New Souvla Opens in the Dogpatch (San Francisco)




Fro-yo girl here. Souvla #5 opened in the Dogpatch in mid-August of this year. The new spot is their largest location thus far and includes a larger menu. You’ll find all the items that they serve at the other locations plus an expanded wine list, new cold meze and hot meze options like octopus salad, lamb meatballs, spanakopita, etc. They also added loukoumades (Greek donuts). Loukoumades and Greek froyo, anyone?

The regular menu includes spit fired all-natural meats (Snake River Farms pork shoulder, Mary’s free range rotisserie chicken, Thomas Farms lamb) served as a pita sandwich or salad, with a sweet potato option for vegetarians. They also have sides, Greek beverages (including their own wine) and Straus Family Creamery organic Greek frozen yogurt with toppings or plain ($5). Toppings include sour cherry syrup, olive oil & sea salt, baklava crumbles & honey syrup, and Cretan wildflower honey.

In case you’re wondering, the froyo is just as good at this location. There’s one size and one flavor, plain. It’s my favorite froyo! So good! Creamy but not heavy, tangy even sour, natural tasting, lightly sweetened. The sour cherry syrup isn’t that sour but it does enhance the tang of the froyo. The portion is still generous enough to satisfy though it doesn’t last long because I love it. The menu used to not mention that they used Straus organic dairy.

The price has gone up a dollar (from $5 in 2021 to $6 or $8 for froyo with baklava) but still feels totally worth it. Wish there were a smaller size, not that I have any problems finishing my Souvla froyo.

The froyo is the best thing on the menu!

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
