I would happily eat a bucketful of their plain tart with no toppings. I really like tarty frozen yogurt, and this place does it nicely. Even when I feel like trying other flavors, they don't disappoint. I really like the yogurt. And so many toppings wowowowow. But I tend to go minimalistic and just do with plain tart + strawberries and mochi though heheheheh, so delicious.
I also love their hot drinks, voila, the lemon-honey tea is so delicious!!! It has a small amount of pulp of lemon too!
Love their pretzel looking sticks.... Pocky's!

Sometimes a song says it best:
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me
And never say good-bye?
Fro-ggie I can't sleep at night without eating your froyo delight
Fro-ggie, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh I'd rather be dead
Spinnin' around and around
Although we've come to the end of the road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the end of the road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Goodbye Fro-ggie, we hardly knew ye.Listed in: Best of the Bay, Fremont's Finest, Songs

Ordered the lychee and original tart. Absolutely delicious and a great way to kill this 90+ degree weather. I also sampled island banana today. Not a fan of the banana. It wasn't that artificial tasting, anything that isn't a banana that tastes like banana freaks me out.
Oh and I noticed that there is a $5 minimum charge for plastic. Sadness.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a small business strive to provide you with the best. Fro-ggie makes me really happy.
I remember when the place first opened. Fro-ggie has only gotten progressively better since then.
This place is not self serve, but they pile on frozen yogurt. Even a small makes me feel full. If you ask, you can have two flavors in your cup instead of just one, but you have to ask.
This place rotates their flavors. I love their chocolate, but I love their red velvet even more. They normally have 4-5 flavors at a time, but the quality of the yogurt is great. There will be a flavor that you like, and you can always ask to try a flavor if you feel unsure about it!
Unlike YoSwirl, the yogurt is still intact by the time you sit down and eat half of the yogurt. Plus, this place is very family friendly with good music, a colorful environment, board games, and kid size fro-yo.
The only drawback about Fro-ggie is that it is small, and not open as late as other froyo places. If I had to choose between Fro-ggie and YoSwirl at night, I'd pick Fro-ggie but it's not open late :(
There are normally enough chairs for people to sit at, but if the line is long, the place can feel very crowded. There are some outdoor chairs too though!
Also, it is close to schools, so you will find a lot of teens sitting around eating froyo after school or after dinner. But, this place is very family friendly with good music, a colorful environment, board games, and kid size fro-yo.
Their happy hour is a really good deal too. If you come here for happy hour, you've officially won yourself the cheapest frozen yogurt money can buy in the area.
Oh, and there's free wi-fi.
And a stamp card. If you come here enough, you can definitely earn yourself a free yogurt. -

Fro-ggie is not self-serve, has 5 rotating flavors. and plenty of toppings. I did appreciate the choice of having your flavors "halved" or "swirled" - and the extra biscuit stick (oh the little things that make me happy...) With $.75/ topping....definitely motivates me to stick to plain yogurt and save some extra calories
I'm savoring the pomegranate and original tart froyo from fro-ggies as i write this. The flavors are tarty but not so much it makes you put on fishy-faces. Very creamy and not too icey like some froyo places. Froggies is conveniently two minutes from my house and with happy hour $1.25 I'm sure to visit again. -

I'm wavering between 3 and 4 stars....
The service was great and that gets me every time. I love hole in the wall stores that are not crowded but have established itself in the community for a long time! But the more fro-yo I try, the harder it is to woo me.
I had the green tea with strawberry and mochi. I couldn't really taste the green tea flavor at all and it was pretty creamy for one of the "tart" flavors. I tried their red velvet and chocolate and that was super creamy. A friend that was with me likes it that way so I guess to each their own! The mochi was pretty good but i do prefer the mochi at other places. Also, the fruit looked pretty fresh! Which is always a plus. The price isn't too bad, pretty standard for not self serve.
It's fun that they stick a pretz stick in everyone's yogurt it's like a cute little decoration.Listed in: Ice Ice Baby!

YUMMMMMMYYYY
Oh fro-ggie, your name is so cute, your froyo is so good, your decor is cute too, a good place to chillax :) WHY DID YOU NOT EXIST WHEN I WAS IN HS?
The yogurt consistency here is perfection! and the tart flavors are just the right amount of sour. Fruit toppings are fresh and sweet! Pricing is good too, esp with their happy hour deal, how can you say no to Fro-ggie in the middle of a hot afternoon?
Pomegranate and plain tart are yummmm. I really want to try their green tea, but they never have it there when i go :(
I think you are my favorite froyo shop in freakmont!
Yay for stamp cards too! The wall of fans is very cute too!
Pretz stick is a cute addition too. Salty and sweet! Opposites are usually good compliments in food. And its hilarious cuz the stick always breaks when you try to use it as a dipperthingy
Oh, if you were self serve, i think i'd be a Fro-ggie addict and come every weekListed in: Froyo Fixings

Fro-ggie's original tart is on the creamier side rather than icy, which is my preference, so I liked it. They also have some unique toppings like honey balls and fresh pomegranate seeds. The place was also clean, and the yogurt portions are pretty hefty, with the smallest cup size being more than enough for me. Oh, and you get one free topping with any student ID... SCORE!
For tart froyo options on the Fremont side of town, I like Fro-ggie better over YoSwirl. If only Fro-ggie was self serve!Listed in: The Froyo Experiment

Review from Anna D.
I tried out the chocolate mochi today and it is just like regular mochi except with a chocolate powder. I couldn't really tell the difference, but if you want to try the chocolate mochi, you have to ask for it because it's not with the rest of the toppings.
I have uploaded a picture
And mochi is free till Sunday.
I didn't want to put a cap on the top of my yogurt because I didn't want to crush it, so I put it inbetween my legs while driving.
I don't recommend. It failed.Listed in: My Sweet Tooth List, Frogurt

Fro-yo girl here. This place has pretty good fro-yo and great customer service. They have four tart flavors a day and one sweet. I think the fruit and sweet flavors rotate but the others stay the same? I'm not sure but that's the sense I get. They had green tea, strawberry, soy, and plain tart flavors and chocolate (non-tart).
The soy tart fro-yo is sweeter and creamier than the icy plain tart. Both were tasty though I liked the soy better. The green tea and soy fro-yo flavors are 75 cents more expensive while the fruit tart is the same price as the plain tart. I had a small strawberry tart fro-yo ($2.50, 75 cents per topping) with mochi balls and blueberries. The strawberry tart had a pleasant flavor and a good balance between sweet vs. tart, as well as between icy vs. soft and creamy. It didn't taste like strawberries though. The blueberries were nice and plump.
A medium plain or fruit tart fro-yo is $3.50 and a large is $5.50, so the prices are comparable to other fro-yo shops. You get about the average amount in the cup, plus they add a long stick cookie (Pretz?). There wasn't a hole in the middle. They've created a nice place to hang out with free wi-fi, magazines, a/c, and water. It's bright and modern, like most fro-yo shops.
Cash only. Don't forget the bonus card. It's in Ohlone Village.

As I was sitting in my car recuperating from the strong cocktail I had for lunch, I was instantly alert when I saw this fro-yo place in the plaza.
Now I need to be sober on this serious fro-yo review.
The shop is located not far from Yogotastic (just up the hill to be exact). The shop offers five different nonfat flavors: Original, Vanilla-Bean, Pomegranate, Blueberry and Wild-berry. For $4.25 for a medium cup, I chose the Vanilla Bean and Blueberry as my split flavor. And for an additional $.75, I chose the sweet Lychee-Coconut Jelly as my lonely topping. The Vanilla Bean flavor was sweet and creamy, but the syrup of the coconut jelly made it much sweeter.
I'm glad I'm sober enough to enjoy my frozen treat.
Cash only for this little place.

As I was waiting for my 10 hour brisket to smoke on Superbowl Sunday, I thought to myself what can I do to kill time. I remember Flobot aka Florence W. telling me about this froyo spot in Fremont that I had to check out. So me and a couple friends took the journey to a part of Fremont that I never been to before, a real nice part that reminded me of Socal. I was loving all the palm trees and the nice houses in the area.
Once we got to Fro-ggie's which was way way in the cutts. We noticed no one was in there, so there was no waiting. I ordered a small original tart with blackberry's. Which I thought was pretty big for a small, it was 5 oz's. I really liked how they top off your cup of froyo with a spoon and a pocky stick. Something that other froyo spots don't do. And the pocky stick went real well with the froyo. Next time im going to see if they have just the pocky stick as a topping. The froyo itself was pretty good, real nice tart. Just a tad bit too sour for my taste, but it was still real good.
The service was great, and the decor was real nice. Felt real warm inside once you walked in. Next time im in the area im going to have to try out that new vanilla bean froyo. I always have to try the original tart when its my first time at a froyo joint.

HOLE IN THE MIDDLE! I got my frozen yogurt and as I was eating, I noticed that it's completely hollow in the middle. What a jip.
A small yogurt is $2.50. Each topping is $.75 but they do give you a lot. I got the original tart yogurt with almond roca topping. The two do not go well together. Although I am a die hard almond roca fan, it's just too much for the yogurt. I'll stick with fruity pebbles. The tart yogurt is of course not as good as Pinkberry's. But it's a good try; it's on the creamier side. They also stick a sweet Pretz stick in the yogurt that totally throws it off.
They have a punch card where you buy 9 and get the 10th one free. I don't know if I can make it to 10.Listed in: Yogurt

They started taking plastic. Bumped them an extra star. Plus I would have to say they are the tastiest of the tart frozen yogurt in the area. I didn't like Yoswirl but after trying Froggie, Yoswirl in hindsight was HORRIBLE!
BTW I love their buttery Poke-like cracker stick. It offsets the yogurt taste perfectly.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Tracy T.
San Francisco, CA

This place is nestled inbetween a dry cleaner, salon, and other shops that are not opened late. Unless you count the Quickie Mart further down, you can already guess how poppin' this place was when I visited last night. Other than an older couple that was there for Free Wi-fi with their laptop, there was no one. The employee behind the counter was probably jumping with joy from all the boredom, once we strolled in. The flavors that were available last night were Vanilla, Original Tart, Wildberry, Chocolate, and I didn't really pay attention to the last one. Most likely b/c it didn't involve anything with TART, because I was feeling particularly "tarty" yesterday.
Original: Melts rather quickly, but it is smooth not icy. Tart, but not overly tart.
Wildberry: I thought this one would be sweet, but it ended up being tart and I loved it. A little runny though.
I decided not to use my eyes to judge how much my stomach can intake, so I opted for a small half original/half wildberry with fresh blueberries. The smartest choice I have ever made rather than going with my gut instinct whenever I walked in fro-yo places (Get all the flavors and as many toppings as you can! ha!). Deep down inside I really wanted a Medium with 3 toppings. None of the toppings really stood out. I didn't see too many selections of toppings or fresh fruit (More so, not many that I wanted. No blackberries, no raspberries. They did have pom seeds though!).
P.S. They have music playing in the background. Something I never really noticed at fro-yo places, but only this time b/c we were the only ones there late and maxed out the time until it was closing time. They have stamp cards, they have a pitcher of water for you, free wi-fi, and they top your fro-yo with a Pretz stick (I wish it was strawberry flavored Pocky instead!!) ^-^Listed in: Fro-yo for froyoholics

Frozen Yogurt has finally hit Fremont.
Fro-ggie had its grand opening yesterday (March 15, 2008).
Much like the other pinkberry-inspired frozen yogurt places, Fro-ggie's interior is minimalist at best. There's about 3-5 small tables, and a bench lining one side of the wall.
They have regular, soy, fruit (blueberry), and green tea frozen yogurt varieties. The regular and fruit flavors are slightly less than the soy and green tea varieties.
For condiments, they have your typical choices: fresh fruit, cereal, nuts, granola, etc.
In a random stripmall in Fremont, I'm not sure how people will know/find this place... but if you're looking for your fix of frozen yogurt and you're in the area, you have a place now. -

"Fro-ggie's fro-ggie's!"
A couple of friends from church kept talking about this froyo place that was 2 minutes away that they've been filling up their stamp cards at. So after lunch, off we went!
This place is easy to miss if you're not looking for it specifically. It's in the plaza next the Quik Stop you see when you get off Washington Blvd off 680. Inside, it was colorful and fruity looking like most fro-yo places. The price for a regular with 3 toppings for $4.95 and $2.50 for a small +75 cents per topping. It's comparable to other places, but it didn't seem very worth it to me for some reason. Anyhow, I decided to get a small original tart with strawberries and mochi and they gave a good amount of toppings which I was happy about. BUT...
The original tart is not very tart and didn't make me Mmmmm. But it wasn't bad, just okay.
This isn't a "gotta-go-to" place, but for being in fremont, I'd come back if I was reallly craving some fro-yo and in these neck of the woods.

Review from Kevin C.
9/18/2008
It's not self-serve, which is good and bad. Good because there's no drippy mess all over the floor, no spilled toppings all over the counter, and no high school goobers exploiting "sample" cups. Also good because the employees are much more skilled at neatly arranging the toppings than I am... my self-serve cups always end up a mess, and I'm happy just to have stuff not spilling out.
Bad because I can't decide exactly how much of each flavor I want. Also bad because, as my friend pointed out, they're trained to leave the frozen yogurt swirl hollow. So it looks like you're getting more than you are (weight being a truer indicator of quantity).
There's kind of a dearth of flavor choices. My point of reference is Yogurtland, which offers 14 flavors. But the wildberry yogurt tasted good, so it worked out okay.
The mochi topping was good. Seemed fresh. I can't remember the second topping I picked. (This is why I need to review places right away!) Oh, it was honey balls (Japanese: hachimitsu boro), more commonly seen in small packets at Asian markets. Also seemed fresh and not stale. Only yogurt place I've been to that has these.
Bonus points because each frozen yogurt is served with a... uh... cookie stick. It's like a naked (chocolate-free) Pocky. Makes it kind of fun and unique.
Service was pretty good. Not overly friendly... but quick, attentive, and clearly skilled.
I wanted to say I think pricing is pretty competitive (comparable to Yogurtland's 30 per ounce)... but looking at the price photo (thanks Anna D!), it seems like it's way more expensive. 8 ounces at $3.50 is an insane 44 cents per ounce... and the prices only get worse with toppings. What the crazy. That's even more than freaking Tartini. If the weight is even close to being correct, this is way overpriced.
But at 8:30 on a Sunday night, the place was absolutely empty. I appreciate that, since Yogurtland Cupertino is always absolutely packed. -

Yaaay, Froggies!
I've been here a few times. The yogurt is tart and pretty awesome, they have happy hour and if you join their email club, you'll get info on cool promotions! It's also a great place to sit in and be with friends. The atmosphere is chill, there are magazines to read, they have a good variety of toppings, great deals, great customer service, what more could you ask for?
Oh, they give you a pretz stick with your froyo! :D
The only thing that I'm sad about is the fact that its to far from where I live. But if you're up at Ohlone, you could just drive or take the 210 bus (:

Fiance loves the frozen yogurt. So when I saw Fro-ggie, I thought it was worth a shot.
Fro-ggie is one of these Japanese inspired frozen yogurt places, so be prepared for a lot of Asian influence from have Green Tea frozen yogurt and other tart flavors. The interior is very simple and basic but with bright colors that gives this place a nice clean look.
Prices here are reasonable (about $3 - $6 without toppings) and the service here friendly. But I guess my biggest problem with Asian style frozen yogurt places, I'm not into tart tasting frozen yogurt, in fact, I hate it because it leaves a nasty taste to my tongue and need something sweet to wash it off. So I decided to get the "sweetest" item here which was a blue berry frozen yogurt and even this had that bad tart taste to it even with Oreo cookies. At least the kid was generous with the toppings and with the portion, so I give them kudos for that, but tart frozen yogurt is not my idea of dessert. I want something sweet.
Rating wise, if you're into the Asian tart style yogurt, I can see why they get high ratings, but for my taste buds, it's taste like frozen sour milk with some flavoring added to it. Never coming back again, but for decent portions both on the yogurt and toppings and friendly service in a clean place, Fro-ggie gets a 2 star rating.Listed in: Overrated and Don't Believe…

3.5 rounding to 4 stars.
I recently just had a liking to frozen yogurt, even after trying Pinkberry in LA. Truthfully I had been to Pinkberry a lot of times after giving it a mere 3-star review. Maybe it's the location that I went I dunno, but now I'm seriously turning into a frozen yogurt addict... well, make that a QUALITY frozen yogurt addict. And Fro-ggie is one of those places.
The location of Fro-ggie is pretty hidden, it's on a small strip mall close to 680 and you would have never guessed it's there. Not everyone would go out of their way to get there since there's no other places to go around the area, and that's the way I like it.
Their yogurt has that creamy consistency of ice cream, not icy at all, and it doesn't melt right away even if you've been eating for the past 10 minutes. They only limit to 4 flavors, and changing up one flavor each time (probably weekly?). Also, the toppings selection is smaller but for me, I only get these in all of the yogurt places I've been: Captain Crunch, Strawberries (or blueberries, whichever is in season), yogurt chips and my newest fave - mochi.
Go to Fro-ggie for a QUALITY frozen yogurt experience. If you have tried Pinkberry, then give this place a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed!Listed in: My Neighborhood

Pretty great fro-yo and pretty great customer service. I generally compare fro-yo places based on their original tart, and my favorite is still Red Mango. Fro-ggie's original tart is a little too icy for my liking.
The decor inside is really cute, with bench seating and colorful cushions. My only gripe with this place is it's full of teeny boppers talking about high school, or their first semester at college and how rush week went. OMG i feel so old. My friend's dad walked in, and literally walked out b/c he said there was no one over the age of 25 in there. haha! -

OK SOOOO I've wanted to try this place FOREVER!! I saw the sign in this plaza about their grand opening back the first week of February.
So finally got the chance to go, it's pretty good. It didn't wow me, pretty standard frozen yorgurt with the tart-like flavor, but the location will likely make me a regular.
The inside is really clean , and simple. The flavors they had were Original, Blueberry, Green Tea, & Soy (never heard of this one, cool!). They have a lot of fruity toppings.
And prices (for the fruit flavors/original as the sign stated) that I remember are as follows. The small size is $2.50, and you have a limit of 2 toppings. One topping is 75 cents. The medium size is $3.50, but with a 3 topping combo it will come to $4.95. The large is $6-ish
Pretty standard prices, although their small size is bigger than most froyo places.
One wall is orange, and the other is neon green. They definitely were trying to keep a modern look to this, and kept it simple with the Ikea furniture!
Don't forget your stamp card. 10 stamps = 1 free frozen yogurt.
I think this place will become pretty popular as a lot of people like me have been craving a tart-like frozen yogurt place for ages!! Yipee! Go Fremont -

If you've ever had Pinkberry in southern California and you loved it, this is as close as you can get! It's located in the same shopping center as Mission Pizza and relatively easy to find.
I believe the hours are:
Mon-Thurs 11am-9pm
Fri & Sat 11am-11pm
The yogurt here has a tart flavor so brace yourself on first try. My personal favorite is the original tart with strawberries and fruity pebbles. Yes, I know it sounds gross, but it's not.
The staff was pleasant and very helpful and didn't get annoyed by us wanting to try each of the four flavors. There were a suprising number of patrons enjoying their fro-yo despite the very recent opening (only a week earlier). Always a good sign!
I will definitely be making the trip back across town to go here!
****UPDATE
They put the hours on their website and they are as follows:
Sun - Thurs 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM
Fri - Sat 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM -

I have to agree with some of the other Yelpers that Fro-ggie is better than Yoswirl in terms of quality. I like Yoswirl's selection and self-service...but they have quality control issues.
Fro-ggie's yogurt is actually frozen and survives a car ride. Whereas Yoswirl's yogurt tends to melt quickly (which can be remedied by shoving it into the freezer for a few minutes). Fro-ggie is also open late, which is perfect for my insomniac tendencies.
Fro-ggie changes their flavors weekly, but I wish they had chocolate when I went. The tart flavor is not so bad. I bought a regular 8oz size w/o toppings for 3.50+tax. -

I can't say that I'm excited by how hip frozen yogurt is now, but at least I don't have to drive 40 miles anymore just to sate my lifelong frozen yogurt addiction.
Fro-ggie is pretty good. The topping selection isn't the largest, but the yogurt quality (creaminess) is much better than Fremont's hotspot, Yoswirl.
Fro-ggie may be a little more expensive than Yoswirl and it's not self-serve, but I'd take quality over quantity in this case.Listed in: Fremont

I went to Fro-ggie 2nd anniversary party from 4-6pm on Sat 3/13/10. I was there about 10 min early, but I sat down instead of starting a line, bad mistake. As soon as 4pm came, there was a line already so I had to get out & stand in the long line.
It moved fast since it was a FREE small with no topping. I picked Peach. It tasted fine.
The we all could spin the wheel to win prizes. The big prizes were: $5 gift card, Fro-ggie t-shirt, RC Submarine toy, & Aromatherapy oil burner. I got a cheap plastic cup which I'll use for camping.
Thank you Carlos & hope for many more anniversaries.

This is the best frozen yogurt place I've tried so far! Then again, I don't know how much that's saying since I've only tried Tuttimelon in SF & Red Mango in Palo Alto.
The yogurt is perfect -- nice balance of sweet & tart, creamy & icy. I got original tart w/ mango & mochi. I don't know why I keep getting mochi, I actually think it tastes weird with the yogurt but that chewy goodness is irresistible! I was thinking about getting strawberry and somehow the guy knew and he offered to cut fresh strawberries for me -- how nice!
This place is new, clean, and cute. Lots of good seating, it would probably be a good hangout spot but the location is kinda out there... which is nice too since it wouldn't be too crowded? But I'm not from Fremont & I went on a Sunday night so don't count on it. -

I had the vanilla bean flavor with brownie bits. It was kind of a lot, maybe because I've become so accustomed to self-serve. The yogurt was so cold I couldn't really taste the brownies, so the brownie bits were just about the texture. But I really liked the flavor!
Tien N. got the double chocolate with 3 types of chocolate candy. It was craziness in a cup. I think he liked it. But it might have been too much.
The decor is tasteful, cute, and colorful (but not too colorful). There is an interesting smell in the place though, perhaps of some cleaning detergent. Otherwise Fro-ggie is cool and worth trying out if you're in the area =) -

A major froyo craving hit me after brunch. Popped out the cell phone, yelped "frozen yogurt" and Fro-ggie came up. I thought what kind of name is that?? The janky sign outside didn't help either.
I never really notice how much froyo costs but seeing their prices made me stop. Is it normal for a small cup to be $4.00 with one topping? That seemed kind of pricey to me but luckily when we went it was happy hour! This is a special promo which is ending very soon, the sign said it expires 2/8/09 but during 4-7pm everyday a small cup is just $1!
When froyo places offer fruit flavors, I usually sample a fruit one and then order original tart but this time, I sampled mango and ordered a cup of it! It was really good. My friend sampled the vanilla bean and it seriously tasted like ice cream. Don't know if that's a good thing since froyo is supposed to have a tartness to it. But my mango was a great mix of mango sweetness and tartness.
Fro-ggie gets 4 stars because 5 is for when Pinkberry finally comes to Norcal. WHEN WILL I SEE THE DAY?? -

So when the bf and I collectively earn a buy-9-get-one-free in a matter of 10 days, I think that means I'm officially a fan.
Having a tart fro-yo place pop-up in the area has definitely made the sting of living in Fremont more tolerable and at 9:30pm on a Wednesday night, even downright pleasant!
On our first trip here (during their first week or two of operation) I was pretty disappointed because they were super sheisty with their toppings, but maybe it was an off night, or maybe they check Yelp because ever since, they've done a complete 180 and pile them on so that even my mochi monster bf ends up with extra on the bottom of his cup when hes through!
I tend to stick to the original tart, and their version is the perfect balance of tart without being too icy or too creamy. I noticed that their mango is always nicely ripe ( i hate it when its too sour) and one day, they had sliced up grapes as a topping, which I L.O.V.E.D. I hope it becomes a regular part of their topping selection, because I Mmmmm they were good! Oh as others have mentioned, their mochi is deliciously soft and pillowy, too.
And even though I've only taken my yogurt to go, minus one star for loud and annoying tweenies that fill up the joint making my 5 minutes inside the place pretty darn intolerable. -

Another Pink Berry type fro yo place!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
1) They're open till 10pm on Weekdays (11pm on weekends). Which is great since NOTHING in Fremont is really open past 9.
2) Free wi-fi. A great alternative if you don't want to go to Starbucks or Bay Street Cafe.
3) Outdoor seating for all those warm nights. -

Fro-ggie's plain tart is milkier than most fro-yo places, but I don't mind. 3 stars because it's a bit more expensive than other Pinkberry imitations I've been to in Southern California. Also, I prefer self-serve places so I can arrange my toppings however I want. They NEVER put enough almonds on my yogurt! However, they redeemed themselves by having the May issues of Glamour, In Style, and Harper's Bazaar available. Can you please add Paris Vogue, Teen Vogue, and ID? And some Judy Blume books? And a tree house? Thanks!
EDIT: I CHANGE MY MIND! 5 STARS! I've been to too many bad froyo places up north. Fro-ggie's is definitely the best. The guy that works there also take extra care to put a million almonds on my yogurt. Love love love! Definitely 5 stars.
