Yogurt De-Lite

This place was bad. The froyo tasted off, and even had a rancid flavor to it. I think the dispensers are not clean. Before throwing it out I even tasted cherry flavor… which was not at all in what I ordered…

This is a review for both the yogurt and customer service.
My fiancé and I went there last week after we had dinner at Simply Greek (yum!) We almost went to Lush but I wanted to try the yogurt place. I wish we went to Lush instead.
My fiancé ordered yogurt with crumbled Reese’s peanut butter cups as topping. When he ate some of it, he couldn’t help but notice the odd taste of Reese’s pb cups… he said it didn’t taste like pb at all and it was powder-​y too. He was going to just keep eating it, but after a couple more bites, he couldn’t continue. He is not the kind who returns his orders in exchange for something else… he will keep eating anything even if it’s meh. This time the pb flavor wasn’t meh, it just did not taste like pb and my fiancé couldn’t keep eating it without feeling more disgusted after every bite. After some persuading from me, my fiancé decided to return to the yogurt place and ask for a new cup of yogurt (he still had plenty left in his cup).
We returned to the yogurt place and the guy came out from the back, and my fiancé explained to him that the pb tasted funny and that he would like a new cup of yogurt with a different topping if possible. What happened next was worse. The guy actually shook his head hard, his body language was aggressive and harsh, and he spoke to us in a very loud voice to the point where it became yelling (we couldn’t understand a lot of the things he said). He shrugged a lot, tried to tell us that his pb cups are fresh, and even went to get one unwrapped Reese’s pb cup to «prove» us that it’s fresh, roughly unwrapping it and slamming it on the counter in front of my fiancé to try it. He continued with that attitude and yelling for a good 10 minutes while my fiancé stood there shocked, trying his best to explain in the nicest and calmest way possible that he just wanted a different topping. I was shocked too and I tried telling the guy to stop treating us so awful the way he was, but he did not hear us out at all. He continued being angry with us, yelling at us and shrugging and gesturing roughly at us, and then finally at the end he filled up a new cup of yogurt with a different topping, but in a rough and hurried way (he filled the cup too quickly and sloppily) before practically slamming it on the counter and shoving it towards my fiancé.
That was one of the top worst customer service we’ve ever experienced, together and individually. The guy was VERY rude and aggressive, completely disrespectful. He also hurried back to the kitchen/​back room right after he gave my fiancé a new cup of yogurt. He did not care enough to make sure his customers left satisfied with their purchase.
My fiancé is one of the nicest guys, he almost ALWAYS makes sure to give compliments to the waiters/​cooks/​owners for their food and drinks whenever he really likes them. He doesn’t get into arguments with them either. It broke my heart to see the rude guy treat my fiancé like that. And also, during all that yelling from the guy, my fiancé barely said much in response.
We are not returning for sure. The yogurt was so-​so too. Go to Lush or Fenton’s or even CVS for better customer service and quality tasting food.

I really liked this place. Not snooty, and oh, yes, sugar free coconut frozen yogurt! Yes, it is cash only, but it is also very affordable. The size small was at least an 8 oz portion and it was only $ 2.75. I wish we had a shop like this in my area.

Delicious! Lots of flavor varieties. Nice and clean w considerate staff. Indoor seating available.

Eh I am no a huge fan of this place. For a yogurt place they don’t have many flavors or toppings. I tried three flavors and they were all runny. They are cash only and the place isn’t the cleanest. They are cash only too. For a frozen yogurt place they do not have good frozen yogurt.
The man working was nice but honestly I would advise anyone to go to fentons or somewhere else on piedmont ave.

It’s a good, cheap neighborhood place. It’s more like yogurt park than yogurt land — not self serve, sweeter fro yo, parking is a pain however, also cash only

I think people are spoiled by the «yogurt buffets» that have taken over.
So, if you are looking a «yogurt buffet», go elsewhere.
Yogurt De-​Lite is a neighborhood yogurt establishment.
The yogurt here is much tastier than those new places (which I think pump their products with water).
It is also much less expensive per ounce.
So if you prefer quality and taste not toppings and overindulgence then Yogurt De-​Lite will not disappoint.

Not good at all. You can’t even scoop you own toppings

Not self-​serve. Boo. But you get decent portions for the $ 4+ you pay for a medium fro yo. It’s a pretty good deal considering that at self-​serve places you end up paying so much more — that is, if you’re like me, and think it’s a contest to see how obscenely you can fill your giant cup. There are limited flavors (four? five?) — but they had both coffee and chocolate, my two favorites, so who cares! It’s close to the Piedmont Theater, which is convenient… just go *before* the movie, they close early.

Only place around here that has ONLY 8 Yogurt people! That deserves 5 stars alone, and its reasonably priced… supersize it

Not a bad place, but not great either. Have about 6 froyo flavors to choose from. Toppings are limited, prices are fair, cash only. I’ve tasted better, though.

One napkin alloted per customer. It seemed a little pricey, rundown and not very welcoming.

I love this place. Not sure if it’s the pure nostalgia of REAL frozen yogurt or just that it’s plain delicious. My tastebuds have become intolerant to the stringent tart «healthy» flavors of mega chains and their sweet flavors just aren’t the same as old school frozen custard. Yogurt De-​Lite brings back what made froyo great in the first place.
PLUS it’s cheap cheap cheap! Just paid a little over $ 2 for a kiddie size (not your avg. kiddie size +++) and choco sprinkles. The owners are adorable too and very sweet! Love stopping by and giving them more business.

To put it succinctly: the guy behind the counter was a total a**hole. I rarely engage profanity against a proprietor unless they deserve it. This guy deserved it. Not only was he completely rude to us, he didn’t want to allow my friend a taste of some of the weirder flavors. Well, he didn’t like any of them, and so didn’t get any. I ordered something, added several of the place’s absolutely meager toppings, we paid, and left. But he griped to my friend about how he went through the trouble of tasting without buying. So? Isn’t that why you have the bite-​size cups? For people to taste?
The only reason we went here was because Tutti Frutti up the street was closed. This place is a total downer. I have no idea how it’s making rent on Piedmont every month. Caitlin said that he treats regulars like royalty. Maybe that was our problem. We weren’t regulars.
Go to Tutti Frutti for 1) a vibrant, colorful, clean interior; 2) a fun vibe for froyo; 3) pleasant personnel; 4) great flavors to choose from; and 5) a kick-​ass number of toppings to satisfy your epi-​froyo-​ian delight.

This place blends into Piedmont and could use with a serious update but the prices are right for under $ 4 for a small bowl of plain tart yogurt with nuts. YUM YUM. This place is case only and of course parking sucks because its Piedmont. but hey your supporting a locally owned business.

I LOVE this guy. What a wonderful man. He treats regulars like royalty, reminding you to have a nice day/​weekend/​holiday multiple times on your way out. Customers who have had bad experiences with him are most likely victims of a communication barrier. He is short with words and moves quickly, but is such a hard worker.
The number one reason I love this place (and him) is because he fills your yogurt cup up adequately. I prefer old-​school yogurt shops (not tart, and not self-​serve), and this is one of the only such shops in Oakland that does not rip you off by barely filling up your cup with all sorts of holes and gaps.
The prices are great, and they have a rotating sugar-​free flavor which is also a plus for me.
If parking was better on Piedmont ave, I’d be here every day

Wow. People really harsh on this guy.
I’ll be the first to admit that the first time I went in there, he was a little short, but by no means rude. Just wanted to serve us and move on with his life. But not even close to rude. I DO NOT TOLERATE rude service AT ALL. The second time I went in there he was all smiles and even said, «hello, friend.» I thought maybe he was having a better day, but it dawned on me in subsequent visits that he REMEMBERED ME. I’ve been there dozens of times since then and every single time he has greeted me with a smile.
To be fair, I have been in there when he was rude to a customer. Not really rude, just… A man came in with his two kids, probably around 5 years old. The boy immediately starts screaming and making a mess and the girl starts smearing whatever ungodliness is all over her hands, all over the display glass. The «father» does nothing to stop this. He asks the proprietor, «do you have any ice cream? All I see is this yogurt stuff and my kids want ice cream but Fenton’s is too busy.» The man behind the counter tells him they do have ice cream, proudly offering his fine selection from a fine Hawaiian company. «You only have, like, three flavors and they all suck. Man, this place sucks compared to Fenton’s. How do you even stay in business?» So the owner just lost his patience. He still was never rude, just not friendly. If it had been me behind the counter I’d have told him to go ahead and wait in the blistering sun to get into Fenton’s and get overcharged for mediocre ice cream.
De-Lite’s peanut butter frozen yogurt is insane. If you don’t absolutely love it, then go to Fenton’s with all the other sheep and stop crapping up our beloved De-Lite’s.
The only reason it doesn’t get a full 5 stars, well there’s two reasons. 1 — it’s on Piedmont so parking is a joke. 2 — I wish they were bigger so they could have more flavors going at one time. I keep reading about this awesome coffee flavor they have, but they must not have on the random days I show up. But they always have peanut butter. I swear to gog you have to try their peanut butter.

This is the only place in the Bay Area that I’m aware of that offers my favorite (and I mean FAVORITE) yogurt combo:
New York Cheesecake Non-​Fat Frozen Yogurt
Reese’s PB Cups
Cherry Pie Filing
I get half RPBC and half cherry pie filling. HEAVEN! I had one yesterday and it was DEEEEE-​LISH!
We did notice that the customer service was rather absent, but I guess it doesn’t matter, since we were in there for all of 48 seconds.

I helped my sis with my niece’s mini playdate with her two friends on Saturday afternoon, which was no easy task having three kiddies ages 3, 2 & 1. After feeding the duckies at Lake Merritt and playing at the park, we decided on some ice cream at Fenton’s, but the wait was too long for the little ones in tow, so we ended up here. Ugh, the guy behind the counter, possibly the owner, was a grump! They have a baby-​sized frozen yogurt, but it was more than enough for the youngest two to share, so we asked for a second cup, and the guy reluctantly provided a second cup after mumbling some sort of snappy response.
My sis & I decided that we weren’t ordering anything for ourselves after this guy’s rude behavior. Luckily for him, we had to order something for the girls or else they would have had a fit, but if it were up to me we would have just left because his attitude sucked! I cannot tell you anything about the yogurt and ice cream other than the girls ate it, but they would have also eaten sand had we let them at the park. So, I simply say avoid this place unless you like supporting businesses run by a-​holes.
P. S. — This may be childish, but I didn’t feel badly for not cleaning up Maya’s scoop of cookies-​and-​cream that fell on the floor. Take that buddy.

at first sight, there’s no one here to service you. but suddenly like the mole in the «whack a mole»: arcade game, an elderly asian woman pops out of the room and asks «what do you want?»:
they sell smoothies, lappert’s ice cream and forgurts with the following choices: Kona coffee, strawberry, irish mint, golden gate chocolate, german chocolate, vanilla. i choose a regular (8oz 2.85) combo of strawbery and kona coffee.
i passed on the 12 dry topping and the 12 fruit toppinsg (.70each)
–kona coffee very subltle flavoring
–strawberry veryt subtle and semi sweet.
the texture wasn’t that firm and it melted quite quickly like soft serve.
doubtfu; i will return.
