Orange Cup

I will miss Orange Cup. I just found out its closed. Orange Cup offered a really good product. The guy working the place was a bit stand-​offish, but with that said, I still like the guy. I wish him good luck in his future endeavors.

This place was good for yogurt, but I miss the place… =(

Bummer, looks liks this place is closed now. Windows are all blacked out and the phone just rings.

After much though and consideration-​oh and going almost everyday last week-​I am an official fan and addict.
The service is good-​when the owner/​manager is there, he makes conversation and answers all the questions you may have about missing flavors.
I am sad the loyo is gone but the natural is still just as good and I love feeling like I had something sweet but still with healthy benefits.
I will say, portions of toppings have gotten more consistent and there are some really cool people who work there.

It’s all about the Loyo! Low calorie and low sugar frozen yogurt. Yes!!! Fresh fruit toppings. Double Yes!!!
Been there 2 days in a row now. Loyo with pomegranates, mango and blueberries. Omg so good.
I know I love it because despite that my stomach says «no» my mouth and brain cheers a resounding «yes». Not quite sure why that is since I’m only mildly lactose intolerant and orange cup uses live active cultures yogurt.
My husband had the natural which I guess is the regular froyo. and honestly, the loyo tasted better. How often does that happen?!

I’ve been here about 3 – 4 times now and I like it. There’s something to be said about simple flavors and simple toppings. The frozen yogurt is tart, as yogurt that’s frozen should taste like and the relatively healthy topping options don’t leave me regretting my choice. I appreciate that they put the nutrition facts on your individual cup, but I’m skeptical has to how accurate that is. If I’m looking for something light and refreshing, this is where I’ll go. If I’m looking to really indulge, I go to Yogurt Planet in the Phase II section of the Domain.

A bit tad expensive, but good tasting yogurt & decent selection of toppings. Service can be a bit irritating b/​c it takes them a bit of time to get your order out. Cute establishment with plenty of seating.
this definitely hits the spot in the warm austin weather. thing is, I don’t think this place stacks up against all the other froyo places. first of all, the toppings can get quite pricey. other establishments provide the first 2 toppings free.
secondly, orange cup doesn’t give you much yogurt for what you pay. what I do like is the fact that the nutritional info is printed on a sticker, which is quite helpful. kudos, also, to how green this establishment is & also to the efforts in catering to health conscious customers.
thing that really surprised me is the wait for my order. I’ve never had to wait too long for my froyo at other establishments, so I’ve been spoiled. I’ll still be back to visit orange cup especially since I do visit the domain quite a bit, but orange cup has some strides of improvement to make.

Good, refreshing froyo, especially on a hot evening. I ordered the acai flavor with some blueberries to top it off.
Your order also comes with a nutritional info sticker-​label which is printed out and placed on your cup when you pick up your order. The label identifies the amounts of calories and sugars as well as the daily percentage amounts of fat, carbs, protein, fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and calcium.
If you and your group are hanging inside here at one of the tables and don’t like the music they’re playing inside, just hook up your iPod, iPhone, or smartphone to the jack in the wall next to your table to play your music of choice from the speaker hanging above your table.

Very refreshing!

I’ve had my share of yogurt places and I’d have to say this place is phenomenal. Embarrassing to say but I’ve made pit stops at the Domain just to go grab some yogurt from here! :p
Notably, their décor and design of the space is very marketing savvy. IT just makes you want to eat their yogurt! It is not self serve but behind the counter and they have about 4 different flavors of yogurt you can choose from. My favorite is still the original and I top it with their crispy chocolate and it just melts in your mouth. The yogurt here is a lot of creamier and not as crunchy as Pinkberry which I like.
Try it out and see what you think!

Froyo meets The Domain.
Look, we all know The Domain is a fun place to browse, but we also know it’s where overpriced stores decided to gather together to be better protected from a frontal assault of Keep Austin Weird stickers. And they let Borders in because its previous location was way too bizarre.
So this is the perfect froyo for The Domain. It’s overpriced. There aren’t as many options as the more common self-​service places around town. And all four flavors center around a tart core that makes you pucker your lips so you’ll look like you’re trying out for Real Housewives of Austin.
If it’s a hot day and your designer shoes are melting on the pavement between stops at Tiffany and the Sony Style store, this is your best option. But don’t go out of your way if you’re looking for tasty froyo in Austin.

I heart Orange Cup and love the glow with kiwi. I appreciate the nutrition label on the serving as well… it definitely sheds light on one’s intake and i am all about the portion control when possible. The man behind the counter mentioned that customers describe glo as «spa on a spoon» and that is definitely an accurate description. It’s the only flavor I’ve tried there, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about their other flavors.
I have but one gripe about Orange Cup — their a la carte pricing on the toppings can generate one hell of a tab. My friend ordered a medium with ALL the fruit toppings and that turned into a $ 10 cup of fro-yo…WTF? I think at some point, the «all toppings» option should be a fixed price once you approach the double digits. Excellent product, definitely unique and very tasty, but it’s gonna cost ya a lil bit. Just the same… thumbs up and worth it.

I first went in with a couple of my girl friends after having done some shopping around the Domain. This place resembled Pink Berry that I have had in Los Angeles, but much better. The last time I went (past December), Pink Berry had only 3 – 4 flavors (original-​too sour for me, pomegranate-​weird, and chocolate-didn’t have it) and didn’t leave a very good impression of the much hyped frozen yogurt obsession sweeping the nation.
I came in here and the man behind the counter was really helpful; he let my friends and I try all 4 different kinds, and I must say that despite still not liking the sour taste of original, their other 3 flavors: zum, acaiberry, and glo were much better. All three were good, but I ultimately picked zum because there’s orange juice in it. It was a lot better than I imagined, and now it’s my favorite frozen yogurt place in Austin!
Pros: great service, always can find parking (garage if street not available), neat décor, friendly staff, great yogurt with much more original flavors than others I’ve seen
Cons:
–somewhat pricey, and the first time I bought the smallest size, I felt like he didn’t give me very much, but the other times I’ve been, the rest of the staff has given me much more for my money. (Although other places I’ve been cost around the same… maybe I just think frozen yogurt is expensive for what it contains)
–toppings are $ 1 for the first and then $ 0.25 for the 2^nd, and $ 0.25 for the third, and so on. I found this to be a bit ridiculous since they only give you a spoonful as one topping, but I guess this is the only major problem I have with this place.
–it’s not self serve, which isn’t a problem with me since I tend to overindulge if given the choice to pick how much I want, and then it all becomes a puddle at the bottom of my cup.
Seems like a big list of cons, but since this place is my favorite, I’m willing to look past it.

Didn’t really like this place… at all. May have been a bad day for them but can certainly say that I was not impressed with the food or the service. Maybe they should spend more efforts on their product then on the goofy over styled design of the place. As my friend from London stated so well. perhaps they should put additional letters below the Orange Cup sign that says «of swill»

I spent 7 hours in line at the Apple Store for the much anticipated iPad on a day when it was 80 degrees and sunny. Of course, the Apple Store *had* to be on the side of the street that got direct sunlight for the majority of the day. When I was about to pass out, my husband ran over to Orange Cup and brought me a medium cup of the natural (their term for the tart yogurt) with strawberries and mochi. Tasty and fresh and the perfect treat to accompany all your high-​end shopping outings at the Domain this summer. I think this place is going to be my «up north» fro-​yo place, the way Mambo Berry has become my «down south» fro-​yo place.
Now, when Red Mango finally hits Austin (crossing my fingers), these reviews might go out the window. In the meantime, sign me up for some more tart fro-​yo with mochi!

Meh, wasn’t the greatest. I wanted it to be self serve so I could really find something I liked. Plus the silly names don’t help you find a flavor that you’ll really fancy.
The toppings were decent, but for $ 5 for a small cup it wasn’t much of a deal. Next.

I LIKEY! The natural and glo flavors are what I got for my first visit. The natural has a good quality to it and is tart but has a slight awkward after taste that I couldn’t put my finger — er. tongue– on. It was something like aspartame or artificial sweetener, but it was very faint so I’m not sure on that — will have to go back and try again.
The glo was very good — it was the natural yogurt but flavored with light apple and aloe. It was not too sweet and still tart and very yummy!
Both flavors were good quality yogurt; they melted very slowly and felt like that of Pinkberry.
The only bad thing is that if you want a topping, it costs $ 1.00. A dollar for just one topping… … pretty ridiculous if you ask me. However if you get 2 toppings it’s only $ 1.25 and 3 it’s $ 1.50 or something. Good technique for the owners to shed their toppings but not so good for the consumer.

The FroYo here is the best in town currently until Red Mango shows up, but this place is a little odd so I had to knock a star off.
The prices are high and the portions are small. If you look at the large display cups, don’t get your hopes up. The employees will only fill the cups about ¹⁄₃ to ½ of the way.
They also have a weird ordering system where they take your name and don’t make your yorgurt until some time later when they get a free moment. It doesn’t matter if you order it plain, you’ll have to wait for all the people behind you to place their orders before you get yours. Not sure what they are trying to accomplish with this except infuriating the customer.
… BUT… with all that said, I will go back until Red Mango shows up since the flavors here are great if you like the tart styles and the yogurt is smooth like Red Mango (not chalky like Pinkberry and some other clones)

My initial review was 5 Stars… but after my second visit — I’m taking one back. Here’s why:
On my return visit I purchased the largest size cup they had with one topping… it cost me $ 5.95. I was extremely disappointed at the amount of froyo I received. You’re definitely not getting your money’s worth. For $ 5.95 I expect to get the cup filled to the rim and enough topping to cover the froyo. My cup was barely full. I wonder if the employees do not know how to dispense into the cup or if this is store policy? If this doesn’t improve, I might not be coming regularly :-(This establishment is new, so I’ll give them time to work out the kinks and let’s hope they do.

With Fro yo places opening up a dime a dozen it seems, Orange Cup does an excellent job of setting itself apart. Très cool décor and a menu to boot. Simplicity is the name of the game at Orange Cup, founded by two UT grads and now with a new location in the upscale Domain shopping area of North Austin.
So why is it so cool? Besides the wildly good yogurt flavors (like acai berry or try the seasonal Sno), and the décor, it’s the fact that as you add your custom mixings you get a personal nutrition label printed right on the container.
