Local Yogurt

The yogurt is pretty amazing — it’s creamy but light… I don’t know how they do it… Maybe it’s some sorcery, but whatever it is, it’s great.
The flavors are pretty unique too!
The only problem for me was the service. While the employee wasn’t terrible, he definitely was not friendly. Maybe he was having bad days the two times I went. Who knows? We all have bad days
But in the end, you go to yogurt places for the yogurt, and the yogurt is great so to LoYo i go!
I definitely recommend that you try it out sometime though

Favorite frozen yogurt place! In fact I was the second person here when this location opened a few years ago. The pricing is a bit higher than other frozen yogurt chains and it is not unlimited toppings, but the quality of the yogurt is worth it.

Fun little frozen yogurt place. Cute interior design, yogurt is decent, toppings are pretty good too. Nothing too extraordinary but it’s definitely a fun place to hang out with friends!

The yogurt tastes great, lots of options for flavors and toppings, however i guess I’m spoiled to the fix your own joints where you pay by the ounce. I’m just not a fan of having someone else fix it, then having that many options for and being charged per topping plus not choosing how much of each yogurt flavor and topping you get. I do love supporting local establishments, but mixed feelings on whether I’ll try again.

This place is such a sweet treat to get on a weekday afternoon. The prices are very affordable and they have loads of toppings. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was due to the lack of flavor variety. (usually 1 – 3 flavored plus the original tart) I will say that every time I’ve gone in they have changed up the flavored which is always refreshing and fun to try.

Boy you sure can tell loyo has relocated to the privileged area of town, wonder how that’s working for ya?!
I enjoy being served, paying a set amount not by weight, @ a frozen yogurt spot who in the bleep is in a rush to enjoy such satisfying moment?
Loyo is great if want to pay by weight go to southpoint and pay a ridiculous $ 9 bucks for a typical $ 3 cup serving @ loyo… smdh…“complaining, complaining, complaining the next time you want holes in sheets don’t ask me and mine for nuthin’, I’m going home! (Apologies to movie Django – sorry it was just befitting)

Great froyo flavors and taste, but I get the feeling that it’s a bit behind in many ways to other froyo places in the area (and its convenient location on Erwin saves it from a lot of the competition).
Mainly, it’s not self-​serve, which means there’s a fixed portion that the employee serves for you for a flat fee. You have to ask them to put toppings on for you, which means that you can’t just quickly do it yourself and at an amount you want (unless you want to get annoyingly detailed with the employee). There’s a much more limited selection of flavors, and the flavors aren’t much different from what you would get at other self-​serve froyo places. If there’s someone in front of you in line, you’ll have to stand in line and wait for them to complete all of the above. Eventually, one gets the feeling that this system is not so efficient…
I get that it’s supposed to be different from a self-​serve froyo place. And the interior is nice, toppings are fresh. But because of all of the above, getting your froyo takes longer and customization can be limited, and being able to customize your own bowl conveniently and quickly is one of the nicer things about going out for froyo. That said, because I live nearby, I still visit sometimes for a convenient, tasty, and relatively healthy treat.

I never really came here as an undergrad but my friends love coming here for old times’ sake so I’ve managed to come here finally. The froyo here is definitely tasty and unlike other joints, it’s not a self-​serve place. There’s flat pricing based on size and toppings rather than weight which is also a nice change. The interior is cute and the décor is bright and colorful.
My one complaint are those paper bowls that LoYo serves their froyo in. There has to be some other eco-​friendly option that doesn’t make my froyo taste like cardboard after a little while.

Yum… stopped by on a Sunday to find they had buy one medium get a petite with one topping free! Had cookies n cream and cake batter for the medium and strawberry cheesecake with brownie bits for the petite. Hubby and I polished both off and kept reaching over each others cups to sample all 3 flavors. Pretty delicious and generous portions for the pricing. I’m wondering if they can post some nutrition facts though because it definitely was too good to be ‘healthy’…more on the soft serve side than frozen yogurt side of things… or maybe some things are better left unknown!

I always stop by this place when I come to the Duke area. The original flavor is fantastic and the only one that I get, but they have recently expanded the selection of flavors to about 8 I believe. I’m looking forward to the day when this place becomes self-​serve, but for now, I am still really happy with how incredible the quality of yogurt at this place is.

Back in the day when the Loyo truck would come to campus, business was booming and for good reason. You would have the option of combining any of the four flavors offered (usually chocolate, vanilla, and two other possibly fruit ones) and a great selection of toppings, all of which came in a paper cup and cost about $ 3.
Now Duke has Red Mango. However, many student groups still host fundraisers with Loyo. It’s located in a plaza of buildings across from Sushilove. The interior is very spacious, with green interior design motifs and chairs to hang around in as a group. Different from the self serve mechanism, but still tasty yogurt.

If you like frozen yogurt this is a MUST TRY place! LoYo is great!!! This location has different flavors to choose from every day. Go on Tuesdays, you can get a small with 3 toppings for $ 3. Also be sure to get the punch card, you will get a free small after your 10^th purchase. I have almost earned my 4^th free one!!!

My red velvet and chocolate swirl was topped with real kiwi and canned lychees
The woman manning the register (Maria) was Southern-​style friendly
Like a Pinkberry but less funky
They do one thing and do it well.

I was tempted to try Local Yogurt DESPITE the fact that their official Twitter linked to and exposed to that awful Lil Wayne parody that white frat boy made. (I mean, I thought the video couldn’t get worse, but then he put on that Lil Wayne wig and I was NOT pleased.)
Despite that mess of a video, I gotta say I love their product (and the abundance of toppings). Yes, there are less flavor options on hand than at, say, a Yogurtland. But, hey, they’ve actually got about the same amount of flavors pumping as a Pinkberry or even the Yogurt Pump. Now, are they as good as Pinkberry? Maybe pretty close. (personally, nothing beats Pinkberry’s wintertime seasonal knockout Peppermint w/​the chocolate topping and the all-​natural peppermint bark, but I would LOVE to see LoYo try to match that flavor.) And as for Yogurt Pump? You know what, I think LoYo is better than YoPo!
Now, I live in Chapel Hill so it’s not always convenient to head over to LoYo unless I have other business in the area, but I’d love to see them move in on the Hill. I know Sweet Frog (which also isn’t too shabby) set up shop mere steps from YoPo… I’d love to have closer access to LoYo in my neighborhood! How ’bout Meadowmont?

What can I say, this place is great. The flavors are pretty solid and always creamy. It brings me back to the days when I’d go out to get ice cream, a treat which seldom comes now a days (being health conscious sucks sometimes).
I like their toppings. But, then again, I’m pretty pleased with just getting strawberries or Golden Grahams.
The one downside is the small variety of flavors; I tend not to go here unless I know for sure what the flavors are. Flavors that are worth making a trip here for: dulce de leche, cake batter, strawberry (it’s been too long, I think it’s a summer flavor. Have that with cake batter and graham cracker dust, a nice take on the strawberry shortcake).

Steps away from sushi love and six plates– well worth it way to end an evening. This was our first time, went for the Sunday «family special» which was buy a medium and get a free petite size. These were big portions too.
I got red velvet yogurt with dark chocolate curls on top-​it was amazing. Rich, smooth, perfect combo.
Stop in, try some yogurt, nice staff, friendly. Cool couches to sit on.

I really didn’t like loyo when I tried it for the first time. But it’s perhaps because I’m from Northern Virginia/​DC area where there are plenty of popularized and well-​known froyo stores all over the area. I think I have definitely grown to like it more, but I still think the taste of the original flavor is kind of different from what most froyos I’ve had throughout my life is like.
That being said, their popping boba is pretty unique, and I do like the discounts they give sometimes to duke students. They often run out of fresh fruits though, and even though I like to try out their other flavors like pistachio and blueberry from time to time, I like the original the most because it’s the closest to what froyo should be like.
They have loyo trucks visiting the school campus often these days, so look out for those.

Hmm, I really liked the coffee shop that used to be here. Now it’s a lime green décor, perfect for undergraduate college students to hang out. It’s got some tasty yogurt, but I like the system where you can put as much or as little as you like in your cup and you have control of it.
Here, you have to select one or two flavors, then get charged for each topping. It’s a set price and a generous portion, but it’s not weight based like the other shops.
Not my top choice for yogurt.

I love LoYo! :) And now that they have a new location near Duke, I can go there more often! Yay!
Favorite yogurt flavors: blueberry, superberry, pistachio, raspberry … yeah, I like berries.
Favorite toppings: popping boba (ALL of them!), mochi, wet walnuts (they’re basically candied walnuts)
They pretty much have a discount every day of the week for something; there’s bound to be one applicable to you. Do get a punch card so you can get a free loyo on your tenth purchase!

FTR? I’ll take it! The newest Durham location of LoYo is definitely a step above the oldie goldie. Not only is it about double the size, it’s also cozier. Orange loveseats mix in with the trademark white, green, and pumpkin palette to offer a more welcoming place to park with your yo’. The outside is better too: Perching on the edge of a fountain in Erwin Terrace is WAY better than watching traffic on University.
But that’s not all… This location seems to have more flavors — five today (vs. the three that I’m used to seeing at the other) — AND it has more toppings. I was blown away to see little lychee boba in an assortment of flavors (mango, strawberry, passionfruit, and more!).
Today, I arrived about five til close, but the cashier welcomed me in and carefully piled my medium cup of plain yogurt with the three toppings I requested. I was worried there wouldn’t be enough toppings to last through my generous serving of yogurt, but he’d expertly crafted it so there were plenty.
My one suggestion for this local fave of mine is to create a toppings sheet. Like a kid in a candy shop, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the amazing things on offer. Rather than ask the employee, «What’s this? How about that one?» Do you have…” and so on. It would save time upon ordering, and save the customer some angst!
