The Skinny Dip Frozen Yogurt Bar

Clean, fun aesthetic. Dairy free option (sorbet) and sugar free/​fat free, as well. Lots of flavors. Topping bar looks pretty good, too.

Yay! This was so much fun for me, my cousin, and her 2 young kids! This place charges by weight at a very reasonable price, and has toppings out the wazoo!

Although not as many flavors as I would like there are considerable amounts of anything you crave toppings! From candy to fruit to hot fudge and hot caramel– I can indulge with more then one flavor and lots of toppings. We brought along our dog to sit outside and he enjoyed a vanilla sundae with dog treats. You can eat inside or outside. Ask for the doggie sundae for your canine– they have these ready.
Each day is different flavors and the place is clean with a friendly staff.

Sinking fast.
This place, once our favorite yogurt shop, used to be clean and staffed by friendly, attentive employees.
Now, you rarely see the same person twice.
The cleanliness of the yogurt machines and store in general is not up to snuff.
Many times, the employees are nowhere to be seen until they emerge from the back area.
There’s brutal competition in frozen yogurt in this area. Skinny Dip closed their Cary store, and I predict the Raleigh store will not last too much longer.
Sorry to see a local company like this one fail

I’m sure the yogurt is good, and the topping bar seemed legit and standard. My reason for the 2 star rating is customer service. I’m sorry, complete lack of customer service. I could have easily loaded up on free yogurt just left, without paying. I was in the store for 10 minutes last night and did not see or hear an employee the entire time. They have a door bell to alert employees when someone walks in, and I yelled towards the kitchen area to see if anyone was back there. Not sure if the employee had stepped out, was on their phone, or just didn’t feel like working, but that was just about as bad as you can get for customer service. I left my unpaid for yogurt on the counter, surprise. Should’ve left them a note too.

What they lack in favors, they do make up for in toppings. I perused the 8 – 10 options quickly, and only found one that interested me today — low-​fat «Southern strawberry.» It was excellent though, creamy and tangy. The nearby toppings bar had all my faves, like boba bursts, fresh fruit, chocolate chip cookie dough, and brownie bites. I got some of the bursts, kiwi, and finely ground graham crumbles. Although, I would have done granola in place of graham… only I didn’t notice the additional toppings on the wall as you round the corner. There you’ll find every type of cereal, etc. that you could possibly want. Hot fudge is at the register. There was no one up front when I arrived, so I waited a couple of minutes before the staff exited the back room. They were pleasant and apologized for my wait. I was really excited to find they have wifi — and also lots of comfy booth seating. So I was able to camp out and get some work done. I’d been there a while, and the lady working actually came by and cleared my empty yogurt cup: Unexpectedly nice service at a self-​serve froyo place!

Fun, spacious, delicious, clean, great selection and froyo is good, not watery. Great for kids and adults too!

I mean seriously!
As I took the long stroll from the door to the yogurt wall, I knew I was in for something good. The set up is well planned: you have time to think about your choices. If you’re not quite sure, there are mountains of tiny sample cups to help you make good choices. The friendly staff won’t ever give you dirty looks for trying every flavor (twice). Once you decide how long you want to work out to burn off the calories, you get your big girl cup and put in it what you will. (I LOVE the sweet coconut and snow white vanilla).
Toppings you ask?
Oh. They. have. toppings. When was the last time you saw a Teddy Graham? I saw one today. At Skinny Dip. The only topping I didn’t see was gold dust.
After you load up, they weigh it (about 42 cents an ounce). You can eat it inside or outside (where people will ooooh and ahhhh with envy).
Get you some.

This place is good. Really, really GOOD!
We stopped in after a hearty lunch. They had a good selection of flavors. Among them were Dark Chocolate, Red Velvet Cake, Cappuccino, Peach Cobbler, Dulce de Leche the usual Vanilla and a couple of others that I don’t remember. The frozen Yogurt is very creamy, much closer to ice cream than yogurt. The Toppings bar is wonderfully stocked and clean. Delectable brownie and Yellow cake bites, Cookie dough and a host of others. Then on the wall are all the candy toppings, and the hot fudge and caramel, and yes, I like to pronounce it like it’s meant to be pronounced — Kar-​uh-​Mel… but I digress.
The staff is always very friendly and courteous. My family and I always have a blast when we go there. They have priced their yogurt perfectly and I find myself perfectly willing to travel the extra 5 – 7 minutes more to this place rather than any other froyo store.

Great prices, excellent frozen yogurt. Healthier than regular ice cream, but still tasty!

We love The Skinny Dip — if anything, too much! They come up with new flavors all the time (they have 10 a day, changing daily) and you get to sample them all. We love that they are self serve, so if we feel like just a little bit, or loading up, we can. One of the best parts is that you only pay for the weight, so you can load it up with any and all toppings that you want without being worried about getting charged too much for each little bit you want.
Our favorite flavor is their Red Velvet Cupcake — oh my gosh, that stuff is good. Even if we disagree on toppings to go in it, we both agree on that as the best! Speaking of toppings, there is about anything you could want. They have all kinds of candies, fresh fruit, cereals, granola, nuts, brownie pieces and — of course — the ice cream favorites like sprinkles, fudge, and chocolate chips! The atmosphere is always relaxed and is certainly family friendly. The staff are all extremely nice too. It certainly fills any sweet cravings we might be having!

As summer comes to a close i felt i should eat all the frozen treats i could while i could, so i gave this place a try. i was taken back by the lay out when i first walked in, a wall full of topping and yogurt and with flavors like sweet coconut and bacon how can you go wrong.
i went with the cappuccino flavored and added some blue berry’s just for kicks. the stuff was great and not to bad on the price either. i pigged out for like $ 6.00 bucks.
After passing by this place so many time before im glad i gave this place a look-​see!

Skinny Dip has an excellent selection and I love the Surf Board. I have been to the one in Cary a number of times. This is the same and the staff is very pleasant.
I beat the system, low fat Yogurt Bar, but the toppings are the calorie monsters. guess What I just get nuts. Beat the calorie count.
This is a great spot next to Jimmy John’s. Lunch and a Yogurt all in a few minutes. I always eat the yogurt first.
I have been to many Yogurt Bars around, but Skinny Dip is always a good choice.

This Skinny Dip, while very similar to the other froyo shops I’ve tried recently, is great. I hope the sign in the window advertising 100 treats to add means that they rotate 100 different toppings because there certainly were not 100 out when we went. The variety was great though, and so were the flavors. I sampled Blueberry Muffin (as Sissy said, you can taste the blueberry, the muffin not so much), Strawberry Banana (delicious, not too sweet and a great blend of both flavors), Original Tart, French Vanilla (tasted like it was maybe French but had been raised in America — regular olé’ vanilla), and Strawberry (like fresh, cold strawberries). I ended up getting Original and Blueberry Muffin swirled. At the toppings table we went for cake pieces, cheesecake pieces, chocolate-​covered pretzels, whipped cream, Heath bar (very nicely crushed, not in huge chunks), caramel and chocolate sauce and a good number of fruits. I’d forgotten about the previous reviews and was happily surprised when I got to the wall and saw the various cereal and candy toppings hanging. My sisters kept asking, «Kim what is WRONG with you?!» I was going overboard of course, and it didn’t cost me much. It was quiet and clean while we were there, and there was a ‘Dipper on Duty’ coming around to wipe the toppings table down as we walked away. I’d say the variety of flavors and toppings sets TSD apart from the others, the prices and atmosphere are great (and it’s set in an awesome little plazza with bars and other restaurants), and I’ll definitely be back.

Frozen Yogurt Nirvana
Visits: Twice in the last month (June-​July 2011)
I found frozen yogurt dessert heaven at Skinny Dip. It’s a Frozen Yogurt Bar! Self Serve! I love making my own desserts and I was just excited about it as the little girl next to me at the bar. Skinny Dip offers 10 different yogurt flavors: 1 sugar free, a few low fat options, and a few fat-​free choices. There are 2 container sizes: big and bigger. The sign in the window advertises 100 treats to add to your frozen yogurt but I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration. However, I was definitely impressed with the huge selection of goodies. For my first visit, I was all over the candy bar options like Snickers, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, Heath Bar, M & Ms, cookie dough, etc. The second time I made a fresh berry treat. I loaded up on the fresh raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and strawberries. For a little tropical flavor, you can add pineapple, kiwi, and bananas. Plus there are chewy brownie bits and little piece of vanilla cake.
You pay by the weight. So you can get the size perfect for you! The price is $ 0.39/oz., which won’t break the bank. On my first visit, I went to the cash register to have my frozen yogurt dessert masterpiece weighed and to pay, I saw the hot caramel and hot fudge dispensers. It was strange to me that these awesome additives were not located on the bar but may be it’s a safety hazard since the dispensers are hot. I remembered the hot fudge on my second visit. I was happy with the quality of the yogurt and goodies, the variety, and the freshness. The store was clean and the cashiers were friendly and helpful. At the Quail Corners location, they offer outdoor seating, which is really pleasant particularly on a nice evening.
Here’s your chance to be your own dessert chef! Enjoy!

Good spot for frozen yogurt in north Raleigh. I’ve been here a few times and there’s always been good, unique flavors to try. I love the setup too. Along the wall is about 8 or 10 flavors of frozen yogurt, so you pick your bowl size and put in as much as you want. Then you hit the toppings bar and things can get crazy. They have everything from fruit and nuts to cookie dough, cereal, candy, pie crust, just about everything you could want to make your dessert even more delicious. You weigh it in and I think it’s like 39 cents/​ounce. Either way, a good size bowl of frozen yogurt with 3 or 4 toppings will usually run me $ 3-​$ 4. Not too shabby. I would definitely recommend.

Since my pregnant Niece told me about this place, conversations in our house now often sound like: «I need a Skinny Dip fix, wanna come?»
I’m not a big sweets person, but once in awhile, a dish of cool creamy goodness with exactly the perfect concoction of toppings that I currently crave are just what the doctor ordered!
At most places you have to settle for a flavor and a topping. Here you can pick as many flavors and as many toppings as you care to taste, and care to pay for. It’s that simple. Fortunately for my pocketbook, I have small cravings. But yet as small of a dish as I might be in the mood for, it is so nice to still have variety in that dish. A dollop of red velvet, with a dollop of birthday cake, with a dollop of key lime, perhaps… topped with a few fresh blueberries, some multi-​colored sprinkles, some chocolate sprinkles (yes, even a variety of sprinkles! sigh), maybe a few chocolate chips, a sprinkle of pie crust (the only wrong thing, imho, as it was so fine of crumbs that it tasted like nothing)…all this goodness, and the price was LESS THAN $ 3.00…for the size serving I fixed for myself, anyway.
Note that flavors change daily. I dare you to not find something there you like!

Having been to a number of yogurt places around here now, I’m still undecided about which one is my favorite, but The Skinny Dip is definitely near the top of my list. Like a number of them, they charge by the ounce and they have two bowl sizes to choose from. I can’t imagine getting the larger one since I don’t usually come close to filling up the small one and get plenty.
They have a variety of flavors, a number of which rotate out so don’t get to attached if you find one you really like. A couple of stand outs I’ve had are the red velvet cake and the white chocolate macadamia nut. I like that they have the sample cups sitting out instead of having to go get them from an employee. There are plenty of toppings to choose from including, fruit, candy bar pieces, and various cereals. They also have really good hot fudge. Not the hot chocolate syrup posing as hot fudge. I’m talking the good kind that stays thick and doesn’t turn your yogurt into chocolate sludge by the bottom.
The atmosphere is fairly plain. Some brightly colored walls and a few booths inside. There are also some tables outside for enjoying your cool treat on a warm day. The staff has been very friendly every time I’ve been there. Overall this place is a welcome addition to Quail Corners and N. Raleigh in general.
