Yogi Castle

Flavors and toppings always stocked and their staff is always very cheerful and friendly. My go to froyo place in the neighborhood.

I had the taro-​plain yogurt twist. I I thought the taro was nicely flavored, creamy, and not too sweet. I was expecting the plain yogurt to be on the tart side to counterbalance the creamy flavor of the taro, but I was on the creamy side as well. The yougurt dispenser dispensed the yogurt at a quick speed so I got more yogurt than needed of that particular kind so I couldn’t try other flavors. I had the mochi topping, which I thought was nice and chewy.
Overall, I think this place is a nice spot to get something sweet. The shop is very clean and well-​kept to include the topping bar.

I eat hear all the time. I stop here for a quick snack and for a nice desert. The cake batter ice cream is my favorite. The staff are kind and don’t ask any questions which helps me get in and out so I can be on my way. The candy needs to be replaced monthly the skittles are hard and nasty but other than that this place is good. The place look very clean.
My favorite: cake batter w/​Swedish fish

My first time at Yogi Castle and I am officially sold! After dinner last night, my boyfriend and I decided to grab some fro yo and walk around Pentagon City a bit before heading back home and did this perfectly hit the spot. Located in Pentagon Row Square, inbetween several other restaurants, they are a typical price per ounce outfit, but I was really impressed by the variety of favors offered and variety of toppings too. In addition to tart, chocolate, and vanilla, they had cake batter, cookies and cream, green tea, and strawberry too. As for toppings, lots of fruit, two different kinds of brownies, cookie dough bites, chocolate caramels, and cereals ranging from cinnamon toast crunch to fruity pebbles. Open until 10 pm during the week, and later on weekends, I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here!

Taro yogurt? YUM! Smells like popcorn. Delish. Other flavors are good too, and the fro yo selection is diverse without being overwhelming.
My only beef is a staff training issue — was there one night right before closing, and the two employees made if clear that they were closing in a few minutes — they were not outright rude or unfriendly, but gave the impression of being imposed upon and turned off the music and started cleaning while customers were still in the store. There are nicer ways to tell people it’s closing time; they can always lock the door and just serve the last few people without shoving them out.

Wasn’t really my favorite froyo… not a great selection of flavors and the toppings didn’t taste up to par. didn’t hate it, it just wasn’t ideal for me.
It is located in a great spot though, so you can grab a cup and enjoy it outside with friends. Hopefully great company can make up for whatever this place may lack!

Nope. The tart was ok in flavor, but chalky and not smooth; more like a sorbet texture if that makes sense. The strawberry was so FAKE tasting, more like strawberry flavor than strawberry. On top of being underwhelmed by the yogurt, I barely put anything in my cup, literally it was maybe ¼ full — just a swirl of tart, a swirl of strawberry and three pineapple chunks, it cost me $ 3.25. I won’t be back.

One of the best fro yo I’ve ever tasted, and my kids loved it! And I can’t believe this stuff is actually good for you. They have more toppings than most other fro yo places, and lots of toppings I haven’t seen at other places.
I really like the location of the place also. It’s in Pentagon Row where there are lots of lounge chairs for me and my wife to sit and watch our kids play and run around while we enjoy the fro yo.

The yogurt is passable, but the texture isn’t very creamy and is instead a little more icy and crystalized. I’m not sure if this is a function of it being frozen at the wrong temperature or something with the ingredients, but I was disappointed with the overall texture of the Euro Tart flavor in particular (and I’ve tried other flavors — Cake Batter, Vanilla, and Chocolate, and they’re all the same).
Even though I live nearby, this place just doesn’t do it for me, and I’ll save up my fro-​yo appetite for a visit to Pinkberry or another place with creamier yogurt!

Yogi’s is cute. It is right in the area of Pentagon Row where the ice rink is located. It isn’t a huge place, and it is pretty cold in there! It is a huge glass enclosed establishment. I am sure it feels a lot more pleasant during the warmer months.
As for the froyo, it was good. Nothing overly special, but I liked their selection of froyo and toppings they had to offer. The owner is so cute too. He was behind the counter blowing up balloons when I visited. He and I were the only ones in there. He tried to grip me in on buying a promotion he had going on, but I don’t frequent the area enough to get into it.
It’s nice, and a nice additive to the Pentagon Row restaurant family.

Excellent fro yo and a great topping selection combined with wonderful customer service! My friend and I stopped by Yogi Castle for their $ 1 customer appreciation fro yo special that was offered earlier today. We weren’t exactly sure what the promo entailed, but we were warmly greeted and offered samples of the various flavors we wanted to try. We were able to get a bowl of fro yo, complete with toppings, including some recommended by the owner that we try, such as the fresh-​baked mini chocolate chip cookies and it was so yummy and all for $ 1. While I certainly hope they have another customer appreciation day again soon, it’s definitely worth paying more than $ 1 to try Yogi Castle.
I tried the weekly special flavor, Salted Caramel Popcorn, as well as the new Tiramisu gelato. Both were very flavorful and ended up being the flavors I got in my bowl.
As I stated in my earlier reviews, Yogi Castle is always extremely clean. While some other local fro yo chains have messy toppings areas where other toppings are mixed into others because people drop things and the area is just unkept, that is NOT the case with Yogi Castle. Employees are always very diligent in making sure the topping area is clean.
The employees are also very friendly and have always greeted me when I walked in the door and are willing to let you sample the various flavors.
During the winter months they will be offering complimentary hot chocolate with a fro yo purchase. While I’m a firm believer that fro yo can be eaten year-​round, complimentary hot chocolate with fro yo is an even better reason to go visit Yogi Castle during the winter months.
Note that Yogi Castle is not the same fro yo place that used to be open across the way in Pentagon Row. This is a different place, with much fresher fro yo and toppings, so make sure to stop into Yogi Castle because you won’t be disappointed!

Yogi Castle is located by Champps in the cute courtyard area of Pentagon Row which houses the ice skating rink in the winter time.
I always get the chocolate flavor as a barometer to judge each frozen yogurt spot and Yogi Castle is doing it right! I also tried a bit of the Salted Caramel Popcorn which was surprisingly so good… some of my friends disagreed. We were split between which flavor we tasted more: the caramel or the corn… you be the judge! They definitely had wayy more toppings than yogurt flavors so I wouldn’t mind a few more varieties of handles to choose from.
So I won’t name any names but Yogi Castle is still not as good and high quality as say, «Binkperry» but it’s still a good, convenient dessert option in the area – especially if you want to control your portions after eating dinner at one of the restaurants nearby.

The customer service we received was awesome! I was surprised to read otherwise when I came to write my review, but maybe it’s because he was the owner of the store? We had the pumpkin yogurt and it was AWESOME! The best pumpkin yogurt I have ever tasted – good pumpkin flavor and taste! Most pumpkin yogurts/​ice creams just taste faintly of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice, this one was exploding with flavor. Consistency was really good too for a fro-​yo, thick and creamy. Good yogurt AND good customer service? We’ll be back! They also have a 10% military discount. Bonus!

Went there with kids and my girls loved it.
Big selections on toppings and fresh fruit toppings!
Very clean and friendly staff.
Will go back again if we are in the area again.

Worst customer service! I went to the location and it was empty… no one at the counter. I had to call someone to help me. After a few minutes, someone came out rudely.
I asked to try one of the yogurts and he gruffly acted like it wasn’t his job! The yogurt was melted and soft! Yuck! I ended up choosing another one. At the counter, no welcome, thank you… nothing! I can look past product (too sweet and syrupy) but poor customer service… I’ll never spend money there again!

Maybe I need to give this place another try, but I had a craving for froyo and checked it out, and I was unimpressed with the froyo flavor options. I guess the idea behind this place was focused on the toppings, and less so on the flavor options. Or maybe it was a bad time for flavor options, but my froyo was less than satisfying. As the rating expresses, I’ve had better.

My favorite fro yo place of all time. I know that’s a bold statement, since I’ve been eating fro yo consistently since 2008, but the fresh yogurt and toppings at Yogi Castle totally warrant that statement.
Yogi Castle is located in a little glass box in Pentagon Row Square in Pentagon City. It’s near tons of other restaurants and the mall, so it’s a perfect place to go for dessert. They unfortunately don’t have much seating inside the tiny glass box, but there’s plenty of seating on couches and lounge chairs next to the fountain outside.
The toppings are always fresh and plentiful, whether you want fruit or cookie toppings. My personal favorites are the coconut shavings, the mochi, and the boba toppings. Always so crisp. And so perfect for a hot summery day!
