Yogurt Creations

I am writing this 1 star review based on an experience I had at this shop today, one in which I have never, ever encountered before.
First off, me and my friend came in at about 2:30 hoping to get some frozen yogurt. The moment we walked in, we were met with the seemingly angered eyes of 2 female employees. There were no hellos, just pissed off stares. My friend and I looked at each other sort of confused. It was extremely awkward, but we were really hungry so we ignored it. I work in a restaurant as a hostess, so customer service is my life. It bewildered me how anyone could be so rude to customers, especially without reason.
Next, we stood in front of the flavors deciding which one we wanted. That’s when I was sent over the edge, because we turned around to see the employees openly snickering and gossiping about us. I dont know how this business trains their employees, but this is no way that any human should behaving, especially in the workplace. We immediately left, and will never return ever again. I will warn anyone I know to not give their business here. Make sure the people you hire are people who actually will put effort into their job. Yogurtland has very nice and friendly employees, and they are a much better option than this place.

if this place wants to serve frozen yogurt, make sure your machines work. When I visited this location, your California tart wasn’t frozen.
When I asked for a refund for disgusting yogurt all I got was that they can’t do refunds.
Your yogurt is disgusting, and it’s not even frozen. I’ll happily take my froyo business to other ones.

Yogurt Creations is a self-​serve froyo store my friend and I stopped by on our way from SF to LA. The Belgian Cookie Gelato flavor was quite nice, although it was softer than I like my froyo. To be fair, there were bits of something (coconut shreds?) neither my friend nor I could identify (recurring theme while we ate, actually; we couldn’t dissect what flavors the Belgian Cookie Gelato was) in it, which would have made it melt faster.
Quick notes: The store is brightly decorated and clean. Daily flavors can be found online. In addition to cups, there are cones and prepackaged containers. Samples are given, but are handled by employees. There’s a plentitude of fun topping options.
Overall, I would say not bad, but certainly not memorable.

I love this place! They always have fresh raspberrys and blackberrys as well as all other important ingredienses. Just perfect. Ask for free samples of the yogurt if you have a hard time deciding.

The yogurt itself is fine but the staff and set up are very awkward! There is a sign about not touching the cups that you will use to fill with yogurt, instead an employee must hand it to you. Well, that’s all fine and well except that being the only patrons in this joint aside from one other customer, we still had to wait a considerable amount of time before we were graciously bestowed with a cup. Then, to try the samples, the employee had to fill out the ones we wished to try for us and hand them to us. Frankly, I felt like a 3 year old.
The yogurt wasn’t bad. It seemed average to me. I wish it was a little creamier, melted a little slower.

Hard to resist this on a hot day after a delicious meal at Firestone grill. Three years ago I found the 42c an ounce expensive… And then the prices of everything around me inflated. The yogurt this time was not watery, rather creamy, and hit expectations. No idea why but I like the non dairy whipped cream on my froyo, which stores around here have but not back at home. Red velvet continues to be one of my preferred yogurt flavors.

Wow what a great experience at a yogurt shop. I stopped in with a friend last night and we were greeted by Danielle. What a charming young woman. She was cleaning the sign out front when we arrived and it was obvious she showed the same attention to the inside. The shop was spotless. She of course offered us samples and our conversation turned to different types of yogurt and why her shop made the best. She was informative and passionate about her shop and took obvious pride in her company. She mentioned she was the night shift manager and I would hope the owners look to moving her up the chain soon. If I had a business she is the type of employee I would want.
The yogurt was wonderful and while I usually go to the shop in Atascadero, where I live, I will be sure to stop by this location when in SLO.
Great Job Danielle! Keep it up!

Despite the outside looking like it’s been run over by a crowd, it’s understandable because people from WOW probably flooded this palce before I came along. It’s a really quite places with bright colors. I’m glad that they have the smaller cups because there are some yogurt places that only carry one size of cup… which is the big one (too much for me).
There were a lot of candy toppings, mochi and popping boba too :]. I got the tahitian vanilla and strawberry with mochi, chocolate covered marshmallow, strawberry popping boba and fresh strawberry. The toppings were all as expected, mochi chewy and not hard (so happy about that), strawberries pretty fresh and chocolate not melted at all. I was really happy with that. The yogurt on the other hand, there were bites of ice in some bites… feels like the yogurt wasn’t mixed well or something. The strawberry also left a strange after taste.
For me, it was ok yogurt, but I’d try another place before coming back here.

Come on guys, Bali’s is the original and best tasting in SLO! Yogurt Creations has the glitz and more of a corporate vibe, and more disgusting candy toppings that draw in the families (and who wants to be stuck in line behind families when all you want is a quick fro-​yo?) Also why as a parent would you let your child have that… seriously let’s make a sensible yogurt treat, not the fro-​yo version of a «hurricane» soda pop. When in SLO, go to Bali’s, the original local place!

I like the place. It’s cleaner than Bali’s but I still like Bail’s. Toppings seem more fresher here and they have more choices for fro yo. Price is fine and they do not charge a fee for using credit cards. I do not think you can go wrong with choosing Bali’s or Yogurt Creations, but I believe this place has fresher fro yo and toppings than Bail’s. I like the peanut butter and vanilla flavors and the butterfinger, chocolate fudge, and cheesecake bites!!! Along with M&Ms and strawberries with nuts makes me a happy man :)
Staff is friendly and are cool with giving you samples.
Overall: Great fro yo, great service, great price.

I’ve enjoyed Yogurt Creations ever since they first opened in SLO (yes, I’m a Bali’s convert). I’ve brought out of town friends and family, created silly concoctions and wonderful memories. But recently, I’ve been nothing but disappointed… Being that my boyfriend has the sweet tooth in the relationship, I battle his fro-​yo cravings and powerful persuasion tactics on a nearly daily basis. Usually, I’m able to muster enough self-​control to deny the craving, but not always. Inevitably, my decision is determined after looking up the posted flavors online. BAD IDEA!
Last night, we had some friends over for dinner and thought we’d end the night with a short trip to Yogurt Creations. So we looked up the flavors online. The local flavors didn’t appeal to us, but the Paso Robles flavors were right on the money. So we all piled in our vehicles and drove up to Paso. We were excited to create a memory of driving the distance out of desperation for good fro yo… only to find, the website was wrong! Out of the 4 of us, 3 were able to settle on a flavor of their liking. I however, didn’t like any of the flavors well enough to justify spending the money or consuming the calories, I wouldn’t have been so upset, but I was the one who had convinced everyone to get frozen yogurt in the first place, and then drive up to Paso for the good stuff. This is NOT the first time it’s happened (although it is the first time I’ve driven out of the area after not liking my local flavors).
Moral of the story: Yogurt Creations, if you’re not going to accurately post your flavors for each location, don’t post them at all! I would rather go to my local location not knowing the flavors and be slightly bummed out, than convince a group of people to drive a distance for specific flavors only to find that you don’t have them!

Interesting flavors of Froyo, except the Vanilla which was super sweet.
Decent amount of flavors, but the toppings were not that fresh. The mochi was really old tasting and had a bitter aftertaste. The popping boba was meh.
Price is really good though.

About six flavors to choose from but fresh fruit topings and PLENTY of other yummy toppings to pick from for 42¢ an ounce

They charge you 1.50 to eat there — go sit on the steps on Higuera/​Marsh instead!

This place has so many different flavors! They usually have some unique flavor since it changes pretty often. Most of the flavors I’ve tried were pretty good. But my favorite from them is their eurotart! It’s one of the better ones I’ve had :) They also have a variety of toppings!
I usually just get the yogurt in the tubs since it’s cheaper! Then i can eat anytime i want at home: D

Bali’s «loyalist» no longer. You did well, Yogurt Creations.
You even have EUROTART on a regular basis. Yessss! Like Gabrielle J. said, I don’t want to like this place MORE than Bali’s but it’s cutting it pretty close. The prices are also the same, which is making it hard to compete.
Good work on keeping the fruit fresh and the topping area so clean.

I used to love this place but one really bad experience turned me off. I used to come here a lot because it used to be the only fro yo option other than Bali’s back in the day when I was a freshman at Cal Poly.
The frozen yogurt is pretty good and they have a couple good flavors. They also have fresh toppings that aren’t rummaged through even though they have huge foot traffic.
Why I won’t come back:
My friends and I came here about a year ago and asked if we could sample some of the flavors. We were given sample cups so we went ahead to the machine and got some samples. A few seconds later, one of the other employees walked out and literally yelled at my friend for putting too much in his sample cup. She snatched away our sample cups and proceeded to reprimand us for using the machines ourselves. I dont know if she was having a bad day or what, but honey, ITS A YOGURT PLACE, calm down. I understand you have to watch your customers and that maybe he poured a little too much in his sample cup, I just dont think it was necessary for her to reprimand all of us (a group of 4+) in such a harsh way. Anyways, we ended up walking out so that we could avoid a drawn out yelling match and havent been back since!
Word of advice from someone who has worked at Coldstones and a Fozen Yogurt shop– BE NICE! No need to yell at customers, they’ll just take their business somewhere else!

Good flavors, fresh toppings, and good service. I really enjoyed the white chocolate, vanilla, and Dulce de leche so far and am looking to try more flavors. They have a nice array of toppings pretty much everything and they aren’t stale. A good place to hit up late at night and get some yogurt after a fun day downtown or whatever.

I love how they have so many unique flavors and the ones they serve change pretty frequently! My favorite has to be the Cinnamon Bun froyo. OMG it tastes amazing… seriously tastes like a cinnamon bun!
TIP! They sell their flavors in big tubs for 25−50% off! Usually one will cost less than $ 5 and you get a LOT of froyo. Definitely worth it if they’re selling your favorite flavor. Then you can enjoy it anytime at home and it lasts a long time! But I guess that’s a little dangerous…

Hot day in SLO craving some frozen yogurt and this place quenched my thirst. Great flavors and a good variety of toppings. I always judge yogurt places on the quality of their original flavor and theirs is pretty good. It is a little more yogurt-​ey tasting than than I expected. I normally like the creamy and tart textures.
I also tried the lemonade flavor which was really good. It was called «Pink Lemonade Sorbet» so i’m not sure if it was actually a yogurt but it was exactly what I needed. The toppings were fresh and the service was great.
