Pinkberry

Ehhh I don’t eat Fro-​Yo (isn’t this place Fro-​Yo?), but they do have a vegan option here that I might try if my brother ever drags me back here.
That being said they have a variety of fresh toppings, a lot of outdoor seating, and are pretty affordable (my brother’s small was 5 bucks, loaded with toppings). My brother, friend, and her sister all enjoyed coming here for desert. Staff was very nice and helpful even though they got slammed.

The staff is very personable. Its in a cute location, not too far from the pier. This fro yo eatery is fun because the customer can play and dress up their fro yo with multiple toppings.
I chose cheesecake.

Yummy frozen yogurt on the Third Street Promenade. Service can be slow at times when the line is long. One price for no toppings or about a dollar more for unlimited toppings. I love the original flavor but the hazelnut chocolate is great too.

I was SO excited to see that Pinkberry now has coconut milk soft serve for those of us that can’t tolerate dairy. FINALLY — I’ve been waiting for mainstream soft serve chains to offer this option for ages. The best news? The soft serve tasted like regular ice cream, if not better. It was one of the best dairy-​free ice creams I’ve ever had. If you can’t tolerate dairy and are craving soft serve instead of the grocery store «hard» ice cream, I highly recommend. They even had «kiddie» sizes, which are the perfect size for a post-​dinner treat even when you’re stuffed.
PINKBERRY — PLEASE DON’T EVER STOP OFFERING THIS OPTION!

They left the middle part hollow and charged extra .50 cents for a tiny scoop of chocolate crunch content is not worth the price!!. I will never go back to this store. Yogurt land is way better!

Tiffany! You are impolite, have no manners don’t even know what are you doing there. If you don’t like this job get out! You are hurting this business. Talk to the management team of Pinkberry Corporate to give you some good training to how to talk to customers.

It’s just dairy.
I have to travel to Beverly Hills or New York to find Pinkberry’s all time best creation yet and that is coconut milk based. Very very delicious and I’m completely shocked Santa Monica store doesn’t offer it. Shocked.

Gotta love great yogurt. Pinkberry does it right. Love the Mango sorbet yogurt. My girls love it too and they are frozen yogurt snobs

Not that tasteful as the others, not self service and the portions too small (false cup end, it is not that deep).

I will always give pinkberry 5 stars unless there something horrifically wrong with it.
It’s hands down the best frozen yogurt place. The yogurt is not artificially flavored and more creamy than your traditions froyo place. I alway like to try a bunch of samples but you honestly can’t go wrong with the flavor.
Pro tip: if you get the toppings then you have to be smart about it. Don’t get things that are too large because they will take up too much room. And you can always get the waffle on top

The new coconut dairy-​free frozen yogurt is NOT vegan. It’s kind of misleading since it says «includes casein» in very small font at the bottom of their posters. The just fruit peach passion is vegan, though. It was decent albeit pricey.

This pinkberry has improved. The service is always great and the flavors are too. Sometimes their machines aren’t always working, which is a bummer. Other than that, the employees are nice and helpful.

So this place is across Steak N Shake. I wanted a shake, but they were all out of the flavor I wanted and I noticed there was a pinkberry right across.
I went from sad to happy like in a second. I love pinkberry and it was a while since I had bought some yogurt from here. I went in and I noticed a little boy with a tiny cup of yogurt.
I never knew they had those, but it was so cute. I was with my little brother and we usually buy him a little bit of yogurt with a big cup.
I asked the cashier about it and she smiled and said yes we have those tiny cups. He was so excited because he saw the boy with it and asked me for it.
I bought it for him and the cup is small, but man do they know how to pack on yogurt. He added to toppings and it didn’t seem to fit anymore and somehow they managed to squeeze it in without having a mess.
Eventually it was too much yogurt for him and he ended up sharing with one of my sisters. I got the medium cup with original and mango.
I loved the original and the mango. The mango taste like fresh mango, not like the powder taste. It was really good, but I didn’t really enjoy them together.
I got them separated, but when I would get a little bit of original and then a little bit of mango I had a different taste in my mouth.
I just ate the original because I enjoy it more and gave the other half away. Next time I know just to get one flavor.
Anyhow, The place was really clean and there was outdoor and indoor seating. The employees were very friendly and all of them greeted us with a warm smile.
We asked for samples and one of the girls attended us real nice. There was people coming in and I didn’t want to hold up the line so I told her to attend them.
She told me she was going to stay with us and another employee can assist them. So she helped us out for awhile because my little brother wanted to try all their flavors.
I took advantage and was trying them out too. All the flavors were good, but I just really love their original.
We bought 3 yogurts and it came out to be about $ 15. I prefer self serve yogurt that is why I give them 4 stars and not 5. I like to put as much or as little as I want.

two words: Chocolate Hazelnut!

The service here was great, but this might have more to do with the fact that it was 2 PM on a lazy Tuesday than the location itself.
My friend and I sampled the flavors of the day (vanilla, tropical mango, cinnamon churro) and they were delicious! I decided to try a smoothie, and that was a mistake– but one that I can’t blame on anyone but myself. I don’t know why I thought Pinkberry would have good smoothies. I got the banana chocolate and it was pretty bad– hard to sip through the straw and way too sweet. Maybe I’m just used to healthier smoothies but I would NOT RECOMMEND this.
I don’t want to down vote for this one bad smoothie– Pinkberry is otherwise great! 3.5 stars overall.

I feel like the portions are getting ever smaller at Pinkberry. I think the business model is antiquated because of the competitors out there, especially Yogurtland. This place is conveniently located on the Promenade but completely empty when I went. You have a small selection f yogurt flavors and some toppings. You get 4 toppings included if you add $ 1.50 more. There are also some premium items. Some are fruits, but most are variety of chocolate candies.
I got the hazelnut flavor and my friend got the pomegranate. They were just OK.
There is some outdoor seating, great for people watching. Otherwise, it’s overpriced froyo.

All time classic. They have six flavors plus the Original and healthy fruit toppings as well as candy and chocolate toppings. And now they have smoothies and apple pie a la mode. Pinkberry’s keeping up with the times!

I like Pinkberry. Sometimes you just want somebody to serve you fro-​yo and to make it look all pretty! So, after dinner on The Promenade, we decided to head to Pinkberry for dessert.
Their new concoctions include the brownie a la mode and apple pie a la mode. After a mix-​up with a friend ahead of me, I decided to take the brownie a la mode that the employee had inadvertently made. As for which flavor of froyo to top it with, I wasn’t sure. I don’t like the original and I didn’t want anything fruity so I tried the chocolate chip cookie but it tasted like cookie dough… yuck. I went with the mint chocolate chip over the warm brownie with hot fudge, almond shavings and whipped cream.
I’m not sure if the brownie is some generic, boxed or packaged variety but covered by melting froyo and other toppings, it was actually pretty good. They were generous with the portion and for $ 5.95, I would consider getting it again.

First Pinkberry experience, ever. WOW!
This place is ridiculously amazing! I wish it were so difficult to get to, and other locations weren’t so far away. Well, it would be dangerous if those realities didn’t exist.
It’s pretty expensive, but I think you can get away with sharing one cuppa with your love and still be satisfied — even though of course, you can still eat more, even if the cup was never-​ending b/​c this stuff is JUST THAT GOOD!
Their plain, is just tasty! It’s the perfect mixture of sweet & tart, and even though it’s not a «flavor» it’s nothing near bland. Add those berries yo.

It’s on 3^rd Promenade — across street from Nike.
It’s small. You order on the left side and pay on the right side of the counter. Décor is simple and in while like everyone else. Very friendly staff. Parking buildings by city of Santa Monica (first one hour for free!) are everywhere around here. Next to «kitson» (across street from the shop) is the closest one.
They have like 5 different flavors on fro-​yo. People seem to like the original one.
Toppings here have more varieties in fruits than others. They also had «mochi».
Medium size is «unlimited toppings». Small size was like $ 5 and good enough for me.

Salted caramel: A little bitter caramel flavor, which is good! But I think «fro yo» here is denser in texture and more expensive than other fro yo places. It’s more like a «soft serve». It was good anyway, but it’s a bit different from typical «fro-​yo».
— Conqueror’s Deduction —
I prefer «fro-​yo» to «gelato» (ice cream is the best for me :)) That’s why I came here — the decision for the place wasn’t mine: p
I’m more like a go-​to-​new-​place kinda girl than coming to a chain ;p
This is OK. Good yet nothing special to me.
