The Yogurt Spot

Houston summers are as muggy as they come. It was only a matter of time before bubble tea and froyo was as commonplace as tacos in this city. The Yogurt Spot thrives on the self serve version, featuring a multitude of machines and various flavors to be priced due to weight. Portion control is the name of the game, meaning one can indulge and pile it on, or keep it small and simple.
The place is clean, modern, and contemporary enough to not be a cheesy teenager hangout and more of a young adult lounge. The machines have changed up from time to time, it seems they used to have more choices. As a result, I’m not sure how consistent they are with keeping popular flavors available. I do appreciate that fact they manage to keep the handles and the drains fairly clean, as it’s never appealing to see crusted froyo at the bottom and a sticky handle.
Prices are solid, not exactly cheap for froyo, but decent enough not to be highway robbery. I liked it when they had more flavors, especially the pecan (combined with green tea is straight money). Toppings are pretty typical, a little mix of fruity, grainy, and sweet. There are times when the froyo is more liquid than solid, which is at times an issue. Customer service is usually nice enough to let you try the machine again, which can’t be said about a lot of other froyo shops.
That said, there is room for improvement. I think a seasonal variety would help their cause as would bringing back some type of the popular flavors that enhanced their profile a couple years ago. Perhaps when they get that back, they can reclaim some of the glory and some of the post-​meal customers of Saigon Plaza.

I stop here occasionally for a yogurt fix. My absolute favorite is the lychee with crushed peanuts and strawberry. I know it’s a weird combination but when you add peanut to anything, it taste a lot better!
It’s nicely decorated inside with a lot of toppings for your yogurt. The selection was limited but most places are. Cashier is friendly. This place have outdoor seating, too! The weather has been perfect so we ended our evening sitting in the front enjoying the frozen yogurt and engaging in conversation.

Brought beignets over from next door to enjoy with our yogurt.
Pros: the mango yogurt is delicious and not too yogurty (good for those who don’t like yogurt, I love yogurt on the other hand), the place is clean, price is reasonable, many topping options, the fruit and granola was fresh, and my two favorite parts: 1.) you can bring in beignets from Chez Beignets next door, 2.) the had a massive tv with Parks and Rec on while I was there– I’ll take Ron Swanson with my yogurt any day.
Cons: the strawberry was drippy and tasted very unnatural/​artificial, I would not recommend this flavor.
Overall we had a good time, and will likely go again next time we get… you guessed it: beignets.

The girl who works there was just sitting on the seats when we came in and then moved.
The flavors were bland and not up to par with other places. The flavors were weak and almost flavorless. Came twice and the flavors were still the same; choices were weak as well.
After eatting the frozen yogurt my sister got sick, and my throat has been acting weird. I will think again before coming here.

Went to Yogurt Spot after having dinner with my friend in China Town. Place was completely empty so I felt awkward about sitting inside, it was a nice day so we sat outside to catch up.
I love the mango and lychee flavors! Had alot of toppings to choose from. I got mango and lychee yogurt with passion fruit and lychee boba and cheese cake bits. The boba was hands down my favorite part! I was expecting it to be like the tapioca balls in drinks but they were like little balls filled with juice that burst when you bit them. Think fruit salmon roe-​ish. Staff was very friendly.
My only complaint is that they close so early. Around 9 the owner or whoever it was that was working came out to take in the chairs so we called it a night. Wish they would be open later as it was a nice place to chill with friends.

Nice clean place with good soft-​serve froyo. Was better when they had more flavors but now only about 8 or so flavors. About half are good, the rest are so-​so.
Now that I’ve found Tutti Fruitti on Montrose, I probably won’t go again unless I happen to be in Chinatown.

Came here after eating crawfish, so the yogurt helped put the fire out of my mouth! The fruit toppings were really fresh so I highly suggest those!
If you eat at crawfish and noodles they have a 10% coupon if you show them your receipt and the coupon!

This place is great.
The flavors don’t really change each time I go (which is every now and then when I’m in the area) but the one’s they do have are superb.
The toppings are yummy and the place looks great inside!
If you are ever tempted to check out that beignet place next door… I suggest you stay away… it’s a lousy place.
Bottom line: If you want affordable and delicious out of the ordinary frozen yogurt flavors… and a great place to hang out, this is most definitely the place for you!

I thought this yogurt was horrendous! I tried the strawberry (worst), taro, mango, and. lychee? all of the tart flavors I tried except for the plain one, and it was horrid! entirely too sweet. no tart. would not recommend if you don’t like sweet yogurt. and also had mango toppings. were NOT good mango chunks, extremely hard and sour :|
but the guy there was really nice and talkative :) good service bad product

The Yogurt Spot has condensed their flavors from 16 down to 8. TYS will continue to serve: Straight Up Vanilla, Chocolate Craving, Cookies and Cream, Red Velvet Luxe, Totally Tart, Mango Madness, Tiki Toro and Dy-​lychee-​Oso.
This is a bittersweet idea. Sweet because they are keeping everyone’s main favorites and bitter because there isn’t a huge variety anymore :(
Come see the newly renovated TYS!

Really cute store. Very modern looking. Great flavors of yogurt and really good topings. My favorite is the red velvet and tart yogurt. They have really good choclate rocks and mochi bits for toppins. The bathrooms were very clean. Big plus for us.
Highly recomend this place for family night out or just for desserts.

Yum Yum Yum, after my awesome massage at the Triple Tree two doors down, and the best Vietnamese sandwich in town right next door I always step over to this Yogurt spot. It is muy delicioso!
My favorite is the Tart, II sprinkle almonds and strawberries on it. I don’t have the urge to try anything else since I’m perfectly content with my boring combination.
Every person that I’ve brought to this spot really enjoys it so 5 Stars goes to them!

Pros–
.39 an ounce
many flavors
lots of toppings
clean
cute cashiers
next to chez beignets
Cons–
loud vietnamese patrons
stuck up cashiers
small inside
liquifying strawberries
next to chez beignets (not a mistake)

Located on Bellaire in Saigon Plaza, THIS is a frozen-​yogurt place I can really get behind!
At Yogurt Spot, YOU are given the freedom to craft your own fro-​yo masterpiece. So you want red velvet, cookies & cream, cheesecake, and cake batter in one cup? You can do it! If you want mochi (always), chunks of mango, chocolate chips, and strawberries to compliment your self-​served yogurt, then you can have that.
The staff is friendly. The place is clean. And, upon request, you can get small cups to sample the flavors before you grab a cup.
Basically, you are at the helm of this dessert starship. Where it goes and what you do is totally up to you, Captain Fro-​yo. Engage!

This is the place to be in Houston on those HOTTT summer days! I never knew frozen yogurt can taste this good and lower my cholesterol at the same time! It is VERY addictive! This is not the typical yogurt that is rich and thick. The Yogurt Spots yogurt is very light and refreshing and the best part is that they offer many varieties of toppings! Everything imaginable!
They have a range of different yogurt flavors such as a blueberry infused yogurt aptly name Burrberry which you can top off with kiwi, strawberry, Cap’n Crunch, coconut, blueberry, Fruity Pebbles, cookies ‘n cream… etc. My favorite combo is NY Cheesecake topped with fresh strawberry and kiwi. This is definitely a prefect dessert!
The price is 39 cents per ounce which is definitely not bad at all for this yummy treat that is your own creation! For those of you who are lactose intolerant they have a variety of flavors for you too!

What to on Christmas day?
EAT, EAT, and EAT some more. After lunch my friends wanted to meet up for some dessert. I suggested Yogurt Spot since the one in Austin is my favorite FRO-​YO place and I was already in Alief with the family.
This place is not as good as the one in Austin but it’s still better than most of the places in Houston, I would put the swirl in the village slightly above this place, mainly due to the location of it.
They offer self serve which is a MUST in my opinion. There was about 12 flavors? The toppings area was set up very smart. The toppings are all closed off and you must remove the lid to get your toppings. Yes it might be a pain but it keeps thing a lot more sanitary.

Definitely the best «yogurt spot» in Houston because of the good prices and options. Swirll barely has any options and is way overpriced– but Yogurt Spot is pretty far for most people. They always have about 10 options and so many toppings/​sauces to choose from. If you don’t know which one to get, just ask for a tasting cup and you can try all the flavors.

The fro-​yo here seems so much less tart than Swirll’s and Berripop’s!
That’s why a lot of people DON’t like it, but that’s why I like it even more… so much better w/​o the tart!
Haha I should just abandon this health craze and stick with conventional ice cream. Chocolate ice cream.

YUM! This is what fro-​yo place should be like. It’s self-​serve yogurt spot where you pay by the ounce. You can pick from a variety of sweet and tart flavors (my fav was the pecan flavor) and then top off your yogurt with toppings ranging from fresh fruit to cereal. It’s only 39 cents an ounce so you can get a big treat for less than $ 5 easily.
One great thing is this place is decorated so cute. Yeah, it kinda copies Pinkberry with the glass mosaic tiles but who doesn’t like it? The wall also has random facts about yogurt written across the wall (reduces cholesterol… increases your metabolism… cancer reducing… good for your heart… etc) and makes you feel good about yourself (though in actuality, you dumped a bunch of chocolate on your yogurt).
So glad I found this place. Definitely the best yogurt place I’ve found in Houston!

Bigger than Swirll, plenty of flavors, tasty yogurt, nice and clean décor, and cheaper too — at 39 cents an ounce. And you go around filling up your own cup with the exact amount of yogurt your heart (or tummy) desires!
On top of that, there’s «happy hour» prices, student discount and free wi-​fi. I can imagine this place as a type of place where people could study.
What more could I ask for?
