Is a Berry

FYI: My review is based solely on their macarons and décor.
The macarons I chose (Nutella, Oreo, and pistachio) were a superb combination of crisp, soft, and chewy. It was a challenge for me to savor each bite! They didn’t have that many on display, so either it’s a good thing and people keep buying them, or macarons might just not be their biggest seller.
I think people might shun me for saying this, but these macarons are probably better than some of the fancy ones I have tried in the city (Laduree). Maybe I need to try all the macaron places I have been to again and compare? It’s been awhile!
The décor is super fun! I love the pink and lime green theme, because it reminds me of summer and watermelons. Only issue is that it’s Thanksgiving time, and it seems a little strange to be going back! :)
P. S. Each macaron is 2.25, which is about a quarter or two cheaper than macaron-​only places in the city.

I have passed this place a million times after dinning in Englewood and the other night I had the urge to walk in…
Cute little spot on the top of the downtown business district. Very clean inside. Also very bright. It you just had a bottle of wine at dinner it will awaken your eyes.
Same procedure of fro-​yo like all the other places out there. They do let you sample flavors beforehand. Im picky with my fro-​yo, not all of it tastes to my personal liking. So when i saw they had sorbet i was delighted!
The toppings however were kind of lackluster. Not as exotic as some of the other competitors in the area. They were very generic basic toppings.
If eating out in Englewood i would ponder coming in, but im not running out of my way here.

The frozen yogurt is just okay. Not the best I’ve ever had. The consistency is a little watery for my liking. They do however have a great selection of toppings.

This place is really clean and every time I’ve went it’s never been too crowded. I also love that they constantly have new flavors so you can try new ones! Pomegranate is my favorite but they had a coconut one last summer that I’m dying to try again!
Also, people complaining about the price. Really? Keep in mind that it’s a self serve fro yo spot and a small business, obviously chains like red mango or cups can have (very slightly) cheaper prices because they’re big corporations. And also, like another Unilocaler said you don’t have to fill up the cups people! But I do anyway :)

Great Treat for any time year round!

This place offers what other FroYo’s don’t. They are Kosher Certified (for all those who were wondering)
They have Stevia sweetened Froyo which is AWESOME (Pretty sure its vanilla, you can do a lot with vanilla). Is-​a-​Berry may be a bit more expensive than other stores, but its by a negligible amount and you end up with more variety in types of FroYo, Flavors, and toppings.
We go here constantly. We will drive two towns over to get their FroYo. Passing by the chains that popped up around here over the summer, we go to Is-​a-​Berry because they were the pioneers. They were the early adopters. They innovate while others mimic. For instance they have traditional Italian ices and SLUSHPUPPIES! that’s not what you find at Cups.
They also have some chewy Japanese dessert topping that I was unfamiliar with but is nonetheless delicious and popular.
This clean store is housed by a lovely owner.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
1. Have the taste tester cups next to the big ones
2. More Stevia flavors
3. Wet Naps
4. Have you thought about Bubble Tea?
That’s about it, I really love your store.
SUPPORT LOCAL!

Is-​a-​berry is probably the most expensive self-​serve frozen yogurt spot in the area… not by much but since it’s by the oz, it adds up quickly. The frozen yogurt itself came out a little soupy and ultimately melted very quickly. The place is very clean and the lady behind the counter was very nice. Not a bad stop for frozen yogurt if you’re in the area or live close by.

I like the friendliness of the workers. What I also like is that they have you put it together so you can decide how much yogurt is too much or too little. The size is within your control. However, the flavor that I wanted was not working. I came in for the strawberry. Since this dessert is self-​serve, one has to first retrieve either a yogurt or smoothie cup and then hold down the metal handle of desired flavor wait until the yogurt is pumped out. And to no avail, not one bit came out, just some runny yogurt water that did in fact smell like strawberry. At this point, I was unwilling to leave empty handed, so I decided get the Dutch Chocolate and Euro Tart, which is code for original flavor. The yogurt is $ 0.55 an ounce and it is written above the cashier register, so no surprises here. I noticed there was adequate seating and no bathroom for customers. Some tables were really clean while a few had rings of yogurt stains where I was sitting outside where there were 3 to 4 tables. Some tables are wobbly and missing legs. Careful!

My daughter loves this place & we usually take her here for rewards… the décor is adorable & the froyo is good… love how they switch up the flavors & what’s cool is the option to «twist» (have 2 flavors mix together at once)
yes it can be pricey, so don’t get too happy overloading your cup… only negative I have is their customer service… I like to be greeted once I enter & informed of anything new they may have etc… BUT usually the dude behind the register is too busy watching tv to even notice you.
I’m a huge huge fan of pinkberry in the city, aside from their awesome froyo, their customer service rocks… management should take note

LOVE Is a Berry! Addictive. Seriously addictive. Flavors taste clean and delicious, not like some frozen yogurt that tastes like chemical and cleaner. Self serve means you can take the serving size you wish. Not sure why people are so irritated about the prices for cups. As another reviewer mentioned, I’m more than satisfied with the serving that costs between $ 3.75 and $ 4.25 (between ½ and 1 cup). Sort of need to eyeball the serving size, but it can be done! This way you’re eating a small, healthy, smart treat instead of a ridiculous amount! Counter person is sort of eh when I go in, but that’s fine — all they have to do is weigh the cup and accept payment. Pretty simple. All in all my favorite frozen yogurt place in the area :)

awesome variety of flavors and toppings… Is a berry rotates often so it’s impossible to get bored with the flavors. The seasonal ones are my fav (apple pie & pumpkin spice = YUMMY)! I am so happy a great froyo spot popped up in Englewood!

I give this place 4 stars only because it’s the only FF yogurt spot in Englewood and I love frozen yogurt. Its kind of like a smaller not so cool and packed version of Cups in Clifton. It was a smart idea to open this on Palisades in E-​Wood because it’s a great location (right across the st from MMG) and these self serve ice cream/​yogurt spots are popping up everywhere and you don’t need many employees.

Is– A –Berry is a true fro-​yo lovers haven! From the moment you walk in the bright décor puts a smile on your face :) you are greeted by a cheerful, friendly HELLO! The store is spotless, I mean you could eat off the floor and countertop! I love the self-​serve option because it basically allows me to name my own price… if I want to fill my cup then I expect to pay a higher price, but if I want half a cup with a few chocolate chips or blueberries than I know I am getting a healthy snack for a great price!!! Somebody wrote a review and said they would rather go to Ben and Jerrys because you get more for your money… yeah you get clogged arteries for the price of an ice cream cone!!! A true bargain!
You always get what you pay for! Healthy foods are always a little bit more costly than unhealthy… salads will cost you more than a cheeseburger with fries and soda… organic costs more than non organic.
I would rather pay a couple cents more and know that I am putting something healthy into my body and hopefully everyone would agree that they are worth the same!
Is-A-Berry…I give you 5 stars! Thank you for bringing a fun, clean, high-​quality, kid-​friendly yogurt establishment into the area. I wish you all the success in the world and hope you open up more stores!!!

I’m not a fan of berry’ish frozen yogurt, so what am I doing here? I like how you can serve yourself, but be careful because the prices are high and you are priced on the weight. The toppings are fun, but I’m a naturalist and like just the simple pleasure of frozen yogurt. Outdoor seating is nice. No bathroom inside which was frustrating.

Yum. Yum. Yum. For reals. I am a bit of a froyo fiend, my friends and I go all over the place looking for good froyo. This place is adorable. We went and it is so bright– if you are depressed it’s like instant Prozac! Everything is pink and green, and they have those bucket seats. I think the froyo peeps think that it’s an experience that reverts people back to childhood, eaitng froyo, so their shops should look like children’s play places– i don’t know for sure, but this place was delish, really yummy froyo, as usual i was a huge fan of the Eurotart, although my husband liked some other stuff. I must say though, that the people that work there are saints. This poor girl working there had to deal with this crazy old woman who was wearing neon colors and looked like she stepped out of Boca twenty years ago, and was complaining that there was «Stupid crap“on the tv like a hundred times she repeated it, so she wanted to eat outside in the fifty degree weather, her froyo– outside– so the girl set up a table and chair for her, but this lady was waaaaaaaaaaay over the top, it’s like, you could ask them to turn the volume down, instead of going insane immediately, it was an entertaining although disturbing experience for all

Is-​a-​berry. Silly name, great fro-​yo. I’m not sure why people are so surprised about the price. Any serve-​yourself place is going to cost a little more. And I do mean a LITTLE more. True, the cups that they give you are very large, but you can take as much or as little as you’d like. I’m not sure how much frozen crème people think they can eat, but I’m usually very satisfied with a $ 3.75 portion. You don’t have to FILL the cups people. The flavors are great and constantly rotated. The décor is cartoony, but what would you expect for a place who’s target customer is a family and/​or kids? Don’t be silly people. Eat your fro-​yo and smile, it’ll make you feel better.

I should have known what I was getting into when every cup size appeared the same. This «serve yourself» style is almost as bogus as the tacky décor of the shop. I was annoyed when the young lady behind the counter left me waiting for 3 minutes, but LIVID when I was told I owed $ 14.00 for my 2 modestly filled cups of Fro-​Yo.
These owners must think quite highly of themselves. Sadly, I sincerely doubt their customer return is greater then 5%. I wish them luck, but as of 7/​2010, I’ll put my money on seeing something new in this location in the not so near future.

First of all, let’s say the frozen yogurt is quite good. However, this place is a rip off. I went there one night to try it. First of all, they give you one size cups (large ones) to fill up in a self serve machine, add toppings if wanted and then they weigh it. At 55cents an once you can’t get much. I bought one for my son and his friend and for myself and we spent $ 21. This is way too much to spend for three ice creams. I’d rather go to Ben andJerry’s next door and get much more for the same price.
