Friends Yogurt

Nice little local family place, clean and reasonably priced. Nothing better on a hot day.

Horrible customer service. It took exceptionally too long to get a panini. Over 30 minutes. The girl that works there is so rude. I will never go back to this location, which is too bad because we live across the street. I do not recommend going here!

We decided to try this place for lunch based on their rating. We walked into an empty shop and ordered two panini’s around 1:30 on a Sunday. The kid at the counter said he was waiting for his co-​worker to get back, so it may be about a 15 minute wait. No problem.
Fifteen minutes go by and I figure he’s a little behind, so I get some toys out of the car to distract our hungry kids. Still, no problem.
30 minutes: I check on the food. We’re hungry, and probably wouldn’t have ordered if he said «30 minutes or more» in the first place. Still, I’m trying to appease the family and buy him a little more time.
40 minutes: the guy’s co-​worker finally shows, but the girl has a total attitude when we mention how long we’ve been waiting. She tells my wife, «Well, I’m here now» and disappears into the back. I’m now standing at the counter, in an otherwise empty shop, while my wife gets the kids buckled into the car.
45 minutes: Hey, the food’s ready! I try to diplomatically tell the kid, «I know you were alone, but there’s a huge difference between 15 and 45 minutes.» The female immediately jumps in, sounding resoundingly indignant, «45 minutes?! I’ve only been gone about 30 minutes!» Sorry Miss, but that’s not what our receipt says, and the guy said he was waiting for you when we ordered. Minus points for (1) completely lying to cover your long lunch, and (2) for putting the blame on the customer.
As for the kid, I’m sure he was doing the best he could, especially being hung out to dry by his co-​worker; but her, she made a tough situation worse with her attitude.
The yogurt samples we had were pretty good. The food was ok, but not worth that long of a wait. The customer service from that young woman, though, was enough to convince us to pass it up next time.

Fantastic yogurt! The taste is like no other yogurt. The yogurt is not overly sweet like most yogurt shops. There are a large amount of toppings to choose from, even sugar free caramel and chocolate. The employees are very nice and they keep the place spotless. I love frozen yogurt and this is by far the best in San Diego county.

Great selection, always changing the non-​core flavors for a little variety. Go and enjoy!

Their yogurt is very good & they change flavors frequently but in comparison to other yogurt places in town they’re more expensive so that’s something to keep in mind. The staff is very friendly and they have a nice selection of toppings, though.

I really like Friends Yogurt! I work near by so I eat here at least a couple of times per week. Yes, I said eat! Friends has a lot more then just Yogurt. They have Salads made fresh to order. I was a little concerned how good the food would be at a yogurt shop, I have to tell you their salads are the freshest I have ever had and very well balanced.
Friends is also a great Sandwich Shop, they don’t have Sub Sandwiches but their Panini Sandwiches are awesome! Who needs Subway when they’ve got sandwiches this good with in walking distance of my Job. I also have to say that it is one of the cleanest yogurt shops I have ever seen, all of the topping are always well organized and not spilled into each other with plenty of choices. And I can’t forget the staff, they are fun, helpful and most of all Friendly! Great place check it out.

Frozen yogurts is good… but the sandwiches are even better! I come here for the sandwiches more often then the yogurt. The new owners are doing a way better job then the previous ones… for sure!

Absolutely luv this place! Six yogurts for $ 20 ! Prices by weight and has a huge variety of serve yourself topping bar! Staff is friendly and yogurt is delicious!!! Oh the even serve lunch, Paninis and more!

Very friendly service! I came here on a weekend to try their sandwiches. They don’t have a huge selection, but the girl was really nice and my tuna sandwich tasted yummy! They have paninis, wraps, and salads as well.

Friendly service, yogurt is exceptional & the panini’s are delicious! There is a wait for the panini but definitely worth waiting for

Go here probably once a week and can’t get enough, this place is quick and easy, and as the name states this is a place for friends.

Definitely a fan of this place. Dont pay attention to pre-​2013 reviews. This place sucked back then but is legit now. Try it and prove me wrong.

Great taste, especially the vanilla!

Hands down the best yogurt I have ever tasted! If you’re in the mood for desert, head on over to this place and enjoy the best yogurt you’ll ever have. There are flavors I wouldn’t expect to be there and it works!

This is a special place. There’s no hype, no cartoon animals, no brightly colored signs… just a really good frozen yogurt shoppe. That serves really good sandwiches and salads as well. This small little shop is as unassuming as it is good. The frozen yogurt is always good and high quality — with a nice spectrum of flavors. The toppings are fantastic. Just enough to go crazy — but not overwhelming. I love the self service aspect — because I know what I want and how I want it. And the sandwiches and salads — made to order — are definitely worth it. Not the usual fair at a yogurt shoppe — but should be tried. I could see stopping there for lunch and dessert all at once. In short — love this place!

My daughter and I love this place! Very simple, self-​serve — get in, grab your treat and get out. Not a place to hang out unless it’s a sunny day and you chill outside.
The salted carmel pretzel something or other yogurt is hands down the best froyo I’ve had. They’ve got a decent selection of toppings although I really wish they’d add some Resse’s PB cups and perhaps a few more choices would be nice… everything else is spot on.
The price is in line with every other froyo place in the area and the quality & taste of their yogurt supercedes most. I only give them 4 stars because they could improve on their topping selections but the taste of their yogurt almost makes up for it. Almost.

It’s now a self-​serve yogurt shop.
Since it was Sunday & Happy Yogurt is closed on Sundays we found this thanks to my fellow Unilocalers, from whom I was happy to learn that this was not a «self serve» fro-​yo place.
Sadly, upon arrival, we learned that Friends Yogurt has gone «Self Serve».
So…that was an old Unilocal and things change. Sigh. I hate serving myself frozen yogurt, but I also know I’m in the minority.
I got my standard Peanut Butter & Chocolate mix. Not too flavorful, just sweet. Couldn’t have told the peanut butter from the chocolate flavors.
I’m guessing all the flavors kinda taste like all the others, as my husband who is the least picky person I know said his was «bland» & «eh» and said he’d wished he’d gotten more toppings to compensate for the lack of discernable flavors.
The young guy behind the counter wasn’t too friendly, just muttered «put your cup on the scale» when we neglected to. My husband had no idea what he meant & the guy just glared at him.
It’s no «Happy Yogurt» and next time I’ll hold out for theirs. If I’m totally craving frozen yogurt and «Happy» is closed I might come here again, but probably not.

Fro-​yo!
