TCBY

Went here last night to find the placed closed up. For good.

I used to go to TCBY all the time. It’s a little out of my way now but decided to stop by the Briarcliff Rd store. What a disappointment. The vanilla softserve yogurt had no flavor. On top of that the person working acted like I was putting her out by coming in there. I ordered a topping on it and it was such a small amt. I’m definitely going to try some of the newer yogurt places in town.

Roaches persist. Just ask my wife, since she was just attacked by one. We left immediately and will NOT return.
We were looking for a frozen yogurt place and TCBY was right around the corner. We didn’t feel like driving to Buckhead where all the fancier, newer joints are. You’d think a place with «The Country’s Best Yogurt» would have some pretty good stuff right? Think again. It’s watery, LOADED with sugar (my teeth hurt) and kinda lacks flavor. While TCBY may have been da bomb 20 years ago, it is less than mediocre. If you can’t make it to one of the newer joints, skip yourself the grossness and disappointment and just buy a pint from the grocery store. You’ll be glad you did.

Like them on Facebook to see their daily flavors!
My favorite, for decades now, is the white chocolate mousse with chocolate chip cookie dough bites. It is perfect. Hubby got chocolate cake batter, which was sugar free and fat free and actually tasted great. Good job TCBY. I can’t wait for them to have the Greek yogurt full-​time because it is awesome.
This location is a bit tired and needs a face-​lift in a major way. I recently patroned the self-​serve TCBY location in Peachtree City, which is 10 million times nicer than this locale. At least the products are the same.
My only frustration was that I paid for, and forgot about, a Groupon with this TCBY. They should have honored what I paid for the Groupon, but instead told me that since it expired at the end of 2011, it was tough toenails. I’ve always been able to redeem Groupons for the value I paid for them so maybe this was just a mal-​informed employee.

The strawberry ice-​cream (it’s really yogurt — but you can’t tell) has the perfect texture (I’m also skeptical that its healthy because it tastes too good and is rich rather than watery/​fake sugary), and topped with graham cracker pieces and fresh strawberries (no sugar in the syrup), I’m hooked. Beats Menchie’s for a sweet craving.

I’ve been a big fan of TCBY ever since they brought vanilla chocolate swirl samples to my second grade class back in the 80s. However, as for this location, they will never get my business again and here’s why.
About a week ago my husband and I went here to get some yogurt. We had just paid and grabbed a table when a woman came out of the bathroom saying that there was a roach in there. What came next truly shocked me. One of the employees responded that they have had an on-​going roach problem and that management has not done anything about it. The employee asked the woman to complain about the problem to TCBY corporate so that it might finally get resolved. The employee then asked this woman if she wanted to order yogurt saying that the roaches aren’t in the yogurt.
I was taking my first (and soon to be last) bites of yogurt when all of this went down. Completely disgusted, my husband and I trashed the yogurt and approached the register to get our money back. The employee gave me a weird look and asked what we wanted. I told her that we wanted our money back because we didn’t want to eat their yogurt after learning about the roach problem. She told me she had no power to refund the money and gave me some attitude about there not being roaches in the yogurt and toppings, to which I responded, «Yeah, because everyone knows that when you have a roach problem it’s only confined to one room, and they don’t like food anyway.» Give me a break. Totally disgusting.
Just thought people should know this. Eat at your own risk.

I hadn’t been to TCBY in years and didn’t know they had a ton of hand dipped yogurt flavors which taste just like ice cream, but less calories. I love peanut butter and chocolate and the PB delight (think that was the name) was so good!!! I tried the cookies and cream and that was really good too.
Zoe was our scooper and had a fun personality.
I’ll definitely be looking for TCBY’s on the road more often :)

I am a sad, sad little Unilocaler tonight. It was hard to even bring myself to write this review. A place I once loved — with a passion bordering on the extreme, mind you — sorely disappointed me tonight!
I needed — yes, needed — frozen yogurt. Not having left the house all day, this was serious business to motivate enough to drive to my local TCBY. Over the years, this one and the one on Roswell Rd have served me well. Almost like ice cream but better for you. Great waffle cones. Pints and quarts to-​go. Friendly people. I needed to pay a long overdue return visit!
I placed my order for a waffle cone with chocolate and vanilla swirl (tonight’s treat) plus a take-​home quart of swirl. I barely registered that the menu board said «99% fat-​free» for both of my chosen flavors.
This was my big mistake — and the reason that I may never go to my dear TCBY again.
They have changed their recipes! Blasphemers!
You see, they used to have 96% fat free flavors. And, based on what I had tonight — that seemingly minor 3% makes all the difference. Gone is the luscious creaminess that makes you think it’ll be ok if you never have ice cream again, just their frozen yogurt. Instead, their new recipe is that kinda tinny-​hinted, too-​fake, «diet» stuff!
*Sigh*. I guess I just wasn’t supposed to have frozen yogurt after all (and, no, I didn’t even eat my waffle cone’s worth!).

Mmm… I am a longtime fan of TCBY. It is just so yummy. I love that you can eat a pretty decent size of their soft serve and not feel too bad about it.
I just went to this location tonight and noticed that they have a little cards that you can fill out with your name, email address, and favorite flavor and they will email you when they make your favorite flavor. Cool idea, huh?

Much like Elizabeth S — TCBY and I go way, way back. Many reasons to love.
For one, they’re a forerunner in the acronym as business name category (I think somewhere along the way their marketing folk dropped the original «The Country’s Best Yogurt» tag line, counting on their adoring fans to spread the word).
And here’s all the info you need to pretend like you’re a TCBY pro: white chocolate mousse soft serve is amazing, the «Shiver» is their answer to DQ’s Blizzard, and anyone will near-​worship you if you get them a yogurt cake from here for their birthday.

I’ve been a long-​time fan of the ol’ TCBY, and I was delighted to find that there’s one here after living in several cities that are TCBY-​less. Check out the seasonal soft-​serve flavors such as pumpkin, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a coconut soft serve day. I haven’t had the opportunity to enjoy coconut soft serve in a long, long time…

No joke, this is quite possibly the country’s best yogurt. I used to live near this location and my friends and I would frequently drop by. The great thing about TCBY is the selection. Girls on diets can tell themselves they are being healthy as they order the low calorie soft serve (then add in crushed oreos and and chocolate sauce). The low calorie stuff is available, and so are all the delicious toppings, enabling you to order a fanastic creation.
My only wish is that Rebecca hadn’t forced them to get rid of the punch cards. Sigh. (see first post)

I used to call this my second home. Well, not really, but it came pretty close. What happened to the frozen yogurt craze of a few years back? Why can’t there be more TCBYs in this city?
TCBY: The Country’s Best Yogurt. I swear they had to stop doing punch cards because I went through too many of them.
