FroZenYo is a new player in the DC dessert game, and it wins our endorsement. You grab a big cup, fill it with any combination of flavors and toppings, then pay for it by weight. Bonus: you can add fudge or caramel after you weigh it. Most frozen yogurt shops, especially those that followed the relatively recent pinkberry trend, serve either tart or mildly flavored yogurt, and you’re expected to turn that into a dessert by adding toppings. FroZenYo finds ways to mix the necessary milky flavor of yogurt with other elements in ways that not only maintain the flavors, but even make them pop. I didn’t think that was even possible. You don’t need the toppings, because these flavors can stand on their own.
I specifically recommend FroZenYo’s cheesecake, pumpkin pie, and dulce de leche flavors. These flavors win our divine rating. The pumpkin pie yogurt has a depth of pumpkin pie flavor that’s deeper than an average pumpkin pie. The red velvet cake yogurt was good, but disappointing compared to the other flavors I tried. Add this growing chain to our favorites. The only negative at the Downtown location is a seating shortage.
FroZenYo currently has three locations, but an aggressive expansion plan. We hope its growth forces other dessert purveyors to improve their offerings.
