Qoola Frozen Yogurt Bar

1) Yogurt quality is good
2) Over priced by large gap vs pinkberry
3) Flavor selection is bad
4) I think they get flavor they like vs. Bringing flavours their customers like.
Tips: bring red valvet, sour apple, strawberry, regular mango etc…
Their green tea flavor is horrible
Customer service is good tho

I am a huge fan of self-​serve frozen yogurt places and I am so happy to have one in Square 1. Like other reviewers have mentioned, their yogurt is organic, GMO-​free, and made from Canadian milk — what’s not to love? On any given day, they offer 10 (I think) frozen yogurt flavours, which includes no-​sugar-​added options, and probably 40 different toppings (candy, fruit, mochi, nuts, sauces, etc.)
My mix of the day included the matcha green tea froyo topped with mini mochi, cheesecake, and pirouline wafers. The matcha flavour was quite mild, but present and pleasant.
The storefront is clean, bright, and super cute. The people are super friendly and welcoming. They are proactive in offering to let you sample any of the yogurts and helping you with toppings. I will definitely be back whenever I find myself at the mall… and maybe other times as well.

I needed dessert after eating at the food court and came across Qoola. I really like this fro-​yo place! The girl serving us was very sweet and patient as we debated which flavour to get. Ended up getting the Mango Sorbet which was super delicious! The server gave us each a small card and told us if we guessed the price of our cup correctly, we’d get our fro-​yo for free. We were both way off but didn’t mind paying $ 7 for our yummy treat. She also told us on Tuesdays between 12 – 2, its fill your cup for $ 2.

It’s takes a lot out of me to give a 5 star review!
Was strolling around Sq1 and decided I needed a snack, and stumbled upon this place as it looked brand new. as I walked in I was greeted with a smile, and I looked slightly confused .I got offered to try a sample of anything I wanted !
I’m not one of those frozen yogurt connoisseurs but wow, it’s been nearly a month and a half and I’m still craving what I had
NY strawberry cheese cake. with real cheese cake chunks, fresh sweet strawberries. anything else you could imagine ! And those passion fruit jelly balls! Omg. wish I could buy a bucket of those to bring home!
I will be back !

Oh yes. Organic yogurt. Love the mango. Add coconut shavings and almonds… a frozen treat that won’t kill you is always good.

This is the only place I’m getting my froyo from now on mainly because it’s GMO free and organic. It was my first time going today, and when my sister & I walked in we were automatically greeted by a friendly employee, she asked if we’ve ever been here before and to not hesitate to ask for samples. My sister and I both got cheesecake which was the best one there and vanilla. The topping counter was clean and all the fruit looked very fresh. I wasn’t concerned about the cost as it’s good quality froyo. Will definitely be back throughout the summer.

I’m so glad there are more frozen yogurt bars near my area! Out of all the fro yo bars I’ve tried this is my new all-​time fave. The reason Qoola didn’t get full stars is because it is on the pricey side. For the five of us the total was $ 40+, which is about $ 8 per cup!
The employee helping us was very friendly and knowledgable. You can also read the nutritional facts of each flavour above the dispenser. This is great if you want to know what ingredients are used and how many calories are in a serving. The fro yo bar was very clean and had a contemporary look to it. They also have a long counter with bar stools for you to sit and enjoy your dessert.
They have some very unique flavours that I have never seen at any other fro yo bars. Today I got the lychee mandarin and mango flavours. The fro yo actually tasted fresh and were made with real ingredients! Additionally, all the fruit toppings were also fresh. A unique topping that I haven’t come across until today are actually lychees.
Overall, this is my new go to spot for frozen yogurt! Since it’s pricey I will go here occasionally.

I was so excited to see this place pop up on square one. It seems like frozen yogurt places were all the rage in the US, while we patiently waited for something other than yogan fruz (?)
The flavors available were all pretty basic — nothing crazy. I’d love to see them introduce seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice in the fall (which they probably will come to think of it!). The ingredients are all listed and there’s nothing sketchy to be found. Always a win in my books.
The toppings bar was pretty extensive with beautiful looking fresh fruit, various chocolate goodies, candies, etc.
The prices are a little crazy. It was about $ 14 for me and my fiancé and neither of us went crazy with the yogurt or the toppings, but you get what you pay for!
Overall, I’d return but not frequently. I’m an ice cream lover at heart so that will always be my preferable choice! I do look forward to seeing some seasonal flavors though!

Cashier: That’ll be $ 6.19, please.
Me (thinking): But this cup is only half-​full and I didn’t go crazy at the toppings bar. And can’t I buy an entire litre of ice cream for the same price at the grocery store?
Ok, these fro-​yo places are incredibly terrible value. I admit that as someone who watches her wallet carefully. HOWEVER, I rarely buy full quarts of ice cream or go out for ice cream/​gelato, so I consider it as an occasional treat.
Plus, as per mentioned, the ingredients are posted and the frozen yogurt is actually made of — get this — frozen yogurt, not a bunch of chemicals, including propylene glycol… which I accidentally saw on one of their competitor’s ingredients.

So aside from the price, I have nothing to complain about! Will look up whether or not they have some kinda loyalty program tho’. ;)

So I’m not super big into frozen yogurt, but I do find it refreshing at times.
Likes:
–Everything is organic
–GMO free
–The fruit toppings are very fresh and none of that frozen garbage. The lychees and kiwi’s were so fresh and absolutely delicious.
–Free samples.
Dislikes:
–It’s a bit more expensive than YoYo’s at $ 0.65/oz vs. $ 0.55/oz. While that doesn’t seem like much, if you buy 10 oz, it’s a $ 1.00 difference. However, you get what you paid for.
Verdict: Good fro-​yo place while you do your shopping in Square One.

Life can go on– this place rocks!!!
After a bad experience at Yeh (Lakeshore) Qoola totally lives up to what true Froyo should taste like! Thanks to Eva, I found this gem and made sure to give it a try upon immediate entry to Square One. First off, the place has only been open for about two weeks. Originated in Vancouver, who wouldn’t want to support a Canadian business!
Employees offer samples to customers wanting to try flavours– some unique ones:
Lychee
Green tea
Mango Passionfruit
Vanilla bean
Chocolate
Blood orange
I was hoping to get tart but there was none in sight so I got some vanilla bean instead.
One standout from all the other Froyo providers out there– offerings:
Organic milk– local farmers
Organic cage free eggs
Cane sugar– none of that corn syrup crap
Use greek yogurt
NO POWDER MIX USED
Toppings typical fruit/​candy with some standouts:
Almond rocha
Pumpkin granola
Cantaloupe
FLAX (ground flax seeds) — love ya Qoola! If I can sneak in some omega I will!
Toppings were filled to the brim with an employee designated for stocking the supply. When paying I asked for a membership card (sugar coma must be sustained), I was told that they ran out.
I asked if they will be offering tart as one of the flavours and was told that the flavours would be changing next week.
Future offerings will include:
Sugar free
Lactose free
Only two locations in the GTA, Square One and York University with many more in Calgary and Vancouver.
I will definitely be back and hope that the tart flavour is equally as good as the vanilla bean. A rating of 5 stars is pending the taste of my all time love– tart!

Finally a self-​serve frozen yogurt bar at Square One!
I got excited when I saw their green tea flavour. I had a sample, but unfortunately, it tastes nothing like green tea ice cream. I walked out with some mango-​flavoured frozen yogurt topped with fresh blueberries, pineapple and mango bits, along with crushed Almond Roca. Mmm… and as always, I added a couple sour keys, too. The mango flavour was not too sweet. The fruits were very fresh, and there was a large variety of toppings — fruity, chocolatey, and nutty. I noticed they serve yogurt smoothies as well.
Besides the name, location, and the fact that both Qoola and Yogurty’s are Canadian companies that use farm-​fresh Canadian milk, I am not sure if there is a big difference between these two frozen yogurt bars. (Menchie’s, on the other hand, is American.)
