Island Frozen Yogurt Bar

Came in here two separate times to ask if they had non dairy options and both times the staff was clueless. They both gave the same answer.””” Uhhhhhh. I don’t know what it’s made out of.” How do you hire people who are unfamiliar with a product to sell it???

A National Strawberry Day Celebration Inspired Review
«Let me take you down, because I’m going to Strawberry Fields where nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.» Actually «Strawberry Fields is real and something I am hung about. «Strawberry Fields Forever» is my favorite all time Beatle’s song. The late John Lennon created a musical soundscape painting a vivid imagery of my favorite fruit and flavor: the strawberry. Yesterday on National Strawberry Day, I was determined to celebrate my favorite fruit and flavor with a delicious strawberry dessert.
I had just hiked a few hours up on the foothills of the Amargosa Trail. I would be replacing the calories that I had burnt with a special strawberry dessert. The Amargosa Trailhead near the Horizon Ridge Parkway Von’s parking lot put me in short distance of Cold Stone Creamery and Island Frozen Yogurt Bar. The reviews for Cold Stone were «blah,» where the ones for Island Frozen Yogurt Bar were exciting. Unilocal reviews with National Strawberry Day led me a short drive from the hiking trail to the food trail.
When I pulled into the Island Frozen Yogurt Bar parking lot it was nighttime. This is a picturesque spot in a higher elevation of Henderson where you have a view of the valley below. At nighttime with the millions of lights below, you feel like you are walking in a yogurt shop in Hollywood.
The taste of the frozen yogurt briefly made me feel like a Hollywood star. I ordered a cup of very berry strawberry frozen yogurt topped off with the fruit I was celebrating: strawberries, raspberry sauce, mini M&Ms, and mini Reeses. The soft yogurt brought my taste buds to higher peaks than the Amargosa Trail that I just hiked on. Strawberries, M&Ms, and Reeses make a winning combination. Partaking in this National Strawberry Day celebration costed me around $ 4.75. In similar fashion to Yogurt Land, Island Frozen Yogurt Bar charges by weight. If you only fill the soft yogurt in the paper cup, it will be less than a cup containing nuts, strawberries, animal crackers, graham crackers, maraschino cherries, and other sweets. Regardless of the weight, there are complimentary cones at the front of the yogurt bar.
The self serve yogurt bar is smaller than Yogurt Land. I counted approximately 15 flavors. But just like I say when I go to Friendly Doughnuts: «quality over quantity.» Additionally, I read that Island Frozen Yogurt Bar offers Dole Whip.
It’s more than frozen yogurt that is cool here. It is cool that in the back there is a small arcade. If there is a National Arcade Day, this could be a destination to celebrate over a couple of games of Miss Pacific Man. This is a small arcade holding a Midway Miss Pacific Man/​Galaga machine, three pinball machines, table hockey, and one or two more games.
What is the antithesis of cold here was the young lady that welcomed me to Island Frozen Yogurt. She had a welcoming and not warm manner.
A post-​hiking National Strawberry Day celebration was a rewarding experience. I experienced another outstanding yogurt shop near my home and hiking trails. The very berry strawberry yogurt really hit the spot.
Strawberry Fields Forever!

Came by last night after a fail donut run. pineapple frozen yogurt! There’s only two places in the US you can get actual dole whip and that’s Disneyland and Hawaii. But this will totally do! Cashier was very friendly and sweet. Will definitely be back!

This place is rarely busy, they’re right next to a pizza and indian restaurant so if you come down for some lunch or dinner you can walk over for desert!
It is a bit pricey than yogurtland but they are moslty known for their Dole pinapple sweetness.
The yest are the usual flavors and not many toppings to choose from. More bummed they didn’t have my favorite (cheesecake bites)
The staff are friendly they also have a small arcade in the back for some fun time.
When you go onn make sure to get a card and have it punched in, once you reach a certain amount you get a free froyo cup!!!
Reason why I’m only giving 4 and not 5 stars is the price, I almost spent $ 7 for just half a small cup… wtf right?
Everything else was good :-)

Always friendly, great toppings mmm mochi, and close to home. Looks like a locally owned place check it out ;)

Super clean and always great helpful service. We love it here and it is so close to the house I like the punch card set up for discounts and the coconut with cheese cake pieces is my favorite!

The yogurt here is amazing you can choose from different yogurt flavors I got cookies and cream because that is my favorite flavor you can also choose many different toppings to create a delicious fun looking yogurt and the price is pretty reasonable depending on how much yogurt and toppings that you get the customer service here is friendly and the lady that I seen helped me out for my first time since I didn’t know much about the cups and yogurts and toppings you can also get a waffle cone instead of a cup which I just barely found out about other then that this is a good place to go to when your looking for something to cool down with especially with the summer coming now and it being as hot as it is I see myself possibly coming back and getting some yogurt from this place.

Free waffle cone! Frozen yogurt is amazing :) Dole pineapple and orange frozen yogurt if you like sherbet flavors. Cake batter, coconut, salted caramel latte, and vanilla are my fave. They have an awesome array of toppings too! I wish they had a location in Las Vegas!

Just tried the Dole pineapple fro-​yo with mochi bits and pineapple chunks (I know, redundant. .), it was excellent. .tangy, like a sorbet.

This nice young man always makes us feel good n suggests the best toppings. Like these bursting balls!!!

So delicious. Our son and daughter in law treated us to such a wonderful treat. Right in our own neighborhood we didn’t even know it existed. I had the dole pineapple and coconut mix with fresh strawberries and coconut flakes. It was the best treat I’ve had in a long time and will be back soon

This is a great frozen yogurt bar on my side of town! I don’t have to drive too far to get my yogurt fix. Thankful for this because living out here it usually takes about 20 minutes to get somewhere. They have a bunch of different flavors and toppings to choose from. It’s truly a frozen yogurt bar!

I will be honest and say I’m not a huge fro-​yo fan, however the hubby is which is why I’m here so often. They have a great selection of flavors and their Dole Pineapple is every bit of deliciousness you expect it to be. Their coconut and plain are also very good.
Oh and how could I forgot their chocolate tastes just like a Wendy’s frosty and I like to believe this version is better for me. My favorite combination is pineapple on the bottom then ½ coconut ½chocolate on top. Try them you won’t be disappointed.

Ok, it’s definitely time for an update!
My original few experiences kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. I’ve been back quite a few times since and things are greatly improved.
First of all, the service has pretty much always been friendly (after the original bad experience). The last time I was in, I was given a punch card. I had no idea they had these and nobody had ever even offered…
Anyhow, it’s a cute little local place. It’s self serve, obviously. They only have about 8 flavors, but they do a good job of mixing them up. The best thing is that all of them are either low fat or non fat — guilt free treats!
There is plenty of seating — both inside and out. There is a small arcade in the back for kids, which is cool.
Prices are still reasonable. I went in with my parents and we each got the «medium» sized yogurt. The total was about $ 12, which is great. Also, to update my previous review — they now have lids that fit all 3 cup sizes. If you are in to waffle cups — they offer them FOR FREE! I don’t know of any other place that doesn’t charge for a waffle cone in your cup.
I noticed that they also offer shaved ice, but have yet to try it. I’ll stick with the yogurt for now. It also looks like they recently changed the name of the Dole Pineapple and orange — they are now called «Hawaiian» pineapple and orange. Wonder why? Anyhow, it’s still just as delicious!

WHAT’S WITH THE FRO YO?
Due to the overwhelming check ins of several un-​named Unilocalers I had no choice but to bookmark this place and go there eventually. Well, on a hot triple digit afternoon I decided to take the fam after telling them that these guys have the Dole Pineapple Whip. As soon as they heard that they couldnt get here fast enough.
After about some lengthy driving… we finally make it! I was thinking were going to Boulder City after a while for it was literally only a couple more miles up the freeway. The last time we had Dole Pineapple Whip was at a stand inside Disneyland just in front of the Enchanted Tiki Room. This fro you they have here tastes just like it. Now if they would only sell pineapple juice and pineapple spears…
Just like any other fro yo place, they have all sorts of toppings at your disposal. One thing I noticed that stood out was that you can get a layer of waffle cone for your cup. Whatever you decide, you pay for total weight in ounces. After getting 3 nice sized cups, the bill came out to about 15 bucks. I would say that’s about average.
I like the ambience of the place. Looks like place you can hang out and shoot the breeze with your friends while having some fro yo. For those old school video gamers, they actually have a some upright video games in the back called the family room. No quarters needed. Just hit start and off you go! They have Pac Man and Donkey Kong! The other upright one was a mix of about 10 old school games as well but you gotta play it on a really tiny screen. The only thing that was a downer was that the joystick for the Pac Man game was not working correctly meaning that whatever direction you want your Pac Man to go, didnt always went that way. Yeah, I hate it whenever my joystick goes in different directions. Just ask my wife. Lol. Oh well, its free so no complaints right?
Overall, its not a bad place to hang out. I just dont wanna drive all the way across town and virtually into Boulder City for some fro yo unless I or my wife was really craving it. Btw, they dont take American Express.
Unilocal 2014 365 Review Challenge #155 «Pineapple fro yo ftw!»

Dole pineapple fro-​yo! This is a cool, local joint that satisfies my cravings. In the past, I have only been able to get the authentic «dole whip» from Disneyland or Hawaii, but this version suffices. I like keeping my toppings simple. I could eat it plain, but chose to top mine with pineapples and strawberries.
There are plenty of other flavor options and toppings that are similar to other fro-​yo establishments. The overall place inside is clean and bright. There is a nice outdoor space as well. Another plus is that that they offer waffle cones for no additional cost! I would love to make a dessert flavored combo with the waffle cone, such as cake batter or cheesecake fro-​yo. Lastly, customer service was friendly :)

This is my new favorite place for dessert. I normally am not a dessert person, but i’m hooked on this place.
This is the low down. First, you pick your cup small, medium, or large. You can even pick a waffle cone at no extra charge. They have several different frozen yogurt flavors. Even a no sugar added flavor! Bonus for me! You can add as much or as little yogurt in your cup as you desire. Make sure you leave room though because next comes ALL the toppings at the topping bar! They have so many chooses! Everything from fruit, mochi, brownie bites, cereal and even animal crackers. They also have any kind of sauce you could want. Chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce and even agave sauce. Take your pick! Now you step up to the scale and weight your yogurt. You pay by the weight. For my husband and I it’s usually around $ 11.
If you want to stay and eat your frozen yogurt there they have plenty of seating and even a little arcade for the kids. If you feel like some fresh air they have benches outside. The staff is always friendly and helpful. If you feel like splurging on dessert hit up this place! Mmmm so tasty! Wish I had some right now!

Dole Pineapple.
That’s what caught my eye as I passed by this otherwise overlooked shop.
I’m not a fan of self-​serve yogurt joints, but after bicycling on a hot summer day, anything fruity and refreshing sounded good to me. After that first visit, I was hooked!
Located next to Naga Thai by Horizon & 95, this frozen yogurt shop has your typical common flavors you commonly see, Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Red Velvet. In the span of all my visits in the last few weeks, I’ve tried every flavor. My favorites? Dole Pineapple (of course!), New York Cheesecake, Peanut Butter, & Cake Batter. I’ve sampled lots of flavors from Yogurtland, U-​Swirl, Yofresco, & Golden Spoon, & I NEVER cared for their versions. Yet, Island Frozen’s New York Cheesecake & Cake Batter is creamy, tasty, & yes, nonfat. Their Peanut Butter is awesome, I’m already thinking of what kind of chocolate I’ll mix with it next!
For those who are curious, or people from the Hawaiian Islands, this isn’t Dole Whip. I don’t believe there’s any dairy in there, since it’s labeled Lactose-​Free. It’s more of a sorbet texture & a sweet pineapple taste.
As you go grab your cup, you’ll see a clear case with cups already filled with waffle bowls. No charge for the waffle, but remember it’s included in your yogurt weigh-​in. I have found them to be stale at times.
Free WiFi.
There’s one TV that is usually playing a kid’s movie. Mulan was the feature presentation last time. There’s a few old-​fashion video arcade games located in the back for the older kids. There’s a small little kid’s table w/​those cutesy chairs. As a mother of a toddler, it’s very kid-​friendly. I like that.
Clean restrooms.
Toppings bar is always kept clean, fresh, and I love the variety. Fruit, cookies, chocolates, syrups, mochi, popping pearls, brownie bites…
They have what they call snow balls, but when I asked, they pretty much said it’s a shaved ice cone. I haven’t tried it, so I can’t judge how good it is.
They give a stamp card. 50 points will earn you $ 5 off. I’m surprised I’m not there yet.
So there it is. If you’re in the neighborhood, at least stop by to try their Dole Pineapple flavor. It’s yummy!

The main reason I like this place is their Dole pineapple froyo. I first had it at the Dole Plantation in Honolulu and it also reminds me of the Dole pineapple whip float at Tiki Room in Disneyland. All of which brings happy memories. They have other flavors too like red velvet, guava, cheesecake and others I can’t remember simply because I only want pineapple. It’s very good — tart and sweet at the same time. I was debating if I should get a plain pineapple yogurt and skip all the shenanigans or not. Ok, so, I added 2 pieces of pineapple, 3 slices of strawberry and some colorful mochi just to make it look pretty. Next time I come here, I’m bringing cold pineapple juice and I’m making my own Dole pineapple whip float.
This is located next to a Thai restaurant and a Tropical Smoothie Café I used to go to when I was still going to school in this part of town. I’m going to tell you right now, if you need napkins, they’re to the right of the yogurt station and behind you when you go pay for your yogurt. Yeah, the service tonight wasn’t island-​like (friendly and laid-​back). Not even a smile or «how are you doing?»

This little gem is located right next to Naga Thai restaurant on Horizon Ridge and Horizon. The shop is small and unassuming, but has everything you need in order to leave satisfied.
The yogurt flavor selections were more straight forward and not weird chemical concoctions that a lot of yogurt places boast. I opted for strawberry and vanilla with some white chocolate chips and sprinkles on top. It was around $ 4.
The yogurt was so delicious and rich. I know it was good because even my burps afterward were delicious ;). The service was very friendly and they have outdoor seating on the side of the building so that you can enjoy a beautiful view of the black mountain while indulging in your sweet treat.
The store boasts many fruit and non fruit toppings in addition to candy for sale.
