In the high 80's this evening when I took a short break from work and found this little frozen yogurt shop in my neck of the woods. I was offered a little taste of the RootBeer froyo and liked it so I ordered half RootBeer and half Vanilla layered with carob in the bottom of the mini cup and on top with a sprinkle of coconut and pecan pralines. Opted to enjoy it inside the shop and witnessed the stream of customers coming in for their choice of frozen delights. Service was quick with two staff members. Found out the shop has been here nearly 20 years! Clean interior with a conservative number of chairs and tables. They have quite a number of toppings to choose from but little fresh fruit options. Still a treat though! read more

The Yogurt Barn - Mini cupful of Root beer and Vanilla with some crunchy toppings. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lakeside, California

Order and pay at counter. Lots of toppings . There's room to sit and enjoy your treat. Soft serve vanilla and chocolate. Would return

Solid spot but it smells in here not gonna lie lmao The employees are super nice and are more than happy to help you with samples. The mini ($3.75) is enough for one person. Just don't get a kid to go - just eat some and then ask for a kid because then you get less if you ask for a lid on your frozen yogurt initially. Their strawberries and cream ice cream is really tasty. Same with their watermelon! It is warm in here and it smells. But the frozen yogurt is solid so that's a 3.5/5 for me read more

The yogurt is great but I really want to comment on the customer service. I was in yesterday, June 11 at a very busy time in the early afternoon. I counted 29 people in the store. Lily was the only one working and she was phenomenal! There were lots of very noisy kids waiting and eating and she kept smiling, serving everyone in a very friendly and expeditious manner while working the register As well. She never lost her composure. What an asset to this team! I was very impressed. KUDOS to you Lily! read more

We've always loved going to this place the frozen yogurt is so good but Jace is just super nice and always very attentive and honestly makes it harder to say no more frozen yogurt for the week and just keep going in thanks for being great to us every time we come in read more

My daughters and I visited here for the first time tonight. The frozen yogurt is really good and they have a lot of good toppings. The staff was great with my daughter who is dairy free. They got her something she loved. Great little spot. read more

The Yogurt Barn - Graham Cracker frozen yogurt with Oreo and hot fudge. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lakeside, California

Amazing flavors, toppings and service. Love this spot. I'd much rather support a small business like this than go elsewhere. Great place on a warm evening. read more

Really good flavors. They have rewards. And it's unique compared to other shops in lakeside. The atmosphere is a little basic. The staff is decent enough. The prices are better then other ones like it. P.s. I am slightly addicted to the tart strawberry and mango with graham cracker crumbs topping. read more

Yogurt was very good. They have a great way of putting toppings through out the yogurt; mixing it in from bottom to top rather than just on top like most places. Very smart. read more

his is my favorite yogurt shop. They have a nice selection of rotating frozen yogurts and their rewards program accumulates free yogurt quite often. The staff is always friendly and offer free sample cups upon entering the store. The place always feels clean and the toppings bar is always fresh! read more

The Yogurt Barn - Delicious - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lakeside, California

The shake was tasty but at $7.50 for a small sized cup, it just wasn't worth it. I should have known when the employee said "This is the first one I've made..", that was a clue. The cones and cups were what everyone was getting and that should have been a hint. read more

The Yogurt Barn - $7.50 for a shake this size? Yeah it was tasty but come on, way too small. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lakeside, California

My buddies daughter knew the people the work there and own it. Yelp app also gave a discount when checking in which was cool. They allow samples and had great customer service and a nice selection of toppings. No complaints about this place and will for sure be back. read more

Time after time my wife and I visit YB. And I always tip $2 dollars or more to the people that are working their shift. Tonight, my order wasn't even filled/packed properly. This evening, I tipped $2 dollars and this is what I got what you see posted here. I didn't even get a "you're welcome" for the $2 dollars either, as they were probably insulted that I gave such a paltry amount. I won't be tipping anymore because we won't be back. Thanks. read more

Love the little yogurt barn so many flavors to choose from this is not a self serve they serve it for you and make it with love highly recommend not expensive and a great experience read more

They are serving half the amount for the same price. They no longer use the bubble lids. Disappointed.

We love going to the Yogurt Barn! The Yogurt is always delicious, there's lots of flavors to choose from. Their generous portions are so great! Definitely worth every penny! The staff is always very friendly. We definitely will be back! read more

My family goes to the yogurt barn very frequently because they have no sugar added flavors everyday. My dad cannot eat sugar and my brother is diabetic so we really appreciate them being able to have a treat whenever they like. The service is always amazing as well. read more

I was in the mood for some yogurt so I decided to come here because I was in the area. I do like the fact that they have different sizes not just small medium large. I decided to go with the child's size because it seemed like it was just gonna to be enough. It was actually too much. Enough for 2 people maybe even 3 which I think is a bit excessive. I didn't want the much yogurt to begin with so I felt like I wasted my money because I threw half of it away,I didn't eat it. And since the toppings were in the middle I didn't even get to them. This is why sometimes it's better having yogurt that you can serve yourself rather than someone serving it to you because what they deem a good amount is actually too much. read more

Usually Yogurt barn always has good service but today was just a very sad day. I went to yogurt barn to get my favorite fro yo but there was this silly goose teen by himself there blasting silly goose music and told us it was close. it was 9:50. They close at 10pm. This was completely unacceptable. I will be speaking to a manager read more

The Yogurt Barn - the hours and hours of the yogurt barn - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lakeside, California

Good yogurt, not too expensive only critique is they don't have that many flavors to chose from, a lot of toppings though.

Yogurt is always good. Never have to wait an unreasonable amount of time for service. Staff is always top notch!

Yogurt Barn isn't your typical frozen yogurt establishment that pays per ounce but rather per cup. Their portions are HUGE, and I only got a child size. When you see the sizes, it does make sense that the large is $10. Compared to others, the quality of their froyo is on the creamier side which is delightful and the place your toppings on the bottom and top of your yogurt. I enjoy the Peanut Butter and the Butterfinger flavors. The only reason this place didn't receive 5 is how unnecessarily warm it is in there for a frozen yogurt place. It wasn't too bad outside but walking in you get a face full of warmth which didn't feel like it welcomed you to eat in their establishment despite the nice and efficient customer service. A little weird considering it's again A FROZEN YOGURT PLACE, but I'm sure that the employees are okay as they were wearing jean jackets. read more

My family & I have been going to Yogurt Barn for years. Always friendly service & a delicious selection of flavors. Smooth delicious frozen yogurt & loads of toppings. They offer tasty sugar & dairy free options daily! That means everyone in the family & all your friends have options available. If today's flavors aren't your favorites never fear! There's also a freezer full of additional choices that are prepacked & ready to go. They even carry frozen treats for your canine pals! This business supports multiple local charities & youth organizations. The owners & staff take part in community events. This really is our small town froyo shop & we are so grateful to have them! read more

Yogurt is yogurt and we all have our spots : my first time here during Covid and I wasn't impressed with them NOT enforcing patrons to wear a mask. When I asked the worker if this is something they do enforce she just stared at me and the group of patrons all not practicing social distancing or wearing masks : How they let people sample flavors is beyond me. Most places have stopped sampling. I have friends who live in the area and say every time they go there they encounter the same problem and have now stopped. Maybe it's a lakeside thing not supporting covid and it's seriousness : shame on you ! As an ICU nurse I can tell you it's out there and I will never set foot in your shop again and I will discourage others to do so. Be responsible please read more

My kids and I love this place and they give military discount. Shame on the lady leaving a bad review because of the staff not enforcing COVID "standards." ICU Nurse or not. It is a local, family friendly place that has a great frozen yogurt with great toppings! Thank you for your business and support! read more

This is a superb choice for yogurt. The yogurt is not too sweet and has not too strong of a flavor and is creamy. The toppings may seem expensive for 1.50 but it's a generous amount. The staff is really friendly too. read more

I can't believe I haven't given this place a review before. I have lived in Lakeside for a few years now, and this is the only place I go to for fro-yo. They always have a rotation of new, amazing flavors, and they are all just delicious. You also get a decent portion of yogurt for the price- oz. per oz. way cheaper than Menchies and just as good-if not better! I also feel good about supporting a small, local business, so give this place a shot! read more

Great flavors amazing service, those girls behind the counter are really niece and very attentive. Keep up the great work! read more

This place is SOOOOO good!! I live in downtown San Diego and always frequent Yogurtland. However, I was in east county and decide to try this place based on a suggestion. I FELL IN LOVE with the chocolate and peanut butter combination! The prices are amazing!! I get ripped off at the Yogurtland in Little Italy. I can't believe how delicious the yogurt was and I thought it was better that the young guy there made it.. After all, he is the expert not me! I was reluctant about a place when I do not put the toppings on myself. However, this guy that worked there made it amazingly. He put some of the 3 toppings for $1 on the bottom, then yogurt, then more toppings, then more yogurt, and back and forth. He would use two spoons to smush the toppings into the yogurt on the sides, it was AMAZING!! 5 Stars for - delicious chocolate and peanut butter side by side combo - skills of guy that works there is putting toppings on yogurt, and he was spelndid with the toppings - the price -customer service - and accept credit card!! :) LOVE THIS PLACE!!! read more

The Yogurt Barn - Wow!! All this for $5!! :) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lakeside, California

I love the yogurt here. Staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable. BUT I think the Owner must be a cheap tightwad! 1. The owner needs to fix the AC or allow her employees to turn it on! The last time I went in we could not sit and eat because it was too hot. And the yogurts were melting as they sat there waiting for me to finish me yogurt order. 2. Never enough staffing. Come on owner step it up and give your employees a partner to work with, Sometimes its busy with a line to the door and their is just 1 girl! 3. Where do you find coupons?! I hate having to look for the 1 coupon book that has it. You should let costumers print coupons like Yogurt Mill. read more

Pretty pricey & not self serve (portion sizes are pretty large though). Toppings cost extra & the yogurt gave my whole family a stomach ache. I will say their service was amazing though and the employees were the best part of our trip. read more

Great service and great yogurt. Really good flavors, all the time. I tried a chocolate gelato truffle today and it was super yummy. Don't forget your check in coupon! read more

Awesome! I love their yogurt and the selections are as good as any other place in San Diego. Bottom Line Up Front - I drive 8 miles and pass several substandard yogurt joints along the way...including the Yogurt Mill! Keep up the great work Yogurt Barn! Preston Saunders read more

Yogurt is delicious. Nice prices, especially with the coupon. I especially like combination of ice cream like flavors (chocolate, peanut butter, etc) and genuine tart ones like strawberry, mango. I felt like the service staff was nicer a year or two years ago... Folks now are not mean or rude but don't seem as outgoing. read more

My family and I love this place. My favorite is the strawberry tart. We never had rude employees. Love the fact that they give military discount! read more

I agree with another reviewer, this beats Yogurt Mill any day. For me, I'd rather buy a yogurt of reasonable portion that I can finish in one sitting (I always usually get the mini size) rather than getting some ginormous "child size" from YM. Maybe it's just that I don't like eating leftover yogurt. Either way, Yogurt Barn is awesome. Other pluses: -You can pay here with a card. Go figure, 2014 and you can pay with a card. YM is still cash only, which is pretty annoying. -You can use YM's coupons here as well. -Generous with toppings! -Raspberry Pomegranate. Best flavor ever! read more

My husband and I really like this place. Variety of flavors and toppings. We never had a bad experience. Their machines always seem to be working. Maybe the portion sizes are not as big as the Mill place in El Cajon, but do we really need that much frozen yogurt? The employees are very friendly. 1/14/12: Still going to this Yogurt Barn. Red Velvet Cake and Cookies n Cream are my favorite. Employees are really nice. read more

Great flavors, big servings, friendly staff and reasonable prices... I'm addicted! Candy bar smash, heath, salted carmel pretzel and peanut butter are my favorites! They also have almond Roca topping which I love. read more
