Cultive Fro-Yo

I will look for just about any excuse as a reason to get frozen yogurt. Took too long to find parking, stressful day at work... you name it. My reasoning this past Sunday (besides the amazing weather), a new fro-yo shop opened up on Union Street: Cultive Frozen Yogurt.
I obviously needed to do a little taste test.
{The Verdict: Just as delicious as I had hoped.}

I typically judge frozen yogurt shops based on two aspects: (1) variety of flavors and (2) quality of topping choices. I especially love when a variety of healthy toppings are offered as well as your typical chocolate chips, reese's pieces and cheesecake bites. Fresh blueberries and mangos equal big points in my book. AND, as an added bonus, Cultive Frozen Yogurt is self serve. I really can't describe it, but there is something about having the power over how much and how many toppings I can choose to put in my yogurt creation.

Can you believe the frozen yoghurt is almost unknown in Europe??? Such a healthy alternative to ice cream... it's a shame! :) xxx

I don't see frozen yogurt much here in the UK, except in tubs from the supermarket. I'd love to get the self service fro yo with all the yummy toppings, I think I'd be like a kid in a sweetie shop.
