QQ Yogurt

I came here in Spring of 2009 for a yogurt fundraiser. It was okay, but I’ve definitely had better. I went back last week in hopes of trying their gelato, but unfortunately, it was no longer available. I’m not sure if they renamed this place, but they don’t serve yogurt and gelato anymore! It’s a boba place now – and it’s actually a pretty good boba place! I’ll check if there’s a new page for it on Unilocal and review about the boba there. If not, here’s a quickie:
2 stars for QQ Yogurt (when it served gelato & yogurt)
3 – 4 stars for the new boba place that replaced QQ Yogurt! I’m undecided about the stars kus i’ve only tried a lychee slush (which, btw, was pretty good… it’s similar to tastea’s, but without all the fancy toppings… you are, however, free to order it with whatever toppings they have available, though!). I’ll go back again and try one of their fancier drinks & rate my review then, when i’ve reached a consensus =)

MUST GO!
One of my favorite boba places in MPK! They give you so much for so cheap! :) My reccomendations:
–MILK TEA SLUSH –with egg pudding or boba
–Reg Milk tea –with boba or egg pudding
–Mango Green tea — with lychee jelly!
The workers are so nice here too, call the main guy working Mr. QQ :). They are is really sweet and the drinks are delicious!

I have to update this because they no longer do the froyo. So now, it’s only okay and I probably won’t be going there anymore because we only stopped in to grab a bowl of froyo once in awhile.

When i’m having a boba crave I usually come to this spot to cure it. The customer service and the cheapness of the drinks brings me back to this shop multiple times. For 1.50 you can get a regular tapioca milk tea with boba which in my opinion taste better than quickly and tap express. If you are broke and want some quality tasting bob a then do not hesitate to come to this store.

I usually come here for fundraisers (:
— the yogurt is a great price (by weight) !
— but they only have a few varieties of fro-​yo):
— the staff is friendly: D
— Overall i like this place: D

**Cash Only**
Well I’ll never go back, but if you are a really cheapy person, 28 cents per oz is pretty good. It made me QQ: P (Even though the guy working there said it’s quality and quantity, I’m thinking it’s more game speak)
They only got 6 yogurt flavors, all tart, none that really taste good to me, but hey you may like it. Worst I’ve ever had.
They say they offer gelato but none was available, but they did have ice cream that wasn’t on the menu.
They also have crepes and boba teas.
Their set up is kinda odd and not that good to stay there.
I won’t be back.

I’m going to keep it short and simple.
— Cash Only
— 6 flavors (a very small selection in comparison to most froyo places), a tart yogurt, vanilla, lychee, blue berry, taro, and one last one… but I can’t remember it for the life of me. They had the highest/​most expensive froyo machines that Taylor makes, and they were fairly new looking.
— Flavors are very tart, including the taro.
— Texture of the froyo was icy, as opposed to more milky.
— They also have an assortment of other things sold. Gelato, Bubble teas, crepes, fish balls, ice cream. When I went, they didn’t have gelato out (they said it was sold out) and ice cream wasn’t even on their menu.
— They did not give me a receipt, and I believe they also charged for the weight of the yogurt cup as well. Shady!
— Lacking in toppings.
So the good thing is, that it was cheap at only 28 cents an oz. But the quality was a little lacking.
Overall, I didn’t like the atmosphere, I didn’t like how it lacked in variety of flavors, lacked variety of toppings, the store seemed to be trying to be too many things at once… too many gimmicky things (fish balls, boba milk teas, crepes) and failing at all of them… and of course how shady it was that I paid in cash and did not receive any sort of receipt.
The place left me with a very bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively :(

Too icy and sweet for my palate.
Flavors offered when I was there: original, green tea, mango, strawberry, and taro. Toppings: mochi, strawberry, blackberry, kiwi, various nuts and candies.
They also serve boba items and smoothies.
$ 0.28 per ounce.

Wow! What a rannnndom find! I dig it!
1. Their ice creams actually taste good!
2. The menu is extensive (gelato, yogurt, bobas, teas– –all rolled up into one)
3. CHEAP!
4. The fruity/​funky ambiance with the LCDs to watch your shows or magazines to peruse!
5. Oh yeah, did I mention CHEAP! 28 cents/​ounce for yogurt, $ 1 boba… yeah. =)
’nuff said. Oh yeah, the staff is also very friendly. They have a nice business model going on — as if they took everything that worked and threw it into this space. =)

I only get the boba when I come here. $ 1 for boba milk tea and it tastes pretty dang good. I think it’s promotional for the time being.
My friend had the jasmine milk tea and he said it was pretty decent as well.
The attire is nice. The service is just okay, but i understand its hard for one woman to do froyo, make drinks, and scoop gelato, etc.
One thing I wish they did is open the top with chairs and etc. That’d be nice

After a large meal, I like to end the evening with a little nightcap of milk tea and tapioca. Our little group searched around Monterey Park until we stumbled upon QQ Yogurt. This place serves it all. Whether you want boba, crepes, yogurt, gelato, or even shakes, the prices here can’t be beat. However, in my case, I seemed to have gotten what I paid for.
I went with their special milk tea with boba promotion which was being offered for the ridiculous price of only $ 1.00. At the price, I simply couldn’t resist. While the boba was decent enough, the tea itself was a little chalky and was pretty bland. Perhaps I’m just used to the extra sugar that is added with the flavorings, but I wasn’t that happy with my purchase. I just wasn’t willing to fork over another $ 2 for a pump of the almond-​flavored syrup. This became a situation where the principle of contrast prevented the up-​sell, and I left with an inferior drink.
I have a feeling that I would probably come here fairly often if I lived in the area simply because of the variety of novelty choices. It’s not a particularly pleasant place to hang out, but they probably have at least a few things here that I would enjoy. Unfortunately, I was defeated by QQ Yogurt’s own marketing and headed back to San Diego nursing my tasteless, budget boba.

I’ve visited this yogurt place numerous of times and I just came back from getting myself a cup of my usual flavors and toppings. However, this last visit has made me realize just how poor their quality of yogurt, toppings, as well as their environment.
I just finished dinner with my family across the street from JJ café and decided to get a little bit of dessert. We entered a very cluttered store with chairs left and right. The cups they provide so that u can fill ur cup to desires were faced down on the counter and some were still wrapped in plastic; there were several dead flies laying on the cups and another one that was alive roaming around the rest of the containers.
I approached the machines and didn’t realize how poorly the yogurt was being kept. It came out like a liquidity substance that sank into my cup. My gummy bears were stale and i must say that this visit was very disappointing. Yogurtland and Pinkberry usually quenches my thirst for yogurt but i got a card where after u purchase 9 cups of yogurt, your 10^th one is on the house. im on my 4^th? or 5^th but im not sure if i can continue to compromise quality just to save a measly 10%.
Their yogurt really made me want to Q. Q

100^th review!
I was saving my 100^th for a dinner out with one of the girls, but we had to push back the date. QQ is worthy of taking the spot, so here goes:
How could I not love this yogurt shop?!
It’s closer than the other somewhat-​in-​the-​neighborhood shops. I left the house at 1:16 and was back home by 1:38.
Parking was a breeze. Right in front on the street.
Quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Not crowded.
Not just yogurt. Gelato, teas, smoothies, slushes, crepes.
Firm yogurt. (My last two visits to Yogurtland, I ended up drinking the yogurt by the time it got home)
Price was right.
Self-​serve for the yogurt & toppings.
The young lady who served me packed my order in ice for the ride home.
They have those stamp cards for a future free yogurt.
I was hoping to try some passion fruit yogurt, but it wasn’t on the menu today. So I opted for mango & green tea. Not overly tart, which I consider a good thing. Sometimes, froyo is so tart that I get that godawful reflex where your cheeks suck in & you go cross-​eyed. Not in this case!
My husband’s a gelato freak, so I picked up two scoops for him. Cheesecake & Mango. He was in a hurry to go to work when I got back from QQ, so I stuck it in the freezer for when he got home after a long, grueling day at work. Poor guy, he was so tired when he got home at 2am, he forgot about his gelato. Poor guy, the gelato somehow disappeared by the time he remembered about it the next day.
What…who, me? Mwuahahahah…

After dropping 13 bucks @ KT for two people, we strolled over here for froyo. It’s like yogurtland aka self serve. They also make smoothies and serve gelato. So clutch. Mmm. gelato. you can savor the creamy natural goodness of gelato while your anorexic gf gets froyo thinking it’s so much healthier. Win.
You get 10% off with a placemat from KT Café.
best. day. ever.
[the strawberry froyo is delish. and yes i’m the token anorexic gf]

I just went here about 5 minutes ago and the experience was good. Their passion tea flavor was the most exceptional amongst the others but blueberry also got the nod. I love how they have all the Asian toppings like mochi, but also the coconut jellies, logan, and aloe vera which brought me cultural glee.
I won’t be writing many reviews for awhile since I’m super busy, but since I work literally 100 feet away for the next 7 weeks I’ll be stopping by frequently. I’ll give you a hint where I’m at, I am only here till November 4^th.

we found this place after noticing that the phở place next door closed down… we go in and sample a few… the only one i liked was blueberry but thats good enough for me. lots of topping choices and they were nice big chunks.
when we got to the register she tells us cash only… uh… maybe u could have told us before? eh luckily i had cash on me. she also gave me a stamp card so that after i eat 60 of these i get one free! woot!!! and also a discount card for the next time i visit… woot!!! ill be going here again to use that for sure :)
EDIT: 4.5 star now…
ive been going once a week and the staff is always so nice. i think it is family run? anyways, i ran into a new topping today… ALOE VERA!!! my fav! mmm… it seemed gross but it was soo goodddd… please give it a try. right now they have a new flav, straberry… which was yummy :)

Yeah… I can’t believed they serve gelato :/​? hahaha… but hey, if I was a yogurt store owner, I would try just about anything to compete with the millions of yogurt joints that’s poppin’ out everywhere in the SG valley. hehe. I give him brownie points for trying something different.
Yogurt is just okay for me. It doesn’t «wow «me, but it’s not bad either. I am a big Original lover, if you get me with O. G at hello, I’ll be back everyday. hehe… I actually liked their Passion fruit flavor better than the Original.
Oh yeah, we were there a couple of times where their machine crashes, and we got really watery yogurt. So, pick your yogurt days kids…
Service is friendly and helpful. They deserve an extra star for that. I am a big fan of great services.

I had no idea this place was so brand new when I went here last week. I’m glad I found it though. I was staying nearby at a hotel visiting with family and relatives. The place feels big and empty. I think maybe they need more colors or decoration inside. It was very empty feeling.
They had six flavors: mango, original tart, cheesecake, passion fruit, green tea (ran out though) and one more I cannot for the life of me remember.
They need to NOT be out of flavors. Especially since they opened only a week ago. Just refill the machine, yeah? You never want to tell a customer that you’re out of something. It’s just not fun when you’re selling something we want! The sign on the machine that says «sorry, we’re all out» or whatever it said, is unpleasant and should be fixed immediately.
I got mango and cheesecake with mochi. They are really good flavors together. I got my Mom plain tart with oreo’s and almonds. I got my Dad plain, mango, cheesecake and one that might have been purple colored, with strawberries and mochi.
All this cost about $ 15 and that includes a 10% grand opening discount. That’s at $.38 an ounce.
Only a couple things bothered me about this place (hence the minus one star). The TOO quiet environment, at least get some mellow electronic beats in there, not too crazy though otherwise the music may scare customers away. And all of the toppings have that glass covered shield like a salad bar facing the wrong direction. It was hard to reach anything and I almost thought I wasn’t supposed to do it myself since it would have been impossible to read the far ones in the back. They need to adjust that or remove the shield and put clear lids on the toppings like the other self serve places do it.
The owners are nice and friendly, they packed my three cups on ICE even though I didn’t ask for it. I only asked for lids.
Anyway, I’m going back when I’m visiting my 95 year old Grandma again later this year.

Passed by on my way home from dinner and decided to give them a try. I’ve had Pinkberry (in Old Town Pasadena, was disappointing) and fro-​yo from Moose’s in Downtown LA (excellent!), so I knew what to expect. It’s a small space, with very bright and sunny décor. The people there are very friendly. I tried the green tea flavor and found it a little powdery-​tasting, so I ended up getting the original. I like that there are six different flavors (plain, green tea, mango, passion fruit, and two more I can’t remember right now) and it’s SELF-​SERVE! So if you get a hole in your yogurt it’s your own fault. You can have as much or as little as you want, put as much/​many toppings as you like. It’s all weighed at the cash register at 38 cents an ounce.
The original flavor is less tart than I’m used to, but it still has a nice smooth texture and good flavor. I had mine with fresh strawberry and mango and it was delish. I’ll be back to try the other flavors for sure. They’ve only been open 5 days but I think at 38 cents an ounce they’re giving the nearby Ce Fiore a run for the money.
They also have about 12 flavors of gelato (not self-​serve) — I’ll have to give that a try too.
QQ Yogurt is on Garvey Avenue, closest cross street is Ynez Ave. Parking lot in back, underground, or off street.

$.38/​oz. More than Yogurtland, same as Yogurberry.
3 self-​serve vending machines behind bright pebbly walls with cut-​outs. Very Nubi-​esque. Entire store is a mixture of Nubi + Yogurtland.
Out of green tea, mango, original, etc., our fave was passion fruit. Very very creamy, possibly contains actual dairy. Served a bit soft ala wet poop, «original flavor» barely had a hint of tartness hence bringing flavor extremely close to soft serve ice cream. I like.
grand opening Sunday, July 13^th. 10% off all purchases.
PS: They serve gelato. WTF. Chinese operated, plays KIIS FM. Has outdoor «patio» seats looking over Garvey Ave craziness. Same plaza as KT Café. Parking in rear and in underground structure
