Yogofina

***WARNING***
EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Patrons are allowed one, count it — ONE, taster cup. If you wish to taste more than one flavor you must eat all of the yogurt on that one itty bitty, teeny tiny paper cup and re-​use it.
I was informed of this practice AFTER I had already used my allotment of taster cups to try a flavor. Had I known this was the case I would have turned and walked straight out the door without tasting or sampling or buying anything.
What if someone touches their mouth and/​or tongue to the taster cup and then touches that cup to the dispenser where their next sample is coming out from? Because the yogurt is all self serve, this means the bacteria from their mouth is spread from yogurt to yogurt. DISGUSTING.
I don’t know if all Yogofina locations implement such terrible, gross, unsanitary and dangerous methods purely in the interest of saving money. But I can say for sure that I’ll never, ever go to this place for any reason whatsoever. I’ll also tell all my friends, family and the entire internet about their shameful, wanton, intentional spread of communicable disease.

Yogurt options were great! Toppings were very minimal at 8:30pm on a Sunday night, so a little disappointed in that.
The brownie bites tasted stale and there was no cookie dough or fruit options :(
I am a frequent visitor of Yougurt land, so I wanted to give this place a try, but I might just stick with my normal place!
Only up side was they had Finding Nemo playing! Love that movie!

This yogurt shop is a okay, average one. If your just looking for the yogurt, but not on the high end then this is the place. Although, the toppings aren’t the best. They aren’t fresh and all of them are either stale or hard because they’ve been out too long. All in all, I would only go back here if I’m looking for an average frozen yogurt, not high end.

Out of all the places to get fro-​yo in Castro Valley I would say this is the best.
It’s a self-​serve store so you can create your bowl to your liking. They offer a variety of flavors both fruity and not (cookies n cream, cappuccino, etc). They change the flavors up every couple of months which is exciting, but they maintain a few regular ones. Most of the flavors are pretty good and not overly sweet.
Yogofina has a decent selection of toppings with healthier options and cookies and candies. However, the fruit isn’t always fresh and the cookies tend to be stale and hard to chew.
The service here isn’t great. There was only one lady behind the counter who wasn’t very friendly. However, the variety of flavors and the ability to control how much yogurt and the amount of toppings I get make up for that. The price is reasonable and based on how much you get.

Frozen yogurt… the slightly «healthier» cousin to ice cream. Of course healthy goes out the window if you laden it with a billion deliciously unhealthy toppings. There is plenty of flavors to choose from, a decent selection of sugar-​free flavors, and toppings.

It really annoys me how this place has no cheesecake bites and the same boring flavors

I love Yogafina’s in Castro Valley! There are many flavors to choose from and the yogurt is delicious and creamy-​not too sweet and not too tart. There are plenty of toppings and the price is reasonable. The ladies behind the counter are very polite and sweet and always greet me. The atmosphere is pleasant and they always have a Disney movie playing. Sometimes I stay there to eat it but most of the time I bring it home, and the ladies are always ready to place a lid on it and provide a to-​go bag .Best part of my day!

SO, I totally understand that they close at 10, but I feel like they should start cleaning at least around 15 minutes early rather than 30 minutes early.
I mean, I understand that they’re about to close and they wanna get home, but I went in with my dad and she looked pissed. We got our froyo and tried to get some toppings but she had taken away all the serving spoons, tongs and most of the toppings were gone… Honestly, closing is at 10, so she should technically start cleaning up at 10… not at 9:30… just saying…
Also, after she took my discover and swiped it, I realized there was a sign that said «mastercard and visa only» but my discover went through…
If there was another froyo shop in CV, I would go there than here. Service freaking sucks.

I usually go 2 Nubi’s in san Leandro… yogofina is actually really good. Each time I come in I see the same 2 women… one of them is a little mean but cool at the same time. They hv great selections (good variety) of yogurts but they’re a little expensive… & i noticed a few times coming in that their fruit isn’t always fresh. Which doesn’t bother me cause I only come 4 the yogurt. If they were a bit cheaper I’d definitely come more often.
Oh and the facility is always clean and chill.

You can never go wrong with origina tart fro-​yo. This location however the fruit doesnt seem as fresh and the lady working the counter doesnt seem like she wants to be there :(
I just want my desert lady. What a buzzkillington.

I guess I’m picky… but if you don’t say hi to me when I walk in or don’t have Taro flavored froyo, then you don’t get my money

LADY is STINGYYYYY! I’ve been to lots of frozen yogurt shops and this place is crazy stingy! When you ask for sample cups, she will give you only one tiny cup. Other places give you 2 – 3, or simply have them sitting out. Don’t get me wrong I’m not encouraging people to take advantage of it… but if you are displaying 10+ flavors, I might want to try more than one. Just sayin…
Yogurt was ok, toppings… ok… but when we went to go pay and ask for water she said they don’t offer water! Only bottled water. Nice way of showing your appreciation for your customers! Won’t be going here again.
YOGURTLAND
is AMESOME if you’re looking for a good place to go. Great customer service, friendly staff, they let you try more than ONE flavor, and (drumroll please) they have fruit-​infused water sitting out so you can help yourself. Love it there.

This is our family’s go to yogurt shop. A wide variety of flavors and toppings to choose from, including mochi and Reese’s pieces. I noticed the last time I was there that every time a customer used a yogurt machine, the employee went over afterwards and wiped it clean. No wonder the store is in such immaculate condition. Friendly customer service, too!

I think all fro-​yo places are the same. You grab a cup, pull a lever (repeat) add the desired toppings, get weighed, pay and then grab that colored plastic baby size spoon to start shoveling.
This location is clean, has a good amount of different flavors some non-​fat, low sugar and reduced sugar/​fat and lots of seating. They change the flavors periodically.
The only bummer is the variety of toppings. They have a limited amount of fruit, cookies and candy compared to the San Leandro location.
I’m not going to complain, it comes in handy when in the area with a sweet tooth and you don’t want the full fatty ice cream sundaes served across the street at the creamery.

OLD RUDE LADY!
I should have heeded the warnings of fellow Unilocalers. I have been craving frozen yogurt and haven’t wanted to drive all the way to yogurt land in Dublin, so I decided to try this place.
Yogurt is just fine, just as it is anywhere else. Minimal flavor selection, but whatever– a craving is a craving right?
The old Asian woman behind the counter has some nerve! I walk in to an empty place, no one in site. So I decide to help myself to some ¹⁄₁₀^th of a cent tester cups. All hell broke loose! She came from around the corner screaming «no no no no!!! What are you doing???» uhh, testing some flavors? She grabs them out of my hand while scolding me and hands me one. What am I supposed to do with one? I want to test more than 1. «only one per customer» I’m sorry I didn’t see that sign posted.
She reluctantly gave me 2 tester cups, so i said «fine I’ll use a big cup to test my flavors» as I’m reaching for a spoon, she grabs the container of spoons and hides them behind the counter. Lol. I’m 24 I can’t remember the last time I was disciplined.
So I proceeded to use my big cup to test about 6 flavors and then threw it away which I’m sure pissed her off — but at this point why would I care? My PMS and craving took over cause I ended up purchasing a $ 6 yogurt when normally I would’ve just walked out.
Needless to say ill never come here again. I’ll take the drive to Dublin any day. It’s pretty unfortunate cause it’s right down the street from my house.
PS: I finished my yogurt in the time it took me to write this review, and it definitely melted within like 5 minutes.

Folks, I live in a dungeon. I eat cat food and have a female fart fetish. It’s safe to say that I’m not a man that requires much to be happy. That said, I whisked my super secret girlfriend away to this place, and boy were we unhappy! If there’s one woman that can save me from mothers treacherous grip, it’s her, the angel. but she works for food. Anywho, I had some 3 star yoghurt myself, nothing wrong other than it being melted, but my darling, she had the plain tart and boy oh boy was it off. Folks, I’m talking about jesus-​h-​i-​have-​cottage-​cheese-​in-​my-​refrigerator-​now off.
We went back to let the the owner know. It tastes fiiiine to me! Nothing wrong with it, what do you want me to do about it? Give you your money back? No way, I’m not doing that, you can get something else but no no no, no money back.
If you want to be treated terribly, apply for mothers foster care. Otherwise, save yourself the tainted yogurt and go to «Yogurt Espresso» at the border of Hayward and Castro Valley. It tastes better and your dessert won’t be interrupted by the city health inspector. Now if you’ll excuse me, my girlfriends exclusive fart videos are waiting…

Came here after lunch date with best friend and the place was quite empty. The yogurt was alright. I didn’t really like most of the flavors. The service sucked too because the worker was definitely inattentive even though we were the only one there. I’ve definitely had better yogurt experience else where.

When I first walked in to the store, the place looks empty.
There was no greeting and no music playing in the background.
There was an old lady, which is the owner, didn’t crack a smile when I walked in.
The cost is 0.39 cent per ounce.
The place have more fresh fruit and dry toppings than Nubi Yogurt.
I had to ask for a sample cup from the owner at the counter.
I tried the Chai tea flavor and it was horrible.
Overall, I would come back to this place.

My girlfriend and I went here last night because now that golden spoon is closed up the street it is the closest frozen yogurt store to us. (there is one opening next to Val’s Burgers in Castro Valley soon though.
We were incredibly disappointed with our experience.
The place was DEAD, we were the only ones in there and now we know why!
The consistency was ALL off, very icy and half melted, their machines were not calibrated right. The yogurt was not enjoyable at all.
The pumpkin pie flavor tasted like frozen pumpkin sugar, not good.
The flavor was off as well, overly sweat, and the tart was not as good as Yogurt-​land or other competitors.
$ 3.50 for a small container of frozen yogurt which we never even finished because it was not even worth the calories (that is saying a lot if you know me)
This place will not last much longer.
Go to Baskin Robbins across the way for .88 soft serve 3 times as good.

Came in today around 7 or so. It’s self service, 1 visible employee, NO greeting when you walk in. Doesn’t offer samples unless you walk up to the counter yourself.
I had the Sugar free vanilla which to me was pretty damm good, topped with strawberries and granola…
7 bowls of yogurt. 28.84…
It was empty and looks boring, no music, tv action! Nothing!!! Oh well their lost. were going to tuttimelon instead
