Citra Frozen Yogurt

Delicious soy froyo. Haven’t been able to find it anywhere else. The only issue is that they have more than once been out of the soy when my wife and I have dropped by! Soy is what sets Citra apart – they should make sure to always have some on hand!
I love the toppings. Kiwi, blueberries, mango are among my favorites. Occasionally I’ll do coconut for a treat.
Soy froyo is pretty much all my wife and I get here, so that’s all I can really comment on – can’t speak to the shakes or bubble tea. But we do love the place and hope they stick around!

I looooove that they have soy yogurt. It’s the only place in town I’ve found it.
I don’t mind paying the prices, though I may be a bit more financially comfortable than their usual customer (which has not always been the case in my life so I know what it’s like to be on a strict budget) so perhaps they could lower them just a bit.
Their fresh fruit toppings are delicious!
Sometimes they’ll say they’re cleaning their machines and are out of soy, which is a bummer.
Overall, a great place to go for a healthy treat!

Vegan ice cream is often hit or miss, with more misses than hits.
Citra’s soy froyo is pretty awesome… great taste, and dairy-​free!

My five-​star rating is probably largely based off of nostalgia, but I can’t help myself. Affectionately labeled druggurt by me and a couple friends, I found myself addicted to the frozen yogurt here. The girls were always super nice to me despite my excessive enthusiasm – which was nice, considering I had a lot of it.
I usually just got the original flavored frozen yogurt with a topping of raspberries. It wasn’t exciting, but there’s something about that fro-​yo that kept bringing me back! It’s also an amazing place to just lounge around in with a friend given the comfy chairs.

One of THE BEST fro-​yo places in town!
I love fro-​yo! They are healthy and often serve as good snacks after a meal!
I personally like its original fro-​yo flavor the best and even better than the other flavors. I come here often. Though the topping isnt cheap at all — though they can be generous with it!

Very tasty! The first time I had froyo was here a few years ago. The people working are pretty nice.
It was super cute and then they remodeled it with wood all over and it’s not so hip and cute anymore. Oh well. I’ll just go for the treats and not the décor.

The main draw of this place is the fact that it’s clean and that they are the only froyo place thus far that seems to carry soy yogurt for those who can’t tolerate dairy.
Their original flavor is fairly good, light and it doesn’t have that sour after taste that many froyo’s seem to have.
Prices are a bit high and the toppings are done for you. They have only a few yogurt flavors.
I prefer do it your self froyo places, but this place works if you’re wandering the Ave.

–cute/​simple interior with plenty of seats
–a variety of flavors (4 – 5. soy was an interesting one. i was curious to try it, but i stuck with original)
-$ 0.95 for the first topping, and they are generous!
–free wi-​fi
–pretty good portions. I was satisfied with my small w/​mango
–i don’t see many people in here when i pass by, and today (around 6 on a sunday) was no exception. we had the whole place to ourselves!

Interesting little place more north on the ave, they have decent froyo, but one of the things they have that most places don’t is a soy froyo.
Their toppings are pretty standard, but their mochi is sub-​par. I wasn’t a fan of it as it didn’t taste as great as the mochi I’ve had at other places (jewel box).
But for froyo on the ave, its a pretty run of the mill place with a nice interior that is inviting and clean.

Great value for their quality! I live close by, so most of the time I just buy a large size with no toppings. Their large original is less than 5 dollars after tax but it’s completely filled with yogurt. Their taro flavor is amazing! It’s my favorite flavor in their store. I do love their original flavor too — it’s just right — tarty and sweet balanced well! Definitely a convenient froyo store for me.
Their interior is nice, but not much people are around until around the evening.

I give the interior and the décor 5 stars — I really love the interior of this place, from the color of the paint on the wall to the lighting fixtures. So clean, so bright inside and the seating is so comfortable.
There are about 10 toppings that I can still from the counter. I really enjoyed my choice of strawberries. But, I have to say, frozen yogurt is frozen yogurt. It’s really not something special.
It’s a good place to hang with friends and chat.

This was the only froyo place that we were able to locate that opened pass 10pm. Was in luck when we finally found this place as we were on the other side of the town.
Froyo here is yummy. I had the size Small, Original Tart mixed with Strawberry and toppings were Captain Crunch and Mochi. The orignal was tart to perfection. It had a great balance between sweet and tart. The strawberry was flavorful but not overpowering. Both was a great combo. As for the toppings, the ordinary. The girl picked out the original Captain Crunch cereal for me! It was mixed in with the Captain Crunch Berries. So nice of her and she gave plenty. The small size was big enough and the prices were at least $.75 less than what you would expect to pay in the Bay Area or in LA.
Place is spacious and clean. Even though it was raining outside, Seattle folks still like their froyo on a cold day.
Great froyo, Great Prices, Great Service!

I stopped in for some fro yo here last week. Still touring around the fro yo shops of Seattle… This place is probably one of the best on the Ave. Compared to Yunnie it’s much richer and creamier (Yunnie is almost like just really cold yogurt, good for breakfast parfaits but that’s about it) and compared to Pochi it’s less sweet (Pochi will give you a damn cavity). I had the strawberry flavor with rainbow sprinkles and oreo topping. It was pretty tasty. I’m happy to say my server was more than generous with the toppings. And she gave us two pocky sticks since my gf and I were sharing. :D
I think Utopia in the ID is still my favorite as far as variety of flavors and quality of texture/​taste. But this is definitely my favorite shop close to home. Oh and they have punch cards whoop whoop!

I happened to be in the U-​district last weekend, and to me, «U-​district» means «time for bubble tea or fro-​yo.» My favorite place is Yunni, but for some damn reason they’re closed on Sundays, and it ALWAYS seems to be Sunday when I’m in the neighborhood. Luckily there’s a fro-​yo place on every block in the U-​district, so I just randomly picked Citra.
The prices seem pretty typical — $ 2.50 for a small plain tart yogurt (although the portion sizes are about twice as big at Yunni), $ 0.95 for toppings. My small cup was filled solidly, without the «hollow» center other Unilocalers mentioned, but the blackberry topping was skimpy — she carefully arranged a row of blackberries marching around the rim, maybe 7 in all. And they didn’t have mango at all, which is the topping I actually wanted. But she did put a single Pocky stick in the side like a straw, so that was cute, I guess.
As I sat, people came in and out pretty steadily, but nobody really stayed to eat. The atmosphere is clean and minimal, but not welcoming — the chairs aren’t especially comfy and a HUGE flat-​screen TV is blaring news at you from a few feet away. Sound bounces off the bare walls and tile floors, and it’s just kind of cold and impersonal.
Fro-​yo isn’t rocket science, and I got what I was there for, but I wouldn’t make any special effort to go to Citra over other interchangeable places (especially if Yunni was open).
P. S. What is the point of the informational card at the register with nutritional info, if their «small» size is 1.4 servings? Why would you pick an arbitrary ½ cup serving size that you don’t even SELL, Citra? Bleh.

The Froyo 2.0 craze that has been sweeping the nation doesn’t seem to have caught on in Seattle quite yet. Perhaps this city better known for its coffee culture will never succumb to this trend entirely, but despite not having a whole lot to choose from at the moment, there are indeed a few choices around town. One of the more well-​known of the lot is Citra.
As with the milk tea business model, it’s quite a proven formula that building anywhere near a college campus is not just a cash cow, but more like the entire herd. Citra takes this to heart. Situated on the busy University Way corridor, right below a busy gym, not too far from the campus bookstore, and in the vicinity of, you guessed it… several milk tea and coffee shops, this place seems poised to lead the way for the froyo revolution in Seatte… or does it?
On a non-​rainy school day, I strolled in here, and was practically the only person in the shop. I was expecting there to be hoards of students, but such was not the case. Citra has a cute set up, with minimalistic, yet modern, bright colored furniture. The froyo is not self-​serve, and I’ve heard that the flavors alternate, but on this day, there were only three — plain, soy, and green tea.
I just got the small, which goes for a reasonable $ 2.50, but for the green tea and soy, it’s an extra dollar! I sampled both of those, and quite honestly, even with the additional cost not withstanding, plain tart is still the best. All three flavors are pretty much your standard fare froyo, and nothing all too spectacular, but certainly not bad. The toppings are somewhat limited, and are your basic fruits and nuts. These also tack on another shiny buck.
I’m not sure why the green tea and soy are more expensive than the regular. Are there higher manufacturing costs associated with these ingredients? Unless you are a big fan of either of these flavors, I would suggest keeping that hard earned George Washington in your pocket.
The entire time I was there, around 4 pm or so, on a nice, sunny afternoon, not a single person came in. Judging by this, it is probably a sure bet that this froyo wave has indeed bypassed the PNW, onto other cities to conquest. One might be quick to point at climate as a factor, but this ideology certainly doesn’t hold water, since cities much colder than Seattle (i.e. NYC) have been completely engulfed by the madness.
To be fair, I’m not certain about the historic froyo timeline in the Seattle area, so it is difficult for me to gauge the viability of the business. Is the industry still in its infancy? Is it already on the downward slide? Or perhaps, it is just flatlining, and Citra is one of the few lone survivors? In any event, although some items could be improved (more flavors, more toppings, and self serve would be better), the great location puts it in a better position to succeed than most. Hopefully, they will still be standing strong upon my return trip.

This isn’t really something I seek out, but I like it enough that if I’m in the mood for a treat and in the area, I will come here.
I do not like the strawberry flavor, it’s got this funky aftertaste that I just can’t handle. I did get to try the banana flavor today though, and it was good!
It’s pricey for sure which is a big part of why I don’t seek them out. They do have a plethora of toppings to be had which is almost worth the cost of the toppings because the variety is wide and so far fresh. The people who work there are always nice and are very friendly to the kiddos that come in.

Their green tea tastes funny, and their soy tastes even funnier. They have seasonal flavors like banana and blackberry. Their flavor of the day is usually strawberry, which gets boring.
The only reason I ever went to Citra was because UW’s quarterly student survival guide always has two coupons for $ 1 off and a free upgrade.
Downside: their toppings are $ 0.95 for the first one, then $ 0.50 for each additional. It adds up!

Since it is SO HOT right now in Seattle, my family and I decided to stop by Citra to get some froyo to cool off. The look and feel is very similar to all froyo places in the Bay, but there are some key differences in the yogurt.
Citra is definitely of the icey tart variety and their flavors come in original, soy, green tea, and strawberry. We had the soy and the green tea. The soy was pretty good but the green tea was really not. The ads say it’s flavored with matcha (green tea powder) but it tastes like it’s flavored with artificial nestea flavoring. Blech.
On the plus side, they do give you a lot more yogurt and toppings than any store in California and the pricing is about the same.

Good Nonfat Frozen Yogurt!
Yogurt is sold at Citra in Small, Medium, and Large. Original and Green Tea flavor are always available. Toppings available= fruits, candies, etc. A small with no toppings is $ 2.50. The small portion was truly petite and I was OK with that.
The interior is modern and bright. The chairs are inviting for plopping down for a bit. The workers are chatty and sweet– but a little on the super young airhead side– ie couldn’t answer simple questions but tried… kinda…
I was disappointed to learn that Citra’s flavored Frozen Yogurt (ie green tea, strawberry, banana) ingredients were more than just a few ingredients– unlike the original
Fyi’s~
* The offer three flavors– sometimes 4 on a daily basis
* Soy fro yo is available
* The toppings are $.95 for the first one and a reduced price for additional
* They sell interesting shakes combinations, shaved ice, and have protein powder

I am dropping my review a star. I went again this week after ballet. Driving home and eating it– I noticed a large hole in the middle. The inside of the container was hallow– I was not happy about it. The girl was trying to be quick, although there was no-​one else in there.
Not sure when I’ll be back or if i’ll have to ask for the container to be properly filled… good product by they may be having some employee issues.
