I always drive by this place when I'm in Tempe and never stopped until this evening. After some spicy wings, I thought froyo would be the perfect way to cool off my tastebuds. \n\nAs we entered Yogurtini, I was initially impressed by the decor. Mod, space-agey furnishings in white and aqua gave me high expectations for the quality and taste of the froyo. \n\nI was not too impressed by the selection of flavors, however. There seemed to be a lot of just white/off white/vanilla varients. Meh. I tried cake batter, peanut butter, and snickerdoodle. On a side note - I think Yogurtini has the hugest yogurt cup I've ever seen in my life. I could have worn it as a fez. Who could eat that much?!\n\nThe toppings bar was where Yogurtini disappointed me. They had a large variety and a few unconventional toppings (I was pleased to see frosted animal cookies!) but the topping bar was messy and disorganized. Some of the toppings were mixed together and there didn't seem any concern for nut allergies since they were jumbled up with the fruits and cookies. My favorite topping is Reese's peanut butter cups, and I had a major problem spooning them onto my yogurt. It looked like the Reese's had been mashed with a potato masher and compacted into a solid brick in the bottom of the container. I tried to pry some out with the spoon, but they were packed so tightly that I had to use force; the Reese's ended up flying all over the place! It was like a Reese's massacre. \n\nAs for the taste of the yogurt, I was really disappointed by the snickerdoodle. It overwhelmed the other flavors, which were both so bland that they just kind of disappeared. The snickerdoodle fro-yo tasted like bad cinnamon gum to me. The texture of the yogurt wasn't bad, but definitely not the best that I've had. \n\nOverall, Yogurtini gets points for having animal cookies, thin mints (!), and decent decor. The toppings bar and the yogurt itself need work.
