I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for....Yagoot!

Have you ever needed a snack break in the middle of a long day of errands and shopping to keep you going?  Well, I have the place for you to kick up your feet and quench your snack craving.  The place is Yagoot in Rookwood Commons, my favorite place for a healthy dessert, anytime of the day.  Yagoot, which is owned by Busken Bakery, opened approximately one year ago and every time I go in there, the lines are longer and longer. The décor is vibrant and modern, they have free wireless, and it is conveniently located less than a mile away from my house. But that is just the environment, we haven't even started on why this frozen yogurt specialty is so good.

Yagoot-Oh how I love you, let me count the ways.  One, a small cup (between 5-6 ounces) is only approximately 150-180 calories, which makes a great healthy snack.  Two, toppings include all types of fresh fruit (not the syrupy canned stuff) but real mango, kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. They also have unique toppings like mochi (Japanese sticky rice cake), crunchy cereals, and standard toppings like sprinkles and mini chocolate chips.

love this place! i'd recommend the original with mango and kiwi, mmmm

i really like it, too. i like how the yogurt is tangy. and fresh fruit on top is yummy.

although, i wish it weren't in a strip mall. it needs to be in some walkable neighborhood where it would get more foot traffic. also, it's weird once you are eating your yogurt and are just sort of standing around next to a parking lot. zero atmosphere.

I've had to explain Yagoot people as "yogurt that's frozen" vs. "frozen yogurt." The mochi is one of the best toppings!

I actually think it's location is great! During the summer they lay out the padded seating area on the stones. It's a great place to relax and catch up with a friend or end a perfect date. Plus I always take my delicious treat with me for a walk around the Commons. Making sure to stop at my two favorite local stores in the area - Bed Bath and Beyond and Whole Paycheck.

I was looking for this the other day. i dont usually post in forums but i wanted to say thank you!
