Gurts

Heads up yogurt fans! This place is closed! It is now an EXTRA BUTTER COFFEE place instead. So get your java on!

Alright sweet tooth fans, this post is for you!!!
I know what you’re thinking, «Why would you do a post on a frozen yogurt place when it’s bloody cold outside? The answer is easy, there’s always a good time to eat frozen yogurt and Gurts doesn’t just serve frozen yogurt, they also serve grilled sandwiches, soup, teas and freshly baked goods. So whatever season we are in, Gurts is a great place to go.
If you have ever been to the big chain froyo places, then you know how it works. You grab a cup, fill it with frozen yogurt, and choose from an array of toppings. Anything from fruit to all of the chocolate covered candy out there and everything in between. Depending on the season, Gurt’s will have more flavours of yogurt as well. In the warmer months they’ll have up to 11 flavours of yogurt. Since we’re in the colder months, there were 4 different flavours.
Once you’re finished picking the yogurt and piling all of the toppings, you bring the cup to the clerk and you’re charged by the weight of the cup and the ingredients inside. With all of the toppings available it is easy to over indulge and it can get quite costly so keep that in mind when adding your toppings.
If you’re indecisive like me, you can get a sample of each yogurt to help you make your decision a little easier. I decided to go with a simple vanilla yogurt with colourful sprinkles (for the pictures sake) and chocolate chips. Now I am not a yogurt connoisseur but this yogurt tasted a lot better than the typical chain yo-​fro I have been too. The yogurt was a lot creamier, smoother, not nearly as sweet and it didn’t taste fake. This is because the yogurt Gurts uses is a fat free liquid based yogurt and not a powder based. The sprinkles and chocolate chips that I added tasted really fresh and not stale.
Gurts also offers soups, grilled sandwiches, teas, freshly baked cookies and different pastries. I decided to grab this cookie because it speaks volumes on what I am trying to do here. Shop local and Roncesvalles is making it really easy to do just that. If you’re ever in the mood for frozen yogurt, a nice loose leaf tea or a freshly baked goodie, Gurts is a great place to go.

Delicious Frozen Yogurt. You can definitely tell the difference in yogurt between Gurts and a chain like Menchies or Yogurtys.
The have a smaller selection of flavours but the flavours they do have are SO good and taste exactly like they should.

Great summer healthy alternative to ice cream! Yumm. :)

I remember walking past Gurts when they were renovating it, before it was officially open. They had paintings of milk shakes and other treats with faces and arms and feet which made me think of those retro 70’s float shops.
Unfortunately it was not a float shop at all.
Gurts is a frozen Yogurt place. The staff are nice when I have gone in, buts its not really a sit down desert place.
I’ve had the vanilla cupcakes which were disappointing to me as they were dry and the best part was the icing. Lemon Square which was very good but I do love lemon, and a short bread cookie that was a pumpkin. It was also very good although I’m not much of a fan of short bread I did like the icing on this cookie and it was a Halloween design so it was kind of nice.
On one occasion I had the frozen yogurt. They had three different flavors, chocolate, vanilla and key lime. You are allowed to mix them as the frozen yogurt is charged by weight. On top of it they have an assortment of toppings like nuts, fruit, gummies and what not. It can be quiet pricy but the product is good.
Although I’m not completely in love with gurts I would totally go back for the frozen yogurt on a hot summer day.

The perfect froyo shop. The yogurt’s creamy and smooth. They always have the standard flavors plus a few more unusual offerings, like ‘Philadelphia Root Beer’, ‘American Peanut Butter’, or ‘Florida Key Lime Pie.’ I’m not sure why the special flavors all seem to be US-​themed, but I’m not complaining. The topping selection may not be as large as the spreads at some other places but it has all the essentials (strawberries! teddy grams!). There’s also a nice recycled church pew outside the shop for outdoor frozen-​yogurt eating.

If I were a sweets/​froyo fenatic I would give this place 5 stars, but alas I’m not. It is really great to satisfy your froyo needs though! Great flavours, creamy and delish. fun toppings too.
Staff are super friendly, they give you the low-​down if you haven’t a clue what’s going on when you go in (as I didn’t when I went the first time). The flavours are interesting and fun. I like to stop in here when coming back from a long bike ride.
Nice little bench out front to eat your goodies while people watching on Roncey :)

Gurts is definitely the answer if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings! If you’re a fan of the chain Menchies, you’ll love Gurts’ frozen yogurt.
It works the same way as Menchies where you get to choose and mix the types of frozen yogurt you want. (I tried the coconut flavoured one and I was delicious!)
After you get to choose from an array of toppings. If you want to keep it on the healthier side, they have fruits such as pineapple, strawberry, blueberries, etc… But if you really want to self indulge they have chocolate, m&m’s. skor, animal crackers, reeses pieces, etc… Trust me, you’ll be tempted to put everything in!
Finally, the price depends on the weight of the cup with the frozen yogurt and the amount of topping you put in it. Everything is really fresh and great quality. The frozen yogurt is made daily using fresh ingredients and unlike Menchies, doesn’t use powders to make their frozen yogurt. The flavours of frozen yogurt change regularly so you can try new flavours every time.
Aside from that, they also have a bunch of baked goods for sale and the staff is really nice.
So if you ever pass by Ronces, you should definitely stop by and check this place out.

Gurts has these pretty and cute cookies!
I can imagine the kids goes crazy for them… They are huge too… and just too pretty to be eaten!
Huge Cupcakes ($ 3.35) definitely I need to share that with someone… There are also Dates Square, Chocolate Sammie and much much more
All the baked goods are prepared in house using fresh ingredients. I can smell the carbs in the air right when I walked in.
The staff is super nice. even let me sample one of their fat-​free and all natural frozen yogurt. The Honolulu Coconut is so rich in flavour and creamy… you sure that is fat free?!
There are some seating if you want to hang out and have a cup of coffee or hot chocolate or their loose leaf tea…
I like!

Gurts has the best frozen yogurt in the city. They seem to switch the types available on a regular basis which is kind of cool because you can always try something different. They have both fresh fruit and sweet toppings (chocolate, m&m’s, coconut flakes etc). Way better quality than Menchies!
They also have awesome baked goods — tarts, cupcakes, cookies etc. I have gone in there a couple times to buy an assortment for dinner parties. They always go over very well!
If you live in Roncesvalles, this is a great local spot — the guys that own it are really nice too.
