Fro-yo girl here. Congrats to Souvla on turning TEN. The tenth anniversary inspired a special collaboration between Souvla and Bi-Rite Creamery. Walnut Baklava Cherry Swirl, a limited edition collaboration, is a combination of Souvla’s frozen Greek yogurt and Bi-Rite Creamery ice cream, with a dark cherry syrup swirl and baklava made with honey, cinnamon, and toasted walnuts. I knew I had to try this limited edition flavor!
It’s a sweet and tangy yogurt ice cream. Souvla fans will appreciate the nod to Souvla’s froyo toppings, vissino and baklava. Interestingly, both Souvla's froyo and Bi-Rite's ice cream are made with Straus dairy.
Walnut Baklava Cherry Swirl Greek yogurt ice cream: It did remind me of Souvla’s frozen Greek froyo with added cream. It wasn’t quite as sour and while it was sweeter than the froyo, it seemed less sweet than your typical ice cream. The baklava pieces were a lot smaller than you’d get with your Souvla froyo, but the components did remind me of Souvla baklava. The cherry syrup was another nice touch – not sour, not too sweet. A scoop is $6 and a pint $11. For reference, you can get a cup of Souvla frozen Greek yogurt for $5 (plain), $6 with sour cherry syrup and $8 with baklava crumbles. Do I prefer Souvla froyo or the Souvla/Bi-Riteyogurt ice cream? The velvety, sour froyo of course. But Walnut Baklava Cherry Swirl is a tasty new flavor that does taste like froyo.
You can get Walnut Baklava Cherry Swirl yogurt ice cream pints at Bi-Rite and Souvla locations and get it by the pint or scoop at Bi-Rite Creamery on 18th Street in San Francisco. Delivery is available.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
