The closest YogurTree from home for us, the critics, opened just a couple of months ago in Rowland Heights. It is located on Fullerton Rd. and Colima. YogurTree's yogurt has often been compared to Pinkberry's, and has won over the hearts of many customers. They give a generous portion for less than the price of Pinkberry's; and better yet, no crazy crowd to beat. YogurTree offers about 6 different flavors of non-fat yogurt. They've got plain tart, plain gourmet, mango, green tea, and soy! I haven't actually had the chance to try the soy yogurt, but I've heard it tastes just like the original for vegans. The yogurt has the perfection combination of tart and creamy. My personal favorite was the yopresso (yogurt + a shot of espresso). Very clever. Another bonus, for the music lovers out there, YogurTree has an iPod docking station to listen to your own iPod as you enjoy their yogurt!

Environment:

The environment is meant to be more fun than other yogurt shops. They were bold enough to try new colors rather than most yogurt shops who use the pale pinks and greens to offer a calm and soothing environment. I personally don't agree with their choice of colors for the decor. The inside isn't very spacious but they do offer outdoor seating which most of their customers prefer.

This new yogurt shop has become a favorite for many and there are 2 other locations in Southern California, Studio City and Woodland Hills. I hope this place expands quickly so I can stop by wherever I am.
