I love all varieties of frozen desserts. Sometimes I crave full-fat hard ice cream, other times soft-serve frozen yogurt hits the spot. Tonight was a fro-yo type of night. We set out for Mixx on Brighton Avenue, only to discover the shop was closed due to a fire at the neighboring restaurant. Ultimate disappointment. In a moment of desperation I considered walking around the corner to McDonald’s for an ice cream cone. Luckily, I came to my senses and we decided to just head home to prevent me from making any rash decisions. While walking to our apartment from our car we passed by Bubble Tea & Berry on Beacon and felt that tonight would be the night to try their fro-yo. The white board out front often advertises a raspberry pomegranate flavor — probably my two most favorite fruits — so I was excited to finally try it. Like at Mixx, the frozen yogurt at Bubble Tea is self-serve, so I decided to go for a $1 serving. My estimation skills were just about right, though I did go over by a couple of dimes. I wasn’t especially wowed by the flavor of the yogurt — it wasn’t tart, like I was expecting. Also, the topping selection was pretty poor. Tim got cookies and cream yogurt with nonpariels and mini-M&Ms on top — it was good/satisfying, but not great. So, moral of the story: if you want an amazing frozen yogurt experience, don’t go to Bubble Tea & Berry; but if you’re craving just a little taste of frozen goodness, do go there and fill a cup with just a dollar’s worth.
