Berry Nutty

2 stars = Meh, I’ve experienced better.
Sounds about right.
I went here before they brought froyo closer to USC + before I started becoming more addicted to the wonders of Yogurtland… but haven’t been back since. I heard they changed the name, but I don’t think that could really save them… They’ve have to do more than that.
Let’s compare:
Yogurtland’s 30 cents VERSUS 38 cents per ounce at Nutty Berry
16 flavors VERSUS 8 flavors
A gazillion fruits, sweets + syrups for toppings VERSUS ½ that amount
Original décor VERSUS one that copied it to look almost the same
… need I say more?
The only thing Berry Nutty had going for it was being closer to USC + having waffle cones in their cups. That was cool, but it wasn’t cool enough. I think once people realized that self-​serve froyo at Yogurtland was oh-​so-​much cooler than these other small copy-​cat locations, there really wasn’t much to make them continue going to places like this… especially with other dessert places like Mr. Coffee + Café Jack just yards away as alternative options.

This place is called yogo zone now. The yogurt is good, the service is great, but the topping service station is ridiculous. Go eat here, they look like they’re in need of some business.

at 38 cents per ounce, it’s a bit pricier than the other yogurt places i’ve been to.
My bf said he likes this place more than all the yogurt places but I was whatever about it. They don’t have a large variety of flavors or toppings so you just have to work with what they have, but they do have cups with waffles inside. Can’t say that i loved or hated the place. it’s simply «a-​ok»

How can you not go to a place with a name like «Berry Nutty»?
When we entered I was confused, I didn’t see a menu or flavors, just a large sign that said 38c per oz. The lone girl at the counter kindly point my eyes in the direction of the wall of yogurt, ahhhhh self-​serve! I had never done self-​serve ice cream before (besides the sizzler) and I knew I had to control the urge to get every flavor in my cup.
So I got a little mango and a little strawberry, topped with white chocolate chips, cheesecake bites, and Cap’N’Crunch. Have to say I enjoyed the yogurt way more than Pink Berry. It didn’t have that sour ass taste that Pink Berry has. But the yogurt here was a little too icy for me. The two of us over filled up at under $ 8 total.
Gratuitous Close-​Up;

This place reminded me of Hometown Buffet. Or maybe all those buffets from Vegas hotels. What I’m getting at is that they had the Frozen Yogurt dispenser by the seating area, letting customers to serve themselves. How exciting!!!
Pros:
1. You are not restricted to the size that they offer. No small, medium or large. You just grab a cup and serve yourself as much yogurt as you want. This is great because I can never finish a small size from any ice cream or frozen yogurt places. I always end up either wasting half of a small serving and feeling bad about it, or end up asking for kids size and feeling very embarrassed. Being in control of how much you want in your cup is simply amazing.
2. You get to mix and match whatever flavor you want. No more forcing your friends/​BFs/​GFs to order the flavor you want. If you want all 8 flavors they offer (strawberry, peach, plain, coffee, strawberry & banana, blueberry, pineapple, and mango), you simply pour yourself all 8 flavors. You are happy, and your friends/​BFs/​GFs are happy. Everybody wins!
3. Topping bars. You also get to choose whatever toppings you want and however quantity you’d like on your yogurt. I got mochi balls, lychee jello, pineapples, strawberries, and raspberries. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about stuff like «each topping is additional $.50.»
4. You pay how much you put in your cup. It doesn’t matter if you have tiny bit of yogurt with piles and piles of raspberries, or if you had 8 different kinds of yogurt with no topping. It simply goes by «37 cents per ounce» rule.
5. They do taste much better than Pink Berry. No tart weirdness. Quite fruity and actually very refreshing like sherbet or gelato.
Cons:
1. The yogurt comes out at rather fast speed from the dispenser, and before you know it, there’s a big pile of yogurt in your cup.
2. Because you don’t know how much it’s going to be, and there are too many flavors and toppings to choose from, you end up acting like a kid at Sweet Factory, shoving every single thing in front of your eyes into your cup. Yes it’s fun to see piles of 8 different yogurts and 10 different toppings on it, but then the reality hits you. «How the hell am I gonna finish this giant pile of sugar?» Also by then, «37 cents per ounce» that once sounded cheap somehow ends up being very expensive.
Ultimately, this place is for people who has self control and can be responsible. That means, definitely not for me.

Located in another over-​crowded Koreatown shopping center is another frozen yogurt place.
But this place might just have the right idea.
I am an ice-​cream fan, and frankly I should remember that.
That being said, the frozen yogurt here just tastes like frozen yogurt, go grab our Yoplait (frenchie) out of the fridge and drop it in the freezer and you have the taste of the yogurt here.
Now the details. This place is do it yourself. Go grab a cup, with a waffle cone or not, and start making your own bowl of goodness.
They have like 10 flavors, or maybe 8 — a bunch– and then hit the toppings station. Add toppings and pay, BY THE OUNCE. Twenty something cents an ounce. Which is okay, I managed to make what might be considered a medium to large bowl of stuff and it cost me four dollars and change.
Now, the secret. Put topping in the bottom of the cup. Toppings come in fruit, candy, cookie, cake, and mochi flavors. Nothing too exciting.
Anyway, my best Frozen Yogurt experience to date.

Ooooh… i’m so sad that Aunny D. had a crappy ass experience here cuz I absolutely LOVED it!
If you’re into the whole Pinkberry-​type flavored yogurt topped with mochi and the like… Berry Nutty is up your alley. One of my biggest pet peeves about Pinkberry (and a multitude of knock-​offs) is that they swirl it around in the cup, virtually leaving a big ol’ void in the center, all while charging you an arm and a leg. Not to mention, that charge you a ton per topping.
Not so with BN! It’s .38 cents per ounce… so you can go CRAAAAAAAZY with the amount of yogurt and/​or toppings. And, they have like 6 – 8 different flavors… not just plain, green tea, apple, banana… no, we’re talking about blueberry, mango, pineapple (oh holy hell! mmmm) and coffee (also, holy hell!).
I got a HUGE plain and pineapple and topped with ahem, yeah yeah, I know it’s odd: mochi, fruity pebbles, choco chips, coconut, and fresh strawberries. AND, the staff was fabulous… one man, I think perhaps the owner, dragged me over and told me that I just HAD to try the coffee. I had already paid mind you and he swirled a good single scoop serving’s worth a top my already monstrous creation… for FREE! I have to say… I agree… the coffee rocks! He said that the blueberry, pineapple, and coffee were the top sellers… I can see why. Good stuff. Oh, and you can pay .50 more if you want a cup with waffle cone in it… oh yeah!
Fairly easy to park… super clean store… lots to choose from… and a VERY welcoming staff! Highly recommend…

Yea, Berry Nutty. Not so much. Why it’s called Berry Nutty I will never know because it is a self-​serve fro-​yo place, and the only thing nutty about it is how they came up with the price per serving which is 38 cents per ounce. OooooooooooooooK. This place is where Snowberry used to be and it’s K-​town so of course they had to replace it with another frozen yogurt spot, because people in K-​town love fro-​yo like a mo-​fo. Ya know? The cashier behind the counter was very sweet and must be bored out of her ever-​lovin’ mind most of the time because people serve themselves: yogurt & toppings. They weigh it and ring it up for you. My cousin and I helped ourselves to a selection of yogurt, flavors like: banana, coffee, blueberry, plain, pineapple, strawberry, etc. Nothing too exciting or anything that hasn’t been done before. After helping ourselves to 3 or 4 flavors it was time for the toppings (and this is where they getcha). I had a few fruity pebbles, blueberries, mochi, and mango. I didn’t think it was possible for another fro-​yo place to rake you over the coals, so to speak, more than the frozen yogurt shop that will remain nameless (here’s a hint: it starts with a «Pink» and ends with an «rry») but Berry Nutty takes the cake in terms of what is unacceptable to charge for frozen air (AKA yogurt). Almost $ 15 later, I walked out to «enjoy» my icy treat. Ummmm… yea, not so much. Thanks but I’ll stick to Golden Spoon. Pretty sad that I have to go to Orange County to find one. Bleh.

I visited this place after I passed it while driving around in K-​town. We went there after dinner around 10:30 pm and was surprised it was still open. It was pretty empty, but it JUST opened recently since I can’t find any information about it online.
This has got to be my favorite yogurt place (besides Yogurt World that I went to in SD) since it has a variety of different flavors and for a very good price. There weren’t many topping choices though, but it’s just a little less than you would see at places like Berrilicious/​Pinkberry/​etc. But the best part is that it’s SELF-​SERVE so you can choose how much yogurt you want and how many toppings you want. You only have to pay $ 0.30 per ounce.
The flavors they have that I remember are: coffee, mocha, strawberry, banana, pineapple, mango, and plain. I think on a sign it also included pomegranate, but it wasn’t available yet. Some toppings they have are (of course my fav~) MOCHI BALLS, various fruits (blueberries, strawberries, mango, etc), cereal (fruity pebbles, etc), and others.
I shared the small cup yogurt and it only turned out to be $ 3.11. And it was perfect since we got two flavors we wanted (strawberry and mango) and overloaded on our favorite topping (mochi balls). I’m just sad that if I want to go here I have to drive 2 hours :(
