32 Below

It isn’t as well known as some of the other named brand Frozen Yogurt spots, but if you want great flavors, no lines, and reasonable prices. this is your jam. I’ll admit it isn’t the sexiest or brightest spot in DC, but I think they have the best flavor selection hands down. The place is always clean and the service is always great. If you are in the Eastern Market area and are craving yogurt, stop by and grab some Island Coconut! Also. use the layer technique people. layer of toppings, layer of yogurt, layer of toppings, layer of yogurt etc…

This may be the best frozen yogurt I’ve ever had. Living nearby, I’ve become a regular.
The flavor of the yogurt itself is just so good. For example, I had their tart flavor when the vanilla machine wasn’t cool enough, and loved it. I tried tart at a place near my office and hated it. My favorite is pistachio by far, but any kind I’ve tried has been delicious. (I mixed my pistachio with Oreo today.) I also love the selection of toppings. There is no better topping than Reeces Pieces on froyo, and they have them (as well as Reeces Cups and bunch of other things).
Does strike me as a little pricey, or maybe I’m just a pig.

The store advertised 8 flavors, but when I walked in, one machine was broken so there were only 6. Pistachio, vanilla, thin mint, coconut, chocolate delight and cookies and cream. At 49 cents an ounce, I made sure not to get too much for fear of running up the bill. I got coconut and vanilla and typed it with sliced almonds, strawberries and mochi. Their pineapple had a brown tint to it. The froyo was lacking in flavor. And while they had a pretty good selection of toppings, it wasn’t enough to make up for their lack of décor and style or their prices or the lackluster flavors.

Great stuff! The yogurt is yummy, and there are plenty of toppings to enjoy. The space feels a little bit like a waste — it’s sooooo open and empty in there, but I guess I wasn’t stopping in for ambiance — just for a treat! And I got it.

I really only go here on Monday nights — it’s a way to motivate myself to go swimming beforehand. The place is always clean and well-​lit. The guy here has come to recognize my friend & I and is super nice. He even lets us stay to finish chatting after he’s closed. Great, great service!
There are many selections of yogurt as well — and they span from your typical vanilla or chocolate to more exciting flavors. I think they change them up once a month or so and every flavor I’ve tried has been totally delicious.
They have a large variety of toppings as well — chocolate candies, fruits, sprinkles, and syrups. My sole gripe is that somehow some of the chocolates get too hot & get a little melty. Otherwise, a great froyo experience!

I love frozen yogurt so much. I’ve tried it from a number of places, and I was simply disappointed with their original tart here. Plus is that they have the free handles where you can get as much as you want and you pay by the ounze. I definitely prefer that over Pinkberry’s model. Their original is lackluster and they don’t have much choices for toppings. There’s definitely some room for improvement.
No carob chips?! No way.

This low rating is about amenities, not the yogurt itself. I am very happy to have a frozen yogurt place within walking distance of my home and visit it often, however…
last time I was there I asked if I could have a small cup of ice water. I was told I could either buy a plastic bottle or get a yogurt cup and fill it with water from the sink! YIKES!
I did the latter and the water was warm and yellow! First, I am thinking how hard is it to install a water container and cups for customers… Second, one wonders… why is the water yellow? AND is that the water used to make the fro-​yo?
That was a huge turn off… Seems like a no brainer to install some fresh water as most ice-​cream and yogurt vendors do…

Great local froyo place. Can’t live without one. Their topping bar has the necessary fruity pebbles & fresh fruit (including blackberries… my FAV!) for me to enjoy with my froyo selection.
They always have an interesting flavor selection of yogurt with good old fashioned choices for the unadventurous too. The price of 45 cents/​oz is right in line with other FroYo places I have been.
Why only 4 stars? Because I used to frequent a shop in Raleigh, NC that had the smoothest froyo in the world. While 32 Below is good… absolutely no froyo shop holds a candle to Sweet CeCes. :)

MUST TRY!
My room mate and her boyfriend frequent this place AT LEAST 3times a week. They love it, I love it, the American people love it! It’s never too crowded, you get lots of yogurt options like, classic vanilla and chocolate to pumpkin, birthday cake and red velvet.
There have to be roughly 20 – 25 toppings you can throw on there and it runs just about $ 5 or $ 6 unless you are a HUGE BRO and then maybe yours could be more if you really fill it up (they charge by the weight).
Love this place and the ONLY negative is… NO WIFI. I feel like to keep up their business during the colder months they should totally offer that as an option to get people in and staying a little longer.

48 cents per ounce.
I tried pretty much everything. The grapefruit was probably my favorite. Not a lot of topping to choose from but still a good amount. Few seats but people move in and out pretty quickly.

I like 32 Below overall. Great flavors, great toppings, friendly and inviting staff. Glad that they are in the Barrack’s Row neighborhood and I like to stop in occasionally on my walks.
However, I think it’s a more expensive than other places. I scratch my head that my fro-​yo comes to the same price as ice cream/​frozen yogurt at National’s ballpark.

Frozen yogurt is all the rage now and 32 Below is one of the best places I’ve been. Good flavors, free samples (which they almost insist on), great toppings, and very nice service.
I love the Irish Mint, and my boyfriend swears by Cake Batter!

What tells me this place is good is that it’s the only yogurt joint I care about coming back to — mainly because I’ve only had a small taste of the cookies and cream (we went just for the kids at 5pm and I didn’t want to spoil my dinner at Cava Mezze with a whole cup of yogurt, can you blame me?)
Unfortunately, that was a month ago and I’ve been back at least 5 times since, never meeting again with cookies and cream.
Now fortunately, cake batter is a reasonable substitute. If you’re looking for something tangy, try the blueberry or tart (my five-​year-​old nephew had me literally fill an entire cup for him of this combo and shockingly ATE THE WHOLE THING. Without a single pucker. And we covered it in Nerds.) I even liked the white chocolate macadamia (though it tastes like neither) and the Irish mint or some such. I don’t typically like mint-​flavored delectables but this was palatable.
The chocolate is far too rich (bitter?) a chocolate for my liking but the vanilla is smooth and pleasant. The dulce de leche has been a huge hit with every person I’ve ever walked into the place with but it’s a bit too serious for me.
I’d already placed it above other DC yogurt venues. I became completely sure 32 below rocks this weekend when I tried a yogurt spot in Chapel Hill with the same fill-​your-​own policy, and 32’s blew the flavors out of the water.

I think there are a lot of places like this in DC, but this is the only one that left an impression on me. You are handed free sample cups when you walk in to try the different kinds of frozen yogurt for free.
I had the cookies and cream which was amazing. It was next to the cake batter flavor, and the two could have been mixed if I wanted it. The toppings table turned me into a kid at a candy store with such toppings as brownie bites, cookie dough bites, fruit toppings, graham crackers, and sugary cereals.
The best thing about this place is that the price is determined by weight. So if you just need something to soothe your sweet tooth and don’t want to spend too much money, this is the place to be!

I love this place… you can work the system with the samples… LOL…Just joking, maybe :)
Who doesn’t love healthy, fair priced treats! I love it, fresh and refreshing.
I could do without the annoying teenage staff. A bit unprofessional, too.
That loses them a star.

From what I’ve seen at yogurt places it’s usually tart or sweet but not both… finally here’s a place that you can get both options depending on your mood! Love that you can sample before trying without having to ask for each one.
PS — the peanut butter was delish!

This place is no frills which I love about it. You can finally walk into a yogurt place that’s all about the yogurt and not about the design of the store or the consistent theme on their 20 chain locations. Definitely try the peanut butter and chocolate that is out of this world. The peanut butter tasted exactly like real peanut butter and the chocolate was smooth and creamy like it should be. Finally, the prices were much more reasonable than the yogurt chains in the area. Approximately 3 dollars for more than half a cup of yogurt.

I live really close and work even closer to 32 Below. Whenever I need a sweet pick me up I choose 32 Below for my afternoon treat. They rotate and bring in flavors all the time, and the new flavors always end up being my favorite. I’m usually a big fan of the tart flavors, but they are a little too tart here. Good thing they have 8 different flavors and let you sample all of them on your own (the best part!). They have a great assortment of toppings: cereal, candy, fruit, MOCHI!, sauces and sprinkles. And the price is never too outrageous. It does help that coworkers have bought me gift cards to this place!

Loved the flavor in the gingerbread froyo I got this evening. Mixed in a small bit of plain tart, and some graham cracker dust. Delicious! And also cheap, which is a plus.
What’s with froyo joint staffers always disappearing into back rooms and not sitting at the counter all the time? I guess it gets boring at froyo places during the cold season…
Also, the machine the gingerbread was in was dripping a little bit, got that all over my hand…

Yet another fro-​yo self-​serve. I like that the nutritional info is on display over the dispensers. I don’t know that I’d ever do their flavor blend pumps, some of the pairings look to be more out of convenience than complement. Flavors seem to get rotated through the sets of 6 – 8 fairly regularly. Skipped the vanilla/​chocolate since there were fun flavors to try. Apple pie tasted legit. Blueberry açaí was a little low on sweetness for me, carrot cake too mild, and cookies & cream too sweet. I got pumpkin the first week we visited but the next batch I sampled was less sweet so I blended in the less aesthetic gingerbread.
Toppings bar is nice, I’m not a cereal girl so can’t speak to that. I also opted out on the three syrup pumps. Dried coconut was okay, gummy bears were sized small but not stale. Berries were good enough considering the season. Cookie dough was skippable, not terrible but meh. Mochi was commendable, I wish it had been more glutinous but that’s personal preference and I’d still mochi it up here again. Foursquare check-​in offer is worth inspecting, 10% off.
