Ghurtie’s

Ghurties is a family favorite! Their staff is always friendly and their froyo flavors are always yummy! Great selection of fresh, quality toppings!

Best fro-​yo in the IC/​Coralville area. Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a drive, all the way up to north Coralville and there isn’t anything else close by, so it’s not really a great post-​dinner option unless you’re willing to drive a bit. That said, the quality of the fro-​yo slightly edges Yotopia, the toppings seem fresher, and the customer service is always very attentive. A very family-​friendly environment, and a regular stop for us.

love the choice of toppings so much !

Bright, colorful, and welcoming atmosphere. Delicious yogurt flavors and plenty of toppings to choose from. Toppings were fresh. (I had strawberry and vanilla with fruit and waffle cone toppings. very tasty). 44 cents per oz. Spacious with lots of tables to sit at.

Love this place! Awesome choices of yogurt and toppings! You won’t be disappointed!

This place is great. The flavors are always wonderful and the yogurt is a great texture. It does not taste artifical at all like some of the other chain yogurt stores. The toppings are always fresh and we always have a pleasant experience with the staff when we stop in.

Visiting family in Iowa and stopped here. Great rotating flavors (mango sorbet, strawberry delight), extremely friendly service and all around very clean (despite the typical Iowa winter which means people tromping around all sorts of muck).
We decided to purchase a few pints to go!

I believe this is my very first non restaurant review and Ghurtie’s is good enough to warrant this. I first was introduced to this type of concept in LA at Pinkberry the standard bearer in the froyo industry. With that said there are no Pinkberry’s even close to here. Over the years various copy cats have popped up in Iowa, all coming up very short, until I discovered Ghurtie’s this place is just as good and it not a chain. The toppings available are extremely fresh and plenty to choose from. The staff is friendly and the place is clean and inviting. It is a little out of the way for the average visitor to Iowa City but it is worth the trip. You have to check this place out.

Great espresso Fro-​yo! Be careful on your mapquest/​google maps, don’t miss the turn!

Same thing you have seen everywhere with these type of places. The self serve frozen yogurt trend is here to stay
A lot of toppings
Bright inside
Variety of flavors
Weigh it all when done
Eat it and it will taste good, if not pick your toppings better :)

Yum. Tons of options for fro-​yo and A lot more toppings than other yogurt bars I’ve been to. I try to keep this to a once a week thing at most, but it’s hard because it’s so damn good.

I can’t decide if I like Ghurtie’s or Yotopia better, or better said if I prefer one over the other. I thought the yogurt was good, toppings were good and fresh, the place was spotlessly clean and the service was very friendly and attentive. It’s a little out of the way, but worth it when you’re in or near North Liberty.

I love the selection of frozen yogurt and toppings they have. They are always switching out the fruit toppings so you have the best pieces to choose from. They definitely have toppings for a sweet tooth. There were sugary cereals, Kit Kat, Snickers, marshmallows, gummy bears, cheesecake bites, sprinkles, etc. There is always a selection for everyone from the yogurt flavors to the toppings. Plus, the employees that work there are quite nice.

Great product, but skip the toppings. Easy to reach serving dishes and consistently obtuse parents combine in a vortex of disgusting behavior. I have MORE THAN ONCE seen precious wee tots extract their slick fingers from their noses and plunge them into the candy toppings while Mom obliviously focuses only on her own yoghurt dish. Trust me: they should change the name on one of those dishes to «Gummiboogers.»

finally tried ghurtie’s this past weekend and i’ve got to say it’s pretty good.
the first time i tried coming was on a sunday– fail on my part, but come on at least have partial hours…
they have a wide variety of flavors; something for everyone AND twist options!!!
a wide variety of toppings as well! from cereal to nuts to fruit to candy, the options are endless (though i am disappointed that they don’t have mochi like they do at another froyo place in IC). for 39 cents per oz. they are right there with the competition.
the atmosphere is really nice too– bright colors, funky seating, overall good vibes.

We tried Ghurties after hearing about it from multiple people and on Unilocal.Bottom line — This place is Rad!
Located at the top of the hill in Coralville, this place is a new gem in the area! Upon entering, you’re greeted by an eclectic mix of very modern furniture, a wall filled with frozen yogurt choices and your weapon — one of two sizes of bowl — large and small hat sized. Seriously, the huge bowl is large enough to comfortably raise small fish in.
A total of 12 flavors are at your fingertips, including a number of mixed flavors and a rare crowd favorite — the california tart. Following your choice of yogurt, you’re able to grace your delicious frozen tundra with any amount of roughly 40 choices of toppings ranging from cereal, to chocolate, to candy, to fruit. You pay by weight — 39 cents/​ounce. We found a good size cup with ample toppings ran between $ 4 – 5 and was oh so good!
We went with a group of 10 and the place was busy when we got there, however, as is the fantastic nature of the self service beast, it only took a couple minutes to get our mountains of Awesome and there was plenty of room both inside and out to chillax.
This is rapidly becoming the spot to go in the Coralville area and provides a great local alternative to spots like coldstone and Dairy Queen.
Since moving from NC, we’ve been waiting for a local yogurt place and we’re pumped it finally came! There’s very little bad with this spot. The location is great with ample parking, plenty of space inside and out for eating, the selection is excellent, the prices are solid and getting to craft your own masterpiece ensures every visit leaves you satisfied, having just what you were looking for!

My husband and I tried out Ghurtie’s for the first time today. I have been craving Pinkberry and this hit the spot! There are 8 yogurt flavors and many many toppings to choose from; from cheesecake bites to mango pieces to Andes Mints. We recommended that they add mochi to the toppings bar and the owner said she had been considering it. The décor inside is very urban, fun and vibrant. The location might be a little out of the way for those in Iowa City, but it is definitely worth the trip!

Heard about this place via word of Unilocal.My wife has recently discovered the do-​it-​yourself frozen yogurt fad so we had to go give this one a try. If you’ve ever been to one of these places, you know the drill. They have peanut butter frozen yogurt, never heard of that before but it was good. Probably best they don’t have one of these downtown so’s that I don’t get drunk and unintentionally create a $ 25 bucket of frozen yogurt, covered in Reese’s Pieces and Butterfinger chunks.

It’s about time the frozen yogurt craze came to Iowa City/​Coralville area! I heard about Ghurtie’s by word of mouth from friends and within 48 hours, was on my way.
Ghurtie’s is the perfect urban swirl joint. While it seems a little off the beaten path (odd that it’s in the middle of a neighborhood), the visit is well worth it. (Or the fifth, tenth, twentieth visit). Pay by the ounce– Ghurtie’s offers a great selection of pour yourself yogurt and topping selection. At $ 0.39/ounce, it’s very reasonable. The décor is vibrant, colorful and just plain fun. Will entice adults and kids a like.
Best non-​fat chocolate frozen yogurt I’ve ever had. Finally, my cravings for Pink Berry have been ceased.
