Fru-Lala

Still a fan but now that its SELF SERVE its close competition to Chilly Billy’s down the street
They also have a ton of toppings with plenty of fresh fruit. One thing that beats out the other is fresh Belgian waffles that you can make yourself sure it might take a min and can be messy but that’s the fun revealing the big waffle to top off with whatever you want.
I like to come here to study because they have plenty of arm space, good music, food and coffee plus tea. Overall a win win situation that keeps me addicted.

Stumbled upon this place and really liked the frozen yogurt. Also got a latte that was better than most

First let me start with how amazing the décor is here! It sets such a fun atmosphere, and the people who work here are so friendly! They have a huge selection in toppings and all of the frozen yogurt flavors are really tasty. Not to mention how cheap it is! I’m seriously in love with this yogurt shop.

I am a whore for tart yogurt. There. Bias already out there on the table.
Fru-​Lala is GORGEOUS. It’s almost worth it just to go there to see the place. The décor is fabulous, with stark white tables and clear chairs. It’s far beyond anything I’ve ever seen in Dinkytown and looks insanely high-​end.
Fortunately for college students (and the rest of us), it’s not high-​end at all when it comes to plunking down cash for what’s behind the counter. The yogurt is very reasonably priced, there are a wide variety of options for toppings (including mochi! EEEEE!), and you can get coffee to warm yourself up afterwards if necessary. The yogurt itself isn’t anything above and beyond any other yogurt shop, but that’s just kinda how yogurt shops roll. It’s quick, tasty, practically free of fat, and all kinds of yummy.
They also have a $ 14 beast of a yogurt that feeds four people. Keep that in mind when you’re out with friends… or if you’re in need of one hell of a sugar rush.
If I don’t get back to Fru-​Lala, I will slap myself.

This is the closest thing you will find to Pinkberry in NY. The original and pomegranate flavors are a little less tart than what I am used to in Pinkberry but the yogurt is delicious nonetheless. I love their mutilcolored mochi pieces and fresh fruit toppings. I come here on a weekly basis during the summertime.

Frozen Yogurt has an uncanny ability to satisfy a craving for something sweet and delicious. Fru-​Lala has yet to disappoint me, which is why I am proud to say my frequent-​indulger punch card is almost full.
Located right in the heart of Dinkytown, Fru-​Lala is a great place to go with close college friends for a treat in the summer or winter! I have never tried the smoothies or the coffee products, but the pomegranate yogurt is a treat that I am very familiar with. Add on some raspberries and mochi, and you will have created the most tart, chewy, and delicious treat.
I have heard that this business was started by 2 U of M graduates, so it is nice to know you are supporting some locals as well!

Before reading the rest of this just know that all fro-​yo taste the same to me. I come back for the convenience, the awesome toppings selection, and because of the price.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, Fru-​la-​la is conveniently located by the U of M and by my family’s favorite restaurant. They have mochi (which no many fro-​yo places in MN offer), and the price is decent. For a medium fro-​yo w/​the choice of three toppings is about $ 5.
Fru-​la-​la also offers bing soo. For $ 13 it feeds 3 – 5 people.
Clean, friendly service, bright, and they offer free wifi for you college students!

I did give it 4 stars.
It is my favorite yogurt place in Minnesota.
I just hate the fact that it isn’t self serve.
The yogurt here is very good. The prices are a little high comparatively, but it is amazing. They have good study hour specials. I love that they sell marble drinks, this is a must have.

I find their frozen yogurt delicious! And the toppings are fresh and amazing, I particularly enjoy the fresh fruit with mochi.
However, I do not visit here often because I find the price outside my icecream/​frozen treat budget (I find myself paying ⁴⁄₅ dollars, while i would prefer to pay ²⁄₃ dollars).
Also, although the interior is clean with lots of seating, it is poorly decorated and more sterile than cozy.
I hope this business succeeds, and will probably return.

It’s so darn pretty inside. Came with my father and sister. My father, poor soul, did not partake in the yogurt eating as he was too full from breakfast at Swede Hollow Café. I purchased the tart yogurt (at least I think that is what it was called) topped with mango. Very yummy. The tartness was surprising but a welcome taste. The staff were helpful and let us sample it before we bought it. A delightful place to come in the hotter days of Minnesota.

I love how fresh their toppings are and that they change their yogurt flavors fairly often! What I do not like is that I cannot personally put in my own yogurt and add my own toppings and pay by weight like Yogurtland does.
Fru-​lala is a very nice and clean shop, and the yogurt is good as well as the toppings are fresh. However I wouldn’t pay the prices for a personal serving of yogurt.
Street parking isn’t that friendly either being that this shop is in Dinkytown and street parking is sparse. If there is a designated parking lot for Fru-​lala I am not aware of it.
I am only giving this four stars because they serve patbingsu (Korean shaved ice) which is fantastic and a must have! They say you need 4 — 6 people but 3 — 4 is good enough to finish one serving! It’s delicious.
Otherwise I would give it 3 stars.

Just moved from Cali and I was craving my Pinkberry so I thought I would give this place a try. The taste is very authentic and I quite enjoyed the watermelon flavor. It brought back a familiar taste but my boyfriend, who is diabetic ate just a small cup of this stuff and it sent his blood sugar skyrocketing!
They did not have any nutritional info signs on the wall like they do at a lot of the fro-​yo places so we didn’t know how much sugar was in it. They did not have any «no sugar added» options either. :(
Try the yogurt place on the 3^rd floor of mall of america if your diabetic it has some sugar free options and a lot more flavors too!

This place is great! I’ve been waiting for fro yo place to come to MPLS and it’s delicious! The tart flavor is my favorite. The toppings are good — wish they had a little bigger assortment but it’s still good. It’s a little easy to miss if you’re cruising through Dinkytown, maybe they could get a bigger sign?

Cute little fro-​yo place located right in Dinkytown. Free wi-​fi great selections. Can’t go wrong here.

Minnesotans! This is a textbook California fro-​yo place. Owned and operated by cool Korean folks, right on the main drag of restaurants in Dinkytown. You can get Chinese food on one side of the street and cross over to get dessert/​coffee on the other side of the street! I wish we lived closer.
Free wifi, clean, lots of topping choices. I concur with the other review that mentions mochi… yep. I agree. And get the tart – all the other stuff isn’t for true fro-​yo lovers. ;)
They have short hours on Sundays (just 12 – 7) but other than that, not one thing wrong.

The first frozen yogurt place in Dinkytown that I’ve come across. The California tart is amazing and definitely different from the normal vanilla. A great buffet of toppings, varying from your normal fruits to lychee, and puppy chow, and some candies as well. Really great for the summer time and it gives Dinkytown something refreshing besides the go around of ice cream and heavy smoothies at Pot Bellies. Cute décor and nice place to sit besides the coffee shop.

Finally a place to buy frozen yogurt near the U of M campus! I tried the pomegranate and California tart with mochi, both of which I would recommend. The price was reasonable at under $ 4 for a small serving with topping.
They have a range of fro-​yo with the typical toppings you might find at a Pinkberry or Red Mango, along with smoothies, tea, and coffee.
