Twisted Yogurt

One of my favourite treats is going out for frozen yogurt. While we usually go to a competitor, this shop was right next door! I decided to try it out!
The selection of froyo was pretty good, but as good as my usual shop. No unique flavours, but still had no problem finding something I’d enjoy. The topping selection on the other hand! Most of them stale candy but lots to choose from! There were TONNES of toppings to choose from, sadly none of them were labeled! Yes, I know the difference between a cookie and a piece of fruit! But those little bobas!!! Man I love the little bobas! Lol…
The service was sub par :-(no «hello» or «have you been here before?». Seeing as the prices were not posted, it would have been nice to be greeted.
Luckily it wasn’t a terrible experience and we will more than likely be back!

If you love this place you should do yourself a favor and try ANY OTHER YOGURT PLACE. The yogurt tastes sour, the toppings are semi rotten, the service is terrible, the selection sucks. Edmonton has some amazing yogurt places, this one does not even come close.

As a fro-​yo fan, I wanted to try this place for a long time. Finally, I stopped in here for dessert. The selection of yogurt flavours was decent, and I combined plain with chocolate and raspberry. The chocolate was not all that rich, but the other two flavours were good. I think the selection of toppings is the biggest of all of the different fro-​yo places I have tried. They even line the wall. Most of the cereals are in hanging containers that you have to release with a lever, and the stuff comes out FAST! I would prefer everything just be in bins to scoop out, because I ended up with far more Lucky Charms than I intended. The fruit looked fresh, and there was lots of candies and nuts. I only wish everything was labelled. Price-​wise Twisted Yogurt is comparable with other fro-​yo chains, and I wish it was not so out of my way to visit more often.

I am a huge frozen yogurt fan Tutti Fruiti I go about every week, so me and my bf decided to try this place out. The layout was definitely not as good as others it looked unprofessional and not as clean. We both got our favorites and they had about all the same toppings we get, but when I tried mine it was just gross even the strawberries tasted bad, my bf couldn’t even eat his it tasted sour like it had gone bad. Not sure if we got a bad batch or what but not going back it’s easier to head to my favorite place nice and clean and really good froyo.

I love yogurt soft serve but only if the flavours taste real. This product definitely lacks any kind of quality taste and the texture is not creamy. Tastes artificial. I’ve had so much better. The price is the same as the competitors and it’s aweful. Service was not friendly.

Just seems to fake to me. I went in on a Saturday and the two working there should not of been working behind the till. Both girls were talking about how «wicked» wasted they got last night and one even said she needed her one night stand to drop her off at work. As she was telling her story I look over at them and she was laying on the floor. I drive by here alot and see very little foot traffic. Maybe thats why all your fruits are ripe now and kind of rotting. it smelt like a wine house in there. After having a few spoon fulls I decided I couldn’t stomach this anymore and chucked it. Just waiting for this place to shut down and another failing business to take its place. I never see a business succeed in this location which is weird because its on Cgy. Tr.
ME THINKS NOT

I wanted to try this place for awhile now after always driving by it on the highway.
My Fiancé and I had high expectations for this place because the week before we had some Tutti Frutti.
It pretty much was the same concept as Tutti Fruitti. The flavours were Cherry, Apricot Mango, Plain, Raspberry, Root Beer, Honey Almond. I had a difficult time choosing because none of the flavours really jumped out at me.
I eventually went with the plain, honey almond and cherry. I LOVED the cherry but the honey almond and the plain flavour were somewhat disappointing. Both were way too tart for my liking.
Would I go back again? Maybe to see if they switch out with better flavours.
Just okay.

This concept (and place) has been around for a while and is just starting to get noticed and word-​of-​mouth. Simple really, you walk in — grab a paper dish in the back and select your yogurt, followed by any toppings you want. The yogurt flavor changes from time to time but in the 3 times I was here last week, the flavors didn’t change at all; and the toppings even less so. It is a really great place to bring younger kids as they get to pick and choose their yogurt flavors and toppings. Be careful of the amount of yogurt and toppings though since it is paid by the weight, and it adds up (or weighs up lol) rather quickly. Even @ 54 cents per oz, mine typically come out to around $ 6 — $ 7 dollars for a medium cup/​dish full. That puts it in the price range of Cold Slab/​Marble Slab or what-​have-​you. Btw, my favorite topping is those strawberry and mango bubbles… try them, they’re kinda fun.
Nonetheless, good fun place and you can try a little of each of the yogurts before you commit — that’s not something they teach you, you just have to know that you can lol.

Awesome treat. The staff were very outgoing, friendly and helpful.

Awesome frozen yogurt! Very fresh fruit toppings and reasonable price.

Popped in with my Mom and toddler and was pleasantly surprised at the variety of fruits as well as toppings galore! I love it when I get to decorate my own treat! The costs add up quickly here — think lightweight! Liquid items and heavy items will make your total rack up quickly but fluffy items like coconut flakes are practically free!
I did find it odd that amongst their array of flavours there was no vanilla on our particular visit day. Loved that they had flavours like blackberry and pistachio, though! And am I weird, but I love soft serve frozen yogurt more than most run of the mill ice cream shops! So creamy and goes so well with fruit!
I had a B1G1 up to $ 8 value in my SUTP coupon book — Hip hip hooray!
And i read that one is coming to St. Albert, soon! Double hooray!
Can’t wait to go back!
2 Thumbs Up!
I uploaded a few pics :-)

Worst frozen yogurt I’ve ever had.

Twisted is a great serve-​yourself fro-​yo experience. Perhaps not for the rookie — you might have to ask for yourself to know how the machines work, hopefully the ladies that the counter will show ya though — they’re pretty good, for the most part.
For those of you that don’t know, pull the middle lever down on the machine, and it will twist the two flavors together — READ THE FLAVORS FIRST — just in case you don’t like that combo!
The only down fall, that most CDN/​YEG fro-​yo places don’t do, or don’t do well enough, is provide sampling cups. This includes Twisted, as well as it’s YEG competitors. Or perhaps, it’s just this Calgary Trail outlet, I’m not sure…
Of the self-​serve fro-​yo stands in YEG though, it’s the best. The yogurt is creamy and delicious, and whether artificially flavoured or not, the flavors are spot on. The flavors taste to my little taste buds as if eating ‘the real thing’ — if that makes any sense. i.e. I personally find, pistachio tastes like pistachio, pom tastes like pom, banana tastes like banana, choc like choc, etc… Everyone’s different. The variety of toppings is terrific as well — cereals, chocolates, gorgeous fruit, and of course, CANDY!
Great place to bring the kiddos, or parents, or for rounding out date night. It’s all good.
Best advice — get out there and find out what you like best for you. We can rant and rave all we want — but it’s ultimately up to you, the reader. :)

First time i have been this shop should be last year. everytjhing is new for me cos i never try to do it for myself, but staff was vy friendly to teach me :)
that moment i only been there once a while cos weather cold.
In this summer, i almost every week go there one times, there yogurt havent mess up my on diet schedule…(u know when i starting my diet somtime still want some sweet thing) i guess there almost 2 week change flav one times. but i never skip plain flav… so gd n nice even my husband he love here yogurt too :)
((There is allow u use a spoon to take abit to taste)) so u wont take some taste u dont like, right.

I want to like this place, I really do. For me the location is convenient. Perhaps not the first place you’d think of going for frozen yogurt. But by not being in super popular area (like South Common) it’s not crazy busy. At least it’s never been busy when I’ve been there.
I love the idea of a frozen yogurt place where you can add toppings like a sundae bar. It’s self serve here. You take a cup, pick a yogurt flavor and put in as much or as little as you want. Then you can add toppings, and there’s a good variety here; candy, nuts, fruit, etc. The price is determined by weight. The staff seem nice enough. The décor is a little funky (in a coporate business way), and there are few tables and chairs inside, and a small patio section outside. Everything looked clean, and well organized.
But my problem here is the frozen yogurt itself. I noticed another reviewer mentioned it tasted watery. The first time I went I tried pomegranate. I wasn’t able to finish it because it had such a weird aftertaste. The next time I went back and got pistachio. It was better but still not great. I could finish eating it because it was barely passable, as far as taste goes. When it comes to food I don’t want to eat «barely passable.»
Like I said I really want to like this place. Everything else about is great, but when it comes to food taste is a big factor, and Yogurt Twist just doesn’t make it. I might come back and try again one day, maybe I’ll find a flavor that I like. But I’m certainly not rushing back to go here again.

Stopped at the Calgary Trail location today. Had noticed it before when shopping in area and a hot day like today was perfect to try it. I am def a Fro Yo fan and was looking forward to it. Neat place, cashier was not too helpful but they had signage to help ya out. Should of read the reviews here about sampling before going and the center twist. Anyhow… the toppings were good. I liked that the fruit was very fresh, the blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc… NICE. The problem… the FRO YO was nasty. I found it very watery and not pleasing to the ol palate. The zero fat at yogunfruz is way better. I also make zero fat at home in my machine and this at twisted creations was just not good. I put a dab of the pistachio in my cup but when the neon green came out of the tube i knew it would have the fake flavour and it did. Totally gross! So stuck with the plain and used fresh fruit, coconut, bit of nuts as topping. Ending up eating the toppings and tossing the rest. Wasn’t worth finishing. Def will take my 6.50 $ elsewhere next time.
Too bad. :(

It was in San Diego that I first discovered the make-​your-​own frozen yogurt. I just knew this had to come to Edmonton, and that it was going to rock everybody’s socks. And so far, success!
Walking into the small establishment, tucked into a business strip on Calgary Trail, you’ll see a small amount of seating on the right. If you want a seat, and see one free — I suggest snagging it quickly. Seating is at a minimum.
At the back of the restaurant you’ll find two sizes of cups as well as lids. The concept is similar to Mongolie Grill — you fill your cup with as many different frozen yogurts as you’d like, then top it off with cereal, nuts, gummies, candy, fresh fruit, or sauce, and then pay by weight.
Sure, you’ll look at the eight flavours of frozen yogurt and probably wonder — how blueberry is the blueberry? How many purple cows are in that machine? And do the snozzberries really taste like snozzberries? (Note: there isn’t a snozzberries flavour — yet!) Well, don’t be shy! Go and ask the staff behind the counter if you could have a spoon so that you could sample a flavour. They’ll give you a spoon and advise you to put just a dab of the flavour you’d like to try on one of the lids. Then, you can sample and decide on your combination. (I sampled the green tea frozen yogurt — but wasn’t impressed, so I left it out of my creation.)
When you’re ready, take your bowl up to the frozen yogurt machine. It operates similar to a slurpee machine, but there is a twist — if you pull the left handle, you get the left flavour. The right handle, the right flavour… but the middle flavour combines the two! So if you want a strawberry/​vanilla swirl, pull that middle lever to your hearts content!*
*Be content when your cup is full.
Next up — add your toppings. There are a lot to choose from, so make your choice wisely.
After paying, you’re good to go! Sit inside, take a load off on the patio, or grab a lid and continue on your adventures. Just one word of advice: it does get melty, so don’t travel far. Frozen Yogurt is best if consumed immediately!

Finally, USA-​style froyo right in my own backyard! I love frozen yogurt more than ice cream. More than gelato, more than anything. And while the mix-​y style is cool, it’s awesome to have the Pinkberry style now in yeg.
I scored a cup of low-​fat chocolate froyo and added chocolate chips and strawberries on top. There were about a half dozen great and different flavours on the wall (but what on earth is Purple Cow?) and lots of yummy toppings, from fruit to cookies to candy.
It’s a pretty simply set-​up in TY with a few tables inside and a few more out on the patio. (Yeah! Patio season is upon us!) The cashier was nice and friendly and that was that. (The cost is based up on weight of your finished dish.) Easy, yummy, great!

When I had my wisdom tooth yanked, ice cream was my food of choice. To try to minimize my fat content, I visited the Twisted Yogurt in Sherwood Park many times.
There is a bank of soft serve machines, each with a different flavour. You select a (comically large) cup and pour your own flavour combinations. Then you visit the topping bar — they have everything from fresh fruit to chocolate and gummy bears (my personal favourite is Cap’n Crunch) — and load up. When you get the the cashier, they weigh your cup and you pay per gram.
My biggest complaint is they don’t rotate the flavours very often. So if you visit often, you end up with the same choices over and over again.
Another complaint is that the service ranges extremely bored to outright surly — thankfully you only have to deal with it while paying.
Overall, I think this is a good alternative to high fat/​calorie ice cream.
