It probably sounds shocking that a 20-something year old female Native New Yorker has never been to Pinkberry. But, shocking as it may or may not be, it's true.
I went to Pinkberry for the first time this week. I'd heard rave reviews from friends over the years, but was just never compelled to go in--until now.
Pinkberry brands itself as a healthy frozen yogurt chain where you can get all natural yogurt in a variety of delicious flavours with an impressive array of toppings, from the standard sprinkles and cookie crumbles to a selection of fresh fruit. It's typical of a lot of smaller to-go chains popping up all over the country, and particularly in New York City. Pinkberry is small, with a clean and crisp interior--white and green walls with clear, modern-looking chairs and seating. It tries to look healthy and clean, and comes off as such. Their frozen yogurt is pretty tasty. I was pleased with my combination of pomegranate yogurt with blackberries, granola, and strawberries as toppings.
The only complaint I had was that the price was not as marked. I got a medium, which I was told came with 3 free toppings included in the cost. The price was about $2 more than I anticipated, and the service was not as good as I could have hoped.
All in all, it's a good product, but if you're trying to be on a budget, make sure you clarify what you are getting before you get an unpleasant surprise.
