I made it over to the new Pinkberry yogurt place on Magazine Street; it’s a bright, cheery space, with lots of slick, shiny surfaces and ridiculously cheerful/helpful employees. At lunchtime, it was mobbed with high-school girls in Catholic-school plaid, hotly debating the merits of one topping over another: “but I don’t like Fruity Pebbles…” Aside from a few silly cereal choices, most toppings leaned toward fresh fruit, granola, or nuts.
I went for the tart, original flavor….and I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted like good-quality yogurt, only frozen. Not overly sweet, or too synthetic in texture, it’s clearly a low-fat product, but a damn good one. Paired with a mixed-nut topping, the mini size was less than $3….so I’m officially a fan: I like reasonable portion sizes paired with reasonable prices. (Yes, I also like the kiddie cup size at Ben & Jerry’s, but you can buy a pint at the supermarket for the same price.)
I was skeptical because I’m rarely a fan of frozen yogurt but I’ve been twice and enjoyed it both times. I like the Original tart with fruit and honey. I could really do without the long wait though. It’s good but not wait-in-line-for-30-minutes good.
Wow–a 30 minute wait? I guess i lucked out as I never waited in line.

If I’m waiting 30 minutes for a cold tangy treat, it’s for a Hansen’s satsuma.
