The Skinny Dip Frozen Yogurt Bar

The yogurt is really good… not as many choices as the one in Raleigh, but it still takes care of my froyo cravings. My mother loves this place and we frequent here when she’s in town. The staff is always friendly and the is place clean from the toppings station to the restroom.

Went there once and the frozen yogurt was okay, but the smell of soured milk in the place spoiled my appetite. Good location and if smells don’t bother you it is okay, but I definitely prefer other places to it.

Amidst multitude of froyo places popping up around the area, Skinny Dip stands out for its excellent/​creative flavors and toppings. Compared to other froyo places, Skinny is more on the sweeter and creamier side (more like ice cream, less emphasis on fruitiness), which is perfect for my taste. The toppings also rock as well; last time I checked, they had pieces of red velvet cake!

I freakin’ love this place. Probably a little too much. It helps that it’s just a mile from our house and right next to Trader Joe’s. It also helps that Harris Teeter has been running, «Buy one, get one 50% off coupons» for months. The woman working last night said now that the wintry weather is kicking in, they’ll probably start printing BOGO coupons again. That’s what I’m talking about!
I’m not very adventurous when it comes to froyo. I usually try a few of the special ones, but only in a sample size. Last night I had the soy vegan Nutella which tasted more like coffee, and I actually threw it away. i’ve never thrown out any frozen treat, so that’s saying something. But other flavors like Turtle and York peppermint patty have been excellent.
But I always stick with chocolate and vanilla swirl because the toppings are what it’s all about. Some of my favorites are the chocolate and yellow cake bites, chocolate-​covered animal crackers, and the classic Reese’s peanut butter cups, which they cut up into sizable chunks. I never mess with the fruit, so I can’t speak to that.
The staff generally keep things filled up and clean, so it’s always pretty fresh when we go in. I stay away from the times when teens fill up the place – Friday and Saturday nights – and generally during the week we have the place to ourselves. I’ll keep an eye out for the BOGO coupons and will be hitting the place up again soon, I’m sure.

Have I tried enough froyo places in Cary? Never!
After dining at Yuri next door, we wanted a little sweet treat. Skinny Dip is fairly similar to all the other local self-​serve places, but I’d have to agree with a previous reviewer that the yogurt section is a little small and crammed in the back.
There are sample cups available by the yogurt, so you don’t have to mill about awkwardly or ask the staff for a cup. The selection WAS kind of odd, which is why we went with plain chocolate and vanilla swirl instead of branching out. The SF Caramel was ok, but if you peek at the website prior to going — you’re probably going to be disappointed with your options.
The toppings are what you’d expect, and I don’t know that they were any more vast than Yolo or Yopop. We went with our usual choc chips, waffle cone pieces, gummi bears and so on. The yogurt itself was pretty tasty, but I can’t say that it was better than anywhere else.
It’s definitely a perfect place to stop if you’re in the Kildaire area.

The place has very few selection of frozen yogurt, and it actually tastes more like real ice cream. When I went there they had Strawberry, Vanilla, Chocolate, low fat chocolate, cappuccino (I think that’s about it).
Now they had a million of toppings, a lot more than other places I’ve been to. Among your regular strawberries, chocolate, coconut, mangoes, blueberries etc. they had brownies, kiwis, a few kinds of nuts and a few kinds of candies.
This is definitely a kid friendly place as the flavors might seem boring for adults and most toppings are kid oriented.
There was a ton of toddlers and their parents on Friday night, but the line moved fast and service was super friendly. They even have small sampling cups (not that you need a reminder of what vanilla tastes like).
There were 2 sizes of bowls available, both styrofoam, which I thought was a bit environmentally-​unfriendly.
In a nutshell, I won’t be back because the yogurt flavors are boring and just OK.

Minus one star for not having original tarte recipe, at least when I went (I mean, it’s the classic froyo flavor). The rest of their flavors were outstanding. I was able to try a few and decide on my favorites. The vanilla was one of the best vanilla flavored froyos I’ve ever tried, and what really impressed me was their red chocolate cupcake flavor. WHOA. It tasted like a red velvet cake, how did they do that?!
The toppings are all fresh, and there are a ton of them. I got done putting fresh fruit and gummy bears on my froyo and started walking to the register… that’s when I noticed the cereal dispensers hanging from the wall. Incredible!
This place seemed to the THE place to be on a hot night, as there were about 30 people just hanging out outside at the tables/​concrete ledges even right before closing time. I’ll definitely go skinny dipping again :)

Sometimes hand dipped just doesn’t cut it, and soft serve is where it’s at. This place proves that with some excellent ice cream. I had the Vegan Soy Black Raspberry (something like that) and it was really good.
You basically spend what you would at another ice cream shop, except you get exactly what you want on it. Fruit, candy (Sour Patch Kids!), chunks of cake, or your choice of like 20 different cereals. Plus a lot more. Definitely worth a try, and once you go, you’ll be sure to go back for many more tries.

Not bad but I judge based on the original tart flavor and this one was /​too/​tart — nearly to the point of sour. As of yet, Yo Pop is still my fave froyo place in the Triangle.
There’s not as much variety in yogurt flavors /​but/​there are tons of dry toppings to mix with. Moreso than Yo Pop (altho Yo Pop has a larger fruit selection).

Talk about a brilliant idea. What is it with all these frozen yogurt joints here? I guess we just don’t need frozen yogurt up in the frozen north!
Price is very reasonable — especially for me, as I like just a little bit of dessert. Free samples mean that you will find your perfect flavor (they sure have some interesting ones!) and it’s fun to make a crazy combination. The shop itself felt a little clinical — too much of one color! Staff was friendly enough. We sat outside to enjoy our treats, which were delightful. Yum!

I’m definitley late to the self-​serve frozen yogurt bar party, but when my sister and I went here after Trader Joe’s the other day, I was squealing like a little kid. First of all, free samples are my fave, and the young man at the counter said we could try ALL of them if we wanted. Yippee! (I did not, in case you were wondering!) I really like paying by the ounce. I figure I could start small, and if I want more, I can always go back.
This particular time I sampled Coffee Cake, York Peppermint Patty and Dark Chocolate, which was non-​fat. I actually went for the dark chocolate because it was really tasty; I was pleasantly surprised. I added on a few toppings and I was good to go. Like Jane Y. says, it would be nice if there were more fresh fruit options, but maybe in the summer there might be? Who knows. And as Jane W. mentioned, the young man working seemed like he should be in school, though he was very helpful and could obviously tell it was our first time.
The interior feels a little naked to me, but it was clean, so no complaints there. I will be back again, though it is easy to go a little overboard, but I think it’s a good option for when I have a sweet tooth craving.

I go here a lot because it is next to my favourite sushi restaurant, pet store, and grocery store.
I usually only get the classic tart, but it’s not as tart as pinkberry or redmango. It’ll do though. They do have soy and dairy free options, which I am impressed by (as a lacto-​intolerant myself). However, I never really enjoyed those flavours…=/
They have a great variety of toppings. But as a fresh fruit fanatic, I was a little disappointed by the fact that they have frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones. Most of the other fruits are freshly cut though.
If you look at your local cary coupon «junk mail», they usually have a BOGO coupon. =)

Maybe it’s because it is so close to my house, or right next door to Trader Joe’s, maybe it is the adorable staff of high energy high schoolers, or maybe it is the delicious frozen yogurt that can be topped however I want!!!
No matter what it is that makes me always want to stop by Skinny Dip… it’s working… I look forward to the Facebook status every day that let’s me know what flavors are on tap and usually have to control myself form stopping on the way home from work. Some of my favorite options include red velvet cupcake, heath bar, Yo’riginal tart, southern strawberry, and dark chocolate. There is always a vegan-​soy option and a no-​sugar added option too!
If only they had oatmeal crème pies available every day as a topping it might be 5 stars… j/​k… I really just haven’t been to any other make your own fro-​yo places in the area. We are lucky to be getting this food «trend» in the Triangle since it has been popular in California for 10 years or more…

Finally! A better choice for a splurge than the full fat ice cream shops. Yes, it should still be regarded as a treat, not a daily routine… but what a refreshing option!
You can choose your bowl, your yogurt, and all your toppings. My only wish is that there was a more sanitary way to serve the toppings that are currently on the bar with the self serve spoons. (George Constanza!) I like the containers on the wall and the hot fudge and caramel at the check out.
Give it a try!

I love this place! I first discovered the concept of frozen yogurt when I went to Yogurt Land in California. Skinny Dip doesn’t quite beat Yogurt Land but it’s as close as it gets.
For the longest time, I was hoping that something like Yogurt Land would open up on the east coast and I was glad when it finally did. My only complaint is that I wish they would offer more flavors but other than that, it’s one of my favorite places!

Well after I ate the Yougurt I did want to skinny dip !

Eh… I just don’t think I’m THAT into FroYo…
We have gone out to dinner in Cary a few times, and I REALLY wanted to try this place. I think I over-​hyped it in my mind. It’s just frozen yogurt. They do have some nice fresh toppings, but the M&M’s I put on mine were a little stale. They didn’t have any flavors that impressed me, I ended up getting «dark chocolate» (which pretty much tasted like regular chocolate yogurt). I think if I lived in the neighborhood, I would come here and appreciate it, but I don’t really think it’s something really unique to go out of the way for. One plus is that it is open kinda later.
It’s just FroYo.

Nice place, very friendly if not over eager staff. Clean.
There seems to be two frozen yogurt bars now in Cary, I have now visited both.
The Skinny Dip has eight varieties of frozen yogurt with lots of topping choices, the toppings that I enjoyed were all fresh tasting. The yogurt itself was OK, but I found the flavor a little «off». The yogurt had an aftertaste similar to a sugar free product, even though the flavors I tried were not labeled as such (there were sugar free offerings). Their website offers nutrifacts but no list of ingredients. The nutrifacts show that indeed these are low fat, low calorie frozen yogurts, but I would like to know what is in it as well, maybe that would explain the off taste. Their competitor now has nutrifacts and ingredients listed right beside each yogurt, a nice touch!
I think this place will do well given the fun concept and great location.

Not sure why Damian gave this place one star. Sure, it’s not the healthiest choice, but it’s no worse than any other place to visit for a quick treat. I don’t believe they’re trying to hide that or advertise themselves as a health food store.
I really enjoyed this establishment. It’s great for kids, their product is great, they have lots of creative toppings and it’s super cheap. The employees are forced to be a little cheesy («Have you ever skinny dipped with us before?»), but a little bit of eye rolling is worth it. I’ll be back.

Great new place to grab a cold treat with an interesting concept. The idea behind Skinny is you build your own froyo sundae concoction. You start the cup with any mix of 8 constantly rotating flavors of frozen yogurt. Some are low fat, some are fat free, one is vegan, and all are tasty. I know all the favors passed the goodness bar because the staff gives a tasting cup and encourages you to try before buying (I tried all eight flavors ;)). I ended up going with half crème brûlée and half strawberry. Next up, you head to the topping bar, where there is everything from brownie chunks, to cookie dough, to fresh fruit (strawberries with strawberry froyo!!), to sprinkles. Endless combinations, but your not done yet. Next they have a wall of dry toppings like cereal, nuts, and granola. Last but not least, there is a warm liquid bar at the register.
The thing I love about this place is you can get as much froyo or toppings as you want and mix it in or not. Plus, the prices are by weight and were very reasonable. My wife and I got two decent size cups for $ 5.50. Realize you could go crazy and ring up a big total, but its up to you. The owners are ever-​present and super nice. The only drawbacks that I can think of are the styrofoam cups and plastic disposable spoons. Compostable spoons and recyclable cups would be much appreciated. Otherwise, this place is a winner.
