We decided upon Yoogl, which is pronounced just like "Google," and whose logo bears an uncanny resemblance to the online corporation. I feel like this can't be legal.
The frozen yogurt is self-serve; a customer selects a cup and then walks over to the machine and fills it to his/her heart's content. There are eight flavors available, though the flavors themselves seem to vary on any given day. Once the cup is full, there is a toppings bar available, which boasts most of your general toppings, such as Oreo crumbles and mini M&Ms, as well as an array of fresh fruit.
I am, of course, the most boring person alive when it comes to dessert selection, so I filled my cup mostly with chocolate yogurt. There was an oatmeal cookie flavor, which intrigued me greatly, since I adore oatmeal in any form. So I pumped a little bit of it into my cup, too.
Not one for any serious additions when it comes to my minimal ice cream/frozen yogurt/cake consumption, I opted for rainbow sprinkles on top. Chocolate with rainbow sprinkles is my staple combination, and it's extremely rare that I ever stray from this in any way.
The yogurt itself wasn't anything to write home about; it was perfectly average. All of my friends agreed, although one did point out that the granola was good. I did like the idea of the oatmeal cookie, and I actually liked the flavor, too, although it was too sweet for me overall.
Also, while the idea of self-serve frozen yogurt is a new and novel idea for some, there's a place near my hometown that's been offering just that for over a year and a half now, so I find it a little less innovative than some.
Yoogl's decor is modern, and very stark—it radiated a little bit of coldness, as a result. There is a table of random board games that sits across from the cash register, so we decided to play a game of UNO. The version of the game they have is close to archaic; we didn't recognize the pictures on several of the cards, despite our familiarity with the game. I suppose the games they have might all be donations, rather than purchases.
I doubt I'll be returning, though if I do, it'll be because it's there, not because I crave what they're offering.
