Yogen Früz

…Earth has fallen out of orbit and is hurtling at a maddening speed towards the sun and I know there isn’t much time left. All around me, the asphalt is melting, trapping Ferrari’s within its black tentacles as the heat melts the latest iPhone permanently to the ear of the driver aboard, who is screaming futilely for one last sip of his iced frappuccino in the cup holder. I just saw an old drag queen spontaneously combust in a puff of glitter and flying stilettos while trying to cross Brickell Avenue. Nothing is safe as the sun is about to swallow the earth whole. «I should repent for my sins» I think to myself… but who has *that* much time?!!
This is Armageddon, aka, a typical summer day in Miami.
I duck into Yogen Fruz which is tucked away in a hidden breezeway, in a final act of desperation. «Can I help you?» asks an overly cheery brunette from behind the counter, oblivious to the doomsday happenings outside. Meh! If I’m gonna die, may as well have a final serving of something cool and healthy, I think to myself. «Green Tea with Mochi and fresh strawberries». Seconds later, I hold in my hand a smiling paper cup with swirls of green and red and a small spoon. One bite and the frozen yogurt melts in my mouth as the angels sing Hallelujah, colors come to life, my taste buds cheer and the sweat on my brow turns to tiny ice cubes. I am reminded of how much I love ice cream and frozen yogurt and this is some of the most delicious I have ever had… rich, creamy, not too sweet and perfectly blended. It’s the smallest joy that brings the happiest smiles.
I take another bite of my frozen yogurt and walk to the front of the store. Outside, the sun shines beautifully once again and I hear birds singing. A pair of stilettos hangs awkwardly from a nearby tree, covered in glitter! I grasp my cup tightly and push against the door, greeted by a faint breeze. I have avoided spontaneous combustion in the Miami summer heat once again… no confession or repentance [thankfully] required.

Hands down has to be the best frozen yogurt place in downtown. I came here because I was craving froyo for days and on a hot Sunday afternoon this hit the spot. The best is their seasonal blueberry tart yogurt and I got some boba and fresh fruit no mochi tho but it’s ok. It’s such a better alternative to ice cream and love that’s its so conviently located. I know where I’ll be coming on the weekends. A little pricey but so worth it

Yoghurt is yummy, not fatty. Fruits are fresh.
I tried banana strawberry smmothie, not a fan.

This is my favorite place to get frozen yogurt! It’s cheap and really good.
I’m glad that they’re opening stores outside the US. But I was disappointed when I went to a Yogen Fruz in Dominican Republic to found out that their frozen yogurt is totally different from the one we have here. It’s just frozen fruits mix together. I would not call that a frozen yogur.

So sad they closed the previous shop that had ferrero rocher gelato, but I guess the healthier trend is fro-yo’s now.
Yogen is always full! It’s a bit pricey, but with all the good looking people walking in and out on most Sunny Miami days, you should definitely check it out.
Plus, the young kids that work here are as sweet as the fro-​yo.
Make sure to try the Chocolate with strawberries or the Cheesecake, they are bomb!

I don’t like yogurt period! or is that an explamation point? But they made me love it… hmmm just only one in their menu at least. That Almond Chocolate… actually I remove the almond and replace it with toasted coconut instead. made me change my mind about yogurt. Wow it taste like ice cream… like real ice cream… and for that you guys get 4 stars :-)

As soon as I walked in, there was a young girl that was friendly and eager to serve me, she even gave me a sample of the tart vanilla!
On the other hand, there was another young gentleman working there as well, he looked up and just stared at me, didn’t say a word, and went on to do other errands, although he seemed to be friendly towards other customers.. .. but nevertheless, my goal is get my fro-​yo on.
Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the plentiful toppings of Menchie’s and Yogurtland, but I wasn’t very impressed with Yogen Fruz. It was kind of on the expensive end for the small size yogurt, but what do you expect in good ol downtown MIA?
Rent ain’t free! So instead of getting a small sized yogurt where I get charged 0.50 per topping, I opted for a yogurt smoothie.
I saw her make my smoothie with frozen strawberries, a small piece of tart vanilla yogurt, but what had me yucking was the 2 small piece of browning banana she put into the blender.
I’m a lil piggy, and I drank my smoothie, must admit it was pretty good despite of those 2 pieces of old/​brown banana, but I would still pick Yogurtland any day, I would have a giant size cup of yogurt with at least 4 toppings to equate my small Yogen Fruz smoothie.

Continuing what very well could be called my yogurt craze phase I stopped in at Yogen Früz in Downtown. Slightly hidden in a food court like corridor this tiny shop still manages to have a devoted fan base.
I opted for a vanilla flavored yogurt topped with caramel and almonds. I’d probably not repeat the combination and instead stick to fruits. As far as the yogurt, although, it was vanilla flavored it was still a little tangy. Nothing overpowering but just be aware this isn’t the sweetest treat but hey sometimes sweeter isn’t better.

I can make this easy:
Wow! This is as good as it gets. SERIOUSLY.
This place will become my newest guilty pleasure.
Everything was amazingly fresh — and the folks who worked there were super friendly & helpful.

This is positively THE BEST yogurt ever! Its smooth and creamy and the flavor combinations are endless, from chocolate almond to mango pineapple with every possible topping you can imagine.
It satisfies any and all cravings you may have!
Everytime I go in, which is EVERY day… I get excited by all the choices I have and no matter what crazy combos I ask Theresa to make it always turns out perfect!
I love this place, so glad Yogen Fruz in in South Florida!

Love me some of the creamy deliciousness that is Yogun Fruz. The texture & quality of their yogurt is by far the best among any of the local froyo options. This particular location is a little hard to find, tucked away inside 100 Biscayne. But worth seeking out — staff was incredibly friendly & helpful — love that.
Checking out the downtown location for the first time, I thought I’d try the make-​your-​own-​flavor option for the first time, too. That’s where you choose a variety of fruits and/​or powders to create a flavor all your own. Well, I went with strawberry/​banana, and it resulted in a rather bizarre tasting flavor. Who’d have you thought you could go wrong with two of nature’s most compatible fruits? But they just don’t work together in tangy froyo. I won’t make that mistake again. Next time, straight flavors all the way. They don’t lose any stars, however, because they still offer the best quality yogurt I’ve found, by far. The flavor combo was my choice — I’d just advise to proceed with caution when it comes to the blendable option.

I am passionately in love with Yogen Fruz.
They definitely surpass the other «froyo» places in Miami, and steal the show.
I stumbled upon them while walking from Sole Trattoria and have become a fan ever since. I love the yogurt itself, it has the perfect creaminess and tang. The fruit is always super fresh. I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t have mochi :/​
My only gripe is that at times they charge me for extra toppings I don’t get… I bring it up and they kind of explain it in a flurry that leaves me confused. This is what disables me from leaving them five stars.
The key lime yogurt is brilliant, it’s one of my favorites.

The best frozen yogurt in the market hands down.
I’ve been eating Yogen Fruz for as long as I can remember. The taste of this yogurt ice cream is too heavenly to put into words. You have to experience it for yourself. I was extremely excited when they opened their store in Miami but at the same time extremely disappointed with the location and store hours. I understand that downtown Miami is dead after 5:00 pm but for us folks who don’t work in downtown, they make it impossible to visit. More locations throughout South Florida are needed ASAP.
The concept of yogen fruz is that you can make your own yogurt ice cream from the different fruits and toppings they offer. They have a wide selection of fruits so you won’t have a problem choosing. My personal favorite is strawberries and oreos. Yogen Fruz makes my heart happy.

I have been to a lot of frozen yogurt stands and chains. I remember the first time I went to TCBY in Alaska in the early 90’s. It all tastes like ice cream. All frozen yogurt tastes just like ice cream, right? Wrong, at Yogen Fruz you get that REAL yogurt flavor. I met up with a friend that is a veteran of Yogen Fruz; she said that if I liked yogurt that I would love this place. She ordered her usual — Green Tea with fresh Blackberries — while I was a bit more reticent about what to order. Luckily the lady behind the counter was used to my type and had two samples for me in no time — regular and blueberry acai.
Even with those samples, I was instantly hooked. I love the flavor of plain yogurt, and this was good. The blueberry acai just hung on my tongue and, without hesitation, that is what I ordered. I am not certain what acai tastes like, I do know that it had some darn good blueberry flavor. While there is a full bar of fresh toppings, I decided to forego the additional flavor so that I might fully divest the flavors in the yogurt alone. Oh that wonderfully acidic tang that accompanied the blueberry flavor. I had to eat it slow to get the full spectrum of the flavor.
Some may ask, why was this tang a surprise. The reason that the acidic flavor is a surprise is that, in yogurt, that acidic flavor is caused by the live acidophilus bacteria that is present. Freezing kills the live cultures in frozen yogurt. I don’t know what Yogen Fruz does, but they have kept those live cultures in the finished product — the truly beneficial part of yogurt.
I will be returning to Yogen Fruz for my sweet tooth. Next time I will be getting one of the fresh fruit toppings to go along with my yogurt. I think that the extra layer of flavor and depth of the fresh fruit may raise my fondness. Only time and another serving shall tell.

Finally found a replacement for my Bloomingdale’s yogurt fix. For those in the know, Bloomigdale’s (NYC, Short Hills, Aventura) has a little café that serves (until now) a unique plain frozen yogurt that actually tastes like, well yogurt. Not vanilla mind you, but simply plain yogurt with the pleasant tanginess.
They do offer different flavors by using a mix-​in concept. The plain is available with an an assortment of toppings. They also offer yogurt smoothies. The store owners really enjoy their product, and always willing to provide a sample to newbies. Like most places downtown it is only open M-​F.
I have already made one co-​worker a convert. I wonder who will be next?

wow! Now this is frozen yogurt! It’s light, tart and a little sweet… but best of all, it’s guilt-​free!
For your toppings, you can choose from a variety of fresh fruits or any of the slightly less guilt-​free toppings such as chocolate, cookies and candy.
I hope to see more of these in S. Fla.

After my stroll through the neighborhhod, had to go and grab a quick lunch here. I LOVE yogurt, and am so happy we have this place here in the downtown area. My daughter does not like yogurt, but loves this place… My usual is… Green Tea which they blend on the spot for you with non fat yogurt… Flavorful, healthy, and whatever it is delicious!
I dislike that they are not open on the weekends, the owner said she does not have enough traffic. I understand but hopefully downtown will get with the groove and start opening on weekends and late evenings for the residents in the area.
Top it off with granola, cookies, or fruit… Green Tea with blueberries… yum…yum…
Love to walk and stop in for a delicious treat!
Service is excellent and very clean. Kudos to yogen fruz!!! LOVE this place…

I love Yogen Fruz! (two dots above the «u»)
I got the tart (almost like it has sour cream in it — reminds you of a soft cheesecake flavor cause it’s sweet — not cream cheese-​y) and chocolate — which is a bar, and you can have anything blended into it — I got raspberries (or were they blackberries — who cares?!) and it was tasty… so it was kinda half and half… with strawberries sprinkled around the perimeter.
It was very creamy and flavorful, but on a hot day you have to eat it fast!
I would recommend this place. It’s in a weird little breezeway strip of stores under a building… so if you didn’t know it was there you could totally pass it. I’m glad we found it.

Maybe I’m biased, but I’ve been eating Yogen Fruz for as long as I can remember since they’re all over the Dominican Republic; I can never seem to get enough of the stuff. I’ve been hoping that the chain would make its way to South Florida for years. Now that it is, I could not be happier. There are many frozen yogurt shops that appear to share similar traits with the fruz, but there is just no comparison whatsoever. It’s delicious, and yes it is good for you. Especially if you can manage to substitute a meal with a frozen treat. My only complaint is that the location isn’t open on the weekends. If it was I’d eat nothing but Yogen Fruz, all-​the-​time.

New to downtown, this place seems to be on its way to becoming the go-​to snack break place for office workers.
With words like «non fat,» «low fat» and «probiotic» you are led to believe that the delicious tangy soft-​serve-​style frozen yogurt is actually good for you. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. I don’t really care. What I’m thinking about is what flavor combination am I getting next time?
The three stars is tentative– I liked my treat, but I am not sure I would get the same combo again (chocolate with oreos blend) and the ordering experience was a little overwhelming. Here’s what you need to know so you don’t end up dazed and confused like me. You have two options:
1) «Blend it» The base consists of a frozen yogurt bar that is blended with toppings of your choosing — like frozen strawberries, bananas, lychees, blackberries, etc. The frozen ingredients are blended together to produce a soft-​serve style treat. The frozen bar flavors are: low fat vanilla, low fat chocolate and non fat vanilla.
2) «Top it» uses the tart vanilla yogurt base which is actually soft-​serve. and then you can «top it» with a variety of ingredients like fruit, captain crunch, oreos etc. I recommend sampling the tart vanilla yogurt because it is a distinctive flavor and may not be for everyone.
They also offer ice-​free, dairy and non-​dairy smoothies made with frozen yogurt or sorbet and kosher options.
There’s nothing comparable in the Downtown office area — I’m psyched!
