FroZenYo

How I heard of this place: Smoothie King went out of business not long after our move to the Ballston neighborhood. Only months later, Frozenyo opened its doors. Coupons galore and this was my first visit.
Type of cuisine: All natural yogurt, in a dozen flavors with active live cultures and a plethora of toppings!
Ambiance: «FroZenYo was founded in Washington DC to bring something new to the cookie-​cutter frozen yogurt category. With a taste for innovation and high standards for quality and service FroZenYo has exploded in the region, opening nine stores in two years. We understand the yogurt business, operating a huge number of corporate locations. This means we are on the front lines with our franchisees, and spend every day working on ways of innovating and improving our business. The FroZenYo team brings together a wealth of business, management, and marketing experience, and a passion for our brand that means we won’t settle for anything less than the best. We are looking for franchisees who match our energy and excitement to help us spread across the country and beyond.»
Pastel brightness heightens the look and flavor of yogurt oozing its way out of the eight stainless steel compartments of yogurt. Verdant green approaches lavender colored walls, set against creamy, high ceilings. Green-​backed booths against blue seat-​cushions and silver-​metal tables, matching seating also available for patrons dining in.
What I ordered: I sampled nearly every one of the 16 flavors, including: Pistachio, Cake Batter, Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies & Cream, Banana Cream, Peanut Butter, Mango, Cheesecake, and Peaches & Cream. I decided upon Cake Batter, a dollop of Peaches & Cream the following toppings: fresh kiwi, raspberries, chocolate chips, Butterfinger and Heath bar crumbles.
What I loved: The tartness of the frozen yogurt, and one-​size-​fits-​all approach: one container, filled as you please!
Why I loved it: Simple concept, whimsical décor, easy and fun to make your own fro-​yo sundae.
Cost: Cost measured and varies by weight.

Lots of positives:
— Excellent variety of yogurt and toppings, and always well supplied
— Flavors are delicious (I’ve tried at least five)
— Allergens are clearly posted
— Staff is attentive and friendly
— Price seems better than a number of other frozen yogurt places

This was our go-​to place for about a year. Now whenever I go, I get sick. I don’t think we will be back unless we hear about some froyo quality improvements.

This place is great. Lots of flavor options for the frozen yogurt however I preferred the traditional tart one. They also have a nice selection of toppings. You can either go the healthy route with fruit or be decadent with candy and sweet sauce toppings. You pay by weight which I like since at some places you pay per topping and it can get pricey quick or also just get a tiny snack.

If you’re in Ballston, go to this FrozenYo! The manager that works there, Kevin, makes sure that your experience will be fantastic everytime. I find this to be the best of all FrozenYo locations due to the size, the ammenities and the people that work there. You will NOT be disappointed! 5STAR across the board, well done!
PS The location is a little deceiving, its off of Wilson Blvd.

Out of the various froyo places I’ve tried, this might have been my least satisfying experience.
The machines were behaving strangely when I went, so not once, but twice when I tried to dispense the yogurt, it splattered and sprayed all over me and my shoes — not pleasant. This may be a sign of poor maintenance.
Additionally, multiple times I’ve gone here I’ve had to wait a long time for a cashier since there is usually only one and if they are gone off somewhere, no one is there to help you.
The one thing it has going for it is that it’s cheap…

I’m surprised to see so many positive reviews of this store. I’ve gluttonously eaten in many different froyo stores/​chains in this past, and I can safely say that this one is by far the worst. I’ve gone here twice with three different people, and we all felt like the flavor of the frozen yogurt was just… lacking. I’d even say that many/​most of the flavors were downright bad. Also, many of the flavors had a weird, solid, log-​like consistency. Very unappetizing. I don’t know whether it’s the fault of the machines or the recipe proportions they’re using. This store’s only asset is it’s large assortment of toppings, which they keep well-​stocked.
So, if you absolutely must get a froyo fix, go ahead and eat here. But definitely sample the flavors before pouring yourself a cup; chances are, you won’t really like the first few that you try. FroZenYo is lucky that there isn’t any froyo competition around the Ballston area.

FroZenYo is next door to my office, and this is an issue, because I love cold, creamy treats. Their frozen yogurt is creamy, inexpensive, and flavorful. I love the toffee flavor, which is seasonal. If that’s not in, I’ll usually get the cookie and cream flavor. There are plenty of toppings to choose from and you can add sauce after you pay. Plus, they offer a loyalty card. Staff (or owners) have been extremely friendly.

The froyo was a little bit richer and creamier than I’m used to. But if you want something closer to ice cream then u will prob like this place. I saw some small flies around the toppings too. Hope they monitor this a little more carefully.

Delicious frozen yogurt, tons of awesome flavors and swirls! Super yummy toppings. Toppings include kit kat, pound cake, waffle cone, full size Andes that the staff lovingly unwraps individually ;), lots of fresh fruit, heath bars, walnuts, pecans, granola, gummi bears and more. The owner is super hot and since I’m married with child, I realllly hope he dates my friend.

FroZenYo is awesome. It is cheap. If you fill your cup up completely and it is more than $ 8, ask them to re-​zero the scale, because it is wrong. There are some reviews saying that they got watery frozen yogurt: you got the first of the batch, so just dump it out.
Tons of flavors, tons of topping (more than anywhere else by a long stretch), and tons of deliciousness.

I would visit here again; and it’s a chain which makes things more convenient. Free hot fudge or caramel!!!

With the million of Froyo spots opening in Arlington, I thought I’d check this one out b/​c it was biking distance from my house. Flavor was just ok, but it was pricey. I felt for the amount I got, it was $ 6, would’ve been $ 3 at sweet frog. The peanut butter pump went nuts on me too, it literally exploded in front of me and got on my clothes, the guy working there didn’t fix it, he said to just try it again to which it exploded a second time. Luckily I was wearing athletic/​biker clothes so I didn’t care, but I can just imagine the typical preppy Arlingtonian type person pulling down on that lever, and PB Froyo exploding on their clothes, that won’t go so well…

Frozen yo is by far the best fro-​yo in the city. They have a variety of flavors and toppings and its serve yourself so you can craft just the combo that suits your mood of the moment.

Great froyo place in town! This place never disappoints!
I love their amazing frozen yogurt flavors and endless variety of toppings. And, yes, their toppings are always fresh especially the fruit.
The staff is also very attentive and keeps this place clean as a whistle.
I give this place 5 stars with absolutely no hesitation!

Yuck. I went in hoping for something like Pinkberry, but I was let down. The yogurt is watery and really milky. I like a lighter yogurt similar to Pinkberry’s. It is very expensive and you are likely to make a mess of yourself and the place — it is self serve, and as I said the yogurt comes out like milk at first. Gross

Their pumpkin spice fat free for yo is the bomb! The flavors I’ve had we’re all awesome, the mango, the coffee, the chocolate, but the pumpkin spice was AMAZING!
Self serve, and buy only as much as you want.
Me, I want a gallon tub !

This froyo store is a chain that already has several stores in the DC metro area; however, I was still excited that Ballston finally got its own little froyo place. Walked here on a Friday afternoon and got myself a mix of the tart and pomegranate flavor. When it was time to pick the toppings though, I was kind of disappointed; the toppings section is small, gets crowded easily, and the fruit pieces are redic. huge for how they’re supposed to be. Wonder if it’ll be like this forever.
Still a good place to have in the area!

I love this place! Self-​serve frozen yogurt is exactly what Arlington needs!
There are at least 16 different flavors that include sugar-​free and fat-​free options as well, which is amazing :) The flavors are unique, I’m a huge fan of the coffee flavor that I got — it was delicious… will definitely be coming back specifically for it! I’ve also tried coconut and red velvet. I enjoyed them too, but the coffee was still my favorite. The owner told me that they will be rotating flavors, so it will be really nice to come in next time and try something new.
As for the toppings, there was an awesome variety of candy, fruit, nuts, etc… the fruit was super fresh and the people who work there were constantly making sure the toppings were replenished. I totally recommend trying Frozenyo, the staff is friendly and it’s a great place to relax and sit outside (while listening to music on the patio)!

Just opened a couple days ago, literally a couple of feet from the apartment. Boyfriend and I decided to try it out.
This is a different concept than Pinkberry in that there are a bunch of machines on the wall and you get to self-​serve your own dessert. That was kind of cool! I piled mint chip flavor (ok, but almost any mint chip ice cream blows it out of the water), butter pecan (quite tasty!) and dulce de leche (fantastic!) into mine. And then they have self-​serve toppings too. Most are standard toppings but I was pleased to see kiwi slices, fresh raspberries, and walnuts in a maple syrup sauce. The walnuts were amazing! Meanwhile, boyfriend’s choices were terrible. He got the «tart» which tasted like funky sour cream and the red velvet which I wasn’t a fan of.
The dulce de leche really stood out as the best in my opinion. It approaches the salted caramel from pinkberry in its deliciousness though the salted caramel still wins out.
My inclination would be to give it 4 stars if it weren’t for the price. It was incredibly expensive, at $ 17+ and I didn’t even fill my cup that much! This was a downer. Because it is so expensive I am not sure if we will be back too much. Maybe to get a tiny bit of dulce de leche with some of those maple walnuts on it. Yum!
Its nice to have this place here, but I still think Pinkberry is the best!
