Yogurtland
Driving on University Ave last month, I noticed a new store that took over what used to be Volcano Joe’s across the street from the University of Hawaii. There were a TON of people too, and it was around 9 p.m. So I decided to investigate.
The concept is quite simple. You choose two different cup sizes (both are decently big), and then you go to one of the MANY yogurt stations (they look like soft serve ice cream stations) and serve yourself whatever combination of flavors you want.
Take advantage of the free sample cups by the register, so you can taste all the flavors before you commit to one. I happen to like the pistachio, and the green tea tastes like green tea ice cream. The mango yogurt was good as well. The plain yogurt flavor was kind of tart, but was delicious nonetheless.
Once you’ve stocked up on yogurt, head over to the next station, the topping station, where you can find a LOAD of fresh fruit (kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, mango, etc), sprinkles, chocolate, etc., as well as condensed milk and an array of liquid toppings. Finally, you reach the cashier where you weigh your item, and are charged 39 cents per ounce. My 7 ounce yogurt mixture, cost about $2.50.
Pretty much all the flavors are nonfat, and they have a bunch of flavors you wouldn’t think would taste good as a frozen yogurt. Some flavors are taro, pistachio, green tea, peanut butter, and New York cheesecake.
This is one of the best places to cool off on a hot day! For more information about Yogurtland, visit their website at http://www.yogurt-land.com/.
