Pinkberry

It’s a sad day for this particular Pinkberry store to close down, and will be replaced by a cupcake store called Casey’s Cupcakes. Pinkberry is part of our ritual when we visit Irvine. There are lots of yogurt place out there but nothing taste like Pinkberry. I wish the Casey’s Cupcakes the best of luck…

Austin and Stacey are awesome!
I love fellow yogurt geeks. Austin and I had a little debate about what tart flavor is better. He also recommends the extra sauce on the pomegranate. Loved it. They hooked up the yogurt since they were closing.

We dropped in here while waiting to go in for our movie at the Edwards next door. In a nutshell, Pinkberry is significantly overpriced for the quantity they serve you.
We are used to the frozen yogurt places where you serve yourself and pay by the weight. At this place, they serve you themselves and you pay a fixed price for the chincey amount they give you.
Seriously, I ordered the large size cup but the dude filled it with a medium amount of yogurt. Then he delicately sprinkled a few crumbs of almond roca for a topping. It was $ 5.95. I pay less than that for more yogurt and topping at the serve-​yourself places.
My girlfriend ordered a small with raspberry topping. She got a mini-​mound of yogurt with just 6 little raspberries on top. It was $ 4.95. It would be half that price at a serve-​yourself place.
Also, they don’t serve regular vanilla, only vanilla-tart…and it’s overly tart.
If you care about quantity for your money, this is not the place to go for frozen yogurt.

For some reason, I’ve avoided this place like the plague…
1) My VERY first experience at Pinkberry (at least 3 – 4 years ago) was so bad that I never wanted to come back again.
2) I really felt like I should give it one last try… just in case.
3) I still don’t like the fact that it’s NOT self-​serve… depending on the employee, they will give you different size portions… :(
Came here around Christmas time… after having several tasters, I decided on GINGERBREAD & MANGO in a waffle cone!
(I know it might sound nasty to you, but these two were the bomb flavors!!)
It may not go well together, but I was crazing a holiday flavor (gingerbread) + after trying the Mango I couldn’t resist! The mango is soo good!
After giving it one last try I realized:
1) Pinkberry’s yogurt texture is unique in its own way — sour/​creamy
2) Pinkberry does a GOOD job with their fruit flavors: Pomegranate, Mango, etc.
3) Plain Tart = TART!
4) Option of waffle cone!!! :)
5) Pinkberry employees CONTROL how much yogurt & toppings! (not a fan!)

I’ve changed my mind and switched to lol (lots of love) for Pinkberry!
I just needed to try the flavored variety and I was hooked into the cold creaminess of their much higher quality yogurt. I’m now the Duchess and am willing to drive a bit farther to get the good stuff. Flavors do rotate and I’m loving the pomegranate right now, but miss the peach and strawberry and plain old chocolate.
Tip: punch cards are going away, along with other relics of the stone age and Pinkberry is moving on up into the future. Starting some time in October, they will have an app for smartphones that keeps track and will tell you when you’ve earned your freebie (after 10).

I LOVE Pinkberry. Their yogurt is so refreshing, tart, and their fruit is really fruit. I like to keep it simple and usually just get Original Tart. It’s a good creamy complement to the fruit toppings, but the other flavored tart yogurts are good too.
They have a new Chocolate Hazelnut flavor that is amazing. It’s tastes like a lighter, colder, version of Nutella. I was totally regretting not getting a full size of it after sampling it.
My only gripe is that it’s really expensive. Expect to pay as much as a meal.

This is the frozen yogurt shop you come to if you like toppings.
Basically you have the base price for the yogurt and an additional set price for toppings. You can choose up to 5 different toppings, and they’ll give you enough to fill your cup.
The downside to Pinkberry is the price. It’s a lot more expensive than Golden Spoon and Yogurtland.
I have however found the employees at all the Pinkberry locations I have visited, including this one, to be extremely friendly.

With all of the competition out there, you would think they would have better value. My husband and I were helped by a dude who was sooo skimpy with his servings. I ordered a cone and the yogurt barely came up over the top of the cone. He ordered a small and it was the same thing. tiny! We haven’t been to a pinkberry in a while. But when we left after spending nearly 8 bucks on tasters… we regretted going back. meh…

I’m obsessed with frozen yogurt. Obsessed.
So when I visited California, Pinkberry was one of the first spots on my list of places to try.
Unlike the froyo shops I’ve been to, Pinkberry is not self serve. Boo.
However, the delicious yogurt more than makes up for that.
My order? Original tart yogurt with mango and cinnamon streusel. Perfect every time. I didn’t even care to try any of the other flavors (they have 5 or 6) or toppings (dozens).
I can’t wait to return to California for more of this crack… err…froyo.

The ingredients here were really fresh. The blueberries were plump, sweet and perfect. The mochi was soft inside and out. The service was quick and friendly. There are plenty of places to sit outside or inside. I would definitely come back.

Frozen Yogurt makes me very happy. I’ve tried A LOT of frozen yogurt and I’ve come to the conclusion that Pinkberry has the best Original Tart I’ve ever tasted. I’ve tried the other flavors here but in the end there is nothing quite like their original frozen yogurt.
I find their toppings to be a bit more fresh than the other places. Especially the fruit. Very fresh. I am OBSESSED with their chocolate crunch. God forbid, how can anything taste so amazing? They look kind of unappetizing but trust me, it is mind-​blowing.
It is a bit more expensive. I admit that but the quality makes up for it. And they do have a stamp card which is nice. I’ve never had to wait that long for Pinkberry but there is usually SOME wait. Another plus is that Pinkberry really looks adorable. So it’s a good place to catch up with friends.
I love you Pinkberry. ⁵⁄₅

I REALLY LIKED THEIR NEW PEACH YOGURT.
I REALLY LIKED THEIR NEW LYCHEE YOGURT.
TRY THEM.
And add mochi, berries, some granola, and then look up and thank God for a great party going on in your mouth.
And yes, it’s a little pricey BUT LETS IGNORE THAT FOR NOW.
Maybe I have a thing for these flavors but Yogurtland, Yogurtworld, YogurtETC seem to not have the freshness and perfection of these two flavors. I really hope I’m not the only one who thinks this way, but that doesn’t matter, I’m not writing my review for your approval. SMH.
(oh and I have a feeling if you get this to-​go, you will be waived sales tax. I believe).

I’m sure everyone knows about Pinkberry now so I won’t write a general review. This review is to inform Unilocal of the two new flavors and the two they retired.
First, the retired flavors — Lychee and Green Tea. Damn, I can’t believe they retired those flavors cuz they were the BOMMB. Especially Lychee with lime — it was like my replacement flavor for Original Tart. Well o well.
Now for new flavors — Sea Salt Caramel and Watermelon. These two are actually pretty damn good. I went inside and asked for a sample, having my mind made up already to get a small original. Instead, I ended up getting half Caramel and half Watermelon because they were both so good. I think the Sea Salt Caramel is a bit better — it’s actually pretty addicting with the sea salt sprinkled on top. The Watermelon is good too, but it doesn’t taste like watermelon at all. Tastes more like the acai berry flavor from Ce Fiore.
Lastly I would like to say Pinkberry is superior to Yogurtland. THATS RIGHT, I SAID IT!

I have been seriously neglecting Pinkberry for a good couple of months.
After a hard workout at the gym tonight, our group decided to head over for a healthy snack… Pinkberry :) I know, I know, but I rationalized that SINCE it’s frozen yogurt, it won’t be SO bad for me. Right? :D
The three toppings that I recommend getting here are:
1. Cinnamon Strussel (I love those crunchy little sugary morsels! YUM!)
2. Milk Chocolate shavings (Since the shavings are so thin, they melt as soon as it touches it your tongue. Plus, they provide a little bit of a crunch so it’s fun to eat)
3. Pumpkin Spice (I’m not sure how long this topping has been out, but when I tried it today, my brain was jolted awake! I love the cinnamon, crunch and spice to it. It was a little bit chewy too, so it makes for a really like texture when you mix that with the frozen yogurt).
What can I say? I’m a plain gal and I love all of those toppings with the original flavor.
This location is really convenient and is open late (11 pm), so it’s nice if you get out of a movie and head over to Pinkberry for a nice refreshing snack. Most of the time, this store is crowded, so it does get a little bit annoying. It isn’t the cleanest Pinkberry I’ve been to (there was a little fly buzzing over the fruits *shudders*) and I really don’t like the overcrowding, so that’s why I’m giving it a 3 star.
But, I’ll probably be coming back again soon. Nothing like a refreshing dessert after a hard workout :)

After an hour workout in Turbo Kick Boxing at the 24 Hour Fitness at the Spectrum, I decided that being counter productive was in the mix after one hell of a week (thus far) and made my way over to Pinkberry.
I walked in at 8ish, all sweaty and gross from my workout. The guy behind the counter didn’t even give me a second glance, I guess a lot of people work out than go to Pinkberry. Go figure. All of us counter productive people!
He asked me if I wanted to try a sample of Watermelon, so I said sure. The sample didn’t really taste like Watermelon to me, but it was sweet enough and satisfied my taste buds and I was wanting to try something new. So… mini Watermelon with Strawberry topping – to justify that I was getting FroYo after a workout – here I come! $ 2.95 for a mini with a topping isn’t too bad and it left me full and satisfied.
Store is clean and the few times I’ve been in this location the staff has been friendly too! Works for me. Overall, Pinkberry isn’t my fave FroYo place to go, but it’ll satisfy my needs after a hard core workout… happy eating!!!

I was pleased to find that they have a 4 oz size for under $ 3 now. This mini size is just right for me. I like the pomegranate flavor, next time I’ll try chocolate. The coconut flavor is a little disappointing, but I remember back when they had only two flavors: original and green tea. Having more options to choose from is a good thing.
I think that out of the major frozen yogurt chains, Red Mango has the best, creamiest taste but Pinkberry is a close #2. Too bad you can’t pile on toppings — that’s what makes Yogurtland fun. I do have to say that Pinkberry gives a reasonable amount of toppings. You can’t beat its location by the movie theater.

Brought a newb here and told them to brace themselves for the music, but thankfully, Electric Feel was playing.
I ordered plain tart with some fresh mango and proceeded to indulge in some creamy goodness. For me, Pinkberry still reigns supreme in both taste and smooth texture a la soft serve style.
I hadn’t had it a while (it IS on the spendy side) but it tasted extra extra good.

They have chocolate flavor yogurt now and it is rich tasting.
Small chocolate with peppermint shavings, oreo cookies and white chocolate shavings is a nice afternoon treat.
5 bucks for a small fro-​yo with unlimited toppings is still kinda pricey to me though.

Yummmm! 1 small Passion Fruit flavor with mango and strawberry topping on a hot summer day; that definitely hit the spot. (
) The passion fruit flavor was delightfully refreshing. The fruit toppings were fresh, but were not quite yet ripe (too firm for my liking, especially the mango). I’m glad my gf didn’t have much of an appetite that day because I got to have all of it to myself =P
Although the quality of the tart froyo is topnotch, the one thing that really turns me off about this place is the price. $ 4.95 for a small with toppings? What the eff?!? During these times when I’m cashstrapped, I’ll be sticking with Red Mango. It’s around the same quality as Pinkberry, but its cheaper. But when I want to indulge, I’ll come here =)

I love this crap. Usually anytime I am near one I try to eat it.
I always get the Original. It is tart and zesty. Its served extremely cold, a little icy and depending on the size you ordered you can pick a few toppings from fresh fruits to cereals and different candies.
My girlfriend ordered the Original with Blueberry’s, Strawberry’s and Granola. I helped her eat it. It was fantastic and left me wanting more. I haven’t had a bad experience here yet.
I say you have to try this if you haven’t had it yet.
Good Stuff!
