TCBY

I was so happy to see there is still a Tcby located close to manhattan. It’s probably one of the worst Tcby locations I have been to but it still tops all the other frozen yogurt chains. This one shares space with a mrs fields store but they are somewhat separated. The employee who helped us was terrible. I asked for a sample of vanilla and strawberry and she said we are only allowed 1 sample per person. So lame considering I did not see one other customer show any interest in their yogurt. They only had 3 soft serve flavors– vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. No white chocolate mousse which was devastating. We both sampled vanilla and it was so thick and good! The best vanilla yogurt I have ever tasted, by far! The consistency was perfect. Never once did it come close to melting. I was annoyed that they would not let me sample strawberry too. If you’re charging an arm and a leg for for frozen yogurt at least have the decency to allow more than 1 sample. The sizes they offer are small medium and large and all are super expensive. I got the large which was $ 6+. As always I had my food scaled and it only weighed 9.5 ounces. I’m sorry but that is considered a small in most places! I would normally give 3 stars for dumb rules and stingy portions but the quality was too good not to give them 4 stars.

was in the mall the other day, and swung by here as I wasn’t hungry enough for lunch yet, but my stomach was grumbling a bit.
the blackberry smoothie is delicious. kinda costly, but still filling.
as Jando as pointed out in his review from a while back, their smoothies aren’t really «healthy», but they are the lesser of evils compared to some other food offerings around here.

If the Lemon Ice King of Corona had a session of hot unadulterated hanky-​panky with the undisputed Queen of Dairy (aka Dairy Queen), this would be the bastard child, a smoothie so thick you need to eat it with a spoon.
This is TCBY’s Purely Peach Smoothie. Ice crystals?, check!, Dairy?, check!, Is she thick & creamy in all the right places?, Yes!
I approached my little peach smoothie all hot and bothered. But, I left with a cool n’ tingly feeling inside, and a soothing peachy after-​taste in my mouth.
I’d hit it again!

This place is one of those joint mall spots where businesses all work under the same counter line and the employees just simply work interchangably. In this scenario, TCBY happens to be Mrs. Fields Cookies and vice versa. All of this makes it easy to order smoothies and cookies. Or yogurt and cakes. Either way, it’s all a deadly combo.
I’m usually just in for the smoothies. Sure, it’s probably got loads of high frutose corn syrup and plenty of preservatives with no actual fruit, but it suddenly becomes the healthy alternative when Cinnabon and Mrs. Fields are your neighboring choices. I’ve never had to wait in line here and even during the hottest summer months, the staff behind the counter does a good job cranking out drinks and cold treats in little time.
