It’s an attractive shop in the heart of Larchmont Village. You’ll find six self-serve froyo flavors and toppings for $1.35/oz, classic (non-frozen) Greek yogurt, sweet and savory Greek yogurt bowls, and smoothies made with froyo ($13.25 each). The yogurt is kept in big terracotta bowls, like you’d see in a yogurteria in Greece. The yogurt is imported from Greece.
The toppings are healthy, for the most part. Some of the toppings cost extra, including the Greek spoon sweets, honey, shaved chocolate, and even peanut butter. It seems stingy to me when the yogurt is already expensive.
Before entering the shop, I saw a sign that said sorry, we do not offer samples. I think that’s just bad practice. Have employees dispense the samples to avoid sampling abuse.
I decided to try a savory bowl, the Greek salad ($14.99). Mr. Froyo pointed out that the sign did not specify that the Greek salad came with yogurt. The Greek salad wound up being 50% plain Greek yogurt and 50% sliced Persian cucumbers, grape tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and olive oil. I did not see or taste the oregano, salt, or pepper. The salad was fine though it didn’t feel like a salad. It was fresh but very plain. The yogurt was silky, rich, and smooth. It wasn’t sour. It was good yogurt. I wanted more salt and pepper at least and would have also loved some onions and fresh herbs.
This location is owned by a franchisee.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
