Yogi Castle

I loved this place!!! I’m a big fan of just plain tart and then loading up on fruit, mochi, something crunchy (granola usually) and something chocolate. Their tart/​taro twist was delicious. Not too tart and not too sweet. They had a great selection of FRESH fruit, cookies, brownies, mochi, Oreos, various cereals and chocolate shavings which I had not seen in a froyo place before. Definitely go here!

This Yogi Castle isn’t quite as good as the Hyattsville location. They are very limited on flavors and the topping presentation didn’t appear quite as fresh or expansive as the Hyattsville location one either. It’s self-​serve, froyo by the pound. If you’re in the north side of Dupont and aren’t in the mood for /​don’t want to spring for Dolcezza gelato, than this is a decent choice. It won’t wow you but it will tide over your appetite for a cold, sweet treat.

Look it is about 100 degrees outside. I spit and it evaporated before it hit the ground. I am not even sure how this is possible considering that the humidity is like 99%.
On top of that I was asked to move a bunch of heavy stuff for work and being the team player I am I said yes. I needed refreshment in the worst kind of way.
Enter Yogi Castle! This place helped satisfy my need for a cold treat on this horribly hot and humid day. I had three flavors without all the crazy toppings and they were great. Low Fat Chocolate, Low Fat Turtle, and Low Fat Cheesecake all tasted great. I could not tell the difference between them and ice cream.
The price for 10 ounces was about 6 dollars so this is not a cheap place by any means, but if you really need it than this place is great.

I love a good yogurt place and can be picky about them. I have seen a better yogurt selection, but it does the trick with about 10 different choices. The fresh fruit was exactly that, fresh! It was also cut up small enough for a bite size pieces which I appreciate. Clean and looked like the toppings were freshly stocked. I would definitely go back!

I have lived in the area since January and went here for the first time. I was going to pick up a box of Popsicles at CVS until I came across Yogi Castle and thought, «Screw CVS, I’m going HERE!» Strawberry lemonade sorbet + berries + cookie dough + cookies + chocolate covered pretzels = AMAAAZZING!!! The price was reasonable for the amount I got was reasonable. I’ll definitely be back as the weather gets hot and I want to satisfy my need for a cold, sweet treat

I go here a lot. Like, it’s real bad for me.
Anyhow, the yogurt is decent. There is often an option for milk-​free/​dairy free yogurt as well. It’s less tangy than I prefer but it’s still good enough for me to eat it 2 – 3 times a week.
The toppings are pretty diverse & there are a lot. I’m only sad that whipped topping is a rare choice. They’ve got fruit, candies, caramel/​hot fudge, & more on a regular basis.
Also, tubs for froyo are huge. Beware or you could spend a LOT. And froyo comes out at different speeds, seemingly at random.
Atmosphere is good, shakes are good. Haven’t tried the pies.

Always my go to spot for dessert after eating dinner. Cookies and Cream is my favorite. The addition of yogurt shakes and pies has led me stop by more frequently.

Randomly found this frozen yogurt place while looking for another froyo place.
I got the pistachio and strawberry flavors with some kiwi/​strawberry toppings, while my friend got coconut, strawberry and one other. Really liked coconut flavor with mochi mixed into it.
I noticed that the toppings here did not taste or look as fresh as other places, such as frozenyo. Prices are about the same as other fro yo places ($ 4 – 6 for half full container). 3 star rating mainly because of this.
11÷11÷12

This frozen yogurt and topping options are good. My only real complaint is that when I asked for the tiny cups to taste a couple flavors before beginning my yogurt-​piling adventure, the worker gave me one taster cup. One. A little weird. Overall all, decent yogurt though.

Took away a star because they took away my top two yogurts! :(
You’re still my favorite though…

Wow did they have good frozen yogurt! The selection was huge, the service was awesome, and the taste was creamy and smooth. They had a wide selection of flavors including cake batter, red velvet, mango peach, sorbets, taro, cheesecake, coconut, mint, vanilla, chocolate, and more. The flavors are vast and the yogurt really does does exceptionally delicious. Also they have a lot of toppings and a clean restaurant.

The taste of the yogurt leaves just a little something to be desired, but the toppings bar is superb. Unlike FrozenYo, you have to pay for the sauce, and you have to apply any sauce prior to weighing. They also have sorbet, which is very good. They give you a free water if you spend over 5 dollars.

I really can’t speak to the quality of the fro-​yo here but I was THRILLED to find Taro flavored yogurt. I can’t tell you how many yogurt places I go into to see if they have Taro. This one did. i was very excited and will be back until I find a better place that also has Taro.

Taro alone is enough to make me a fan. Most Frozen Yogurt places don’t have this flavor and it happens to be my favorite. Outdoor seating is very limited, but if you are lucky enough to have a seat, you may get to witness some epic parallel parking attempts.

I liked my frozen yogurt from Yogi Castle enough. It wasn’t spectacular, but it did satisfy my sweet tooth!
The Sweet Coconut was delicious. I would definitely get this flavor again. But the new flavor, Pumpkin Cheesecake, left something to be desired. There was a hint of pumpkin in the yogurt, but it seemed to have more of a mulling spice flavor to me. Also, I had a weird feeling that I was eating a candle? Not sure why, but the feeling stuck with me and all I could think about as I ate the Pumpkin Cheesecake was that I was biting into a pumpkin spiced yankee candle. Also, no cheesecake flavor. Though, I’ve found this is a hard flavor to replicate in basically anything that’s not the real deal.
The real star of Yogi Castle are their toppings. Specifically, the mini raspberry filled dark chocolate cups. Those were AWESOME. Easily the best part of this frozen yogurt cup!

Not the best froyo I’ve tried; the consistency is too watery for my taste.
I sampled the pink grapefruit (grapefruit is my favorite fruit but this was not good), taro (passable), cookies and cream (meh), and euro tart (plain).
They have improved their selection of toppings: lots of fruits, marshmallows, candies, cookies, mochi, cereals, granola, whipped cream, syrups, fruit jellies, etc.
In sum: nothing spectacular. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, but I would stop by if I were around.

I think their cake batter fro yo is better than I have seen elsewhere. This latest fad just doesn’t thrill me so I am not going to give it 4 stars. I am not really a fan of overpriced thinned out whatever it is with toppings that make it so my little cup barely filled with anything costs me $ 5. I prefer the cupcake craze. Or the macaron mania. Or heck, even the ice cream sandwiched by a donut thing going on in NYC now.
They do accept credit cards but they ask that people pay cash if possible. I guess those credit card fees are cutting into their huge profit margin?

Pull-​your-​own-​froyo addict here. Very impressed with this place.
YOGURT: Loved the creamy consistency — I blended the non-​fat cookies n cream with the low-​fat cake batter. Velvety! There’s no way this stuff could actually be lowfat/​nonfat. I’ll adhere to my policy of not asking questions I don’t want to know the answers to. 5 stars for the yogurt *****
TOPPINGS: My favorites were mostly represented — crushed oreos, various crushed candies (mint chocolate, toffee bits, butterfinger, etc). Fruits featured bananas, grapes, mangos — but unlike SweetGreen and FroZenYo… NO BERRIES here. Weird, especially in the middle of summer. Two star deduction here… 3 stars for toppings ***
Mini sample cups available. Credit cards accepted. Will definitely go back.

The shop is set up similarly to FroZenYo (one of my favorite forzen yogurt shops), wherein you can serve yourself a number of frozen yogurt flavors and toppings. You then pay by weight.
Still, while logistically similar to my favorite foryo joint, I was disappointed with the quality of the product. I tried four flavors and the yogurts’ consistency was strange, almost watery, and the flavors were not spectacular. Furthermore, the selection of toppings was limited and not very high in quality.
I’ll be sticking to FroZenYo and Mr. Yogato for sure!

This place has been under construction for months and finally opened Saturday. Coworkers and I went en masse to try it today. The verdict: Meh.
At this late hour in the heyday of yogurt stores, there’s only one thing that will differentiate a new business from its eight billion competitors: Product. If you’re going to open a yogurt store, you better have the best yogurt in town and the best toppings to go along with it.
Yogi Castle does not. As a new business, it’s got plenty of friendly faces, bright decorations, and enthusiastic managers buzzing around, but the product is the same generic, chalky, watery stuff that flooded the city in 2009 and has long since been bested by the likes of fro-​Zen-​yo and Mr. Yogato. There are no free sauces or syrups – isn’t that what everyone’s supposed to do now? – and the toppings include cloyingly sweet mochi and sugar-​water stawberry sauce. The yogurts do not melt so much as dissolve into powder and water.
The people running this place look super nice, as do their employees. I think they’ve just hitched their apple cart to the wrong wagon with the Yogi Castle franchise. Better recipes and a fresher, less franchise-​y feel would save the place.
