Yogen Früz

Stopped by Yogen Fruz in Algonquin… was sad to see they’ve closed that particular store for good

Love this place, wish it didn’t break the bank.

After a trip there with my 10 year old son, I just can’t get my experience out of my head. The two young girls working there were complaining the entire time about their job at the yogurt shop. There was one with long, blonde hair and one with long, brown hair. They complained non– stop for the entire time we were there, never once stopping to even acknowledge other customers. One went on and on about how she couldn’t attend her sports practices because of her work schedule. I’m baffled by their behavior. Sadly, this type of experience seems to be pretty common and not just at this establishment.
In terms of the yogurt… it’s just as good as any of these types of self-​serve yogurt shops. I wouldn’t return only because of my poor impression of the employees.

Your typical frozen yogurt joint. Lots of topping options and price is dependent on weight. The only reason they are not a 5 star is because they don’t have that many yogurt flavors as some of the other leading competitors. Overall, recommended.

Just went there last night with my girlfriend. They had one good froyo flavor but it was really good. Macodami I believe they called it. Employee was a little unprofessional during our visit though.

The treat bar is spectacular and the amount of choices is extravagantly amazing. The pain fruit is delicious!

Dirty despite the ultra modern décor. Furniture and tables have spills and dirt that haven’t been cleaned, fingerprints all over the windows, spilled toppings all over the floors, topping spoons were crusty, baseboards were dirty with crumbs stuck underneath, & walls had marks and chipped paint. On top of the filth, 6 of the 10 self serve machines were empty, and the only employee had a sloppy shirt and shorty shorts on (nothing to indicate she was working). Disappointing. The froyo tasted fine, but not outstanding. If you’re running a place that sells food and drink, it should be clean and tidy, not dirty and sloppy… and the machines should be full for self serve, not mostly out of service! No reason for me to go back. Sorry!

The frozen yogurt here is great! At 120 calories per 4 ounces, what a refreshing treat on a hot and humid day. If you are in the beautiful village of Algonquin, IL., stop by and treat yourself !

Came in for our first visit this evening.
I was disappointed that there was no banana flavor like I had seen on the website. I thought maybe it was just a rotated flavor, and decided to give a few of the flavors a try that were on tap. After we already had ours, I noticed a sign behind the counter with several fruit flavors — not sure if it had to be asked for or what. No one offered any explanation when we first walked in, so who knows.
I got some triple chocolate truffle or something like that, and a small bit of the salted caramel and some of the vanilla (which they seemed to be having issues with because it was really runny). Nice selection of toppings — I added delicious things like heath, cookie dough, dark chocolate curls, chocolate caramel turtles, chocolate covered raisins — and of course rainbow sprinkles (still a kid at heart and ADORE some rainbow sprinkles!).
The kids enjoyed playing with the ipads they have there (but afterwards I doused their hands with hand sanitizer!).
Overall, it was good and we’ll probably come back.

Great location and hours. The yogurt is delicious as are the multiple choice of toppings. Décor is fresh, modern and inviting. Lavazza coffee bar is also offere, and who can beat that?

Yogurt was good. Decent selection of toppings and flavors. The décor is very Euro and trendy, very appealing. The cleanliness and service left something to be desired. Tables had a couple of layers of different types if yogurt. The staff was too busy talking to come out and clean it.

It’s okay. I like the flavors at YUMZ much better. Their birthday cake batter actually tastes like birthday cake. At Yogen Fruz, it tasted like… vanilla ice cream.
The choices were plentiful and the prices seem to just about even with Yumz.
Again, the germ-​phobe in me screams every time we go in there.
Yogen Fruz has iPads built into the counter so while you eat, you can play a game of Angry Birds or Cut the Rope… such a cool idea. My kids, even though the have tablets of their own, think this is awesome. I think it is pretty cool but, oy, those iPads were DIRTY. Yuck!

I love frozen yogurt and I was disappointed with this place. They have very limited options when it comes to flavors of frozen yogurt for the soft serve. I love doing a fruit flavor with fresh fruit and boba, but they only had one option for fruit flavor.
Since we came here on a groupons, we had to pick a nu sensation. I had the mint chocolate chip and was able to try the coffee. I was not a big fan of either. Even with the groupon, it seemed overpriced. Each medium nu sensation is $ 7 regularly. That’s a bit crazy for froyo that wasn’t really good to begin with.
I did really like the layout of the store though. It was cool that they had iPads to play with while you eat froyo!

I had a sample of their hot chocolate when they had the trick or treat event before Halloween. I was shocked at how good it was. I definitely will be coming back to try more on the menu.

I have been here once. The place is a bit confusing and the staff really didn’t go out of there way to explain to us how the whole system worked. The first self serve handle I pulled came out all runny. Was kind of disappointed. To me the yogurt was just OK. Nothing great. They did have a great selection of toppings.\
I plan on giving them another shot just to see if maybe my first visit was a fluke that didn’t totally over impress.

Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the crazy flavors that I had at a Menchies on Oahu, but Yogen Fruz self serve was rather disappointing. First of all, they aren’t kidding when they say «soft serve.» It’s, I’d imagine, what Christmas elf diarrhea looks like. The frozen yogurt was considerably melted even before I got it out of the store. The flavors are oh so boring too. I opted for the most adventuresome flavor, which was passion fruit & mixed it with the tart original. It tasted too much like ice cream for me and lacked a nice tartness that I’ve come to expect from good fro yo. The toppings sort of reminded me of the dessert bar at a certain all you can eat buffet (so Midwestern), with the exception of mochi & popping boba. I chose some mango chunks, kiwi hunks, and a small scoop of mochi, which all complimented the passion fruit yogurt nicely.
I normally look forward to Yogen Fruz when I’m at our local mall, but for some reason, this particular self-​serve fro yo place just doesn’t do it for me at all. I will say, however, that this has sparked a Fro yo-​a-​palooza for me, and I’m pretty stoked about seeking out the best frozen yogurt the far western suburbs have to offer… stay tuned.

Cool looking place. I agree with another reviewer that no one really steps up with customer service to explain things for the first timer. The yogurt and everything was yummy. I only gave it three stars because the store wasn’t very clean and the women’s bathroom was like going into a gas station bathroom. It was very disgusting. It did make me wonder about the cleanliness of the food area and back kitchen area. This location was a bit sloppy. But the frozen yogurt was delish.

This place is like heaven on earth! When I first walked in the staff greeted me and asked if I’ve ever been there before, when I said no they explained what to do. They have so many toppings and flavors. I sampled several flavors and they were all delicious. I just wish I lived closer to one like this, the little mall locations don’t do it justice.

I liked this place a lot. The employees were very friendly, the service was quick, too.
The only thing I didn’t really like was the first couple seconds I was in there I stood there like an idiot saying «what do I do?»
I then walked over to the self-​serve wall and got a little bit of the coconut, which is like HEAVEN with the fresh raspberries on it. I could have eaten probably 7 or 8 or 10 more of those, but I did manage to show some self-​restraint.
The inside looks neat and futuristic. I just wish fewer crappy, tween-​aged children hadn’t been giggling up the joint, because I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

This place is growing on me and they definitely have been working out the kinks since opening. No more rough-​cut drywall openings and they have even since installed a number of iPads so you can browse the latest headlines, search the web, or play your favorite game while enjoying your yogurt.
The coconut self-​serve is still my current fav. Top with fresh shaved coconut and dark-​chocolate curls and I find it just about irresistible!
