The Lite Choice

3.5 stars. Cute little fro-​yo place in West Village, pretty much like a Tasti D-​Lite. They have 5 basic flavors and about 20 different syrups (both sweet and fruity) that you can use to mix and match your own flavors. I had the non-​fat yogurt with mango syrup, which they whipped up together to get a decently flavor. My friend had the half-​yogurt and half-​peanut butter yogurt flavor. Everything was fine, but nothing stood out. I wouldn’t come out of my way to go again but if I’m in the mood and passing by one, I would. Fact that you can mix flavors with the syrup warrants the 0.5 star above a Tasti D-​Lite.

We (me and the 9 year old that I work with) stop here after school. It is always the same young girl working alone. WTF They let this poor girl work alone in a store in NYC. Can someone get her an assistant? They only accept cash which is a real PITA. It is pricey ice cream. The best part is following them on twitter and getting their daily specials. Sometimes the specials are crap but other times we get a free topping which pretty much makes me day!

What I ate after Meskerem (see review).
Standard ice cream. A little expensive. I don’t see why a small vanilla w/​chocolate chips cost $ 4.

My wife and I love TLC. They have the best light softserve in the neighborhood. A wafer cone with a pretty good sized amount of frozen yogurt cossts $ 3.50, and you can have more than one flavor.
The best part about TLC is that they have good flavors like caramel fudge and you are encouraged ro sample. They provide little cups to taste, and you basically always leave with a tasty cone with surprisingly few calories.
This TLC is very small and has four flavors. The staff seemed pretty friendly. This location is smaller and less busy than the one on 7^th Avenue near Christopher Street. That location has more flavors but has longer lines.
Grom has amazing Hazelnut gelato. And there is a Pinkberry a few blocks north on 6^th by ¹³⁄₁₄^th Street. I’ve also had some good gelato from Cones on Bleecker Street.

This is one of the smaller hole-​in-​the-​wall locations of The Lite Choice (they only have 2 stools if you didn’t want to eat on the move). Like all TLC locations the «ice cream» for the lack of a better name, is better than Tasti D-​Lite and the portions are much bigger. The prices are a tad high but are absolutely reasonable. The service at this location was friendly and my only issue besides their size was that they were cash only and the closest ATM I could find was about a block away. When you’re looking for ice cream but want a good portion and to stay under 250 calories then look no further than The Lite Choice.
