Everyone has suddenly gone ape for fro-yo. I have no idea why - it's really not that much healthier than some ice-creams. A friend who was pretty enthused about this place (and goes back at least once a week it would seem) took me so we could give it a whirl.
Mediocre.
Honestly, there's nothing special about this place. Nothing stands out. Apparently it's an uber hip franchise from America so maybe that's why everyone is shitting bricks over it. I was surprised it wasn't on Yelp actually because there seems to be such a freaking hoo-ha about it.
Yes, there are lots of flavours, yes they change weekly or daily or whatever. Yes you pay by the ounce (WE DON'T USE OUNCES HERE YOU ARE IN AUSTRALIA!). Yes, it's hip and funky, or will be for about 5 mins. It's no different from Moochi, Wow Cow or any other stupidly named fro yo bar's there are out there. Just to let you know I had a bit of coffee flavoured, coconut flavoured, chocolate flavoured, and red velvet cake mix flavoured. Meh.
I just have this image that in about 6 months time we will be over frozen yoghurt and we'll see signs half hanging off shop fronts, people with bright pink aprons roaming the streets with vacant expressions, cup upon cup with those funkalicious designs scattered about abandoned train stations.....Perhaps it will join the dessert fad brotherhood - the humble but forgotten macaron, the overhyped cake pop and countless other food slaves to food fashion. read more
