Juniper Frozen Yogurt

Juniper has two things working against it: it’s on the pricier side of froyo offerings, and there aren’t a whole variety of flavours available. It loses out to nearby Froyo World with the younger crowd. However, if you like fresh, fruity, tart froyo and don’t really care for oodles of chocolaty topping options, then you’ll enjoy it here. I enjoy their blueberry flavour the most. However, I find the price point too steep and the portions too small to indulge every time I wanted something cold.

I’m in love with their blueberry yogurt smoothie, which comes with a delicious dollop of froyo on top. Sometimes I get the off-​the-​menu blueberry-​strawberry smoothie (it’s a few cents extra). Sure it’s over $ 5 for a smoothie but it just hits the spot! I’ve also tried and liked the strawberry, mango, acai, and mangosteen smoothies. There’s something in their froyo I find particularly addicting… other froyo shops nearby don’t quite have that flavor in their plain tart, if you get my drift.

The place is clean and small!
I had a mid-​size original tart with fruit toppings and it was okay.
The toppings seemed like they’ve been sitting there for days. My fruits were so dried and mochi pieces were really hard; it was really unpleasant eating there. With the same price, I would get so much fresher frozen yogurt with unlimited toppings from Pink Berry. I’m willing to walk to the mall for Pink Berry for the quality!

So, I NEVER thought I’d say this… but… Juniper is the clear winner for me in the Froyo Battle on Thayer.
Juniper is clean, toppings are bountiful, the prices are very reasonable, and I love the flavor of the original tart here. Additionally, the froyo doesn’t end up in a puddle 5 minutes after I leave here. It holds it’s consistency SO much better than Froyo World. I find myself having to put my froyo in the freezer when I get home before I eat to get it back to the original texture but not at junipers.
I will say this would have been a 5 star review but the owner seems like he’s doing a prison bid when he’s scooping your toppings on the froyo (he is heavy handed which is great). A wee little smile goes a long way. Customer service aside, I love this place.

My sister introduced me to this very cute frozen yogurt place. The hidden gem is the mangosteen smoothie – absolutely delicious and addicting. Will be going again very soon for another.

Juniper, though smaller than some other self serve froyo establishments in town, is to my mind the BEST ! The original is so addictive. Organic offerings, smoothies ,
HEALTHY toppings. yumyumyum. You can go and slather on all that junk at the other places to cover up the taste of their yogurt because it wouldn’t be as good by itself, or you could go to Juniper and enjoy a delicious, refreshing and healthy treat. I’ve heard people say its more expensive well its not and quality is quality. Go there. Judge for yourself.

Forget Pinkberry… Make way for the greatness that is Juniper.
I literally have stayed up at night, craving the mango smoothie from here… It is a gift from the gods. Their fro-​yo selection, while minimalist, is none the less delicious in every respect… and can be accompanied by a healthy selection of toppings.
I’ve read complaints regarding the service, which I personally have never experienced. The man who served me isn’t the most talkative person on this planet, but that suits me fine.

Todas las veces que he visitado este lugar siempre he sido atendido por los dueños. (Estos chinos no descansan, parece que no saben lo que es tener un día libre jejeje)
El servicio es bueno y la variedad de aderezos y los trocitos de frutas que puedes elegir para aderezar tu yogur es excelente.
El yogur sabor «original» con las gomitas se arroz llamadas «mochi» y kiwi es la combinación perfecta.

I had a serious craving for some froyo and headed off to Juniper on my way home from work. I am a HUGE fan of pinkberry so I was quite happy when I heard they had a similar ‘original’ flavor at Juniper. It was exactly what I needed on a warm day after a long day of work. Yum… I could go for some right now!!! But, here’s a warning, Pinkberry is opening in 2 weeks at Providence place. Good thing Juniper has a prime Thayer st. location.

I want to like this place. It seems to be a family-​run place, and I really enjoy the flavor of the yogurt, which is more tart and yogurt-​y than I’ve had before, but it still seems really over priced and the service is decidedly lacking.
Last time I was in here was in the evening. There was no one at the counter, and no one came out when I walked in (I don’t know if they have a bell and didn’t hear it, or what). So my bf and I stood around waiting for about five minutes because I really wanted some froyo. Finally, a pack of undergrads came in making a ton of noise and someone came out. The undergrads completely disregarded me, walked right up to the counter, and placed their orders even though I was obviously there first. The server didn’t care, didn’t say anything, and then she called someone else out to help with the crowd.
By the time I finally got to order, the gentleman who helped me was incredibly rude and practically threw the yogurt at me. Fine if you’re having a bad night, but don’t take it out on a paying customer who has been waiting for fifteen minutes.
In reading other Unilocal reviews, I’ve cemented my opinion that their customer service sucks. One person remarked that they kept going to answer the phone while they were waiting on him. That is not ok. The person in front of you is always the most important person, and you don’t make paying customers wait so you can take a phone call. That’s NEVER ok.

Juniper is out of this world adorbs! The people who work there are so sweet and friendly and we all love Pinkberry but a) it’s a haul to Cranston and b) it’s so much better to support a local business just trying to make it in the big city of PVD.
The yogurt is so light and refreshing that you can always fit some in even after a big dinner out — which is usually how I enjoy my Juniper. Honestly, it’s like a little frozen yogurt apéritif — minus any alcohol obviously.
Plenty of topping choices and just enough yogurt flavors to not overwhelm you. And unlike another yogurt shop just up the street that we won’t mention (ahem, Froyo World, ahem) you won’t be herded through an insane line like a cow waiting for slaughter.
Go to Juniper, tell your friends, it’s wonderful and you will not be disappointed.

Streamline, modern, immaculate (with the exception of a few fallen blueberries) and cute to the max. Tons of fresh toppings to choose from including mango, strawberries, coconut, walnuts, almonds, mochi, and chocolate chips. However, Pinkberry has ruined me for life with all the free toppings that will fit. At Juniper you have to pay $ 1 for 1 – 2 toppings and $ 2 for 3 – 4 toppings.
A small with only two toppings is going to run you a fiver. Yogurt flavors include regular, blueberry or strawberry.

If you look for frozen yogurt on thayer street, you will undoubtedly be confronted with two choices: froyo world or juniper. I would say it depends entirely on your style.
Juniper frozen yogurt is very similar to Pinkberry in the way they serve, meaning you choose a flavor (I think some of their flavors are a little different), they put it in a cup and then you choose the toppings and they top the yogurt for you. The yogurt itself I like more, it is creamier and resembes pinkberry’s formula more. The place itself is smaller. Personally, if it is summertime and I am walking down thayer and not planning on stopping, I’ll grab this on the go. However if I am making a dedicated frozen yogurt trip where I want to sit down and eat, I’d go to froyo world.

When I think about the fact that I’ve worked on Slayer Street almost two years without having been in here up until last night I want to literally cry.
I got a goji berry smoothie that was totally out of this world insane and good. I don’t know what to do. I might have to eat one every night. It was phenomenal. I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t know where it came from. It should be against federal law to sell anything less good than that frigging goji berry smoothie.
Oh– and the old Asian man who works there will never ever smile. He means well though. I know it. I like his glasses.

Juniper is definitely the froyo King on Thayer St.
I like Juniper better than Froyo World because…
1. It doesn’t have that overwhelming sweet smell when you walk into the door. It’s chic and clean with white walls and furniture. There are chairs outside for 4 people max.
2. You can actually get a «small» size unlike Froyo world who tricks you with extra-​large cups only.
3. Toppings are fresh (with no flies!) and the fact that it is not self serve, it keeps the line moving very quickly. Don’t worry, grandpa will PACK the toppings on the froyo for you.
4. The original flavor is actually… original. Straight forward, not artificial and simply yogurt! A successful original froyo must have well balanced tart and smooth texture. Juniper got it all.
Must go/​visit when you are in the area!

Juniper is surprisingly high quality frozen yogurt in the Providence area. I have insanely high froyo expectations given my NYC froyo snobbery. But I absolutely LOVE Juniper because they produce a fresh, tart taste that tastes authentically fresh off the boat.
Try the blueberry smoothie. I don’t know WHAT they put in there, but it is a HEAVENLY mix of fresh fruit, yogurt, and creamy tart taste. They also have a much cleaner presentation than froyo world with prices that are comparable (if not just a little bit extra that’s worth it).
Honestly, I don’t know why you would go anywhere else for froyo in Providence. The market doesn’t have too many options, and as far as I’m concerned, Juniper’s the only one that makes the cut.

Before I moved to Providence, I had to look up the Froyo variety at hand. I put all my stock in that other froyo place, imagining myself loading Captain Crunch and sprinkles onto my yogurt. Depressed by the quality of the yogurt, I wandered down the street to find Juniper.
Away went my froyo anxiety and in came amazing yogurt. The texture is smooth, the tart is just right, and the staff are all extremely friendly. Sure, I wish the prices were akin to Yogurt Land, but looking past the dollar dollar bills factor this place is fantastic.

YUCK

Where I’m from in California, Froyo is as prolific as it gets. We have a Yogurt Land, a Pinkberry, an Orange Leaf and even some other non-​chain place all within the span of 1.5 miles. Anyway, I was surprised to find this adorable little gem right on Thayer Street. I was having a mad froyo craving and decided to order a medium. Not only was it the kind of yogurt that’s really good quality (dense, tart and only slightly sweet. not that fluffy, icy stuff), the portion size was EXTREMELY generous. Suffice to say I needed help finishing it, though loved every bite of it.
This is kind of a jerkish comment to make, but I still would choose Pinkberry over this (I know, I’m horrible!), but only because they have a greater variety of flavor and toppings. However, in Providence this is as good as it gets (i do like it better than that place, what, 3 doors over?)

I recently stopped in to try Juniper because driving 45 minutes to Hingham to go to Pinkberry isn’t always an option, especially at 10pm on a Saturday when I’m suddenly in dire need of a fro-​yo fix. Luckily, it was freezing out so there wasn’t a line. The shop itself is very clean with a couple of tables and some counter-​top seating for people watching on Thayer. My only complaint about the actual shop is that it’s blindingly bright. I get that they’re trying to go for a sleek, simplistic layout, but I felt like I was in an operating room or something.
The girl behind the counter was really friendly, but I felt bad because the phone kept ringing and she had to answer it. Apparently, their phone number is only one digit off from the local Chili’s number, so people call all the time trying to place take-​out orders (random, I know). She was getting a little flustered, but still managed to fix our yogurts. I had a small original/​blueberry swirl with coconut flakes and raspberries. My bf had an original with yogurt chips and oreo pieces. I thought they were generous with the toppings and all of the fruit still looked really fresh, even though it was towards the end of the night. We stayed and sat at the counter to eat. I thought the yogurt had great flavor, especially the blueberry. It was smooth and tart, without being overly sweet.
I was slightly disappointed that they only offered two flavors (three in the summertime when strawberry is swirling). I think I’ve become spoiled by all of Pinkberry’s choices, including a rotating seasonal offering. I liked Juniper because it’s convenient, clean, and prices are standard for fro-​yo, but I still like Pinkberry better. I guess I should be glad that Providence even has tart frozen yogurt since they’re usually so far behind on dessert trends (i.e. cupcakes). I’d like it more if they introduced a couple more flavors and turned down the lighting a few watts. I’ll definitely be back to sample the strawberry this summer!

I was craving Pinkberry style frozen yogurt after gorging myself on the buffet at Kabob and Curry, and noticed Juniper when walking up and down Thayer St with my boyfriend. I wasn’t expecting much, especially not the awesomeness that was handed over to me!
I thought the toppings were a bit stingy (I’m just used to Pinkberry and Red Mango), but the fro-​yo was PERFECT. Seriously. And the portion size was perfect for me since I had just eaten myself silly!
The person behind the counter was super sweet, and I felt like it was a very good thing I didn’t live nearby. (Or I would be here EVERY DAY).
