and there’s also CoolGreens in the Avondale plaza…haven’t tried it yet, but the salad I had was good. Yeah, salads and fro-yo.

Hey Kelly, there is a new fro-yo place on Western Avenue across the street from Will Rogers Theatre and Sushi Neko. It’s called Fruiti Yogurt. I went there last week and it was pretty good. Same concept and all. I think pink swirls and Lushberries are a little better, maybe a little creamier, but Fruiti Yogurt is good if you’re in that area.

I really like both Pink Swirl and Lushberry, but Lushberry is more convenient for me to get to since my office is right on Broadway Extension. I really like the Taro flavor best at Lushberry. I do wish there was a fro-yo place near the Western district, maybe at the new Classen Curve. Anybody?

I’m not a huge frozen dessert fan, but last night we tried Lushberries fro-yo for the first time and really enjoyed it. The place is extremely clean and the girls working there are very friendly and helpful. The crepe menu looked enticing so I’ll have to go back and try them for lunch sometime.

Lushberries in Yukon IS NOT open yet. Sams said it is- but it is still under construction and looks no where near opening. There is also an ORANGE TREE going in across the street from the Luchberries in Yukon. RIGHT across the street! Pink Swirls is advertising that theya re opening in Yukon as well. COMPETITION!

I am a huge Lushberries Fan. The Tara flavor is my favorite! My family goes multiple times throughout the week; we dont even live close. The customer service is wonderful, they are always friendly. The Fro Yo tastes very clean-good quality. They are always changing their flavors and trying new flavors recommended by customers. Its clean. It has a wonderful atmosphere. They are GREAT with picky kids (our boy!). They are very clean. THEY HAVE AMAZING CREPES! If you are a nutella fan, you MUST try the crepe with mango nutella and whip cream…AMAZING! For all those who tweet, they are on twitter and update regularly to let you know the new flavors, events, specials, etc. It is all around, a wonderful fro yo place. Its by far my family’s favorite.

@Sarah – I believe the Lemon Tree I mentioned above serves some savory crepes. I’ve only been there once and all we had was the yogurt but if I remember correctly they had crepes served with deli meats on their menu.

Pink Swirls is still my absolute favorite, but I was REALLY happy when Lushberries opened up, much closer to where I work (not that it keeps me from going out of the way to PS every once in a while).

I was really happy when I saw they had Taro yogurt, as I hadn’t run across that before yet it’s one of my favorite flavors in the world. The toppings have a good variety, a lot of fruit and not a lot of excessive candy or sugary ingredients.
One hiccup I did run across is that they were out of the Natural yogurt flavor last time I went, which was a real disappointment.

They also don’t offer a shake/smoothie option from what I can tell, and sometimes that’s what I’m in the mood for as it’s a lot more portable than yogurt in a tub.

I have gotten the crepes twice… First I got the signature combination (can’t remember what it’s called) with nutella/strawberries/banana/whipped cream. It was a great crepe but the combo was a bit much (hard to eat, the cut of the fruit was way too big) so the next time I just got nutella and strawberries and it was perfect (though they still used the same huge strawberries, weird).
I also got a crepe to-go for a friend, which I wouldn’t recommend… I should have known better, but it lost a lot of the fresh crepe magic on the 5 minute drive back to work.

Request: there are not a lot of crepe shops in the OKC area (in fact I can’t think of any!) but I’ve lived in lots of places in the world that had them and frequented them often. Maybe push the crepes more and extend the options for flavors. Look to European combos for inspiration, or maybe savory crepes if you ever want to go the lunch route (seems to work with Pink Swirls’ sushi).

I have had my first taste of live culture frozen yogurt in NYC from PinkBerry where the whole craze started. It reminds me of my moms old home made yogurt but in a soft serve version. I’ve been trying to find a place that could match the flavor of what she used to make, and Lush Berries by far gets the closest and best tasting yogurt I have tried from various other major cities that have plenty of these specialty shops. Lush Berries is at the top of my list anywhere.

Heather: Yes there is a fro-yo place near the Homeland at 104th and Penn. It is called Lemon Tree and they do crepes also instead of sushi.

There is also another Orange Tree going in at 119th and Western.

I’ve had fro-yo at Pink Swirls and Lemon Tree and maybe I’m just not enough of a fro-yo fan but I didn’t really care for either…. I think I’ll stick with frozen custard for awhile longer.

My husband is not one for eating sweets, but he is the one to suggest we stop by Pink Swirls on the way home. I do wish there was an option for a smaller “bowl” – very few Americans need the tubs most of the fro-yo places hand out and it is way too easy to fill ‘em up. I did notice an older couple who filled one bowl and got two spoons – maybe that is what WE should do! (When we were in Pink Swirls Sunday we saw they now have two sizes of bowls – big and Good Grief!

Just got back from Pink Swirls and I must say, I’m still torn between them and Lushberries. The yogurt was pretty delicious on a hot day like today!

I still love Pink Swirls, and I live 5 minutes from the MWC location so, my choice is still Pink Swirls!

But, it’s nice to see new businesses opening up and it shows that Oklahoma is strong and not suffering from major economic issues like other states are.

Thanks for the review!

Also, had a little Fro-Yo in San Antonio over the weekend. Their Fro-Yo selection is not NEAR the quality of OKC’s, and at $0.40 per oz. it’s not NEAR as good.

I think Pink Swirls will still get my business for now. I work at Tinker, and live only 4 miles from there as well, so it’s definitely the best bet for myself. I will definitely try Lushberries the next time I am in Edmond though.
