Yummy Yogurt Cafe

Introduced to this spot when I first came out to Sacramento and since Old Sac and Downtown Plaza were my first spots of exploring the city this holds a special place in our hearts. Love the self-​serve options as on hot summer days this place provides reasonably priced treats for the masses. Get your Fro-​yo grub on with EXTRA toppings to your own enjoyment Great staff and variety to be had. Enjoy Yummy Yogurt 5 of 5 stars!

I would always come here whenever I have time during my longest class breaks from SCC. Even though Big Spoon Yogurt is just around the corner from SCC, I prefer going to Yummy Yogurt instead. Why?
1) Cheaper than BSY (from what I’ve noticed after comparing and contrasting the two froyo places)
2) Has more flavor than BSY.
3) Small and never crowded inside (that’s because I’m there during the weekdays haha)
4) Friendliest staffs ever!
5) Stamp cards! Yay!
The only downside is that they don’t have much topping varieties, but as long as I have my froyo then I’m happy. It’s definitely worth my time to come to Downtown Sac just for Yummy Yogurt, go shopping after I’m done feasting (if I need anything), or head to Old Sac and relax there for a while.

A nice little self-​serve froyo stop. A cute mascot sign beckons you to come inside, and the flavors of the day are displayed outside the door. Once inside, the staff seems very friendly and there’s a convenient chart on the wall providing nutrition facts and calories for each flavor — something I always appreciate.
Most recently, the flavors I got were:
— peppermint (surprisingly still in season after the holidays)
— sexy chocolate (that’s really what it’s called!)
There’s a fairly good variety of toppings to choose from — the usual nuts, brownie bits, yogurt and chocolate chips, both chocolates and sour gummi candies, fruits, and fudge/​raspberry sauces. The mochi is sized a little smaller than what you see at other places but is still good. I was a little amused by the «sneeze guard» covering the fruit station, basically a piece of plastic wrap hanging over the fruit display. Whatever works!
Grab a neon spoon and enjoy some froyo next time you’re at Downtown Plaza!

This yogurt shop inside the mall impressed me. I liked the cute kitschy atmosphere of it. The flavors of the yogurt were interesting and different than most other yogurt shops which i liked. The mango yogurt i shared with my 3 year old son whetted both our appetites, which isn’t an easy thing to do. He has very different likes than I do so the fact that we could share this yogurt is saying something. My favorite part of this shop though was the fact that the staff was helpful. I’d never been there and the guy behind the counter showed me around.

Amazing yogurt of course but the chili is BOMB!!! Gotta get jalapeños olives chives bacon and cheese! Seriously best chili no joke. Staff is super friendly and really nice cute place. Beautiful oak windows. Love it

Nice Stop On Warm Afternoon!
SITREP
This is a great Frozen Yogurt (FroYo) stop, and surprising to me since it is in the Downtown Plaza. I actually wish it was located in Midtown, but what can you do?
THE SETUP
What I love most about this Frozen Yogurt shop is it’s pricing schedule. 40 cents an ounce. Might sound pricey to some, but for the amount of yogurt I usually want (5 – 6 ounces) it’s pretty awesome to walk out of there with only about $ 2-​$ 2.50. I’m not looking to *stuff* myself with yogurt and I don’t like places where I have to pay the $ 5-​$ 7 for a preset fixed cost.
THE MENU
Menu varies, and today was PISTACHIO! Absolutely loved the taste of their froyo so no complaints here.
The other standard flavor swirl machine include chocolate and berry and vanilla and some others. The toppings are very diverse and get included in the pricing-​weight.
It’s fun to be very creative with yogurt here!
WIFI
The one benefit I do see about being in the Downtown Plaza is the free plaza-​wide WiFi. I may not on a particular occasion feel like getting coffee at Starbucks afterwork just so I can use their WiFi. This provides another very tasty option for me to get my WiFi on. :D
THE LOWDOWN
A great refreshing FroYo stop in Downtown Sacramento.

Always a friendly staff. If you’ve never been here they are very helpful with how the self serve yogurt works and are available should you have any questions.
I had the sexy chocolate with Reese’s sprinkles and some other chocolate toppings. Very tasty and affordable. They charge $.40 an ounce so you can get as much as you want or just a small taste.
It is worth a stop and it’s conveniently located near the food court and movie theater.

Totally Kawaii in here.
It would be a kid’s haven.

Great Service, they greeted me and my significant other right when we walked in. When it comes to the selection you wish they had more to select from. With the toppings they have everything you could ask for from candy to moochi. For 2 cups with plenty of yogurt and toppings for both the cost was only $ 8-​$ 9 which is average cost for all other yogurt locations. So if you want to try this location out, I encourage it. At least worth one try.

I love coming here when I’m at the mall. They have a stamp card for each purchase.
Self-​serve and fresh toppings all the time. They charge by weight, so fill up wisely or go crazy! My favorite flavor is the Tangy mango and I always get a side of vanilla!
mhmhmmh goood. :)

Okay, so… Yummy Yogurt Café («YYC») is YUMMY in my TUMMY!!!
I don’t want you to go the wrong idea, and I don’t they’d want you to either. This isn’t some crazy designer froyo joint. It’s not trying to fool you into thinking you’re getting some special something that your body can’t live without. No… YYC just wants to serve yourself some yogurt and they want you to do it in the chillest (I didn’t intend for a pun, but what the heck, pun intended) way possible. They want to do everything right without all of the flair, and GUESS WHAT?! THEY SUCCEED and its NICE!
For me and my coworkers it’s the perfect little spot. If all you want is chocolate swirl with sprinkles, you got it. If you want the tangy stuff and raspberry swirl with almonds, gummy bears, fresh strawberries and granola (my personal favorite), you got it. I’m sure that there’s somewhere that has Pokemon shaped cookies or rainbow sprinkles with a specific turquoise that you prefer, but if you’re not so deep in the crazy, YYC is perfect.
Sometimes all you want is yogurt and you don’t want to be blinded by bright interiors, you’re not trying to go on some culinary adventure and you don’t want to be accosted by things that really don’t matter. When that day comes, take a breath, find your special place and go to YYC for a swirly (or not) mouthful of Yumm-​tastic (did I just say that?) yogurt!
See you soon!

This place is worth checking out if you’re craving something sweet while shopping in the Downtown Plaza.
My friend and I came here to grab some hot chocolate on a mighty cold day (Christmas eve). Our organization was hosting a fundraiser, and it was outdoors, so I thought it would be nice to grab some hot chocolate to warm everyone up a bit.
The service here was great! There were two girls working, and they were both extremely helpful and nice. They also make coffee drinks, so they had a lot of the Torani flavoring syrups and were allowing us to flavor our hot chocolates with whatever we’d like. The small hot chocolate was $ 2.50 I believe, and it was a good amount. As my friend and I were waiting for the hot chocolates, the two girls offered to add more syrup or whatever we needed. This was nice since a lot of the chain coffee shops would charge extra for flavoring in the first place, let alone adding extra.
The only downside was that the hot chocolate was from the Swiss Miss mix packets. I mean, it’s what I would have done at home, but I expected a little something more special.

I have had bad experiences here in the past, but their yogurt is so good that I decided to give them another try… and then another… and then another…
This is the only place I know of that has good pistachio froyo on a rotating basis. I mean, it’s amazing, and they keep it coming back. When that’s not around, their mango is my second choice.
They have the best mochi I’ve found at a froyo shop. It is always fresh and soft and does not have that rubbery taste you may find at other places.
It’s true that the staff is super-​friendly. They are always available for samples, suggestions, and rewards cards. When I told the employee about my love for pistachio, he gave me his business card so that I would be able to call ahead of time and find out whether or not they currently have it.
Since the bad review that I wrote a while back, I have not seen any further issues with sanitation, and they have always had at least five flavors on tap, and there is usually a sign outside to let you know what they are so that you don’t have to walk in and then awkwardly walk out if they don’t have what you want.

I love this place! The staff are super friendly and helped us with samples. She even made recommendations on which yogurt was her favorite and what yogurts to get if you’re feeling a craving for more dairy or tart or fruity or heavy.
Their store is pretty clean and I must admit the most clean yogurt shop I’ve ever been to. When you walk in, head to your RIGHT and that’s where you will find the yummy yogurt.
There are various toppings you can choose from for your yogurt pleasures including plenty of fruit, bursting boba, mochi, and tons of candy. Did I mention that they sell boba drinks too?! Fantastic!
I can’t wait to come here again!

The only good thing about Downtown Plaza Mall is Yummy Yogurt Café. I’ve been here a few times. I remember it used to be a coffee shop that nobody went into because there is a STarbucks down on the first floor. Well that explains why it’s not there anymore. The place is small but still has some of the coffee shop charm. The yogurt room might be an extension. It looks somewhat modern compared to the café room.
The staff is always friendly and helpful. They have about 5 – 6 flavors but limited toppings. Limited tables too if you plan on dining in. They always sell snacks and drinks (soda, h2o, juice)…so if you don’t want to spend your whole life savings on food and drinks at the movie theatre… stop by Yummy Yogurt Café.

LOVE this guy! The have all the traditional toppings, filled to the brim and never clumpy gross.
The standard yogurt flavors are all here, and though it sometimes does that sloooooooooooow churn to sploot out the yogurt, at least it’s never runny and «bruised» (yeah, I drink a lot of cocktails, that just means ice flakes in your yogurt).
Seriously, though, the people who work here make it. The hot fudge is never actually hot, and the rest of the sauces are just Ghirardelli pumps, but at least the yogurt fix is here and the people are great.
It costs about the same as every other yogurt place, too, so don’t fret. But at least they have a frequent-​buyer card. that makes me feel a little bit better about my $ 8 cup.

I went to Yummy Yogurt yesterday for the very first time. They offer a good selection of yogurt flavors but the original one tastes the best. The others tastes way too creamy for my taste. They have a good selection of cereal & desert toppings; however, they have a very little selection of fresh fruit toppings which was very disappointing to me. They charge a little more than other places, $ 0.40 an oz. Is it worth it? I think it is OK given that it is located in the mall. Its a good treat for yourself if you get hungry while shopping

Let me say three simple words: CAKE BATTER FROYO! Soooooo good. Cake batter flavored froyo!!! Sooooooo good. Great! Yummmmy! Their froyo is thick and rich and so flavorful. All of their sauce spigots were broken… so its a darn good thing I loved the froyo! :)
P. S. I highly recommend the cake batter froyo. Shocking, I know! :)

40 cents per ounze which isn’t super affordable, but I had a buy one get one free coupon from the entertainment for this place so it was a good deal/​try! ;)
The yogurt here was yummy, toppings were typical, and service was REALLY FRIENDLY. The owner?/workers were really personable so I liked that!
I’ll come back if I want a quick, sweet snack while browsing the mall.

Inside the haunted Westfield mall or any mall per se, there are corporate and chained retail stores and shops. Malls are primary hangouts for the younger crowd. I feel like one of the younger crowds, when I found this cute independent fro-​yo/​café joint on the upper-​level and right across from the mall’s food court of the Westfield Downtown Plaza.
As you enter on the left of this cute little café, the room serve sandwiches, snacks, cold beverages, coffee and tea. In another room on the right is the «FRO-​YO ROOM». (scary, huh?)
For $.40 a ounce, you get a choice of SIX tentative flavors and they are:
–Euro Tart
–Pomegranate
–Cake Batter
–Strawberry
–Vanilla
–Chocolate
The topping selection are very limited with chopped strawberries as the only fresh topping. Sacramento has plenty of nearby berry farms, «Why can’t they get more?»
The Topping bar:
I had a heaping bowl of Cake Batter which totaled to nearly $ 5.00. And my Mastercard was accepted.
My treat:
Just the like happy girl on the sign, the staff were happy, helpful and very friendly. Unlike many of the hard-​nose workers elsewhere in the mall are strict. This café is the only excitement from the mall.
