VS Berry

This place is disgusting compared to when it first opened. I literally don’t understand how this place got an A rating from NYC inspectors if the the minute that I walk into the store there are about 20 flies flying around, there’s mold on the walls and there are moth cocoons on the ceiling right above the yogurt machines. Their lounge chairs are disgustingly dirty and stained. This place is filthy and it’s a shame that obviously all the owner wants is to make money and not invest some of its profits in maintaining its facility. I also don’t understand how can they sell open pops without covering it with wrappers. Yuck.

When I’m craving frozen yogurt and don’t feel like leaving my apt, this is the only available place to order from on Seamless. So I’ve had a bunch of experiences with them. Only the first two were satisfactory. Every order since has taken at least 1.5 hours, even though I’m always quoted 40−50min.
One time, after an hour had gone by, I finally got a call from the store saying that the coconut fro-​yo had gone bad and asking if I would like to make another selection. Knowing that if I changed my order it would have taken over an hour to get here on top of the hour I had already waited, I just cancelled it. But seriously, it took an hour to let me know that something was wrong with my order?
Maybe this place is better if you go in person, but be prepared to hang out for A WHILE if you want it delivered.

I visited VS BERRY today to place an order for 6 people. Before I ordered I really had to use the restroom and asked the cashier if she could permit Me to go. She stated that the restroom is not working. As an establishment that sits 12 – 15 people how do you not have a working restroom. Additionally, how can an employer have an employee work 7 hours with no working bathroom the cashier told us «I call my boss every time, when I have to go». My brother in law even asked her if he can confirm (as she clearly lacks skills in Lying) and she goes oh oh no no you can’t. This is clearly the last time I visit VS Berry. The walk down to Go Greenly will be well worth it. The yogurt is better quality either ways. VS Berry is clearly not a community establishment.

No longer in business. CLOSED
Establishment went out of business due to lack of patrons

i love the interior design, It has a fun exciting vibe. Great place for young people to hang out after school. quality of the yogurt was not too great but, i love the large sections o toppings.

I like the product and I go there very often as I live next door BUT I’ll have to say that the prices are a bit high for a little bit of yoghurt and a few pieces of candy adding up to a total of $ 5.75 I find it a little ridiculous and expansive where I can get the same thing at any other yoghurt place for a dollar less.
not sure if I’ll keep going there that often, I feel their prices went up… can’t afford it anymore:(

Frozen yogurt in Inwood Manhattan with a modern polka dot theme of flashing multi bright colors, countertops and unique swing pod chairs hung from ceiling hooks with excessive loud music to catch your attention. VS Berry caught my attention for some yogurt but did not sway my input for five Unilocal stars of this review. Most of the cashiers or servers are students with very minimal higher education and/​or working experience ergo, the lack of communication skills and poor customer service skills. Since it was my first time here I needed to be aware of the surroundings and how the «self-​serve» works while a server interjected «Do you want some candy to go?» I was blatantly direct with «just looking» as my standard retail response.
VS Berry contains all the standard frozen yogurt flavors: vanilla, strawberry, mango, etc. which I only care for my two standard flavors: vanilla and strawberry and fresh strawberries as my default topping. I filled my cup to 3.20 oz. with very minimal vanilla yogurt and four pieces of fresh strawberries as there were no more strawberries remaining totaling $ 1.57 (1 oz. = $.49). VS Berry is a kid friendly atmosphere as children will be running a monk with excitement of their swing pod chairs. My head was in excruciating throbbing pain from the excessive loud club music, which is not child friendly. I always prefer quiet places for my health and the clarity for audibility for an in-​depth conversation.
VS Berry conveniently sits at the foot of A train 207^th Street (last stop in Inwood).

The yogurt is okay.

I’ve been here a couple times and the yogurt reminds me of TCBY from when I was a kid in Massachusetts. It does melt fast and if you are like me and prefer Pinkberry, you won’t be thrilled with it (flip side: a cup with toppings will run you $ 3.50…and at Pinkberry it would easily be $ 7 or $ 8).
However, it is a great spot to bring kids and I think the interior is super fun. They got an extra star because of the «mood spoons» which are heat-​sensitive. Apparently I like shops that bring me back to the 90’s :)

Not like other yogurt bars I’ve been to, the workers were a little more hands on than I’m used to. Maybe because people abuse the sample opportunity or something. Would return but would probably check out the other yogurt place across the way first.

Cute place wt pop decoration and good music. Feels like you are in a club. Very friendly service.
Didn‘t like the tart (regular) frozen yogurt, though. Too sour compared to frozen yogurt from other (chain) stores. Also, seems like they use low-​quality ingredients.

Something different and nice for a change. My favorite part of the store is the candy section, where you can take a bag and fill it up with goodies to take home. As for the yogurt, I’m not really a fan of the flavors or the texture. I got the yogurt chips and white chocolate chips in mine and felt like I was chewing FOREVER which was SO annoying, but the other toppings were ok. I wouldn’t be back for the yogurt but if I’m around the area again I’d stop for some candy.
I really give them props for trying because the décor is cute, and overall it’s a fun concept. It’s a quick alternative if you don’t want to go downtown, however, I personally rather take the trip to 112^th and get Pinkberry.

I don’t understand what the problem is! This place is awesome! I guess it’s different strokes for different folks…
Anyway, they have a bunch of toppings that you can use, a little overwhelming with the amount of toppings they have, but hey, they’re trying (I’m guessing) to please all customers. They pleased me!
I only tasted the tart flavor, but that’s just me in any froyo place. My cousin has tried their other flavors and he said they weren’t that good. In my opinion, the tart was really tasty.
The place is still fairly new guys – give them a break.
Overall, MY experience was amazing. Loved it.

Low quality ingredients, over sweetened «yogurt». What a shame that such a high traffic corner is wasted on such a bad execution of what could be the best frozen yogurt establishment in the area.
Factors like good location, a subway entrance right in its doorsteps, high concentration of children (their main demographic), an elementary school just one block away, and the” cool factor «of the product category, are inexplicably not taken advantage of by this business. Not to mention that those going to Grandpa’s pizzeria, located literally two doors down, could spillover to enjoy some frozen yogurt after eating a pizza and are not doing so, shows the lack of attention to customer acquisition basics. In fact they seem to be working a little hard on driving customers away as evidenced by their «policy» of not letting people use the space as a gathering place for those who want to meet there to enjoy some frozen yogurt. If you walk inside to wait for somebody before having some frozen fare, you’ll be told that the space is only for «customers». Go figure!
I’d be surprised if this place is still open by this time this year.

It’s like eating frozen yogurt inside a dance dance revolution machine. No wait — inside a bubble swing on a chain inside a dance dance revolution machine.
There’s a guy there to help you decide which toppings. It’s a self-​service scoop deal like a candy store, but for some reason there’s a pushy clothing store attendant who gets paid to serve as your guide.
There’s something about cheery people giving me the hard sell on something I already want to buy. Maybe cuz it makes me that much more aware that I can’t actually afford this, shouldn’t actually eat this cuz I can’t really digest dairy. I already feel ridiculous getting this overpriced sorta kinda mediocre dessert, let’s not make a thing about it, all right? I mean — it’s set up like a surreal store for kids, but then I guess for adults? Like a club? They used to keep the lights really low but then no one knew what they were putting on their froyo.
I kinda like how it’s by weight and not by topping. But isn’t it kinda weird to pay more for some strawberries though than m&ms? Maybe there’s no right way.
They have a thing where if you buy $ 50 worth of froyo you get something. Which is probably awesome if you have like, a family, but when it’s just you it’s one of the more depressing goals to pursue.

Frozen yogurt is a great addition to the ‘hood! Young and friendly teens work here so the service is great. However…
the froyo is lacking. I found the flavors to be kind of bland. Even the cookies n cream was a little lackluster. I also thought it was weird that my frozen yogurt was melting quicker than normal.
I think I will try them again in the future to see if anything has changed.

I’m so confused… and why is the frozen yogurt barely frozen? The place is small and cute and the employees are all really friendly. The managers hired some really great kids to work the counters and I LOVE that so I know I will be checking in again to see how the place progresses.
However, the flavors are very limited and the toppings are extremly hard to get to. Most of them have to be retrieved by an employee and I don’t like people seeing how many sprinkles I use so this is a big draw back for me. Also the toppings seem pretty stale and the toppings don’t really go with frozen yogurt. lots of gummies.

You can’t really go wrong with frozen yogurt. Although this yogurt is OK it’s just normal frozen yogurt. I had the chocolate and it was not so chocolaty.
But, I think they could do a better job organizing the way they serve it. Having the candy or dry toppings right next to the door is a little bit problematic because when you come in the store you have to get around the people standing at the candy bins. Also, having to get help to put cold toppings (like coconut flakes or berries) on slows things down. I don’t know why it’s OK for customers to put the dry toppings on themselves but not the cold toppings.
They make coffee and hot tea and things like that. But if you’re in line behind someone who is getting their hot tea made by the customer service person, your yogurt is melting while you wait to pay.
The location is great for people who live in the neighborhood.

The décor is super cute and trendy and kid friendly. Love the music. It’s small but it’s happy. They have a small candy bar which is the perfect size, the frozen yogurt options are good, but the flavors are light… meaning vanilla tastes like red velvet and vice versa. Good news: you can put toppings and that boosts up the flavor. The clear swinging chairs are so cute as well.

It’s ok. Great addition to the neighborhood. Lots of flavor options and a very pleasant and professional staff.
The decoration in the place is kinda funny, almost looks like a kids store. More like a «you go in there to design your own doll» kinda deco.
The yogurt? Well, I think it’s kinda Meh.
