My rating: 3.5(rounding up to 4 because 3 seemed too harsh) Overview: Self-serve frozen yogurt shop with a variety of toppings My boyfriend and I come here often to get a sweet treat in the middle of weekday afternoons. It’s usually pretty quiet when we go(around 2:30pm), but I’m sure it gets busier later in the day and on weekends. It’s located in a strip mall, so parking is a little more convenient than, say, at Reston Town Center. They have a decent variety of flavors that get changed up fairly often(keeping the classic standbys like the original tart, chocolate, and vanilla). The toppings are pretty good, although sometimes the fresh fruit seems… less fresh than you’d want. But it’s difficult to keep cut fruit sitting out all day *and* looking attractive. Since we come at an off time, I sometimes get the feeling that the staff is less than enthused to come out and deal with us, but they seem grudgingly amicable when they do. So… that’s good. My boyfriend signed up for the rewards program(I don’t remember the exact name) and they send out some pretty coupons that he’s already used a couple of times. Bottom line: I wouldn’t say it’s spectacular, but it’s not bad. I’m sure I’ll be back many times. And maybe I should get on the rewards program, too.

My family and I love this place! They always have a great variety of flavors and toppings. There is limited seating, but there is always a spot in the benches outside on a nice day.

Good variety of flavors and toppings. Pretty standard nowadays. Only downfall is the seating: too few and a bit uncomfortable.

Wonderful for kids as a special reward or treat! Or just because! I have never been to a yogurt or ice cream place where you have complete CONTROL over your own creation. It’s like the buffet at Whole Food and they just weigh it at the end & you pay. Very reasonably priced too!

Totally impressed! It was not the owner who closed early(as I had written erroneously in my previous post). The owner checked the cameras, contacted me, and changed the policy. Now that’s responsive!

Love this place! They have a great selection of tasty yogurts and an awesome selection of toppings. Their prices are reasonable as well.

I tried SweetFrog for the first time the other day. I’m a Tutti Fruiti fan mainly because they offer so many other flavors that are non-dairy, soy based or unique. I was surprised to see that all their flavors were either chocolate and vanilla based or combinations. They didn’t have much for fruit options except the pomegranate raspberry sorbet they are currently featuring. I ended up going with plain tart and the featured flavor and don’t get me wrong — both were very good. Their toppings are standard to other yogurt locations. Pretty good. Tutti Frutti is still my first choice, but SweetFrog is pretty good too.

We frequent this place more often than we should, love their yogurt! They have a great assortment of flavors and a wide variety of toppings. The staff is friendly, they greet you as you walk in and are always tidying up the topping bar. They have punch cards where you buy 10 get 1 free, ask for it at the register.

I’m not usually a fan of frozen yogurt, but this ain’t bad. The white chocolate chips and brownie bites are money. I’m a vanilla ice cream guy, but vanilla yogurt is gross. The choco/vanilla swirls’s ok. Kids love this place.

Always busy, but streamlined in service, this little self-serve yogurt shop has become my favorite stop after work for a frozen treat! Creamy, tart yogurt in a broad range of flavors dominate the right far wall of the establishment, ranging from chocolate to mango, dulce de leche to the perfectly acidic balanced plain. Toppings vary from cut fruit, little juice balls resembling caviar, to chocolate, crunch, gummy bears, and others. Although the topping selection isn’t as fresh and well maintained as that of Pinkberry, the yogurt runs a very close second in my opinion. The store is always packed with customers, but the easy-going and competent staff move the line right along in no time.

I came here for dessert and was pleased with their selection of both yogurt flavors and toppings. I got the fat-free, no-sugar-added vanilla and was expecting it to be kind of flavorless, but it was really good. The fruit toppings were fresh and ripe and they have a great selection of cookie and candy toppings, as well. It’s nice that they’re open pretty late, too. I’ll be back!

Relatively fair prices for good frozen yogurt. It’s fun experimenting with different yogurt and topping combinations. I appreciate the self-serve system, as it allows you to get exactly what you want in whatever portion your heart desires. Toppings range from modest, relatively healthy ingredients such as fruit, to deliciously gross items like cheesecake bites and gummy worms. Yum.

I swear it’s like all the frozen yogurt shops put crack in their yogurt it’s sooo addicting! This Sweet Frog opened a few months ago and seems to be doing great business. They always keep the place clean, the employees are nice, and the yogurt price seems to be much cheaper then some other places. They have a great array of toppings, a lot of healthy choices and they finally have been giving out a stamp card, which how meaningless they can be make me smile when i finally get something FREEE. Free is good :). Enjoy… again you’re warned on the addicting part(overall though not so bad for you). :)

Location is great — my son and I can walk here from our house. I love that they have a large variety of flavors(my favorite is cake batter!) and toppings, and being able to serve yourself a portion is great. The times I’ve gone it was about $ 6 for my small portion and my son’s large portion, which I feel like is a reasonable price. Décor is nice and we like being able to sit inside to enjoy our frozen yogurt.

This is my favorite frozen yogurt place in Reston. They have a good variety of flavors and toppings(my husband and daughter like the little fruit pearls the best). They don’t have the variety of waffle cones/accompaniments that Zinga has, but for such a small place I don’t know how they would fit more in this shop! The staff is friendly and are always making sure the place is clean. I also like the tables — they turn so you can easily sample everyone else’s creations. ;)

Our favorite yogurt place by far is the Sweet Frog franchise and we were beyond thrilled when Reston finally opened. Staff is friendly and quick to hop from behind if they smell you’re a newbie. The have at least a dozen flavors vs the spots in RTC and two dozen toppings. A normal person need only to pick the smallest cup IMO. Our tab for four(2 kids under 5 and 2 healthy adults) is ~$ 11.
