Pinkberry

PinkBerry tastes like really cold yoplait. I swear. I heard all about this new place that had wonderful healthy stuff that was unbelievable. Where is this place...cause it wasn't Pink Berry. If you enjoy liking things because the LA scene tells you to, then you'll love Pink Berry. If you like to freeze your yoplait, you'll love Pink Berry. If you want yummy frozen yogurt you're better off with the McDonalds 150 calorie vanilla cone. If you MUST have this then skip the IMPOSSIBLE parking and elitism and put some dannon in the freezer and stick some captain crunch in it.\r \r PS- Ive also heard some very not nice things about the people who run this store, and how they ""deal"" with competitors. Pros: well, fruit is good. you can get fruit at ralphs. Cons: read my review more

i went to this place because i found it on citysearch. if only there was one that wasnt so far from me. well, we did the drive anyway.. only to see a line, a line that went down the block--LITERALLY. lol for yogurt! i was amazed. the yogurt was good though. they had some interesting toppings, captain crunch was one hehe. the portions are big, so you could share. Pros: good yogurt. interesting toppings. Cons: long lines. more

Ok people, you love Pinkberry? well, I'll let you in on the secret. I'm going to give the recipe away! All you have to do is go to costco, buy a big bulk of real yogurt (not frozen) of your choice of brand, whether it being yoplait or dannon. Wisk until creamy, buy yourself a little soft serve machine to be used in the house (or use the ice cream maker) pour into the machine, add some green tea flavor powder if you wish. For toppings chop up some fruits of your choice, add some cap'n crunch and there ya go! PINKBERRRY!! you'll save a lot on money and won't waist any time standing in lines! more

Went there once and am totally hooked. Love that they only have two flavors. Tired of places offering too many choices. Yogurt is light and yummy, not too sweet. Taste like real yogurt, not that creamy junk you get eslewhere. I order it plain without the toppings. Very refreshing. good place for healthy minded people. more

I've only been to Pinkberry once, and I loved it. The only reason I decided to go there was because I'm a frequent customer at Beach Berries in Huntington Beach, and Pinkberry looked almost identical to it. The only way Beach Berries is different is that they don't have the green tea yogurt, so there's only the plain flavor, but I'm not complaining. I thought Beach Berries was better than Pinkberry because Beach Berries' yogurt is slightly more creamy than Pinkberry's (theirs is a little more icy). But it was still amazing. I think the only Beach Berries location is in Huntington Beach, and I'm surprised that it's practically unknown. I've never had to wait in line for more than a few minutes. I definitely recommend it! Pros: amazing yogurt! Cons: no complaints. more

This place has a cool atmosphere, but I just REALLY did not care for the flavor of the yogurt at all. I thought it was... just wierd. I can see how other people would like it, but it's not what I expect from a frozen yogurt shop. Can't say I'll make it back. Pros: cool atmosphere. nice employees. Cons: wierd flavor, long lines, limited selection more

If you are tired of the lines on Huntley, the studio city location is open....right near trader joes on laurel canyon. Space is much bigger compared to West Hollywood. There are more chairs =)\r This yogurt is really good...but I think you either like it or don't. more

i finally got to try it and was astoundingly unimpressed. it tasted like trader joes yogurt, only frozen.\r \r i could barely finish the small. the texture is rather dense and artificial feeling. not even the lines made it taste better.\r \r and who cares if it's fat free. it's dessert people, deal with the calories.\r Pros: it's trendy Cons: the yogurt is nothing special more

My girlfriend raved about this place, and I have to say that I like it a lot. Pink Berry is not as sweet as ice cream. Different and good. But, having to wait in line for 45 minutes is insane! I think it's a lot more hype than anything else. Luckily, we found a copycat yogurt place called Kiwi Berri that is next to the Beverly Center on 3rd and La Cienaga. There are never any lines and it tastes exactly the same. We also tried Fiore (another copycat) in Little Tokyo and that one isn't a good, so don't go there. The yogurt taste different, but not in a good way. \r \r Hey rich owners! Open one in Santa Monica and make my girlfriend happy! Pros: Good Dessert Cons: Lines Longer than Splash Mountain more

Yanko. You are a liar. Each Pinkberry has nutritional information posted. 0 fat and 25 calories per oz. Another cheap and sleazy attempt by a competitor to slander is what I see. Since you know so much, why don't you get some Pinkberry yogurt yourself and have it analyzed by a lab and get the results yourself. Pros: NON FAT YOGURT more

My roommate took me to Pink Berry for a relatively-late-night snack, and I was definitely suprised (and a little bummed) that I wouldn't be able to order my usual strawberry froyo with rainbow sprinkles. Nonetheless, I was intrigued. I decided to go for the green tea (as i'm a huge fan) flavor and walnuts to top. \r \r Here's where I was really thrown: there's a reason why there are no gummy bears or sprinkles to be seen. They don't serve Frozen Yogurt at Pink Berry. They serve yogurt that is frozen. As in dannon yogurt. As in the containers of yogurt that so many people take in the car on their way to work because hey, it's easy and healthy. And, most unfortunately, as in the yogurt that I have never, ever liked. \r \r I have to admit -- the premise is clever. And, having locations in health and body image conscious SoCal, it makes sense that Pink Berry serves what it does. Turning a breakfast item into dessert is a cool idea -- were I of the yogurt-enjoying crowd, I'd have the good folks at Pink Berry pile strawberries and granola onto my medium frozen yogurt. But alas, I am not.\r \r If you like yogurt, you'll love this place. But if not....beware. I did mildly enjoy my selection, but I will admit that the second my roommate and I got back into the car to take our 'desserts' home to eat, I promptly declared that I would probably never go back voluntarily. Unless, of course, I get a random craving for green tea frozen yogurt with non-candy toppings. I guess we'll see. Pros: Late hours, healthy, good selection of toppings Cons: trendy more

The Westwood Pinkberry is now open for business. I'm not sure the store design is the best; people behind the counter seem really cramped, and it's hard for customers to get around the open doors. But the yogurt is tangy and fantastic. more

Pink Berry is pretty good. I go there often. It has the best frozen yogurt I've ever had, but they only have two flavors. A third flavor would be nice. The employees who have to put the yogurt in the cup and put on your toppings always look so over worked compared to the cashiers. The lines get very long because they have too many cashiers, and not enough people making the yogurt orders. The lines at Pink Berry get insanely long. No food is so good that I would wait on line for an hour to get it. Also, the toppings are very expensive. Only a fool would pay 95 cents to a spoonful of Captain Crunch on their yogurt. more

I read that Pinkberry is not real yogurt, but they do use real yogurt. Also, they use non-fat milk, so the guy or distributor that said the otherwise don't know anything. It's the healthiest frozen dessert out there. I heard that it only has 25 calories per ounce. Pros: Use real yogurt, awesome taste more

I visited the new location located on 6th and Berendo since I heard that they had a parking structure. It was my first time trying this yogurt, with so much hype I had to see it for myself. I wanted to try the green tea and the orignal swirled together. You have to pay for a small original and a small green tea to get them together, so basically two orders. I was afraid it was too much, but then everybody in the store was eating the bucket size one. When I had that first taste I instantly had memories of my childhood. It tasted like YAKULT, the japanese yogurt drink in the little plastic bottle with the red foil on top. I recognized this flavor in an instant because I drank that while growing up and living in Japan. According to what the previous person said, in fact it is yogurt, just not the usual american yogurt we are familiar with. I do have to say Pink Berry's yogurt is refreshing and not your usual frozen yogurt you get elsewhere where the flavor is flat. However, Pink Berry's frozen yogurt may be low fat or non fat but there are lots of sugar. My hands were really sticky afterwards. The decor of the store is modern with a furturistic twist. Pros: YAKULT Cons: Carbs, carbs, and more carbs more

I love this place, and I'm so excited they're opening one in Westwood! I'll be going more often now that it's closer. I love the fact that it's healthier AND has it's own distinct taste. You have to go experience it yourself - it'll definitely be worth the trip. more

I had lunch after orientation at UCLA today. My girlfriends and I ate at Baja Fresh and you won't believe how excited we are to see that PINKBERRY is going to be in Westwood Village right next to Subway. The people were so nice, they are hiring people so they can open next week!!! We got so excited that we went to the West Hollywood store for dessert! My favorite is medium plain with lots of berries. Now that I know that they will be right by school. I'm sure to have a large for either lunch or dinner! Pros: Opening in Westwood!! Cons: Long Lines more

So what it is a copycat from Red Mango. The yogurt is really good. My friend and I tried. We will definitely go back again. Pros: The fruits are really fresh. Cons: Parking more

Okay first of all... romantic?! Whoever rated this place romantic is an idiot... or just clueless about romance. I have NEVER eaten inside of pinkberry because there's seating for like 10 people and it's always jammed packed. It's very loud and unromantic! It's the best place to take girlfriends, side outside on a curb and eat outside together. \r \r Do NOT park in the No Stopping at Any Time zone! You will be ticketed-- they're faster than you think! The best thing you can do is circle around Santa Monica Blvd for meter parking. The best days to go is when its COLD! (people usually go when its hot)\r \r The frozen yogurt is fabulous, sweet and fresh! I like to think of it as ""the new shaved ice."" (which is another popular asian dessert) The green tea flavor is not that great--even if you're a fan of green tea. You should always get the plain flavor, medium sized. If you're going to stand in line for 30 minutes-- you might as well get a medium!\r One cup is actually pretty filling so don't eat a HUGE meal and then come for Pinkberry. Save some room or, what I like to do, go to Pinkberry when you're STARVING... then go eat dinner. It's healther since you're full on healthy stuff anyways! And it tastes fantastic when you're hungry.\r \r Also, double check your receipt after you order.... they mess up A LOT and you need to tell them if they've made a mistake. Plus its really loud and I'm sure the cashier can't hear you very well.\r \r All in all... I'd still wait 30 minutes. Just bring a book or a friend to chat with in line! Pros: great fruit, great yogurt... it's worth the hype! But you may not be impressed RIGHT away. Cons: parking is horrible, the lines are horrible, sometimes the service is really bad because they hire incompetent people who get your orders wrong. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS! more

The yogurt reminds me of the kind my dad makes at home. It's delicious and fresh. I had mine with blackberries, strawberries and mango. Yuuummmmy! Pros: Tasty Treat Cons: Long line that wraps outside the place more
