Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt

So, I like frozen yogurt and ice cream, just like mostly the rest of the world. Unfortunately, the Westwood /​Norwood area has barely any ice cream joints open all year. There isn’t ONE open all year in either Westwood or Norwood, besides the Orange Leaf locations in each town. Therefore, Orange Leaf is my favorite place to go to in the Winter time. The Norwood location is located in a quiet plaza on Vanderbilt Avenue, by Route 1. The staff are always friendly, the frozen yogurt is always delicious (my favorites are chocolate, brownie batter, and cookies n cream), and the prices are always good. Definitely a spot to try out if you haven’t, Orange Leaf is one of the top fro-​yo spots in my book!

You know that scene from Bee Movie when Barry the bee is fantasizing about Vanessa and she’s flying around in her plane and then crashes and dies? This is my experience at orange leaf summarized.

Just walked in and right out! There are a ton of little kids inside and I saw one little girl at one of the froyo machines and she stuck her finger into the dispenser and licked it. That’s DISGUSTING. Shame on both the parents and the employees because they should be watching these kids making sure they aren’t doing stuff like that! Really unsanitary.

We love going to this orange leaf! The place is always immaculate. The staff is always friendly and nice. Oh and the fro yo is yummy! We live near three orange leafs and only go to this location because of our experience every time. Highly recommend!

This place is great. They are so friendly and the place is spotless ! I love the peanut butter foyo– best around. Can’t wait to come back!

Always happy to come here. Love that there are lactose free options and always love the toppings (esp. the boba!!)
One issue is that I wish that the lactose free options would vary more. There is only orange and pineapple available. Sometimes I really crave some chocolate or vanilla! maybe something to look into for the future!

I wanted to like this place. The positives: it’s really clean and the staff is super nice. The negatives: I got what would be considered a small for my 4 yo with gummy bears and m&m’s on top and I had what I would consider a medium with sprinkles and it cost $ 12 for what could only be described as totally average froyo.

I love this particular location — incredibly friendly staff, fresh toppings and tasty flavors. The only gripe that I have is that the flavors don’t really rotate too much BUT what they have is delicious. Many different choices — banana, key lime pie, coconut cake, blackberry Greek yogurt.
The décor is fun but not obnoxious. Very clean, especially the bathrooms. Ample parking, definitely my go-​to froyo spot

Okay, so Orange Leaf is good. But I have a problem with this specific branch. They have NO price signs ANYWHERE in obvious sight. Even the employees couldn’t find any signage or posters with that information when we asked for it.
After a while of looking, we found it— in the most obscure place! In the corner of a 40-​inch tv hung up on the wall. That’s it. Really??? I feel like that’s illegal in some sense. To not have ANY signs informing customers of price at a sales establishment? Yeah… Not ok. They need to get on this.

I really loved my frozen yogurt but it’s extremely overpriced. They charge you per ounce but they weighed my smoothie before blending, and I’m sure at least an ounce or 2 were left in the blender (which would make my $ 9.30 smoothie a dollar or so cheaper…). It was good! But nothing I can’t get anywhere else for at least half the price.

Who has to mentally prep herself before going to Orange Leaf each time? THIS GIRL. I keep telling myself «don’t over fill the cup, don’t over fill the cup, don’t over fill the cup» OR «get less froyo this time and leave more room for toppings» UM… yeah… I never listen to myself.
This is how it usually ends:
I end up liking 8 out of 10 flavors and even though I only get a «little bit» of each flavor, I always fill my damn cup, leaving pretty much no room for toppings.
One time, I got the large size cup, thinking «I’ll just fill it up to the regular size amount and that way I will have more room for toppings…» NOPE. I FILLED THAT DAMN CUP ALL THE WAY UP.
Moral of the Story — Orange Leaf is dangerous. Dangerously delicious. And if you have control issues like me, you should bring someone there with you to make sure you don’t get a froyo that weights 3 lbs.
Some of my favorite froyo flavors: Salted Caramel, Watermelon Sorbet, Wedding Cake, Birthday Cake, Cookies n Cream, Cappuccino, Coffee, Pumpkin Cheesecake, etc etc etc.
Some of my favorite toppings: mochi mochi mochi. LOVE mochi. Also, chocolate jimmies, snocaps and nutella drizzled on top.
OMG I’m drooling.

Just took my kids with nut allergies here. The people in charge had special condiments set aside for them in the back! They let the kids take whatever they wanted and there were plenty of chocolate, candies, etc. They were thrilled and I was so happy to go someplace that understood our issues. It’s definitely expensive, they provide large cups so the kids fill them up, but as long as you are aware of that, it’s a lot of fun and we will definitely go back.

The options are good but I hope they keep bringing in newer flavors. Also there isn’t a lot of difference between chocolate n brownie batter and coffee flavors.

Loved this orange leaf! Self service, great tasting frozen yogurt (for those of you that have tried pink berry, in my opinion, this place is way better) so many flavors that are great for both kids and adults. 50¢ per ounce so it gets a bit pricy, so since it’s self serve and priced by weight just watch out with the machines, they pour a little too much too fast.
There are so many toppings, whipped cream, fruit, even cereal like fruity pebbles. Overall yummy

This was my first Orange Leaf experience, and it was so great! There are soo many flavors to choose from, and tons of toppings. It is self-​serve, which is so fun! The only bad part is that it is super easy to get carried away because it is so fun to make. It is sold by weight so it can definitely get pricey if you’re not careful.
Every flavor I tried was so good. My favorites were pumpkin pie, snicker doodle, and oatmeal cookie. I also liked that there were a few fruit flavors like pineapple and coconut.
I will definitely be going back!
