Viva Yogurt Cafe

The yogurt is awesome! Great place for a snack or dessert after dinner. Fantastic with friends. Too bad it’s closed now. :(

No more Viva. Went by today (11÷03÷12) and the place is empty. It’s a shame, business seemed to be good. No notes, no signs… nothing. Bummer.

Was a fan! Lights are out and the phone’s no longer in service. Looks like Viva Yogurt Café is no longer =-(

The place looks very nice, clean and comfy. They have good flavors, Favorite was the Red Velvet and Peanut butter. Good selection of toppings, fruit was nice and fresh.
Best part was the customer service, very friendly staff.

I thought it was hilarious that they recommended you feed your dog 2 ounces of yogurt as it would aid in their digestive system.
The yogurt was good.
There weren’t as many flavors as i would have hopped. However, they did have Carrot Cake Froyo. I was not adventurous enough to try this.

I used to be frustrated by this place. Good yogurt, but kinda lame because they closed early when I was craving some froyo.
Anywayyy, fast forward to now, and I’m really liking it. It’s a small place, but it’s so close to my house. I was pretty impressed with how clean everything was, and the topping selections for such a small place. Mango, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries… And they were all beautiful. What really made it better was that the owner was chit chatting with a former employee like «oh heyyy, you’re awesome. miss ya girl» and they kind of forgot that I was standing in line. I wasn’t mad or anything, just kinda waiting, looking at the toppings… But then he turned into the sweetest guy. Like, imagine your sweet uncle with a mustache and his family is all around you, (your aunt and cousin) and he’s like «I’M SO SORRY!!!» And he gives you an extra stamp on your yogurt card for the trouble. It’s like the best family reunion you’ve ever been to.

Graham cracker crust on top of vanilla fro-​yo, mmmmm :) consistent flavors and toppings.

My husband and I come here often. We love the frozen yogurt here. However, most nights we come after church and they have closed an hour early! And this has been an ongoing thing. It gets very frusterating. We have resorted to a new yogurt place because of this. Owners please fix this problem! We love the yogurt but wish you were open until your posted time!!!

Red velvet, cake batter, mocha … these are some of the delicious flavors you can find here. Don’t forget about the chocolate rocks and crazy selection of toppings they have here! Yummy!!!
Why not five stars? Just not a huge fan of this parking lot.

This place is great!!! The flavors are great in every way and the toppings, so many toppings. The great thing about Viva is the healthy yogurt they have and how the Eurotart you can give to your puppy and it helps their digestion system. I bought 4 pints of the Red Velvet because one of the people there said that I could freeze them. Once I freeze the yogurt, and when I want it, i just leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours and then it is good as new.
Viva is the best because the yogurt tastes so good and the price= .38cents/​oz is such a reasonable price unlike other yogurt shops!!!

Nice yogurt place. Good choice of adds. My kids love it.
It has Haribo bears.

I walked into Viva Yogurt Café and the flavor Red Velvet Cake jumped out at me and screamed my name. Oh. My. Gosh. To die for. It was so yummy I had to come back just a few days later to get another taste of that yummy goodness.
It is a self serve place, that has a great variety of about 8 – 10 different yogurt flavors. Another noteworthy one was green tea. They have lots of different toppings — candy and fruit. They have nice little sample cups for you to try all of the flavors before you fill your big cup. You pay according to the weight of your bowl. You can expect to pay around $ 4.50 for a completely full bowl.
Great atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, friendly employees.
Can’t wait to go back :-)

What happened? The first two times I came in the yogurt was okay at best. This last time? Disgusting. We stopped in to cleanse our palate, what we got was a watery mess. I figured it was only a few machines that were dispensing the yogurt in a watery form. Nope, all of the machines were like that. The mochi bits didn’t taste fresh at all. They were stuck together and tasted almost like gum drops. I’m really glad we got a small amount because we would’ve been pretty upset if we paid a lot for it. I liked this place because it was convenient… well, I think I’d rather go somewhere less convenient if it meant I’d get better quality fro-​yo. The interior of this place is inviting though. Viva, you’ve just lost a customer. Sorry.

This yogurt place is awesome! I have been to mostly all of the one’s in pleasanton, and I would vote this one the best.
There are a lot of toppings too choose from too.
I filled my whole bowl up today and it only cost $ 3.50! That’s a hecka good price compared to the other yogurt shops. And the staff is really nice and willing to help.

Solid serve-​yourself froyo at decent prices. Nice informative yogurt saleslady.

When I saw the Grand opening signs for Viva, I thought «do we really need another yogurt place in Pleasanton»? After a visit to Viva the answer is definitely YES! Great selection of yogurt, fresh tasting flavors with no sugary aftertaste (like alot of frozen yogurts sometimes have) and lots of healthy (or not so healthy) topping choices. The prices are very reasonable. I love the décor, soft lights, wood floors, and easy to get to after a soccer game at the Sports Park!
The flavor offerings are very good, I hope to see more variety to choose from in the future.

On a cold, foggy December day, I needed to get the taste of pizza out of mouth. It was a totally inappropriate day for yogurt, but I could think of nothing better. So I checked Unilocal and found myself in the Hopyard Village for the first time in years.
It’s self-​serve @ 38c/​oz. I liked that they kept the sample cups nearby. So many other self-​serve yogurt shops try to ration these. I first tried the mango tart and had to throw away the sample. I then moved onto the plain tart, which I was creamier than I expected but still really nice. Finally, I tried the caribbean coffee and settled on going with just the plain tart.
As for toppings, I was a little disappointed with the fruit selection. The strawberries looked disgusting. Maybe strawberries are supposed to be that dark, but that definitely wasn’t what I was expecting. I was also surprised that they weren’t sliced. I went with chocolate chips and blueberries, and was pleased that I only spent $ 3.04.

Have you heard about Viva Yogurt Café!!! Well it is a NEW and AMAZING fro-​yo place in Pleasanton near the Sports Park! :)
I went there last night (after eatting sushi across the way – perfect after dinner treat) because a friend told me I had to check out this new place and I am so glad that I did! It was the BEST fro yo ever! You heard me… IT WAS AWSOME! :D
I tried the raspberry flavor and decided to fill my cup up with that and a mix of chocolate and vanilla! And you cannot forget about the toppings. it was like Halloween a week early! A candy that I saw at Viva that I have never seen at a yogurt café was whoppers and that is like my all time favorite candy – it was so yummy!
The two workers I met were so nice and Emily, one of the workers, helped me out by offering me samples of the fro-​yo so I could choose exactly what I wanted to have. She was so friendly and full of energy! There was also samples of their new green tea and cookies which were great!
The fro yo is the same fro yo as the Yogurt Shack in Danville which, I would drive super far to go to, and now it is close to my home.
Overall, you have to check this place out, you won’t be disappointed plus they told me they are going to be having a pumpkin flavor coming soon! SWEET! :)

This place had their grand opening today and offered free yogurt up til 10pm! It’s another self-​serve place and you shouldn’t be surprised because they have been popping up like crazy in the Tri Valley this summer. The environment isn’t very warm and welcoming but they do have indoor as well as outdoor seating. I believe there were 4 machines right when you walk in and I’m thinking that may cause them some congestion in the future. They had cake batter, mocha, peachy peach, original tart, strawberry, vanilla, and I think chocolate? I can’t remember what the last two were but I think chocolate was one of them. After that is the toppings section which includes dry ingredients in clear bins with scoopers, and then a fridged area with fruits and mochi. I opted for my favorite toppings (chopped almonds & mochi) and ran with it! Haha jk like I mentioned before it was free up until 10pm tonight. Anyway, all in all it has a nice flavor to it and the insider scoop I received was that their yogurt supplier is the same as Yogurt Shack in Danville! So if you like the quality of their stuff you should definitely come check out Viva Yogurt Café. I will be back here again and again because it’s closest to where I’m at [:
P. S. It’s in the right hand corner across from Hopyard Grill. kinda hard to see at night time if you aren’t familiar with the Hopyard Plaza (like me!)
