I feel like I've become a bit of a fro-yo connoisseur because I go so often and Aloha is definitely one of my favorites. They always have a good selection and swap their flavors out about once a week.
They also have non-dairy options and now offer waffle cones. Yum!
Aloha is the best! -

This place is great. Always clean, always have new flavors rolling through, and they carry all of my favorite toppings.
Place usually isn't crowded or hard to get to/park like some of the other mall type yogurt shops.
They also have a milkbone flavor for your pup! -

This place is the best! They have a great selection of flavors that they change daily, I think.
Plus it's locally owned, so that's good. -

This place is fantastic and cheap. The flavors are hand crafted an real, not the product of the flavor syrups that every other yogurt shop buys from the same company. There are new flavors all the time, so you should check in at least once a week.
The owner is there working the shop from 11 to 11 every day, so you'll always get great service and he's open to suggestions about new flavors.
If you like frozen yogurt, you have no excuse for not patronizing this place. Try it out! -

I decided to give this place a try because I am lactoseintolerant, and I was hoping they'd have some alternative for me. To my surprise, they do! They've got a lot of other flavors as well, aside from my 2 "dairy free" choices. Toppings are great, customer service is too. Pick up a dog treat if you have a puppy at home - my dog loved it!

They have the BEST customer service and are extremely friendly. If you are looking for a "mom and pop" of self serve yogurt joints, this is the place for you. They offer the same yummy flavors and toppings of all the chains locations. I also LOVE the fact that they stay open until 11pm for my late night cravings AFTER the kids are down for bed (bad I know right lol) and I got a surprise B1G1 special last night via yelp :-)

My favorite fro-yo place! So sad to be moving away from it. They have about 12 flavors to choose from. A few stay always like plain tart and chocolate but the rest rotate around. I've seen Pistachio, Oreo, Butterfinger, Pineapple Tart, Coffee(my fav!), Red Velvet, Crumb Cake, Oatmeal Cookie, and tons of others. There is usually an even mix of tart and sweet flavors and they always have a couple no sugar added or dairy free options.
Lots of toppings to choose from. Ghirardelli syrups, almonds, peanuts, walnuts, cereals, candy, cheescake bits, brownie bits, mochi, and others. They also are pretty pet friendly with outdoor seating and a water bowl for them to drink from. They even have doggy fro-yo but they were out when I tried to get it so I have yet to see if my dog is as in to Aloha as me. -

I love frozen yogurt. A lot. I've been to many of the froyo spots in the East Valley - and Aloha is definitely my favorite. The yogurt is really tasty and great quality, selection of flavors is excellent, and the staff are super friendly. I even mentioned once that I thought their rainbow sprinkles were weird - and I love rainbow sprinkles - and the owner actually did some research on it and started ordering a different - and better - variety of sprinkles! I can't imagine one of the chain yogurt places doing that.
My favorite of their yogurts are the tarts - especially the Peach and Strawberry Tarts. But I have yet to try a flavor I didn't like. I recommend Aloha Yogurt without hesitation! -

Amazing!
While I do not craze frozen yogurt often, Aloha is where I go when I do. There are always new flavors to try and you are able to sample them before buying. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The array of toppings is also fantastic and evolving all the time. The business is clean and inviting and I believe they even offer free wifi.
For those that are pet owners, there is a bench outside and water for the pups if they happen to be accompanying you (Our Dane loves the peanut butter flavor yogurt). The prices here are also very reasonable. As it warms up for the summer, I will definitely be going back again and again and recommend that you do the same. -

Great Yogurt spot!
The store is always sparkling clean and the staff is friendly. They are always ready with plenty of tasting cups! :)
The fresh fruit is cold and fresh.
They have a loyalty card and you get a stamp for each yogurt you buy (Tuesdays are double stamp day)! Your 11th one is free.
They send out discount texts and Facebook posts too.
The fact that I want more flavor choices is the only thing preventing 5 stars.
Aloha! -

This place is GREAT!
I've never been someone that enjoys frozen yogurt as much as everyone else does. However, when a friend recommended this place to me, I decided o give it a shot on a recent hot day that we had.
Now, before I begin, let me preface this by saying that I have tried other yogurt places in the past. (My boyfriend loves frozen yogurt). Unfortunately, they were okay, albeit sticky, but there was never one that made me crave going back for more. That's when Aloha Yogurt stepped in to he picture.
The minute I walked in to a CLEAN yogurt shop (SHOCKER!), the owner offered me tasting cups to try out all of the flavors, which was great because I think he has like 8 flavors of yogurt at one time or something. Plus I am VERY indecisive. So that was a huge plus.
After deciding that I was going to go crazy, I packed a bowl of cake batter, peanut butter and coconut (All AMAZING). I wanted to get a bowl of some of the diary free options, but I decided I would save that for another day. I don't know what it is, but their frozen yogurt just tastes more fresh and more flavor-ful than other yogurt places. Maybe because most other yogurt places are so corporate and all about the dollar. You can tell the owner is there for the customers and cares about the flavors right down to the sprinkles. (Side Note: He told us he is very particular about the sprinkles he gets from a certain vendor because they're more flavorful than most one can normally buy.) It's that sort of attention to detail that impressed me.
Then on to the toppings. Yes, they have the usual toppings, including some different stuff like carob chips, granola, kashi and mochi (for the health conscious). The brownie is especially good! It doesn't taste like the usual freeze dried brownie parts that most yogurt places include. I LOVE that they have Ghirardelli pumps for chocolate, caramel and this amazing white sauce stuff. BUT, the creme de la creme is this liquid version of marshmallow fluff that the owner has come up with that is MAGICAL!!! It tastes like liquid marshmallows mixed with the center of Cadbury cream eggs. I wanted to take home a jar of it! Lol...
Lastly, after packing everything in, I get to the counter thinking I'm going to pay a mint for this monstrosity I had created and the price was INSANELY reasonable. I think the fact that it isn't corporate allows you to pay for the yogurt and not pay money into the pockets of big whigs that could care less about the people. We talked with the owner and he is a really nice, young, down to earth guy that just seems to love talking with people. It's little gems like this place that remind me why I love AZ. ESPECIALLY when I forget, like on a hot day like today.
By the way, I'm officially a frozen yogurt convert and now I check the Aloha Yogurt facebook page to see the new flavors every day. : ) -

Popped in after checking out the buy one-get one deal they have on going on through the Yelp App! I tried pistachio for the first time and it was really good! I went with a friend and she just wanted a bowl of some mixed fruit and they let her do that no problem, for free! (use the app!) The place is clean, quiet, and the staff is friendly, only reason for the 3 stars is that it's nothing really different from your average froyo shop. The complex it's in is a little bit away from ASU campus so the crowd is totally mixed, which I find more attractive. Anyway, make your way over here if you've got a craving and you're near by!

Aloha Yogurt is another reason that I am having a hard time moving from Tempe to Phoenix. Everytime I turn around or have one little bit of doubt of staying, some new amazing place opens in Mill Towne Center. Aloha is no exception.
After hearing about it from Loveland, I took a break from cleaning yesterday and walked there with a friend and her dog. I was anticipating these flavors I was told about, which I believed were too good to be true. I mean snickerdoodle is my favorite. cookie. ever. but a yogurt flavor.. no way.
From the minute we arrived we were welcomed. It was nice. My friend's dog was given a bone to enjoy while he sat outside. Definite bonus points there. We were each given a couple cups to sample some flavors first. I was pondering the base of my creation... snickerdoodle or pineapple. Both were excellent. I finally decided on Snickerdoodle mixed with cake batter, thinking it would be a good combo. I also added some almonds and reese's peanut butter cup.
I was shocked at how low the price was and how delicious it tasted. The cake batter was okay and the snickerdoodle was phenomenal. However, next time I think I need to add more almond. It completely hit the spot and I think my punch card may just be full before long. I mean, since I'm walking there and back it means I can go more than I told myself I could right?
The decor in the place isn't that bad for me. I think the couch idea is great, but I'd love to see more color in there.. maybe mix in some yellows or other tropical tones and not be afraid of using some white :)
I'm also hoping for some other toppings such as coconut, and maybe some pineapple. Curious about what flavors are to behold. Banana? Now banana, pineapple, raspberry would be a great combination!!
You've got me coming back!! -

Went here again and was impressed by the new flavors, especially the watermelon, which is very refreshing and light! As always, great service, and even though I don't have a dog, I like the fact that they have milkbone flavored fro yo for dogs! The late hours are also nice in case you get the late night sweets craving. Upgraded 1 star.

I LOVE this place! My friend and I were on a Tour de FroYo until Aloha came around. We needed to find a locale that was a compromise for us distance-wise, which is how we found this place, and I'm so glad we did because now, I can't go anywhere else!
The flavors are always changing, and though they have stand froyo, they also have a fun time creating their own flavors from scratch. The toppings are ALL there (and not missing my faves like mochi and cheesecake bites like some places), and the fruit toppings are always fresh. The price is also right.
In addition, the seating is awesome. Can we say, Hello, leather couches? What other froyo place has leather seating? Right. None. There's also good reggae playing, and a mural of a tropical landscape behind the counter gives one the impression that they have literally gone to Hawaii and can say, Aloha!
Oh, and for all you non-dairy eaters, this place has at least one non-dairy flavor at all times (and it changes every few weeks), so don't worry that you won't find something for yourself cuz you will. Be sure to grab a punch card, and if you're a newbie to this place, text the number located near the register to get 20% off right then and there and to continue getting discounts via text! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! -
Review from Xurri R.

I'm so very happy with this place. It had around 10 selections to choose from, 2+ no added sugar options, and great toppings as are to be expected (fresh raspberries which i know that Yogurtland doesn't carry). Any place that has red velvet flavor wins immediate points from me :).
They have comfy leather couches inside and tables outside. Its a quaint and independent Hawaiian feel. The cashier cleaned the dispensers 3 times while we were there 20 minutes. Fruit toppings were fresh and my friend loved their Strawberry flavor. Price was great and I'm all about independent business. It gives me a new option since i feel like Yorgurtland carries the same flavors every location and there isn't much variation. -

I saw this place open then forgot that it was there until cruising the Mill Towne Center to Solo Cafe. After trying the fro yo here, I am sorry I didn't go the first day it opened!
Positives: Very clean, friendly staff, delicious flavors, fresh toppings, reasonable prices, comfortable atmosphere for sitting inside or outside. Perfect number of choices -- any more yogurt choices would make it difficult to decide. The punch card and double punch Tuesday is a plus.
Negatives: NONE! Well, one. They should be doing more marketing to the local neighborhoods since it was quiet when we went in.
Can't wait to go back...tomorrow! -

The newest in a line of fro-yo shops around Tempe, Aloha Yogurt offers a decent enough experience to compete with some of the more popular places.
The offer a variety of yogurt to choose from and the girl working there gave us a few sample cups to try stuff out. One quality that stood out was that their flavors actually tasted like their flavors. The snickerdoodle tasted like snicherdoodle, the chocolate malt tasted like malt.( the snozberries tasted like snozberries!) At some of the other yogurt places (Yogurtland) all the flavors taste the same.
They offer pretty much the same toppings as most other places, maybe a few less. Less sauces for sure - only chocolate and caramel. But I got my mochi and cheesecake so I was satisfied.
They completely missed the mark on the style of the shop however. The really bad mural on the wall does nothing for them. And they don't have tables but instead a couple couches. So if you're looking at atmosphere in your yogurt-going adventures you won't find it here. But if you're just looking for a cup of yogurt in your neighborhood (and you live around there) Aloha Yogurt is a good option. -

The yogurt selection is good, and the topping selection is average compared other yogurt places, but I am NEVER going back there because of their idiotic coupon policies.
My family and I were frequent guests of Aloha yogurt for a month or two, but my last 2 visits there turned me off forever.
The first time I went in because I had a buy one get one free coupon. After I got to the register he pointed out that it was expired. Assuming since they print these same coupons every week, and we were frequent customer's, he would honor the coupon anyways, since I only came there because of the coupon. But he refused. I was upset, but paid. After all, it WAS expired, so while I didn't appreciate it, it was not the end of the world.
The next time I went in there with myself, my wife, 3 kids, and my parents. We came with 2 filled out stamp cards, and 2 non-expired buy one get one free coupons. When we got the register, the cashier announced that we were only allowed one coupon PER GROUP. The coupons clearly said on per person, but they decided to switch things up on us at the register. He would only let us use one of the stamp cards for our group of 7.
Needless to say that is just TERRIBLE customer service. I have been the general manager of a restaurant before, and I couldn't image doing that to frequent customers. So we have found a new yogurt place, and will never go back again. -

This is my favorite frozen yogurt place. I like that their selection of fruits are always fresh. They're always changing a few flavors around so you don't ever get bored. I'm always excited to see what new flavors there are. The employees are always nice and I like that they are opened late. I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for frozen yogurt!

Place is super clean and great customer service!! I think the guys who serve it are the owners because they do a great job at representing the place. The yogurt is good but the toppings are even better. By this I mean the fruit is always fresh and I'm pretty sure the use name brand candies because it tastes better then generic stuff.

We were on our way home from brunch when we spotted tons of girls mingling below the sign, Aloha Yogurt. We've been craving Pinkberry for the longest time so we decided to give it a try.
First of all, the shop...it's a little dated and not so pleasant. The space is tiny with no decorations of any sort. It is a usual self-serve yogurt place with typical flavors to choose from. We tried few flavors and most were just ok but I kinda liked the cappuccino flavor.
When we went in, the toppings were all gone since the girls we saw outside came in all at once. Apparently, it was a varsity team of some sort with their coach stopping by for a treat. We felt sorry for the girl at the register since it was obvious that she was totally overwhelmed.
*Yogurt = ok at best
*Service = not so good when we went in but it was totally understandable. She seemed very nice otherwise.
*Price = cheap...very :)
*Location = I think they need to put up a more visible sign outside since we definitely would have missed it if it weren't for those girls. -

You know those little, hidden treasures that you find that are so close to where you work or live? They make you both super excited and a little bit nervous because you know that they are going to test your ever wavering will power on a daily basis. Well, Aloha Yogurt is that for me. For months now I have been passing by the store front on my way the Big Fat Greek Express anticipating their opening, and finally it has arrived. Monday was their first official day open, but I wanted to give them a couple of days to get acclimated before I went in being all judgmental and stuff.
Overall facts of Aloha Yogurt....locally owned and operated, open 7 days a week from 11a to 11p, make and take set up, offer 12 rotating flavor options and over 40 toppings, kid friendly, indoor and outdoor seating, and you pay by the ounce.
Although there are indeed 12 flavors to choose from, on this visit I only tested 4, and all of them were ubber yummy. They offer the classics, the tarts, a couple low fat varieties, sorbets and customized flavors that include oatmeal cookie, cake batter, chocolate milkshake, and my absolute favorite krumb cake. Soooo good that I am already planning the menu for my next visit! This time I went with the oatmeal cookie, peanut butter swirl with captain crunch, mini Reeses pieces, and fudge sauce. It was ridiculously yummy, and definitely left me wanting more.
I think next time, actually I know next time I will go for the crumb cake with cinnamon toast crunch and blueberries (hint, hint...If you are reading this Whit, just drop it off at Loveland Tuesday through Thursday between 10a and 7p, thanks). Yum! The only bad thing about locally owned, owner operated shops is that you can't sneak in twice in one day and hope that you will have someone else working that won't recognize you. I guess I will have to wait for another day, but I will definitely be going back again and again! -

we FINALLY got around to trying this place. took ages, considering it's right down the road from us, LOL.
anyway, it was super empty(and it always looks super empty), considering what an amazing premise they operate by:
the wall is lined with around 10 froyo machines. you choose the size you want, you fill it as much as you want, and then you move on to the toppings bar, where you top your frozen delight with whatever you want(from fresh fruit, to candies, to sauces, granolas, sprinkles, etc etc etc), and as much as you want.
after that, your cup is weighed and it's time to enjoy!
simple and delightful :D
my only qualm is that they only have 1 non-dairy flavor per week, and they only have 4 non-dairy flavors, total.
(I had Mango Tango sorbet topped with: fresh strawberries, crushed graham crackers, carob chips, mini gummy bears, rainbow sprinkles, and granola--NOMZ! Jamie had chocolate froyo, mixed with mocha, topped with Ghirardelli caramel sauce, chocolate chips, and chocolate sprinkles.)
we'll be heading back here for Double-Punch Tuesday(2 punches per froyo/sorbet, on your 10-punch card), so I can try their Pomegranate Raspberry sorbet :p -

great flavors to choose from. they had red velvet that actually tasted like red velvet and oatmeal raisin which was very nice and light in flavor. lots of great toppings as expected. i love that theres a little area outside to sit surrounded by tiki torches. it would have been nice if they offered more tropical flavors but overall very satisfying. i'll be back.
