O-Yo Frozen Yogurt — Local services in Swampscott

I like this place OK given that there is no other frozen yogurt self-serve bar like this anywhere in the area. The style place is very very common in New York where I moved from. The frozen yogurt flavors here leave something to be desired. The chocolate is pretty good and the plain/California Tart is pretty good, but all the other flavors have a very funky taste. I have tried probably 50 different places like this and I’ve had frozen yogurt a few hundred times over the past 25 years. The owner needs to examine the flavors and maybe try some other places because there is something wrong here. The sea salted caramel pretzel, cookies, and cream, and even the vanilla, which is generally one of my favorite flavors , I would stay away from. I’ll still come back here because again is the only place like this around and those two plain flavors are good enough, but I wish they would do a little quality control. It would be very...

I'm assuming everyone is wondering how the heck there are the DreamWorks "Minions" characters on the outside of the windows. Somehow I'm guessing Mr. O-Yo isn't sending a monthly check to Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg for the rights.

So it works (of course)- our own minions require this place over Kells Kreme or whatever else is around there because of their love of yellow bad guys. Our children aren't in charge of much, but they are the overlords of our ice cream world.

The frozen yogurt is perfectly adequate and the toppings are on point. It's pricey, yes, but it's what you'd expect and when you have kids that's gold.

Hmm, I wonder if Kell has let Steve and Jeff know about their ice cream shoppe?

Would Elsa go here in winter in Arendelle? Yes.

Would Steven Spielberg go here No.

Would Frosty risk it all and go in? No.

Would you go in? Yes.

Should you...

I actually love the yogurt from this place, but for some reason the owner won’t invest in lids for the cups of yogurt. When I go to this place I get 2 cups and fill them up and put them in my freezer to enjoy them throughout the week. So I spend usually about $30 each time I go in there and I have to cover the cups with aluminum foil. Then the yogurt spills all Over my car on the way home cause aluminum foil really isn’t what should be covering a cup of frozen yogurt. You’d think when you’re spending $30 on frozen yogurt, the least the business could do is provide a cover. I’ve attached a photo of what my yogurt looks like today when I took it out of the freezer. Hey O-Yo owner…..please buy lids for the cups or I’m gonna boycott your establishment. No one wants tin foil and it...
