Yapple Yogurt

Very disappointed. My husband and I went in on a Sunday evening. There was a group of kids, about 10, there as well. The fact that they were noisy was not the issue. The major issue was that they were behind the counter by the toppings at least 6 of them on cell phones that they were charging. I consider that unsanitary. I assume only employees should be behind there. They were also constantly taking samples and laying over the toppings. I mentioned this to the employee who was not present during most of this. She did tell them to move at that point. But for me it was a lousy experience and I would not trust the cleanliness.

Needed a yogurt fix around 9:30 PM, but sadly knew that many, if not all, frozen yogurt places close at the «late» hour of 9 during the week. But much to my surprise, Yapple came to the rescue, boasting an extra hour-​they were open until 10, oh wowza.
Empty (maybe it was because we were going to get fro yo on a freezing cold winter night) and clean. Loved the various flavors, only problem was the cup wasn’t big enough. Worker was nice, no small talk, but I don’t blame them, I wouldn’t be very chatty if I worked at a frozen yogurt place until 10 PM on a negative degree winter’s night.
BUT ANYWAY the frozen yogurt was defintely worth my fingers turning into icicles. Flavors were true to their names (mint chocolate chip was BANGING) and although more «icier» then most places, it still had the creamy texture that fro yo addicts like myself enjoy.
I’d defintely revisit-​still bitter I couldn’t get every flavor, so I pretty much have to. But I also want to.
I JUST WISH IT WAS CHEAPER.

Used to be my favorite, but the last two visits the yogurt has been icy and not creamy. I threw almost the whole thing out both times. The owner told me once himself that icy yogurt is an indicator of cleanliness of the machines. Such a bummer.

I had been craving yogurt for days before finding a place. I came at 12 with a note saying they’d be opening at 1. Mildly annoying but whatever.
I came in and got a greeting and then the friend of a coworker came in and they proceeded to talk loudly while I tried to find a sample cup.
No fruits were out.
Yogurt was bland.

Perfect spot if you have little ones. My 3 year old loved the decorations as soon as we walked in «mommy jelly beans» she was referring to the colorful changing light fixtures above. The furniture is cute and the place was clean. The lady over the counter was helpful and attentive.
I love that they charge by weight (the frozen yogurt that is) because my kid doesn’t eat a lot. *Vanilla Custard was out of this world delicious! We will be returning probably with playdates!

Ehhh. I would have hoped it to be better taken care of — floor sticky and topping bar messy, drip trays full! Twelve not so great flavors all of which leave a horrible after taste. not sure if it’s from artificial flavors or yogurt.

My favorite craving. Absolutely addicted. Vanilla and salted pretzel are my favorites. I can eat Yapple all day everyday.

Good flavors and the décor kept my 3 year old niece happy. She loved the changing lights on the ceiling and the characters on the wall.

What’s not to like about Yapple Yogurt? This place is great. Plenty of Flavor options. Lots of toppings. Cool ambiance.
Sidenote: I love the little fruit flavored juice balls they have — so good on top of original tart yogurt.
Only thing they could improve on is having more seating options available on busy nights, especially outside.

Great selection and ambience

I love Yapple! My husband and I take all of our friends and family there when they visit town. They have a great selection of yogurt flavors that changes regularly. They also have a nice variety of toppings. Much better than the other options in town.

A lot cheaper than the other froyo places in Westfield AND they give student discounts (my order came out to $ 2.99 and I didn’t wimp out on the toppings). But… the quality is not as good as, say, Bohemian Raspberry on South Street. Yapple has around 10 basic flavors and an average sized toppings bar. The inside is bright and sterile – kind of looks like decorations for a preschool class. But it’s right off that popular Westfield strip so it’s got a nice window spot. In the end, I’d come back if I was on a tight budget, but definitely wouldn’t enjoy it as much as a better quality froyo joint.

Cute, local yogurt shop. I’m kind of on the fence on what I should rate this place: 3 stars for the average, hardly ever changing flavors (salted caramel is good though); plus one for the convenient downtown Westfield location. Minus one star for all the LOUD kids and uncomfortable seating. (It’s best to get the yogurt to go.) However, they provide self serve (free) ice water, which is a nice touch… not quite 4 stars though.

We’ve been here a few times since it’s hard to beat the location, only a few steps from Trader Joe’s and downtown Westfield. The place is always clean and the toppings are fresh. They have a nice variety of toppings — everything from fresh fruit to syrups (marshmallow, peanut butter, caramel, etc.), mochi, cookie dough, etc. They have about 10 frozen yogurt flavors and some are better than others. I wish the tart was tarter (it doesn’t quite compare to Red Mango or Pinkberry), but the Salted Caramel Pretzel is good, and the Cinnabon my husband got actually had flecks of cinnamon in it.
Yes, you have to pay attention to how much you’re putting in the cup as they do charge by weight. The cups are huge and I’m sure you could easily pass $ 10 without really trying. But as long as you use some common sense you can get out of there for about the same price as a regular ice cream shop, and at least you know that you (probably) made a healthier choice.

The yogurt is tasty and seems on the higher quality side for this type of self-​serve yogurt place. The toppings bar has a lot of variety, some pretty delicious fresh fruit and seems to have a dedicated attendant watching it and keeping it clean.
Points off for ambience. This place is relatively new — I don’t think its been open a year and is starting to show it’s age. The neato color-​changing LED lights are half burned out and the white plastic chairs are getting gray already. I am going to second the opinions of the reviewers before me that the music is unbearable — especially because a high percentage of the clientele are families with small kids — so the music is blaring and the parents are yelling — «THATS ENOUGH GUMMY BEARS» … «WHAT?» … «I SAID THATS ENOUGH GUMMY BEARS!» I am not exxagerating when I say you have to yell to hear the person standing right next to you.
Prices are reasonable, we paid $ 10 and change for three small/​medium servings of yogurt with toppings.

Much better selection of flavors that Swirl Whirl down the street — and reasonably priced for what you get. Was always a fan of Red Mango living in NYC, so this is a close second.

Great yogurt and great flavors (Salted Caramel Pretzel). The décor is fun but needs improvement (better use of space/​seating/​customer flow). It’s WAY too loud in there with a seizure-​inducing music selection. High ceilings and bare walls don’t help.
Advice to the owner:
Two people on the floor at all times. Make the far register Register One so people aren’t bottle-​necked at the toppings with their yogurt melting before they can pay. If there are five or more people in line, open the second register and get a third person on the floor. When one employee just stands there while another is at one register and a third is hiding in the back as the line snakes back to the machines, it’s really frustrating and chaotic.
There are at least three other places to get frozen desserts in the neighborhood. You have the most space, the best quality yogurt, the most potential for a fun atmosphere. The lighting is the best feature. Improve the environmental experience and you’ve nailed it.

If there are any They Might Be Giants fans reading this: Yapple Yogurt reminded me of their song «Man, It’s So Loud In Here». Not that it was too loud, or that the staff was hard to identify or communicate with. Just that Yapple Yogurt is a frozen yogurt place that’s been dressed up like a nightclub. To include everyone else:
I don’t want to immediately talk about the décor over the food, because the food was pretty tasty. It’s a self-​serve place, so they have several yogurt machines in the back with various flavors, ranging from common ones to rather creative options. Then there’s a buffet-​style toppings counter, complete with sneeze guard. It was perfectly clean on my visit, which is always a concern with that style place. The toppings were pretty solid, and not very healthy. They included cookie dough, which was rather convincingly awesome. At the end you weigh your dessert to determine price. They only offer one giant sized cup to fill, and my half-​full cup was a bit more than two bucks.
To get back into the décor now: This place is a cross between a nursery school and a nightclub. In fact, I’ve been to raves that had more children’s imagery. It has a slick plasti-​white façade that’s begging to be mangled by children and time. The ceiling is covered with tiny plastic orb lamps that collectively change colors in waves. Diva-​house hums at an appropriately loud volume. On the flip-​side, the walls are painted with sparse pictures of colorful anthropomorphic animals, and the single wide-​screen TV was set to PBS Kids on mute.
When I went to visit, there were two pairs of attractive young women, a lone mom with four toddlers, and an obese man eating alone. I believe I saw an accurate representation of the clientele.
I’m definitely going back here. The yogurt was good and affordable, and the décor was hilarious.
