We really enjoyed our froyo! There's a great variety of flavors, including non-dairy options, and the toppings are endless -- from fruit and candies to cookies, brownies, and sauces. The shop is clean, bright, and inviting. So glad we stopped by for dessert! read more

Yogi Castle - the inside of a restaurant - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

I love how this place has a vegan, oat milk yogurt! I wish this place was open later! It's my new favorite solo date or date spot :)

Yogi Castle is so much better than Sweet Frog. The topping selection is so vast, and they have such good flavors here. The staff is very kind, and there are outdoor setting options, which are great for the summer. My typical order is vanilla, cotton candy, and cake batter froyo, with sour gummy worms, gummy bears, lots of sprinkles, and chocolate wafer straws. My friends are really big fans of the popping pearls as well. read more

Love Yogi Castle on Route 40! Always a great variety of flavors and toppings are always fresh and plentiful. The staff is wonderful! I am always welcomed when I come in and they are so friendly. I frequent there and highly recommend! read more

TORN on this rating. I love me some Fro-Yo. LOVE! AND this Yogi Castle has the absolute best service of the local places I've been to -- sweet and welcoming, never bothered to help with samples. BUUUUUUUUUUT this location tends to be pretty hit-and-miss on the Staple Flavors. Sure, there is always the Tart Yogurt (BLECH), Milk Chocolate (definitely not a palatable chocolate IMHO), and Vanilla (uhm, PLEASE). But the other flavors rotate constantly and unpredictably. Favorite flavors of Salted Caramel Popcorn, Coffee, or Snickers are occasional. Fro-Yo Legend Taro is rare at best. Very sad indeed. More than once, I've departed sans fro-yo. Which is indeed tragic. ...don't cry for me... read more

Love this place... Most flavors, and toppings then any other fro yo shop on 40. The people are super polite and greet you when you enter and leave. I love this place, may not have as much space as tutti but the product is worth it. read more

Yogi Castle - Pomegranate raspberry is the best flavor, especially mixed with cake batter. - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

The 2nd froyo joint on Route 40, off of Bethany Lane, competition to Tutti Frutti. I'll do a compare/contrast of the two places. Price: Tutti Frutti's (TF) summer price is ~$0.37/ounce whereas Yogi Castle's (YC) is around $0.43/ounce. However, YC deducts the weight of the cup from the total price. TF has two cup sizes and YC only has one size. TF's stamp card works by for every purchase over $4, you get a stamp and when you have 10 stamps, you get the next cup free. At YC, there's no stamp card, you give the cashier a phone number as sort of a membership number and every purchase gets added to your account. Once you've spent $50, they will deduct $5 from your next purchase. TF sounds like it's a better discount but depending on the amount you get on average each time you get froyo, the discounts will probably come out to around the same. I like TF's stamp card better. Flavors: YC definitely has double or more the number of flavors than TF, but I believe they are consistent flavors, whereas TF has rotating flavors, a bit more spontaneous. YC's flavors are also a lot richer and heavier than TF but they have some really good ones, like Peanut Butter, Strawberry, and Snickerdoodle. Didn't like the Red Velvet, Euro Tart or Cake Batter. I personally believe a froyo place should have a good tart flavor, so thumbs down for that. In terms of toppings, TF has more variety. Traffic: There's more open space at YC but more seats at Tutti Frutti. YC has a nice bar area but few seats on it. Plenty of standing room. Both places have weird entrance/exits into the parking lot involving U-turns. If another froyo place comes in nearby where you can turn in at an actual traffic light, I guarantee they'll do well! Until then, if you want light, tart, and fruity flavors, go to TF. If you want a creamier more dessert-like flavor, YC's your place. read more

Similar to the Tutti Frutti (located on Rte 40, closer to the center of Ellicott City) to the Do-It-Yourself Froyo. They have more novelty flavors available (almost twice as much as the Tutti Frutti), but for some reason I had the misfortune of picking the flavors that were a bit too too soft, quite melty (didn't set-up yet in the machine). Some of the novelty flavors I tried were: Red Velvet (tasted like the batter, but it also had the consistency of the batter), Snickerdoodle (like rice pudding! yay), and Cake Batter (erm... I didn't really get cake batter flavor with this one for some reason). Yogi Castle may have more flavors, but they have less variety at the toppings bar than Tutti Frutti. Yogi Castle deducts the weight of the cup (12 cents per cup) prior to charging the costumer for the weight of the froyo and toppings. Located in the plaza with Roma Pizza, behind the Pizza Hut plaza. read more

I don't really like Yogi Castle as much as Tutti Frutti, which is another self-serve froyo place on Route 40 East, probably for a few reasons: 1. They don't have as many Asian toppings like mochi, grass jelly, lychee etc. . . 2. Not very many yogurt flavors that looked appealing to me-- I mean seriously, red velvet flavored froyo?! 3. The yogurt had a thicker consistency than Tutti Frutti, making me wonder which froyo was actually healthier. 4. The price per ounce is also higher here! read more

I love Yogi Castle, and I was crushed when I learned that the locations near me were closing, but I feel a bit better now knowing that some locations stayed open! This Yogi Castle is like the other locations that I have visited, it has about ten or so flavored frozen yogurt options, and maybe twenty topping and syrup options. The yogurt is fresh and delicious, the is store is clean, and I appreciate the simplicity of their business model! This frozen yogurt shop is a great option if you would like a frozen dessert, minus the guilt! read more

Self-serve frozen yogurt with a more traditional range of flavors - chocolate, mint, peanut butter, and some variety in red velvet and mango yogurts. Tart and green tea add some neutrality to the mix. Toppings are standard for the modern froyo joint, fresh cut fruit, nuts, candy, sprinkles and ... cereal? Great dessert price but pretty pricey at $0.43/oz . This is the only drawback, seeing as Tutti Frutti down the street is about 15% cheaper. Still, the flavors are more my style as I prefer the chocolate/pb/coffee/vanilla/strawberry blend. They make a point of saying that "the weight of the cup is deducted" but it is still more expensive. read more

I'm not a FroYo fan, but my family loved Yogi Castle. The experience is unique, and the taste is great. It's a little pricy, however no more then high end ice-cream shops. Nad, you pay by weight so it is completely in your control. All-in-all, a great place. read more

Yogi Castle - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

Don't take your kids here. They love to eat the many delicious flavors of frozen yogurt with numerous toppings. They have an amazing selection of delicious goodies you can put on your froyo. It's easy to get in and out of this place with a heavy bowl of froyo for the excitement of your taste buds. Beware once you go in, you'll want to try all the delectable treats and flavors. Enjoy! read more

My munchkins have a bunch of activities in the area so they go to this place at least once a week, and after the occasional Friday night grub we may come here for dessert. The munchkins give this place a solid 5 stars. I'm a grownup so I'm going with 4. It's comfortable, convenient to get there off the main drag, plenty of seating and they have a pretty good, pretty tasty, and reasonably varied selection of Fro-Yo (as the kids call it). I'm sure I'll be there this week too. Pro-Tip: Get their t-shirt, wear it and get .50 off your yogurt every time you go. The ones my munchkins wear are getting pretty ratty by now. read more

The employees were super nice and helpful. They also have a good amount of selection for yogurt and their topping. My favorites were cotton candy, dulce de leche, and cake batter. Good price too read more

There are loads of frozen yogurt places along rt. 40 each with a more disastrous parking situation than the last. I was already here at the salon and couldn't resists stopping in to see what flavors they had. Once I saw dulce de leche, I was committed. I asked the girl behind the counter for a sample cup to try it. I guess the new rules with these froyo places are the staff has to get it for you. Now, I just feel like a pain. I tried it, really liked it and onward I went. I also tried the birthday cake flavor and have liked it much better than the others I've tried. Their froyo is smooth and their toppings are plentiful. They had 10-12 different flavors and two different sizes of cups. I still wish these places offered an even smaller sized cup. It was worth the stop and I will be back next time I stop into the salon or our friend's house down the street. read more

Love this place...more flavors tham other local shops.

These people specialize in "taking the price of your cup" away from your total price. that would have been an awesome competitive advantage, except that your price per ounce is quite a bit higher. there are a fewer array of toppings, and although the flavors are quite different from those seen at other places, it definitely doesn't taste very appetizing. for the asian style froyo, this is too creamy. it's on par in terms of creaminess with your typical OG froyo though. read more

The BEST frozen yogurt that is NATURAL. No powder. Variety of flavors that they switch up. Great toppings including fruit and candy. Staff is always helpful and fun (shout out to Amanda and Spencer). Great music and clean area. I spent most of my high school weekends here and don't regret a thing. Highly recommend for fro-yo lovers of all ages! read more

This is the first self serve frozen yogurt place that we fell in love with. They have a great variety of yummy flavors and large choice of toppings. I love the hot fudge! The cake batter yogurt is my favorite flavor. The staff are great too! We hope they stay a long time. read more

Ok. Let's talk about something...let's talk about...deliciousness. 100% pure deliciousness. If someone asked me to kill you, the reader, for some of Yogi Castle's red velvet low-fat frozen yogurt, I'd carry out that task without a thought. Don't worry...I'd make it quick...I'd want to hurry up and get to my amazing froyo blood money. Oh, there is a $5 minimum on debit/credit card usage, but that doesn't matter for me, as someone else is paying for the hit. read more

There are a TON of options to chose from in terms of flavors - they have sugar free, fat free, light - I appreciate the diversity in selection. There are a good number of toppings to chose from as well - and you can even go with a cone instead of the cup. I've had both their chocolate and vanilla flavors and I find that their yogurt tastes more like ice cream - it's very thick and creamy. Parking is a little awkward and it is hard to find if you aren't familiar with the area. read more

Wonderful selection of yogurt and toppings and the store is very clean. Other attractive attributes are the late hours (open until 11pm on Friday and Saturday) and the reasonable prices. Have gone there with my family 3 times already in the last week! Great way to beat this summer heat. read more

Let me start by saying that my wife and I were absolutely thrilled when we discovered this place! We visited many times over the subsequent weeks and brought everyone we knew there. Both of us are transplanted west coasters and great fans of tart frozen yogurt. The variety of yogurt here is astonishing, however we always got the same thing. The Yogi Castle Eurotart is simply the best frozen yogurt we've ever had. It's light, tart and, best of all, not only is it the best tasting and most refreshing choice, it has only 70 calories per 3 oz serving, which is 20 cal less than the next lightest yogurt, and half the calories of some of the heavier selections like peanut butter and red velvet. Compared to the Classic Tart it is lighter, more flavorful and more tart. Not to mention fewer calories. For fans of tart yogurt it is as good as it gets. You can imagine my dismay when last I visited Yogi Castle only to find that they stopped carrying eurotart and replaced it with yet another fruit flavor. Worst of all, I was told by the manager that they would not be getting it back because they already had enough tart flavors. I understand that taste is subjective, however I find it hard to believe that a business that prides itself on healthy desserts and a myriad of choices would discontinue it's healthiest, lightest and most refreshing flavor and replace it with yet another fruit flavored yogurt. Yogi Castle is a fantastic place that I'm sure any frozen yogurt fan will absolutely love. I encourage everyone to go. Just know that until eurotart comes back you will not be getting their best! It is because of this that I beg of you one simple thing. WHEN YOU GET TO THE REGISTER ASK WHO EVER IS BEHIND THE COUNTER WHEN EUROTART IS GOING TO BE BACK!!! If enough people ask maybe they will listen and Yogi Castle will be just a little better and healthier for it. Update: I just went to Yogi Castle and found that they again carry Eurotart. I've revised the rating as promised. Thanks read more

This froyo is the best and so are its employees! They have all the top flavors and the fruit toppings are so fresh. The employees are so nice. Amanda, Ashley and Spence are great read more

Love Yogi Castle! Our son loves it so much, he will eat out at E.C. restaurants (that we like) just so he can get to go to YC! Very clean, friendly staff, nice variety of toppings, and flavors. Two sizes, but since they deduct the cost of the cup weight, it doesn't much matter which size you get; just get as much as you want/need. read more

Love this place! I take everyone from my family here (young and old) and i've always come out smiling. The flavors revolve, so you mighty not see the same flavors every month. read more

Very nice people. The first time we went, this one employee was very friendly with all the customers and loved to chat with the customers.

I go here when I'm in the area or getting my dog groomed next door. The staff is always super friendly and their yogurt and toppings are fresh and delicious. (Not all chains are equal- I tried the one in Columbia and it's not the same don't go there) The place itself is always clean and kept that way. I've been here numerous times and never had a bad experience. The last time I came, they were fundraising for the Old EC flood which was nice too. read more

I have frequented TuttiFrutti and Yogi Castle and there is no comparison! Tutti Fruitti has a neat decor that seems to reflect the west coast, but when it comes to frozen yogurt, Yogi wins hands down. There are so many flavors and they have expanded their toppings to include lychee and moshee (spellings?). The last time that I went to TuttiFrutti I had to leave and go to Yogi Castle because Tutti Frutti didnt have chocolate. NO Chocolate??? I think vanilla and chocolate and one fruit flavor should be standard. I love the fact that Yogicastle has about 16 flavor offerings, when we go in a group everyone can be satisfied. read more

Fewer assorted flavors offered than one would expect. Tutti Frutti, also located off of Route 40 is a better choice.
