Froplay Yogurt

The raspberry /​pomegranate frozen yogurt was good. The clerk was also friendly. That’s about all they have going for it. The toppings looked like they were in dirty containers with scoops that haven’t been cleaned in a while either. Half of the yogurt dispensers were shut down so the choices were limited. Parking is limited to the curb in front of the business so good luck. They should have different container sizes but they dont. I just wanted a small yogurt and it still ended up being $ 5, and the Mochies I topped it with were rocked hard stale.

I am very conflicted on how to rate this shop. I will say that the yogurt is very, very good and the owner is nice. However, as others have said– the toppings area is a mess. The toppings look very old and unsanitary. I would never eat any other toppings there. It makes me wonder: if the toppings are a mess (what customers see) how sanitary is the back of the shop that we dont see? Also, the opening hours can be inconsistent. I have been there twice when they were supposed to be open and they were not. I think the owner may be the only employee. Please hire extra people, clean the place up and be more consistent.

This is ridiculous. We have a tradition with a group of students where we go once a week to frozen yogurt. They love froplay because of the fun atmosphere and the games. HOWEVER, we have come three times over the past month and they are CLOSED at random hours. Every time we go there is only one person working. He needs to hire someone else, I’m sure he’s losing a lot of business. It’s not right to post hours and then close whenever you please. That’s why you post hours! So people know when you’re open. These poor kids get so excited and then their faces drop when the doors are closed and the lights are off yet online they say they are open. It’s just not right. You’re clearly catered towards children so why are you disappointing them?

The yogurt was decent but the containers for the toppings were filthy and the area around the toppings was as well. When I mentioned it to the guy working there his answer was «self serve.» How about getting off the chair and cleaning up. Other self serve yogurt shops keep it clean and they are a lot busier. I won’t be back.

Love the yogurt and toppings :) the fact that there isn’t billion choices of ice cream makes it easier to chose. My local go to place for yogurt !:)

The four stars are for the taste of the frozen yogurt but as far as the toppings go they lose a star… The Animal crackers were a bit on the stale side I didn’t try all of their toppings but they did seem to have an assortment of toppings unlike the chain of fro-​yo places that only have a few! All in all the service was great and the taste was excellent!

I agree with a lot of the Unilocalers on this one. The owner is very nice. The flavors of froyo were good including my favs coffee and salted caramel. Unfortunately, the toppings were very unimpressive. Only peanuts, no almonds, walnuts, pecans. The fruit selection liked unbelievably old like it had been out all day. Of the fruit there were only strawberries and syrupy cherries. We usually go to Twist who are so on top of keeping their toppings rotated and fresh. They are currently remodeling or something so we were forced to go here. Ah well.

I was in the area and saw this place while driving down Santa Monica. They have a pretty basic selection of froyo flavors. I usually like getting the plain tart with chocolate chips and blueberries, bananas, and strawberries. Unfortunately their fruit selection was limited but their froyo was still pretty good. Not very crowded when we came so we got our froyos pretty quickly. You will need to find street parking.

I wish I could rate this place higher because the owner was so nice, but the venue was grimy and the toppings weren’t sanitary.
Its nice that they provides board games for their guest, but they were all sticky and old. Not gonna lie, they had a variety of flavors and a lot of different types of toppings (they had 4 different types of popping boba)! However, when I sat down to enjoy my yogurt I found some hair and mold in the strawberries. That was it. Can’t go back to a place after finding that.

The owner seemed to be a really nice person and I wanted to like this place as it’s the closest froyo to where I live but I didn’t have the best experience…
There was good selection of yogurts (although it was missing strawberry, my favorite) and there were so many more toppings than I usually see at places like this, which was a huge plus. The place has a lot of seating and a ton of board games available to play while you enjoy your froyo. However, when my friend and I sat down to play something all of the games were really dirty (covered in yogurt and who knows what else) so we didn’t play.
And then, my friend found mold and hair on one of the strawberries in her yogurt. We brought both of our yogurts back up to the owner and he offered to give us fresh cups but we declined and left. 2 stars because the owner seems to be trying to make this place great, but I will not be returning.

The owner takes great pride on the recipes that they craft at the business and remembers his customers and aspects about them, which is a huge plus.
They list the types of yogurts which have live, active cultures, which I appreciate. I wish that there were a few more fresh fruit options on the fixin’s bar, but this isn’t a deal-​breaker with me. I’ve taken friends here and they like the yogurt too.
The music played is at a pleasant level, not too loud. The furniture is pleasant and modern and there are even board games that you can play while eating.
The tart flavor was pleasantly tart and refreshing. It’s one of my favorite of all of the tarts which I’ve tasted, including Pinkberry.
Parking across Santa Monica Blvd. is more plentiful than on the same side as the business. There’s a pay lot, behind the $.99 store which almost always has spots free. You might have better luck finding a spot there than on-​street parking near Fro-​Play and it’s a quick walk across the street.

Pretty good flavors. I ended up getting the tart and blueberry, the latter which was fresh, flavorful, refreshing, and, much to my amazement, sugar-​fee.
The topping station had an impressive array of toppings (particularly candy ones) but was unfortunately also the messiest I’ve seen at any froyo place. There was also a dirty wet mop smell to the place.
Prices are reasonable, there is ample seating, and the person working there was nice.
Overall though, there wasn’t anything that distinguished this place from any of the countless other froyo places. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, but if you’re in the area and are craving froyo, you should stop by.

I really liked this place! The yogurt was quite good, the prices were competitive, and they have games there for you to play which I like. It’s like they give people a chance to unplug and interact. The employee or owner, not sure, was very nice to me, and my young sister and I really appreciated the customer service. It feels like a small business where the people who work there take pride in the store. I’ll go back !

This location is great. If it offered better flavors and revamped the spot, It’d be undoubtedly a local hang out spot. Its spacious inside and conveniently located on Santa Monica Blvd (across from Shell). Street parking only, all meters.
About 10 flavors, but usually 2+ are out of order. No flavor is spectacular but they are decent (fruity and tart are sub par). They have a selection of cookie dividers by the cups, so you can split your cup and separate the yogurt, which I thought was useful (maybe expensive though since its charged by the weight, $ 0.32/oz). Toppings are ordinary but all look a little stale.
The shop has a number of tables for seating and quite a few board games and toys. It is almost too much games, colors, toys hoarded together that I felt like I was trapped in a kids play house. I love the idea, board games are legit, but update your stock bud!
Finally, customer service is great, the yogurt is decent. It satisfies my almost daily need, but mainly it’s walking distance from my house so the convenience is why I visit. The one man staff (I have never seen any one else working. .) is very kind and always giving me a discount! He seems to remember everyone, and he always has a smile on his face.

So the little pun name for this place did catch my eye, I hate to admit, but did it deliver a great experience? Sort of I guess. Sadly, the froplay here didn’t lead to a frogasm…
The place was empty when I finally decided to try it. I wondered how places like this stay alive.
The décor is reminiscent of that used in other frogurt places. Colorful and modern. They are nice enough to provide board games for anyone who might like to play them while eating here.
I can’t say the flavors here were all that appealing to me. Pretty basic stuff. Nothing like taro or matcha here. I decided to try the pomegranate. It was ok. One thing I didn’t like was the way the melted frogurt looked in the little dish they put under the frogurt server. It made me feel like I was going to ingest something really artificial. If I were them I would clean the little dishes much more often so people wouldn’t see that. Another thing I didn’t like was that the frogurt server is ridiculously hard to use. I thought I was holding it down hard enough but the employee that was there came over and held it down harder and only then did the frogurt come out quickly. Lame.
The sole employee in this empty little spot this fine day was trying to be friendly but it didn’t come out the way he thought it was coming out to be sure. It was a little awkward. He seemed to be elsewhere. This place is kind of depressing in spite of the lively colors. Crickets and tumbleweeds anyone?
There are tables inside and outside there are some as well. I was happy to sit outside since the table I picked was totally in the shade. That is until some strange guy came by and plopped down on the chair next to me. Some businesses on this side of the street have outside seating but there is a lot of glare. Not here at least. I’ll give them points for that.
For the most part I’ll try to Froget this place… How’s that for a play on words?
Parking is an issue in this area for the most part, but you can park in the neighborhood to the south of this place for free.

Best froyo in town! Friendly customer service and cute shop! Cute décor!
Been to others in town and liked the concept of this one with games. Love the name too!
I’m a huge tart fan and have tried many tart flavors. Froplay has the best by far and have the BIGGEST blackberries to top it with!
Several froyo places have toppings mixed due to messy customers and this place has it figured out and is so clean and neat. Spotless shop!
The Employee helped me and gave me plenty of sample cups to make sure I got the perfect cup! Was hard to pick because so many were yummy. The chocolate was a bit to chocolatey for me but my friend loved it!
And guess who was here? Simon Cowell! Love this place :) :) :)

This place is a solid 3 star! I would have given them 4 stars but half of their flavors were either out or they just didn’t have anything to offer other than the basics.
Basic selection of FroYo flavors and the regular line up of toppings! I would have liked to see more fruit flavored poppers (LOVE THEM!!) but all they had was strawberry.
The set up is cute — they have comic book sketches with funny names that let you know what each flavor is. The place is really colorful and they have good customer service. It wasn’t packed when we were there so the cashier guy was attentive.
Their yogurt is really good and their prices are awesome too! I’ll try it again to see if they put more flavors up!

A group of friends and I were walking around the area after having dinner and drinks on Sawtelle and stumbled across this yogurt place. They were just about closing (I believe the manager was counting out the register) but welcomed us inside regardless, which I thought was really nice! He totally made our night!
They have great selection of froyo flavors and A TON of different toppings to choose from. I went with my usual plain tart and got some sour candy toppings, which I normally don’t do but I was being adventurous. The plain tart was really good. Just your standard, but it was creamy and the consistency wasn’t too runny. There are plenty of seating and the place is pretty big for a froyo joint. Good service and great dessert will keep me coming back!

Wow, TOTALLY forgot to update you Unilocalers on Froplay. Since the new owner took over, there have been lots of changes. They still have a pretty good rotation going on the more interesting flavors (like pumpkin and mint), while the most popular flavors remain (like original and chocolate).
The biggest changes have been to what Froplay now offers for dressing your yogurt. In addition to the items they had in the past (gummy bears, yogurt chips, chocolate syrup, fruit, etc.), Froplay now carries a whole slew of candies you might find at a retro candy shop (like sour lemons and ring pops). They also have a drinks case now, as well.
It’s nice to see that the new owner is open to trying new things and providing something interesting for us shoppers.

I am a lady who loves convenience. And for me, Fro-​Play is about as convenient as it gets in the frozen yogurt department. But I’d like to think that I would still be coming here even if that wasn’t the case.
I have never been disappointed in their yogurt flavors’ taste, though I do wish they would try and be a little more adventurous than either tart, sorbet, or super sweet flavors (like cake batter or dulce de leche). It seems that all of them stay in one of those three categories. For that reason, I can understand why others might prefer another store. I really enjoy Fro-Play’s topping selection though. They have a huge assortment and they are always stocked, which is not always the case in other yogurt shops.
This place is always clean and has ample seating. It’s one of the few yogurt places I’ve been to that actually has more than a handful of awkwardly placed tables. You can even play Connect Four at the tables to kill some time or just hang out with your friends. The people working here are always friendly, and never have I had a bad experience here.
I would much rather spend my money at an independent shop like Fro-​Play than give money to a chain shop, so this is definitely my yogurt of choice.
