Yogurt Paradise

CLOSED — out of business! Don’t go here.

Not the best fro-​yo, but I guess a part of that comes from my LA snobbery (where the fro-​yo craze started). The plain tart is good, but since the other tart flavors are limited at best (and nonexistent the last time I went), it loses out on the 4 star review. They are also trying to be healthier and now offer this weird, low calorie version of several of their flavors. It’s simply not good.
Stick to tart with mochi as a topping with any fruits that look fresh. This is its saving grace.
The wifi password is the phone number. Ask for a business card.

I have been going here for a while now cause it is close to my son’s house and i have become a fan.
The price is a little high but the yogurt is really good! I think at .35 an ounce it is a good value.
Try it you’ll be hooked too!

*100^th review for Yogurt Paradise!
My friends and I love coming here, its one of the very few frozen yogurt places that serves actual frozen yogurt.
Pros:
Quality: They actually use real ingredients within their yogurt. Their toppings and flavors may be limited, but it is always served fresh daily.
Service: I love the service here, they are always friendly and helpful with orders. And they are always do their best to maintain the cleanliness of the store and the yogurt machines. They also have Update email service where they email customers about weekly new flavors.
Ambiance: It’s one of the cleanest and spacious yogurt places within the area. Theres plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Theres also a comfy couch and free wifi for costumers.
Parking: There’s plenty of parking within the plaza so its never a hassle to get an order to-​go.
Overall, if you’re in the mood for froyo, this is a good place to dine in or to-​go a cold refreshing dessert.

I come here regularly and am always happy with their flavor selection and toppings. I love love me some froyo. Me and my bf had some fantastic concoctions we made ourselves last night. Two of us had exactly what we wanted for less than 8 bucks. Such a deal.
I’ll be back :)

After being adventurous and trying a new (and terrible) Indian joint out, I came here to get the awful taste out of my mouth. But hey, sometimes, being being a foodie is like being like a porn star. Right?
Seriously, both foodies and porn stars have strong oral fixations, are very adventurous, and will try anything at least once.
Anyway, I came here to «refresh» my mouth. As I was eating, I noticed these fun facts about yogurt on a (movie poster sized) light up sign inside this small fro yo shop:
–Rich in calcium and protein
–Increase immune system
–Increase colon protection
–Reduce osteoporosis risk
–Combats yeast infections
Wow. This poster was professionally done, but no one thought that words like «colon» and «yeast infection» might not look very «appealing» in bold, bright green, size 28 font?
Anyway, my fro yo was pretty decent and so were the toppings. It had a pretty good consistency. I left with a body full calcium, an enhanced immune system, my colon protected, and a reduced risk of osteoporosis. Go me.
Plus, the fro yo here totally healed my yeast infection!
Woo hoo!

This place was clean and the staff was friendly… but I was not impressed with their toppings bar at all. Not only did they have a VERY limited selection of fruit (for instance, strawberries are pretty standard, and they had NONE), but what they did have did not look remotely fresh. :(
The frozen yogurt itself was standard, and I’d probably bump this up a star or two if the toppings were better. Maybe I’ll give them another try, but I’d honestly rather drive another mile or two to go to Sweet Sundays.

Since I go to school about ten minutes away (walking distance, of course. Ha-​ha, I can’t drive!), I often get some froyo here with my friends. It’s not one of my TOP froyo places, but it is one of my most convenient froyo places to go. It’s pretty cheap, only $.35 an oz! They have eight yogurt selections. Plus, the place is pretty colorful when you walk in, and the environment is clean. They have a few tables to sit at inside and outside, plus a sofa. My only beef is that they don’t really have a great topping selection. Some of the fruit gets really dry or the mochi is a bit hard on some days. I suggest that you guys don’t come around 12 because most of the yogurt has a very soft consistency at that time because the joint is just opening.
Other than that, it’s all good if you want to go on a quick froyo run!

Not bad at all. it’s right by my house, it’s cheap, and when i get a craving Yogurt Paradise is always there. Although it doesn’t have as many flavors and toppings as Yogurtland (then again not many places do!) Yogurt Paradise get the job done!
Yogurt is 35 cents an oz which leans towards the cheaper side. The place is clean enough with a couple seats inside and out doors. There’s WiFi as well.
Honestly I can’t really complain! Only time I get mad is when they don’t have the taro flavor!

I don’t come here very often, but this place is decent for froyo. I like their euro tart (original plain tart flavor) the best. The topping selection isn’t that great, but at 35 cents an ounce, it’s not a bad deal. There aren’t that many froyo choices in south San Jose that I would recommend — this is probably the best in the area.
–L.

Note: this review is coming from a Pinkberry fan.
No, they don’t have the glamor and style Pinkberry does, but they certainly try – bright colors, sofas, etc. I walked in one night and didn’t expect much from this modest place, as usual. You see, I have this bad habit of going to self-​serve yogurt places *cough* Yogurtland *cough*, loading up on my samples, and then walking away without buying anything. Just to try it and prove it’s worse than Pinkberry and Red Mango. I know, it’s snobby of me, but hey, at least I give the other yogurt places a shot!
On this trip to Yogurt Paradise, I had just eaten all-​you-​can-​eat Indian food next door, was stuffed to the brim and was sucked in to the store only because someone else wanted dessert. So while I was there, I figured I might as well taste what they had… just to prove that their yogurt sucked too. Well, guess what Yogurt Paradise? You won me over. I was blown out of the waters. IMHO, this place earns a solid 4 stars, just based on their euro tart (original plain yogurt flavor) alone. I tried the pineapple flavor which was kind of nasty (and their topping selection kind of sucked), but the original tart makes up for it. It was delicious. Tart like it should be – like the original trend-​starters, Pinkberry and Red Mango, intended for this dessert to be. And it was cheap! Two thumbs up. If only they built one up north, like in the east bay or San Francisco… I’d go more often!

This place serves mostly tart yogurt, but they do have some non-​tart and sugar free frozen yogurt as well. They change flavors much to the disappointment of this elderly woman who came in with her husband. She was upset that they didn’t have her favorite flavor there, lol!
Right now the flavors they have are just OK. They have vanilla, rasberry, and mounds (just OK). It costs .35 cents an ounce. They have free wi-​fi and there is a sofa to sit on. The selection of toppings is decent although there isn’t a ton of stuff to choose from. Parking is plentiful as it’s in a strip mall.

Happened to be in the neighborhood and stopped by this local yogurt joint. I got the «euro tart» flavor, which is more tart & less creamy than Pinkberry. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s «icey». It’s just less creamy. I think it’s fine and I’d go back here again. At 35 cents/​ounce, it’s not too pricey.
Cons: limited topping choice, they only have 8 flavors, they ran out of gummi bears (how dare they!!).
Pros: abundant parking, friendly service, affordable.

Yogurt Paradise??? I went here and came out disappointed. Never again.
To me it seems like a knock-​off of Yogurtland. But a more expensive one? The hecks. Blegh. The frozen yogurt here is way too ice-​y for my liking and it melts way too fast (it’s even sadder that it melted at night when it was colder, imagine how fast it would melt in the summer). Some of the flavors even had the texture of a slushy, not authentic frozen yogurt. And being the big tart fanatic that I am, I loaded up my cup with tart and soon regretted it. It was too sour for my liking and I puckered my lips because of the sourness. I no later had to drink from my cup since it turned into liquid within 5 minutes.
For frozen yogurt I definitely like the creamier complexions. It’s just better quality yogurt. I rather pay more than eat (or in this case, drink) sour, melted water. Pinkberry and Red Mango for the win!
Sorry Yogurt Paradise.

Update: Fruit Toppings Not Ideal, Euro Tart Still Great
After many months of going here and comparing it to other frozen yogurt shops, I really need to knock this one down a couple stars. I do come here often for the Euro Tart flavor as it’s the lowest calorie tart frozen yogurt I’ve found and excellent if your counting your calories/​points. However compared to many other shops the fresh fruit here is a bit sad, they don’t have fresh plump berries. They also don’t have waffle cones and the machines can sometimes be inconsistent to dispense. Still A-​OK in my book.

On August 23, 2008 these were their flavors.
Plain
Original Plain Tart
Taro
Chocolate
Strawberry/​Banana (Sugar Free)
Maybe Peach? Can’t remember one of them.
Blueberry
Lychee
I love the Lychee flavor, I think I might like it more than the Mango flavor. Do people really like Taro or are they just having a hard time getting rid of it and that is why it’s still there? The Blueberry is still gross. I like the chocolate, but only a small bite with the lychee, just for taste and then some original tart (it’s a nice tart icy flavor, not creamy). The plain flavor tastes like a creamy vanilla, but I guess it’s not officially called vanilla, not much yogurt flavor that I could taste, but then I tasted 5 or 6 of them. Heh heh. Hey, it’s my Birthday WEEK, I can eat if I want to.
I love the «jelly» topping!

My mom’s co worker owns this shop, so I decided to try it out.
I found the experience here completely pleasant, not only is it conveniently located near my house, but the service is pretty good throughout.
Instead of going all the way to Sunnyvale to have some decent froyo, this place might just have to replace Yogurtland until the costly gas prices go down. Ahw!
The space is slightly small, but have enough seating — indoors and out. The décor could be slightly better, but at least it was clean.
The service was friendly and they even offered to show customers what to do– you know? (First time froyo-​ers.) I like how they placed sample cups out in the open so you didn’t have to ask and feel bad for taking 5 cups (guilty.) And throughout, you never felt rushed. There were 8 flavors, some were on the tarty side, but loved the fact they had Lychee– YUM! The toppings were alright, but was glad to find something different like combination jelly. «It’s like a pearl drink, but with Froyo!»
It’s 0.35 cents per oz, but it’s all good cause’ I got a «Buy 10 get one free card.» I’ll definitely be buying 10 more in the future, haa.

Delicious and reasonably priced!
I love this place because it’s local AND because they have LYCHEE and CHEESE CAKE toppings!
How fun!
Check it out YOGURT LOVERS!
(I also posted pictures of the ACTUAL yogurt. Because I go there for the yogurt not the ‘Yogurt Paradise Girls’ *rolls eyes*)

The first thing I noticed was the abundance of outdoor seating and the cleanliness. The customer service there is amazing. I never felt rushed (not even when sampling the flavors), and the owner was even nice enough to come out and ask us how we were enjoying the yogurt.
As for the yogurt, it’s a lot creamier than what I’m used to (is it just me or is Socal yogurt fruitier/​tartier?). I really liked the cookies & cream; my boyfriend really likes cheesecake and strawberry banana. They have a nice selection of toppings as well.
The pricing is pretty cheap. I believe it’s 35 cents an ounce. but I’m not too sure. The best part is they give a stamp card away! Meaning for all you Yogurt-​lovers, your 10^th yogurt is free. =)
