Front Porch Frozen Desserts

A bit pricey. We started coming here FROM THE START when first opened. Now, it’s changed. We loved supporting «mom and pop» but im going to try in my area, Pflugerville. It’s too bad. We’ve brought everyone in our family here from visiting out of town. Definately does not feel the same (sad face).
WARNING
if you have ANY coupons, get them out and in the cashiers hands BEFORE you even pick a yogurt! I didn’t know they did by weight (doesn’t disclose in text or send you to a link with «rules»). Ive had this issue with another coupon and a different cashier. Neither were excepted even though my yogurt and a 4 dollar ice cream cone were right in front of him. Such a bummer since i have kids out of school, and this is a nice treat.
I’m sure the kids will want to come back, so I’m sure i will bring them until i find another. Not saying this place is horrible, i think I’ll be ok with just a bottle water (unless it’s 2 dollars).

Always clean and cold! The staff is always helpful and nice! They have lots of topping choices and everything is always clean and neat in there all the way around!
Froyo and toppings always taste wonderful; it all is great quality!
Front Porch is our absolute go-​to spot for Frozen Yogurt! We love it!

This is the best of these fill-​your-​cup froyo places around, to the point that I will drive out of my way to go here. They have gelato, custard and froyo, and several different topping stations, all very clean and properly maintained.
The best is that they regularly run specials for «all-​you-​can fill» days for $ 3 or $ 4. Just sign up for their text messages. They also offer free WiFi, so during a quieter time, it’s not a bad place to catch up on some work.

This place is wonderful. Helpful staff, a variety of delicious yogurt flavors and an arsenal of toppings. Has a nice neighborhood feel and you know you’re in good hands when you hear Elvis Costello and David Bowie on the jukebox. Can’t wait to go back and try some more of their options.

This place is amazing! I was a little skeptical at first, but it was the closest yogurt place to my new apartment. The inside looks really interesting and I like the laid back look! I like that they have more options than just frozen yogurt. And they have almost any topping you can think of! The even occasional deal were you can fill up a cup for cheap! New favorite place!

Lets start with the good and then we can move on to the more questionable.
This place looks and smells great. Toppings galore all over the place. Everything you could possibly thing of. They also had a ton of yogurt options, organized by type (custard, fro yo, ice cream etc) which makes it really easy to find something you are interested.
I got the banana cream pie, vanilla, and peanut butter cookie. All three has a nice refreshing taste to it and I was very satisfied.
While all of that was good and as you can see, I still have them a 4 star rating, I have never seen a place hold so much control over taster cups. I have been to my fair share of fro yo places and some times they might give you one or 2 to limit but this place does something I have never seen before. They require an employee to get you a sample. Mind you, these machines are not near the register. So the lady behind the register, has to first get to everyone in line, and then walk over to a machine, fill a very tiny cup, only half way to make me struggle to get it out and then head back. You better hope you liked the first taste test you got.
Luckily, I know what frozen yogurt tastes like and I happened to like my first so I just went with it, but I was definitely shocked about that process.
Overall, the yogurt and toppings were great but not sure I want to deal with testing yogurts ever again.

I was excited to try this dessert location on a warm afternoon. The signs out for a front advertised both gelato and frozen yogurt. Inside, I was met with a wall full of soft serve style machines with a limited flavor selection. They glamorized the names for flavors like chocolate and vanilla, while neither really offered a strong or impressive flavor. The quality of the «gelato» was closer to a an average soft serve ice cream. Definitely not worth the $.50 an ounce it was sold for.
The store only provides large size bowls (24 ounce?) for this self-​serve convenience. This overly large bowl encourages people (especially children) to overfill the bowl and end up paying more for dessert than they really wanted. There was a wide selection of toppings and flavors to accompany your creamy creation. Of course, each one of them added to the weight of the bowl and your price.
While I desired to enjoy my ice cream inside the comfortably adorned and visually appealing dessert parlor, the pop music was playing at a painfully loud level. When I asked the single young employee working in the store if they could adjust the volume, she dismissively told me she didn’t know how. She told me I could sit on the patio if I didn’t want to hear the music. Did I mention it was a warm day and I didn’t really want my «gelato» to melt.
The PROS:
Convenient location
Cute & comfortable décor
Nice selection of toppings
Not crowded
The CONS:
Painfully loud music
Very limited flavor selection
Low quality gelato products
Oversized bowls are only option
Expensive at $.50 an ounce
Next time I desire a frozen treat, I will NOT be visiting Front Porch. I would suggest Cherry Berry or Baskin Robbins instead. Or, better yet, take a trip to Amy’s.

I divide my life into two eras: Before Front Porch, and After Front Porch.
They’ve really changed my expectations of what a yogurt shop can offer. From the amazing rotating flavors that you use as an excuse to come back for *one more* because you haven’t tried it yet (shout out to Yellow Cake Batter and Jamocha), to the plethora of topping options that are magically kept clean and organized (pretty sure they’ve got some House Elves lurking around…), to the interior design – I love everything about them!
They also have great coupons, at least one every month. Like their Facebook page to get notified, or sign up through their website and they’ll text you the offers. The great thing about those is that you can share them with friends, so it’s not like a «members only» thing. Plus, they’re a local, family-​owned business, so mega props to that!

Great selection of yogurts, which is always changing. There’s always something new to try here, and we always leave happy. Been a great selection of toppings such as cookies, Cereal toppings hot fudge, and fruits. They offer a Unilocal check-​in deal too.

This place is amazing! It is very tasty. Great people working counters.
Besides having a wonderful variety of toppings, sauces, yogurt & gelato flavors they have amazinggg promos! Add them on facebook and enjoy the savings!

Organized– All the grabbers are neatly in place and you know where you’ll be able to find certain things to put in your icecream/​yogurt whatever
Options-​Lots of options for both icecream/​yogurt and lots of toppings. I’ve never had candied ginger in icecream before, but I tried it and it was great.
Clean-You’d expect this place to be upside down and smeared with stuff everywhere, considering kids (and adults) come and pig out… they keep it very clean, counters floors, everything. No splooges.
Aura is nice and friendly, everyone is welcome, music is fun!
Plenty of seating… tables and bar top.
Preeeeeety good

From reading my friend’s reviews, I thought this may be a great place to take my sister and niece for some ice cream. It doesn’t look like your typical froyo place — it’s spacious and new and feels country and inviting.
One very unique plus is the different types of ice cream in the soft serve machines — gelato, yogurt, custard (I think I’m missing one?) A sign above educates you on the difference and other signs offer topping pairings for your desired flavor…
Many, many toppings including peanut butter (I got some) and jars on the wall and more and more jars on tables lol They have it all!
$ 14 for 2 froyos seemed a little much but maybe we just got too much haha but you get 10% off if you check in on Unilocal~yay!

Absolutely loved this place! It’s the Willy Wonka Factory of Ice cream and toppings!
Every topping you could imagine was there. Loved the cherry ice cream. Décor was nice, very family friendly, and very CLEAN considering how many little spills of ice cream and toppings you could anticipate.
Will be back. Military discount meant 3 people had full bowls for $ 14.
Thank you for a nice after dinner treat!

Clean (good)
Tasty flavors (good)
Nice Old Fella friendly (good)
Ordering something they make for you (yay)
Leaving off the whip cream as requested (good)
Random guy coming from the back to make order and leaving off the chocolate and cherry (bad, very bad mmmkay)
Internet was down so couldn’t try out Rockbot thingy (sad but neutral issue)
The flavor of the blondie was pretty good as well as the warm caramel sauce. If you do get warm ingredients it melts amazingly fast so either eat fast or don’t be anti-​soupy dish.
So next time I’ll make my own, not get warm toppings and then it’ll be 5 stars maybe!

It’s really hot outside (understatement of the year). My commutes are long from work to home during rush hour. I need something cold to cool me down and this is pretty close to my home so I’ve been coming here often. They switch the flavors around so it’s different every time. Plenty of toppings to choose from though they could add some more boba flavors. Place is clean and well organized. Service is a bit awkward as mentioned by others already.

This place is a peanut butter lover’s fro-​yo dream come true. I had a tart yogurt with peanut butter sauce, peanut butter chips (the pb version of chocolate chips) and a Nutterbutter cookie on top!
Minus one star for hygiene though. The lady at the register was sneezing and snotty. I asked to sample a flavor and she insisted on getting it herself. Her snot filled tissue was in the same hand as the sample cups. Ummmm … No thanks. I didn’t want to try a different flavor that bad. They need to rethink this system.

My favorite froyo place. Always have a good selection of yogurts and toppings. I will have to say I wasn’t too impressed with the coffee milkshake, but I think the yogurts are great. The main problem with the coffee milkshake is it didn’t taste like it had much coffee.

My kiddos really enjoyed this placed. My son got the strawberry shortcake with gummies, oreos, and whipped cream (it’s from a can, not fresh). My daughter got the chocolate something with chocolate chip cookies, sour gummies, m&ms, and whipped cream. They both said they liked it a lot.
They don’t accept any cash over $ 20. I only had a fifty bill but the lady was able to go to the back and break it. The 10% check in coupon was not applied because she didn’t notice me give her my phone on the counter. I paid cash so I thought it was weird that she couldn’t credit me the difference. But it is those small things that will not have me come back. I’ll try other places here in the round Rock area.

They offer a lot more than just frozen yogurt here which I think is cool. They have gelato, custard, banana splits, and even the option to blend your yogurt/​topping concoction together to create a personalized milkshake. That’s certainly something I’ve never seen any other place do.
I like the variety of flavors they offer as well. Currently they have Belgian cookie, chocolate raspberry truffle, mango Italian ice, and sea salt caramel pretzel in addition to the normal chocolate and vanilla flavors. They switch them out daily so I’m willing to bet that you can try something new each time you come.
Speaking of trying something new, I had the oddest exchange with the employee:
Me– Can I get some sample cups please?
Them– Sure, what would you like to sample?
Me– (internal panic as I wasn’t sure what I wanted to sample, I simply wanted to be armed with the cups for when my decision had been made) Uh. um…Crème brûlée I guess.
I stood there wondering why he cared so much about the flavor I wanted to try, until I saw him go to the machine and proceed to fill my cup for me. So… no sample cups then? Alrighty.
I’m sure they have their reasons for coveting the cups but it was strange to me. I like the freedom to browse before I commit, and who knows maybe they will give you multiple samples, but it felt weird to ask again so I went with crème brûlée. I added Heath for crunch and it was actually very good. Probably some of the yummiest frozen yogurt I’ve had to date.
Their toppings bar is kept pristine and when you check in on Unilocal you get 10% off. They also give you 15% off on your birthday. They are family owned and have a space in their back room that can be reserved for special events and parties.

Good ice cream, large portions, plus a 10% discount when you check in on Unilocal?!I’m in.
This place is a western outfitted ice cream/​froyo/​custard by the oz shop. Tons of toppings and drizzles (even animal cookies?! The ones from childhood! Ahhh… it’s like they just GET me, ya know?) including whole cookies and brownies for you to crumble in yourself.
Personally. I got a hot caramel sundae. It’s a preset ice cream order that you can customize if there are changes you want to make. Best part is I don’t have to make it myself (cha-​chinggg).
The caramel was warm and melted the ice cream some… my favorite! It was topped with nuts, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. Delish! It was huge, btw. I didn’t realize how big it was going to be until they handed it over. Uhhhh. It was also sold with a blondie brownie/​cookie but by the time I could actually get down to the brownie, I couldn’t hold anymore. From the tiny nibble I could taste, I wasn’t a big fan of the flavor BUT the rest of the ice cream was amazing so don’t let that deter you!
The employees were very friendly and efficient AND bonus: they don’t seem to hate their job. Woo hoo!
I love that they’re open late… especially on a Sunday night. Inside and outside seating, good music, and a country western atmosphere.
Overall fun and I’ll be back!
