yagoot

lauren and i met up at yagoot last week so i could buy tickets for the roller derby. of course, we also had to eat yogurt. lauren loves yagoot but i had never had it before. i'm not a big frozen yogurt person, but yagoot is delicious. it is not really sweet... it is a sour yogurt that is apparently very similar to pinkberry if you have ever had that. you can get fruit or a variety of crunchy toppings (chocolate chips, granola, fruity pebbles, etc.) on top. the yogurt itself comes in plain, coffee, or strawberry.

yagoot? ya, goot! (like i could pass that one up)

yagoot is apparently not a chain, although it seems like it should be based on its sleek logo design and modern interior. the busken bakery people came up with yagoot and served it in busken stores years ago, then stopped for some reason. yagoot is awesome and you should check it out even if you are not normally into frozen yogurt. currently the only yagoot store is located in rookwood, but it is open until 11 pm every day which is convenient.

the interior... very mod

as for the roller derby, it is also awesome and you should definitely go to their next bout on may 9 at cincinnati gardens.

Yagoot is one of my favorite treats :) It's "healthy" enough to justify (hey, it's better for you than Graeter's...) The only thing I don't like is that if you take a long time to eat frozen treats (like I do, darn sensitive teeth) the fresh fruit gets slightly frozen again, which causes me to eat even slower. It's a vicious cycle... but totally worth it. I also love that it's open late.

Hi, Brian Busken here from Yagoot. Just wanted to let you guys know we are opening a 2nd store in the kenwood towne centre, slated to open early July. We'll have a new surprise on the menu when we open Kenwood! Thanks again for your kind comments about Yagoot!
