Pro Tips

  1. 1.Coach younger kids on portion control before they start,the self-serve model is priced by weight, and bowls can get expensive quickly if you're not careful
  2. 2.Go early in the evening (around 5-6pm) to beat the after-dinner rush and have easier access to the toppings bar
  3. 3.Bring wipes or napkins,sticky fingers and toppings spills are inevitable with excited kids
  4. 4.Let kids practice using the yogurt machine levers on a small cup first to avoid overflows and messes
  5. 5.Check their Facebook page for special flavor announcements and occasional discount days

Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons (3-5pm) before the dinner crowd arrives offer the calmest experience with full access to all toppings. Summer evenings get busy, so weekday visits work best for families with younger children who need more space and attention.

What to Know

Pricing is by weight, so monitor how much kids pile on. Ample parking is available in the shopping center lot, and the shop is stroller-accessible with easy entry.

Seasonal Notes

Popular year-round, but especially busy during summer months and after school gets out. A perfect warm-weather destination, though also a cozy treat stop during cooler months.
