    Been seeing this place go viral and made the drive over. Came around 2:30PM Saturday and luckily there was barely a line! We were in and out within 10 minutes, but as we ate, the line went into the parking lot. The size is very generous and reasonably priced; we got two baby sizes for $11! Ordered the chocolate & vanilla swirl with peanut m&ms, and strawberry & vanilla with oreos and graham crackers. I liked the amount and variety of toppings. The frozen yogurt wasn't really anything special, but still tasty and creamy. Vanilla was my favorite. Parking was easy and service was friendly. I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back, but would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area! And with a printed coupon next time!

    Wanted to wait for the hype to die down before coming. Hype is still very much there, but would suggest to avoid the evening rush. This place is cash only. They give monstrous portions and the flavors are really good. I'm not sure if I would drive all the way out again for this but it was a cool experience!

    This spot is always cracking! Line was not too long, stood there 20 min max. The yogurt was incredible. We got junior size which allows you to have 4 flavors. We got peanut butter, mango dole, cake batter, and strawberry. They also change their top 2 flavors and bottom three everyday! Pro tip print print out coupon online. They only accept print out, and they ONLY TAKE CASH! Plenty of parking great service great yogurt

    For a few years now, I've passed the yogurt mill with curiosity. There's always a very long line there. We tried to go at night, but the line was wrapped almost entirely around the strip mall. And then, add a yelp event. Someone mentioned that they will drive out of their way to go to the yogurt milll. So needless to say, I had to try it out. I thought that in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, it would be no problem. The line was shorter and it moved relatively quickly. The first thing you notice is how large the portion sizes are. So kudos on that especially in the day and age of price gouging. Staff was friendly, and I tried a sample of the tart lemonade. It was OK, but I decided to go with peanut butter and chocolate. Added turtle and mixed nuts. Perhaps I'm just not a yogurt, aficionado. The ones I've had in the past seemed to have much more flavor. Honestly, their peanut butter tasted like vanilla. And I think perhaps they need a new vendor for their turtle chocolate as it was waxy. In all, it's a good value for the quantity but not so much for the quality for me. Having said that there is always a very long line there so there must be something I'm missing. Give it a try and see what you think. Oh, and the only accept cash.

    Yogurt Mill lives up to the hype. I got the peanut butter froyo in the second largest size, and chose crushed peanut butter cups and cheesecake bites for the toppings. One thing that really sets Yogurt Mill apart is how they layer the toppings throughout (top, middle, and bottom) so you're not stuck with just froyo halfway through. Every bite is just as good as the first, which I seriously appreciate. Another unexpected bonus is that it freezes incredibly well. My husband and I actually ate it in several sittings since the portion is so huge. Even after being frozen, it still tasted almost as good as the day we got it. Some tips: definitely ask for your yogurt "dropped" and don't forget to bring cash since it's cash only. Love this place and already craving my next visit.

    Not worth going out of your way for; it's just froyo. I can see the appeal of a family business and a gigantic cup of froyo, but you do not need to drive over 20 minutes here and wait in a 40 minute line because their froyo really is just like any other froyo you've ever had. Flavors rotate daily and can be found on their instagram. You can sample their flavors. I found the menu sizes to be a bit misleading (in a good way I guess) since they do overfill and you might end up with more froyo than you anticipated. Toppings say $2.50 each topping but you can split that serving size to select up to 2 topping choices. I would say the baby size is probably the way to go since it's a good amount of froyo with a free topping included. Also Google search for coupons although they must be printed out. They only accept cash, no credit cards. There is ample parking in the lot. Staff is friendly. Service is a bit slow but at least you don't feel rushed. There is limited seating indoors and outdoors.

    it's not bad at all but personally i would give it more of a 3/5 for the yogurt itself. i ended up giving 4 stars because the staffs were super friendly and patient even with how busy it was. this place is sooo hyped up and we waited a good 40 mins in line about an hour before they closed, but thankfully the line moved pretty smoothly and i didn't have any issues. also please be aware that they are CASH ONLY. honestly there's nothing too crazy or special about the yogurt itself, but i will say their sizes are HUGE lol. you definitely get a lot for your money. they're known for putting toppings on the bottom, middle, and top of the cup which was nice because you get toppings throughout instead of just on top. overall it was still a good experience and i'm glad i finally got to see what the hype was about. i personally wouldn't wait 30-40 mins again for regular yogurt, but it was still worth trying at least once!

    We tried The Yogurt Mill this past week, after seeing it on IG, and being in the area, so it was on my list to try. So glad we went, took the family. The line was a little long but moved quickly, they have four windows helping customers, service being excellent! It is CASH ONLY, and they change the flavors daily, checking on their IG page for daily updates. I tried the plain tart, with chopped almonds, it was very tart and I loved it! I only like tart flavors when it comes to yogurt, I don't care for the ice cream type flavors, but they are good. I did try the coconut flavor and it was really good. We all got the baby size which comes with a free topping, and up to three flavors to choose from. This size is more than enough, and so much cheaper than going to chain yogurt store. We were all happy with our choices, and sat inside to eat, it's small inside but has a few tables, there were five of us and we sat comfortably, while enjoying our choices. Definitely recommend if you are out that way, we were not disappointed!

    Tart Sour Apple & Vanilla

    Yogurt Mill just might be the love of my life. Not an exaggeration. I mean this with my whole chest. I'm not sure how many people are with me when I say this, but yogurt is one of my favorite foods! From yogurt bowls to frozen yogurt, I'm a fan of it all. I've been seeing and hearing all about Yogurt Mill, so I dropped by one night to finally try it out! The line was absolutely insane. I think we waited around 40 mins to 1 hour. It's definitely a hot spot, especially at night when everyone's in the mood for a sweet treat. They offer a ton of flavors, toppings, and sizes. We went for the classic Vanilla and their funky Tart Sour Apple (topped with sour gummy worms & rainbow sprinkles). Holy moly. Their froyo was unlike anything I've ever tasted! It was rich, thick, creamy, and just wow. My mind was blown! Also, as a lover of apples, the Tart Sour Apple flavor was probably the most beautiful crossover I've tasted. Their sizes are HUGE! We went with their smallest which is a Baby. It comes with 3 flavors max and 1 free topping. I'd definitely recommend getting bigger sizes since their yogurts refreeze extremely well! They taste just as good. Pro-tip: They're CASH ONLY! If you're looking to use a coupon, you have to have it physically printed out from their site in order to use it. They're old school haha.

    This place is CASH ONLY and a great deal. You get a HUGE cup for a few bucks. I got the baby cup which comes with up to 3 flavors and 2 toppings. A hack is to get the largest cup (since it's the best deal) and freeze the rest at home. It freezes well since the frozen yogurt here is soooo light and fluffy! I don't think it's overly sweet either. The staff is extremely friendly and you can sample any of the many flavors they have before deciding on what you want.

    CASH ONLY!!! This pace is absolutely delicious!! Flavors are rotated I believe, but I'm a vanilla guy myself! If you're going around dinner time be prepared to wait in a line out the door, but I promise the wait is well worth it! This place has been a community favorite not only in El Cajon but people from cities surrounding will travel just to taste this deliciousness. Assorted flavors, toppings and sizes. Customer service is always top notch! I will see you soon Yogurt Mill!

    My friend dragged me out to check out this spot that was on her bucket list, so I was excited. From the beginning, there was a long line (over an hour!) on a Thursday night. The frozen yogurt itself was not impressive. There are a variety of flavors to choose from, my personal favorites I tried were the coconut, peanut butter, and coffee. The serving was generous and fairly priced. What irked me the most was the intense artificial flavors. This place would be better if not for the long wait times. Try to come when it is not as crowded as the wait is not worth it.

    I've ordered from this shop via Door Dash several times over the years, but yesterday I was in the…read moreEl Cajon area and had a craving for their truffle aioli spread and fries, and finally visited in person. There was a long line, but the employees have excellent customer service skills here. I saw them give great, patient, friendly service to everyone even though they were clearly slammed yesterday. Their menu is quite extensive, and they offer an option of tater tots, classic, or waffle fries for each of their fry dishes. My go-to fries are the classic garlic truffle Parmesan. I always get the funky OG burger with American cheese. It's a classic burger with thousand island spread. You can get a large side of spread for $2 as well. The ambiance here seems very warm and welcoming. It looks like a 50s style diner, with booths and bar seating indoors and more seats outside. Their food is not cheap but you'll get a high quality meal every time you come here.

    Tots were very garlicky and flavorful, I'd try the house seasoning next & with waffle fries instead…read moreof tots. The tots were good but a little too salty. The Parmesan/garlic seasoning comes with TONS of garlic which is perfect if you are a garlic lover. The waffle fries with the OG Funky SMASH BURGER were very crispy and delicious The smash burger was okay. Could use a little more flavor I think. It was fresh and high quality however. The fruity pebble shake was absolutely perfect The atmosphere is cool, would definitely return!
