Zack’s keeps my sweet tooth on the straight and narrow! The new owners and staff are super nice and friendly. And finally, there’s a rewards program! I like the low/no added sugar alternatives. Good stuff!

PEANUTALLERGYBEWARE. I’m not sure if they were making peanut butter yogurt or peanuts were spilled on the counter but I had a horrible reaction within 5 minutes of being there. In the past I have never had this issue but it is important for anyone with an allergy to be aware and cautious when entering. My daughter loves Zack’s and always requests to come here for an ice cream fix. The prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly.

Whatever you do, don’t judge this place on how it looks. Yes, it is super awkward looking and not that attractive, but damn it if they don’t have the best frozen yogurt. I’ve never been a super fan of tart frozen yogurts, and what they have here tastes just like ice cream. It’s super creamy and delicious, and my parents typically will drive all the way out from the other side of town to get some! Not a lot of yogurt flavors, but there are tons of toppings to choose from; Reeses’ peanut butter cups, oreos, sprinkles, nuts, butterfingers, and more. Cones, varying sizes of cups, all at super affordable prices. For the quality you’re getting, it’s really a steal. I don’t like in Stratford anymore, but I love to come to Zack’s when I’m in town. They might consider renovating the place, but what they’re serving is insanely delicious. They are only open seasonally, so you won’t be able to get any deliciousness during the winter.

This is my favorite frozen yogurt place around… Being recently pregnant, I find myself to be somewhat of an expert:) They have great quality fro-yo, hard to tell it’s not real ice cream. If you get the cup, they put as much or little topping as you’d like, even layering it with the fro-yo!

A childhood favorite I hadn’t had in forever. Imagine my delight at seeing this location. Got a nice frozen yogurt with quite a few toppings. The bathroom is a bit hidden but there’s lots of places to sit here & if you wanted to hang out on a warm day, this is a good place to do that.

Ok So I know the new trendy hip thing is self serve froyo, but Zacks keeps it real and is just as, if not more, creamier and tastier. You can tell this is high quality froyo. I drive all the way from Hamden to get it, and there are so manu froyo places much closer to me, but it is truly worth the gas money– and gas aint cheap these days people!!! Not only is this a yummy treat, youll be greeted by extremely friendly staff. Side note: it has currently been taken over by new owners who are super chill. Portions and prices are reasonable as well. Moral of the story: if youre in the mood for froyo, choose Zacks!!! Enjoy!

Wow, its great that Zack’s has re-opened with new owners and a new attitude. James and John are brothers and once worked as employees. Zack’s yogurt is unlike any other that I have tasted. It will keep us coming back on warm summer nights. All the best to the young owners who are trying their hand as entrepreneurs and promise better things to come. They have already made a great start in attacking old and new customers.

I love Zack’s, but it has been closed for a long time now! Does anyone know if it is closed for good?

Terrific low fat and nonfat frozen yogurt. The staff is friendly, just not particularly talkative. The flavors rotate, so it is always fun to see what’s new. They also have a large selection of toppings. The inside has some seating, but the décor is minimal, so hopefully you will go with good company. Same goes for the outdoor seating. There is a bench looking out onto the parking lot. Overall, the atmosphere is nothing amazing but the frozen yogurt is delicious.

I come for a sweet treat and it is always good. The flavors rotate out each week so if you find a flavor you really like probably the next time you stop by they won’t have it. Because of this I’ve been sticking with the staple flavors like french vanilla. Overall I love zacks and I have been eating here for years.

Very good and a nice after dinner dessert! Limited flavors of yogurt but still good. We will be going back again soon!

This has been one of my favorite places for about a decade now! I love this froyo place! They don’t offer a huge variety of flavors but their cheesecake, coconut, and pisatascio flavors are some of my favorites. I’ve never had an issue with customer service. It’s frozen yogurt not a sit down meal so I’m usually in there for all of 5 minutes anyway.

I grew up in Stratford and am so glad that Zack’s is still here! I haven’t been here in at least 5 years and recently returned this summer. This frozen yogurt shop has been here for over 15 years and I’m glad to see a part of this area that has not gone out of business. The frozen yogurt is good and does not taste fake at all. It also doesn’t leave that strange taste in your mouth fro-yo often does. They have the standard chocolate, vanilla, and twist. They also have 4 or 5 other flavors that they rotate in and out throughout the summer like black raspberry and ‘red velvet cake’. They also offer lots of toppings and mix-ins. When you walk in its nothing special inside. no crazy gimmicks. in fact it looks like it did when I was a kid. However this doesn’t mean its run down or falling apart. The place has been taken care of and if what they have is working for them why change it? In this economy for a small family run business to stay afloat — — I give them a big kudos for that — — There have been a million and one business in and out of this little strip mall for as long as I can remember but Zack’s has never closed its doors. Surrounded by a slightly depressed area where AVCO used to be and the little Bridgeport airport — –its a good place to stop on your way to or from Short/long beach in the summer! We always get our fro-yo and take a drive down to the sea wall to finish eating it.

I’m desperately looking for a frozen yogurt place… I miss yogurtland! So when I read the review about Zack’s I was hoping to find something identical, maybe even better. Unfortunately… none of that! The store looks like the product tastes… NOCHARACTER… and FAMOUS! for what?! Sorry ZFFY… I was disappointed and won’t return again.

we were driving around Stratford killing time before an appointment and Zacks caught my eye as we drove past the small strip mall. We never heard of Zack’s so we thought it would be worth stopping and giving it a try — and we were glad we stopped in. The parking lot is a bit poorly planned, but once you get to the corner that the frozen yogurt shop is in, it’s not too bad until you try to leave and notice the one-way driveways — no big deal really. Inside the frozen yogurt emporium is pretty straight-forward, they focus mainly on the froyo(i think six flavors in total), and have some other things for sale — beverages, shakes, sundaes, candy, froyo mix-ins, cookies. keepin it pretty simple. The line moved quick when we were here and there was a steady flow of customers that seemed to be regulars. Being near the ocean is a good place for a shop like this! The frozen yogurt was good, didn’t have an overpowering fake flavor that some other places do — and didn’t taste like chemicals. It was a nice, rich, thick froyo that had a good taste and was nice and refreshing. worth a stop-in if you are in the area!
