Nubi Yogurt

CLOSED :’(
Nubi is the only frozen yogurt place located in the huge Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia. Sadly, I just found out it closed a few weeks ago. This was the first frozen yogurt of any kind that I noticed had gone out of business, and I was very surprised.
Their selection of yogurt was like only 8 flavors, but all of the flavors were tasty. They had the red velvet cake which indeed tasted like the real thing. Topping selection was pretty good, too. I hope to see another yogurt shop replace this one soon.

My experiences here actually hasn’t been bad at all, just that I think that the yogurt here is just okay.
Stopped by here plenty of times during a hot summer day when yogurt actually sounded refreshing to have. The texture here is … OK. It’s not rich or creamy, but kind of light yet smooth. Just a little thin.
Flavors overall are true to what they say, I’d think. Though I’m no fan of tart, I actually think the tart flavors here are pretty good such that I don’t cringe when eating this and appreciate the balance of sour and sweet.

Decent yogurt.

good yogurt, fun topping, and the price just like any other yogurt shop. way better than menchies, (that place is so gross taste just like frozen sugary water) you can actually taste yogurt in Nubi yogurt!

Here’s a play by play of what happened as I went there last night:
Enter Nubi with ticket stubs from the movie theater
Immediately you notice that the workers friends are there loitering and chit chatting.
One of the workers yells «YO DAWG YOU AINT DOWN FOR THE HOMIES!»
Then someone yells «YO YO AINT DOWN TO GET YOGURTLAND AFTER»
Then some more yelling about how tough each other are.
I walked out.
Super uncomfortable watching a bunch of asian kids trying to be tough. I think I’ll go somewhere else.

NEWBIE, I mean nubi’s alright. It’s the same drill, pay by the ounce frozen yogurt and sometimes sorbet flavors with toppings. I actually thought their toppings were really fresh and tasted good when compared to other froyo places I’ve been too. I mixed a very good combo if I do say myself. White Chocolate Macadamia nut with Very Berry and Pineapple Dole with chunks of pineapple and blue berries.

Hm, after many visits, I have to say that I’m not too big of a fan of Nubi at the mall.
It’s got decent yogurt, and loads of toppings. Good customer service, and the best thing about it is that it has lots of promotions for discounts and also fundraisers. Maybe a little desperate if you ask me, but it certainly is nice.
Nubi yogurt’s quality isn’t the best, but it’s good enough that I keep coming back when I feel like getting some fro-​yo with friends. It’s definitely here to stay, but the only flavor that I consistently get is Original, since the other flavors taste too odd and artificial. They tend to change them, up, though.
Oh, and good prices, there’s another plus. :)

Food/​Cost: (4.5÷5) I still prefer Red Mango’s tart yogurt out of all the places I’ve tried, but this Nubi location has good yogurt for a great price ($ 0.38/oz). They don’t have the most comprehensive selection of fro yo flavors (the nearby Yogurtland on Baldwin has more); but, honestly, I don’t need to mix 10 flavors into one bowl anyways. The quality of the yogurt is pretty good — not too icy and distinctively flavored. Plus, they’ve got a bunch of my favorite toppings — burst boba, coconut/​lychee jelly, mochi balls, cheesecake bits, and of course all the fruits. They’ve also got an extensive selection of cereals, cookie bits, candies, and granolas.
Ambiance: (⁴⁄₅) The store is clean and well-​kept, just small. But you just grab your fro yo to-​go and you can sit right outside or in the food court that is only a few steps away. They do pretty brisk business, but the wait is never long — my last visit was this past Friday after dinnertime and we were in and out in a couple minutes.
Service: (⁵⁄₅) It’s self-​serve here, which is awesome. You can completely customize your bowl to your liking and pile on those toppings. I’ve been here plenty of times and the employees are young students, but all knew what they were doing, were courteous, and rang me up quickly.
Location: (⁵⁄₅) Nubi is located in the Santa Anita Westfield mall, by the food court entrance and across from the Cheesecake Factory and newly opened Paris Baguette. Parking is plentiful as the parking lot is huge.
Overall: (4.5÷5) I like it! If you come to mall and need a pick-​me-​up, Nubi is a good choice.

So I went to this place yesterday with a friend for the first time and it was good but that’s about it. It is a little on the average side. I think their vanilla tart was the best flavor and I think the strawberry yogurt is better than Yogurtland’s but that is about it. I think a lot of the flavors were too sweet even for a sweet flavor, like the moonpie and coke.
I did like the toppings. I think for the quality the price is expensive. Yogurtland is better.

I’m not really on the frozen yogurt train. Occasionally, I just visit the station if I happen to fancy a look. That said, after suffering the crowded Westfield Santa Anita on Memorial Day, I needed to satisfy myself with a treat that did not start with ‘Cinna’ and end with ‘bon”.
Seeing this small little place with a near constant crowd, I figured I’d give them a shot.
The set up is pretty self explanatory: Create Your Dreamy Frozen Yogurt treat.
Make it sweet and sugar with a whole host of confections or make it refreshing and fruity or go wild. Price is by weight ($.68/​oz). You really do get a whole host of topping selections, so don’t be afraid to be bold.
I went with their mango sorbet choice coupled with their lychee frozen yogurt and topped it with lychee fruit and chopped strawberries. SOOOOLID CHOICE. Freaking exotic summer in my cup, people.
The textures of the various choices is very good, too. Lychee was like velvet on my tongue, almost like soft serve ice cream. It was my favourite.
My friend (read: mom) went with the mango and the taro topped with various fruits, too. She loved it enough to drink the melty liquid remains like a damn soup.
Great little stop for your frozen yogurt fix when you don’t want cheesecake, dairy queen or cinnabon for your sweet tooth.

Not a fan of this place. more expensive than yogurtland and the yogurt was diluted and came out look like poop.
sadness. :(

This phenomenon of the frozen yogurt craze seems to show no end anytime soon. Nubi Yogurt has, recently, been revealed to me for the first time. Fellow Unilocalers Antho L., Ching T., Daniel L., David N., and I patronized this place to partake of their popular fro-​yo and their popular price promotion of 30% off. Well, my fellow Unilocaler and frozen yogurt connoisseur, Lolia S., has encouraged me to write this review, as she’s a fan of Nubi Yogurt, especially in Northern California, and has given rave reviews about their fro-​yo.
With the temperatures on the rise and the economy still a little shaky, people are rushing to Nubi Yogurt to take advantage of their good fro-​yo that has flavor, texture, and an irresistible cost, given the current promotion. We all sampled this refreshing and tangy fro-​yo and, immediately, grabbed cups to fill and purchase. I was glad to try the Dole Pineapple fro-​yo, as it’s light, delightful and, most importantly, non-​dairy. The fro-​yo at Nubi Yogurt encouraged us all to sit outside this place to relax and indulge our palates and chill our bodies with this comforting dessert.
Never before have I heard of a sale at a fro-​yo place, so I certainly applaud Nubi Yogurt for this promotion. This particular location is clean and has outdoor seating for their customers. Also, this Nubi Yogurt is at the Santa Anita Mall, so it will be a nice ending or beginning to your shopping excursion to treat yourself with this fro-​yo.

Nubi has just catapulted to the top of the chart for their delicious froyo and spring promotion. For the rest of April, this particular location at Santa Anita Mall and other participating stores are giving 30% discounts on their froyo and toppings that normally costs 38 cents an ounce. Above and beyond their promotion, their self-​serve layout is clean, neatly organized, and they are well stocked with a rotation of 12 flavors in addition to a great collection of fresh fruits and dry toppings. I came here with fellow Unilocalers Antho L, Ching T, Tony Y Jr and another friend and was able to enjoy sitting in their spacious patio with a light soothing breeze that was perfect for a warm sunny afternoon.
I got the Very Strawberry, Original Tart, Mango Tart, and Lychee Tart flavored froyo with toppings that included logan, lychee, mix fruit jelly, and fresh strawberries. The texture of the froyo was outstanding and I was particular impressed with the Very Stawberry and Original Tart. I’m not a tart froyo kinda guy but the one at Nubi was a big turn on. Each flavor was refreshing, well pronounced with a fluffy snowflake texture and the toppings were fresh and ripe with spoonfuls of logans and strawberries being my favorite. The experience was superior to what I had experienced at other froyo stores. Despite the positive experience, I still believe their regular price is too steep and therefore my 4.5 stars rating is directly influenced by the spring promotion which they should consider making it permanent. Like Fraiche, they also offer free wifi in all of their locations.
Service was brief, friendly, and they were quick to provide you with sample cups to get you started. I called them the next day to get clarification about their spring promotions and the person was very professional, friendly, and thoughtful in handling my inquiries. With the exciting mix of flavors, choices of toppings, great froyo texture and price set the experience apart from all others. I don’t think I will be back as often without the promotion but I’m certainly a fan of this place. I hope to visit their locations in San Francisco and West LA to weigh on the possible differences between stores.

More yogurt places to choose from! who HOOO!
Yes Nubi is another chain of frozen yogurt shops. This one is located in the Santa Anita mall just outside the food court.
Flavors are a bit sweeter than yogurtland and tutti fruitti (in my opinion) but the concept is exactly the same… and its a bit pricer than yogurtland’s 30 cents/​oz.
Some perks… they always send me coupons to my house. and they have tons of promotions. like 50% off for holidays. and 50% off for grand opening. when they have it for 50% off, you can get a butt load of yogurt for a dollar! AWESOME! and you can go shopping right afterwards :) haha
Some downsides. TONS of high school kids that just hang out here. and the shop is TINY. Also, due to the tiny location, less flavors than other nubi’s. :(booo.

Brownie points for being 50% off until Valentine’s Day. $ 0.39/oz regularly, though. For 3, the total came out to be less than $ 4.
I came here with my little brothers after watching a movie at the AMC inside the mall. The inside was very clean and organized. I believe only one girl was working, but there wasn’t that much business either. There isn’t any indoor seating but outdoor seating is adequate when it’s not raining. I also believe they offer free wifi.
The toppings are not kid-​friendly as my little brothers (8, 10) had to tippy toe and strain to get what they wanted. I had green tea yogurt and it tasted ok. It wasn’t extraordinary but it wasn’t icy like it is at Yogurtland. I’d come back in the future for a quick frozen yogurt fix, esp before Valentine’s Day :D

Yogurtland — please forgive me for temporarily shifting my loyalties. You’re good kid, you’re good, but Nubi’s just better at the moment.
As mentioned by other reviewers, since around Thanksgiving ’09, and up until Valentines ’10, they’re having the 50% off sale where, instead of 38 cents an ounce (or 39? I forget), you get it at 19 cents an ounce — ridiculous, no?
Please forgive me for consistently referring back to its #1 competition in the area, but Nubi takes the cake on Yogurtland in my book (at least until Valentine’s Day — or until whenever they extend this ‘deal’ to). Although Yogurtland has 16 choices versus the 12 at Nubi, you just can’t allow yourself to pay 11 cents more per ounce (Yogurtland is at 30 cents an ounce) for pretty much the same product. Now, Nubi has a few superior selections, but Yogurtland has their fair share of superior choices as well.
Pros: So what do I like about Nubi, other than their ridiculous price? Dole Pineapple Sorbet! The flavor matches that of the Dole Whip at Disneyland, but where Disneyland’s is dense, fluffy and creamy, Nubi’s is more icy due to the sorbet element. I actually like Nubi’s better, although I won’t turn down a good D’land Dole Whip.
Not bad: The mango, the raspberry pomegranate, the blueberry, and the original tart have all found their way into my cup on different occasions, and they’re all tasty. I think Y’land’s mango tastes better, but that’s personal preference. They have my favorite cereals! Cap’n Crunch and Cinnamon Toast crunch make for good complements to the original tart and certain fruit flavors.
Nice Try Buddy…: Their lychee flavor was quite disappointing. It tasted like they diluted the syrup you get from the canned lychee, and added it to their original tart. There was only a hint of lychee flavor, while I like mine to be nice and potent. Their Hawaiian Delight scared my taste buds away, and their Green Tea was something only a mother could love.
Overall: The place is really small, so get in, get out and get on with the shopping. The workers there try to keep the place clean, and they do a good job, but being that they’re all high school or early college hires, you find yourself waiting for them to finish their conversations with their friends before they notice you waiting there to pay for your yogurt.
I will continue to give Nubi my business for so long as they continue to have their ridiculously good deal — after that, then it’s pretty much back to Y’land. Yes — I AM that fickle and willing to switch loyalties, but hey, I like good food, but I also like a good deal.

I finally got to try out this froyo place today and I am really glad I did! They have so many flavors of froyo and so many toppings and the BEST part is that it’s 50% off right now so it’s only 19 cents an OUNCE! How can you beat that price with the large amount of selection?
The flavors I tried today:
–chocolate
–vanilla
–taro
–mango
–strawberry kiwi
–tropical
–dole pineapple
–strawberry
–cake batter
–blueberry
–original
–green tea
and I feel like there were a bunch more, but that’s all I can remember! The green tea was a little runny, but it was still super good! You can’t beat the selection/​price here! The décor is super cute and hip! This place is perfect to end a cute little date or just hang out with some friends! I’ll definitely be back for more!

I’ve avoided the frozen yogurt craze like H1N1, so why am I rating Nubi and what’s up the 5 stars?
The selection of yogurts is outstanding-​french vanilla, cookies and cream, pumpkin pie, chocolate, strawberry, mango, etc.
The toppings are nearly unlimited-​walnuts, pecans, peanuts, pralines, chocolate chips, cocoa pebbles, cap’n crunch, cinnamon toast crunch, strawberrys, cookie dough, etc.
The staff are really friendly, the place itself is clean and fresh and the design is modern and simple like their yogurt.
So, even though I probably will never eat there again (ya, I’m more of an ice cream kind of guy), that doesn’t change the fact that this place is a smoother operator! I will definitely recommend it to friends/​family!

i come here rather often cuz they handed me a whole stack of 50% and 20% coupons. VERY useful, btw. i get like $ 5 worth of froyo but just pay half the price for it… yum!
they have a pretty good selection of yogurts here, but my favorite one is their Pineapple. Tastes really similar to Dole Whip (the one u can get from disneyland) but of course it’s not the same. But good enough to satisfy my craving.
with two frozen yogurt places to choose from at this Santa Anita mall. i recommend you go to Nubi instead of Cefiore.

Even before they opened I already thought the space for it was too small :(
I went last night and I thought that the yogurt was TOO WATERY! I like my frozen yogurt to be frozen, please.
The outside patio is really comfy though and the employees are great. I just wished they had indoor seating as well.
I’m giving this place a 5 star because everything tastes the same and the employees are AWESOME! Very friendly. They just need to boost up the temp. of their frozen yogurt :)
