Seems the froyo trend is catching on pretty quickly in a city that is known for being pretty laid back and casual. San Diego’s latest froyo spotting - meet Yogurt Lounge.
7317 Clairemont Mesa Blvd
San Diego, CA 92101
It’s right next door to Tea Station, so if you’re in need of a froyo and boba fix, why not save some room for both?
The pros: plenty of parking(as opposed to nearby acclaimed Yogurt World), indoor + outdoor seating, and self-serve for those of you who like to handle your own yogurt, because that’s just the way you roll. And being a stickler for cleanliness and peace and quiet, this yogurt joint is nice because it’s not too crowded, at least when we stopped by.
Questionable: flavors, are they really as good as they sound? from thai tea to peanut butter, you get a variety to choose from, but how good is each? And in terms of iciness and texture, how is Yogurt Lounge when put to the test? Mediocre. The melt factor was a big let down, it seemed to get runny rather quickly, but it’s on par with the froyo you get at Yogurt World, some might argue they are one and the same.
To our surprise, they don’t tout how “healthy” their froyo is at this location - and that’s refreshing to hear because maybe they’ve decided to be honest with the fact that their froyo is not the cureall for your digestive system or acne problems (yes, we’ve seen these slogans all too many times.)
Pure and simple - 38 cents an ounce. Which is competitively similar to all the self-serve frozen yogurt stores we’ve witnessed sprouting around California.
Pretty standard toppings and something new, a wide assortment of syrups. Oh that sugary-goodness to add to your already hefty cup of sugary-delight, sure, why not?
Any kid’s dream come true, right?
Surprisingly, the pina colada and banana flavored froyo was not bad at all. Although, I could do without the faux thai tea, and the chalky taro.
And there you have it, one more froyo joint for San Diego to choose from, load up your toppings, and let us know what you think!
