Berripop Yogurt Meyerland

I like this place. It’s your average yogurt spot right next to Starbucks, perfect. I love the smoothies although they are quite expensive, $ 6.27 with tax included. It’s small in there, not much seating, but cozy.

Once again I’m caught in the middle of a ¾ star review. The only reason I gave this place a 4 is because of the taste. OMG!!! I NEVER thought yogurt would taste so good! My bestie and I met up for the evening to exchange some possessions we were holding for each other. We had initially decided to meet up at Smoothie King, but there was hardly any tables to sit at – I felt claustrophobic just standing inside the place looking at the menu. Maybe I’m wrong (and please correct me if I am), but smoothie king seems like a place you go to when you want to have some healthy elixir mixed up after a workout. I usually see smoothie kiosk or stores near gyms, so that’s what my generalizations are coming from. In either case, we nixed the idea of Smoothie King and came to BP Yogurt instead.
I have to say that I am not use to paying dang near $ 3 – 5 for yogurt, BUT the taste is worth it once in awhile. First of all, they have about 5 flavors of yogurt (I mixed 2 together –the Berripop and watermelon) and purchased fruit on top. The fresh fruit is what makes it spectacular! Since I was paying for the fruit, I had the youngster put the most expensive fruits on top (blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries because I believe in getting my money’s worth)!
On a Sunday evening, the place was packed and getting plenty of customers – so much so, there were no tables available to even enjoy the yogurt. Our only option was to sit outside and enjoy the June humidity and dirty and trashy concrete that was designated as «patio» dining. However BP Yogurt’s patio area only had chairs. We decided to partake of Starbucks’ patio that at least had umbrellas.
Honestly, I would only go to this place because of the yogurt. Even if there was a table inside of the restaurant, I would still feel quite cramped. They have a great business idea in a prime location, but I think a little investment on the patio would go a long way to bring patrons. Plus, if you’re comfortable enough to consume your purchase on the premises, you might buy more yogurt because it is so gooood you’ll gobble it up in 5 minutes (then too you don’t want the yogurt to melt on you)!

Only two employees that had to be both 16, so maturity was lacking in the transaction. They were nice until the female employee started chastizing the male employee for something going on behind the scenes. Bad timing to start bashing her counterpart. I actually had to come to his defense just so that I could finish paying for our yogurt.
Yogurt was WAY too sweet and WAY too tart. All flavors tasted the same because of this… it was just that overpowering and overwhelming. My 6 year old son loved it, but my 40 year old taste buds hated it and I was concerned about experiencing diabetic shock even though I don’t have diabetes.
I won’t go back… even if my son points at it with interest as we drive by.
