When this location first opened, I would stop by at least once or twice a week. Then management changed and the quality of the yogurt and toppings went down terribly. M&M’s, Oreos, Reese’s, etc were all replace with cheap off brand candy that has weird aftertastes and textures. I understand wanting to cut costs but this was so noticeable and drastic. I gave them a few more chances but continued to be disappointed. Now I just go to Menchie’s.

This place USED to be great. Now, at least one machine is broken, the music is way too loud (and inappropriate for children), chairs are stacked up one hour before closing, people are walking out because of low selection, the staff is inattentive (texting and in a horrible attitude). I won’t be coming back anymore.

What’s not to like about frozen yogurt? Definitely a fan — they have rotating flavors here, as at most froyo places. My current favorite is the chocolate-​peppermint swirl. And they have tons of different toppings from fruit to gummies to chocolates to sauces.

My husband and I used to come to this frozen yogurt place all the time but since it has changed management… it’s horrible! They never have favorite favors available… including vanilla, who doesn’t carry vanilla?!? The staff is lazy and unfriendly. I never write reviews on Unilocal but to see an establishment go from awesome to an absolutely horrible place… I felt inclined!

I usually like coming here after a walk around 9:30p but today I got to the store at 9:45p and was told it was closed :/

This place used to be awesome. I think they changed owners over the last several months and it’s really gone downhill. My favorite flavor is original tart. I used to love theirs and now every time I give them «one more chance», I’m always disappointed at how gritty and disgusting the yogurt is now. I miss how it was when it first opened.
***** Update — went ahead and gave them another try yesterday. MUCH improved. I have to say — it’s obvious something major has changed. And I’m glad I will be adding them to my rotation of treat spots!

This spot used to be my favorite froyo spot. Menchie’s is always packed so I was happy to discover this spot a couple of years back. Now they have new owners. The toppings aren’t the same, they are definitely generic brand. The candy, like the gummy worms/​bears taste like gas station brand gummies not Trolli brand, what they used to have. I will not be returning. One of the guys that was there, kind of hovers over you while you’re choosing your toppings.

This place was pretty good. My family and I came here to try it out on a beautiful day after the park. They have a variety of flavors and plenty of toppings to choose from. All 4 of us had our yogurt fix for around $ 10 which was pretty good. They have places to sit inside and outside. There was quite a few people there and parking was not a problem. The service was friendly.

This place is awesome. I go there at least once maybe twice a week. I like this place more than the others close by because it has more variety of flavors and toppings. The service is also good.

No samples, pay by the ounce, enormous container sizes. No thanks! We went to pinkberry instead. Samples and smaller container sizes would be great since pinkberry added 30 minutes to our total trip.

I am no expert in yogurt, but this place is good and they have a wide variety of toppings. I like the loyalty program with your phone number thing. My one complaint… a tip jar? Why is there a tip jar at the register? I did all the work myself. No one served me… I served myself. Don’t get me wrong, I am not cheap. I believe in tipping for service, but the only service they performed was ringing me up and swiping my credit card. Not tip worthy in my opinion.

Delicious! There are always lots of flavors, but I wish that they changed a little more often, or had some more feature flavors that were seasonal. The best flavors are NY Cheesecake and Cookies & Cream, with their Tart being one of the best Tart flavors that I have ever had.
The staff is always super friendly and does a great job at keeping everything very clean and tidy. Definitely love going here for a treat, and will continue to look forward to my Froyo Fridays! :)
Cheers!

I’ve been eating froyo at least twice a week for the last 5 years, and this is the BEST I’ve come across since then.
1. Unlike Swirll and Menchies lately, their froyo here is actually creamy!!! Swirll, Menchies, and a bunch of the other national chains have fallen victim to the watered down liquid that melts before you even ring up. I’ve worked at a froyo store in the past, so this is something that really bothers me when they can’t get it right.
2. They have a variety of flavors to cater to any preferences: tart, several fruit flavors, dulce de leche, red velvet, cheesecake, chocolate, etc.
3. They do have sample cups, you just have to ask. All of the people working there are very helpful and friendly. They’ll make the sample for you, which I like so it’s not dripping all over the sample cup and my hands.
4. Tons of different toppings. Fruit, candy, etc. Awesome brownies too.
5. Giant comfy sofa thing to sit on, and tables.

They offer several flavors and you serve yourself. Variety of toppings and they just weigh it all at the end. So this is probably wrong of me but I think tart and froyo as being synonymous. Unfortunately the tart flavor here is way too tart, which makes it terrible, which makes this place terrible. I tried it several times thinking it was a one off but it’s not. I did venture out try other flavors and did find some good ones. Their vanilla taste just like McDonald’s soft serve and who doesn’t love that? Big compliment, pat on the back, you win.
So place satisfies the craving although not the tart flavor. Price is a little more than others but guess that’s what they need to do to survive in the declining fad of froyo.

So I never used to eat frozen yogurt, but now I find myself eating it like once a week. I spotted this place while on the way to another yogurt store, so I figured I would give it a try.
This is one of those serve yourself yogurt stores that have become popular. You pay by the weight of your yogurt. They did not have the little cups to try and sample the different flavors, so you just have to guess if you will like it or not. I really prefer to be able to sample first.
They had plenty of toppings, and they were organized, neat and clean. I hate a messy toppings area. Their sauces were all in plastic bottles. I would prefer for my caramel to chocolate sauce to be warm, but oh well.
Overall the yogurt was just OK. It was definitely not as creamy as others I have had. Not being able to sample and find what I liked before making my sundae definitely hurt the experience.

I love frozen yogurt! I just moved into the area and already have satisfied my froyo cravings multiple times. U-​swirl offers about 12 – 14 different flavors including fruits, chocolate-​y sweets, sorbets, and also sugar-​free options. Toppings table is always neat and stocked with the freshest ingredients!
They also have a frequent visitor system where you type in your number and rack up points. For every $ 50 you spend, you get a $ 5 gift card, pretty awesome!

Like most popular yogurt spots, u-​swirl has a variety of yogurt flavors. I’ve been to a lot of them, but this place has some yummy sweet flavors: peanut butter, cookies n cream, and red velvet cake to name a few. Woah! Very smooth and creamy, but not too sweet.
Fresh toppings like candy, cookies, nuts, and syrups.
Nice follow up to lunch/​dinner at the many options in this area.

I get pretty excited when I’m running errands in the area because I think «Yay! An excuse to get some fro-​yo!»
The yogurt has a nice creamy texture, not the ice-​like little crystals that some places have. They have all the toppings I love and no matter how much I tell myself «I’ll only fill up half of the cup,» I end up piling on the goodies.
If you want banana, just ask and they will slice one for you. They don’t leave it out as it browns quickly.
They do have a «frequent flyer» card that is associated with a phone number so customers can get free cups. Nice touch.

First off, the name is god awful. I get the pun but I cringe every time I drive past this place because of how generic of a name they chose. I’m really surprised that they opted for the higher grade froyo machines instead of the terrible, always too much air, machines that most places seem to be cursed with. That extra investment pays off: U-Swirl’s yogurt is actually creamy, it isn’t airy and garbage, it actually has good texture and taste.
I would recommend U-​Swirl over most of the other froyo places in Houston as long as you can get over the name.
