Go Greek Yogurt Opens in Studio City, CA

 

Fro-yo girl here. Go Greek Yogurt announced the opening of their new shop at The Center at Coldwater in Studio City, CA, on June 26 on Instagram. The shop has been open for a few weeks prior to the Instagram post. They might have a grand opening celebration in the future.

The shop features six flavors of self-serve froyo a day with toppings for $1.25/oz, smoothies, and handcrafted Greek yogurt with sweet and savory toppings. The Greek yogurt comes in a variety of flavors like rose, strawberry, and Greek honey.

According to the Instagram post, “Swing by on or before July 10, 2024 and get 15% off your next order when you mention code STUDIOCITY15. *Limited to one-time use only.” The cashier did not know about the code. I've encountered this issue multiple times at different Go Greek locations. 

While the froyo was rich, smooth and flavorful and the toppings healthier than usual, it is very expensive at $1.25. Also, the fruit doesn’t appear to be organic, and the toppings options have gotten worse (they no longer offer Greek toppings like they used to or even flaxseeds).

Even worse, they do not allow any sampling. This seems stupid to me because why would you want someone to get a cup of yogurt that they don’t like if they could sample it first and make an informed decision. If they’re concerned about sample abuse, they could have the employee dispense the samples.

But the plain tart is excellent. It tastes like yogurt and it’s so creamy. The blood orange flavor was too strong, to the point where I could not really taste the yogurt (although it was vegan and I'm not sure it was vegan yogurt).
