Yogen Fruz

this place doesn’t even deserve a star. Went in and none of the machine were working, very rude customer service, not only to me and my bf but the Indian lady behind the counter was rude to the customer in front of us too. Will never return to this place and I seriously doubt this place will remain open for business for too long. take your money somewhere else, there are many other good frozen yogurt places around the loop area.

Just went there, it is closed. Maybe their lease was up May 1? The windows are all covered with brown paper. Late afternoon snack hopes squashed.

Yenni is so precious. She’s the cashier and she’s always so helpful.
And their yogurt is delicious as all heckity.

I decided to give this place another shot on last friday. This time I didn’t order a menu item, I just went for a make your own frozen yogurt sundae.
The lady at the front was nice enough to come back and offer me a sample of the ice cream. They had vanilla, dark chocolate truffle, red velvet and another flavor that I forgot. It was all in a soft serve form and a swirl pattern.
I went for the dark chocolate frozen yogurt. I really like it. It was cold and it had a smooth, and soft consistency. It had a rich, and delicious dark chocolate flavor. I felt like it was an intense chocolate taste. It also tasted like truffles, and it had the creaminess of truffles. I though the name was appropriate.
I also took a little vanilla. It taste like your basic vanilla ice cream, and it tasted milky.
On top of the frozen yogurt I included reeses peanut butter cup, heath toffee bits, and little cheesecake bite.
Each tasted the way they usually do. Although I think the cheesecake was a no-​bake cheesecake. It had a soft texture in both the cream cheese, and the graham cracker crumbs.
When they weighted my cup my order only cost 2.50. I was very satisfied with the price. It is better to come here than go to a coldstone creamery and pay 4 or 5 dollars and ingest much more calories.
I am satisfied with my second experience, and I would recommend this place for the customizable frozen yogurt cups.

This is a review for the bubble tea rather than the froyo. I got the red bean bubble tea, and was initially very pleased with how good it was. However, once I got to the boba inside, I realized to my dismay that it had not been cooked through. The insides were still rock hard, rather than soft and chewy like they should have been! And it wasn’t just one tapioca pearl either — All of the tapioca was like this — undercooked. :-(I realize that it takes a long time to boil tapioca to get then cooked through, but cmon! Won’t be coming here for bubble tea again, that’s for sure.

Self serve (or order behind the counter for fancier things) then load your delicious yogurt up with as many toppings as you want yourself and pay by weight. Their traditional yogurt was delicious and they had a great selection (red velvet fro-​yo anyone?!) of flavors AND toppings.
Sprinkles and brownie bites, yes please!

I hadn’t been here since January (I know) when this was a full-​service froyo joint. I was pleasantly surprised to stop in today and find that this Yogen Fruz has morphed into a self serve, pay-​by-​the-​ounce concept. Before I put my money where my mouth was, I decided to benchmark the offerings here by trying a sample cup of the original tart. Finding that it passed muster, I grabbed a cup to begin my froyo odyssey among the handles on offer. I dismissed the red velvet cake and coconut among others and decided to keep it simple– for me– with a swirl of the cookies ‘n’ cream and the original tart. I wish I’d stuck with the original flavor, as the cookies ‘n’ cream had a bit of a chemically taste on the finish, as though it were derived from liquor. While liquor is always a favorite, I’d argue that it doesn’t have a place on my froyo spoon. As far as the service, I noticed a vast improvement over the previous setup, which could be downright brusque. There were a few people working the counter, and it seemed like the line moved at a fairly decent clip. I will be back here and hope this spot remains viable at least through the rest of froyo season.

I really didn’t enjoy my mango scoop. It left a bad aftertaste. I think that the price/​product ratio is a bit skewed as well. Sorry but I wish them well.

Awesome froyo! Come here, it is a must! Do it already! Are you here yet? Check in now.

I live a mere five minute walk away and I’ve been here once.
That one time, I got rude glares from the one girl behind the counter and a less than fabulous froyo.
And every other time I walk by, it’s closed. What are the hours of this place? It’s basically open for three hours every fourth Tuesday of even months that fall in line with full moons.
For alternative froyo in this area, there’s a Kingoberry on Plymouth/​Harrison.

Took an extra long lunch hour to come here with a friend on a groupon and it wasn’t that worth it. The place was clean, and they had some tempting flavor combinations, but I didn’t like that you didn’t get to taste them first because they only make the batches for the order. I got the coffee one and it was really sour. My friend liked her key lime one, but I’m sure it was the better choice because lime is supposed to be sour. I just don’t think it was worth the (minimal) calories. Not my fave.

Oh my goodness, I’m so glad that other people on Unilocal think the same way I do.
I ended up coming to yogenfruz because for some reason, it was really hard to track down a pinkberry or a red mango nearby (the place near the hostel I stayed at closed during the weekends).
The service here is so ridiculously bad. That’s saying a lot, because I seriously fell in love with Chicago because of their great service everywhereeee. This is the ONE exception where I’ve experienced the worst service ever.
I stayed clear from the fruits because they really didn’t look fresh. I got the green tea + mochi froyo from their menu of special flavors. They told me I wasn’t allowed to add more toppings other than mochi for free because it was a special item on the menu, which I thought was complete bs. They’re super stingy about the portions and about the toppings. I think I got like, 5 pieces of mochi for about a 5 dollar small froyo. Freaking ridiculous. The green tea froyo was good, but that’s as far as it gets.
The woman who was working there was also ridiculously rude. She was super condescending whenever someone asked about an item on the menu, and she clearly did not look like she wanted to be there.
The place also changes their hours whenever they want, and it seems like they’re rarely ever open. I’m pretty sure you’d be doing more business if you guys stayed open later and on more days during the summer, not vice versa. So disappointed.

Hands down my favorite froyo joint in the city. I used to come here for lunch every Monday and Wednesday before classes at DePaul. I usually just got a smoothie and told her what I wanted in it. Pretty soon people from my class would do the same; I started that trend.
The smoothies were my favorite, but sometimes when it was warmer out, I would get the actual froyo with 3 toppings. I always get fruit because its the perfect combination of freshness! They also do punch cards where your 10^th is free, totally worth it if you are always here. Service was generally decent, except for when the tourists and out of towners start coming in the warmer months. They look at the menu like zombies.

so many choices and I’m glad that they have non-​fat ones. They actually blend tart foryo with REAL FRUITS. that’s a win! I’ve tried a variety and love the banana one the best.

I like sweeter frozen yogurt/​ice cream rather than the tart kind, so I appreciate that they have different flavored bases and the ability to mix in different flavors. I usually get the chocolate base with bananas and strawberries mixed in and its delicious.
My only complaint about this place is the price. I understand that frozen yogurt is really hot right now and accordingly, tends to command a high price, but I just don’t think this place justifies it. One of the big reasons for me is that the portion sizes seem really deceptive. Even though the cups themselves are quite large, the way they swirl it out there is generally a big empty spot in the middle. The yogurt also seems to have more air than usual mixed in because it melts really quickly and almost down to nothing. They also don’t put very much of each topping on considering the premium you pay for each.
In other words, I give this place an A+ for flavor, but a B– for value.

NO NO NO. I got an Original Tart, and I was so sad I wasted my money on this location. The texture was all wrong — when I have significant trouble scooping a spoonful of froyo into my mouth because the froyo is too hard, that ruins the froyo experience. Plus the taste was off — not what good Original Tart is supposed to taste like. And I know — I’ve had GOOD froyo in LA for the past 3 years.
There is not a wide selection of flavors or toppings. And you can’t sample the flavors before you decide because the froyo is «made-​to-​order.» Sad, because I would not have ordered here if I had sampled it beforehand. Service was meh. Ambiance is meh — this location shares the space with a sandwich place. Will not be back.

I so badly wanted to love Yogen Fruz. Sadly, that didn’t happen. The yogurt itself was decent. Not as good as some of the other places around but tasty enough. I strayed from my normal «original tart» and got non-​fat vanilla. Fruit toppings were good — seemed fresh. A little pricey for a pretty small amount of yogurt.
So why 2 stars? HELLO THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE MATTERS!!! First off, don’t yell at me when I don’t just know how to order on my first time there. It’s not like you have an instruction sheet or anything. And then, maybe the boss/​manager/​whoever shouldn’t berate the woman making my food for giving me too much yogurt while I am still standing there waiting for said yogurt. Only thing that would have made that worse is if she had made her remake it with less yogurt. Thankfully that was not the case. (because their small is expensive enough as it is!) But really — learn some customer service.
If I’m walking by and have a craving for froyo, I’m sure I’ll stop again. But if I’m traveling for it anyway, I think I’ll pass on this.

Their original is pretty good — definitely better than Berry Chill. A bit sweeter and creamier, but lacks a bit on the yogurt flavor when compared to Pinkberry.
10% off with student ID, I think. A bit pricey for what it is — comes out to around $ 6 for a medium original with three toppings ($ 1.50 for three toppings).

I’m so shocked by how they make frozen yogurt here! Its so weird but cool at the same time! I may come back again just to watch the guy make a new batch of yogurt!
I ordered the strawberry frozen yogurt. I asked to try a tasting but was told I couldnt because he had to make it from scratch and it would be a big batch, not a small tasting size. Man… I guess I’m gonna have to buy a cup and take a chance!
I’m glad I did though! To start, he put in two chunks of white blocks into the machine. Then he added some strawberries, then presto chango, the yogurt starts coming out as a soft serve, and what was white blocks of yogurt was now strawberry soft serve! COOL. Next time I’m doing piña colada!
They have toppings here for 50 cents each extra. I thought about doing mochi, but didnt want to add on toppings if I didnt like the soft serve yogurt to being with. Next time I’m throwing on top some mochi topping! Yummie!

Something new in my work hood! That alone is worth the excitement.
Like previous reviews, the ordering is confusing (and I like to think I’m a smart cookie)…Shoot, even the employee told the customer next to me (jokingly) that I was confused and I was.
They were explaining to me how the texture is different depending on if you want the Blend It or the Top It. For the Blend It portion, you can get chocolate, but not for the Top It ones. The fruit can be used for blending or topping. The Acai flavor is used only for the Top It. See, I’m confusing myself already!
Point is, this place sells tasty frozen yogurt with low calories, low fat, probiotics (whatever the hades that means), and fresh fruit. It’s definitely a great alternative to the DQ, Starbucks, or other fattening places nearby.
The big con is the price, but my momma taught me that nothing in life is free (except for the samples Yogen Fruz gives out if you ask)…
