Yoforia

No no no… The service was terrible. We walked in at 9:00pm on a Saturday night after having dinner across the street. I had to check the hours on the door to make sure they were open as the employee was too busy with closing duties to greet us. She didn’t even acknowledge us. That was a bit off-​putting but I still wanted fro-​yo. I looked around for some tasting cups but didn’t find any. I asked the employee, that was busy putting paper towels down on the drip trays on all the fro-​yo machines, for them. She grudgingly walked behind the counter to get us some. Ok… fine… She made it really clear that we were not welcome there. I still took my sample cups and started to pull the levers to try some flavors. To my surprise, the frozen yogurt was far from frozen. They were just a big melted mess, spurting a partially frozen, sticky slurry on my hands. That might have explained all the flashing red lights on the machines. I asked the employee why they were like that. She answered, with no shortage of attitude, that it was really slow and that was why they were like that. She offered no solution. That was the last straw. I left without making a purchase. I had no desire to spend my money at a place where I didn’t feel welcome. I really don’t need employees rolling their eyes at me. There are lots of other fro-​yo spots that are much more pleasant! Needless to say, I will not be returning to this location.

I feel that this is one of the healthier choices for frozen yogurt. The location is convenient although parking can be very tight. The price per ounce has significantly increased lately which is why I give it 3 stars.

I came in here today to cool down from the 105 degree weather and it worked like a charm. There were ample of options for yogurt flavors (as well as non-​dairy options). After sampling a few I choose the Pomegranate and it was fantastic. Other options included Original, Vanilla, Cookies and Cream, and many more. The only negative was that the toppings were a little limited, but the options that they had were nice and fresh.

Yoforia is officially our household’s #1 fro-​yo destination!
The quality of the yogurt here is really high, but it’s not too rich and overly sweet like some other places I’ve tried. Yoforia satisfies your hankerin’ for something sweet and cold, but not leaving you guilty (lower in calories than ice cream and contains pro-​biotics!)
My favorite thing about Yoforia (vs. places like Pinkberry) is that you can custom make your bowl yourself. I’m the type of person who wants to get 3 flavors and have a certain topping on each one (but still in the same bowl) and then only 3 raspberries, 1 blackberry, and just a pinch of coconut over it all… well if you’re OCD like me, this is the place for you!
Fro-​yo and toppings are weighed by the ounce, and in my opinion you get a really good deal as long as you don’t go overboard.
Favorite flavors: pomegranate, mango, taro
This Yoforia would probably get 5 stars if the parking lot out back wasn’t so limited. On the weekends I have to park down the street and hike all the way. Meh.

I liked the number of flavors available for the yogurt as well as the freshness of the toppings. I like that you can put your own toppings on rather than them putting them on for you. This has tables inside and outside & the nice courtyard area to chill & eat your chill treat in.

So I was running around a few shops in this area and decided something sweet would be good. Had I brought my teacup Yorkie I think I could have made a REAL good impression (Dion should get a laugh out of that one).
The place is compact and I selected my flavor and toppings.
Watched the traffic go by… I find these places in CLT very consistent.

With frozen yogurt places cropping up all over the place, it takes something special to make a particular one stand out. I would call this place descent, yet fairly run-​of-​the-​mill.
The good: great fresh fruit topping selection; all of the typical frozen yogurt flavors you would expect; clean, colorful interior
The not so good: some flavors of yogurt were runny; expensive — I’ve been to many other yogurt places like this and this one was definitely more expensive than usual.

I visited this location on a hot day after walking in Freedom Park and it really hit the spot.
I do not know whether it is because it is organic or otherwise, but the yogurt itself was much more flavorful and rich than I have experienced at other froyo shops. Perhaps it is the Stoneyfield yogurt? Anyway, well done there!
There was a good mix of flavors available, and some I have never had in froyo form, such as pineapple and Ferrero Rocher. I like that they stick to more basic flavors than some of the kiwi/​pumpernickel/​chocolate/​nutter butter flavors I have seen in other places.
It is usually toppings that makes or break a froyo place for me. Yoforia has the best fresh fruit selection that I have seen in Charlotte. Fresh cut mango, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, and more are available. There is none of that canned fruit being served here. For that, I love Yoforia. Now, if they only had pomegranate… On the other hand, the more candy/​chocolate/​sugar based toppings seemed a bit lacking compared to other places.
Finally, it did seem a bit more expensive than other places, so don’t go too crazy.
The bottom line: come here if in the mood for a fresh fruity froyo

As a vegan, I really like this place.
I know, I know, you’re probably like «Wha?! but-​but-​but Yogurt is-​is made with Milk. From Cows.» Right you are, sharp reader! But! Yoforia carries a soft-​serve non-​dairy option. When I dropped in here, there was some fantastic raspberry sorbet. I dumped Oreos (yes, they are vegan) and almonds on it. I was in heaven.
The hired help seems like some cool kids, the dairy-​atized yogurt seemed creative (peanut butter, green tea, and pistachio? Pretty neat), and there were too many toppings to keep track of. You can find a combination for anyone– health nut or goody gorger.
So, yeah. Next time I’m in the mood for a super sweet treat, I’ll definitely be back!

I like the ol Yoforia & really like this location, since it’s across from Mellow Mushroom. :D I have my pizza, then walk across the street to Yoforia.
As typical yogurt places go, you get what you pay for, meaning how much your tub weighs is the price per ounce you’ll pay. Watch out for this! You’ll think to yourself, «hey, this isn’t a lot» & go to check out & are «wow’ed».
Another comparasion is the rotation of flavors. I am a huge fan of the pineapple. They don’t really have a huge selection of toppings in my opinion (menchie’s wins this hands down). Also, depending on when you’re there, they fruit may seem a little mushy. Also, that area gets pretty messy & if they’re busy it stays unkept.
Overall, the shop itself is clean & there’s seating inside & outside. Of course on nice days, the front of the store is popular! They’re dog friendly too (outside only of course) with several water bowls out front.

It has been a long time since I’ve had frozen yogurt, but I fell in love again with this somewhat healthy treat after attending Saturdays at Selwyn.
My boyfriend and I went and filled up our cups with about 3 different flavors and piled on toppings from fresh fruit to chocolate chips and caramel. We had a coupon, which was nice considering it was our first time. The next day I decided that I needed some more Yoforia in my life and we drove the almost 30 min drive back to Selwyn Ave for it.
A lover of great food and anything sweet, I got my fix of raspberry yogurt. It’s a great after dinner snack that’s not too heavy, not to mention the atmosphere is perfect. You can sit outside and enjoy the weather, people watch, etc. Definitely one of my new favorite places.

Finally visited a real location instead of a booth. It was a cute little shop with seating out front… brought the pup and friends and had a nice little evening.
I love their yogurt, does all yogurt taste this good? Delicious.
I went with Taro/​Vanilla bean strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and a bit of shredded coconut. It was so tasty! I love that you can try before you commit to a flavor or else I would have never tried Taro but wow it’s a new favorite! I can see how one could really go nuts in this place because I had a modest cup for about $ 3.95 but if you like a large amount then this might not be the most cost effective treat.
I was really disappointed that they didn’t have Ferrero Rocher as listed on their website as they are my favorite candies and would have liked to try that. I also tried the pistachio which was downright gross … and that’s usually a favorite of mine — it tasted really odd though. So I’d avoid that one …

Desperately searching for ice cream /​dessert after a great meal in Plaza Midwood… we drove across town seeing how this listing of Yoforia promised to be open until 11pm. Unfortunately, that’s only on weekends! We managed to get there around 9:55pm and there were still people there enjoying their treats… the two staffers were moving in some tables from the rain, but were still in good spirits. I’m sure it would get old really fast if people kept showing up at the last minute before closing, but that wasn’t the case.
I love where this place is located off of Selwyn. the only fault I find with it is how far away I live from it! I will keep my fingers crossed to see a Yoforia in Matthews in the near future, but for now, I will have to make do with the DQs and Ritas…
I always feel embarrassed when I become «that guy» that walking in minutes before closing, so I just chose a flavor and threw some toppings on it so I could get out of there by 10pm. Next time, I will pay attention to the flavor offerings… more closely… I did notice the green glass tile wall where the yogurt dispensers were located: Pretty awesome and clean look. There’s a lot of space inside and a great fountain to sit around on a hot day.

Walking into Yoforia was like entering dessert-​I-​can-​pretend-​is-​healthy heaven. Its bright and clean and 10 or so flavors of delicious froyo flow directly from its walls. Not sure which delicious creamy or tart flavor you want? Grab tasting cups from by the register and give a few a try. I’m partial to the tart fruity flavors, pomegranate or pineapple, but chocolate, pb and ferrero rocher are delish too.
Next, head over to the toppings bars (that’s right, fruit is a separate topping area). They are not as cereal-​heavy as some yogurt places but really, if there is a general flavor or texture you are looking for, they have it. Oh, and they got extra points with me for having blackberries.
Since they charge by the ounce, it can sometimes be a little harrowing to see exactly how much dessert you have taken on. But just remind yourself that fruit is heavy and you are making a good life choice.

Yoforia, what a great concept, clean inviting store, oh so modern and brightly colored décor. Yummy product, plenty o’ flavors to choose from and you can get as little or as much as you would like with the handy dandy DIY wall of satisfaction.
I enjoy the yo as much as the next guy, my only little quirk is the large portion bowl, it drives me batty, there are two sizes, mucho grande and super size me super big gulp, both portions no one should be eating that much yogurt, fresh fruit, cereal, m&m, marshmallow and teddy grahams. The people that go to Yoforia know the ploy– you give people a larger plate or bowl and they will fill it. Come on, we watch 20÷20… and don’t even get me started about all the waste of paper products.
Let me step off my soapbox and talk about my favorite flavors of dark chocolate and peanut butter with a few m&ms.

Is there no middle ground between the simplicity (perhaps over-​simplicity) of Tasty Yo and the ultra-​modern trappings of Yoforia? This massive edifice to fro yo and they have like three seats inside. There is a nice enough patio/​fountain outside, but really — they could have done with a better interior designer, yo.
For one thing the process is really something you have to grow into. They do have an instruction manual of sorts on a board, and it’s easy enough to do, but then there is a hodge-​podge stack of cups next to the requisite hand sanitizer. The real problem I have here is that it’s all jumbled together, and you dispense your fro you into the cup prior to moving to the fro yo dispensers — way before you even think about toppings. For germ-​o-​phobes (you know who I’m talking about), the sanitizer should really be between the dispensers and the toppings, shouldn’t it?
If you manage to navigate the instructions, you’ll get a tub of cardboard for your fro yo. You should probably not fill it to the top for two reasons. One is because you won’t have any room for your toppings. Two is because they charge by the ounce and this thing is massive. Just because the tub is gigantic does not mean it has to be filled to the brim.
There are some nice fro yo flavors, which is a benefit over, say, Tasty Yo, which has, well, one. I also like that they don’t seem to have that funky fro yo aftertaste that you often get. If you’re an enterprising soul and don’t mind your flavors co-​mingling you can easily fit at least four into the tub. That does make toppings more challenging, but it’s all about the fro you adventure, right? Yo ho ho and all that.
Toppings on the bar have a decent selection, but they could be chopped a bit better, and the syrupy variety could be displayed better, rather than hidden behind one of the supports of the sneeze barrier, yo. The first time through I didn’t even realize you could squirt something on top of it all (easily account for another few cents in the cup). But they are there. You just have to look for them.
All-​in-​all, it’s an interesting experience, and a nice treat on a cool day. But be aware that you might spend more than expected!

Truth? I would marry Yoforia if I could.
Charlotte has been in need of a unique fro yo place like this for soooooo long. This place reminds me of the fro yo places out west as most of them are self serve with an array of toppings then weigh your cup to determine the price. I love the variety of flavors they have (ranging from fruity ones like mango, blueberry, pomegranate to decadent ones such as cheesecake, dark chocolate and peanut butter). Their toppings are out of this world — fresh fruit, cereal (yay Fruity Pebbles!!), candies, crumbled cookies and different sauces such as caramel, chocolate, honey, etc.
I love that you can go in, get out at your own pace and I’ve never had to wait in the line and the cashiers are young and have a sunny disposition. The only bone to pick with this place is the parking but oh well, it’s Charlotte.

Perfect anytime, but especially when the day’s been 96 degrees and humid. Service is excellent, location convenient, interior clean.
I love all the tart flavors, especially pomegranate. Pull a couple tart flavors, top with mochi, capn’ crunch, fresh fruits, and life is good.
Unless of course it starts pouring, gusting wind, and striking tons of lightning. Good thing Yoforia has caps for their cups.

Yoforia is growing on me… especially when they have free yogurt days! My husband and I stopped by to get a free cup of yogurt and we had a great time! It was also fun to see all the other customers enjoying the day too.
Delicious! I really enjoyed the fresh fruit toppings!
The employees were very friendly! Great location and a nice addition to the Myers Park area.

It’s 90 degrees, muggy and sticky… and Yoforia is perfect solution. This Yoforia is in a great location, facing Selwyn Rd. right down the way from Nolen Kitchen.
Inside, Yoforia is super clean and bright with an easy yogurt creation process. Sanitize your hands, grab a mini tub and fill with whatever your want. There are a myriad of flavors, everything from the tart original or pomegranate to the rich Ferrero Roche and cheesecake. Your yogurt creation is weighed by the ounces, $.39 per ounce to be exact so don’t go too crazy!
I’ve tried a few different creations: Ferrero Roche & Cheesecake with walnuts and chocolate chips, and another creation — Pineapple with shaved coconut and strawberries. Each creation was equally delicious and low (ish) in sugar and calories. The froyo averages 25 calories and 5 grams of sugar per ounce. Plus, the topping bar has a ton of choices — from Fruity Pebbles, to pineapple to Butterfinger bits. Thirsty froyo seekers take note though, they do not sell any beverages here! BYOW — bring your own water. :)
I highly recommend Yoforia to satisfy any sweet tooth!
