Park Yogurt

This place is a quick go-​to when I want something cold and simple. This place does not have a crazy ton of variety, but it has enough to appreciate all the tastes and flavors. Most of the time, the people in the place are nice, friendly people, but there was one incident with someone running it who seemed kind of rude. Been here plenty of times. They’re good for a small business.

One of the weakest froyo places I’ve been to. They were out of about 5 flavors (nothing in the pumps) and there were no sugar free options. The flavor combos that they put together didn’t seem to go together when you mixed them to make twist, like they didn’t fully think it through before choosing what flavor to put in the pumps. Out or low on a lot of toppings. Unimpressed.

It is so awesome to see a small family run business that is a family gathering place in the community! The flavors change often, but they keep the standard favorites all the time. The owner is super friendly, greets us each time we come in and makes us feel welcome. Come and check it out and keep this family run business in St. Louis Park!

After an incredible burger expedition with the fam at Red Cow, we hit up Park Yogurt on the way home. I wasn’t overly impressed, and neither was the woman. First, stroll in and not a soul welcomes us despite us being the only people in there the entire time we decide to sit around. It was also about 80 degrees in there, no joke, the thermostat on the wall is right where you start your journey and it read 78. Get our sample cups and have at it.
Two of the dispensers weren’t available, which limited the choices down quite a bit. I went with the vanilla and strawberry while Ashley opted for cherry sorbet and vanilla.
Yogurt itself wasn’t as tasty as others, nor was it as creamy or smooth. To make matters worse, it was so damn hot in there, a full bowl of yogurt was reduced to goo and toppings in less than the time it took me of all people to actually eat it. Needless to say, that should NEVER happen with a ravenous eater such as myself.
The toppings were also missing some labels, so you had no idea what flavor bobas you were throwing on your froyo. Which, again, pissed us both off considering some of the flavors just don’t go together too well.
And it happened to be the most expensive froyo we’d come across yet at over .50 an ounce (I think .52 to be exact). So, with it all said and done, we had paid more, ate less because it melted and won’t make another trip back.

Good prices, great hours, love to support a local business! They support community and high school programs with fundraisers! Always greet you with a hello and a smile. Employees are constantly cleaning up. Dog water bowl outside and picnic benches, too!

I was stoked to see yogurt place go in within walking distance of my apartment, but not so much to see they didn’t have a great variety of flavors, especially dairy-​free sorbet types. Super bummer. The one flavor they did offer was gone and they didn’t want to make more with 2 hours left til close. That sucked.

The owner was really rude today also. I didn’t even know they were there! And will not be stoping in anytime soon!
