Kiwiberri - West Los Angeles (BH/Hollywood)

Posted on Friday 25 January 2008

If you’re hanging out around the Beverly Center - it’s essentially the mecca of LA - where you will find the most interesting individuals and even celebrities browsing around stores or maybe even grabbing a frozen yogurt. A hop, skip, and less than a jump away, get your froyo fix at:

8562 W 3rd Street
Los Angeles, CA 90048

In a small plaza host to a few restaurants, it was gratifying to cap off the night after enjoying sushi from Mishima at neighboring Kiwiberri. Parking is available in the plaza lot it is located in, but note it is rather a tight fit.

They offer 4 different flavors - blueberry, mango-passionfruit, strawberry, and plain.

Reviewer’s pick of the day:

Strawberry frozen yogurt with single topping mochi.

Prices are relatively competitive with the Pinkberry’s and other frozen yogurts of the world - and like many other establishments, you would save more if you go with a 3-topping selection.

On to the crucial taste test. Kiwiberri’s strawberry flavored frozen yogurt is surprisingly good compared to a lot of the ‘fruit’ flavored frozen yogurts offered out there. I normally stay within comfort zone with safe plain, but this time strawberry did it for me. Of course, nothing about it evoked any sudden addictions. I’d say Kiwiberri fares OK in our book - the flavors are safe, and toppings aren’t bad. What Kiwiberri lacks is originality - I didn’t find anything exciting about their topping line up.

I wasn’t disappointed with their mochi - texture-wise and taste-wise I enjoyed the mochi, although I cannot vouch that it is the best mochi I have ever had. In a sense, it was mochi as it should be. Nothing higher nor lower than my expectations.

The decor and seating inside is colorful and cute. Everything is clean inside, as touted by their grade A sign. Again, I wasn’t left feeling too impressed by the establishment, but I wasn’t disappointed either. If you’re enjoying sushi at Mishima, may as well stop by for some froyo to quench your cravings. Let us know what you think about Kiwiberri.
