Yogiberry

I came in with my co-​worker because he wanted some frozen yogurt. The restaurant is small, but neat. I think the staff could have been friendlier, but they were okay.
I did not get any yogurt, but was surprised I was not even offered a sample cup since I was standing right there.
The flavor choices were limited, but they serve snow cream here ($ 3.75 for small) so I may return.

They guard the sample cups with their lives in here. The guy came all the way out the back and gave me a small drop. Not sure if that’s management or what, but its very annoying and cheap. You’re better off going to the yogurt place at the Rio around the corner.

So, first of all… as soon as I walked in, the place smelled like a freshly cleaned pool. I actually really like that smell, so I was pleased by that; it makes me think the location is well-​maintained and clean. Also, they had flat screen TV displays for the flavors. Two were soldout, so that was disappointing but I did get to try the Thai iced tea flavor which was delicious! It definitely tastes just like Thai iced tea. I added boba as my topping. I love the sensation of the fruity pearls bursting in my mouth. So good!
Good experience. I’ll be back!

So I never write a review, but after a delicious dinner at Asian9, we took my daughter for some ice cream. First, the flavors were not great and then when we decided on one, their register was not working. We ended up leaving without our ice cream and a disappointed child!

If you’re looking for good snow cream, go to Snowbots. I was intrigued by the snow cream on the menu here and tried the mango flavor in a regular size. I normally get toppings, but the extra 50 cents charged for each additional topping seemed excessive, especially because the snow cream comes in such a tiny cup. The mango tasted very artificial — you might have more luck with other flavors, but I guarantee you’ll get more bang for your buck at Snowbots.
It should be noted that running a self-​serve frozen yogurt store is not exactly a difficult task (there’s really only 2 different things on the menu — self-​serve yogurt and snow cream), but the lone worker here on a busy Sunday afternoon was managing an awful job. She seemed like she had just walked in off of the street and had absolutely no idea what she was doing. She forgot orders, was terrible at communication, and couldn’t understand/​answer customer questions. Several fellow customers expressed frustration with her ineptitude.
The snow cream menu also definitely needs to be fixed. A regular size a $ 3.75 and a large is $ 5.25, but any toppings are charged 49 cents per ounce? When I asked, the worker had to phone her boss and clarified that additional toppings were 49 cents per topping, so getting 2 toppings on your snow cream would be an extra 98 cents.

When you enter the store, there are cute table for two’s along the wood brick patterned wall which is parallel to the toppings bar leading to the cashier. This week, they featured flavors such as Taro, Mango, Original, and Lychee. The Taro was extremely watery so I got Lychee instead. I was disappointed they didn’t have Green Tea or Coffee flavored frozen yogurt or mochi toppings. My favorite toppings are Coconut Jelly, Maraschino Cherry, Pineapple, Mango, Kiwi, and Honey!

The yogurt is on point but don’t waste your time with the toppings. This is a big disappointment because their location in Bethesda always has fresh delicious fruit. However the Down Town Crown location has some of the oldest fruit I’ve seen. the strawberries were literally rotting in their bins. Oh and the Moshi was crusty AF :/

I was pretty disappointed.
After a wonderful dinner at Asia Nine, my dad and I headed over to Yogiberry for some yogurt amazingness. I headed over to pick up a bucket to put my yogurt in and filled up on a buncha flavors. I topped it with mochi and boba and checked out.
The flavors weren’t very memorable. Some of them just tasted like regular yogurt with some sugar.
The kicker for me was that, when I had some mochi, it wasn’t sweet and pillow-​y like mochi usually is. No, it was rock solid. It was after I’d swallowed a few pieces that I noticed the mochi was yellow-​ish. Ew.
Later, my stepmom came to meet up with us and had only the taro flavor. I thought, «Taro? That’s, like, potatoes,» but then I tried it. It was everything I wanted and more. So at least I found my new love in sweet flavors, but I don’t think I’ll have it here. I could still taste the yogurt’s sourness through it.
If you want froyo, it’s better to just drive over to 16 Handles.

Located next to Chop’t in Downtown Crown.
Parking garage behind restaurants. Lots of different parking garages. This one is behind Chop’t, La Madeline, Asia Nine, and between and behind Venti Tre and Smashburger.
I have been waiting to find the exact address of this location and still have not seen it on Yogiberry’s facebook or website. It just says it’s in Downtown Crown so I have decided to make a Unilocal page for it without the exact address.
I went a few times before I actually could try what I have been waiting for. the Snow Cream. I knew it was open and went Thursday night around 8 and it was closed. Then I tried going Friday afternoon around 1:20 to try the Snow Cream but the girl there did not know how to use the Snow Cream machine and did not even know it was on the menu. Apparently she was the manager from another store. So I talked to her and she made a few phone calls and she tells me someone will come in 20 – 30 minutes to teach her how to use this, but since I don’t have time to wait 30 mins I told her I’d be back later in the day. So I decided to take a picture of their store hours. It said Store Hours: Sun-​Thurs 12:00pm-9:00pm and Fri-​Sat 12:00pm-10:00pm. I was talking to a few friends that night and told them I was going to go to Yogiberry before it closed and they asked me when it closed so I told them 10pm and told them I even took a picture of the store hours. So I got there around 9:30 and what do you know? IT’S CLOSED!!! So then I had to hurry up and call/​text my friends that were on their way to not come cus it’s closed. I was very disappointed because they put specific hours up and I told the girl I’d be back (yeah, not everyone who says they’ll be back comes back but knowing I took a picture of the store hours and did not bother to tell me they may close early if it’s quiet). Anyways, I felt bad and was a little upset but decided to give them a try the next day. Went back Saturday afternoon and told the same girl that I came and it was closed and she just told me they decided to close early cus there wasn’t much traffic and I told her that I took a picture of the hours and that they should’ve post hours if they cannot follow their own hours and should write that they may close early depending on traffic and she did not apologize and said that’s what she was told. If you are in a managerial position for a store I think you should apologize for the mishap but this just made me more disappointed (She was really friendly but doesn’t seem to know much about customer service because she clearly remembered me coming in to try the Snow Cream). I then asked if the Snow Cream was milk based and she had no idea! She did not know anything!!! I thought she was getting trained on how to use the machine and would be a little more educated on the thing she sells. How can she sell the product to customers? MIND BLOWN! So at this point I’m like it’s probably cream or milk based since it’s called Snow Cream. She is friendly and let’s me and my sister try some flavors. I decide to try original thinking it’s like the West Coast and would be just milk based but NOPE. It taste like froyo melted and refrozen in a cylindrical form. I try it and OMG it’s slimy and not something I would want to get. So my sister and I try the mango and that is still slimy and not tasty. We try the chocolate and that was the best so we just buy that and that also tasted slimy and like a fudgesicle melted and frozen. I would NOT get the Snow Cream unless they changed the way they make it. TRY IT BEFORE YOU GET IT!
Cute interior! Love the colorful doors on the wall. I think they need to work on training employees and work on better customer service.
