Sweet Earth

The idea of ‘fat free’ yogurt scared me a bit, but I honestly could not tell a difference between yogurt w fat. The establishment is very clean, and accommodating. I appreciated the ample amounts of toppings, especially the fresh fruit!
Why the four stars? Well maybe if Mary Sunshine (sarcasm) the cashier had been as gracious and pleasant as the place I would give a 5. Her attitude, and lack of friendliness killed the visit for me. Hopefully it’s just a bad day. :/

I had a late night craving for something sweet, and stumbled across this gem with the help of Unilocal.The place is clean, the staff was friendly, and you could try samples of the froyo. There were also dairy free options!
The flavors tasted natural, and the topping bar was obscene. There were sauces, nuts, candy, fruits, brownies, and pretty much anything I could think of to put on icecream.
I got a portion big enough for 2 people and it only cost me about $ 5, so I’d say that is pretty reasonable for what it is.
I’ll definitely keep this on my radar.

I will find any reason to come here with its guilt-​free treats! Sweet Earth has a wide variety of ever-​changing choices of yogurt with a huge array of toppings to choose from. On a busy night, it does fill up quickly and can get loud with all of the kids that come in, but its still a great place to go.
Customers pay by the ounce, so it can get expensive, but the treats are worth it!

Went here last night. Not as many flavors the usual fro yo place I frequent. With that said, they had a great selection of toppings. I also liked that they had lids for their cups! Only two tables to sit at outside which was a shame because it was so nice out. The price was on par with other fro yo places.

I love this place. The best tasting frozen yogurt I’ve had. I skip the toppings myself because I just like the taste of the fro-​yo & don’t want to add the extra calories. The coconut flavor is great, as are the chocolate and birthday cake flavors. It gets expensive fast though; the dispensers keep dishing it out after you shut off the valve, my only complaint.

I’m surprised I’ve never reviewed Sweet Earth before! I checked in here a few days ago and Unilocal now tells me I have not, so here goes.
I’ve been to this location and to the Royal Oak one a few times. I believe it’s 49c an ounce which is the standard rate in this area. It’s always nice and clean, and the staff is always friendly.
Their flavors are the normal ones you’d find, although lately they’ve been having more «icee”-type ones which are actually very good. Last week they had a mango one, which looks like real froyo but has an Italian ice flavor to it. I’m also not a huge «tart froyo» fan but I tried the Passion Fruit froyo this week, and it was very good. The plain chocolate froyo is great too.

Sweet Earth has all of the standard issue toppings and flavors you’d expect in a Birmingham frozen yogurt shop. What sets it apart from the rest is the patio seating. Here, with your self-​constructed yogurt mountain, you can sit on the sidewalk and enjoy some of that legendary Birmingham people watching. Designer clothes, designer purses, designer dogs, designer families. I can’t get enough. The only sad thing is that Elaine Stritch was nowhere to be found.

Gluten free is bullsh*t unless you have Celiac disease. That being said, this gluten free yogurt is damn sumptuous. Fairly priced, solid toppings. Prefer peanutbutter with crushed peanuts (exhilarating, yes). Once went 8 days str8. I dont believe the zero calorie claim, but it can be low cal depending on your toppings. Froyo is my religion.

I’m a froyo freak and just can’t get it around where I live in Brighton. My husband were out on a date in Birmingham Saturday night and walked by sweet earth on our way back to the car. It was almost 10:30 but since they’re open till 11 on the weekends I was able to satisfy my yogurt tooth before heading home! I got cake batter with a dop of vanilla on top. So delish and I didn’t think it was too sweet, but I do enjoy my sweets. I didn’t look too much at the flavor offerings, I saw what I want and I went for it, but I did notice, basically the standards, choc, pb, vanilla, reg tart etc.
The toppings were pretty good, I’ve seen bigger spreads before, but again they had all the basics. The fruit was super fresh looking other than the berries… they looked a little sad, but it was half an hour before closing time so can’t be too upset about that. And any yogurt place worth their weight will have mochi, which sweet earth did and I loaded it on :)
Definitely hit our after dinner yogurt craving!

A great variety selection of yogurt flavor and toppings. However, I like yogurt to be more toward tart and light side, but the yogurt is more toward sweet and thick side.

Is it just me or has the froyo scene exploded recently? This was my first time visiting Sweet Earth, and I see there’s also one in Royal Oak (and also at Great Lakes Crossing).
I was impressed by the number of toppings and the fresh fruit to pile on your nonfat froyo. The mango flavor was exactly what I was looking for on a humid afternoon.
My advice: skip the fruit. I know it’s healthy but the weight just adds to your price. Plus, it’s too sweet and I like balancing the sweet and salty. My mango topped with some granola, sugar cone crumbles and chocolate chips was under $ 5. My friend’s topped with fruit and more was $ 10.

What’s not to love about Sweet Earth?! You have a wall of froyo options, an island of toppings and around 4 liquid topping choices to add to it all. For my first trip I went with the blackberry, the vanilla and the chocolate which were all pretty impressive on flavor. I feel like this place has something for everyone and it’s obviously a healthier choice over your standard soft-​serve but you will pay a premium. Still it’s a nice change from the ordinary and the store is pretty quaint if you feel like lingering over a cup of your favorite flavors.

How sweet it is! Sweet Earth is truly a favorite little spot of mine. I’m not a «foodie» or a «fro yoggie» so I’m not impressed by all the options that a frozen yogurt place could have. I’m big on aesthetics and presentation. The cleanliness of the place, the options and service. My palette is pretty easy to please.
They have tons of topping that will turn your low fat treat into scale tipping, eye bulging consequences if you’re not careful. They also have fresh fruit available. All in all I like the place. I’m not sure if they have wi-​fi but if they do it would be worth adding a half star.

Fro yo is so hot, it’s cold! Sweet Earth does it well, but they could use a few more interesting choices. How about honeydew? Or just plain coconut instead of the overly sweet piña colada. I thought the mango was a bit too sweet too, but it is called Sweet Earth for a reason, right?
The toppings are plentiful, and they have mochi, yay! That’s an automatic four star in my book. And what’s up with the ginormous bowls?! That’s marketing at it’s finest. At $ 0.49/oz, these sweet treats can get pretty hefty. A quick tip: Pass on the caramel/​chocolate toppings as this will really jack up the price. (Places in DC let you put this on for FREE after you weigh your fro yo). If you are good, you can probably get away with spending just under $ 4.00. (Sorry Sweet Earth marketing VPs.)

They have Non-​Dairy/​Vegan/​Gluten Free choices!!! This was the best place EVER!!!
This place has good yogurt, good toppings and is an overall great place!

Kinda mad I never thought of this idea…
Love this place! My 3 year old can get what ever toppings he wants and I don’t have to hear its an extra .50 for each one… Yay! its all weighed so if you are like me and just want something sweet but not a ton in the bowl, this will be right up your alley! I live way too close to this place! ugh.
Toppings and ice cream selection suits everyone! Endless possibilities!

VEGAN SOFT SERVE! A HOT PEANUT BUTTER PUMP! WHAT!?!
Pretty tasty, good topping selection. I do wish they had some sour «real» yogurt, though.

I have yet to find a pinkberry or yogurtland in the Detroit area. I was walking around Birmingham and I came across this. By the logo I can tell that this is the midwest’s take on self-​serve yogurt. And I don’t think the employees quiet understand the self-​serve mentality yet… because there is a tip jar. YOU DIDN’T MAKE ANYTHING FOR ME. WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME TO TIP YOU?
product wise. the yogurt is less tarty and more creamy. definitely to suit the ones who has never experienced yogurtland.
and why is it so dark in there??? i thought a yogurt place is supposed to be bright colorful and happy…

Pretty good. I’ve been to a few froyo places that are self serve like this.
The décor and set up of the place is very clean and organized, I like it.
The cups are HUGE. Wish they had some different sizes.
Also, the yogurt comes out of the machines in HUGE servings so you’re stuck with more than you wanted (which isn’t necessarily bad).
I loooved that the mango froyo was vegan! Awesome!
The girl who rang us up was super friendly.

This is a new Frozen Yogurt place in Birmingham and it’s top notch!
You get a bowl and you get your own yogurt and toppings. You pay by the ounce. I got a good amount of Cheesecake Vanilla Fat free frozen yogurt with fresh strawberries, peanut butter chips, and hot caramel and it came out to be $ 3.50. That’s cheap for anything in Downtown Birmingham.
They have huge selection of toppings and a great selections of different types of frozen yogurts and Sorbets. Including Vegan, Organic, Non-​Fat, etc.
The staff was very friendly and helps you out on how to get your own and a lot of seating inside with few tables outside.
get some delicious Frozen Yogurt here!!!
