YoSweets

I’ve walked this place many times and it’s nice to know there’s a fro-​yo place in the neighborhood. I tried the coconut, regular, pomegranate, and salted caramel. The toppings were good but they could do better with more fruit and less junk. The owner was really nice though so I think I got lucky based on the negative reviews. I’d come back only if I’m in the neighborhood again and craving something light and sweet.

Bubble tea is very fresh and yogurt is delicious. Clean space and great service!

Staff was very unhelpful and was on the phone when I was trying to ask about something. The yogurt is not bad, but stay away from the bubble tea! I ordered the lychee flavor and it tasted like watered down milk. Will not be returning.

The frozen yogurt is really good but I am not a fan of the bubble tea. The Tapioca is really hard at the bottom of the drink and the flavors taste weird to me. I would just recommend the frozen yogurt.

Before getting on the train on a beautiful December night. My gf was in the mood for a nice fruit juice. So we came across this place. Let me just tell you that the customer service was so horrible. We got there, we where never acknowledged, no greeting nothing. Cool. No biggy. I’m from New York myself I get it. It was one employee in the place. The girl had a short blue wig on. Whatever. She had her head down looking at some papers the whole time and asked my gf what she wanted. She said very nicely «Hey hun I’m looking». Then she just went back to what she was doing. While shaking her head like she was annoyed or something. I’m looking at the menu myself. She then asked me if I was ready, I said no. Still looking. Again she went back to her paper or whatever. She just had a bad attitude. Then finally my gf said I’ll have a juice. The worker In a very fast voice said «cash or credit, receipt, no receipt». Just her tone was not very friendly. She seemed annoyed. Then I said wait I didn’t know what to order. I was still looking. With a attitude she said «you guys together»? I said yes. She rolled her eyes and put her head back down. My gf quietly said to me lets get out of here. So we told the worker never mind. We decided against getting anything. The experience was horrible. Really cool looking place but unfortunately lousy staff. Thumbs down in my book.

Had potential but overall :-/​. The flavors are interesting, but my friend and I both agreed there was an odd taste to it. I’d go back to try the bubble tea.
As is typical for this neighborhood, unfortunately, my friend and I sat down to eat our froyo and had to leave because the three teenage girls who managed to fit ringing us up into their conversations were screaming so loud, we couldn’t hear each other talk.

This is the only fro yo place in Washington Heights (although I predict more to come soon with the rapid rate of yuppie-​fication happening around us), and it’s pretty dang good! There are probably 10ish flavors or so and an extensive topping selection. The tart and strawberry/​chocolate mix were divine! It also seems to be a lot cheaper than 16 Handles and Pinkberry, and there’s a loyalty card for a free fro-​yo with 5 stamps.
Only downside is the employees, as other reviewers have alluded to, are grumpy and rude. A small price to pay for delicious frozen dairy noms.

I came into the store on a hot day and walked into complete chaos. The floors were wet, I nearly slipped and fell. The counters were dirty and the line was extremely long. When I finally reached the register the cashier was so rude and unwelcoming. I had a terrible experience at Yo Sweets that day and made sure to tell all my friends to stay away!!! Especially from that evil cashier Sakia.

a friend came to visit me last year when i first moved to the heights, and we were craving ice cream but the only place around seemed to be baskin robbins. cue a couple months later, suddenly yosweets popped up practically next to the A train exit, practically around the corner from my apartment. oh my god, heaven! my roommate and i frequent this place often — the bananas foster froyo is amazing, and imagine my sadness when it finally was rotated out. then imagine my disappointment even more when yosweets CLOSED for the winter! some of us even want to eat frozen desserts even when we are freezing outside!
happily, yosweets is back for the summer and it looks like my bananas foster is back as well. my only wish is that they would add cookie dough bites to the toppings! anyway, the store is clean and has never been too crowded. we always get our cups to-​go, but there is a small seating area at the front of the store if you feel like hanging out.

This spot is a nice addition to the Washington Heights area. They have Bubble Tea, Smoothies, Fresh Juices, and frozen yogurt. The customer service is very welcoming and friendly. I was able to sample various frozen yogurt options before making my selection. I went the with Pomegranate Raspberry since the other flavors tasted more like ice cream and I wanted something on the sweeter side to go with my fruit sides. It was very sweet in comparison to other pomegranate frozen yogurt variations I have tried. The catch is that you are charged by weight rather than size ($ 55 cents per lb). The only cup option is large which can fit quiet a bit so keep that in mind with racking up on the sides. I look forward to trying some of the bubble tea options in the future.

Im sooooo happy this location opened up here! Love fro-​yo. Its an average store – very clean! Decent options for yogurt, lots of toppings! However, if you say you’re open until 11pm, counting down the drawer at 10:30 right next to the toppings, looks a little busted. I asked to make sure it was still 11pm and the manager/​owner told me that sometimes if it’s slow, they start to close earlier. Okay but I want to sit and enjoy my yogurt and now I can’t because your staff is giving me the «we wanna go home» stink eye
So if you get a late night sweet tooth, know that if its within 15 – 30 minutes before closing, you might be met with a locked door. Definitely call first!

Good yogurt, basic but cute looking shop, friendly staff, nice selection of fruit toppings. I’d give this place more stars if it weren’t for the $ 5 minimum to pay with a credit/​debit card. I never make my yogurt cup exceed $ 5, and I never have cash on me, so when I went to this store for the first time last night to happily pay for my $ 4.42 cup of froyo, I couldn’t. I was forced to add more stuff, in turn paid $ 5.42 and got a tummy ache :(the other froyo places in inwood do not have a minimum and therefore I wouldn’t come back here unless I had cash.

Brilliant idea to open up a froyo place in Washington Heights, since it is the ONLY one here (I think) :)
While I was trying to decide on which flavor to get, a young lady that worked there offered samples. After trying the red velvet, I got that. I like that it wasn’t tart and that it wasn’t too sweet.
I can’t stand Pinkberry’s tart flavors. Luckily, I was craving froyo, so I didn’t mind getting the little bucket of froyo and mind you, even though I was craving it, it still was a bit much — I think it would be good to split it with someone else. They had plenty of toppings to choose from!
The store was clean and bright. Staff was friendly and cheerful.
If you use your credit card, you have to spend a minimum of $ 5 — I didn’t want to get more froyo, so I ordered ice tea; however, they had no sugar for the ice tea! That’s something they definitely need to stock up on!
I will definitely go back — I want to try their bubble teas!

If you’re yearning for your childhood (and you’re over 25) try their strawberry bubble tea — it tastes exactly like the bubble-​gum flavored medication they used to give children (hence my over 25 rider — I don’t know if that stuff is still a thing).
Sad to say, it bears no resemblance whatever to strawberry bubble tea. If you’re looking for that, I would avoid.
I can’t speak to their frozen-​yogurt/​soft serve, but it looks pretty decent. Seems best to stick with the frozen stuff here.

I was really excited to see this place pop up down the street from us. With bubble tea an frozen yogurt, it has a few of my favorites to offer within a short walk-​something we’ve never had in this neighborhood.
So far, I’ve gone twice. The first time, my wife and I shared a frozen yogurt. They have a diverse selection of both yogurts and toppings, and the owner kindly offered us a sample of any flavor we wanted to try. We bought a small dish of the regular yogurt with a few pieces of fruit. The total came to $ 4.60. I found this to be a bit pricey given that places like Pinkberry offer a better deal with comparable quality.
The next time we went we chose green tea bubble teas. The flavor was nice for the most part, a little weak, but not too sweet. Overall a nice treat at under $ 3 a piece.
Basically, I would go back for bubble tea, but unless I’m desperate, I’ll keep looking for a cheaper option for yogurt.

Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! They had a good selection of self serve frozen yogurt although I was a bit sad that there was no peanut butter. A gentleman was available to help me sample several flavors before I settled on a combination of chocolate covered strawberry and banana foster. Also a great selection of fresh fruit and other toppings. I like that they offer other things such as bubble tea and smoothies though I haven’t tried those yet. The cups for the froyo could also be a bit more sturdy but I’ll definitely be back!

Funny when you go to your local hardware store to get a new screen for your window and are suddenly greeted by a sign that states a frozen yogurt shop will be opened in the summer. Well, froyo IS exciting, but I kind of wanted to keep the flies out of my room a little better. Ha!
Moving on…
Though a few have opened up in Inwood, I’m pretty sure this is the only froyo place in Washington Heights at this time. My stomach both loves and loathes the fact that it’s opened up pretty much diagonally across the street from my apartment building. The interior is similar to any other self-​serve froyo place you’ve been to. There are roughly a dozen different flavors as well as a bar filled with fruits, candies, and sauces to top your creation off. At 52 cents an ounce (if I recall correctly), the beau and I each got a decently-​filled bowl at only $ 8 TOTAL. Normally, a single bowl of froyo at these self-​serve places cost me a good $ 9 — $ 10 dollars each, despite my constant concerted efforts to make them as light as possible weight-​wise. Haaa. That price shocked me! The product? Good. I was pleased with the Bananas Foster and Vanilla combined with some strawberries and shredded coconut. The Cookies & Cream flavor was pretty delicious as well.
This place also sells fresh-​squeezed juices, smoothies, and bubble tea!
Hello, gentrification. WaHi finally has its froyo. Haaa. Well worth it, though. Tasty, tasty, tasty.

This place isn’t very hard to find and the atmosphere is quite nice. I love the layout of the store, it’s sleek and clean. They offer a variety of low fat frozen yogurts, smoothies, and bubble tea. This place is self-​serve which I do like because I can get as much fro-​yo as I want and I’m kinda a sucker for sweets. They have a lot of toppings and the staff are very nice. The price is pretty reasonable and the food tastes good too!

This is a new shop that opened up a week ago. They offer a lot of low fat frozen yogurts with your choice of toppings by weight and bubble teas. Bubble tea flavours were a bit limited, but the tapioca was fresh. So glad to have this in the neighbourhood!

I’m so happy this took the place of the empty hardware store. Now I can get a tasty treat on my way to work or on my way home. It has all the makings of your typical yoghurt place with the added benefit of delicious bubble tea and whipped cream. All you have to do is ask!
