Yogen Fruz

The frozen yogurt with strawberries and peaches is amazing! I like frozen yogurt on the tart side and it’s not too sweet! I love the service! The people are always friendly.

I bookmarked this place after reading the reviews of how much better this place is than frozen yogurt. It’s super convenient that it’s in the mall so there’s parking and you can walk around tbe explore other places!
I ordered vanilla base with the nectarines and mangos. I love how their frozen fruits look fresh and are displayed so that people can see what they’re eating. The machine and method they use is very similar to Loving Cup in SF where they churn the base with the fruits over and over again until the items harmoniously come together.
The frozen mix looked beautiful, didn’t melt fast at all, had a great consistency, and flavor! It really depends on what you get but I feel like it would have tasted a lot better with more fruits! It’s also not as good as Loving Cup but it’s still pretty good! The small size is also pretty filling for one person.
The staff were sweet people and I would love to come back if I ever visit the mall again! Perfect for a hot summer!

I am a HUGE ice cream/​froyo lover! I’d say I have had most flavors (i’m not usually picky with flavors but I know HIGH quality from LOW quality! not to say low quality isn’t yummy it just can be a lot better in certain places/​brands/​flavors) and carry more ice cream than food in my fridge at times, cold weather? snowing? NOPE I don’t even care if I don’t have a heater during cold days, I will eat ice cream like it is summer even if i’m sick as hell! (YEP, ice cream/​froyo addiction at it’s best!)
I absolutely love Yogen Fruz, my first time having their Froyo was in Mall of American (MOA) in Minnesota a few years ago! Recently discovered there was one nearby and boy was I excited!
Pros:
Consistent flavor!
Fast service
Clean
Good servings!
**Cons people may NOT like:
Pricing — It can get costly, especially if you love to save money but hey it’s not like you’re renting an apartment or buying a new car, no commitment there! Unless you become as addicted as us ice cream/​froyo fanatics ;)
Customer service — (they give you an attitude most of the time, especially this youngish looking white girl with pink hair, but it’s not a big issue since it’s a fast process)
Sour taste — (it isn’t very sweet nor is it very sour but you can DEFINITELY taste it, so if you’re afraid of it being too sour or just don’t want to try it like that maybe just stack up on the toppings, you actually get used to it very fast and I love strongly sweetened froyo/​ice cream)

I thought this was a regular froyo place. I had no idea they mix actual blocks of frozen yogurt and real fruit w/​no added sugar. My kids really liked the real cherries mixed into the yogurt and the watermelon. Also, the guy was saying they have several fruits that are organic which was nice. This is a great place for my kids when I want them to get a HEALTHY no sugar added treat & healthy probiotics from the yogurt!

We visited Yogen Fruz on ³⁄₂₈ Sat. It is in Oakridge mall opposite to Cako cupcake. I love the texture of the frozen yogurt; it is firm and full of real fruit flavor! I personally think this is the real frozen yogurt as many other places serve only ice cream like yogurt. We were surprised that this place isn’t getting much biz. But I love it! We got lychee and strawberry blend together and it tasted divine! Unfortunately it is a bit far from my home, or we will come here more often.

Yogen Fruz is definitely a different sort of experience from the frozen yogurt that I am used to. Typically when you think of frozen yogurt you think of self serve (where you fill as much yogurt and toppings as you want and pay based on the weight of your cup) or the type where you order a flavor and a certain number of toppings at a set price. Yogen Fruz is similar to the latter format, but instead of flavors of yogurt, they actually use standard yogurt flavors (vanilla, chocolate, plain) and blend in frozen fruit into the yogurt to create flavors on the spot. With a standard order, you get to pick two fruits, thus allowing you to create many different flavor combinations. Then, if you want to pay a bit more, you can opt for toppings.
If you’re feeling not so creative that day, you can also choose their preset combinations (similar to Cold Stone’s predesigned ice cream sundaes) which costs about the same as creating your own flavor and getting a topping. I opted for the apple pie one which came with apple blended into the yogurt and graham cracker crumb crust.
Overall, a very interesting experience and I definitely like how it is different than other yogurt places. Of course the yogurt itself was delicious so no complaints there and the price and service were fine as well. Don’t really see these around that much so if I’m in the mall again I will definitely hit up this place again!

Disclaimer (s): My star ratings are primarily skewed towards the freshness/​ingredients of the shakes, smoothies and yogurt only. Attitude, decorum, wait time, etc. will minimally factor into the equation unless in the rare instance of an absolutely atrocious experience.
A+: Avocado Kale, Peace Berry Sunset, Strawberry Banana (yum!) and the Tropical Storm smoothie especially. Chai Latte, Cookies N’ Cream, Blackberry and Lychee yogurt are exceptional.
Above Average: Nothing is just «above average» here. This is my all-​time and new favorite go-​to shake, smoothie place and yogurt escape. When I’m not home this is *the only* choice. Jamba Juice wishes to aspire to such unbelievable organic quality.
Atmosphere: Great indoor seating inside the Oakridge Mall since it’s next to the kiddie playground court area; also a major drawback is the out of control kid echo screams reverberating in domino effects within the walls. Very spacious inside and good for private conversations as the kiddie vocals will drown any potential eavesdroppers. Families, couples, girlfriends and singles are most common day or night. Kids and their parents are shockingly well behaved at this establishment despite the 21^st century «any place in public is our playground» norm attitude. Crazy not~on~a~leash kids do not break the decibel level or adult vibe unless at the playground nearby. The noise level fluctuates drastically with the random outbursts from kids at the playground across from this establishment. No T.V.‘s anywhere so you can really absorb shake/​smoothie/​yogurt experience. Crowd generally not anti-​social and people are usually in a decent mood. May not be acceptable for reading and smartphone escapism as well. Dress code is like the environment: capital C for casual. Architecture is very minimal and modern white; feels like walking into any Apple store for comparison. Fancy artwork is absent. The bar, pickup/​delivery area and floor are extremely well kept and the majority of the tables are clean. Seats are just okay on the comfort factor. Cannot recall if there is background music accompaniment.
Bonus: Groupon purchased September 2014 = $ 25 for five Groupons, each good for $ 10 worth of frozen yogurt, smoothies, and milkshakes ($ 50 value). Massively fantastic value as the Groupon allowed FIVE vouchers. #CheckGrouponFirst
Price: Shakes/​Smoothies/​Yogurt are 100% justified to their expensive price points. This is the only place that compares to my homemade shakes & smoothies I make. Since the menu is more expensive than Jamba Juice or Pinkberry combined, this luckily filters out most trailer trash clientele thankfully. As far as an analogy goes, this is the Pete’s Coffee of shakes, smoothies, and yogurt quality.
Service: Dine-​in fast, friendly & helpful in explaining the menu. Employees are chill, nice, professional and welcoming. Dan makes excellent top notch customized recommendations. Ignore any below 5-​star customer reviews for they are false! This destination is worth the wait for whenever you have shake, smoothie or yogurt cravings. Staff seems to understand that in order for a perfect shake, smoothie or yogurt… you must use the finest ingredients possible. This place is never jam packed even during peak hours.
Sub-​par: Not applicable.
Verdict :
If this company had not advertised on Groupon, I would never have tried them in the first place. Ask the staff (request «Dan“and you will not be disappointed!) behind the counter to personalize any particular shake, smoothie or yogurt to their specifications. I’ve followed Dan’s revisions on all the menu templates and every time I almost fell asleep in the mall during consumption. I shall return to savor future flavors with or without a Groupon. The taste and texture make this *the première place* for premium shakes, smoothies and yogurt with unmatched perfection. Flawlessly phenomenal taste!

I went here the other day with my boyfriend to try the pumpkin spice yogurt since it’s in season. The lady working said she couldn’t take credit card since it wasnt working but she said she can try to get the register back up if we wanted to wait. We waited and she said it was working! Yay, didnt have to go get cash from the ATM. 5 stars for her efforts. After that, she asked what I wanted I said I want a small pumpkin spice and she took out some chunks of frozen pumpkin and made the frozen yogurt super fresh with a machine. It tasted like pumpkin cheesecake to me and it was super yummy. Great customer service and great yogurt! I will definitely be coming back here!

Fresh, delicious yogurt!
Instead of yogurt that’s been sitting for who knows how long squeezing out of a machine, this place makes it to order right in front of your eyes!
Pick your flavor from a variety of fruits from lychee to mango to strawberry! They’ll mix your fruit of choice (or cookie or coffee if you’re going that way) with your choice of yogurt (vanilla, sugar free vanilla or chocolate) in their unique machine in a few seconds! They also have a nice variety of toppings to choose from. And they can mix your froyo into a shake if you like.
I love their match green tea lychee! And their cookies and cream mixes are pretty tasty!
The yogurt here tastes like none other! Super fresh and amazing! A definite must try!

Bruh.
Self serve yogurt ain’t got SHT on this place. This place will sht bricks on any other yogurt place. I’m serious. Their yogurt mix isn’t pre-​made. They make your yogurt with whatever frozen fruit you want and it blends in this machine that makes it look like it’s shtting bricks when it comes out. The texture is insane and the flavor is bomb dot com. I always get the mango one. Just mango. No toppings. Nada. It’s so good I can’t handle it. Mind you I always get this flavor and I never get tired of it.
The only complaints I have about this place is that it seems like there’s only one worker working the joint. Like what happens if for some reason hella people decide to read this review and decide that they want mango yogurt and then like 20 people show up there? There can’t be one girl working cashier while working the yogurt machine too. That ain’t cool. The price for toppings is a little up there too, but it’s all good. Just don’t get it. You don’t need any.
LAST COMPLAINT: EXPAND YOUR BUSINESS DAMNIT. I have to keep driving 15 minutes to get some yogurt from you guys man. I spend more money driving there than buying the yogurt. The hell is that.
But all in all, this will forever be my favorite yogurt place. YAAAAS YOGEN YAAAAS

I don’t know whether I was more surprised that it’s been over 3 years since my last visit, or that this place is actually still open. I should have been able to figure out a way to spend the remaining balance of my outdated gift card sooner, if not only because I had to jump through several hoops to get it done today. It’s still possible through web site registration and transferring the balance to the payment/​rewards/​locator/​promotions app.
This time, I decided to grab a smoothie so that I could consume my free treat on the go. I revisited the green tea lychee flavor that I had had a history with. In smoothie form, those flavors are combined with their probiotic-​containing yogurt and apple juice.
The dominating flavor in the smoothie was definitely lychee. I caught a clear taste of the matcha green tea in the first sip, but it was simply overpowered after that point. The apple juice is definitely discernable, and I enjoyed tasting the lychee, but I would have definitely enjoyed more green tea flavor. My biggest issue is still the price. Gift cards aside, I can get tastier, more plentiful things than a medium smoothie (16 fl oz at most) for $ 4.95. I suppose the probiotics gimmick justifies it, but I don’t really care for it (unless somehow I get a nasty gastrointestinal infection while I’m in the area).
I was surprised to read later that they boast over 1300 stores in 42 countries. Yogen Fruz is not for me, but given the ever-​present health-​conscious segments of the population, I think there’s definitely a niche for them in California and in states where they don’t already have a store.

My kids love this place, hands down one of my favorite yogurt spots. They have a variety of combinations to choose from. The yogurt blends are a must try and their toppings are all fresh. I come here often during the summer, it’s located right in front of the children’s play area so it’s very convenient for me.
The key lime pie and mint chocolate chip are my favorties. I also love the simple classic tart with fresh toppings. I definitely want to come back and try the smoothies, especially with summer coming up again.

I love this place. I never get the smoothie (thry just look so small for their price)
You can easily pay for 6.25 for a medium yogurt, if yoy add a topping, but when I dont wanna splurge on money and get thr bare minimum. Ill get a medium yogurt with two blend in fruitds, which is 4.50. So that one topping is 1.75 o.o. ill do without. Most of the time ill get blackberry (blackberries have seeds and I dont mind them) and strawberries. The strawberries are sweet: D
The service is minimal so nothing to say for it.

I love the Taro and tart flavors! I always put hella mochi and almonds in it! Service here is good as well!

They can do fruit yogurts blend, not for concentrated or powdered flavor, but from actual fresh fruits! Love all the fresh and organic fruits are serving here.
Service is always good. Reasonable price, 1 of my FAV frozen yogurt spots in the South Bay. I always stop by here when shopping at this mall, a perfect spot for shopping break on a hot day.

While strolling through the Oakridge Mall, it was love at first sight when we stumbled upon this Über cool concept in the over saturated froyo chain market. Even though their guilty of overusing the umlaut, I’ll give ‘em a pass since they’re so damned good!
Well perhaps it was not first sight since we were both a bit confused how to place our order since it’s not self-​serve and there weren’t any labels on the machine behind the counter. Once the gentleman at the counter informed us that almost all of their flavors can be made dairy free, we were quite intrigued. They are able to accomplish this since they have a single sorbet base that they toss into their magic contraption with your fresh fruit flavor of choice. Once it’s done doing it’s thing, out swirls some of the finest dairy-​free froyo in all the land.
We finally settled on a strawberry-​banana combo. This is seriously the creamiest sorbet you’ll ever try! Almost to the point I was worried it wasn’t Vegan. Checking the ingredients on their website, everything looks to be on the up ‘n up.
It doesn’t appear they charge by weight as most shops do. Instead they just charge by the size. How very old fashioned of them… It’s the same with toppings as well. You either pay for the size of your choice topped or naked. Their froyo is so incredibly creamy & flavorful, you really don’t need any toppings at all. If you do opt for the toppings, you’ll be pleasantly pleased with how fresh everything tastes. Their mochi has the best flavor and texture out of any of the other places I’ve been to. It all appeared to be fresh and not sitting out for days on end waiting for some sucker to scoop it up.
Since it’s not self serve, they’ll probably scare off a lot of customers who are used to pulling the handle themselves to dispense their own froyo. However if you stick around to try it out, you just might be as enamored with the concept as I am.
This girl loves her FroSo fo’ sho!

Went to Westfield mall just to look for some froyo. The mall map showed us that this establishment is right across Sear’s store so we went there to try it out. We’re an orange tree fan but we were willing to try new stuff.
The name cant be mistaken for something else. Sure its a nice twist to call a frozen yogurt but how is it different from the others?
This store lets you choose your flavor, gets the flavor packets and places it to the machine to mix with the base yogurt. problem is… you cant sample the yogurt itself without having to order it, so if your not a fan of tangy yogurt you might not be happy with your choice of froyo.
You can have up to 3 toppings in your froyo. I got the cheesecake froyo with mochi and strawberry… and I love it! There were chunks of cheese in there and the salty sweet graham crackers and the mochi blended well together. The chopped strawberry was the healthy mix in my cup.
So why 3 stars? It’s because the small is too small for 3 bucks, the yogurt could have been a tad blended more… there was ice crystals mixed in so we were thinking it been sitting for a long time… and inability to sample the flavors before ordering is a bummer.

Froyo = Frozen Yogurt
FroSo (my new word) = Frozen Sorbetto
Where have you been all my life? This is by far the best FroSo I’ve ever tasted. It was creamy, sweet and tasty.
Being vegan it is very difficult to find Froyo without dairy. Most places only carry one flavor but with Yogen Fruz the choices are limitless.
Why limitless you may ask? Basically the base is the same. According to the employee or possibly owner, the base is made of sorbetto. They also offer a yogurt version for those who love dairy. The first step is to pick your fruit. You can choose one type of fruit or mix and match. Once you’ve made your decision (we picked strawberries & bananas) the magic begins. It’s put in a machine. Mixed with the base and VOILA!!! masterpiece of heavenly goodness.
Just a note for vegans and lactose intolerant all the flavors on the standard menu are non dairy except for Tart, Chocolate & Vanilla.
You can add as much topping as you want but it costs an additional $ 1.20 (small). It’s really not needed because it’s great by itself and there is not a lot of room to add toppings, so your kinda short changing yourself.
The only complaint I have is that I didn’t get a larger size. Small at $ 3.25 is just not enough. With that said if you live in the Bay Area you can check out their two locations in SF, North Bay people head to Novato, South Bay you have this location and Santa Clara. If you’re in Sacramento… you are out of luck, they haven’t hit your area yet.

I love frozen yogurt!
Yogen Fruz takes frozen yogurt to a whole other level.
Their green tea frozen yogurt with mochi is amazing.
It is really creamy, and has the perfect amount of green tea flavor

I’ve been coming to Yogen Fruz ever since it opened in Oakridge Mall. Service has always been fast and friendly. I love their frozen yogurt– its creamy and just plain delicious. My favorite flavor is the green tea (now they offer green tea with lychee).
Noelle’s Notes
A great place for a sweet treat on a hot day :)
