Gooey’s Treats

I really wanted to like Gooey’s, but it was a no go for me. Took a couple of my friends by to try it out and I actually ended up throwing away my cone. Tried the java mint first– the java part was great but the mint tasted funny. My friend said the piña colada flavor she tried tasted like it had gone bad. I decided on the peanut butter cup and splurged on a delicious-​looking dipped waffle cone. I got two or three licks into it and realized it just wasn’t good. The flavor wasn’t quite there and I didn’t even want to finish it. To make things worse, my cone was stale and tasted like it had been dipped in very cheap chocolate. Sad day.
On the bright side, the young woman working the register was very polite and personable. However, that isn’t quite enough to bring me back.

Went there on lunch today, the staff was very friendly. I had a lot of questions regarding their Fro Yo and cones. The staff was able to answer all my questions. I went with the vanilla. It was good, the first bit was a bit bland but after that I enjoyed it. Price was ok. I will go back again

I’ve been meaning to try Gooeys for years. I finally went this past week and it is DELISH! The yogurt tastes like ice cream, unless you get the tart, which tastes like Pinkberry. The value is great– you get quite a bit of yogurt (enough for me to eat for three or four days) for the price of 1 Pinkberry! Also, this stuff has protein in it– which I always need more of!
Totally recommend to anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth without breaking the nutrition bank!

This is some down-​home TCBY-​ish place, but TCBY is so much better when it comes to old school fro yo. However, Pinkberry is still my gold standard.

I did not even wanna waste what little calories I would of consumed on this watery so called frozen yogurt! It was very bland.

Good frozen yogurt spot and healthier than lots of others and I would say it tastes just as good.

Great place to get your sugar free fro yo fix! Used to go here back in the day all the time when I lived closer. My dad is diabetic so when he comes to town I have taken him here and he loves it! They have great toppings too and fairly decent prices. Overall I like this place and it is a nice alternative to other fro yo places.

Gooey’s is great. I am a health nut and when I want a sweet treat, this is where I stop. Their no fat/​no sugar yogurt has only 36 calories per 4 oz, 0 fat, 1g protein, and 8g of carbs, 4g of those are real fruit fructose, which has a low glycemic index load compared to sucrose or HFCS. Their ingredients are all natural and for Jason R who wrote a crappy review below, I’d say the health advantages of THIS «yogurt» is much healthier than the sugary junk you find at any other fro-​yo place. PS, Jason, you can add «live and active cultures» to anything. Go to Whole Foods and buy them. The benefits of little to no sugar far outweigh the benefits of having a dose of live active cultures.
Anyhow, Gooey’s can be enjoyed without guilt by anyone who is health conscious, diabetic or lactose intolerant. My favorite «no/​no» combo is peanut butter and chocolate. Try it!

Here is a hint to all those who can’t beleive how good this so called yogurt is.
Its not yogurt!
There is no such thing as «sugar-​free» yogurt. Lactose is a natural ingredient produced in the fermentation process when making «real» cultured yogurt. If you want all the health advantages of «yogurt», live and active cultures have to be present in the product! Any sugar free soft serve is just that, a soft serve dessert mix. NOT frozen yogurt.

Gooey’s is a great place to go when you want something sweet and don’t want to feel guilty afterwards. I like this place but I can’t say it’s my favorite yogurt place. It’s healthy yogurt so you won’t get the same taste like other places. I was a little disappointed that they don’t have fresh cut up fruit. I love strawberries and the one they have is in a syrup it looks like. Overall I like this place. It’s good yogurt for a great price… you can’t beat that.

Really great taste and way better than what I usually get from a frozen yogurt. Also has the least amount of carbs and calories of any yogurt I have ever seen. Very Cool!

I’m not a fan of really sweet, really rich treats so Gooey’s is wonderful! Selection is great and everyone can find something they like. Not a place I personally visit all the time, but it’s a great alternative for those looking for a light treat.

Preface: Although I love Gooey’s, a big part of my rating is based on Gooey’s great balance of low sugar/​fat with great taste. There is better froyo to be had at other places (see my other reviews) if you’re willing to go with more sugar and fat. Now, on to the review…
After having visited the north Dallas location (practically in Plano) several times, I dropped in to «Gooey’s South» this afternoon after lunch at Mia’s Tex Mex (yum). Other than being a little bigger inside and maybe not quite as up to date on the décor, the two outlets are functionally identical. This location had the «angel food» flavor that I haven’t seen at the «Plano» location; it was quite good, but honestly, I don’t know why I ever get anything besides chocolate and peanut butter. These two, particularly the latter, are just crazy good, and the five ounce cup only has something like 45 calories if you take it topping-​free like I do.
Today, though, I tried half chocolate angel food and half «peanut butter cup», half a cup of each side by side. About halfway into it, I just stirred it all together and wow, was it delicious!
My only complaint with Gooey’s is that both locations are a bit far from me; they need to continue this Preston Road trend and put one on Preston at, say Sam Rayburn/​TX121 in Plano/​Frisco; there’s a huge retail center there that would be perfect for it.

Gooey’s is super tasty for what it is. OK OK, so it’s not Ben & Jerry’s, but the peanut butter is awesome. I’ve tried all the flavors, and they are all pretty good :) I’ve been going there for years, and I’ve never had a bad experience. I’ve yet to try the tart flavor, but I will!

Gooey’s, Gooey’s, Gooey’s…could it be that you actually pay attention to negative reviews? After passing by today on the way back to work from lunch I noticed a sign almost covering up the actual Gooey’s Treats sign, that read: «Now introducing Gooey’s Tart! (Better than Pinkberry?)» It was just too presh.
I’m very glad to see that they are realizing that crappy frozen yogurt can’t compete with delicious frozen yogurt. I stopped in only for a sample because I had already gotten some gelato from Paciugo after my Snappy Salad. They only had one tart flavor (appropriately named «Tart») but it was delicious!
I apologized that I was too full to order one but promised I’d be back to give them another shot. I do hate writing two star reviews so I am hopeful my return visit will warrant another star at least. I think this would technically be the closest fro-​yo place to my work if indeed it is a keeper, so I’ve got my fingers crossed!
Oh AND AND AND, they even had some fresh fruit instead of the syrupy stuff I encountered before! Get ready Gooey’s, I’LL BE BAHCK!

The wife and I happened to be in the same shopping center as Gooey’s, and I said «Ooooh, Gooey’s! I’ve heard on Unilocal that it’s good!» And since we love us some frozen yogurt and Unilocal is never wrong, we decided to give it a shot.
The only problem? We didn’t realize that this is healthy frozen yogurt, in the same way that diet soda is healthy soda.
We started off by sampling the Strawberry Cheesecake frozen yogurt. It had a very artificial taste and left a bad aftertaste. Then we sampled the plain Vanilla, and it made the Strawberry Cheesecake seem heavenly in comparison. Yep, gross, just like diet soda.
I’d rather have water than diet soda, similarly, I’d rather have *nothing* than diet frozen yogurt. So we left without getting anything and are still trying to rinse out the artificial aftertaste!

I’m pretty sure the Unilocal sentence describing two stars reviews sums up my opinion of Gooey’s perfectly. «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» It seriously tasted like flavored cardboard to me. But to be fair, some of friends are 100% obsessed with Gooey’s. It’s really low cal but I would much rather go to I Heart Yogurt or Natsumi. Also, I think they charge you for using your credit card if your order is under $ 5. No thankssss

Well I’ve been kind of feeling down lately so I needed something sweet. Sweet things always put a smile on my face.
Since it was my first time there, I asked the counter girl to give me the run down of what they have. I saw a bunch of soft serve machines behind the counter and noticed that they were labeled FAT-​FREE or NO SUGAR or LOW SUGAR. Come on people! If you want to fully enjoy something you gotta have the good stuff (sugar) in it! (Mind you I say this about ice cream and soft serve yogurt, not my Diet Dr.Peppers.) I also asked which flavor was the most popular with their customers and she said Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirl.
I went with the PB and Choco swirl and got some crushed up Reese’s PB cups thrown into the mix as well, for that extra PB and Choco goodness. FDA warnings against peanut products? Yeah right. I’m brave.
The PB and Choco Swirl soft serve was more chocolaty than peanut buttery, but still great. I just finished my large serving and I’m feeling down again. I think I need to make another trip back for some more!

This is where I go if I’m feeling like a naughty good girl. I think I just threw up typing that, but whatever.
The froyo is SINLESS (or so they say, and so I choose to believe!). Fat free, flavorful, and delicious. I personally like mine plain because the texture is so smooth.
DO NOT get the frozen banana. I don’t know if they even still sell those but I did not enjoy mine.
DO get the frozen yogurt pie. OH MY GOD is that delicious. I usually try to be sparing with my use of caps. But SERIOUSLY there is no replacement for the frozen yogurt pies at Gooey’s. Baskin Robbins, you and your fattening ice cream cakes, don’t even try.
Everyone I know is addicted to Gooey’s. The first time you visit you’ll be like «What? This is nothing special». But for a week… you’ll keep thinking about Gooey’s…and you can’t get it out of your head… then next thing you know you’re trying to decide between the Snickers or gummy bear toppings (BOTH, my friend).

Having just posted a topic on the forum about flavor vs. healthiness, I couldn’t help but think of Gooey’s, a rare gem of a frozen yogurt place that does not sacrifice yumminess to cut back the calories.
Gooey’s specializes in low and fat-​free flavors, which come in at 8 calories an ounce. They have 10 at all times, ranging from your traditional, chocolate and vanilla, to the more interesting, pumpkin pie or marshmallow. Of course, you can mix and match as you like, or counteract the healthiness with toppings (crushed candies, oreos, etc). Prices are very reasonable with a small starting at $ 2.50 and, as Meridith and Russell have pointed out it is kosher, so those worries about errant bacon bits appearing in your peanut butter-​dark chocolate swirl can be a thing of the past (great observation Russ!)
Be warned that Gooey’s is a place that you could easily miss if you blink or sneeze at the wrong moment. It is in a non-​descipt strip mall on the west side of Preston across from Obzeet. Of course, maybe there are wonderful, thriving businesses in that shopping center that I simply cannot see because my heart and my taste buds can only focus on the creamy, tasty goodness of Gooey’s
