Berrywild...yes, more frozen yogurt

OK, OK, this is THE VERY LAST frozen yogurt place for a couple of months!

Reviews vary...not bad...but one person (whom I suspect may be right) says place used to be better and cheaper..

    I really liked this place.  I work 2 blocks away and never knew it was there and went for the first time yesterday.

    The pricing was what you expect for a shop located on Lexington Ave.  I got the Caramel Pretzel flavor with a bunch of different toppings.  They had a pretty good selection of candy, fruit, and other toppings.

    Although some FroYo places I've been to let you add  your own toppings, I appreciated the almost OCD-like manner in which the young lady working there added my toppings.  She definitely took pride in her work and the result was delicious.

    I definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

    Quality-wise, this is good frozen yogurt. I just got the basic flavor with some mocci, which I enjoyed. The yogurt was a good consistency, and the flavor was great, and the mocci was the right texture as well. My only complaint is that they charge by the topping, so it could get pricy. I prefer the charge by weight of many other fro-yo places.

    Stopped here today after work.. Pretty small place, very simple decor. The yogurt here is actually pretty damn good. I tried a pomegranate w/ blackberries; it was very smooth, great balance of sweet and sour. I also had a sample of the coffee, I would probably try that one next. Great prices too, I expected this place to be as pricey as Red Mango, but it wasn't. Great find! Definitely recommend this to someone looking for a healthier alternative to ice cream! :D

    Berrywild, I used to love you. What happened?

    Greed happened. Berrywild used to be the humble frozen yogurt place that didn't even try to compete with Pinkberry. Now it seems to think it's okay to ignore the comments in the comment box BEGGING them to bring back original flavors and making EACH TOPPING (and stingy amounts of it at that) 95 cents! Excuse me? No frozen yogurt addiction is worth a buck a topping. Especially if I can't even get the flavor of yogurt I wanted.

    Not a bad fro-yo place. It's pricey, but with a location on Lexington and 63rd, you expect it. I decided to do the medium cup with 3 toppings for $6.50 (with tax, $6.95.) I think it's a slightly better deal than getting a small cup at $3.95 with extra toppings at $0.95 each, because seriously, is 2 small spoonfuls of blueberries REALLY worth $0.95? Didn't think so.

    You yelpers were raving about the passion fruit flavor, so I went for it. A-OK! It was definitely more "icy" than creamy. But it wasn't like a sorbet, if that makes any sense to ya. Add some blueberries, mochi, and granola and I was a happy camper.

    I liked how they had 2 different lines, an express line for cash only, and a credit/debit/cash line. I felt it made the line go faster. All the employees were nice and quickly produced everyone's order. If I'm in the area, I'd stop by again.

    I had a sampling of the cookies & cream yogurt and was sold. Initially.

    Wish I wasn't sold so easily.

    Pro: They have lychee as a topping.
    Con: Yogurt was "meh" en masse.

    It kinda lost its character after a few spoonfuls. It almost just kinda tasted grainy.

    Great on a hot day regardless. Wonder what they do in the winter.

    The cookies & cream froyo is out of this world. So good. So creamy. So cookie-y. Can't wait to try all the flavors. It's going to be a long summer, right?

    Discovered this gem of a spot on an unbearably hot early afternoon this spring. Menu is limited to froyo & nothing but froyo. Pretty sure they don't even sell bottled water!

    Anywho... I decided to try to the Flavor of the Month, Cookies & Cream. I noted the extremely creamy texture and the fact that it wouldn't need the standard topping of Oreos that I'm known for defaulting to, since it tasted as though Oreos were infused into vanilla froyo.

    My only qualm was the feeling I had in my mouth post scoop. Wasn't used to that, but otherwise I can't see why I wouldn't be back at this cute little UES froyo shop in the future.

    Prices are about average for these little froyo shops. $5 for a medium with no toppings

    As with many other people who are fans of Red Mango and Pinkberry that are skeptical about other fro-yo places, I was skeptical too try it too. But don't make that mistake, try this place and you will become a Berrywild fan as well!! I must have passed byt his place a million times but never tried it  until recently when a friend brought me.

    And Im so glad to say that they have a mini size!! Which is the perfect portion for someone with a small apetite. Red Mango's small is really like a medium...But Berrywilds mini was just right. I tried the original flavor with mochi, and it was so so good, perfectly tart but still creamy. I can also say that the guy at the register was very nice and friendly.
    Was this review …?
