Treat Petite Cafe

CLOSED. My greatest kefir has come true… Treat Petite has closed and is being replaced by Big Gay Ice Cream Shop.
Honestly, I will miss this place’s Key Lime Pie creation as much as I miss my mommy in Atlanta. This sucks.

It just like Pinkberry but they use Kefir, which I very much enjoy.

I love the Key Lime Pie Kefir! At first I thought I wouldn’t, since I’m not a big fan of key lime. I tried it and found it amazing. Every time i’m around the neighborhood I can’t help but drop by (even if I just had crepes). I can’t wait to try out their other sweets.

Seems pretty cool, nothing too spectacular.

Surgery with antibiotics thereafter along with drinking killed my stomach; did some research and figured the cure is probiotics. It just happened that this store is right beside my apartment. The classic flavor is a great treat everyday after work, and let’s just say that the kefir’s medical capacity is quite potent too.

The only reason I came here was because of a Scoutmob deal for a free Key Lime Kefir (which is just frozen yogurt apparently for lactose intolerant people).
The kefir tastes really good and I was not disappointed. In fact, since I didn’t have to pay and since the free size was so small, I figured I might as well try the Peanut Butter flavor while I was there. This one is even better. They have the standard yogurt shop toppings, and I got one of the suggested «sundaes» on the menu, which came with pretzel crisps and grape jelly on top. It’s a little ghetto that they just take out a bag of pretzel crisps and throw them on top and take out the the Smucker’s jelly bottle and squirt some all over it. The magic is lost a little when you see how easily you can do it all yourself at home.
The employees are very friendly and welcoming and the place is nice and clean with plenty of seating as well. But there are so many better options right in the area and close by enough (Phileo, 16 Handles) that I can’t really see myself returning unless there’s another offer for a free cup.

Perfect frozen treat on hottest night of the summer! So thick and creamy. it didn’t melt fast like the others.
Pomegranate was the best flavor. The chocolate had a strange flavor and the coconut a weird aftertaste.
Think I have to go back to try that Key Lime Pie or salted caramel concoction.
From what little I know, kefir is healthier — more probiotics. so I’ll stick with this as a summer treat, since I’m *trying* to get healthier.
$ 10.87 for 2 mediums without toppings — generous portion though.
Loyalty card– buy 10– 11^th is free. Love that!

The staff here are very sweet and helpful. Their classic frozen kefir was just the thing to cool us down after walking around in 100-​degree weather. We’ll be back.

CUTE CAFE serving up savory & sweet crepes, waffles, coffee, & frozen yogurt!
we took advantage of the scoutmob deal for the free petite sized «key lime» frozen yogurt
—i liked the dessert w/​the key lime syrup & crushed graham cracker topping!
one downside to their frozen yogurt… its a bit expensive, but ATLEAST their frozen yogurt is made w/​kefir, a probiotic dairy product!

A great light treat. the frozen kefir is the best. I love the peanut butter, original and strawberry banana. The caramelized pineapple is good too. You can mix which is a plus. The key lime pie creation is an amazing indulgence. Try sample then commit to the deliciousness.

YUM! I found out about this place from the Scout Mob deal as many others have said and I am so glad I did! The Key Lime frozen Kefir was amazing! It was a perfectly balanced sweet and tangy treat. I will definitely be back!

My first experience with kefir frozen yogurt was at Starfruit in Chicago, and I was absolutely hooked. Imagine being able to fulfill my creamy desires without my lactose intolerance kicking in; it was a heavenly concept. So, when I learned about the opening of Treat Petite, I could barely contain myself. I even located a deal via the Scoutmob app for a free «Key Lime Pie» signature sundae cup. My mouth watered at the sound of the refreshing treat, and I rushed over to give it a shot.
The café resembled many other yogurt shops, but had a homier feel versus the futuristic vibe at Pinkberry, for example. The counter area was spotless, and there were several tables available for comfortable seating. The service was also rather friendly, even after they learned we were going to be ordering free cups. The Key Lime concoction included a helping of classic-​flavored kefir, topped with a tangy key lime custard and a dusting of sweet graham cracker crumbs. The lime curd added a powerful flavor to the dessert, which I decided made it one of the best snacks in the city. The small cup was just as delightful as a real slice of pie and delivered all of the same complimentary ingredients.
Treat Petite was a fabulous addition to the neighborhood. Its innovative and flavorful desserts provided a uniquely new option when it came to the yogurt craze.

I love kefir! But even more so, I love frozen kefir!
Just as everyone else, I discovered this place thanks to scoutmob. Upon walking in however, I was very surprised to find a bright, comfortably roomy café serving not only frozen kefir in a variety of flavors, but also Intelligentsia coffee, crepes and waffles. All at very reasonable prices! I immediately made a mental note to come here more often, or if I ever need to kill some time in the WV.
Anyway, back to the main event. The frozen kefir served here is very smooth and light — much like regular ol’ Pinkberry frozen yogurt. However, the health benefits are supposed to be greater. So it looks like Treat Petite is really a healthy treat. The key lime pie concoction made with original kefir, fresh lime curd, and graham cracker crumbs is very light and bright. The bf actually discovered specks of lime zest in the curd, which stunned the both of us. I also ordered a small cup of coconut kefir (outside of the scoutmob deal) without any toppings, and really enjoyed its slightly tart yet floral flavor. I really appreciated that the owner of this place was very friendly and willing to answer any questions about the products, including making suggestions based on your preferences for say, sweeter or more tart variations.
Most importantly, the bf wholeheartedly enjoyed the key lime frozen kefir concoction he had. He is normally disgusted when I drink kefir at home, so I really couldn’t have felt greater pleasure when he admitted to liking this stuff.

Love love love the kefir fro-​yo here. Not too sweet even with the key lime flavoring. The pomegranate really tastes like the juice. I’m so excited to return here. Seems like it’s low fat, low sugar/​carbs, high protein.
Kefir is from Eastern European countries in the Caucus area, of Turkish origin. The owners are from Armenia (and really nice!). Traditionally, kefir is in a liquid drink form (I commonly saw it all over Turkey) but this place is pretty innovative by turning it into a fro-​yo type. Kefir is high in probiotics, supposedly much more than regular fro-​yo. Leaves little to no after taste unlike ice cream/​fro-​yo. Prices are affordable for junior size.
I’m so excited to return here & also to intro friends to this place. I’m a huge fan of Treat Petite already!

Our house is divided on this one. My wife loved it. I Unilocal-​thought, «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» The key lime kefir sprinkled with graham dust just didn’t do it for me. The yogurt was relatively tasteless. This seems to be just another clone of pinkberry, red mango, etc. I know they are animals of different stripes but with L’Arte del Gelato right across 7^th Ave., there is just no way I’d duck in here again instead.

Like others, I used the scoutmob deal. The key lime was really good. I would definitely come back. A lot of frozen yogurt places leave a weird aftertaste, but not this place. Further, kefir is healthier with you as in it has more protein and other health benefits compared to regular fro yo.
I echo what others have said about the service as well. Really down to earth and friendly.
I wish I lived closer!

Heard about this place through scout mob and wandered in with hubby in tow (he loves kefir yogurt!) We had the skinny key lime pie kefir fro yo and it reminded me of Culture yogurt in Park Slope. Just as good and no residual guilt from eating dessert, haha.
What bumps it up to a 5 star is the customer service. After hubby and I sat down with our freebie fro yo’s, the guy came out to ask us if we wanted any water or anything. Genuinely nice, helpful staff! Will definitely come back and recommend this place. :) Terrific location, too.

Yay for Kefir! It’s pronounced keh-​fear. I’ve had this quite a bit because my dad is a health nut, but frozen kefir was new to me.
I noticed a Scoutmob deal for 100% off (yes, free) of a small key lime pie kefir concoction (see picture!). As I was walking through the door, the girl behind the counter was asking me if I’d like to sample any flavors. She was extremely friendly and peppy. I sheepishly pulled out my Scoutmob app and she happily asked «Scoutmob app?» The other girl behind the counter went right about creating my «concoction».
I took care of using the deal on the application and when I was finished she asked if I’d like to try any other flavors while my dessert was being created. Let me remind you, I was not spending 1 cent here. To me, this is the true mark of customer service. It’s obvious that the owner & employees care not just about making a dime, but making sure that their customer’s experiences are special.
I agreed to trying the peanut butter kefir — yum! The girl was sure to ask me how I liked it. As far as my key lime pie concoction — yummy. Very different — to be honest. At some points it was very sweet and at other times my eyes were crossing because it was sour. I loved it though. An extremely unique product.
Atmosphere: cool — very much like a 16 handles in that respect. Bright, colorful. Some cool products/​tchotchkes on display.
Definitely some other things on the menu that I want to try — namely the Salted Caramel (I think?). It was peanut butter kefir, pretzels, and caramel, I think.
Bottom line — go to here. Now.

Kefir was new to me, and I’m glad that the lady in the shop took the time to explain it to me as I retrieved my free key-​lime kefir frozen treat, garnered via another awesome 100% off scoutmob deal. When she described it, it sounded nasty, although I could taste no difference between kefir and froyo, except that it seemed a little less tangy. From what I see on wikipedia, it sounds healthier and just as tasty, so I’ll have to return for another treat!

If you want to take a break from the Village routine — exposed brick walls, tin ceilings, reclaimed wood tables, dim faux-​antique Edison bulbs hanging in mason jars — you would walk into this café: white plastic faux-​brick wall, bright daylight fluorescent bulbs, Ikea-​like furniture…
Not appealing? OK, maybe their food offerings are great? Frozen kefir — sounds promising for those who grew up knowing what kefir is, and exotic for those who didn’t? Well, unfortunately it doesn’t taste very different from frozen yogurt, already abundant in the neighborhood. Don’t expect hot chocolate, a «steal» for $ 4 for a small cup, to taste like molten chocolate in a cup — it tastes like it’s made from a cheap mix sold in packets.
Alas, this isn’t the most useful addition to the neighborhood.
