Tasti D-Lite

What is a Tasti D-​Lite? It’s not ice cream. It’s not frozen yogurt. I’m familiar with Tasti D-​Lite from New York and I’ve always just considered it a frozen treat rather than anything that fits into a specific class. Bottom line: it’s low cal frozen dessert.
I’ve tried several different flavors from Tasti D-​Lite and to be honest some taste the same no matter what and some have good flavor.
The rundown on the good category: Burnt sugar is different and has a distinct taste almost like a flavorful caramel. Crème brûlée is also a tasty option. Other winners are pumpkin pie, egg nog, triple berry and brownie batter. These have the taste you’d expect from such. Not super intense but there. You recognize and love the taste.
As far as some other flavors go I’ll put these in a category called «the bland». Angel food cake, cake batter, rice pudding, tapioca pudding and New York cheesecake all tasted the same. I LOVE all of these things in their true form and was looking forward to tasting them in the aforementioned choices. But it wasn’t to be as all three were indistinguishable to me and I have some functioning taste buds so it was just the product here. Blueberry cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake are two other flavors that could stand a little more… well, flavor.
The chocolate offerings, and I dearly love chocolate, could somewhat be one and the same, also. With the exception of mint chocolate and the hint of mint, it was hard to tell a difference. Red velvet cake was a little more true to the name. Tiramisu, coffee and cream and coffee cake were close to one and the same, too. It’s a good thing I love coffee because that is what the main taste of the latter three is. I expected some variation, however.
I am not dismissing Tasti D-​Lite. Not at all. There’s no «ugly» category. When the flavors are right it’s spot on good. I just wish there was more distinction among certain options.
I give them a solid three stars with the possibility of gaining more once I’ve given some less pleasing flavors another try. It’s quite possible the formulas and mixing were off that day when the frozen treats were made. The place itself is clean and employees were pleasant. I enjoyed the good and I will give them another go.

My absolute favorite dessert/​treat — because its low calorie and low sin and beyond delicious. I don’t personally think the ones in the freezer you can take home with you ever taste as good when they are frozen hard, but going in for the fresh stuff just can’t be beat. When in doubt, try the Nutella. Mmmmmmm.

Yes! Yes! Yes! ;)
It’s always a good experience to come here lol
I love this place and they have so many flavors
This yogurt just taste like ice cream superb creamy :)
Good customer service
Very clean
I will recommend this place to all my friends

After some intense shopping, I needed to replenish my energy with some empty calories (but not too many). I have no idea what I ate here. It wasn’t ice cream. It wasn’t yogurt. And, in my opinion, it wasn’t good. The facility felt pleasant enough, and I have no complaints about cleanliness or customer service, I just think this frozen dessert is neither tasty nor delightful.

I am craving for a Tasti D-​Lite right now as I’m typing this review. I was always curious about this place, but never tried it since the whole fro-​yo craze took over Houston for a while. Anyway, my cousin was in town and wanted fro-​yo and I wanted to shop, so we ended up at Highland Village :)
I wish I had tried this place out a lot earlier! They have «crazy» creations where you can make any flavor you like! In fact, there were way too many choices… I stood there for a while not sure what to get. I think I ended up with vanilla (you could get two different flavors in your cup). Normally, I would pick Red Velvet, but I don’t know why I passed that up. I tried their banana chocolate, but I didn’t really like it.
For the health conscious, the small cup is about 70 calories and it goes up from there.
Also, for $ 1 you get unlimited toppings!!! I didn’t realize that until after I was done or else I would have topped my cup up with a lot of stuff!
What’s cool about this place is, you get complimentary coffee too :) For me, this was an awesome find!

I usually go to the Post Oak location and it’s always yummy! Tonight I went to the highland village location on westheimer… NEVER AGAIN! I had to go to the bathroom and it’s unisex-​it was so disgusting I lost my craving for fro-​yo. plus there were gnats flying around everywhere. what a disappointment :(

What’s not to love? A fairly guilt free frozen treat (because technically it’s not Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt) and they have over 100 flavors available! Mostly, they offer 3 – 4 every day on the soft serve machine (those are the featured flavors which are available for sampling), but they have the ability to make any of their flavor offerings if you choose to go that route. Don’t expect to taste overly intense flavors that you might get from a «weigh your own» type place. Keep in mind, most of these flavors have under 100 calories or less. Personally, I really like the subtitle flavors (it just feels a little lighter and healthier), but I know that’s not for everyone.
Pricing is about what you would expect compared to their competitors, maybe just a little bit less. Do get a Tasti Treatcard — 1 point for every dollar spent. 50 points gets you a free medium and you will also get a free medium on your birthday.
I frequent the Highland Village location most often because of its proximity to my home. The staff is always very nice and accommodating, but as you are aware, Highland Village parking is a major pain. I believe this is the only real negative.

Whenever I crave ice cream, I go to Tasti D-​Lite (either the Highland Village or San Felipe location), which offers yogurt but made to look/​taste like ice cream.
Name any flavor, and they got it. Nutella, tiramisu, crème brûlée, oreo n’ mint, vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon crunch, etc. They even have the flavors divided up to show which ones yield 70, 80, or 90 calories for those who are calorie-​conscious.
I always order the oreos n’ cream or vanilla with the oreo topping. It definitely tastes healthier than normal ice cream and still hits the spot.
I recommend coming here if you want a healthier dessert/​ice cream option!

If i could rate this with 0 stars i would. This place has HORRIBLE customer service to be in such a «posh» location. The «rude brown boy», and even more RUDE caucasian girl with the long ponytail” each need to take a course on customer service. They were working today on 05−10−12, and it was really like they weren’t there because each question we asked, they said read a sign, and or read the menu. I’m like, what is just your plain chocolate, to which they both responded it’s on the list. How helpful is that; and to deliver it in such a mannerless way. I could go on, and on, but get this. If the owners/​managers/​or whomever are aware of how these kids treat paying customers, then i guess they are just a reflection of you. I WILL NEVER REVIST THIS WACK ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN! BELIEVE THAT!

I had been to another location and just tried a small cup of the yogurt for $ 3.95 and was kinda meh on it. For the price and the limited number of flavors combined with it not being self-​serve, I wasn’t sold.
However, I decied to give it another shot today and took the time to step back and read the menu and ask questions. That on-​the-​spot research led me to order a fruit and yogurt parfait. For $ 4.95 I got easily double the yogurt I got in a cup plus granola and my choice of 2 fruits. If you are going to put fruit as your toppings, I suggest you get a parfait instead, since it’s a better value with the same stuff. Honestly, this parfait ate like a meal. It was REALLY big. I got crème brûlée yogurt and chose blackberries and blueberries for my fruit.
I was really happy with it, and I will definitely be back to have another parfait.

This rating is for the yogurt, but I am so tempted to give it a one star.
I don’t remember what flavors I had. I had two flavors. One was already made that day and the other was one that I had them make. They were not memorable, so I can’t even tell you the name of those two. I was craving something sweet and I already had a sample, so I felt obligated to buy something.
The yogurt was below mediocre. It wasn’t flavor at all. The texture didn’t seem much like frozen yogurt.
The service was completely mixed. The young lady working behind was a complete, rude, and uncompromising… person. I wanted two flavors, but she was so unwilling to do so for me even though the other guy working said I could. The young man that was helping me was informative, helpful, and patient.

6 – 7 pm Happy Hour Buy one get one for free.
If you miss the happy hour, check in on FourSquare on your Iphone/​Android and you get buy 1 get 1 for free!
Sure, low calories but if you add all these toppings like I do (Pecans!!! I’m a nuts fan) it definitely adds up!
Quite expensive without the Buy 1 Get 1 for Free Offer, but yummy regardless.

I’ve been stopping by Tasti-​Dlite on my way home from work for the past 2.5 weeks. They have a rewards card and for every dollar you spend, you get a point. Once you reach 50 points, you get a free medium cup which I already recieved since sadly, I’ve been here almost every single day.
I’ve tried most of the flavors and found some I dislike (red velvet and most of the cheesecake flavors) and some that I love (nutella, buttercrunch, mint chiffon, and cookies and cream). If you like those Ferrero Rocher chocolates, get the Nutella flavor since it tastes just like what I would imagine Ferrero Rocher icecream to taste like.

I love this place! Especially the location and the people. Highland Villlage is one of my most favorite places in Houston. I love strolling around and shoppng and grabbing Tasti D-​Lite for the occasion is just the cherry on top! Literally. Whether its after dinner or in between shopping, this is the spot. They have everything from icecream, yogurts, baked sweets to parfaits. Family friendly!
The have a really nice patio where you can have your treats outside. Very cute! I love it. My favorite flavor would be the Mocha Almond Fudge with a mix-​in of pecans. Yummm :)

What can I say? I’m a sucker for anything that tastes like crème brûlée. Oh, sure, you look at me like I’m insane now, but just wait. Go in there. Go on. I’ll hold the door for you.
Let me order for you. You said you like apple pie, right? What if I told you you can have fro-​yo that tastes like apple pie? No, no… Don’t take that tone with me, and definitely don’t tell me I’m full of it – not until you…
Hahaha… There it is. That’s the look everyone gets on his/​her face. The «OMG Am I Really Eating Frozen Yogurt That Tastes Like a Way, Way Worse for Me Dessert» look. You should see your face. It’s something like looking at a deer in delicious headlights.
Okay, so the service is a bit hit-​or-​miss, but you know what? I will tolerate it for crème brûlée, Boston cream pie, apple pie, peanut butter cups and smores that don’t make my butt expand like the national debt. Don’t look at me like that. You know what I mean. I’m a dessert fiend. It’s no secret. My God, if they ever figure out a way of creating Goode Co’s pecan pie, I’ll live out of Tasti D-​Lite. I swear.
Yeah, yeah… I know you will, too.

What a let down.
On a hot Sunday afternoon, we decided to stop back in for a second try, which will ultimately be our last. Hubby made the mistake of calling their frozen dessert «yogurt» and the young girl behind the counter totally gave us ‘tude. Seriously, we like out frozen desserts served without the extra serving of BA (bad attitude). While the Hubbs was getting the tude from the first girl, the second girl stood in front of me not even looking at me to help her co-​worker out while the ‘tude girl was making the Hubbs a smoothie. She didn’t notice me standing there in front of her for what seemed like eternity, but was probably at least 3 – 5 minutes. Nice, huh? Never again. She only paid attention to me after cheerfully greeting other people who had walked in the door and realized she had left me unattended.
Needless to say, I’d rather die a slow and painful death than have to come back here and be treated so poorly by teenagers. Instead of concentrating on making so many flavors that the workers don’t even know exist, why not give the workers some extra training in how to treat customers?

The line for cupcakes at Sprinkles seemed completely ridiculous, so my roommate and I headed over the Tasti D-​Lite for something sweet. Not only did we make a healthier choice, I think we may have made a more delicious one too.
The staff was incredibly friendly, answering all of our questions and offering their opinions on the best flavors.
My roomie decided on pomegranate and I chose peanut butter cup. After one bite we were hooked. This place has hands-​down the creamiest, best frozen yogurt I’ve ever had.
I took my boyfriend back after he tasted some of the peanut butter flavored frozen yogurt I brought home. This time, he had brownie batter and I had peanut butter. Not only were they delicious all by themselves, but we combined them a spoonful at a time and it was even tastier.
And though I’m not giving up on cupcakes any time soon, Tasti D-​Lite has me eating more yogurt. Good stuff.

I am absolutely addicted to this place right now! I am a huge icecream fan and while this isn’t the best icecream in town you can’t beat the lack of guilt. They have a million different flavors and for about 100 calories I can get my icecream fix without feeling bad about it.
Also, the staff here are really friendly and helpful when it comes to the huge menu. Last (but not least) they label all of the flavors that contain gluten, but most are GLUTEN FREE. Definitely check it out!

This place will blow your mind. Prepare to be flustered when trying to make a decision and prepare to go 3 days in a row (hypothetically speaking).
I am so glad Groupon did them; not sure I would have found them otherwise! I have tried Cinnamon Crunch, Oreo Chocolate Mint, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Oreo and Peanut Butter, Banana and Peanut Butter, Cake Batter and Peanut Butter Cup (those last 2 were a combo). And wow — all of them were delicious.

I have patiently waited for this soft serve place to open its doors. And I have been talking nonstop at the office about how nice it will be to have a ice cream place around the corner. So my coworker called to see when their grand opening was and the kind lady said soon but our doors are open today if you would like to come by for a free sample. But wait, Tasti d-​Lite does not serve ice cream. It’s a soft serve, low cal dessert that looks and tastes like soft serve ice cream only better.
I really can’t describe what the place looked like besides the pink walls. All of my attention was focused on the soft serve machines & toppings. The eager employees explained how they have 4 rotating flavors in the machines. If we didn’t see a flavor we liked, they would be very happy to make a custom blend. Really, like German chocolate cake? Yep! Just then the trainer turned around with a strawberry sundae which my coworker quickly grabbed. I opted for the mint chocolate chip. The ice cream itself is creamy and with all natural ingredients, doesn’t leave that weird-​oily film in your mouth. The flavor itself was quite delicious just like its name. Next time I think I will try the Black Raspberry.
