A pair of frozen yogurt connoisseurs get the scoop on this summer’s favorite sweet treat by visiting four Palo Alto froyo shops.

644 Emerson Street

“Fraîche has the healthiest, freshest, and most traditional froyo, however it has only two flavors and a small range of toppings.” ~Elaine Liu

“My order of chocolate shavings, strawberries and original tart yogurt, ended up being a bit on the bland side. Nevertheless, this quiet, dimly lit restaurant is a fun place to meet up with friends.” ~Eugenah Chou

429 University Ave

“Everything about Red Mango works. The cheery atmosphere, comfortable seats and quick service offer the best froyo dining experience by a large margin. ” ~Eugenah Chou

“With a fresh variety of froyo flavors and delicious fruit toppings, Red Mango was definitely the best froyo place out of the four. ” ~Elaine Liu

276 University Ave

“L’Amour is extremely family friendly, but it is tuned to children instead of older students. It offers self-serve froyo and a huge variety of flavors and toppings; however, it is extremely easy to go overboard and pay much more than expected. ” ~Elaine Liu

“The yogurt is delicious. I enjoyed experimenting with all the flavors, but ended up having to pay much more than I was ready to. This quirky café is suitable for group outings, and great for froyo first timers.”

340 S. California Ave

“The yogurt served here is more sour than tart, but redeemed by its delicious, organic toppings including fruits and chocolate. Culture is a bright, neat little place, but not particularly extraordinary.” ~Eugenah Chou

“With its modern and environmentally friendly furnishings, it has the perfect setting for its fresh frozen yogurt. Culture has a moderate range of toppings and offers three different flavors, including a seasonal flavor that changes every couple months.” ~Elaine Liu
