O-Yo Frozen Yogurt

The employees are very nice, friendly and welcoming. Their frozen yogurt are very good and light. There are a lot of good topping selections but, I wish they have fruity pebbles. I visit o-​yo almost twice a week for 4 weeks now and the frozen yogurt flavors has not changed much. Usually when i don’t see any flavors I like, I always pick the original tart flavor as my last resort. Luckily, the original flavor tastes good. The interior of the store is clean, bright and I can feel the positive vibe to it. To me, it’s worth coming back every other day and eat it either in the store or sit by the beach while enjoying the cool breeze at night.

I am a big frozen yogurt fan! This place is very clean, they are friendly and reasonably priced!

This place is truly awesome! It is one of the only frozen yogurt spots that are open all year around. They have more of a variety of toppings than most froyo places, and the froyo taste here is to die for. My only complaint is that the froyo flavored that are listed in their websites are not always around in the store… Other than that the place is flawless!

No matter the season, I’m always down for some fro-​yo. Great location, nice view and clean place. The staff and owners are very friendly and welcoming. If you’re in the mood for some sweet goodness, get yourself a taste.

The froyo flavors here are great and there’s always a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

This is the best frozen yogurt I have ever had. EVER. The place is absolutely adorable and the people that work there are some of the friendliest, kindest people I have ever encountered. They make the experience even that much better. The flavors are Always jam-​packed with deliciousness. The salted caramel pretzel is seriously one of the best things you will EVER put in your mouth. You MUST TRY IT! the toppings are always so clean and super fresh with TONS of amazing options to choose from. The fruit is FRESH, too – none of that jelly crap.
Super clean, super friendly, fresh, yummy, DELISH!

We’ve been here several times since moving to Swampscott a few months ago. Each time we’ve been, the staff have been friendly and helpful. I actually like that they serve the taste sample for you (rather than self-​serve for samples). I’m sure it cuts down on waste, over-​tasters and clean up.
I honestly don’t get a previous Unilocaler’s comments about the poor service and his tipping issue. It’s fairly common practice at many fast food services (except for the big chains) to have the OPTION to tip. They do, afterall, clean up the toppings bar regularly, provide samples, keep the seating areas clean, etc. If you don’t want to tip, don’t tip. For those of us who want to, the option is there.
As for hard to chew toppings — they do tend to firm up when nestled in that frozen goodness. Gummi candy, chocolate, etc. in *frozen* yogurt is gonna freeze. O-​Yo is the only froyo place I’ve been to that serves the tapioca (is that what they are) balls in a number of flavors. I actually love that they freeze up a little bit in the yogurt.
If you’re not offended by the option to tip or the physics of what happens with somethings meets a sub-​freezing temperature, then I think you’re in for a good time!

This review is brought to you by Batman and Catwoman. Let me clarify in saying that Batman and Catwoman are the nicknames of the people who worked behind the cash register today. They have the audacity to put up tip cups. The problem is this yogurt place is self serve. I should be tipping myself. For those of you who don’t know me, I am Superman.
I had a negative experience here before. Not so negative that it dissuaded me from coming back, because here I am. Or there I was. But this time, some of my toppings were hard to chew. The yogurt itself is always good, but I have never had bad frozen yogurt. It is pretty hard to screw up. I myself have a tip for Batman and Catwoman. If you individuals really want to be tipped, you should spend more time behind your stations instead of playing around in back or wherever. I am not telling the rest of you not to patron this place, just be forewarned. And as for the management of this establishment, you may want to pay more attention to what is going on here.

Really good place to go. Flavors are delicious, so are toppings. Prices are reasonable as well. I’ve been against froyo for a while as a poor alternative to ice cream, but I came around. Good place.

There once was a couple of Lynners,
oh they were too nice to be sinners!
But when it came to the sweet stuff
they wanted to cut the Fluff
so they got their froyo at O-​Yo!

A really tiny place with minimal seating, but the yogurt was decent and there was a nice variety of flavors and toppings, too. A/​C and better seating would have been nice. Not as expensive as some of the other froyo places that are popping up everywhere but not inexpensive, either…

Firstly, I don’t understand the negative reviews… Maybe because they were just opening? Any who…
It was like 90 something degrees last night (after dinner at 7 pm), so we went for a walk to Lynn Shore (its on the Swampscott side) to try out the new froyo place «O-​Yo». I was a little apprehensive because I am a diehard hard-​chocolate, with fudge, ice cream girl, but I was open minded.
I walked in and we were the only ones there at that moment. The guy behind the counter jumped up immediately and ran to bring us sample cups to try anything we wanted. He informed us that it is sold by weight, so we could grab a bowl and combine anything we like for yogurt and toppings-​as much or as little. That’s good for me because I wanted to try a little of everything. There were so many amazing flavors! The guy must have been laughing to himself because I had a religious awakening with this stuff. I had never tried froyo before, and I was shocked that it could actually taste good, it tasted like ice cream! But better! I wanted to sample everything, but after I tried the triple chocolate fudge, the candy smash (tastes like butterfingers), the birthday cake, and the thick and creamy triple berry Greek yogurt, I knew I had to stop. I would never be able to choose between them. So I put about 4 tablespoons of each tried and went to weigh it. They had so many toppings, lots of fruit, candy, cookies, etc., but the froyo stood on its own, so I chose none. Husband added oreo pieces to his cookies and cream froyo (he also had the triple berry Greek too). So creamy and delicious!
We spent $ 5 plus tip (he really was so helpful) for the both of us. They even zero out the weight of the cup! I don’t know if that’s expensive for froyo, but being used to ice cream prices, that’s a steal.
It is a small place with a few tables, a register, a frozen yogurt area with like 9 different options (give or take), and a toppings area. I don’t know my froyo, but the machines looked very clean and hi-​tech (if I could serve myself gracefully, it’s hi-​tech).
There was a woman out back keeping up with product demand in the machines, and the gentleman guiding customers to enhance their experience.
It wasn’t dead, people came in while I was embarrassing myself in utter amazement of this stuff-​out loud. But I think that people just don’t know froyo, people like me, 28 years old, and a diehard ice cream fans. Well, not anymore. Ice cream has too much fat, so I’m switching. I can’t wait to try the other flavors! It’s gonna be another scortcher tonight, and my sister, friend, and niece are coming down from Haverhill, so I will bring here here to try it too.

I’m going to change my previous review because I learned they changes flavors weekly, which is cool. Also, they developed a rewards system so you can earn an 8 oz. Froyo after a certain amount of visits.

I was excited to see o-​yo open across from King’s Beach in Swampscott, walking distance from my house. Its great to see some more business come into the area, and the location is perfect — pick up a yogurt and sit on a bench looking out at the Bay with Boston skyline in the distance. Well, the location is good and the skyline is where its always been, but the yogurt is pretty second rate. Fairly flavorless, sort of disappears in your mouth, the toppings are largely candy, not fruit or nuts, and the sauces a disappointment. The folks that run it, are nice enough, but they don’t make an effort to really connect. Maybe the cultural divide is getting in the way. At any rate, O-​yo is no Orange Leaf, I’m sad to say.
