Yovana

I was happy to find this new place in the Charlotte airport. I was craving a smoothie, something cool and fresh and much healthier then the other fast food-​like places around, plus something that could be made fast (not much time in my lay-​over). I had partied hard at a family reunion the night before in Atlanta so I needed to rejuvenate before a big orchestra concert that afternoon back in Boston. Luckily I saw they had some dairy free options plus SOY MILK! Yes a national yogurt chain (they are related to TCBY) has SOY MILK! Oh yes! How time’s a changin’! Thank you thank you thank you! I got one of the smoothies with soy milk to go and it was great. I will certainly come back next time I’m around. Thanks to this place, this vegan played a great concert that afternoon.

Ordered a small and large cup of frozen yogurt at the Charlotte Airport. They were obviously the same size and amount of yogurt. When I asked the server if she could add a little more to the large to make it look like a size difference, she snapped and said «that’s how much fits in the large container». I should have just taken the small one and left, but was in a rush and just grabbed them and left, irritated. Poor customer service. Yogurt was good.

OK, I got this yogurt again, and it’s good but it’s definitely way too sweet and too thick for my taste now! I do like how it’s in the airport though and it’s a great place to get a little snack or breakfast in the morning!

Love the fresh fruit yogurt parfait. Usually greeted and served quickly.

Yummy.
But expensive… typical airport prices.

Yes, I got to spend $ 5 on a small cup of fro yo! Wanting a cool and light treat, I headed over to Yovana on my layover. I don’t know what it is about frozen yogurt places that makes people become mindless idiots but the people in front of me seemed to be confused by the whole frozen yogurt process and how to order. The girls working there didn’t help either as there were three of them on staff but more engulfed in their conversation about their latest tattoo than reducing the size of the line. Ordered the white chocolate macadamia nut and it was meh. Paid more to have fresh strawberries on it and soon found out that they put the strawberries in the middle of the cup of yogurt rather than on it-​not a fan. That is just asking for a trip to my dentist right there, baby girls at Yovana, please let me decide if I want the strawberries in or on top of the yogurt.

I almost missed it! Its located in the corner beside the Chilli’s near terminal D
I arrived in Charlotte and the Chatty Kathy that sat near me on the plane worked my last nerve on the flight… so I needed a reward for not getting detained by a SKY MARSHALL!!!
I’m on the new Fro Yo kick and even tho there are a few options at this airport I wanted to try something new. I was so happy that when I departed I had to make sure I got to the airport early (which is RARE) so I could take some on the plane. YUMMMY!
Price is decent for an airport — I paid $ 5 ish for a parfait/​froyo with three toppings… the lady behind the counter was nice and really packed my cup. Let’s hear it for Southern Hospitality!

So, after my less than average experience at Bojangles across the way, I was left feeling unsatisfied and wanted a treat. A treat, treaty enough to make me happy, but didn’t make me feel worse about myself after eating such horrible fried chicken.
I walked past this place, and walked back. I got a big mound of delicious froyo, and could not put it down until it was empty. (Had a seat, could have easily taken my duffle bag off, and answered my text messages — but nope.)

Didn’t believe me? I purposefully scheduled a round-​trip flight to fly through Charlotte on both legs, just so I could go to Yovana.

Tasty product, but the woman working there was playing in the strawberries because she was bored. It was like a little kid playing in his/​her lunch food in the cafeteria! It was awful! She was just fiddling around in the fruit they use to top the ice cream and leaning over the counter to support her big big self. Note to TCBY: I’m paying in part for the service here instead of going to the grocery store to serve myself… so make sure your employees aren’t so bored that they fiddle around in the merchandise. So unappetizing!

How on earth does a little commuter airport like CLT have such a rad, kick-​ass frozen yogurt place?! Just tried it last week as I was killing time during my layover back to SFO and I was b-​l-​o-​w-​n a-​w-​a-​y by how awesome the frozen yogurt was! I had a swirl of chocolate & macadamia nut, and seriously, it tasted like an all-​night party in my mouth (don’t be gross, I mean it in a heavenly way). Everything is made fresh daily, and was the creamiest, most flavorful, fresh frozen treat I’ve ever had. If you ever have to deal w/​a crappy layover @ CLT, do yourself a huge favor and make life go from arrrgh-​to-​amazing with a swirly-​poo of Yovana.
I struggled with — 1 star b/​c the ladies serving were so friggin’ slow (despite the line, mind you), but then again, it is the South, and me thinks they’re on a different clock than the rest of us. They were very nice though!

AMAZING!!! I was in the charlotte airport looking for something light… but tasty to eat and i came across yovana. Of course i had no idea what they sold. I ask the cashier did she like the yogurt and she replied its really good. we make it fresh everyday… I never ate yogurt until I started working here. So i figured it must be good. I opted for the yogurt parfait which costs about 5.00. its plain yogurt and you get to choose which fruit and granolas you want in bottom, middle, and top. they’re options include raspberries, blueberrys, strawberrys, vanilla almond granola, strawberry granola and some other items. I got it with strawberries and the mixed granola. I sat down to eat it and boy was it good. I went to their website to find out if there are any in the atlanta area but sadly there are currently only 2 stores one in salt lake city and charlotte airport. They should be opening many more stores in 2009! The parfait was such a refreshing treat. THe fruits were fresh and jus soooo freakin good. IF you’re ever in the charlotte airport stop by and give it a try!
