FroZenYo

This fro yo is awesome!

I was rather impressed with the variety of flavored offered at this little shop in downtown Silver Springs. After a filling brunch, my boyfriend, his friend, and his friend’s wife made our way here for a quick sweet treat. I noticed the majority of the flavors offered (chocolate, vanilla, birthday cake, mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, red velvet cake, and dulce de leche to name a few) were fat free. In addition to the fat free flavors, they also offered vanilla custard. The cookies and cream was quite tasty and while I didn’t add any toppings, I did notice they had most of the standards, including M&Ms, Reese’s pieces, brownies, cheesecake bites, strawberries, and health bar crunch. What I found different here than anywhere else I have experienced– the hot fudge and hot caramel are free (you can add it after you pay if you so desire). I don’t foresee myself being in Silver Springs often, however, if I do find myself here again and in need of a sweet treat, I know where I can find a tasty one!

I love my froyo and this place was awful. I always get tart (or original) flavor with lots of fruit toppings. The tart flavor here was so odd, tasted more like frozen custard than it does froyo. The fruits were not fresh, and the counter was messy, it was obviously not kept very clean. I was really disappointed since this was the only froyo place near our apartment.

My girlfriend fell on a wet floor in the Silver Spring location last night. I slipped and did not fall, but she did fall and no one even bothered to ask if she was alright. I asked a staff member to put a warning/​safety cone out on the wet floor and that was not done. Luckily she is not seriously injured, but her tail bone is sore today from the fall. I think they should train the staff to respond better to this kind of situation. The yogurt was good, as always, but service was pretty awful!

I love this yogurt place! They have a different variety of stuff and there’s a lot of toppings that I choose. I mainly go for berries and a few cereal. I’ll go for either a berry or a soury yogurt. The customer service was great. They offered us a FrozenYo 7 trip card where you can get 6 and 1 free. It was awesome! The place is also clean too.

Pronounced by me as FroZENyo (no motorcycle maintenance required).
I’m sorta obsessed with this place. Coconut FroYo with pound cake, some walnuts and whipped cream with a pair of cherries for the win! Add a water for a few cents more! :-)

Yes FroZenyo is known for great flavors but this location needs a health safety inspection STAT!!! The floors are filthy, the outside of the machines looked like they had been wiped down with a dirty rag filled with yogurt, the bathroom wasn’t any better and the customer service could improve I’m sure if they didn’t hire kids to work there. My point you ask… If you don’t care in the front of the house then you must not care in the back either! Presentation and cleanliness is everything when it comes to food of any kind!

They had strawberry boba yesterday as well as mochi toppings! Made my day! Stay away from heavy toppings like strawberries and pineapple chunks. Remember you are paying by the ounce.

Another in the endless crop of frozen yogurt joints where you serve yourself, this particular FroZenYo had actual vanilla custard on offer. I’m in!
Toppings bar wasn’t massive (not much elbow room!) but it was well stocked and quite tidy.
Two of the staff were having a very loud discussion as to where one of them was planning to have his dinner. The nearby Potbelly seemed to be the choice.

I’m updating my review since they’ve since solved my problem of not having their original yogurt available. There truly must be crack in the plain tart — it’s the best yogurt I’ve ever had. Better than Pinkberry. I can’t get enough!
The lines move quickly and the cashiers are nice and friendly. I’m docking one star because the toppings bar needs more variety, should be cleaner, and have better quality fruit.
But seriously, the plain tart is amazing on it’s own. Try it!

I want to give this place more than one star… I really do… But I just cannot bring myself to…
I came here on a Saturday night and it was packed, as expected. We were able to snag a table and pulled up some extra chairs. But the constant shoulder-​to-​shoulder and elbowing become annoying rather quick. The one worker was rather lethargic and would have rather been in the rings of hell than working that evening. (And what kind of business only keeps one girl staffed on a busy Saturday night?!)
Now onto the yogurt… It fell flat, I mean really flat. I mixed a few flavors, cheese cake, mixed berry, and vanilla. The machine pouring of the yogurt is very inconsistent. That seems like a minor annoyance but it was a major issue. One flavor was beyond slow, another burst out providing much more than I wanted. I ended up scooping off over half and throwing it away because I did not want that much. If one in every two customers did the same thing I did, there is a lot of profit being literally thrown away.
The yogurt also tasted off. One flavor was overly rich and thick, other did not even taste of yogurt. The mixed berry was all icy. It was as if there was no yogurt in it at all… It tasted like flavored ice (like Italian ice or a slushie). It was really strange.
The toppings are not fresh. The strawberries looked like they were cut 3 days earlier, if they were cut in store at all. I cannot recall the other toppings, the fruits all looked old and soggy. For the amount of traffic the store sees, I expect the toppings to be fresh.
Over all, I will not be back. Even if I have a yogurt craving and happen to be stuck in the area, I will avoid this place at all costs. Yuck.

Strawberry Short Cake Froyo $ 5 (⁵⁄₅ NOMs)
Nothing short about that! Its time for some refreshing froyo on a hot day in Silver Spring, DC’s suburbs. They are really into themed and complimentary toppings. This time its all about making your own Strawberry Short Cake. Get some strawberries, super soft short cake and strawberry flavored froyo. It really tasted just like eating a real thing, so soft and sweet, perfect dessert on a hot or even cold day. We decided to upgrade this a bit with some Kit Kat and M&Ms. Can never have enough extra sweetness.
Apple and Pumpkin Pie Flavors (⁵⁄₅ NOMs)
Its pie within a pie, within a pie, pieception! Apple and Punkin pie froyo flavors with real Apple and Pumpkin pie! I was completely surprised to find real pieces of apple and pumpkin pies. Now that’s a topping. Yea we went and did this. Can you handle this froamazingness? What a great fall flavors combination. It was like eating super chilled pies with more pies! So dangerous to have one right near us. Just have to go for more.

Yummy, creamy delicious supposedly nonfat or close to 98% fat free yogurt, but it is so creamy and so good that I am convinced they are lying.
Love this place. $ 0.30 water and great toppings. I would say it is better than pinkberry

Very so-​so.
No sampling cups available. No one to offer you the cups.
No water available.
Tried two yogurt flavors: berry and cheesecake. The berry was pretty good, but the cheesecake tasted gross. Dispenser poured out too quickly.
It was an August afternoon and flies were coming in and occasionally sitting on the fruit.
Not a ton of toppings and always crowded.
You can do better…

For self service frozen yogurt bar, FroZenYo is as good as it gets.
There is a plethora of flavors to choose from; the difficulty is making the decision. I like how the majority are fat free while the others are 98% fat free.
This froyo is slightly airy and thick (both a plus in my book). Contrast that to watery and icey which is sometimes a problem with froyo. The condiment bar is well stocked and appears clean. The interior of FroZenYo is also clean and well stafffed.
29 cent water?! At first I thought they were charging for tap water or something ridiculous. Nope 29 cent bottles of water my friends! Really! As if that wasn’t generous enough, there is free hot chocolate fudge topping. WHAT!!!
The price is right. I got a monsterous bowl of froyo and ample toppings for about $ 4.25. I regretted it after, but not during.
Next time, and believe me there will be many next times, hopefully I can control myself a little better. This is as good as it gets for froyo!

Love the tart yogurt, creamier than many other places, almost like ice cream. Other flavors I tried were not as good. Cheap water which is what brought me into the store the first time.
Hint: They have these wildlife poker chip gift card things, you buy one and you can use it for double the amount you paid. Just cannot use it the same time you buy it.

Yum!

This place needs to fix their yogurt machines — I tried three different flavors and they all dispensed quickly like a can of Reddi-​wip. So much for sampling flavors — I felt too guilty to «sample» what ended up being an outpouring of three flavors I didn’t really want (cake batter, pistachio, coconut). The textures were strangely foamy (not creamy), and the flavors were artificial-​tasting. My friends thought the same.
Yogurt is $.49/​oz — they have 16 different flavors, a wide selection of toppings, and «free» hot fudge and hot caramel toppings. I tried the hot caramel and sadly it was pretty watery.
Not a fan.

OK, the yogurt tasted fine, but there was just no consistency in the texture. I grabbed a bowl, and pulled the handle under the Cookies and Cream flavor, and a thick, wide frozen yogurt stream slooooooowwwwwllyyyy flowed out of the spout. It took a while, but, whatever, right?
So then I thought «Mmmhmm, a touch of cheesecake yogurt sounds good as well» so I pulled THAT handle and FREAKIN NIAGARA FALLS of cheesecake not-​really-​frozen yogurt IMMEDIATELY fills my ENTIRE CUP! It just shot out there like a fire hose! What the heck, FroZenYo!
Not pleased. But I bet if they fixed that I would have liked it. The toppings were solid but nothing special. Pull it together, YO!

Yum — when I first started eating frozen yogurt there was just the ‘tart’ flavor… now there are about 20 amazing flavors to choose from. I recommend taro, pistaccio, strawberry banana, and the classic tart!
I like to add mochi, sliced almonds and strawberries… tasty!
