Green Apple

Yogurtini, Peachwave, or Green Apple? Well, today I tried Green Apple and I was very pleased with this place! Today I went for a fruity froyo selection: Georgia Peach, Raspberry Pomegranate, Green Apple, and Tango Mango (forgive me if the names aren’t accurate). I proceeded to the toppings and grabbed some delicious kiwi, blueberries, boba, strawberries, gummy worms, and pineapple! All of it was surprisingly fresh, even the bananas. They had a huge variety of sauces too – I used a mango sauce, very yummy!
Fast forward 20 minutes later; my melted, mushed up fruit concoction still tasted amazing!
The interior of this building is very cute, yet still distinct enough from Yogurtini. The only thing I must mention would be my observation of the cashier who would go to the back room and come out 3 minutes later with a customer waiting. This happened at least 3 or 4 times.
Despite observing that, I loved the froyo here! I didn’t know it was so close to me either. I’ll definitely come back here again and treat myself to some White Chocolate Mousse and Cake Batter…

Just alright. Tasted more like ice-​cream from my personal preference. Half the fruit looked old which was a major turn off. Don’t think I will be back

They say they are open till 11pm on Sundays. I drove to green apple on a Sunday at 10 pm and they were closed. I was super disappointed :(

This is the second time I’ve been to this location. Still no hot fudge, and the Oreo cookies, which are labeled «Oreo cookies» are really cheap, imitation chocolate sandwich cookies. I much prefer Peachwave on the plaza. Dont waste your time with imitation products at this location.

One evening I had a craving for a dessert. Since this was fairly close and I’ve never been to a self serve frozen yogurt place, I’d give it a try. It’s located in a strip mall dedicated to eating. There’s an Chipotle, Applebee’s, Chinese Place, and Liquor Store. All your needs in one place. The area seems like a giant mall food court.
The name and interior reminds me of a Asian Boba tea shops in Seattle. (They even had Boba) Since I’ve never been to a self serve fro-​grut place, I was a bit confused on how it worked. There are very few signs and pricing was hidden. But then again, this is not rocket science, it’s frozen yogurt. That being said there is a wide variety of yogurt and topping choices. (The bananas were turning brown but not sure if that could be helped.)

So by now I have tried all of the frozen yogurt places in town and orange leaf is my favorite. Toppings are amazing I love the boba. They typically have two varieties on hand. My only issue has occurred this winter when they got very heavy on their seasonal flavor offerings. Sure, I love egg nog, ginger snaps, snicker doodles, and pumpkin spice, but not in my frozen yogurt. And not in addition to their standard offering of cake batter, cheese cake, carmel, peanut butter, cookies and cream. I like more tart options and I was limited to peach, green apple, blueberry, raspberry pomegranate or Choc or vanilla. I obviously contemplated this at length. I longed for the summer months with mango tango and orange. While it was decent I was still looking for that tartness. Maybe spring will come early.

I don’t find much of a difference between any of the froyo places. This one’s closest to my house and I like the peach and the blackberry froyos. It’s a nice clean place with a good topping bar. This is also the place where I fell in love with putting fruity pebbles in my fruity froyo. For that I am grateful, but I think every other place has fruity pebbles too. Green Apple probably has more flavors of syrup to put on than the other places, that may be important to you, it may not, just thought I’d note it.

In May, I visited a froyo establishment in Nashville called PinkBerry. It was nothing short of amazing. Since then, I have been looking everywhere for the same quality of froyo. Sadly, Green Apple just makes me feel like I’m chasing the dragon. The froyo is only average, the choice of toppings uninspiring. Beware of the kiwi bits, they are so underripe they are crunchy and sour.
Good news for froyo lovers — I have found excellent froyo elsewhere, at Orangeleaf on 119^th and Roe. Totally worth the drive. Save yourself from disappointment and go there instead.

Another frozen yogurt place, you say? Yes, but this one has something a cut above the yogurtini on main — the toppings!
Fruit: the fruit that I’ve seen at other places like this usually looks like it’s been sitting there for a week. Not the case here. The blueberries are bursting with flavor, while the kiwi, strawberries, and pineapple look like the fruit was cut just a few minutes before.
Another thing that I love about this place is that the reece’s peanut butter cups are whole. Some places chop them up, and they end up turning into a mass of chocolate and peanut butter that can be described as anything but appetizing.
I do have to say that the frozen yogurt isn’t as creamy here as it is at some other places, but it is still really yummy!

It took me awhile to venture into Green Apple since it opened. But now that I’ve been there, a frozen yogurt beast has come to life inside me. I’ve been twice this week and enjoyed it both times. I like the self serve aspect. You don’t have the pressure of knowing exactly what toppings and flavors to order, since you’re doing all the work. You can sample all of the flavors and take your time selecting your toppings. I especially like that they have whipped cream and other flavored sauces at the end of the line so you top off your treat like it were a traditional sundae. The one thing you have to be careful of is the size of the containers. It’s incredibly easy to over indulge. The one dislike I have is that their website does not appear to be up and running. It’s still under construction. I was hoping to look up nutrition information and was disappointed when I couldn’t find anything. I’ll just keep limiting my portions and topping with fruit for now.

This is by far the best self serve frozen yogurt place I have been to as of yet. They have the tastiest yogurt options (hello dulche de leche!!!) as well as ton of really healthy fresh fruit toppings. So many others just have candy or have processed fruit in syrup. I highly recommend this place!

My brother and I decided to try this place out after a long, hot day of yard work at our parents’ house. I’d been to a similar place before, but was overwhelmed by the 18 available flavors, including two dairy-​free ones. I went for a Blueberry Acai Tart and Cheesecake combo, topped off with some fruit and nuts. It was yummy and refreshing. My brother proved less adept at flavor combination. He decided to top off the Red Velvet with Non-​Dairy Mango and sliced strawberries. He said both were good, but he definitely regretted combining them. With summer getting steamier, I’m sure I’ll be back soon to try a new concoction!

Chipotle and frozen treats! That’s my kind of meal. After eating at Chipotle, I wanted to try Green Apple.
The restaurant was chic yet simple and it was super clean. They had many flavor options as well as toppings. I absolutely loved the plain tart which was different than the same old vanilla, but also a decidedly grown up and sophisticated flavor. I was able to mix it with the strawberry flavor and then add fresh strawberries, white chocolate chips, and whipped cream. They had a lot of fresh fruit toppings, including bananas and kiwi. I know that some of the other self serve yogurt places do not have fresh fruit, as it does spoil easily.
The only down side is that they do not offer the recipe suggestions that some others do offer. It is up to you to come up with your own concoction, but they do let you sample all of them before deciding.
The prices were comparable to Yogurtini or Peachwave and were based on weight. As always, they had huge cups so I got too much and probably paid too much. Oh well, it was tasty!

So this weekend we had some good friends in town crashing in our guest bedrooms. These friends happen to be a band who is currently on tour and as a part of that tour have become self-​serve yogurt fanatics. By their estimate they have had yogurt at least 20 times during tour at a variety of different self-​serve yogurt outlets.
So…seeing as Green Apple was new and that we could walk here from our home we decided to give it a go. I was a self-​serve yogurt virgin and my friends humbly walked me through the process. After plenty of samples I settled in and went with the a plain tart-​blackberry combo topped with mixed fresh fruit. Very tasty…
Our yogurt aficionado guests had these comments:
— consistency was good but not great, the yogurt seemed to melt very quickly
— toppings were good but they would have liked to see some graham cracker crumbs
— flavor selection and variety was excellent
— price was excellent.
Out of all their yogurt experiences Green Apple landed in the top 5 which is certainly worthy of a 4 star review in my book.

Moving away from Orange Leaf in Overland Park was a sad day for me. However, Green Apple opened up recently and my heart was happy again. I now have consumed the self-​serve frozen yogurt twice and was satisfied both times.
They have a fairly good price if you don’t put too much yogurt in the cup! Great choice of toppings and friendly service. I also want to steal their green couches but I don’t think I could fit them in one of those yogurt cups. Not to mention it is awesomely close to where I live. If I was ambitious to work off the calories I consume there I would walk to get my frozen yogurt.
I was also informed by the kids working there that their yogurt was better for you because it wasn’t made out of powder… not sure how true that is, after I add all those chocolatey and candy toppings.
However, you should definitely check this out and keep this business close!

Frozen yogurt .39 per ounce. Good peanut butter and cupcake yogurt, nice toppings, right in my neighborhood!!! I’m very excited to have a place like this nearby!
