This past summer, i cannot recall the number of times we had stopped by this Cuppa Yo location. It…read moreseems to be a local favorite and I can see why. I'd say mainly because there isn't much going on in North Plains. But here's a little bit about Cuppa Yo:
= Location / Parking =
It's only about a quarter mile away off the Glencoe exit, in the newer shops area of North Plains. Plenty of parking. Only be aware of the indoor daycare center next to it. Actually, that's perfect... Feed the kids froyo and drop them off all hyped up and crazy at daycare haha!
= Tha FRO and YO Toppings =
They have your typical vanilla, milk chocolate, strawberry shortcake, dole whip, and tart. But really love the fact that when I've been here they would rotate flavors with things like salted caramel, root beer, cake batter, coffee, and a good mix of fruity sorbet types from berries to tropical POGs. And I'm pretty sure I've seen some gelato flavors too. I mean for me, it's like a new visit every time!
As for toppings, they've got plenty! From cereals to waffle bits. Boba, cheesecake, crushed candy bars, peanut butter chips, fresh chopped fruits, to mochi, to nuts, and a nice variety of sauces! You name it, it's likely there!
Pricing is by the ounce, so typically with a large and small cup, I know we've spent between $15 to $20 total (with tip). Really not too bad, in my opinion. Plus i like utilizing the Square point system.
= Service =
The kids running the place have been welcoming and receptive. Never have I seen them mad or bored or on their phone ignoring people. They keep the toppings area clean, and I've seen them wipe down tables and mop the flooring. Sorry, I'm just observant with these things. But trust me, I've been to some nasty Menchie locations, like the one off 185th, which is simply "bleh gross!"
= TL;DR =
Go back to the top and READ my review! This may be a franchise location, but I know I've ran into the owners who seem really nice. Plus they run this place well. Therefore, I'm in support of these guys 100%!!!
