Yogurtwave

Okay, this sounds crazy but this is the best frozen yogurt place I’ve been to so far in OC. They have a great selection of flavors from fruity to creamy which is great. I love the pineapple mixed with the watermelon. My wife likes the pineapple with coconut.
The funny part of this place are two things. When you walk in, most of the time there is no one up front. So you walk to the back of the store and grab a cup to begin the process, then all of a sudden someone from the back jumps out and greets you! The first few times I was taken back, but I guess they are working back there and now I’m used to them jumping out from the back. The second funny thing are the dispensers for the sprinkles and nuts. It’s kind of like an old candy machine where you twist the knob. But in this case the sprinkles or nuts come pouring out if you aren’t careful. Bad idea on that use of storage.
Overall, the girls in there are super nice and the yogurt is great with great selections. My wife isn’t a big fan of frozen yogurt, but loves this place.

I promise that I will try the other stuff that you have! I cannot distract my vision from looking and going to the frozen yogurts wall and the toppings table whenever I walk in here! It’s just too much excitements in that right side of the walk way in!
My fave: Red Velvet froz + the 3 types of bursting bubbles = I am a happy camper. I am a red velvet ice cream lover and Yogurtwave’s red velvet froz really curb my crave! Thank YOU — and please never take this out of your menu ever again!
My husband’s fave: German Chocolate and lots of toppings and chocolate liquid thingy — no complaint from him either!
They accept cash: Mayco’s staying put in this store!
The guy at the counter is a friendly and fast in checking us out. The spoon that they have for froz are earth friendly (to be honest I don’t mind either way — but if there’s a choice, I’ll prefer this ones). Overall satisfactory!

Yogurt was good. Not a lot of flavors to choose from though and it was overpriced. I would have preferred to have gone to Yogurtland off Harbor where I would have a wider selection of flavors and toppings AND it would have been cheaper.

Sweet little spot… literally. All around awesomeness. Seriously worth a visit. Cool décor, friendly staff and good selections add up to 5 stars.

I’m raising my review to a 3-​star for now. I appreciate the owner writing me an extensive email explaining to me that they did take action immediately after I wrote about the stale peanuts/​almonds and icy yogurt from my last visit. Thank you for your investigation (turns out there was a bad seal on a nut can.) I haven’t had the chance to come back yet but I will give Yogurtwave another visit in the near future. Thank you Kerry, I appreciate your response.

It’s a super cute shop with a beach/​surf theme… clean and organized. The flavors were overall good, but I didn’t like the watermelon at all… too sweet and candy-like…yuck! Lots of toppings to choose from, but I wish there were more fruits to choose from… love banana with my yogurt. I came in with my groupon and had to buy two extra drinks to make the 8 bucks so I wouldn’t loose out on my $$. Great deal and great place :)

Tried Yogurt Wave from a Groupon that I bought. First impression when I walked into the shop was the overwhelming cigarette smell — the cashier must have been smoking in the back because it reeked of smoke. My husband loves tart and liked the Blueberry Acai and Tart twist. I had a hard time deciding and tried almost all the flavors. The Red Velvet cake is has great flavor. A lot of the other flavors lacked pizaz thus only three stars. One of the other people buying yogurt mentioned that they had better flavors in the winter. I settled with Chocolate and Vanilla twist with chocolate covered raisins — great tasting flavors. As other people have mentioned the yogurt is priced on the high side ! I prefer Cherry on Top !

I wanted to like the yogurt here because they’ve got some unique flavors, but the taste wasn’t as good as the names suggested. It’s also very soupy, so expect it to melt quickly after you’ve filled your bowl.
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut — I suppose it kinda tastes like white chocolate, but it lacked definition on my palate.
Reese’s Peanut Butter — This was the best thing I put in my cup. It’s like eating actual peanut butter, but it’s yogurt. Your mind = blown.
Red Velvet Cake — Meh. Too syrupy.
Chocolate Wave — Absolutely horrid. How you can so badly botch a staple flavor is a little puzzling.
The toppings didn’t look very appealing. Some were in cheap plastic containers hanging on the wall, others were in bins randomly placed in a self-​serve area. But they looked a little old and gross. My friend got the cookie dough and said it was revolting. The guy working there was friendly enough. Cool mural on the wall, too, however, I won’t be going back.

Best yogurt place in Santa Ana (other than Pinkberry way on the other side of town).
— Loved their Acai bowl, «South Coast» tart & acai yogurt.
— Friendly staff.
— Cute little shop.
— Nice location.

Great local spot. Free WiFi. Friendly staff.
Check out there rewards program… VERY generous.

Purchased a $ 10 for $ 5 groupon & checked this place out last Friday. Service was a 5+, the guy working there was super friendly & happy & cool, told us some interesting facts bout the artwork & owners. When we arrived, he was in the middle of experimenting with some smoothie flavor, so when I went up to make my order, he poured the rest so I could sample it :) I got the regular Acai bowl w/​granola & bananas ($ 5.99) but I didn’t really enjoy it. It was icey and lacked flavor. Robeks still makes my favorite Acai bowls. Their yogurt is good though ($ 0.39/oz.) & they have a lot of topping options! Forgot which flavors I tried but there was one that reminded me of an orange creamsicle. Mmm!

No doubt the yogurt here is pretty good and the décor is colorful and cool. There is also a nice selection of toppings in cool dispensers. Yogurt Wave also offers great chocolate syrups. The guy at the register reminded me of a surfer dude, which fits the «wave» part of the business name. He was friendly and social. Even told a funny story. The big «con» for me with this place is that is was not well kept. The toppings at the bar were practically empty and there were toppings all over the floor. it looked disgusting so I skipped the topping bar and just used the dispensers.
Good yogurt… messy spot. Worth another visit to see if the surfer dude was relaxing a hadn’t gotten around to keeping the place up to par or if the messiness is consistent.

I have purchased two yogurts from here before and they tasted fine. I liked the fact that they had different types of granola. This place isn’t as hip as Yogurtland, but it does have some things that makes it stand out.
Acai bowls (which I decided to try out today). The original one is 5.99+tax. It tasted good and healthy. It was a pretty gargantuan size, I only ate half and stuck the rest in the freezer. *update* decided to give it another chance and got the rio bowl. they really don’t know how to make it!!! it was even droopier and liquidy than before :(I asked for it to be thick… lecry~
Teas/​Smoothies. Never had these yet and I don’t really care enough to try.
Alas, Yogurtland has more flavors and is cheaper than Yogurtwave (I think YW is 39cts an ounce). Though I must say… Yogurtwave beats Yogurt Bar (practically across the street off of Bristol from it) by a huge margin!

This place is pretty much on par with yogurtland. Haven’t tried their drinks or smoothies, but they seem to have a pretty good selection!

Not much of a selection of flavors here. Lots of toppings, most of which are unlabeled. Nutrition guide is behind the register so you have to ask for it to figure out that you’re eating between 90 and 120 calories per cup. Price is based on weight and at a little over an ounce, I paid like $ 4. Service was efficient and the place appeared clean.

The yogurt here is pretty amazing! I liked the flavors the shop had and the toppings too. What sets this place apart, among the other places I’ve tried, is that there were some amazing shakes/​smoothies, (such as hibiscus, rose and lavender). There were also some pastries, cookies and other non-​yogurt offerings.
I chose the pomegranate raspberry, the red velvet, and the choco-​vanilla twist with raspberries, sprinkles and strawberries. The dry toppings are on the wall in cereal dispensers so you don’t overload.
The store was pretty clean and the staff are really helpful. Definitely my new favorite in the area!

Yogurt Wave is by far my favorite yogurt place! Amongst the amazing murals and unique décor, you find non-​fat yogurt and toppings that don’t taste like non-​fat. Their piña colada smoothie is to die for! Dietrich’s coffee (hot or iced), tea, pastries — it’s good for breakfast, lunch or dessert!

This is a great little froyo shop… Its like pink berry and cherry on top… but it have way more variety… endless toppings… the staff was very welcoming and helpful…

The husband discovered this place on a day out and about and he was impressed with the mom and pop shop feel. He is always on the look out for something cool and refreshing during the hotsummer days. So he being half flip and always on the look out for Asian persuasion in yogurt and tea houses, he loved that they had taro flavored yogurt. I love the creamyness of taro mixed with the fruit flavored sherbet flavored froyo. I am minimalist when it comes to toppings unless I have weird candy craving or something. However the hubs was disappointed about the lack of coconut jelly (hello this is the so coast area, not lil saigon) however within a couple of days they put lychee out, which appeased him for the time. The owner is very friendly and open to any new ideas or flavors and suggested trying the smoothies. which according to the menu had a wide variety of flavors and is still a work in progress.
They had a variety of smoothies, so we will have to check that out soon.
They have new froyo flavors in all the time, can’t wait to taste coconut froyo that should be out today.

I just discovered this place near my apartment complex and I couldn’t be more thrilled! The format is similar to Yogurtland or Cherry On Top, but the selection of yogurt flavors and toppings — many of which are gourmet and specialty ingredients — is much, much better. (Yo, sugar-​free dark chocolate sauce that actually tastes like dark chocolate sauce? Three different sugar-​free yogurt flavors? I’m in love…) Pricing is extremely reasonable, too. And the place just looks really cool inside. Score one for South Coast Metro.
My only complaint is that some of the toppings aren’t clearly labeled, and the toppings area needs more lighting.
