After hearing all the fuss about the fro-yo wars in California, I made sure to try Pinkberry on a trip to NYC last summer. It was great! It has an only slightly sweet and mostly tangy / tart flavour -- what actual plain yogurt tastes like.
I was wondering when the whole tangy / tart frozen yogurt + fresh fruit toppings / dry "fun" toppings concept would make its way to Canada, so I was quite happy when I saw Yogen Fruz's billboards that advertise their "new tart" flavour.
I went to the Bayshore location this weekend and asked for their PLAIN VANILLA soft serve with fresh blueberries on top (i taste tested it first to ensure that it was indeed the "tart / tangy" flavour). It was very refreshing and leaves less of that milky aftertaste that ice cream or their other frozen yogurt does.
I'm glad that I can get my tangy frozen yogurt fix in Ottawa now as opposed to day dreaming of trips to the States for my Pinkberry / Red Mango fix.
Too bad YF's are located in malls that have limited hours -- i really think their new rebranded stores would do well as its own storefront on Elgin / Westboro, etc.
Are there any other places in Ottawa to get some good frozen yogurt? Has anybody else that has tried Pinkberry / Red Mango also tried YF's new tart? If so, any comparisons?
