Penguin's Place Frozen Yogurt

Penguin's brings back nostalgic memories of the frozen yogurt of my childhood. I haven't been here in years and it looks exactly as I remember it. You can take your yogurt to-go but there are also plenty of tables and chairs in shop. The place looked very clean. Customer service was wonderful.

There was a small line when I came in but it moved fast. They give free samples of the yogurt before you buy. There was only one non-dairy flavor which is what I wanted. The flavor was mango. Wish they had more non-dairy flavors to choose from as it's a popular request nowadays. However, mango was refreshing.

A regular small scoop is $6. Some reviewers were saying that was expensive. However, that's the going rate for a small cup of ice cream nowadays so I think that's totally fair (as compared with Salt & Straw and Jeni's).

I purchased the kid's size cup ($5) and the amount was generous. I split it with someone and we were both satisfied.

I did not get toppings on my yogurt. However, there were a great many toppings to choose from for an extra cost ($2.75). They had every imaginable topping from sprinkles to fresh fruit.

Penguins is located in a mini-mall with ample parking. They take both cash and card.

The yogurt fresh fruit toppings was great. The portion was nice sized . Service was fast. The only negatives are at $10 the value is below average and there is a small seating area and not much parking .

My friend took me to this yogurt place, and I had the classic vanilla and strawberry frozen yogurt. This place has been around for years, and was one of the OG frozen yogurt places.

Customer service was great, and the cashier allowed us to try samples of the frozen yogurt and ice cream.

The vanilla was my favorite so I'll probably come back and get that. The strawberry was okay, but Yogurtland is much better. It tasted more artificial.

They also have a new Carbolite option, which my friend tried. She got the cookies and cream, which she said was quite sweet, even though it was no sugar and low carb.

I also tried the pistachio almond and black cherry ice cream, and would come back to get the black cherry.

Happy eating!

Update 3 months later... it's time to switch to Big Chill right across the streets. A SMALL scoop is now priced up at $6 and dry toppings charge $2.75 not only went up, now 4 to 3 TINY spoon-half.

Yelp needs to have a "THUMBS DOWN" in addition to 1-5 star rating.

'nuf said. Bye.

So I came back to try their peanut butter and cookies and cream flavors...just delicious! The service was super friendly, AND THEY TAKE DEBIT CARDS!!!

I've heard of Penguin's before, and it'd been ages since I had frozen yogurt. Stopped by for an afternoon treat and chose two flavors: Irish Mint and Hawaiian pineapple. The latter was my favorite, as the froyo really brought out the fruity, slightly acidic taste of the pineapple; the Irish Mint was good, extremely minty, but it bordered on tasting like toothpaste. XD

Overall, decent place for froyo, although it's expensive at $6 for a small cup.

Went in for a pickup today and wouldn't let me use restroom lol
He seemed like a manager too which blows my mind. What an embarrassment of management this place have.

This place had great customer service. The lady taking my order took her time to put the toppings in a very cute way. To be honest the only frozen yogurt place I like is pinkberery, but after trying this place out I think it might be now my new favorite place. The yogurt tasted amazing. So happy to find a new place like this.

NEVER GOING BACK!
BEWARE!
I've been going to Penguin for a few years now. I went again on Sunday, and there was a STAPLE i pulled from my mouth in my bowl of yogurt. Most likely, from the packaging of the nuts that were put on my yogurt. Not even an apology from either of the 2 employees, one of them being the manager. She didn't offer anything, not even a refund, until I had to ask for it. $17 was the order total but since there wasn't a STAPLE in the second bowl, we only received $10 in a fefund.

I accompanied a friend who relies on a certified service dog for seizures to Penguins Frozen Yogurt. The employee on duty, a middle-aged Latino man, asked us to read a sign. We assured him that we had read it and explained that the dog was trained and served as a service dog. Shockingly, he responded by telling us to leave since we weren't visually impaired. It's important to note that this behavior is not only illegal but also incredibly rude and uncalled for.
We decided that Penguins Frozen Yogurt did not deserve our patronage. Instead, we found a fantastic alternative just a short distance away called The Big Chill Frozen Yogurt, which turned out to be absolutely delicious.
