Frostbite Frozen Yogurt & Treats

So… I’m one of those «I like frozen yogurt becuase it tastes like ice cream but is supposedly healthier» people, and Frostbite is a shop truer to the yogurt taste than my liking. Even their flavors like «french vanilla» and «caramel» taste too much like yogurt. However, if that’s what you prefer, than this may be the place for you.
Unlike other fro-​yo locations, they are very hesitant to give samples– samples are the best part of fro yo! Yogurtland gives you like twelve sample cups so you can go to town… but I digress.
Family-​owned and very quaint, the atmosphere fits the small-​town feel of Freret st., but just not quite up to par.

I am a super big FroYo fan! If I know I could eat there everyday, it gets 5 stars. There are so many yogurt places, that one needs to be a little different to reach the 5^th star. Frostbite self-​serve hits it!
Frostbite does change it up a little. They have a «bottoms bar» separate from their «toppings» bar which I love! They have several items at their «Bottoms bar» such as fresh fruit, full cookies, yogurt raisins, etc. I loved the Red Velvet and Dark chocolate yogurt on the fruit. I then ventured to the «Toppings Bar» where I choose cookie crumbles and chocolate sprinkles with a dollop of Ghirardelli dark chocolate. Delicious!
Check it out! They also have seating!

Wow. Best fro-​yo I’ve ever had. The frozen yogurt was very tasty and had a more milk-​like consistency than what you usually get. The chocolate is incredible rich — I mixed it with a little pomegranate and wow. The add-​on ingredients were very fresh. They had these little juice balls — they looked like salmon roe, but we’re filled with mango and strawberry juice. When you bite into them, the juice explodes. Add it to the fro-​yo and the combination is absolutely incredible. I will be a regular.

This is the best frozen yogurt of all the self-​serve places in this city. Their red velvet cake and birthday cake, which conveniently are in the same machine and make a really good combo swirl, are the best! The consistency and richness are better than the other places. Bottoms bar is genius. The toppings had a great selection. The man who was working was really friendly, too.
This is my go-​to spot among all the choices.

I just stopped in to this frozen yogurt place that magically appeared on Freret St (he said they’d been there a week) and something caught my eye at the toppings bar…
«!? Is that… bacon!?»
«Yep.»
“GOOD LORD, MAN!”
«It’s been one of our most popular selections!»
…it wasn’t like bacon crumbles or bacon bits… it was strips of bacon sliced up into little half inch squares… the real deal. I’ve never heard of such a thing.
They sell yogurt by the ounce, they’re open until 9 pm, and there’s the aforementioned surprisingly thorough bottoms/​toppings bar… all good things, but they need smaller cups. The cup only weighs a little over half an ounce (don’t ask) but it’s damn big. I was trying to be relatively conservative and I still walked out with way too close to a pound for comfort. I guess it was relatively cheap, if it weren’t so hard to limit yourself. As big as those bowls are your layers would have to be really thin. It’s always good to see new stuff on Freret though, and at least it’s not some trendy franchise.
I didn’t get the bacon… but I’ve already planned out some possible combinations for the future.

I just hate to do this to a new place. But, Frostbite (is it only me or is this not a cheerful fun name but rather a scary name?) is not memorable. This city is practically teeming with the same frozen yogurt do-​it-​yourself concept places and the newest one is just meh.
It is the newest eatery on Freret, which stacks it up against popular places like Dat Dog and Cure. The inside is very small. Only three or four tables. Froyo is .45c an ounce and can add up quickly once you put toppings on. The assortment and variety of flavors and toppings (they also have toppings that go below the froyo… bottomings?) is good. But the lack of décor, the small size, and the overall ambiance make it less appealing than say Yogurtland or Pinkberry.
Sad to say, but we’ll probably head elsewhere for after school snack.

Just went here with my roommates after a yummy lunch at Midway. Sign up for their loyalty program via their Facebook page, it’s so worth it!
They had a great array of flavors, and a «bottom bar» which I thought was cute and unique. I got vanilla, red velvet cupcake, and cookies and cream. I was lost in a sugar frenzy and finished my 7 oz. cup in about 5 minutes. The lady working (i assume the owner) was very nice.
Their toppings selection is OUT OF CONTROL. Better than Yogurtland, better than Pinkberry. I will never go to either of these places again. Why go to a chain when you can support a local business and get the same quality product? I really hope that this business sticks around, it’s so nice having a local froyo place close to home.

Really great frozen yogurt! Not only do they have a great toppings bar but they also offer some «bottoms» to go as a base layer under the yogurt. Like Nilla wafers, granola and my personal fave, chocolate covered waffle cone– YUM!
Go check em out! Another great new business to the revitalized Freret St. scene! Welcome to the neighborhood, Frostbite. :D

just opened on booming freret st
i give it 4 stars because they have:
10 flavors on tap — all supperyumilicious.
my favorite is the california tart (pinkberry original but better). other good flavors: peanut butter, pomegranate, double chocolate.
self-​service toppings and bottoms
pricing by the ounce: $ 0.45/oz
a very friendly crew.
very elegant modern-​minimalist seating and tables
I hope the quality stays the same
the interior design could improve a bit through better lighting.
