Studio Yogurt

Awful awful service! So the Unilocaler that i am i’ve been drooling over the pics of this «awesome «yogurt. The friend and i decided to give it a try. The minute i walk in the girls behind the counter have major attitude ok, so then i proceed to ask «how does it work?» And one of them mumbles and points to the menu in the back and rolls her eyes uuugh! How rude!!! Yogurt was way sweet and super rich. Never coming back here. Unilocal this is the first time you’ve disappointed me.

I felt like a part of me died when this place closed down. I had been driving to santa monica every weekend to the Big Chill .
UNTIL I stumbled upon an AMAZING low carb yogurt place right in my very own neighborhood.
It is called Humphrey yogurt and I am officially OBSESSED. They have 4 thats right FOUR low carb flavors and the portions are beyond generous. I am so beyond relieved to have found this place and so is my gas tank :]
check them out. I would love for them to stay open so please give them a try:

«OMG, Nooooooooooooooo!!» This was my reaction as I drove by the other day and realized that my favorite frozen yogurt place EVER was gone! Gone like the wind! Why? Oh, God, WHY? I literally was on the verge of tears.
For years when I lived in Studio City I would go here for the best frozen yogurt, sometimes several times a week. I’ve been living out of state for the past few years and I’m completely serious when I tell you that one of the top things on my list of reasons to come back to LA was Studio City Frozen Yogurt. So sad. Just. Words can’t describe. Please come back!

My favorite Froyo place EVER! They’re very generous so a small is good enough for me! Let’s not forget toppings on the bottom AND top, and only for $ 1! I usually just get the low carb options which are always tasty.
I’m SO sad they’re closing! I don’t know where I will go! :(

Two stars for the service and lack of cleanliness. The one server, let’s call her Precious looked like she wanted to brutally murder every customer that stood in the long line. She literally said «I’m about this close to cursing every one of y’all out right now». And I believed her. No one was being rowdy or anything, just a long line on a Friday night.
The place looked like a pig sty. Dirty napkins and taster cups on the floor and so many toppings crunched up covering the floor and counter tops. Seriously seriously dirty. No wonder this place is closing. The workers clearly don’t give a crap about their job or the place anymore.
Actual yogurt is good tho.

First off, cash first! Remember if you’re ever going to come here. There’s an ATM, but we all know how crappy fees can be…
Other than that, prices are really nice and so are the portions. They go heavy with toppings which is usually a good thing until I see how they’re put on. I don’t like the method of shoveling it on then letting any crumbs that don’t stick on the ice cream fall back into the rest of the toppings, it’s kind of… Ew…
But I just get the ice cream alone, which tastes great. Customer service is iffy, they seem more into talking to each other than helping a customer. Either that or one will endlessly stare at you until you decide on something, it’s a bit creepy.

Nothing special, but decent pricing. Although most of the flavors come from the ubiquitous YoCream brand, they also have one flavor that is lactose-​free from a different company and a few flavors of low-​carb yogurt from yet another. I thought the lactose-​free yogurt was terrible. I didn’t try the low-​carb options.
Despite that Studio Yogurt uses YoCream, the flavors weren’t as rich as I’m accustomed to. Are they more diluted to save money? Is that why pricing is better? (Note: Studio Yogurt prices the old fashioned way: by size, not linearly by ounce. It works out better for everyone, unless one gets only a few ounces). Each size up is only $ 0.50 more than the previous size. A «pint» at Studio Yogurt, I believe, is 24 oz (or so they post). That’s 50% more than a real pint — and it’s only $ 5. If Studio Yogurt was only using a 16 oz pint, it’d still be cheaper than most of those «by-​the-​ounce» posers, charging $ 0.38-$ 0.55 per ounce. Because they use a 24 oz pint, the price is half or less than the bullshit competitors with their scales. But, again, the flavor was absent. Great consistency, but not great yogurt.
The service was both nice and rude simultaneously.
I don’t live here, so it’s unlikely I’ll ever return. That said, it’s far from certain that I would if I did.
Please note: Cash Only.

If I was just rating the yogurt and the price — I’d give this place five stars. I’m a strictly chocolate vanilla swirl kinda girl, so I can’t judge on the other flavors, but the swirl is delish. You get SO MUCH yogurt and they put toppings on the bottom of the cup AND on top so you get toppings the entire time you’re munching on your yo’. You get more bang for your buck here than you do at the other frozen yogurt places.
The cons — the service is hit or miss and it’s cash or check only. I don’t always carry cash, so my visits to Studio Yo aren’t very frequent.

The froyo is delicious! Tons of unique flavors and they put the toppings UNDER the froyo as well as on top which I think is a brilliant idea :)
I would have given 5 stars but the staff was rude and unpleasant. But the huge servings and cheap prices trump that so I just ignore their attitudes and eat my yummy frozen yogurt.

Large is only $ 4.50 and I got 3 flavors…
Peanut Butter, Chocolate Pudding, and Pumpkin Spice!
Usually, yougurt places charge by the weight, and this place is all one set price.

if you know the famous bogurt yogurt in San Diego this is very much alike. Not too many flavors to choose from like many froyo places these days but good thick (not runny) yogurt. Cash or check only. No credit card. But yum to the yummy toppings.

This place reminds me of the frozen yogurt shops back in the 80s before this recent commercialized self serve boom started. The yogurt is amazingly creamy and tasty. The self serve places I’ve gone to usually have very icy very melty yogurt.
The quality of this is the best I’ve tasted in la. They are very generous with portions and toppings and the price is very cheap for the large amounts you get.
5 stars. Id rather come here than yogurtland or menchies or those other mass chains.

SO MUCH YOGURT!
Studio Yogurt is delicious, with rotating flavors to choose from. You can follow them on Twitter to find out what they’re serving. Pretty inexpensive considering the sizes! I get a small, split between two flavors, and I can never finish it. It’s enormous.
Great topping selection, too, and they’ll put toppings on the bottom of the cup — score! Be warned, as others have mentioned, if you have allergies, they use the same spoon for almost all of the toppings.

The only reason everyone goes to Menchies is because they haven’t fount this place yet. Super friendly staff and tasty flavors. An obscene amount of fro-​yo topped with (and on top of) an obscene amount of toppings. I made myself sick eating a medium size. And it was only $ 5. Crazy! You pick your size for one price (a medium is $ 4) and can add any and all toppings for $ 1 more.
Be warned, if you are gluten free then you might have issues with this place. They use the same spoon for multiple toppings, cross contaminating the goodies, and sometimes pieces of toppings get into the wrong containers. I suppose I could have asked them to use a fresh spoon, the staff is friendly enough to accommodate, and made sure to choose toppings that didn’t have hidden cookie pieces in it.

Good yogurt.
Lots of flavors.
Friendly staff.
The toffee flavor was Meh.
The coconut was creamy and cloud-​like.
The chocolate almond was the most interesting flavor however it was a ‘carb-​lite’ froyo so in sample size it tasted delicious but once i ordered the heaping small portion it was obvious that it wasn’t at all actual yogurt– it had an icy, synthetic consistency and after i ate it, it left me feeling with a weird sensation in my stomach that I can best describe by comparing it to having swallowed large pieces of rubbery chewed up bubblegum.
I guess if you are into the carb-​lite fad it’s a good alternative?

DEEEEEE-​LICIOUS! I get myself the low carb option while my younger sibling gets the sugary creamy option piled w/​goodies. They even lay the toppings on the bottom of the cup. And oh boy, do they give generous portions! We both leave quite happy!
CASH ONLY!

The best frozen yogurt (the healthy kind!) I had chocolate malt flavor recently and it had 8 calories an ounce. Yes, I believe that’s lower cal than fruit, or water, or even air.
Plus they give you huge portions and roll the yogurt around in a magical pile of toppings. It’s no fuss, and it’s truly remarkable.

Wow! What a terrific yogurt place with great energy, and I’m not the only one who knows it. 12 people standing in line, and from what I understand, this is nearly all day long. This is my new favorite yogurt place in the area.
The formula: hire service-​oriented yogurtistas (well, what would YOU call them?) with a smile, use high-​end machines, serve quality products, provide 8 – 12 flavors including low-​cal, and low-​carb (Carbo-​lite), allow for lots of sampling, and charge about $ 4 for an 11oz small cup (aka «mountain»).
The texture was creamy, generous portion for the price, and the flavor I chose, Strawberry Cream, was amazing — all at a low cal/​carb option. I was tempted by their tons of toppings — but, alas, I am a purist and prefer without.
This is a 5-​star for everything except for the décor and the cleanliness. I don’t like the tables and chairs inside at all (metal), and it wasn’t kept clean enough… with the entire staff of 3 handling the yogurt customers…1 employee should still keep an eye on it. Additionally, a smattering of outside tables facing the parking lot may also be a better choice when warm enough.
Tip: much easier parking situation than it looks.

I love the frozen yogurt here because they dispense YoCream, Carbolite and Dream Delite which gives me alot of options. The peanut butter and country vanilla YoCreams are my personal favorites and they always have them plus chocolate and they rotate two other flavors of YoCream, two flavors or Dream Delite and three others which are no sugar added or lactose free.
What I appreciate even more is the Twitter updates with the flavors for that day. They change flavors every few days or so that Monday and Tuesday have one menu, Wednesday and Thursday have another menu and Friday, Saturday and Sunday have another group of options.
The topping choices are great and I love how the girls put a couple spoonfuls of toppings in the bottom of the cup, fill’er up with froyo and then pack on more toppings! I’m sure I’ll be there again this weekend!

Yay!!!
I’ve never stopped loving sweet frozen yogurt, and lately I’ve been going to Yogurt Land a lot, despite the fact that it’s crowded and dirty. My BF kept driving by Studio Yogurt, and being that he despises Yogurt Land, we absolutely had to find another place.
As another reviewer has accurately noted, this is old school, sweet and creamy froyo. It’s not that nasty tart crap they serve at Pinkberry, it’s not the hard stuff that has to be processed through a mixer, like you’d find at Humphrey Yogart, or the strange stiff textured semi-​sweet stuff at the YL.
I think it’s important to note these differences, as there are people (like myself) who basically only like the sweet kind. The existance of places that serve that other crap actually make me a little angry, as I do not know why they exist.
Back to Studio Yogurt. They had a wide selection of flavors of creamy sweet froyo, as well as a large number of toppings. The girls working there were pleasant and gave me a punchy card, which I plan to fill. The place was busy but clean, with a lot of seating and a good amount of parking.
All in all, a great first experience! Which brings me back to «Yay!!!»
