Pinkberry, FINALLY!!!

It's about time Atlanta got a Pinkberry! I know it's the south but we are seriously late to the party on this one. That being said, there are many other options in Atlanta that seem strikingly similar........Yoforia, Yogurberry, Juicy Green, Yogli Mogli. Ironically, I think my favorite of all is still TCBY! It brings back childhood memories since that used to be the only option for frozen yogurt. Anyways, Pinkberry is delicious. That being said, all of the yogurt places really are delicious. So, here's what distinguishes it from Yoforia in particular (since that is the place I frequent the most):

1) Price- Pinkberry seems to be a lot cheaper, at least for the "original" flavor. The other flavors, including pomegranate, mango, coconut, and chocolate, are a little bit more expensive than the original flavor ($0.75 or so) but I like the fact that they offer a cheaper option if you try their original flavor. It's a nice touch. My original with toppings was around $4. At Yoforia, I think it's more in the $5 range.

2) Size- Pinkberry offers 4 size options: tiny, small, medium and large. I really like the fact that they offer a tiny option just in case I'm feeling guilty but still have an urge. I ordered a small but felt my portion size was very generous! Last time I went to Yoforia, they only had 3 sizes: small, medium and large.

3) Toppings- If you choose the option with toppings, Pinkberry will put as many toppings on your yogurt as can possibly fit in the cup. Yoforia limits you to 3 toppings. I opted for the mango, strawberries, kiwi and mochi (you have to ask for these because they keep them in the fridge, not on display).

4) Taste- Pinkberry almost tastes like a mix between TCBY and Yoforia to me. Personally, I think Yoforia tastes a little on the "icy", sorbet side instead of the creamy TCBY type of yogurt. Pinkberry is a nice balance between the two.

All in all, I enjoyed my trip to Pinkberry, but it's kind of a hike since the only one in Atlanta right now is off of Northside Pkwy by Cumberland Mall. I would definitely go back if I was in the area, but as far as running out for dessert after dinner, I'll probably just stick to Yoforia since it's in my neck of the woods.
