Pinkberry

I love Pinkberry. I first tried the delicious cup of joy in California several years ago and was thrilled when they opened in Nashville. I would probably go more if it wasn’t a bit overpriced but I’ll deal. The flavors change seasonally (my favorites are chocolate hazelnut and pomegranate) and the toppings are always fresh (fruits, nuts, candy, granola, cookies, etc.)
The best part, to me, is you can buy a take home container for 10.99 and add your own toppings at home… if the container lasts that long. It doesn’t in my house!

I am a HUGE fan of frozen yogurt. I won’t go out of my way to eat at Pinkberry.
This location has it’s perks: I went around 8:30 on a Monday night and the dining area was clean for the most part (trash wasn’t overflowing, but it didn’t appear anyone had wiped down the tables for a while.) The toppings were pretty well stocked, and the fruit was fresh. It’s very conveniently located.
The reason my life would happily continue without Pinkberry: Only 6 flavor options (9 if you swirl)…seriously? And none of them are very original/​exciting in my opinion (I recall original, chocolate, chocolate hazelnut, peanut butter, grapefruit and coconut.) Okay, I’ve had maple bacon donut froyo before. Stop being boring!
I also find this chain to be over-​priced, and the menu is misleading when it comes to toppings. Do not put the prices for *all* servings next to bold typeface that says «to go toppings.» Not that the extra $ 2 really broke the bank, I just found it annoying that it wasn’t more clearly displayed.
All if all, if a friend asked me to eat here, I would. However, I won’t be making any independent trips.

I LOVE Pinkberry! I visit this place on a regular basis to get my fix. While I do venture out and taste other flavors I often just stick with the original. It’s like I can’t ever get enough! I also highly recommend trying half original and half mango. Those flavor combos are delightful. The distinct flavor and texture in addition to the quality toppings (fresh fruit!) definitely put Pinkberry far ahead of its competitors.
The place is always clean and the staff act like they actually enjoy Pinkberry which is always a plus.
I read others’ reviews about the «limited» number of flavors. Honestly, who needs more than 5 or 6 to choose from? They aren’t advertising to be like Baskin Robbins. I also don’t understand why a reviewer would negatively rate this place based on the fact that it isn’t self serve.
If you are looking for a refreshing treat then definitely give this place a try!

I had my first visit to Pinkberry, and I must say I was impressed! I was expecting a Sweet Cece’s type set up, but it’s a tad different. You select one froyo flavor (vanilla, chocolate, coconut, peanut butter, chocolate-​hazelnut, & maybe one other), and then add toppings if you want. You don’t pat by the pound, you just pay a flat rate per size (it’s only a sniffed more for toppings, & you can get as many as will fit in the cup). They will let you try before you pick, so I tried the coconut & chocolate-​hazelnut. The coconut was very tart… the chocolate-​hazelnut very nice. Sweet enough & very creamy. That became my selection, and I added chocolate crispies & toasted almonds. Delicious!
When I checked out, I was asked if I wanted a little ice to keep it cold. Yes! How cool is that?! I got a rewards card today & I’m certain I’ll be back!

I am a Pinkberry convert, I admit it.
It was only a little more than a year ago that I first enjoyed the cool deliciousness that is Pinkberry yogurt, but it feels like a lifetime.
What is most remarkable to me, is that you can visit the Cool Springs store and the West End store, and the flavors offered are so different. I am ADDICTED to their peanut butter, I mean really, and the Cool Springs store lost that flavor almost a month ago.
Then today I walked into West End with a co-​worker, fully prepared to enjoy pomegranate and coconut — which would have been fine, and Happy-​Day-​Oh-​Joy-​And-​Rapture, they have peanut butter!
While I happily enjoyed the salty sweet peanutty goodness, it does cause you to think there should be more chain consistency if you’re going to advertise seasonal flavors on facebook, posters, etc. I also remember that had problems with the peaches not being acceptable, etc. where their marketing efforts were promoting fruit toppings that were not really available.
Oh, well, as long as the yogurt is this yummy, all’s well!

I love eating yogurt ice-​cream here. I have never tried it before, but I have my first love eating it.
They have variety of flavors and you can try them first before ordering. Besides, they have different fruits, dressings, chocolate and others to reinforce yogurt’s already fantastic flavor.
I ordered chocolate yogurt with mango, berry, almonds, strawberry and some others that I cannot remember. The mixture is just perfect, totally melting in my mouth.
It is quite expensive, but it is worth it, spending money on such a high-​quality food.

I tried Pinkberry for the first time last night as part of my supper club. Maybe it’s just me, but that surprise tang in their original froyo doesn’t do it for me. Reminds me of buttermilk.
I appreciate they are super organic and hormone free though. Definitely a great idea to put a healthy spin on the ice cream, toppings, ect. I mean where else can you get organic gummy bears? haha.
This place is also fixed price, which is kind of nice. I’ve been burned before in some of the froyo shops where they weigh everything. I enjoy you can go as topping crazy as you would like here! Kuddos, PB.
All in all, maybe I just need to try a new yogurt base. Everything else though was superb.

My wife and I love to come here on occasion for a delicious snack in the evening. The place is usually packed out but the service is pretty quick. You can sample any flavor that you want.
Some people say this place is expensive but the product is very high quality being hormone free and the fruit is cut fresh daily. The yogurt itself is very tasty especially the salty caramel and the chocolate flavors. The toppings that they offer are great as well. The toppings seem to be of a higher quality that comparable yogurt shops.
Like I said, its a place we love to go on occasion for tasty snack. We would go more often but with the toppings, it could get a little unhealthy.

I had no idea what this place was, but it was late at night and this was one of the few places on West End that was open. I ordered an «Original, Small with Pineapple and Kiwi.» At firs taste I was kind of grossed out! I was hoping for vanilla ice cream, but apparently Original frozen yogurt tastes just like yogurt. hm… wouldn’t have guessed!
I guess for what it is, its good. Maybe the chocolate would have been better for me? They have like 6 choices and their portions are really big! I was barely able to finish the small that I got and just so everyone knows, they also have «minis.» Don’t be ashamed to order a mini, its not like they called it kiddie size. And i’m not really into fro-​yo, but is $ 6 for a small cup normal? I guess I shouldn’t complain because they took the Vandy commodore card, which means Vandy paid for it. ahaha

Easily the best frozen yogurt I’ve ever had! My first experience was in L.A., presumably where the whole fro-​yo craze began. Ever since then, I’ve tried finding one that equals pinkberry.
I have yet to find it.
Even though it’s a little pricey, it’s absolutely worth it! The ingredients are fresh and the yogurt is super creamy and flavorful.
A gripe I’ve heard about pinkberry is that you can’t serve yourself. My question is, would you expect to serve yourself at Dairy Queen?
I’m holding out hope that St. Louis will one day get a location, but it doesn’t seem likely. Until then, I’ll just have to travel the country looking for that little pink and green sign!

I’ve only been here a million and a half times since arriving in Nashville back in June. Ergo, my review really doesn’t need to say more than that. But I’ll go ahead and add that I’m not biased despite them taking my Pinkberry virginity. I love this place because I’ve consistently gotten what I expected/​wanted from them: a cup of amazing yogurt and all the toppings they tolerate me asking them to load on [oh, I get my money’s worth].
And I understand some reviewers have complained about feeling skimped on the yogurt/​toppings… so when I say that I’ve been thoroughly satisfied, I mean that I’ve gone consistently an hour or two before closing and usually see the same employees there. Maybe the closing shifters are more generous than the openers? I don’t know.

I heard Pink Berry is SO amazing and had to be tasted to be believed, after trying it in in LA I never liked it as much as any of the other froyo places I’ve tried. The Nashville location is no different from its West Coast cousins and the main reason I’m not impressed with it is also for the same reason with Pinkberry Nashville.
1) lack of choice-​seriously like 4 flavors? Is this a big city froyo place? because good ol’ Clarksville’s froyo places has at least 6 and the other places too
2)price
3)can’t control portions/​toppings: I guess 2 and 3 can be combined. I don’t like the fact that someone else has to get me my own froyo, it’s like I’m being treated like a child by a parent. A very stingy parent who yells at you to close the damn door because they’re not looking to air condition the entire world type of parent.
It’s inconsistent, sometimes you’ll get an employee that will skimp on the yogurt but load you up on the toppings OR you get the employee that gives you a massive mound of yogurt who gives you one or two berries when you ask for raspberries OR if you’re really unlucky you’ll get the employee who must be new or even the owner or something because you’ll get an anemic amount of yogurt and maybe a piece or two of topping.

I was actually surprised at how much I liked Pinkberry. It’s a very different taste than I was used to, but I found myself actually enjoying it.
I had the Original with Peanut Butter and the sour/​sweet combination was delicious.
Beware, its not your usual Frozen Yogurt, but give it a try and you might be surprised like I was.

Pinkberry is generally more tart than Sweet Cece’s and not self-​serve, which is usually why I don’t go here. But I’ve have pleasant experiences each time– the service is wonderful and I love the little dark chocolate crunchy balls on top of the salted caramel. Tons of Vandy undergrads at this location.

I’m going to get a bunch of «I told you so» comments from this, but Pinkberry has officially converted me into a Fro-​Yo fan.
Things that have turned me into a Pinkberry fan:
Interesting flavors (not just your vanilla/​chocolate kind) — I know it rotates, but I was excited to see choices like watermelon and lychee.
Awesome toppings — They have mochi. That is all I need in life as a topping. Besides that though they have a nice variety of fresh fruit and sweets/​cereals to put on top if you need something with your mochi.
No weighing your own cups — They have official cup sizes and prices. The staff gets your Fro-​Yo for you and tops it as well. There is no moment of mystery and concern at the register hoping that one cup isn’t $ 12 because you were heavy handed on fruity pebbles.
Calorie counts — This isn’t a concern to everyone, but it is nice to see a basic calorie range on all yogurts and toppings right where you can see them in case you are trying to be really good.
Atmosphere — It’s very clean and has a cool vibe to it instead of obnoxious colors on the wall everywhere. I can safely sit inside and eat my Fro-​Yo without being blinded.
Overall it has been a good experience each time we’ve been there. My preference is still good old fashioned ice cream, but if I’m in the mood for something lighter or happen to be in the area it makes for a delicious treat.

Without a doubt, the best tart frozen yogurt in town. Deliciously thick, smooth, and refreshing, with the highest quality toppings ranging from fresh fruits like strawberry, mango, pineapple, watermelon, blueberry, raspberry and more candy-​like toppings like delicious dark chocolate crisps, coconut, gummi bears, granola, etc. and for the real Asians, mochi.
Yes, mochi. You might not have heard of mochi before, but it’s a soft and chewy ball made from glutinous rice flour. It has the texture of a gummi bear, slightly sweet, and perfectly complements the yogurt. But, you won’t find the mochi on the counter, this one you have to request from the top-​secret menu. (Well, you just ask them for mochi and they’ll take it out from hiding).
Try the lychee flavored yogurt. It’s definitely the best. Lychee is also an Asian fruit but its sweet and unique flavor is oh-​so-​refreshing-​and-​delicious. Trust me, you need to try the lychee one.
Atmosphere is also quite nice: very bright and modern with crazy colorful net chairs included! Also FYI, every Asian in town will be there. I’m not kidding. The clientele at Pinkberry has to be like 75% Asian. Compared to the Nashville demographics being like 1% Asian, it’s crazy. I guess if you’re looking to meet some Asians, this is the place to be!
Okay, so I love Pinkberry. But, seriously, it is ridiculously priced compared to the other froyo joints in Nashville. That’s the only reason why I took away a star. I simply can’t afford it on my budget! But, for the splurge, it is quite worth it.

Maybe I’m biased, but I feel like Pinkberry offers more healthy choices in Fro-​Yo versus SweetCeCe’s.
Don’t get me wrong, both places have great Fro-​Yo but Pinkberry wins in my book. The quality of toppings and yogurt is distinguishable between these two places and Pinkberry tastes better and fresher.
I still think Red Mango is my favorite Fro-​Yo place, but I think I might have to wait awhile for that to arrive to Nashville. But Pinkberry will make a smooth, delicious, and fresh tasting substitute in the meantime!

Whew, Pinkberry, you are amazingly good and tart and addictive but why must you be so EXPENSIVE?!
The staff here is delightful and they are willing and able to give every single person in line the «first time here» spiel. I got a regular with some fruit which is what I have ordered at other PB’s and knew what to expect. The tartness of their plain yogurt is just delightful but this is honestly a very special treat sort of place. Otherwise, save your pennies and buy a quart of the Plain Frozen Yogurt at Trader Joe’s. That stuff is pretty comparable for us frugalistas out there.

Totally agree with Cynthia and Matt L.
We too went for the grand opening and free samples.
We were not cool enough though for the VIP section. (They have VIP sections at frozen yogurt shop parties in Nashville? Who would have thunk it?)
Anyways, the grand opening was pretty disorganized, although the klieg spotlights were a cool touch.
We waited in line for a bit with a bunch of other folks who weren’t sure if they were in the free sample line or the go-​into-​the-​store-​and-​buy-​froyo line. Turned out it was the latter.
So I jumped out of line and found a sweet gal with a tray who was offering up samples. Picked up one each of green tea and mango. The mango was decent, the green tea was dreadful and tasted literally nothing like green tea. (If you’ve ever read Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, it was equivalent to the machine that could analyze Arthur’s tastebuds and then produce a liquid tasting almost completely nothing like tea.)
My wife picked up samples of chocolate (insipid) and original (tart, sour, ok).
As we drove away, I wished I had something to get the chemically taste out of my mouth.
Yuk.
Sweet Cece’s is still the best in Nashville for froyo and I say that even after their self-​service machine burped chocolate yogurt all over my shoes one time.

If you’re a sour frozen yogurt fan, this is definitely your place. The variety is excellent. The yogurt is a bit sweeter than many of the our sour yogurt places in Nashville, but still has the tart.
The décor is simply amazing, like nothing I’ve seen in Nashville for this type of shop. Don’t miss the pebble floor. I now want it somewhere in my office.
Since it just opened recently, parking isn’t an issue yet, but I could see it quickly becoming an issue as it grows in popularity. Intriguingly enough, they seem to have a strategy to keep the computer squatters out of the dining room area… club-​level loud music. Seriously, loud. Like 1992-​Footlocker-​In-​The-​Mall loud.
There’s no way you’re going to spend over 10 minutes in the place to study, hangout or just have a good conversation. It may be a smart strategy since they are so close to Vandy (as and we all know, you can’t get a table at any place near Vandy thanks to the students making the facilities an all-​day study hall.)
While I still prefer Menchies, Pinkberry is definitely a needed and welcome addition to the sweet Nashville landscape.
