Fro-yo girl here. When I first heard about the Argentum Project, which opened in July of this year, I knew it was a place that I had to visit. The owners grew up in Greece. The Argentum Project is a “Greek-style coffee cafe featuring Greek specialties, take away sweets & savories and gift items." One of the items on the menu is award winning soft serve frozen yogurt from Greece (Kayak brand).
The soft serve frozen yogurt is available in two flavors, original 0% no sugar added or vanilla.
Small $5/ Medium $7/ Large $9
The price includes your choice of honey syrup, sour cherry syrup, or housemade baklava crumbles. Or you can add a Greek spoon sweet (+$1.25), organic fruit (+$1.50) or granola (+$0.50).
* Original, 0% fat, no sugar added. This was icier than the vanilla. It was sweeter than I expected because the yogurt has Stevia. There was no tang and it didn’t have much flavor.
* Vanilla: Fat and no Stevia made this the better flavor. It was rich, velvety smooth, and very creamy. The vanilla flavor was subtle. While the texture was nice, the yogurt seemed to melt quickly and was never that firm, even when I first received the cup. The frozen yogurt had little tang. While it was good, it wasn’t as flavorful as I had hoped. It was different than the usual vanilla froyo – less like ice cream and more like froyo but not tangy.
In addition to frozen yogurt, the Argentum Project offers Greek specialties like spanakopita, bougatsa, hortopita, tiropita, tahinopita, baklava, kataifi, pastachio, beeftekia, Greek desserts, sandwiches, spreads, salads, and more.
If you want to check it out, be aware that it’s in a rundown area with a lot of pawn shops.
4 out of 5 stars.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
