Cherry On Top

I have good experiences every time I walk in this place, I like the toppings and the varieties of frozen yogurt. My personal favorite is the plain one, and I like to add nuts and fruits especially mango and strawberries on the top. The price is not too bad. You help yourself so you have control over how much amount you are getting.

great flavors for Fro Yo… big fan of the non fat cake batter and non fat salted caramel

Close to Afters ice cream and PCC. This spot has boba and fro yo in the same place??? I’ve never had the boba here but that’s an amazing idea! I’ve been here once and I sampled the most popular flavors (cake batter and Hawaiian something). Cake batter isn’t my thing… it’s too sweet. But I loved how tart their original was. More so than yogurt land. And I also liked the Hawaiian froyo. It was refreshing, sweet but not overly sweet and fruity. Lots of toppings to chose from… be careful of the fruit. it didn’t look too fresh. The prices are a little high and the workers could be friendlier… but overall it’s a good spot to check out.

I like the location of this spot. I also love that it’s a self-​serving frozen yogurt place and a milk tea spot! Two of my favorite guilty pleasures all in one!
I didn’t get to try the boba since I came in right as they opened and the owner said it was still being cooked.
I did order a Jasmine Milk Tea, my go-​to-​drink at any milk tea spot, and it was good! I have no complaints.

I’m a fan of Cherry on Top, but we recently stopped by during normal business hours on a Saturday and no one was there and the doors were locked. Someone finally came to the door about 10 minutes later and said they were opening [2 hours] late and asked if we could wait another 10 minutes. We didn’t want to wait more so we left.

NEVER NEVER AGAIN RUDE RUDE SERVICE FROM CHERRY ON TOP!!!
Rude service and strict rules that has now broken the camels back. No more visits to cherry on top!
We are in here and Yogurtland on a regular basis with my little girls bc they love yogurt. Yogurt is decent in the toppings are good for one thing it’s always tough is everyone looks so stern upset and sullen when you walk in the door. No one is ever friendly!
Today however as a regular customer I finally said no more! My little girl who only eats small servings of yogurt with some toppings came out to a total cost of $ 1.79. I Left my cash at home and only had my wallet and credit cards but they would not take my credit hard because I was $.21 off the price! She said «I’m sorry we have a two dollar minimum!» in a rude and condescending manner! I told her I would remember for next time but if she could do it this time could I get by and she told me NO! I was flabbergasted she had no understanding, no appreciation of customer service or retention. I was literally slack-​jawed I could’ve at that point just added some more yogurt but it became the principle of the thing. I told her I was there all the time and I recognized her but she simply snarled at me and grab the yogurt off the scale and pulled it away from me!
We then got back in our car went right over to Yogurtland paid the same price and they gladly except my card and more smiles all around just to have us as customers since they se us here all the time!
NEVER NEVER AGAIN RUDE RUDE SERVICE FROM CHERRY ON TOP!!!
Check out the picture of my happy little girl at Yogurtland enjoying her yogurt happily paid for with a credit card!

Ordered boba tea. After 5 minutes of waiting for my drink to come out in that little awkward pickup corner, the cashier kicks me out of the store and says he’ll bring me my drink outside. Waited another 15 minutes as a guy with creepy glazed eyes slowly eating McDonald’s stood in the awkward corner and stared at my husband and I. He got his drink before me and I got a full refund. The drink wasn’t even good, the boba was too hard and too plain.

This place is dirty and they were running low on almost everything. The machines had a drip pan which was gross and the cookies tasted like they were sitting out for days. If you like your basic bait and tackle froyo this place is for you.

We love this Cherry On Top. We stop here almost every Tuesday night after Boy Scouts. It is clean, staff is friendly, toppings are plentiful, and the flavors are always delicious. Get a punch card and get a free frozen yogurt on your 10^th visit. There is nothing that makes this place exceptional, but it is consistently good.
There is a weird little Boba place in the corner of the shop. I get nervous because I really don’t have any idea how to order it. But for those of you who love Boba and you’re not feeling FroYoish, you can kill two birds with one stone!

We’ve come here since it first opened.
My boys love it so it pains me but this place is not maintained.
The floors and mats are dirty.
The employees leave the storeroom door wide open.
Signs restricting bathroom use and «right to refuse service» are tacked on the walls. Cheap decorations that don’t mesh with the original pristine décor.
Electrical cords hanging down the walls.
The owner needs to pay attention because nowadays there are other choices and it’s easy to avoid a place that’s rapidly becoming a dump.

Love this Place! They’ve slowly become one of my family’s go to places after a movie or for dessert after dinner. Their cake batter yogurt with brownie bites and caramel. *drool* They always have an excellent variety of toppings and they offer free frozen yogurt if you stamp your card enough times. (I always forget SMH)
Downsides… Employees are forever upset looking and constantly suspicious if you ask for a sample cup (which you have to ask for and are not out for you to easily attain) to try the flavors. Also they stare at you the whole time you are there… But besides that the actual reason me and my family go there is pleasant and keeps us coming back time and time again.

This is my kids favorite dessert spot. I limit them to one or two toppings each. The oldest kid will make artwork of her cup. The other two simply make a mess. Nonetheless, a good time is had by all. I like the fact that it’s close to home and parking is never a problem. It’s reasonably priced, and rolling deep the way we do, it doesn’t take long to fill up our punchcard for a free cup of frozen yogurt. More seating would be nice though, or at least seating that doesn’t threaten to dump you on your ass.

We went over for some frozen yogurt madness and it was tasty enough. The aesthetics are kind of weird — very bubble gum pop, with a weird cartoon infusion. The yogurt flavors are limited but they seem to excel in toppings. We sat outside in the patio and I don’t know if it’s due to them sharing real estate with the apartment building the corner but the concrete patio on the outside and some of the furniture is just dirty as hell. They should get a pressure washer something for that.
The place is average at best but at least the yogurt and toppings were good.

Seriously what happened guys?
it use to be a nice place, clean, friendly with a nice ambiance. Now it’s dirty (inside and outside), very poor selection and the toppings are old and stale. I agree with Christine their frozen yogurt have a weird bad after taste.
they apparently stopped the reward program… they don’t even bother asking.
Staff looks depressed and miserable.
Sadly it looks like a declining business.
The only reason I go back to Cherry on Top is the Hawaian flavor, (and now they messed it up!) otherwise any other frozen yogurt place is better.
The owner should take note of those «bad» reviews and fix what’s wrong… otherwise they will close down soon.
Put some fresh paint, clean up your floors, windows, fix your toilets, smile, greet your customers, reward your customers, put more flavors, refresh your toppings. Compete for God sake!

I came here today ! Very nice place!
This’s my first time came here! I love it! There’s flavor tested different! It’s great!
My friend all love this! Good customer service! And also they have boba milk tea! I will come back again!

What a difference 3 years makes. This place has really gone down. I don’t know whether or not my aversion is due to the fact that I had started to going to Yogurtland, but I cannot eat Cherry on Top yogurt anymore.
I hadn’t been here since my last review (which I think was my first exposure to frozen yogurt, as you could probably tell from my over-​zealous review. Everything has a HORRIBLE aftertaste. The cherries had this chemical-​y aftertaste that made me want to gag. Not only did that turn me off, the frozen yogurt tasted horrible. I don’t get it? What happened? How can two frozen yogurt shops be so vastly different?
It wasn’t just that that turned me off, either. There wasn’t enough variety in toppings and they were stale and old! Yuck! What I paid $ 4.99 for here, I would have paid $ 3.50 for at Yogurtland…
If you’re serious about frozen yogurt, do what I should have done and drive a block or two down onto Lake ave. and go to the Yogurtland there. –_–

This is a fun yogurt shop, with a clean and sleek feel to it. The music is always bumping and you can grab a retro mod chair inside or outside and enjoy your yogurt !

The kids love it but it is just okay in my book! Cherry On Top has limited flavors —- none of which interest me. Customer service is okay and the place is clean but there are better ice cream options in the area.
For the afterschool crowd COT fits the bill. They seem to welcome the children and their noise without annoyance and the children never complain. The children seem to love the toppings bar which is more accessible to them than similar set ups.

In the late 80s/​early 90s, frozen yogurt options around the Dena were pretty limited. You had Penguins in Hastings Ranch and… Well, that was it for a while. Another early entrant to the market was Bananas Over Yogurt! In Monrovia, in the strip mall with Rubio’s, Toys R Us, etc. Both had employees pour and weigh your yogurt for you… It wasn’t until many years later that someone figured out how to charge folks by the ounce (yogurt and toppings together) and rake in the dough.
Fast forward to present day, and there are Froyo places in supermarkets and gas stations. The PCC Cherry on Top is nestled into a mixed use property, dominated by small apartments. With the tenants, guests, and one way Green St., parking is sometimes tough. There is a Pasadena City College overflow lot that everyone seems to use, but we’re probably not supposed to.
Anyway, as many have said, the yogurt is good, flavored generally don’t change… Except it seems the «new» flavors always appear on the right end of the taps. Topping island in the middle is well stocked. There is also a boba tea counter here.
There’s not a lot of seating, and someone sold them this weird Art Deco furniture that isn’t comfortable of kid friendly at all. Aside from that, this place is great.

FROYO SECTION:
Came in for a lunchtime dessert! I got to sample some of the flavours (PB, Cake batter, Pineapple Tart, and Taro)– people think the cake batter is sweet!?! The PB is way sweeter yuck. Went with taro and cake batter mmm, felt like I was eating cake and drinking taro smoothie at the same time.
Pineapple Tart was a lot more sorbet-​y than I thought haha. But I think the Tarts are nondairy… tastes like it.
Anyways the froyo are super creamy and heavy, not watery at all. Maybe it’s early in the day.
BOBA SECTION:
In addition, there is a nice little boba store behind them. I got to sample the cactus nectar… Adore! But I got full after my froyo haha. There is only one size!!! And I think it’s a 16oz? (Around 3.25 for a drink + .50 for extras. If you like larger servings of boba tea (ie 16oz), this place is actually cheaper than both Teaspots and Au79 by a few cents… I think.)
I ended up getting the Mango Lemonade (I see lemon bits in my tea! :D) and the man behind the register was really understanding of my order– I wanted unsweetened but the mango was really sweet, so he adjusted accordingly.
Last bit— HOLY FFFFFFFF wow they have one of the chewiest boba I’ve EVER had! Absolutely absolutely ABSOLUTELY A++++++ on chewiness.
Also fast service. Very very fast service.
And yes, place looks a tad bit dirty (worn) in the inside, but the outside patio is adorable!
Don’t let a few scratches and clean freak reviewers deter you from this place! :) if you don’t think the froyo is worth it, the boba totally is!
