Bluekiwi

Having recently moved to Streetsboro I was on the hunt for a nearby frozen yogurt location. I was eager to find great reviews on Unilocal for this place. I checked their website and it said they were open until 10pm on Sunday evenings. So tonight we head there at 8:45pm to find them closed. Boo! There wasn’t even a sign on the door. I will happily update this when I’m able to try their frozen yogurtty goodness and hopefully I will be adding a number of stars.

I want to give this four stars. It reminds me of my favorite frozen yogurt place at home which is getting edged out by the Red Mangos of the world and «fancier» places that have neon decorations and bajillions of flavors and toppings.
I like this place because it isn’t excessive. So yeah they only have four flavors. Ohhh noooo! Deal with it and enjoy the four flavors they have. I’d say even the amount of toppings they have is extensive enough.
My complaint: I wanted all fruit toppings and I wanted a lot of them. I asked for banana, strawberry, mango and blueberries. I got two slices of banana, less than a tablespoon of diced strawberries, a decent amount of mango and like eight blueberries. This was all in their largest container which isn’t very large and amounted to $ 6something. This is why I would not compare this to Red Mango (per someone else’s review). I expected the girl would cut up more bananas or something. But no. I pretty much exhausted the fruit toppings they had available while paying $ 2 more than I would at Red Mango.
So yeah, I liked it, but I shouldn’t be charged whatever it is they charge for a single topping when that topping amounts to two slices of banana.

Went last Sunday for the first time. While the frozen yogurt was very tasty, I was not pleased with the inside of the store. Upon entering, I was hit with an extremely strong smell of bleach. After ordering, I sat my 15 month old grandson on the white bench to eat. After getting up, I noticed what I thought was a large stain on the back of his shorts, but then I realized that it was a bleach stain. I asked the young girl at the counter if she had just cleaned the bench with bleach and she said yes. I told her that she needed to make sure to rinse the bench or to make sure that it was completely dry when doing that, because the bleach ruined my grandson’s shorts. I sent an email to them via their website and unfortunately received no response at all. I don’t care about the shorts, I was more concerned that the bleach could have gotten on his skin. It was an unfortunate incident, but the lack of response is what really bothers me.

My favorite place EVER! Let me tell you…
I love the fact that I never feel guilty going for seconds if not thirds. I mean how many places can you get refreshing frozen yogurt that tastes better than ice cream… and the best part is that there is no added sugar or other preservatives that can be bad for you! On top of that, I can add more healthy toppings of choice including FRESH FRUIT!
I also love that I can hang out and draw on the wall. Blue Kiwi not only provides healthy desert, but it also allows and enables customers to interact with one another. Not many places (if any) out there create a friendly environment that makes it easy for social interaction.
The employees are very friendly and cooperate well with the customers. It is very clean and inviting.
Phenomenal job on having the idea and making healthy deserts available to everyone.
NOW, let start spreading the Blue Kiwi healthy love in every neighborhood in Greater Cleveland… That’s what I WANT TO SEE.

Concept: Love the concept of a healthy alternative to ice cream that is a good source of calcium, is low in cholesterol and sodium, and uses real dairy.
Environment: Very clean and fun environment. Has a giant dry-​erase wall that is fun to leave your signature or drawing.
Taste: Fantastic taste with lots of options. One will feel healthy after eating this healthy alternative and not feel guilty!
Customer service: High quality individuals who greet you with a smiling face and help guide you on tasty options.
Keep it going Bluekiwi!

Major disappointment for this new local yogurt shop.
I guess I was expecting a yogurt shop like you see elsewhere with lots of selection in flavors and great fresh toppings.
Instead, Blue Kiwi offered only four flavors, and extremely limited toppings. They didn’t even offer white chocolate chips or yogurt chips.
They lacked an original tart, but did offer California tart (whatever that is). Personally I felt it was a rip off at $ 3.50 for a small (July 2011). If this were the typical pay by the ounce frozen yogurt shop, I’d have received a lot more for my money, and probably would have been willing to spend more if they offered more selection and better quality.
If this place doesn’t re-​tool quickly with better product offerings they’re doomed. It’s a shame as I’d really like to see a high quality yogurt shop in town.
For anyone that’s written more than one review on this site, this certainly is not 5-​stars.

I was super-​excited to learn that there is finally a Froyo place closer to Kent than Cleveland! It’s about time that froyo found its way into the Ohio suburbs!
Like many other froyo places, bluekiwi has a variety of flavors and toppings to choose from. In my opinion, the one major drawback is that they do not have an «original tart» flavor as a regular option. Original tart is a must-​have option on a daily basis. That’s where froyo began!
On the day I ventured in, the flavors of choice were espresso, cheesecake, strawberry, and coconut. Toppings include all of the usuals from fresh fruit to fruity pebbles.
I opted for a combination of the strawberry and cheesecake, topped with cheesecake pieces. The yogurt was definitely missing the tartness that I love so much. In fact, I felt more like I was eating high-​quality soft-​serve ice cream than real froyo. Still, it was good and it hit the spot on a hot summer day.
The décor of the place is what you’d except from a froyo establishment: bright, colorful, and modern. One wall is adorned with a huge dry-​erase board so you can graffiti up the place before you go.
Worth a visit if you don’t want to hike to Cleveland, but it misses the mark of a true froyo experience.
