Céfiore

Been here a couple of times and had an OK experience.
Looks like they weren’t good to their customers from reading a few of other people’s reviews because they are CLOSED now. I’ve driven by many times in the past several weeks and they are always closed. Sorry to see another business fold during this recession, but you gotta be good to your customers especially with so many other froyo options available. I have been getting my froyo from Yogurtland due to price and self-​serve toppings. (Yogurtland is most likely the reason this place closed).
Cheers!

NOT one of my favorites. This place is pretty stingy with their toppings. The yorgurt is not bad compared to other yogurt places.
I literally live down the street from this place, but I would prefer to drive out of my way to get yogurtland or pinkberry any day rather then go here. This place is just more convenient for me to go to.
The other flavors they serve are not appetizing at all. 3 stars applies to only the yogurt and location. Everything else, portion size, service,…doesn’t matter. Probably not coming back anyway.

This place is way better than pinkberry in terms of taste.
But they are RUDE! (I’m sorry I’m not a cool AzN KiD)
And super stingy. There is not a wide range of toppings and they use a tiny itty bitty spoon to pour (no strike that, slightly dabble!!) on the yogurt. Its really irritating.
The also stop making waffles after a certain time.
In conclusion; its the best tasting yogurt I’ve had yet, so I keep going anyway.

I love LOVE LOVE ce fiore but this location sucked for me. They were rude and I agree with them being stingy. They only put only like 5 kiwis on the yogurt. Their pomegranate tastes nothing like pomegranate.
what a disappointment :(
I hope their yogurt machine breaks down and the bacteria attacks them!

The more I fixate on the giant hole in the middle of my yogurt, the more I contemplate giving this place 3 stars.
Choices: This Céfiore had the acai berry flavor (
), but it seems I’ve missed my chance to try the golden cherry. Anyway, the acai was one of the best flavors I’ve had so far. The texture is not to runny but the taste can’t be described as chalky. They seem to have the formula down to a science. The other flavors included plain and green tea. I sampled the plain which tasted delicious as usual, but the acai proved infinitely better. I think I love this place for the toppings most of all. Their mochi pillows and blackberries are super high quality. Apparently, they also serve waffles. Definitely going to try that next time around.
Service: Pretty standard.
Atmosphere: This place is on the bottom level of a super fobby Asian strip mall. Stepping inside is like entering a different universe. Everything is clean, spit free, and glowing. I love the long bench inside that faces both the toppings counter and a giant flatscreen TV. My only gripe with that bench is that if you are of intermediate height, you’re too short to rest your back on that weird seat back and too tall to duck under it. It’s really rather annoying.
Synopsis: I am still pissed at this chain for leaving that giant hole in the middle of my yogurt swirl, but in terms of quality, Céfiore takes the cake.

I’ve tried a few of these «frozen yogurt» shops and was never impressed.
However, i do like Cefiore regular favor frozen yogurt with captian crunch and granola for a sweet crunchy taste.
However, this location sucks. PARKING is OK to BAD depends on the time.
Pricing (at this location):
Original Yogurt: Small: $ 2.50 Medium: $ 3.50 Large: $ 5.00 Cefiore: $ 6.00
Flavor Yogurt: Small: $ 3.00 Medium: $ 4.00 Large: $ 5.50 Cefiore: $ 6.50
Toppings: 1 Topping: $ 0.95 2 Toppings: $ 1.25 3 Toppings: $ 1.45

I usually like my tart yogurt icy and more on the sour side but I still give this place a 3.5. It was pretty creamy and more on the sweet side but I also had the pomegrante something else flavor that was more tart so it balanced it out. The girl at the counter was packing on the toppings so brownie points for her!
Sidenote: This place is in a FOB center with a hair «saloon» and clothing «botic». I think they need a new sign guy. Preferably one that can spell…

Lost a star, they didn’t have the kids size. $ 2.50!
Lost another star, they don’t open when they say they do! argh!
Gave them 3 stars, b/​c it was convenient. Walking distance to the area where I stayed. I’m not a big fan of yogurt, it’s got that tart acidy taste. Tried pinkberry and various other fro-​yo places. this one got my tastebuds jumping! Loved it. caught my attention w/​the «italian» fro-​yo on it. But is it really italian fro yo? I don’t know, but I do know it’s good.

Exponentially better than Pinkberry. I mean, it’s still expensive, and I still hate myself for semi-​loving the whole overpriced frozen yogurt thing, and really all of these yogurt places are a dime a dozen and I’m kind of over it. But Cefiore is really quite delish. I had the Acai yogurt with yogurt chips and strawberries and it was divine. What can I say, I hate myself and this kinda fills the void in a way that nothing else can. Liked the décor too. It was very pink.

I like this place better than Pinkberry. The flavors are all fantastic! The workers are all very sweet young girls and the atmosphere is awesome. You can hang out and catch up with old friends without being given weird looks for taking so long.
I’ve got my co-​workers hooked as well. ;)

Yes, i likes. It took a while to open and once it did i took a while to try it.
BUT I finally dragged the kids to get a treat bc mommy wanted fro-​yo so off we went. THey shared a kid size original with watermelon and choco chips. They both totally enjoyed!
I had a prom-​raspberry and wow it was sooo good. It was a little too tart for my daughter but i like loved it. i can’t wait until i go back to try the aloe. im skeptical but interested.
i disagree with the others, there was totally a hole in my single! i want no hole fro yo please!
i do think its a little pricey for froyo tho…

well i thought this place was wayy better than pinkberry. all the haters out there can suck it. the yogurt here at cefiore is a bit harder like its more frozen or something ywt it tastes less sweeter. i though it had a very good taste. im just happy its expensive because if not id be going there every day. the people are very nice as well.

Pros: The price wasn’t too bad. No hole in the middle. No gross after taste like I’ve experienced after eating some frozen yogurt.
Cons: The fruit was a little old. Not tart enough… I had the plain and tend to like my frozen yogurt to be a little more tart.
All in all, it was okay. I’d probably hit this place up again if I were in the neighborhood.

As I’m sure most froyo aficionados know, Cefiore is one of the more firmly entrenched chains in the froyo wars. If you’re new to Cefiore, here’s a rundown of how it’s different from Pinkberry.
1) It’s Italian. Supposedly. I’m honestly not sure how this makes much of a difference in terms of the product delivered. But I like it, mostly because it brings back memories of this hot Italian chick I once met in Greece…
2) As of this writing, Cefiore offers four flavors (compared to Pinkberry’s three): original, green tea, pomegranate-​raspberry, and acaiberry. The two fruity flavors sort of taste the same; the pomegranate-​raspberry may be a bit tangier.
3) Waffles. I’ve yet to actually order one of these at any Cefiore, but years ago I went to a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. I learned then that waffles + anything = delish.
As far as this particular chain goes, it seems like a pretty run of the mill froyo outlet. There’s not a lot of seating; in fact, there are only two tables inside. In addition, there’s a long bench that runs the length of the store. There’s some outdoor patio seating.
I really enjoyed the staff. Normally, they’re just empty vessels that bring me yogurt. But today, after asking to sample the acaiberry, I couldn’t find a trash can to throw my paper sample cup away. One of the girls behind the counter offered to throw it away for me, even after I pointed out that I had managed to slobber all over the thing. She still took it. Gross, but I always appreciate a girl that’s willing to go the extra mile.
The toppings are nice and fresh; I was presented with juicy, sweet strawberries. The yogurt itself is a little sweeter than your standard tart froyo place, and this has the side effect of making the yogurt taste a little less tart and tangy. The tart/​tangy taste is why I go to froyo places, so this knocks a couple points off for me.
More distressing was the strange, almost metallic aftertaste I noticed upon finishing. Bizarre. I’ve never encountered it at any other Cefiore, so maybe it’s limited to this location.
All in all, a welcome location to the San Gabriel Valley froyo scene.

Yay for fro-​yo in MPK! …it’s still not a Pinkberry, but it’ll do on a hot day when I don’t want to drive so far. I’m not too fond of the original flavor here at Cefiore since it’s not tart enough, but I do love me some Pomegranate-​raspberry fro-​yo. It’s creamy, sort’ve tart, and refreshing compared to the other flavors. They have the usual suspects of toppings and I usually get mines with either berries, mango, and mochi.
There’s about 4 tables indoors and a long waiting room couch of sorts. There’s also several tables outside if you want to enjoy the view of the busy Atlantic /​Garvey intersection.
Get their business card, get it stamped, and after 9 stamps, it’s get 1 free 5 oz of fro-​yo.

I went today for the first time after dinner. I thought it was ok. I had a sample of the original and the pomegranate/​berry something. I should have gone with the second but I picked the original and 1 topping-​strawberries. Well, first off, they don’t give a lot of toppings. I’ve been to other places where they have been more generous. The yogurt was alrite. not as tart as Pinkberry. Maybe I like tart more… hehe. So overall, I thought it was ok. It would have earned 4 stars if they gave me more toppings…

I went to this place after my hotpot meal. Well, the interior was nice and pink. They greet you. We ended up taking the green tea yogurt. Not much different tasting than pinkberry. I like it because it is less crowded. I believe you can mix your flavors. Price was 6.75

i thought their small is 2.50…
but it was the KID size…
their mini gummy bear is soo cuteee haha
anyways, but the yogurt doesnt make me want to keep-​on-​eating it
and it taste sooo plain i still like pinkberry better: D it cools me down
but the yogurt in cefiore doesnt.

I have been anticipating for this Cefiore to open.
First it was going to be Kiwiberri. I was excited about that too. Then I realized that Kiwiberri was never going to happen here. I didn’t see any progress in the construction of the store. And one day I saw a new sign: Cefiore. Cefiore!!! I was just waiting for this store to open.
Last night I finally saw lights and people in Cefiore. I got so excited that I scared my friend who was driving. I didn’t want to eat their frozen yogurt yet because I was still full. So my friend and I went today after we had lunch. The staff members here are super nice and friendly. One of the girls even guessed that I’m a Unilocal member because I kept taking pictures of the store.
Cefiore offers yogurt combos which are really great and worth your money. At first I was going to order 2 toppings, but a staff member told me that 3 toppings are actually cheaper. I ordered a kids’ size of acaiberry frozen yogurt with mochi, raspberries, and strawberries. I loved it! Cefiore’s frozen yogurt is sweet and makes you feel refreshed. My friend ordered green tea frozen yogurt with mango. We both were a pair of happy customers.
Cefiore gives you a customer rewards card. Buy 9 and get a 5 oz. frozen yogurt free. That’s another reason to visit the store.

I went to Cefiore today, and this time, I ordered green tea frozen yogurt with mochi, strawberries, and blackberries. The berries were fresh, and the mochi was chewy. The green tea frozen yogurt was a lot better than the one I had at Pinkberry. It was not too sweet, not bitter, just perfect. Too bad I forgot to take pictures. Next time I’m going to try their waffle with frozen yogurt.
One more reason why I love Cefiore: a variety of flavors! Unlike most frozen yogurt restaurants, Cefiore has more than 2 flavors to offer. You can have original, acaiberry, green tea, or raspberry-​pomegranate. Some stores even have chocolate frozen yogurt. At this one Cefiore, they have the first 4 flavors. My favorites are acaiberry and green tea.

Yay! There’s finally a Cefiore in my area!
Delicious! This place is the next best thing to Pinkberry. The yogurt is more on the sweet side and not as yogurt like. Unlike Pinkberry, their yogurt is more tart. But nonetheless, delicious! Every bit of it! I order the green tea with mochi!
