Fraiche Yogurt

Came here for the first time with some friends that were raving about it. It’s one of those places that are all organic and upscale yogurt like. It’s a fairly small place with a few tables and couches.

They only serve greek style yogurt and frozen yogurt made with the greek style yogurt. The yogurt is apparently made on the premises.

The frozen yogurt comes in three different flavours: chocolate, natural, and soy.

There are a variety of toppings that can be added to your yogurt: three different types of honey, maple syrup, kiwi, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, chocolate shavings, toasted almonds, coconut, some types of fruit preserves, graham crackers, and I’m sure I’m missing some still.

They also have some local coffee produced by someplace in Oakland.

You can also feel self righteous and supporting of organic food and like you’re being healthy by getting this frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.

This only get’s a 3 for now because I have to go back and try some more. I had the natural frozen yogurt with strawberries and kiwi. I also sampled the chocolate frozen yogurt.

I really did not like the chocolate frozen yogurt. It was much too bitter and not very smooth (in taste). Sorta like if you had coffee in Italy vs. the coffee at Peet’s.

The natural was much better. The texture is not as smooth as ice cream or gelato, but the taste is pretty good with the fruit.

I still need to try the unfrozen yogurt, and a bunch of the other toppings. For now, if I had a choice between gelato or frozen yogurt, I think I’d go for gelato.
