Yogurt Builderz

Amazing yogurt! So sad that it closed :(

Yogurt Builderz is definitely a hit.
As far as yogurt shops go, most are very similar. Yogurt Builderz delivers on my main criteria of differentiating factors: cleanliness, variety of flavors and toppings.
There are several flavors here I love: watermelon tops the list (wish it were available more often), peach, mint oreo.
My favorite though is a sundae: vanilla yogurt, crushed pecans, hot fudge, marshmallow cream and fresh strawberries. Hard to beat and Yogurt Builderz gives me what I need to create the concoction.
My only complaints? It gets a little too crowded most evenings and I wish there were more places to sit. And they could bus the tables a bit more often. But none of these things should keep you away. This place is great!

Yogurt Builderz is the top of the line build your own sundae, Yogurt toppings bar. The toppings are varied and fresh. They have many different flavors, including the Only 8 variety, which is 8 calories per ounce– and lactose free. Delicious!!!

We discovered this place after a weary trip to Spencer’s in the same complex. Talk about a pick me up for a tired toddler & mommy and daddy! My son LOVED this froyo. He kept signing «more more more» it was hilarious :) we loved that you can get pretty healthy froyo loaded with fresh fruit and be refreshed. We have come back a few times. We love this place :)

My daughter and I enjoy trying out different frozen yogurt places during our jaunts about town. While we were in Scottsdale, we did a little Unilocal search, and up popped Yogurt Builderz!
This place, like many of the others around town, is a self-​serve operation. Pick your cup, fill it with whatever makes you happy, top it, and then pay for it based on weight. As usual, my daughter and I opted to share a small cup, and we each topped our own half.
For this adventure, I think we choose a peanut butter favor. (Originally, I thought we picked cake batter, but I was mistaken… thank you for the update from the owner.) It was a low sugar option, which works in both mine and my daughter’s favor… after all, sugar will keep her awake for hours, and at my age, my metabolism is ever waning… so, every chance we get, we go for low cal. Granted, peanut but wasn’t the only low cal option Yogurt Builderz boasted, it’s just the one that sounded the most appealing to my daughter.
Although the selection for the various yogurt flavors wasn’t as extensive as some of the establishments we’ve frequented, the toppings certainly didn’t disappoint. As she often does, my daughter found the gummy section of toppings, and threw some on her half. Being that it was peanut butter, I wanted to add something to go with it. Being a peanut butter lover, I threw in some tiny peanut butter cups… like adding bacon to bacon!!!
While we were eating, I noticed that this place has a lot of customer (children’s) artwork strewn about the walls. I like that they have such a dedicated following. It certainly speaks to their local feel.
The cost was comparable to many of the other froyo places scattered about town. Still, the place was rather small, and the selection wasn’t as vast as I’ve grown accustomed to from some other places. Granted, I like that they rotate in new flavors, though so does everybody else.
Overall, this place, to me, is pretty decent. Not my favorite, but I certainly wouldn’t turn down an invitation to go should one arise.

I really love this place! I found Yogurt Builderz because it’s super close to my work. Coworkers and I have popped in on more than one occassion for an afternoon pick me up. They have some pretty standard flavors always on hand, but they also introduce some new ones into their lineup as well. If you’re unsure of what you want, don’t worry, you can try some out before you make a final decision. They have a wide range of toppings consisting of fresh fruit, cereals, nuts, candy, sauces, anything your wonderful little heart could desire. Staff is always friendly and nice and it’s always clean. No toppings strewn messily around the bar and no yogurt messes either. For repeat offenders they have a frequent buyer card, buy 9 get $ 3 off. If you’ve never been, you’re missing out!

Location was clean. Self-​service froyo spot with toppings including fruit & syrups. Didn’t have mochi though, which is my favorite topping.
If you check in on Unilocal,there’s a 20% coupon!

Great little yogurt shop tucked away in a strip mall off north scottsdale road (I know that doesn’t narrow it down haha). We tried this place after reading the positive reviews and it definitely lived up to the hype! Reasonably priced with plenty of flavor options.
I tried the pumpkin and chocolate chip cookie with nutella on top. Nutella = pretty much the best thing ever. So nutella + yogurt is a winning combination. More yogurt places really need to offer it. My parents said the devil’s food cake was pretty delicious. There were plenty of toppings to choose from, including yogurt covered pretzels which you don’t see everyday.
If you check in on Unilocal you can get 20 percent off! Brought our order to less than 9 bucks for three decently sized yogurts. Definitely the best quality for the price I’ve seen in Scottsdale.

Yogurt Builderz didn’t quite knock it out of the park for me. I must admit this review is based on four samples, but they were enough to decide I’d rather purchase froyo elsewhere.
I wasn’t «wowed» by the quality and texture of the yogurt. The house vanilla is solid, as is the Oreo. Peanut butter and chocolate were nothing special. I didn’t like the ice factor – it seemed like the samples started melting really quickly. Probably explains the slightly watery taste. The toppings bar didn’t «grab» me like at Yogurtology either.
The décor is nice. There’s a fresh, young vibe to it. You definitely can’t miss the flavors – they’re labeled with very large signs. Pretty heavy-​duty machines too.
Don’t get me wrong, the yogurt was just fine; I just prefer a creamier product that can survive the drive back to my apartment.

Continuing my quest to conquer all frozen yogurt shops in the Valley and now I can cross Yogurt Builderz off my list! This could be one of my favorite fro yo shops because the yogurt is incredibly creamy and they actually have normal size cups for filling. Yes they also have the over-​sized cups that could feed a small army, but they also have the normal sized (old school) cups that’s the perfect size.
The frozen yogurt is delicious and par to other frozen yogurts out there. They have a wide variety of flavors including tart and savory. I choose the cookies and cream and Vanilla and topped it with my favorite accessory, cocoa pebbles! Not only does it bring back plenty of childhood memories, but they are low cal and they never get soggy in the fro yo.
The shop itself is sparse and serves its purpose of providing great frozen options. They have a decent amount of seating on the patio in addition to a little bit inside.
I will definitely frequent Yogurt Builderz again and again! They also offer frequent shopper punch cards!

I mean its a Fro-​Yo place… how different can it be?
but what alleviates this place from Routine to the Superlative category is the service…
The guy behind the register spread some smiles, struck a conversation and stamped the loyalty card twice :)
True to name flavors of Banana, honeydew and vanilla on the evening i visited… will definitely go back

So far the best frozen yogurt in the valley! Tart yogurt will always have a special place in my heart and this place makes the best! I always get giddy when they have the seasonal flavor pineapple. Best combo ever!
It is one of the cheaper places which is always a plus in my book! I never feel guilty leaving this place because they have an amazing selection of fruit to choose from (don’t worry the sweet tooth few, the have many treats to choose too!) and the yogurt is notoriously low fat and few calories!
The loyalty cards are great and the text coupons are fantastic– who can pass up double and triple stamps?!? Just be aware it can sometimes get packed, but don’t fret, the line goes quick! Make sure you snag a table as soon as you see it or you may never get one!
YumYumYum I may get some now!

Best yogurt! Great Value!
I hate buying more food than I want! It is all in your hands at YogurtBuilderZ.
The yogurt is very good and the toppings are always fresh.
Expect a line.
Just GO!

I visit this place every time I’m craving something sweet. The draw? Their small selection of «Only-​8» frozen yogurt which contains only 8 calories per oz. Dessert I don’t have to feel guilty about, love it!
As far as taste and price goes, Yogurtland takes the cake. However, it is a very simliar set up to YL. Grab a cup, fill it up, pick your toppings and pay per oz.
My favorite «Only-​8» flavors are Peanut Butter and Lemon. The other flavors are typically chocolate based and taste oddly similiar.
My favorite regular falvor? Oatmeal Cookie. You can actually taste the chunks of real, ground, oatmeal cookie. Simply amazing.
Free WiFi, lots of seating inside and out and their loyalty card, buy 10 get one free is certainly a draw considering how often I visit.

Love this little frozen yogurt paradise! I like Golden Spoon, but this place is definitely a notch above. The toppings bar alone is a reason to check it out… can you say Fruity Pebbles anyone? How awesome is that???
I like the fact that you choose how much or little you want in whatever combos you crave. The flavors are also really yummy, and they always have a good variety. It’s a great place to take kids, as they tend to like anything interactive like this. I’m so happy I live close & plan on coming lots as the weather heats up.

Mojo, you know I love you, but I hope you’re listening.
This place has some non-​fruit flavored non-​dairy fro-​yo. And it’s delicious. Like, totally delicious. Darn good topping selection.
Yogurt Builderz has a neighborhood feel contrasted with Mojo’s art/​deco-​ness. Thank goodness, there’s room for everyone in this fro-​yo woah ho.
And there it is, one of the things I believe, a little fro-​yo life lesson, that there is enough of everything for everyone. The universe provides.

I hate that places are using «z» at the ends of words instead of «s.» Are you doing it to be clever? Because everyone does it, so it isn’t clever. But clever is not in high supply at any of these newfangled yogurt places – what it really comes down to is whether or not the yogurt is tasty.
And it is! They had more of a selection than Mojo, which I appreciate – they had chocolate/​vanilla, strawberry, banana, a couple of non-​dairy choices, and so on. I got strawberry with… cheesecake bits. And they were so creamy and delightful that each was a little foodgasm all its own.
Complaints: Um… where is the trust? The worker did not give us cups to taste – he insisted on serving the yogurt to us himself, even for tasters. At Golden Spoon this makes sense because we cant reach the machines, but here it’s self serve! You trust us to get a ton of yogurt but not a sample size? He didn’t really get what I was saying so he gave me a non-​dairy toasted almond tester which I had to choke down to not be rude, but I hate non-​dairy and I don’t like almond so how do you think that made me feel?
He gave me another tester but it ran out onto his thumb, so I was grossed out. Does he wash? Presumably, but…
Anyway I realize that’s a nitpick *but* it does make for a weird experience. And… there weren’t enough cheesecake bits. I want enough to fill a garbage can. A large garbage can.
Anywayyyyyyyy… despite those minor issues I would definitely recommend this place– yogurt is as good or better as mojo and yogurtland and the selection is definitely better than Mojo.

OMG!!! I am not a fan of yogurt at all… but my Oatmeal Cookie mixed with Strawberry was the most amazing dessert ever! (Well, not ever, but my goodness was this great!!!)
What a great way to finish an evening. I was tired from my workout and just finished a great meal at Bloom when I suggested Yogurt Builderz. My friend thought I had the most magical idea ever and off we went! I have friends that swear by this place and go here at least 3 times a week, so I had to try it. And the prices aren’t too shabby either. And they have a great assortment of toppings… though I do wish they were labeled a little bit better.
And while experiencing this amazing place… my other friends stopped by as well. One had the Marshmallow with Marshmallow sauce and the other the Devils Food. (Which I did have a sample of… good, but it seemed like it was missing something… probably calories and fat!)
But I heard that they don’t have Oatmeal Cookie everyday…:(I hope it’s there the next time I go.

I was very excited to finally find a self-​serve frozen yogurt place! Sorry, but it was totally not what I expected. The yogurt tasted like the ice creams/​froyo you get at buffets. I’m not saying it’s bad, but it definitely cannot compare to the Yogurtlands or the Pink Berry’s.
My favorite is just the plain tart w/​o toppings, but this didn’t have the right flavor nor the texture. I also tried vanilla, chocolate, and mint… which all tasted more like ice cream than yogurt.
They did have mochi topping, so A+ on that, and their other toppings all look very fresh. I’ll come back again since it’s right next to the gym, but I hope in time, they’ll improve their yogurt ingredients!

After an extremely long day and dinner at Kierland, a very drunk fiancé and I were driving home when I decided I felt like some fro yo for dessert… Just as we were passing Sapporo, I remembered that Yogurt Builderz was nearby. Perfect! I’d been wanting to try them out for awhile!
We walked in and Scott (the owner) recognized me from Unilocal right away…
«I know you,» he said.
Before I had a chance to respond, he went on…
«You’re a Unilocaler, aren’t you?»
It’s nice to see a business owner that’s on it like that!
Scott then proceeded to walk us back to the 10 flavors on tap for the day and told us a little bit about each one as he offered us samples and explained the history and concept of Yogurt Builderz to us. He apologized because they didn’t have Cookies and Cream that day — his fave flavor.
It was quite ok as Jared and I had plenty to choose from…
J went with plain and pomegranite tart flavors and I chose half chocolate cake batter (only 8 brand which I love because I don’t feel guilty eating it) and half plain tart. I topped mine with a combo of Raisinettes, mochi, and yogurt chips. For two pretty decent sized bowls, our total came to $ 6.89 — not so bad!
We sat down in the colorful store to enjoy our creations… for 9pm on a Wednesday night, the place was doing some decent biz. The employees working were friendly and the place was pretty spotless. Cute and colorful too!
I don’t have one negative thing to say about Yogurt Builderz hence the five star rating… they had just enough to choose from with flavors and toppings. So, I am sure I’ll be back — I love that the fro yo craze is here in AZ finally. Now I’ll have ‘go-​to’ places all over town for whenever the craving strikes!
