Yogurt Etc

The Yogurt is great but the breakfast, lunch, meal options are amazing! One of the best values in downtown Fresno, great service, beautiful location, and delicious affordable food! Gourmet hot dogs, vegan dogs, chili, fresh tamales (dying for the secret recipe), fresh trip tip sandwiches, and constant surprise lunch specials. They also do an amazing frito boat!
Great coffee and breakfast far cheaper and much faster than the nearby «barista» options.
Owner operated so service is always friendly and personal.
Love it!

I’m not very fond of this place. In fact, I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! They advertise vegetarian chili and veggie dogs. Being a vegeterian, my choices are limited. I work across the street from them. I work afternoon shifts. The past 7 times I have gone to buy a veggie dog or vegetarian chili they are either out or don’t have anything ready and I am told that I would. have to wait. I am really disappointed with this place. My lunch breaks are very short. Due to my job, I am unable to call ahead of time. I am also told that they dont want to make any. Of time because they will go to waste. REALLY? 1 or 2 uneaten veggie dogs or bowls of chili will notnmake them go bankrupt. I really wish they were more accommodating to their customers. I WILL NEVER GO BACK. I am tired of the disappointment.

I haven’t had frozen yogurt since I lived in Los Angeles. This place is fabulous — it even has carob chips! My daughter’s eyes rolled when I mentioned that but I will take them over chocolate any day. It brought back memories of a local yogurt place in Van Nuys I used to frequent.

I normally don’t spend much time at the Fulton mall or downtown for that matter. So when I went to use my dealsaver voucher at yogurt etc. I had trouble finding the place. There is no private parking so you have to park on the street and bring change for the meter unless you know of a free spot to park. The shop is Linda small and they have about 10 different flavors of froyo and the same goes for toppings. They also serve hot food, soda and snacks. The prices are reasonable but what made this place stand out was the customer service. Not sure if it was the manager or owner but he knew his stuff and helped me make a few choices. He was really friendly and gave us a great experience. There is A table inside or you can eat outside if it’s not too hot. I would recommend this place if you will be at the Fulton mall but not to go out of your way to visit because of the parking situation.

I’ve been to many frozen yogurt places in Fresno and this is definitely one of the best! It’s clean, good variety of flavors and toppings and it’s very cheap compared to others I’ve been to. I also love that it’s located downtown. There’s some indoor seating but it is kind of small, but that isn’t much of an issue since there’s also a lot of outdoor seating with plenty of shade. The staff working there were friendly and it’s very welcoming as you walk in.
I would definitely recommend anyone to come here to cool off with some frozen yogurt on a hot summer day!

I work across the street. The ONLY topping I use is the oreo cookie pieces. I go in today, and the oreo cookies are WHOLE. I asked about it. He said Oh our customers said they wanted them that way so they can scoop the yogurt. Well, doesnt it make sense to keep the pieces so EVERYONE can enjoy them? I had to take out the cookies (they were OLD and even soft they were so stale) and use my hands to tear them apart. I was a mess. WONT GO BACK

This place is a gem! Pistachio is the most popular flavor… for a reason. The flavors are accurate, the consistency is good, the toppings are varied, and despite what some other people may say the price is relatively reasonable. Also, for those who are vegan, they offer some sorbet options and an almond milk flavored yogurt. David, who works there, is super nice and they keep it really clean. Looking forward to trying some of the food there! Definitely going to be a regular.

Good service and the yogurt is some of the best in town. The frozen yogurt selection is good and they have a variety of toppings. The lunch combos are reasonably priced. I get the veggie dog is good as well as the tri tip sandwich. This is a must try. The only frozen yogurt spot in downtown and south of Shaw.

Yogurt Etc, is OK. I like how it is the only Froyo place in Downtown Fresno which is pretty convenient to me, but at the same time sucks because you have to worry about finding a parking spot during lunch hours.
But first the good things are–
–Clean place
–Friendly Service
And the bad things, which explains the 3 star review–
–Expensive at $.46/​oz
–Not as much flavors available, and too generic. Either a Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry type of flavors. It was like this as well when I first visited during their Grand opening week a couple years back.
–Not as much toppings. No Mochi. Fresh fruit seemed very limited compared to others.
Overall, this place is OK and gives good variety of food options in this area. I just hope they somehow lower their prices and offer more flavors more often.

We got graham cracker yogurt, and they have a TON of toppings! They do food too! We’ll definitely be back for lunch.

Most of these reviews are very old. Yogurt Etc now has a full salad bar with well over twenty choices of salad toppings, tri-​tip sandwiches, and bread bowls of soup (the clam chowder is so good). There are always 10 great flavors of yogurt to choose from, and they switch them up so it’s never boring. The tri-​tip sandwiches are awesome! While some of the reviews about the choices for vegetarians WERE true, the salad bar definitely makes up for it. Check this place out for sure!

Totally convenient across from the Fresno convention center. The salad bar is a great deal as you can stack the box up with fresh items, and add tuna, chicken, ham, etc. Do that and they’ll throw in a free drink. Great bargain and healthier than traditional convention center concessions. Plus, Hector is super nice.

Best frozen yogurt I’ve tried. Flavors I’ve never even heard of and haven’t had a bad one yet. Tons of toppings too. Ill be coming back regularly just to try all the new flavors. Hot dog was better than expected too.

This place is within walking distance of my office… which is a blessing and a curse. It’s totally addictive. One mention of yogurt and we’re all trying to figure out how to escape from work for a few minutes to go get some. There are 10+ flavors of yogurt which seem to change pretty regularly (which is sometimes a bad thing when your favorite disappears for awhile… BRING BACK BANANA!!!) and tons of topping options. It’s a tasty delicious addition to downtown Fresno. And they’re even open in the evenings and on weekends (unlike the galleria). Yay for Yogurt Etc!

so i’ve heard a lot about this place a lot of good things, and a lot more bad things. i always pass this on my way to Starbucks, and i usually get my breakfast there, i get a bagel and coffee. I kept putting it off and yesterday was really excited to stop by for lunch because they have hot dogs. that being my second favorite food next to pizza. lol. so as i’m getting ready to head over there for lunch. a friend tells me she just had the worst experience there. do to her diet she wanted to know the nutritional info so she calls before walking over, the person she speaks with says yes we have what you’re looking for. when she arrives she ask to see it, they man tells her they don’t have it but they have it on the boxes in the back. so when i arrive this morning i walk in there’s a young girl at the counter she kindly greets me, i told her its my first time there, and she just laughed? so i order the Egg ETc.$ 2.99 and a 20 oz Pepsi. subtotal $ 4.24 tax $ 0.34 total $ 4.58. not bad but it wasn’t worth it. the eggs were powdered i think, they were really good i got three mix-​ins. Ham was good kinda smokey taste? cheese= a must for anything lol, and bell peppers they were super fresh and crispy great taste. so being the big kid i am before even tasting them i go to the little condiment bar add pepper and a big gulp of ketchup. tasted amazing! So the taste was good the pepsi was good, nice and cold and crsp. but my thing was the service, the girl seemed like she didn’t care i originally was going to get the Egg ETc combo for «$ 5» that was the egg cup, a bagel, and a coffee* assorted flavors. but chose not to due to my time break. and glad i didn’t she took forever making my little cup of eggs. all in all i might go back and give the hot dogs a shot, but it wont be for a while. i hate bad service and they seem to only offer that there. i only was going to give one star, but do to my hunger state and the surprisingly tasty eggs, i gave it 2, fix the service and and attitude and will forsure give more stars.

So glad to see a new food offering on the Kern Street crescent which is at the north end of the convention center, across the street from the Galleria, and during the summer months, home to The Market on Kern, a super-​duper farmer’s market.
Yogurt Etc. has a lot going for it. Location being only one. There is the welcoming and enthusiastic staff who gives helpful advice. There is a broad menu, beyond the expected yogurt. It pleased me to see vegan offerings in the chili and hot dogs. They have a couple of dairy-​free sorbets, too. Being in the business and government sector of downtown Fresno, Yogurt Etc. also features breakfast items for those too busy to fix and eat at home. The tiny space is clean and well laid out.
Now, for a few drawbacks. There is no place inside to sit. I am guessing most of their trade is take-​away to all those office spaces. The Kern crescent has brick planters on which to enjoy your yogurt and there are a few tables right outside the door for those who have chosen more hearty offerings. But, those of us who know Fresno know that come winter time, no one wants to sit outdoors to eat food much less yogurt.
Second drawback is the very limited choices of yogurt. This probably would not have been evident to me had I not just stopped at a frozen yogurt shop in Los Banos that offered something like 14 self-​serve flavors. Also, the two sorbets Yogurt Etc. offers, watermelon and orange, really aren’t very good. That made me very sad as I know sorbets can be quite delicious and I was looking forward to a tasty treat.
I would highly recommend you give Yogurt Etc. a try. The staff, being so enthusiastic, I believe will improve the offerings and take suggestions to heart. This little shop has lots of potential for downtown.
(This is the review I first wrote for Yogurt Etc on June 21. Somehow a new page was started after I wrote my review, so I am moving my original review to this page.)

Not sure what the other reviewer found so wrong with the vegetarian food here, but heh this is American, right?
I love this place because it’s downtown The vegan hot dog tastes exactly like a hotdog should… LIKE A HOTDOG! The chili is a simple vegetarian 3 bean, which is good if you’re into that stuff. I like that they have a lot of dressings for your hot dog including fresh sauerkraut which sometimes you must request. The $ 5 deal for a hotdog, chips, and a soda is a pretty good deal when you’re in a rush to beat the meter. I’ve also had the «egg in a cup» scramble, which is amazing and their bagels are good too.
So onto what their name implies is their business focus… Yogurt! They have many options available and rotate flavors out almost daily. They have probably the best selection of toppings compared to any other yogurt place in town, which is amazing. Sometimes I skip the yogurt and just load up on fresh fruit, it’s very satisfying on a summer day.
My only suggestion for this place is if they carried a more locally made brand of chips, such as Dirty, because the quality is much better and many times healthier. Only a few places in town carry unique, more locally made potato chips and they rule!
You can’t ask for much more, especially in Downtown Fresno where it’s a vegetarian desert. This place is run by two gentlemen who’re very receptive to feedback and suggestions. I see no reason why you shouldn’t visit this place and decide for yourself. :)

I was waiting for the train and this was the only place with vegetarian /​vegan options in the area. The vegan dog was one of those tofuky dogs. Not impressed. The chili was a travesty. It was just three type of beans and maybe four small chunks of tomato. Where are the peppers, the corn, the tofu, something?! And would it kill them to use spices?
the girl working there seemed clueless.
Do not recommend.

This is the best frozen yogurt I’ve ever had. Great rotating selection of flavors. Very friendly and attentive staff.
