Yogurtology

Yogurtology: the art + science of frozen yogurt! Aka yum! Striking atmosphere of white and chrome and full Windows. On any given day there are 14 varieties of frozen yogurt with some dairy or gluten free. Add toppings of fruit, nuts, or candy and then it’s weighted on the scale. I like that the staff always greets you sincerely at the door and eagerly offers various samples, including their flavor of the month. Today Clarissa (I think) was super pleasant and eager to please. No pun intended, but it’s a nice place to chill! I particularly prefer this location to the south Tampa location due to the staff and clientele. Parents just beware how much your enthusiastic youngsters add to their bowls; can add up first.

Very cute frozen yogurt store. Service is amazing and the place is super clean. They keep the toppings loaded and stalked. Great flavors and they also have this option called bottomings. Which you can place choice of various sweets at bottom then middle layer would be your yogurt of choice then comes your variety options for toppings. First I heard of bottomings; that’s pretty creative and new yogurtology

Pretty average for the many froyo places out there these days, but for me the biggest thing is that the toppings aren’t covered by lids and it makes it very easy to accidentally spill into another container which is quite a concern with any allergies out there. You would think that would be a health concern or violation of some sort. Other than lids and being the more expensive option of froyo, it wasn’t bad.

The yogurt is fine. The store is immaculate. However that was the most apathetic customer service I have ever received. Clearly there is no Customer Service training or this kid is the owners’ son as he obviously has no financial interest. When I asked if they had bananas, I’m getting Nutella yogurt so of course I want bananas, I was told ‘No, because people would be complaining they were brown by now.’ I have a lot of suggestions for what he could do with the bananas and not all of them are strictly food service related.
I don’t come here often because I think it’s overpriced. The only reason I came back was because the customer service the first time was phenomenal. My 2^nd visit will be my last also because of the customer service.

Just needed a late afternoon «pick me up» as I drove home from Carrollwood and I remembered this place was on the West side of Dale Mabry.
Unfortunately, at 430pm on a Monday you literally had to walk in the door to know the store was even open or that it was not out of business.
There was absolutely no customers inside or outside on that putting green patio, but they could do a little more to say, «Hello. We’re open!» Being next to a Verizon store in an isolated building that doesn’t even face the highway directly does not help. I would imagine most people have already driven by when they notice it and they aren’t going to be making a U-​turn on that road to come back.
The two guys working inside were fine for not having anything to do and they actually seemed a little disappointed that I wanted no samples, had no questions, didn’t want toppings and was in and out of there with $ 2.79 worth of two flavors in under 90 seconds. (And that’s more than I usually get by the way. I feel a little bloated.)
Those flavors were something lemon and another with pecan and the taste was definitely there. Sorry, I don’t make a big deal out of frozen yogurt unless it is the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and Elaine take it to a lab because they’ve been gaining weight and Newman gets really pissed off with the end result.

Very nice and clean froyo store. They have 1 dairy free option that was really refreshing on a very hot day. Lots of toppings to choose from!!! Good variety of fruit, and candy stuff. They have mochi! The toppings bar was very clean and neat.
The lady working was friendly and offered samples if any flavor you wanted to try. Wish they had more dairy-​free options but overall a nice store !

As far as froyo goes, Yogurtology is top of the line. The stores are consistently clean, the toppings are endless, and the staff is always welcoming. The seasonal flavors are always top notch and you’ll even find seasonal toppings. I love that you can get something for the bottom as well! I enjoyed a full-​size oatmeal cream pie with my salted caramel frozen yogurt. Divine! You can keep it healthy with fruit or go all out with a heavenly chocolate creation. There are also low-​fat options and sorbets if that’s your preference. There’s even yogurt for pups! If you’re looking for a delicious snack or dessert, then Yogurtology is a great choice.
Don’t skip a drizzle of the cookie butter!

I haven’t tried a single flavor here that I didn’t love! Don’t be scared to ask for a sample to taste, they are more than happy to help you find a new favorite :)

Coming from somewhere that has a great froyo joint every 5 miles or less, I didn’t have high expectations for Yogurtology. If anything I was just looking for a place that «would do in a pinch». Well, I am thrilled to say that this place made every place I’ve ever been to look shabby. From the décor to the gorgeous array of fresh fruit toppings and lychee bubbles — and the huge array of flavors– it was fantastic. So, why does it lose a star? 2 small cups of froyo cost $ 15.50. In MD we would get 4 cups for that price. I don’t know how they get away with those prices but it just doesn’t seem like the value was there.

Friendly… very clean… and very good yogurt.

I am pleased that each Yogurtology store seems to maintain the same commitment to quality. I had previously reviewed the Citrus Park Yogurtology, but I enjoy this busy store on Dale Mabry just as much.
This store is smaller than others I’ve been in, but fortunately they seem to offer the same excellent selection. One worker was standing next to the fro-​yo dispensers, pouring sample cups of whatever flavor you wanted to try. They had about ten different flavors, including two non-​dairy options. I tried the Captain Crunch which actually tasted just like Cap’n Crunch — bizarre! But, I stuck to my faves — cake and salted caramel.
Topped with some mini-​nonpareils and rainbow sprinklers, dash of caramel sauce, and don’t forget to ask for whipped cream on top — perfect!
We sat outside — they have a patio area set with tables & chairs, on artificial grass. I guess growing the real stuff wasn’t an option, so I appreciate the effort. Favorite fro-​yo, great store.

This is my favorite place to get fro yo because there are so many toppings to choose from! I also like the unique flavors. my favorite is oatmeal cookie, cake batter, and peanut butter. I love that they have cookies at the beginning to put at the bottom. They have lots of outdoor seating and it’s very clean.

I think this is the cleanest and most organized well run yogurt spot in Tampa thus far. I like the fact you don’t get to run crazy with samples and make a mess for the next person to look at. I like the fact there’s an employee keeping things under control and ready to answer any questions or concerns. They are friendly and very helpful. The flavor options and toppings are plentiful and Deeeeelish! The décor is mod and crisp. I love it!

Holy malarkey on a bicycle YEAH!!! Best frozen yogurt place ever! Vast array of yogurt flavors and the biggest most awesome topping selection I have ever seen! I mean fruity pebbles and lucky charms for toppings? Gummy candy toppings up the wazoo? Every candy bar topping known to mankind? It can’t get any better. I was like a school girl! We need to get one if these in Hartford county.

I wanted some yogurt and had narrowed my choices down to Yogurtology and Yogurt Mountain thanks to the Unilocal reviews. Ultimately I decided on Yogurtology because they have frozen yogurt for dogs and my two spoiled Golden Retrievers love frozen yogurt.
When we went it was really slow so the only employee there was very attentive and helpful. We decided to sample the two most popular flavors, Oatmeal Cookie and Salted Caramel. They were both very good, but I liked the Oatmeal Cookie more. For our next visit we will probably sample a few more flavors… but maybe not. Oatmeal cookie was really good.
My husband is not a fan of these do it yourself frozen yogurt shops and always makes fun of me for going. I was shocked when he grabbed a container. Seems the «bottoms» bar and the oatmeal cookie frozen yogurt won him over. The bottoms bar is such a great concept. I’m unfortunately counting calories, so no bottom for me. With 4 oz. of frozen yogurt, tons of fresh strawberries and a sprinkling of granola and white chocolate chips I got an amazing tasting dessert for around 150 calories.
The yogurt is pretty pricey and the rewards program isn’t the best I’ve ever encountered, but we can’t wait to go back. Our dogs devoured their yogurt, as did we.
Like others have said this place is impeccably clean. Luckily the employee did not follow us around cleaning up right after us though. She was very sweet and helpful, gave us lots of tips and talked about some of her favorite things.

Yogurtology.
What I can say? They converted me. I am a die hard disbeliever in anything somewhat good for you being enjoyable.
But, Yogurtology disproves all of that, by being the best of both worlds. You can be naughty. You can be nice. And you can choose to do both, relatively guilt free.
First, the place itself. CRAZY clean. Kind of looks like a sexy penthouse apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. White, clean, streamline. Very contemporary. Blows my mind that they went with white chairs, white benches and white tables when there is all that chocolatey goodness everywhere. Yet, the place sparkles from top (pings) to bottom (s).
We’ll address that little pun in just a moment.
Let me walk you through the Yogurtology experience.
Pull up. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. If you can’t find some right out front, there is some just off to the right. A beautiful little green area outside with super clean tables with umbrellas and benches to enjoy your sweet treat during this balmy Florida winter we’re having. How that area manages to stay so spotless outside is beyond me. Step into the front door. We were greeted immediately by Freddy and Diane. Lovely folks who took us on a quick tour of the place, pointed out all the highlights (which I will TRY to relay with a fraction of the eloquence they did) and told us about the checkout process (so easy!) They also assisted us with little tasting cups to sample different flavors. But, I am getting ahead of myself (cause it’s so damn GOOD!) First look to the right… white couch, big screen TV over the couch. And then, the «bottoms» bar. Here is where you find the cups in varying sizes where you will start sculpting your work of art. In this case you will find pound cake, brownies, waffles, etc. Choose one, stack two, Get greedy, rock three! But steady yourself… because your next step?
The wall of yogurt. The long, lovely, curvy, beautiful wall of yogurt. What I really loved about this wall, is not only are there like, video monitors, showing you the flavor with a pretty pic, but there is also the nutritional information and all possible allergens are listed there as well as any yogurts that are «NSA» (no sugar added)
I think, if memory serves, there were…14 flavors? I can’t name them all. I am not even going to attempt to try. I just need to show you THIS:
(Fluffy Cotton Candy? Peanut Butter and Jelly? SMORES??? STOP!!! My inner 9 year old is losing her MIND!)
Please wipe the drool from your keyboard.
I chose a yummy Golden Cupcake Batter and a Salted Caramel yogurt combo over a bottom of pound cake. I also added a squirt of the (seasonal only) pumpkin spice yogurt, since the day I came in was the last day it was available. I was not letting it get away from me. I COULD have very happily stopped right there… but then, look to the left.
The toppings bar. Oh my GAWD.
Cookies, candies, cakes, nuts, fruits… there’s just every possible topping you can imagine. You can go healthy or you can go full on diabetic coma. Pile on a little, pile on a lot. It’s all about you at this point. Then, afterward, the Slopping Bar… this is an assisted area, with sauces like strawberry sauce, butterscotch, whipped cream, fudges, etc. Then, put your Masterpiece on the scale, weigh it and pay it. Then you are off to eat to your hearts delight. They have cold drinks behind the counter. They have doggie yogurt treats to bring home to your favorite four legged.
But one of the best things they have is a very charitable heart. They do fundraising for local and national charities where you can go out, have your yummy yogurt while making 20% of the proceeds from your party go to the charity of your choice.
They even had a fudgey chocolate flavor that day, sponsored by Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte with all proceeds from that flavor going to the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation.
I don’t know about you, but if I am going to go off the «deep end» (ha, swim joke!) with my yogurt, I am going to make sure that my money goes to a good cause. Eat good, do good. Or, balance out your too many candy toppings karma by eating a flavor that gives your hard earned cash to a good cause.
Bottom line, I loved the whole Yogurtology experience. It was the most fun you can possibly have with your clothes on… but, should you want to try it with your clothes off? They have full on «to go» service. They also sell cute T-​shirts, should you get sloppy with your toppings.
Oh, and before I forget? Two words for you Mom’s? Party Room! They have a large back room for parties, office meetings, baby showers, «sweet» 16 pre parties, whatever! It’s a great place to hold a party of about 30 people.
Just go. It’s amazing. Tell Freddy «Natasha» sent you. ;)

The Line Up:
Salted Caramel & Peanut Butter Cup, topped with heath bar, reese’s pieces, butterfinger &oreo crumbles.
Cake Batter, topped with oreo, brownie, hot fudge & nutella.
I inhaled mine. It was dinner and I wouldn’t do a thing differently. The BF ate his & seemed to enjoy it.
Brittney helped me out with samples and was great about giving feedback on other customer favorites and options.
Lots of toppings, holy ish! There is something for everyone here, every mood, too.
I had a Groupon, otherwise this venture would have cost me 13 bucks. Pricey!
YAY GROUPON AND BUSINESSES THAT USE GROUPON!!!
I’m glad I purchased two groupons… I’ll do this again!

I was really impressed with Yogurtology but this seems like the strangest location for a frozen yogurt shop. It’s hidden in a back corner with its only neighbors being a Verizon store and a former Borders that is becoming a medical center. I have to say this is the «fanciest» frozen yogurt place I’ve ever been in. It looks like something out of the Jetsons or Minority Report. There’s funky, futuristic looking furniture and LCD screens above each yogurt station explaining what flavor is there.
This is the only yogurt place I’ve seen in Tampa that also has full sized cookies, brownies, and doughnuts that you can select. There’s a really nice selection of flavors for the yogurt. I’m not sure how often they rotate them since this was my first time here. I thought that the oatmeal flavor couldn’t possibly be good and that ended up being my favorite. I was really impressed with the selection of toppings they had also. They had way more fruit than I was used to seeing and some very unusual toppings, such as baklava! They have real hot fudge, which is a must for me.
The only complaint I had was how they dealt with the sample cups. I have never been to a self service yogurt place that wouldn’t just simply give you a few sample cups. I was informed that the employees had to do it for you, which meant that I had to wait for them to finish cashing out another customer. They then walked over and got the sample for me as if I was a three year old. I didn’t understand that at all.
The price seemed a little higher than other yogurt places but I thought that it was justified by the offerings. Overall I really liked this place.

Yogurtology is one of the better frozen yogurt (FroYo) chains in my part of town, and it’s a great place to visit for a tasty (and dare I say, healthy?) dessert. You’ll find Yogurtology in a small shopping plaza along N. Dale Mabry next to a Verizon phone store, and near the old Border’s bookstore.
The shop is spotlessly clean (some would say obsessively OCD) with gleaming white tables, chairs, and counters. Along the wall you’ll find the FroYo machines, and as with similar shops, you pick up your empty container and walk along, reading the labels until you find your flavor du jour. From there you pull down on the handle to load your cup before moving on to the Toppings & Sloppings bar where you pile on the fresh fruit, crushed nuts and candy bar toppings, and on and on.
Finally you approach the cashier with a satisfied grin on your face, and plop your treasured dessert up on the scale. You pay according to weight — 49 cents per ounce. Grab a handful of napkins and a spoon, and then you can either sit inside, or outside at one of their tables.
For tonight’s culinary sensation I opted to blend Salted Caramel with Deep Dark Double Chocolate yogurts. Both were listed as low-​fat, low-​calorie, healthy probiotic cultures, and gluten-​free. I didn’t believe it for a moment, but at least it sounded good. I added a couple of spoonfuls of fresh strawberries, pineapple, and some crushed peanuts to enhance the experience.
Oh yes, this was a magical moment!

I usually get the same thing every time, but their new holiday selections are divine.
The gingerbread and the peppermint stick yogurts were so good! I’m usually not a fan of limited flavors, but these hit the mark. In addition, the yogurt consistency seemed to be smoother!
I’m here usually weekly and love sitting outside. Their shop is always clean, and don’t forget to join their rewards program!
