TCBY

I have a «soft spot» for soft serve ice cream and or yogurt! I happen to be in the area and stopped at this location. I was delighted at the variety of flavors they had, as well as highly impressed with the cleanliness of this location. A couple days later I was looking at the back of a recent grocery store visit receipt and noticed a coupon for this location. I was already planning on going back and that sealed the deal!

I’m not usually a chain fan, in fact, I actively seek out locally-​owned businesses and eco-​friendly joints… so I’m going to have to call this my guilty pleasure spot. Since I don’t live too far way, TCBY is definitely tempting for my soft serve loving soul. When I first moved to Denver, I hadn’t had TCBY in almost an entire decade. Seeing one so close made me feel like a curious little kid again. Here is the skinny…
The Grand.
TCBY’s white chocolate mousse is made by angels. pure & simple.
I swear they have a discount for yogurt lovers on friday (or something like that?)
Lots of flavor choices, swirl mixes and toppings
The yogurt tastes milky, not fake, like some other shops I’ve been to
The Average.
Self-​serve machines are kind of annoying, but not a deal-​breaker
It’s pretty darn busy on the weekends
I usually take my bowl home, because it’s not a place with any real atmosphere
Unmemorable staff
The Unfortunate.
I miss the parfaits I got here 10 years ago… *sigh*
I feel judged for my giant-​bowl habit… ;)
All in all, this shop gets 4 stars because it is such an old brand that I feel a little nostalgic every time I walk in. It’s really just a family-​friendly chain that will satisfy your sweet tooth if you’re up north.

Very clean and the frozen yogurt is amazing! Love the food, just great to have a cold snack and relax!

Tried this new TCBY a few months ago right after they opened. The rating I gave Meh,… is because the better experience I had was when TCBY was originally opened
years ago but then closed up, the flavors were better and the yogurt was creamy. At this newly opened TCBY I had the White Chocolate Mousse and Peanut Butter. They were icy and tasted artificial.

Place was super clean and staff was friendly. Good topping selection. Only 3 stars as I prefer a lighter natural yogurt and all of these were very heavy, milky and texture more like soft serve. Flavors were pretty plain today with an artifical taste. Chocolate, vanilla, vanilla honey, chocolate almond, white chocolate mouse, strawberry, mountain berry, orange and one other. Only sorbet style today (orange) was very «icey» and wet. Blah. Neither of us finished our cups. Red Mango is still my fav by far.

It’s not quite like I remember it when I worked at a TCBY for my VERY first job ever (20 years ago… yikes!), but it’s still got some great features. It’s now «self serve» like most of the new yogurt places these days but many of the old flavors are still there (HELLLOOOO white chocolate mousse!). Good selection of toppings. They also have waffle cones which I saw as a definite plus. Many of these new self-​serve yogurt shops do not offer a cone or cup option. It’s giant bowl or bust.
They wil also mix in your toppings if you’d like, and they even have their own name for their version of the «Blizzard» or the «Spoonbender», but I forget what it was.
I would have liked to see a table or two outside. All the seating was indoors.

Hey.
There’s a TCBY on the Northside.
Which, really, isn’t any closer to me than the one in Glendale, but hey, it’s nice to have options.
TCBY is (now) Self-​Serve Yogurt machines with the typical Toppings Bar. Both the Hot Fudge and Caramel, from their heated pump dispensers, were runny at this one vs. thick at the other TCBY location. The yogurt, however, was good, as TCBY yogurt is.
Note: These are franchised locations, and have different rules, pricing, and loyalty cards. They’re not interchangeable. This location’s loyalty card is for To-​Go PINTS ONLY… Kind of annoying, since To-​Go Fro-​Yo, half melted on the car ride home, then refrozen into YogROCK in my freezer isn’t all that appetizing.
The fruit on this location’s Toppings Bar looked fresh. They have two different «Poppers» flavors and the mochi was fresh, too. They also have Cookie Dough Bites, Brownie Pieces, and Cheesecake Bites. Missing are the freshly cut Pound Cake Squares that I love from the other TCBY location. On the «Candy, Candy, Candy» side, everything was stocked and there were a decent amount of options including cereals, dark chocolate chunks, crushed candies and more.
When comparing the two locations, I prefer the South Denver TCBY to this one, but not so much that, I won’t be stopping by this location when I’m close by.
