Orange Leaf

I would love to tell you all about how great Orange Leaf’s froyo is, but, alas, I cannot, since they apparently close several hours prior to the time listed on their website and printed on their door.
I went out of my way to go there on a freezing cold night, and they had closed not even at the revised closing time, but at 5 minutes before it :(:(:(

I swung by here after catching the movies nearby. Just needed to have my froyo fix and figured, why not try something new?
The people working there are unworldly nice. It’s almost surreal. But a very nice touch, and it will make your froyo experience that much more pleasant.
Lots of unique flavors that you don’t find in other froyo places… which is also nice.
I would recommend coming here if you feel like you want a cool alternative to 16 Handles or other nearby froyo spots in the area.

I used to have dutchess status at 16 Handles (until someone else took it from me *shake fist in air*)… so it means something that I came into another yogurt establishment. I LOVE everything about 16 handles. and coming to Orange Leaf I was kinda of. ‘eh’. I didn’t like how if you want a sample of something, someone waits on you. I like to stand there are read the signs of the flavors for. a longer period of time than someone is willing to stand there and wait for me to decide… and once I do. then they make the tiniest, tiniest little sample. I’m not saying I need a huge sample, I’m saying that I’d like to actually be able to taste the yogurt.
I will admit that flavor is spot on. Oatmeal cookie tastes like. well guess what, just like an oatmeal cookie. The peanut butter is a strong flavor and there aint a doubt in my mind it’s peanut butter. It’s good.
Ultimately it’s self serve for the yogurt and toppings. The price was more than I pay at 16 handles.
I thought the whole experience was fine. Would I be back? No, my allegiance is still with 16 handles.

Two words: YUM and Expensive!
(Brownie batter rocks!!!)

I like this place because the staff is over the top happy to see you every time; I bring my 11 yr old daughter after
School often and they love to talk about the flavors, the ingredients etc; I like chocolate peanut butter but there is something for everyone. Today they showed us a spec sheet on next months special flavors (I guess it’s a franchise), I can’t say the yogurts world class but its just so nice to be treated well; I do think the prices are a bit high ($ 13 for 2 cups seems a bit much) but everything is fresh, so I guess it costs. Today they had fresh baked chocolate cookies to put in the yogurt which was so decadent, But of course irresistible.

When I first entered Orange Leaf, I was greeted with smiles: all of the staff seemed genuinely happy. Cutting up fresh strawberries and offering tastes of various flavors of yogurt was done with enthusiasm. I’ve been to my fair share of frozen yogurt shops and have seen my fair share of emotionless faces who clearly hate their job; this was not the case with Orange Leaf. The many windows let in a ton of natural sunlight and brightened everything up a bit. I was comfortable, happy, and excited to try the product.
Like many frozen yogurt shops, there were sixteen different flavors to choose from. I chose to get a wide variety. A friend joined me on my froyo excursion, so between the two of us we were able to get six different flavors. One of the best aspects of Orange Leaf is the optional cup divider. I had never seen cup dividers before, but they are amazing! If you’re a frequent froyo consumer, you know the difficulty in choosing what flavors will blend together the best. You can’t get Coconut and Peanut Butter or Mango and Coffee without the yogurts blending together to make a multi-​colored mess that tastes like a bunch of foods that were thrown into a blender. With the dividers, one has three separated sections, with no unnecessary combining of flavors. Just pop one in and you’re all set! Altogether we tried Watermelon, Pomegranate, Chocolate Raspberry, Peanut Butter, Wedding Cake, and of course the classic Tart. All of the flavors tasted great and were incredibly accurate to their name! Topped with both regular and sour gummy worms, peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, and fruit, I was very satisfied and was given a really great first impression.
Compared to other froyo places I’ve visited, Orange Leaf is intimate yet energetic and definitely a nice change in scenery from the 16 Handles or Pinkberry franchises I seem to see on every street corner. Whether it’s their Ounce Card, giving you a money-​back point for every yogurt purchased, or the Ipad sitting in the store allowing customers to register for a rewards card or to begin following Orange Leaf on Twitter or Facebook, this yogurt shop seems to stand out. Convenience and quality are definitely priorities.
My first visit will definitely not be my last; I would highly recommend a visit to Orange Leaf. Wedding Cake flavored froyo – need I say more?

This place is on my block so I go all the time. Lots of yummy flavors and they mark which ones are gluten free, which is nice. I like the wedding cake and coconut. There was a marshmellow one that was my fave, but I haven’t seen it in a while. The reason for 3 stars rather than 4 is the price. I think it’s on the higher end… still will go since it’s so close!

I liked the yogurt a little but the customer service was horrendous. One of the employees was texting. I got some cookie dough and when I was done putting it on my fro –yo, she said put the empty cups back where I found it. Pretty unsanitary. also the hot fudge ran out but the employee was to lazy to get it and instead told me to get chocolate sauce

Some really good flavors here, including wedding cake. I did find it annoying to have to wait for someone to come and give me a sample when most places have sample cups sitting for self-​service. I did also pay about 25% more than other places for similar quantity.

This is my happy place! If u want to make yourself feel better go directly to orange leaf! I love that I have several flavor selections and I can fill my cup as little or as much as I want. Excellent seating and layout. This place is perfection for the neighborhood and us Gramercy residents thank The Lord that this space is not another nail salon!

Far superior to Red Mango, have a few dairy free options (actually tasty too), all the right toppings, and a friendly staff.

Standard froyo joint. With the exception that they have a flavor called brownie batter which basically tastes like triple chocolate, great for chocolate lovers, the plain chocolate flavor doesn’t even register on my taste buds after sampling the brownie batter. Plus they have waffle cone bits to top it off with, do I have terrible memory or is this the only place I’ve ever seen with this topping option? Spread the news, it’s a great idea.

All out of sample cups? Lies.
I always like to eat a good pound of yogurt in samples before purchasing any, but this was especially frustrating since there were so many different flavors available here that you don’t see in the other chains, such as Cookie Cake, Brownie Batter, and Root Beer, just to name a few.
So I went for the Cookie Cake and Brownie Batter, which were pretty good (basically just Chocolate and Cookies & Cream, respectively).
The toppings bar was great too, with just about all of the usual stuff you would expect at a reputable yogurt chain.
Another cool thing here that I’ve only seen at Yoogler’s so far is the dividers for the cups, which allow you to try a bunch of different things without making a big mess of a mix.
I might have to stop by a 16 Handles next time on the way and grab a few sample cups to return here to try some more of these great flavors.

Walking in, the doorman exuberantly opens the door and greets you, offering you samples and anything else you may like. All the samples he finishes off to a nice little twirl which I thought was a nice touch.
They have a lot of different flavors, some unique, some standard. I thought the vanilla cake tasted like a vanilla protein shake — which I liked.
Their toppings bar sets Orange Leaf apart from the rest, which TONS of toppings to choose from you’re going to find a bunch of things to add flare to your creation.
It is self serve, at about .65 $ an ounce, and they have a good amount of seating. Convenient location? Sure if you’re in the area. Very clean establishment and the customer service is practically black-​tie quality.

Terrible. Stay away.
The obnoxious music is some kid’s iPhone. You can’t just look around and figure out what you want without some other kid making it awkward. If I wanted a sample… I’d ask. My lady and I got to the front and it was $ 25 for the two of us. The same portion anywhere else has never been more than $ 14. We walked out and the kid behind the counter threw them away. Bad business.
Never going to the Orange Leaf again. The best FroYo near Gramercy is Tasti D-​Lite or 16 Handles. Both are a walk but totally worth it. Their customer service has never been rude or obnoxious and it’s always a decent price.

Love this place. Try the red velvet. Good hot fudge. Creative flavors. Its a chain but a good one. Nice staff.

Finally a great yogurt place in my neighborhood very creamy and flavorful and so many different types of flavors
I don’t have to schlep over to the other horrible yogurt place which weighs my yogurt every time and only offers three different flavors
That place is so cheap in comparison and it’s name is pink berry
Orange leaf kills that place It will probably put pink berry out of business

Awesome! Self serve with lots of choices of add ins (toppings). Get the Loyalty card it is a great deal! Clean!!! This is a brand new place. My daughter goes frequently and continues to live it!

Made Fresh daily! Wedding cake is an awesome flavor
