Yogoya

Been to a few «froyo» places and this one seems to be the only one in the area that makes their yogurt from scratch — not powder. The layout is quite simple and clean — not a ton of flavor selections, but I guess that comes with an all-​natural, homemade frozen yogurt. The flavors they do have are the classics plus some others like «Taro,» which seems to be popular. They have plenty of toppings for my needs and the hot fudge is the best I’ve tasted in a froyo shop. When the owner is present, he is friendly and pleasant to chat with. However, if I were to give a suggestion, it would be to train the staff to be a bit more welcoming. But, I don’t go for the staff, I go for the dessert… Overall, I recommend Yogoya.

DONT GO HERE!
My girlfriend and I went here and within 15 minutes we both felt sick. The chocolate tasted nothing like chocolate, possibly spoiled. The Cheesecake flavor tasted like coconut, in my opinion, but at the very least it was NOT like New York Cheesecake – also possibly due to spoilage.
I told the lady working about how the cheesecake tasted like coconut, and she told me that I was wrong as she had tasted it in the morning and it was indeed cheesecake. She could have tasted it for herself just to make sure, to at least acknowledge my claim, but instead she chose to dismiss me and tell me they don’t even have coconut (when coconut is actually a flavor displayed on the storefront window) and force a fake smile and laugh so as to get me out of her way as fast as possible when no other customers were even in the store.
Fortunately for my girlfriend and me, there was a Burger King right down the street where we could grab some regular vanilla ice cream cones which proved far tastier than the yogurt-​like material we trashed as we were leaving the store.

The staff was very unfriendly. I was looking for a place to hang out for a few hours because I had my car done right across the fairground. Figured it was better to stay here than at a busier coffee shop since it was practically empty. The lady was nice at first, but started giving me an unpleasant look after a while. I explained to her that I was waiting until a certain time and even offered that I move myself to another chair. She just rolled her eyes at me, gave out a loud sigh and flicked her hand at me rudely. I even had the intention to buy another cup before I leave. Not happy.

the location is beautiful but the woman who was working there (owner?) clearly hates children. she rudely expressed her distaste when they tried to stand on tiptoes to see what toppings there were, would not let them touch anything, and stood awkwardly and watched as they climbed up on their chairs, like they were going to break something. if you don’t like kids, lady, you should be selling something they don’t like. we will take our business elsewhere, and tell everyone we know to do the same. good luck to you running your business that way. and reading through the rest of the reviews just confirms this is the norm

Nothing wrong with the product, but the place is not children-​friendly. Hovering and apprehension and disapproval from staff. Unfriendly.

I had an unsettling experience at this establishment. I have been a paying customer several times (yogurt was blah and some toppings were stale) so I thought it was acceptable to make an emergency restroom stop here for my four year old while purchasing chocolate next door. I didn’t have any other options. We were neat and quick. Upon exiting the bathroom, I smiled and explained we would be in another day. The proprietor was visibly angry and yelled at me in front of my children. It was unsettling and unexpected for a casual food establishment in a family oriented community. I do not feel comfortable returning.

Just okay. Nothing to write home about or to make you want to return. I stopped in one night when my favorite frozen yogurt place had closed and regretted the decision while making my yogurt. The brownie pieces were stale, there weren’t many toppings to choose from and the marshmellow topping tasted like Acetone (I’ve never tasted acetone but the smell of it is what I tasted).
If your in the area, drive a few miles down the road and stop by SoYo! They are definitely worth the trip and you won’t be disappointed!

Awesome mango. Cute and reasonable. Friendly staff

This yogurt, somehow, has gotten better. Between my new obsession with the tart yogurt’s creaminess and Mr. Yogato’s (Fell’s Point, Baltimore) decline, I have no problem driving the 20 minutes to get here to satisfy my froyo addiction.
Still pricier than it should be. But I’ll cough up the cash and get a little less yogurt. It’s a good thing this place isn’t closer to where I live!

Fix-​it-​yourself frozen yogurt by the ounce. Yum!
Very cute layout, cozy couches resemble a loungy living room, some counter seating by the windows, some outdoor seating. There was what looked like a dessert case that could be used to hold some cool cookies, brownies or cupcakes, but it was empty (frowny face)
For me, the best part about this place are the toppings. This is the only froyo place that has peanut butter sauce and peanut butter candies. IMHO, you can’t have one without the other.
The ice cream flavors were a little plain Jane when I visited– vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, original tart, and some swirl combos. (not a complaint, I like vanilla). I’ll post an update if I find out that they switch up flavors on a regular basis. But, I’ll definitely be back for the vanilla.
Update: on my most recent visit, I discovered more flavors: vanilla, chocolate, original tart, mango, banana, blueberry, and strawberry are what i can recall. I am sure that I am leaving out two more fruity flavors.

Best frozen yogurt in Baltimore! Original and coconut are my favorites, but they have many other flavors & toppings galore! They always have fresh fruit toppings, and a bunch of the traditional candy toppings too. It’s the closest thing to Pinkberry you’ll find around here.

When yogoya opened right across from where I was I was so excited — however the slim flavor selection and high prices make it almost worth the much longer trip to Tutti Frutti. They are also no longer letting customers sample flavors after this week and are not as friendly as the workers at Tutti Frutti. I also don’t believe the nutrition facts they have posted by their machines… they claim that their fro yo varies from 10 – 14 calories and oz, while Tutti Frutti down the street with almost the same exact product is 30 calories an oz (posted on their website). This would mean that 10 oz of fro-​yo (which is one huge cup) is only 100 calories??? not even the sugar free fat free yogurt at TCBY is that low!!!
at the end of the day i woud rather shlep out to Tutti Frutti than walk across the street to Yogoya.

The shop is very nice, well decorated and always very clean. Plenty of seating available and it feels like a place where you’d want to hang-​out.
The selection of toppings is decent too — there are a lot of options to chose from. Their fro-​yo is good — but I wish it had more ‘tang’ to it. I tried the mocha flavor and it was a little bland… and the chocolate was good but you didn’t get enough of the tart/​tang in either of them.

Sad to downgrade but the past several times I’ve come, some of their non-​fruit options (specifically the mochi and marshmallows) have been incredibly stale… like, hard, teeth breaking stale. Their froyo is still consistently good, but I’ll make a point to go to Tutti Frutti over this place from now on.

If you’re looking for froyo this is the place to get it. Compared to other froyo places in the area yogoya’s product tastes better pure and simple. I’m a tart kinda guy, and their original is the tartest and by far the most creamy. Their fix’ns bar is large and has never run out of items (tutti fruitti has had no mochi on several occasions). They also have a variety of mochi which is always a welcome surprise. If you want to sit down there are very comfortable couches and not the retro hard plastic chairs that tutti frutti has.
Through the grape vine I have heard that yogoya uses actual yogurt in their machines instead of the powder mix that tutti frutti uses. This may be the reason for the cleaner taste and creamier texture.

In the world of frozen yogurt, you either like it tart or sweet like ice cream. For me, froyo is a low-​calorie replacement for ice cream, so I tend to like the sweet and creamy flavors.
Yogoya seems to offer more of the fruity flavors like peach and pomegranate, while Tutti Frutti and Yogi Castle do better in terms of offering more of those comfy flavors like chocolate peanut butter and red velvet cake. Because of that, I will usually go to Tutti Frutti for my froyo fix. But Yogoya usually has one or two comfort-​food flavors like chocolate or mocha on hand. As for toppings, yes, they have mochi, which I think is de rigueur.
On the pro side, Yogoya has a nice outside seating area, with a couple of café-​style tables you can sit at and enjoy your froyo.
On the con side, Yogoya’s website does not have calorie or nutritional info, and the store’s staff do not seem to know anything about the calorie content either. Kinda reminds me of that Seinfeld episode about the non-​fat yogurt that makes everybody gain weight. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

I was once a froyo fiend. I still kinda-​sorta am. Nothing beats Pinkberry, but some are okay.
This place hits the okay mark for me. They don’t have a ton of flavors like Tutti Frutti or Yogicastle, but they have a nice selection of toppings. They also have a watermelon flavor sometimes, which is pretty darn awesome. The original isn’t much to write home about, but it’s okay. The taro is decent.
The toppings are cool. They have various types of cake pieces, fruits galore, cereal, and yogurt covered fruit… along with a bunch of other fun. No fresh pineapple. I was a little miffed about that. The mochi isn’t as soft and lacks the powder coating found at most froyo joints, but they have green tea, strawberry and mango mochi. That makes up for it to me.

I think I may be a bit biased. Ever since I discovered Tutti Frutti, it has simply become the standard I use when comparing any other frozen yogurt establishment… I’m finding that not many seem to stack up.
In general, I thought the yogurt itself was decent — the consistency was nice and the fruit flavors were not over powering or overpowered by the tartness. But here’s what seemed amiss to me:
1) As you drive up, the storefront has window lettering of various yogurt flavors. I got excited thinking I would have all these options to choose from, but lo and behold, there were a total of 8 available, three of which were vanilla, chocolate and plain. Boo.
2) They had a decent selection of toppings, quite similar to Tutti Frutti, but somehow the presentation lacked a bit. I think it had something to do with each of the containers looking like they needed to be refilled, but they didn’t get around to it.
3) Their mochi was a smaller cut than usually available, so I found that they became hard before I could get to all of them.
All in all, it wasn’t a terrible experience yet I’m still very much partial to Tutti Frutti.
