Berkshire Yogurt

Delicious. Tart. Fruity. Sweet. And yes, I am describing myself — not the frozen yogurt here.
I am a big frozen yogurt fan (or USED to be). The only reason I went here was because the server was really cute (this Irish kid with baby blue eyes).
Second and foremost of all, I had just taken a bike ride before I went into the shoppe. And who doesn’t get sweaty when they’re biking? Obviously, the employees at this place don’t get sweaty, because they charged me 50 cents extra for having armpit stains.
*facepalm*

Clean store, well organized. Very fresh ingredients. A great experience. The interior is really nice.
Flavors are good. Well mixed, lots of options.
I recommend.

I think this is froyo for people who hate yogurt.
The froyo here was
1) expensive — $ 0.55/oz!!! Hold up, I have to check my bank statement and evaluate my priorities real quick.
2) runny — NEVER a good adjective. The first pump of froyo looked not dissimilar to the first squeeze of ketchup with all that gross, watery, ketchup precum and floating tomato solids. No one wants to see that. Put that away. Personally, I think froyo should be so thick and creamy it stands up straight! Stiff peaks, yo! The stiffer the better! But alas, the little tail part was limp and sad and maybe needed to consult a Urologist and/​or Psychiatrist.
3) candy — it’s a rare thing to simultaneously feel your teeth rotting and brain freeze. This place gets points on the intensity of their flavors, but I think froyo should have a milder flavoring, personally.
Maybe you’d like this place if you want to buy into the healthy bullshit about froyo but don’t want to give up ice cream or you really like expensive half-​solid diabetes.
The actual experience of eating here is also kind of unpleasant? There’s no table seating and there’s hardly anyone ever inside except for the aggressively disaffected aging hipster at the counter (who wins all the awards for all the adjectives. I’ve never seen a better impression, truly) and the fake aquarium on the TV is more depressing than delightful. BY has kind of an Edward Hopper’s NIGHTHAWKS feel to it, or maybe (probably) that’s my personal neuroses (you see mediocre yogurt? I only see dick jokes).
You should suffer the line anywhere else. I wanted to like you Berkshire Yogurt, but you were kind of a shitty date.

I have to say I was not a fan of this place (and I love self serve froyo). Got there at about 7:45 PM on a Saturday night and there was a hand written sign on the door saying they would be closing at 8. Figured 15 minutes would be long enough to make a cup and take it to go we decided to go in. Sadly we were met by rather cold looks from the servers.
As far as the actual Froyo goes, it was also just ok. Not a huge selection of choices, and the toppings were the usual. Most were pretty good, but the cookie dough pieces were gross.
Probably wouldn’t stop here again.

I can’t tell you how happy I am that this is place exists in Northampton. I just moved here from NYC an was worried I wouldn’t be able to get my FroYo fix. Its not «real» yogurt like Pinkberry or Go Berry, its more like fat free soft serve. They have flavors that rotate daily and weekly. It is almost as good as 16 Handles back in NYC. Almost, but still good enough for me to go 4 times a week.

Hallelujah. For once, I stepped inside a froyo place and it didn’t have pink or pastel colored walls. How dare these guys break from the cookie cutter pattern set forth by hundreds of other froyo places in the country? Didn’t they get the memo?
But seriously, this place is tastefully decorated with bright yet warm natural colors. The saw-​cut log counter top is a real work of art and quite a sight to see.
The frozen yogurt was very good (firm and not watery) and the machines worked very well (with finesse and not the force of a broken fire hydrant).
The only downside is that the price is 55 cents per ounce, which is kinda on the high side in the froyo circle of things.
Looking for some where else to go afterwards? Perhaps do what I did and go directly across the street to Roost Café for a nightcap or a cup of Joe. Just so you know, the latter is a beverage so famous, they named it after me. Just so you know.

Eh. Not horrible but I think I prefer actual ice cream or real frozen yogurt like goberry. This seems like wanna be ice cream frozen yogurt. Silly enough I ate here then went directly to the other froyo place down the street for a direct comparison. One main thing I noticed was this froyo was a lot softer and more melty here. It could have been a lot colder and still be soft serve. I had to make my daughter’s then pay, then make mine because hers was getting all melty while putting the toppings on. The second direct comparison is you can tell how fresh the other froyo place is in all their ingredients, you can just taste it. They both have tons of topping options. I also don’t prefer the weighing to determine price, kind of scares me a little. I do know a lot of people that prefer berkshire, but I guess thats why they are called opinions. Try doing the direct comparison and see which you like better???

Was visiting family, and they brought us here for desert after a blah dinner. The night finally got interesting when we walked in here. After living in NYC, I have an obsession with DIY fro-​yo after having 16 Handles shops all around the city. Since moving back to MA this summer, I have had 2 fro-​yo experiences and they were nothing close to my beloved 16-​H. But, this place was a valid contender as amazing fro-​yo in my eyes.
I think there were about 8 flavors. I had vanilla, raspberry and Dutch chocolate with Oreos, graham crackers, chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries. My boyfriend had angel food cake and they also had honey lavender. both different and delicious. We also paid $ 20 for 4 people’s creations, so I think the price was lower than I’ve ever paid.
Great atmosphere with the cool tree trunk bar and crazy real looking fish tank screen saver. And pretty damn good fro-​yo.

A very nice soft-​serve yogurt place with tons of toppings (including fresh fruit) and interesting flavors.
There’s not much more to say except it was friendly service and very allergy conscious. Offered to bring out more toppings that were cross-​contamination free. That’s a big plus. Otherwise, a nice place to go after a meal.

I really enjoy serving myself. Sometimes I want a lot of yogurt and others not so much. A little while ago I stopped by and they had Chocolate Sorbet, which was amazing. Super fudgey but non-​dairy! I think it’s fun to check out when you’re in Noho, but probably not something I would travel far to visit — if you are coming from far away, I recommend first visiting their facebook page to see the current flavors so that you know what to expect!

Pretty space, but underwhelming yogurt. Not impressed with the mass produced quality of it, or the knowledge it is shipped up from the mid-​Atlantic (Jersey? PA?). The usual assortment of flavors and toppings, certainly nothing impressive, local, or fresh. Also, the woman managing the store was unwelcoming when I walked in.

Not quite the quality of goberry but much better yogurt than the average self serve yogurt place. It’s a good place to go if you want more than one topping on your yogurt.

This place is amazing!
I’ve never seen anything like it. A must go destination when visiting Northampton.
Yum!

Just so-​so. The yogurt was tasty, but nothing exceptional, and it was some what pricey. The layout of the place was a bit awkward with the register and toppings towards the front and the self serve yogurt in the back, around a corner. The worst (and grossest) part of the place was that between the tight yogurt machine corner and the register where you pay by the weight of your creation, you put toppings on from a fully open topping bar with no covers or sneeze bar to protect the food. There were two women working when we went last Friday night. The younger woman was pleasant and really out to help. The older woman who was at the register, not so much — maybe even a bit on the unpleasant side. All in all, it’s not a place we’ll be heading back to. There are much better ice cream and frozen yogurt shops in Northampton.
