Yogurt Shack

I love the yogurt shack style of selling cold treats.
Not sure why others are bagging on the service at this location, I’ve never had issues. Always offered a free sample, and been greeted. It is self serve, which to me is the appeal.
My only complaint is that the flavors get rotated too much. I find a flavor I love and it’s gone the next week.
English Toffee needs to stay!

I used to frequent the one in Concord before it changed to Sweet Tart, so since they just opened the one here in Brentwood and being I happened to be close by, I figured they were worth checking out.
I have really always loved the thick, creamy consistency of there yogurt (at the other locations) and found most of there flavors sweet and extremely tasteful however, from my last few visits to the location in Danville and now with my most recent visit to this location, I have been slightly disappointed.
Located in the Safeway shopping center, off Balfour and Fairview — This place is an average decent size, with a decent amount of seating as well as with outside seating as well.
The one thing that always bothered me with most Yogurt Shack locations was the very mundane, dull service that I always seemed to encounter however, on my visit here today, I was pleasantly surprised on how sweet, upbeat and friendly the girl helping me was (unusually friendly for a High school girl) which was quite refreshing.
Anyhow, they have about 6 flavors they serve
Pineapple — Literally the worst pineapple I have ever tried, and I was really in the mood for Pineapple– I can’t even explain it, it was just bad.
Blueberry — Was good, not the best though, creamy and pretty identical to the flavor of blueberry though not as fresh tasting as I would like.
Tart — This was surprisingly good — Very settlely sweet, tart but not overbearingly tart– with a good creamy consistency
Vanilla Crème — I still think they have one of the best Vanilla flavors around and it’s incredibly rich and creamy
Cookies and Cream — Did not try this time
Fruit Punch — Did not try (I just don’t like fruit punch)
Chocolate — Not a chocolate yogurt fan
I got a small of half Tart and blueberry with blueberries for toppings for $ 2.35
I do love the rich, creamy consistency of most of there yogurt — There Marshmallow (at the other location that I have tried) is like heaven, and again There Vanilla Crème is one of my favorites however, when it comes to fruit flavors, there’s just something missing– it lacks the freshness and quality compared to other’s.
This place is ok, nice service, they do have the smaller cups available as well which is nice, but I really can’t say I will be back anytime soon.

We had high hopes — Pizazz was getting pretty bad — and their yogurt was powdery and melting — then SHACK came along with Thick creamy yogurt — great at first — but now it is getting BAD — and they keep FALSE Promising about getting in the TART for my wife — they are LOSING business to Pizazz which owns brentwood right now
Get the TART — GET better help at the counter — forget people manning the machines — man the registers
Free yogurt card is NOT free — it is a free small squirt of yogurt — needs to be a FREE full yogurt like ALL the others in the area
Cant come here with the Danville Attitude and get loyalty if you don’t know your customers and keep failing to produce on your promises

Just opened weekend of May 1^st. This is one of many yogurt shops that have invaded the area.
Breakdown of flavors:
Orange crème — came out really icy. I didn’t like at all.
Vanilla crème — really creamy. Enjoyable.
Strawberry — eh… wasn’t too bad, but could’ve been better
Irish mint — this was probably my favorite of all. Mint wasn’t overpowering. Very enjoyable.
Service was alright. About as good as it gets from young boys in board shorts straight out of high school. There’s definitely room for improvement at this location as far as getting the mixes right. The froyo seemed to come out of the machines way too fast.
I guess I would give this location another try if I was in the area again.
