Very good tart yogurt! Really, the only reason I don't stop here much is that I want frozen yogurt most while I'm in the middle of work, and I don't work near Blush. If you do, you sure lucked out when they opened.

The toppings and yogurt are both very good. When I've been here, the service was just okay, but I don't blame them -- it can be a pretty deserted area during off-peak hours. I bet they would have been busier during Giants season. Similarly, the decor is fine but the emptiness is kind of depressing.

I'd definitely give it a try if you're in the neighborhood, but don't make a special trip just for it.

I "Blush" when I found out the local fro-yo chain has arrived to San Francisco.

I "Blush" when I found out the newest fro-yo shop in Mission Bay was serving the seasonal Pumpkin flavor.

For $5.50, I got that featured flavor in a medium bowl with the chewy Mochi Balls and chopped Marshmallows cakes as my pair of toppings. Blush's version is a bit more tart and flavorful than some of the other shops I've had. Blush's version is also good enough to make me "Blush".

I was enjoying my treat while watching a concert of Earth, Wind and Fire on one of the shop's high-defintion flat-screen TV and watching an NBA game on the other. My enjoyable moment forced me to "Blush".

I'll be "Blush(ing)" my way  back and try the other five flavors including the Strawberry-Kiwi, in which I eyeballed and sampled.  

(It'll be a "sight for sore eyes" when you see my cheeks "Blush")

Wow...possibly the best fro-yo I've ever had!

Unique flavors, good choices of toppings, plus freshly shaved chocolate!

Got the blush, with oreo cookies, but the cookies were soggy and gross. So I brought it back to the counter, the girl dumped the whole tin immediately, and got fresh ones out from the back. Good service!

The asian dude needs to smile! He has this shit face that kept me from coming in for a while. Once I passed by, right when he was opening the shop, I politely asked him whether they are open, he didn't even look at me, just shook his head. When I finally went in, he still had his not so friendly face on. Smile!

This is an overdue review but I was so excited at the time to finally try Blush froyo! I made the trek out there by taking the Muni from my work during my lunch hour and it pretty much took up the whole hour roundtrip. haha It was totally worth it though!

While standing in line I noticed a giant block of Ghirardelli chocolate that they actual shaved into froyo as a topping...pretty crazy! (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) I ordered a small kiwi strawberry with mochi and blueberries ($5.50) but it came with more froyo than toppings which could be a good or bad thing. I think I prefer a more even ratio of froyo and toppings. (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) This flavor was a mix of sweet and tart...a little more on the icy side but still creamy enough for me. I also sampled the mango one...EXTREMELY thick and creamy to the point that it was hard to scoop up but had a bold mango flavor which I loved. Kinda weird how the textures were so different!

The blueberries weren't the best and were small/sour but at least the mochi was yummy with bigger pieces that didn't harden in the froyo. Service was fast and friendly and of course I picked up a frequent buyer card (buy 8, get a small 2 topping yogurt)...sweet deal!

This frozen yogurt is VERY overpriced.

For a small serving of one flavor only, with one topping only, the total was nearly $5 ($4.50 plus tax). One flavor, size small, one topping, $5. Really???

Instead of allowing the customer to choose multiple flavors and toppings and pricing the frozen yogurt by weight, they charge a flat rate for each flavor and topping. The result is a RIP-OFF for the customer. The frozen yogurt is pretty good, but not so much to justify it being more expensive than any other frozen yogurt spot in the city.

Clearly this is not self-serve frozen yogurt. Self-serve can be a better deal than pre-sized servings; actually, I'd like to discover the weight of the Blush size small frozen yogurt to compare it to self-serve frozen yogurt bars. Nonetheless, THIS place charges too much for a small, one-topping, single-flavor frozen yogurt

Lame.

Yeah this place is pretty much the bomb right now.

When I was a little kid and I went to Yosemite every summer I always did the trail that lead through Vernal Falls up through Nevada Falls and then turned back down. I would always remember blazing back down the trail just to hit the frozen yogurt shack that was right at the bottom of vernal falls. If you've ever done this in the mid 90s you know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, flash forward to about 3 months ago and I started running for sport along the embarcadero, and one day returning back to my apartment I see a shiny new yogurt shop, which I was saying to myself finally a damn yogurt/ice cream shop. I was kinda wondering why ice cream shops or some other company didn't get their act together on this great marketing idea. It's great because the weather particularly in this exact area of San Francisco is 10 degrees warmer than in any other place in the city. check it out and you'll see I ain't lyin.

Basically the offerings are really nothing different from the all the other millions of yogurt restaurants that have cropped up in the past year due to the explosion of popularity of this phenomenon in asia. the idea has been helping jamba juice for a solid decade as well.

What I like about this place are the to humongous plasma screens the owner decided to endow this place with. And the homies behind the counter are always putting it on the right stuff, like NBA Basketball and ESPN, or maybe some BET 106 and park. They definitely understood the appeal of making this a hangout place where neighborhood peeps can chill or scope the honeys that should be coming through here.

My two constructive crits were just that why can't they get some lychee toppings up in there and also, can they at least take the prices down about 50cents down after about 8 months. I know the rent is mad high, but like the things are more expensive than a jamba juice medium. sized.

OMG, SOOO good!! I'm sad there's only one location in the city.

Perfect creamy consistency, just the right amount of tart, and not too sweet. The employees are super nice, and they give you a massive amount of fro yo and toppings. If only it were more conveniently located for me, I'd be a daily regular.

I'm so happy Blush took over for that ice cream place that was there before.  I absolutely love their Original flavor.  Just that slight tangy taste that makes it sooo refreshing on a hot day.  I like it with the chopped up Kit-Kat bars.  :)

Really cute store, but what's up with the ocean expedition videos in the background?  Three flat screens on the walls.  One showing the deep blue, the other showing news, and then pop music.  Very visually confusing.  Ah well, the fro yo is delish - so that's what matters.  I hope they do well and will stay.

My favorite yogurt ever is Fraiche. The husband and I eat it at least three times a week and I compare every  yogurt shop that I visit to Fraiche standards (difficult standards to live up to). Unfortunately, Fraiche is a long trek from our home in SOMA, so I can't always have my fix when I want it.

If Fraiche is five stars, Blush is not quite five, but almost there. I'm very happy with the quality of yogurt they serve here. The yogurt is perfectly tart and they have a large variety of fresh toppings. I'm not a fan of flavored yogurt because it's usually too sweet for me, but the blueberry yogurt here is absolutely delicious.

The best part about Blush is the customer service. The staff are so attentive, always offering us water or napkins with a smile. The space is clean and bright and the yogurt is reasonably priced (unlike Fraiche which is draining my 401K). Oh, and Blush has loyalty cards. Buy 8 get one free. Awesome!

Blush SF is an absolute delight to visit. I live in Dublin and have had the luxury of visiting Blush Dublin on a weekly basis. The trip to the SF Blush was a special treat because of the 6 special flavors, fabulous store design, sustainable materials used for the interior decorations and furniture, and iPod docking station. The high-def televisions pipe in live music, sports, and other special events.

While Blush's organic frozen yogurt and delish toppings are enough to keep me coming back, the SF Blush store is special because of the service. The associates tend to every detail and ensure that customers receive prompt service. Blush SF's location is also ideal for watching the SOMA street scene unfold from the comfort of one of the many window seats.

Blush SF is the perfect way to treat family and friends to a special treat after a meal, work, or an event at AT&T Park.

I'm making the move to give this place 4 stars, mainly b/c I have now probably tried all of their flavors, and they do mix them up, and the topping selection is great. Also, the staff is super friendly and always has great suggestions if your brain is already frozen at the array of choices. My original comment that it is somewhat grainy and more favoring the fruit side of things still stands, but they do a good job of what they've chosen to go with.

It still bugs me they don't have a large menu on the wall though, and I'm holding strong on my comment that they should switch out one of the flat screens for a menu. It just makes sense, since you don't know toppings or flavors until you get to the front of the line, and that can cause a delay when it gets busy. They could even have topping/flavor suggestions on the menu screen (think "Today I recommend...")

Favs: blueberry acai and blush (not together). Also try the moci things- chewy little gummy things that are actually really, really good on the froyo, go figure. Not really feeling the new pumpkin flavor even though I love all things pumpkin, but I appreciate the variety!

What this all boils down to is me spending more money at this place. Damn.

No dragonfruit flavored Yogurt but I'm still in love with the Original flavor.  I had pomegranate topping this time and it tastes REALLY good.

Spacious cushioned seats with two large flat screen tv (one screen playing football, the other screen playing Beyonce's music videos).

There is a docking station for to charge/listen to your iPhone too.

I kind of don't understand why the flavored froyo is more expensive than the original tart.  I mean, at ice cream shops, vanilla and chocolate aren't cheaper than, say, butter pecan.

Needless to say, the Blush flavor is amazing.  Fruity but not too sweet, it was perfect with my mochi toppings.  The girls were nice and gave us 3 samples each (the acai-blueberry, which literally tasted like blueberry Yoplait yogurt, but just ..frozen) and waited while we decided on our yummy toppings.

There are like 20 froyo shops within a square mile of where I live, but this one definitely is the cleanest so far!

I LOVE the fact that this place is a walk right across the street from the ball park entrance!  I was anticipating a crowd at Blush right before the Giants game that day, but surprisingly there was no one (Yay, for me!). It was really hot and stuffy inside the store though and the fro-yo samples that were given to me were pretty runny too. Other than the samples, the consistency fro-yo that I ordered was good.

- Pineapple tart: Finally tried it. Not a fan of pineapple, but it was refreshing and good.
- Acai Blueberry: Tart and refreshing, love it. I think this one is my new fave aside from their signature Blush flavor.
- Kiwi Strawberry: This flavor reminds me of Capri Sun. It's sweeter than the other flavors, but I still like it.

Decor is cute with ample seating here and there. They have flat screen TVs that were on sports channels (score for those of you that want to watch what you are missing next door at ATT park, while you enjoy your fro-yo!).

P.S. There was even a big block of Ghirardelli chocolate for a shaved chocolate topping option!

The best!  
Love the interior, the staff and location!  And of course the yogurt!
Love the Original flavor - it's a little tart and tastes like true yogurt and does not pretend to be a "light ice cream" substitute as some other yogurt places do.
We will be back again and again!

When I hear the term "organic" I think back to childhood.  Sure, my family was too redneck republican to be considered "hippie" and I was born in a hospital, which isn't as exciting or hippie-ish as being birthed under a redwood tree, but I'd rather be labeled  "former hippie" than "white trash ex-patriot" any day.

So, even though my school clothes weren't made from hemp and my parents let me wear underwear to bed, I still prefer to shop organic.

When I saw "free organic froyo on Friday" posted on Yelp, wild horses couldn't keep me away -- Organic AND cheap?!  Yowza!   So we stopped by for the soft opening last Friday and...........Not bad.

Perks:
1) Great location near Ballpark, Cal-Train, South Beach Apartments, etc.
2) Blush flavor, pomegranate/dragonfruit combo is delicious
3) Flat screen tvs mounted on the wall show concerts while you wait

unPerks:
1) Girl serving the toppings was very petite and couldn't hear over the germ-barrier... They should take pity on her and assign her a yogurt-swirling or cashier position, instead.
2) My toppings looked berry unhappy
3) Mariah Carey was on tv.  I always throw up a little when I look at her.

Overall, I'm excited to come back and see how this place develops.

Here I am, stuck at my desk at work. It's a super warm (we are after all entering in to our fabulous Indian Summer) Friday afternoon with little to no desire to do anything productive. What is a girl to do?!

Go for a deliscious cup of organic frozen yogurt of course!! Enter: Blush.

Blush is a trendy, super clean establishment that's well laid out. There are plenty of seats outside to enjoy your Froyo or perhaps you prefer to eat your Froyo inside while fixing your eyes on one of the two 50" Flat Screen TV's on the wall.

This is a pretty straight forward Frozen Yogurt shop with about 5-6 different flavors (all organic), 10-15 different toppings ranging from fresh fruit to brownie bites to mixed nuts for a pretty reasonable price. ($5.85 for a small acacia blueberry with 2 toppings).

There's nothing extraordinary about this place but it's close to work, it's consistent, and I get in and out of there fast.

I am craving this like every single day. The other day, drove out here around 930pm, and realized it only takes me 7 minutes to get there from my house! whoo! Park across the street, and got my yogurt fix.

I enjoy having the original and blush swirled together, with the ghirardelli chocolate shavings (OMG, I AM ADDICTED TO THIS), with my mochi and strawberry. YUM YUM YUM

I also got to try out their new flavor, guava which was really unique. Never had guava yogurt before.

Kiwi strawberry is good too, very refreshing and perfect for a hot day.

I also like the fact they had a big grand opening and I won a prize :)

They have great fresh fruit toppings and OK candy toppings. I wish they had cookie dough topping.

Really great service. Friendly people, nice decor. Yup, I'm a fan.

Fro-yo girl here. The Blush soft opening is tomorrow, 9/4!  Enjoy a free small fro-yo with your choice of 2 toppings from 12 - 5 PM.  FREE FRO-YO!  I went today (they didn't have any toppings yet) for a sneak peek.

What's new w/ Blush SF?  Room for three fro-yo machines and more toppings too.  The flavors are:

* Original: a perfect original tart, with real yogurt flavor
* Blush (pomegranate-dragonfruit): a unique flavor, like no other, one of their most popular, I've fallen in love with it
* Mango: sweeter, lots of mango flavor
* Pineapple: so zingy and refreshing, ask for a colorful paper umbrella!
* Kiwi strawberry: the lightest and sweetest
* Acai blueberry: addictive, my favorite blueberry fro-yo of them all

The menu is the same as Blush Dublin: parfaits, shaved ice, fro-yo by the cup, and Blush Blends (smoothies).  New toppings to look out for include madeleines, malt balls, pecans and SHAVED chocolate. The chocolate is shaved there (you can watch it).

The decor is beautiful and organic.  It's not a large space but the attention to detail is rare for fro-yo.  The gorgeous icy looking chairs are from Italy, the tabletops are thick recycled glass, the light fixtures are delicate globes, the walls are stenciled with butterflies and flowers and the Blush logo is projected through a bubble glass pane.  And there are huge flatscreen TVs that will show Giants games (and other things), an iPod docking station, outdoor seating, so on.  

The excitement continues on Saturday, Sept. 5, when Blush celebrates its grand opening.  Doors open at noon.  They'll be giving away many prizes throughout the day.  The first 100 people get movie passes from the Metreon.

Prizes: Tons of Apple including from iPhones, iTouch, Nanos, Shuffles, iTunes gift cards.  Sony Blu Ray players and PSPs.  For sports fans, win Warriors and 49ers tickets.

Safeway across the street offers free validated parking (with purchase) and it's just a few minutes from the 4th & King Caltrain station...right by AT&T Park.  

Your Blush gift cards and frequent buyer cards work at all Blush locations.

Congrats Frank, Paul, Julia, Jonathan and BLUSH!

You know you love me.  X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Location-wise: awesome...it's nice to have a frozen yogurt place so close to AT & T Park, not to mention the rest of that King St. area.

Interior: classy looking and hip at the same time. Gotta love that nice flatscreen TV in there.

The goods: their flavors are pretty good. I just couldn't say no to that kiwi strawberry flavor they had. They've also got a nice variety of toppings...it seriously took me a couple of minutes just to narrow it down to just 3.

Service: I was in and out of there in about 5-7 minutes. There was no line on the day I went there (it was about 345 in the afternoon on a Wednesday), and the guy working the counter acknowledged me as soon as I walked up.

I definitely plan on making a return trip (or two...or three) to Blush.

Came here on opening weekend where they were having drawings for prizes every hour....sadly I didn't win. :(

They had about 4 different types of froyo flavors to choose from - Original, Pineapple, Blueberry and Strawberry-Kiwi if I remember correctly. A small strawberry was $3.50 with no toppings. I believe toppings are $1.00 each.  Sorta pricey in my book but I guess they need to make rent...

Strawberry was delicious! They also have a frequent buyer card as well, so remember to pick that up and you can get a free small after 8 purchases. I will come back when I'm in the neighborhood.

Sounds like some people are pretty bitter about the results of the raffle. Personally, I think this was a pretty smart raffle and a really good marketing technique to get their name out there. And what do you expect? First 100 people for free tickets, duh you have to buy fro-yo. Anyway, good prizes all around. Sure the free t-shirt, fro-yo gift card were random, but deal. You won something and luck obviously wasn't on your side when you picked the ping pong.

So we came here with the raffle in mind and the Warriors Courtside seats on our eye. We just missed the 2 o'clock raffle and saw an ungrateful winner pick the Warriors Ticket Ping Pong - OUCH!... so we thought our chance of a good prize was gone.

We got our first round of Fro-yo and I got the original with shaved Ghiradelli chocolate. The consistency overall is very good. Just the right amount of tart and creamy texture and their workers definitely pack it in. It was quite filling.

3 pm rolls around and with my bf and my other friend with me, we had 3 shots of winning - and lo and behold, the boyfriend wins! -People won good prizes that round...and we thought the 49ers and Warriors tickets were gone, not knowing the owner generously gave 2 pairs each.. so just our luck, he pulled out the ping pong that said "49ers". Sweet!

After each hour, they tossed the raffle tickets and we had to re-enter by buying another fro-yo. My second round, I got pineapple and I really found this refreshing. We didn't win at 4pm, but a couple next to us who just strolled by and got froyo and was surprised about the raffle ended up winning an iTouch! such a pleasant surprise for them - so i'm glad they won.

Anyway - long story short - the Fro-Yo is tasty and largely portioned - enough to be a meal. Location is awesome especially for all the people living in the area, plus the traffic they'll get from baseball games. We go to lots of games, so we will probably head here before or after for a sweet treat.

I was confused though because the first time I bought fro-yo it was $7.50 flat, but the 2nd time around I was charged tax. Random but whatevs. Supposedly they're opening another location in Burlingame right down the block from my hood...if they have another grand opening event with sweet prizes, I'm definitely there and you can count me in as a regular.

3 stars for the yogurt
4 stars for the decore
5 stars for the location (i'm biased b/c i live nearby).  
In the grand scheme of tart / organic / "real" frozen yogurt, I'd say this is middle of the road.  I think Red Mango is way better, and that place in the Westfield cefiore is worse.  It's unfortunately not cheap and a medium original with 2 toppings runs about $5.50.  Worth a try if you're nearby.

I would walk by everyday before going to work and I would be soo amped. Froyo thats only minutes away from where I live. YES!

I agree with Kristen L. -great addition to the neighborhood!

I was hoping their would be a larger variety of flavors. I do like the blush flavor though. The toppings are delicious and the price is very reasonable.

I really like this place. One, it's close which is convenient but also BAD because I go way more than I otherwise would. Second, everyone that works there is super nice. They let you sample as many flavors as you would like and they aren't all cheap and rude about it. Third, they have a great selection of toppings. Forth, their natural flavor is one of my favorites and their fruit flavors are actually quite good. And last, they bring you out water when you are just sitting there :)
Only complaints - it can be a little pricey and parking is a pain. meaning if I'm not within walking distance, I'm probably not going.  I also wish Chocolate wasn't a seasonal flavor and was always on the menu.

Ever the sucker for a new froyo spot, I was especially intrigued by the opening of Blush and their first day giveaway. The line wasn't too bad, and as far as giveaways go, this one was very, very generous. This was no sample, but a small size with two toppings. Loved my mix of blush (a dragon fruit and pomegranate combo) and acai blueberry yogurts, generously topped with strawberries and (more) blueberries.

Zero complaints on the taste and organic positioning, though not sure if it was worth the $5 I would have been charged had it not been the opening special.

Tipping their generosity was an easy decision.

Not so easy - deciding if the Mariah Carey In Concert video they were playing on the plasma screens helped or hurt their rating. Can't decide if I liked how it reinforced my disdain for pop music, or if I did not like how I had no choice but to watch. I'll call this one a draw.

Go for the froyo. Bring an MP3 player.

There are soooo many Froyo stores now and I really cant taste the difference.  Today is HOT, so I walked over to Blush to try it out.  I usually get the same at every store...original froyo with Strawberries and fruity pebbles.  =) $4.25 ( hmmm is that expensive??)

I'm glad they are close by to me so I can just walk over when Im in the mood for some froyo.  

There was a long line bc for some reason their cashier was really really slow or it could had been that their system was down.  I was not sure and the cashier didnt offer any clarification.

Taste is great, store is cute, service was ok!

Finally a frozen yogurt place near the ballpark! Now I don't have to drive/bus it to various parts of the city to satisfy my craving.  They have a few flavors here, the "blush" flavor is dragonfruit and pomegranate (?) I think, either way, it's pretty good!  

The staff is very generous on toppings and yogurt and aren't afraid to overfill it.  We asked for 3 toppings, but they on so much of the first two, that they actually put the last topping in a separate container for us!  A lil messy, but hey, at least they're not being stingy like some other yogurt places that will remain unnamed. o_O The workers even came and gave us glasses  of water without even being asked. It was a nice gesture, especially when they aren't expecting tips.

I give this place 5 stars for the yogurt and 5 stars for the service!

Waking Up in Blush by Jon F.

(In the tune of Waking Up in Vegas by Katy Perry)

You gotta help me out
I went to Nubi at Lakeshore Plaza
We need a taxi
'Cause I'm surrounded by smoking high school FOBS

My good friend Valerie
Suggested BLUSH to mee-eeEee-e
She said right near "AT&T"
Then a guy gave her a dirty look
and then hawked a luggie..

We went to the Nubi worker and cashed out
And got out of that store,
We weren't babies
and went North on 280...

Shut up and place our money where our mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Blush Frozen Yogurt
Get up and shake the toppings off the Acai Blueberry
That's what you get for waking up in Blush Frozen Yogurt

Why are these lights so bright?
Why are the workers so niiiiiii-ii-ce?
Oh look they have shaved ice..
Why do they have a huge chocolate square?

We had Blush, Blueberry, and Original flavor
They look like they were partners in crime
They dressed it up with toppings ..
"How much is this thing?"

(chorus)

$5.00 got me a small..
but it looked like a frozen yogurt overload
Situation lost control
We sent out our compliments

Ha and we gave our cash out
We teared up the yogurt down
I'm glad we weren't babies
and remember what my friend told me...

Remember what my friend told me...
And won't go to fobbed up Nubi..
Told me, with no luggie, oh yeah..

(chorus)

That's what you get at Blush, baby
Shake the toppings,
Shake, shake shake the toppings..
Gimmie some cash out, baby
Gimme some cash out, baby

Curse this opening. Love froyo, hate that it's so conveniently located across the street and I no longer have to trek to the Marina, N Beach or Union Sq to get it.  How does this help my diet restrictions?  P.I.T.A. locations used to be my savior, now that safety net is gone. The orig and blueberry flavors are the ways to go, deeeelish!  Skip the brownie bits, those were odd crystalline bleck, not worth the kcals.  Staff is super friendly & they love doggies, too, so small cup for me, taster cup for the pup, everybody wins.

Uh, at least it's organic... so I got that goin' for me.

We live in SOMA and have been looking forward to Blush opening all summer- there was signs throughout the construction that it would be open in July. When the sign came up that there would be a grand opening on the 5th, I was (sadly) looking forward to it. I LOVE frozen yogurt and the thought of it being just downstairs from our apartment was exciting :)

I was walking home from work yesterday and I saw a huge line up outside Blush- they opened a day earlier! We went to check it out and they were giving away free yogurt.. we got the Blush flavor which is a dragon fruit + pomegranate which was good, but nothing TOO special.. The staff all seemed a little slow, I am not sure if this was because they all just started working but there was so many people working and it was incredibly inefficient.. Nonetheless, a great gesture on management's part to give yogurt away to the community.

We stopped by again today to see what was going on for the grand opening.. they apparently were giving away a lot of prizes but as the other reviews stated, you had to be present to accept prizes. I tried the original yogurt today with mangoes- again good but nothing special. I also thought it was a bit expensive.. came up to over 4$ for a small yogurt with one topping.

The owner saw my review and sent my wife and I a coupon for two free small yogurts.

This place has very good frozen yogurt and a wide selecting of topping choices. Additionally, the two large TV's make it easy for me to convince my husband to join me for a frozen yogurt treat. The price does seem to add up fast, but hey, its good stuff.

Good frozen yogurt with lots of options for toppings...not much more to it.

The interior is very modern and a little bit weird, but separates it from the "ice cream shop" look.

I wish people would rate the quality and consistency of the food/service not some one time raffle.  I live in front of the place that just opened and checked it out today.  I saw that they had a bunch of new hires that were going through training.  

I ordered the Blush flavor which was good but not amazing, with two toppings.  $5.  Pretty standard fare for SF.  I enjoyed the yogurt and liked how clean and well lit the interior was.  I'll be coming back here often.

After a long day at Jury Duty, I met up with a friend to have a "healthy" snack before dinner. I've never heard of Blush before but my friend worked across the street from them so we gave it a shot.  I got to sample the original tart, pumpkin pie, and their signature favor Blush. The pumpkin pie was so good. I would love to take a gallon home and have it a la mode with my warm Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. The combination of the warm pie and light/refreshing yogurt would be great together!  Since this was my first time there, I had to go with a swirled of the original tart and signature blush. The original tart was very tart, which I love! A few froyo places make them too sweet and not enough tartness. I've been craving that tart favor for days and wasn't satisfied with the others. But Blush has it! Blush yogurt has enough sweet and tartness to it and it was frozen just right. I got to the bottom and it wasn't runny at all. The blush favor was pretty good as well but I think I like the original better bc of the tartness. The staff were very friendly. After a few bites I realized that they missed my request for almonds, so I went back to the counter to ask for some and they didn't make a big deal of it and threw some in for free. I love the green décor, it was bright and upbeat.  

The only complain I would have is the serving of the yogurt. There wasn't enough! I know  I ordered a small, but come on! For $5.50, I should get a little bit more than that!

I'm coming back for the pumpkin pie. And I think I just read in someone's review that there was Guava! How did I miss that? I'm definitely coming back for more! Oh! And they have a stamp card! For every 8, you get a free small with two toppings! More awesomeness! :)
