Yogaberry is the pioneer, behind-the-counter fro-yo shop in Jacksonville. Two years ago, Yogaberry opened at the St. Johns Town Center, turning me on to another food obsession. I'm guessing the popularity of self-serve shops and the added competition of having Mochi less than a mile away eventually led the owners to change this location to a Yobe.The stand-alone location on San Jose Blvd. still serves their yogurt behind the counter (or via the convenient drive-thru). Yogurt is available in five sizes at set price points. The cost of toppings is 95 cents for one topping or $1.50 for three. Ahh... limitations. The good thing is that they load up your cup with yogurt and toppings for a predetermined price -- no holding your breath when you put your cup on the scale. The bad part is that I'm the type of person who likes to try a little of a lot of things, and this pricing system doesn't lend itself easily to that.
The yogurt and toppings are of the same high quality as Yobe. Instead of eight available flavors, however, there were only six. My one complaint from Yobe -- melty banana yogurt -- was not a problem at this location. The banana and taro were the perfect consistency and held up for a brief car ride. (I had a hair appointment and didn't want to be late. And no, I had no shame in eating the second half of my yogurt in the waiting area of the salon.)
The best part? The drive thru is open until 9:30 pm Mon-Thurs and 10:30 pm on Fri and Sat. Goodbye, insatiable cravings!
Yogaberry gets a B+ from me.
What I ate:
Yogurt -- banana, taro
Toppings -- blueberries, strawberries, mochi perfection
