Yoforia Highland

Today was my first time seeing a Yoforia in a long time. I used to frequent the one near MIlton as it was one of my favorite froyo spots at the beginning of the craze.
I wasn’t used to seeing so many choices beyond the original flavor, pomegranate, and green tea (which I missed). I
like taro in general, so I chose that, fererro rocher, and pineapple. I sprinkled blackberries and mochi over the taro, chopped heath bar and oreo over the ferrero, and finally, some mango and popping fruity boba (maybe mango?) on the pineapple. it was the perfect combination for me. It felt like a serendipitous moment looking over and finding a froyo spot tucked next to The Family Dog I dined at just before.
Yoforia definitely remains at the top of the froyo chain.

Though I am a Menchie’s lover for their more rotating flavors, I do miss Yoforia every now and again. It doesn’t hurt that they have this hottie named Holli working there now. My favorites are mango, coconut (I love anything coconut), taro (tastes like the popcorn jelly bean, dark chocolate, and original flavors. They have Weigh Wednesday, in which if you guess the weight of your yogurt to the decimal point, you get the yogurt for free!

Atlanta has been a little slow with its adoption of self-​serve froyo places so I was excited to check this place out. Froyo is one of my guilty pleasures!
This place has 12 different flavors. On the day that I went, the flavors were original, vanilla, pomegranate, mango, key lime, cookies and cream, dark chocolate, cheesecake and a few others. Overall, I thought the flavors all were pretty basic and tasted fairly sweet compared to other places. And they do not have machines that automatically swirl the flavors together… the little things matter!!!

I was also disappointed that none of the froyo labels contained nutritional facts. Hey, I already know it’s bad, I just like to know how bad it is LOL!
This place has an assortment of toppings like most froyo places but did not have some of the basic things like whipped cream, waffle cone pieces, real hot fudge, and peanut butter sauce. Yet this place had condensed milk, which I don’t understand!!!
I also thought the place was a little pricey. I have never paid this much for froyo.
Place was fairly clean, which is always a great thing.
Overall, I was completely underwhelmed by this place and although I love froyo, I won’t be back! The search for great froyo in Atlanta continues…

It’s been over three years since my last review of Yoforia Highland. Changes to this location since my original review:
1. They’re self-​serve now. (Yes, I know this happened a long time ago.)
2. They offer 12 different flavors.
3. Froyo is priced at $ 0.49 per ounce.
The 12 flavors available on my last visit were:
Original
Pomegranate
Pistachio
Cookies ‘n Crème
Taro
Raspberry Sorbet
Vanilla Bean
Dark Chocolate
Green Apple
Watermelon
Ferrero Rocher
Almond Butter
My favorite flavors continue to be Original tart and Taro. I’m still a big fan of Yoforia’s smooth/​slightly icy consistency. I also like the Cookies ‘n Crème flavor. The Pistachio isn’t so great. One of my friends said it «tastes like dog food.» Ask for some sample cups and try the flavors for yourself.
Toppings include a 6×3 grid (18 toppings total) of assorted nuts, chocolates, cookies, and cereals, condensed milk and other syrups, and a 2×4 grid (8 toppings total) of fruit: pineapple, Mandarin oranges, strawberries, blackberries, kiwi, banana, unripe mango, and light red/​pink cherries. Overall, the topping selection isn’t bad, but I’m a surprised there aren’t more considering the increased competition these days.
Indoor and outdoor seating is available and there’s ample free parking in lots that flank both sides of the building.
Yoforia Highland will always hold a special place in my memory as being one of my first Atlanta froyo experiences.

I have been going to Yoforia for a while and I consider it the best of the yogurt places. The taste of the yogurt (especially the plain) is superior to the other places. The toppings are a little better as well, although recently, the fruit has been sort of old and mushy. They do a pretty good job rotating flavors but keep the good ones. Need to bring back the green tea flavor.

My in-​laws are regulars here and we almost always stop in when we’re with them. It’s a self-​serve place so you can choose at your own pace, and the portions are as big as you want them to be! And they give you taster cups if you ask.
Non-​fat and low-​fat yogurt in lots of tasty flavors (my favorites are taro, peach and almond butter) and they always have delicious seasonal flavors. They have tasty toppings too like coconut, Oreos, Heath bars, and even Fruity Pebbles. There’s also delicious fresh fruit and mochi. It’s clean and small and just a nice place to visit, and you can bring the kids! Even bring the dog in the summer, because there’s outdoor seating as well as indoor.

I ask myself, will I be able to put into words the love I feel for Yoforia? Of all the ATL Yo-​Fos, I consider the highland one my home base. I visit it a minimum of once a week (I start to get disoriented and weird if I don’t, its not pretty). I love that something so delicious can be made with such great, organic, and local ingredients like organic milk, stoneyfield yogurt, and fruit cut fresh daily.
My favorite «standard» flavor is the ferrero rocher! YUM TOWN. The seasonal flavors I think are big hits or real bad (that being said I think someone must like my not-​so-​favorites if they keep them around). My all time favorite 3 seasonal flavors are Almond Butter (in stores now), Pumpkin Spice, and Blueberry Cheese Cake. Make sure to ask for a sample cup to see what you like before you accidentally fill your cup to the brim with something that doesn’t suit your fancy.
I think this Yoforia has the best parking situation. Between the huge lot next door and street parking, you can always snag a spot with ease compared to the Monroe location that can be a little challenging or the Howell Mill deck that can be a little chaotic. Also make sure to download the app for their customer rewards program to rack up your points and get some discounts along the line.

Easily my fav. Yoforia in Atlanta. I’ve been a fan of this place since the past 2 years. After having been to the Sandy Spring and Brookhaven branches, I can safely say this is the best Yoforia, both in terms of flavors and location. Love the N Highland setting and the different flavors they carry from the other yoforias. My personal fav being Choc hazelnut, Taro Choc, and Strawberry. The only complaint I have is that I don’t like their Mango or Pomerganate or some of the other non-​conventional fruity flavors. I prefer Pinkberry over this. Hence the 1 star deduction !
On the company website (press section), the CEO explains the way these guys use organic milk and stonyfield yogurt and mixing the fruity-​natural flavors locally and in individualized proportions at every store (raising costs but catering to local tastes). They keep on trying new flavors and enhancing taste, and I like evolving eateries and places which CARE about people and customers. I Prefer it over Yogli mogli and this will remain y fav yo-​fo place !

Pretty chill location, with staff that have no problem handing you a few sample cups to try out the yogurt. Love the plentiful seating, both inside and out… classic people watching goodness with a spoonful of healthy sweets.
Like most yogurt shops, they have their staple flavors and flavors they cycle in and out. In my case I got the pomegranate as a base, coconut, mango, pineapple, original flavored yogurt on top, and topped off with a few mochi cubes. That’s some good stuff!

Self-​serve (meaning get as much as you want!), organic, tart-​done-​right frozen yogurt. Do I need to say more? Out of the frozen yogurt places that I’ve been to — and I must say, I’m quite the connoisseur when it comes to yogurt — Yoforia always gets it right.
My all-​time favorite is their Original Tart flavor. Some people prefer the creamy tastes of their all-​natural vanilla bean, forerro rocher’s chocolate hazelnut, or even taro, but I am a huge fan of their perfectly tart and creamy original yogurt. Honestly, it’s the best one around! Their tart fruit flavors, like mango and pomegranate, are also very delicious :)
As for their toppings: always fresh fruit, nuts arn’t stale, variety of jellies and boba. Yoforia is my prime go-​to for frozen yogurt, though I wish it wasn’t so out of the way for me T-​T
But that’s not like it stops me from going so often!

I’m a rabid froyo fan, and I have to say, this place is AMAZING! The most surprising element was the Ferraro Rocher flavor – oh my god! It was amazing, even when paired with Taro (I can’t resist, it’s my favorite flavor ever). Of course my beloved mochi was there, too.
Another thing I hadn’t seen before was the can of sample cups, sitting free on the counter for customers to use. Fantastic! I didn’t have to wait for anyone to give me a cup or watch me figure out what flavor I wanted (pretty much all of them). Here’s a first for me – the TART yogurt was tasty! I’ve never liked it, but one taste of the tart pomegranate had me hooked.
Oh yeah, and it’s organic.
Can’t wait to go back!

It’s now self serve and has all kinds of non-​fat choices. Do you know what this means? I no longer have to pay $ 5 to get a bit of «healthy» dessert in my tummy. Fucks yeah!

After living there for 2.5 years, I never thought I’d find myself wishing for the Los Angeles price of anything, but Yoforia has made that come true. FORTY-​NINE CENTS AN OUNCE!!! And not a sign anywhere to indicate as much. That’s no accident. They should really rethink that. Repeat customers are much better than shell-​shocked ones. (The thirty cents an ounce places do amazing business, I’ve seen the sales awards.)
That said, their yogurt is tasty, their topping selection is decent, but not stellar, and the staff was friendly.

I was totally one of Yoforia’s first customers. I had been waiting for a yogurt place like this to open after having tried Pinkberry up in NYC. I didn’t like it my first time, only because I wasn’t prepared for it. I guess I thought it would taste like vanilla or regular plain yogurt based on it being a white-​colored froyo. Know when you pick up a cup of Sprite but it ends up being water and then it’s gross even though water doesn’t actually gross you out? Yeah, one of those.
Anyway, the second time I had it, I was prepared, and I loved it! Tastes just like the little Asian yogurt drinks. Go figure! (Ha.)
There are so many yogurt places in Atlanta now. I’ve tried Juicy Green, Yogurberry, Red Mango, Tour Les Jours, Menchies, etc., and even though some of these are pretty good (except for Menchies, coughcough,) Yoforia is consistently at the top of the Asian froyo list. I used to only get either the original (white) or pomegranate, but the list of froyo flavors has really shot up (mango, blueberry, pineapple, Ferrero Rocher, taro, etc etc). I also like that they’ve switched to self-​serve even though sometimes it can be quite dangerous.
I tend to stick to fresh fruit toppings + mochi (chewy Asian rice cake balls) but I like that they’ve added lychees. I just wish they weren’t canned syrup lychees :(
Yoforia is a healthier alternative to most frozen desserts. Delicious during all four seasons! I also just want to say that I love my pink «I love Yoforia» t-​shirt. Thanks, Yoforia!

Tried the pineapple flavor this weekend. YUM!!!
We pretty takeout from Yoforia every time we visit Atlanta. It’s consistently good, convenient and tasty.

Came here today for some dessert since it was reccomended by a friend I was hanging out with at the time, and we wanted some dessert. I actually looked up Yoforia before coming here and they seemed to have pretty positive reviews already, and now I can see why!
They have basic flavors, and on top of that a variety of different flavors like pomegranate and taro flavors. Then for toppings they have fruit that looks REALLY fresh, which is awesome. And if you don’t like fruit they also have the staple oreo cookies, graham crackers, M&M’s, and the like. A good point to make though is that they’re not stingy with their toppings at all, which I actually really appreciate.
Also, the free samples upon request are nice, since I’d never heard of these (really unique) flavors before coming here. Not to mention the locale is perfectly clean and well kept.

Discount with Emory ID/​probably other colleges/​schools are fine too.
Not sure how much — might be 10%, but I know I get at least a few cents off!

I am a self-​confessed fro-​yo addict. Having had Pinkberry in LA, nothing can compare, but Yoforia comes close.
The fro-​yo here is a little more tarte than Pinkberry’s and that may be a turn-​off for some people including my honey Stevie-​B, but the fro-​yo here is Delicious nonetheless.
My favorite combination is half Mango and half original topped with strawberry, kiwi, and fruity pebbles.

After speaking with Yoforia owner, Jun Kim, I noticed Yoforia’s genuine effort to improve the portion of toppings on its yogurt. It was a huge success.
Now, Yoforia covers its fro-​yo with fresh toppings, as it should be done. The fruit is no longer merely on the sides. Today I noticed that all the other customers also received LARGE portions of toppings. I have attached some photos, as reference.
Excellent and outstanding customer service. I am truly impressed by Yoforia’s effort to be better than its fro-​yo competitors.
I recommend the blueberry and pomegranate yogurts — perfectly tart, light, and sweet. The taro fro yo at Yoforia has a slightly richer consistency and stronger taro flavor than Yogurberry’s taro fro yo. I also enjoy the original tart flavor, which is more tart than all the other fro yo competitors.

I love frozen yogurt and I love the options and flavors Yoforia has to offer. There are about 3 or 4 locations I think in Georgia. The venue is bright, simple, and clean. Chairs aligned against the wall are are «retro» looking and unique. Bright colors light up the room with funky lights. Pomegranate is my favorite. But there are also other flavors.
The only thing I disapprove about Yoforia is the price. A large is nearly $ 8 – 9. I can get 2 pints of ice cream with the money. We are not eating yogurt made of gold and sprinkled on top with diamonds.

I’m giving Yoforia a 3 (the 4 stars is to average out my previous rating of 2).
The hubs & I visited Yoforia together this past weekend. We stood for a while deliberating on which yogurt flavor to share (we decided we were going to split a medium instead of each getting our own). The server was nice enough to offer us samples to help solve our indecision. We tried the original, pomegranate and dark chocolate (a special offering just in March). The original flavor is still way too tart in my opinion. The dark chocolate reminded me of icy watered-​down chocolate.
So we got the pomegranate yogurt with mochi rice balls, blueberries and mango toppings. The pomegranate yogurt was pretty yummy. It’s not too tart (unlike the original). My only gripes are that it doesn’t really taste like pomegranate (more like raspberry), and it was more icy than I’d like (compared to pinkberry’s yogurt, which is super creamy).
The toppings were good. The blueberries were surprisingly fresh tasting and not sour. The mochi balls were a little soft, but still had a good chew consistency to them. The mango was pretty sweet, but I think the chunks could’ve been cut up smaller.
All in all, not a bad place. Not sure we’ll be coming back that regularly since $ 5 for a cup of dessert is a little expensive. But if I ever crave frozen yogurt, I guess this is the best we’ll get in the ATL. (pinkberry, ever plan to move out here?)
Oh, and yay for 10% off if you have a student ID. Saved us a few dimes. :P
