In the world of desserts, frozen yogurt stands out as a delightful treat that provides a cool experience on a warm day. Sweet and not too heavy, frozen yogurt often can be found in varieties that are sugar or fat-free if you’re looking for a healthier option compared to ice cream. Among the bustling streets and quaint neighborhoods throughout Metro Detroit, several businesses have made significant strides in redefining this sweet experience. Let’s see how these frozen yogurt spots keep their customers coming back for more.
DAIRY O
208 South Main Street, Clawson
Dairy O is a local Clawson gem that prides itself on offering a variety of sweet treats. Here, you can choose to have many of the dessert creations made with frozen yogurt, from specialty sundaes and flurries to banana splits and malts. Dairy O boasts 24 flavors of ice cream and frozen yogurt, with classics to options like pina colada or bubblegum. Select your favorite flavor, and choose to enjoy it with dips and toppings like chocolate sprinkles or almonds.
WALLY’S FROZEN CUSTARD
22501 Harper Avenue, St. Clair Shores
Wally’s Frozen Custard is a St. Clair Shores staple. While primarily known for its rich frozen custard, Wally’s stands out with its innovative flavors of Dole Whip and frozen yogurt. Fat and sugar-free, the frozen yogurt flavor is rotated weekly, with new flavors being announced on social media. Order it in a cup, a cone, by itself, dipped, or even twisted with the weekly Dole Whip flavor. The Wally’s team is always dropping new flavors and combinations that drive customers to the transformed fire station building. Follow along on their Facebook, and you’ll certainly find a flavor worthy of a visit.
YOGURT CO.
2958 Biddle Avenue, Wyandotte
Yogurt Co. stands out with its inventive offerings and customer-focused promotions. Jay Mahfouz, the owner, explains, “[We’ve offered] the original ice cream nachos and crazy griddle cakes since 2013 at Yogurt Co. in Wyandotte. Our big trademarked day is No Weigh Wednesday every Wednesday! It consists of filling up your cup without weighing it as high as you want for 4 set prices! We carry over 40 flavors of Calder’s ice cream and frozen yogurt, 60 flavors of toppings, and more.” This innovative approach not only adds value but also a playful twist to the frozen yogurt experience. Pick your flavors, and toppings ranging from tapioca balls and candy to cereals and fruits, and enjoy!
THE YOGURT STATION
23701 Woodward Avenue, Pleasant Ridge
With the motto, “Treat Yourself Well,” The Yogurt Station has been serving up quality ice cream and frozen yogurt for 15 years. The Yogurt Station leans into its name with its Yogurt Fusions and yogurt smoothies. The fusion takes soft-serve yogurt and blends it with your choice of fruit topping, ranging from cherry, raspberry, pineapple, blueberry, banana, or strawberry. Have it just like that, or add a fun topping like chocolate candies, syrups, or cheesecake. For a non-frozen yogurt treat, the yogurt smoothies are also a hit. The Island Breeze smoothie features honey, pineapple, banana, mango, and non-fat yogurt, while the Triple Berry Treat has strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
YOGURTOWN
3424 Fairlane Drive, Allen Park
Yogurtown offers gourmet frozen yogurt and handmade gelato. Flavors change seasonally, but there are 14 frozen yogurt options and 6 for gelato. Choose a flavor and toppings for a custom frozen treat, or choose a drinkable dessert like a froyo smoothie. Another fun combination is the frolato, made with a mix of your choice of fro-yo and gelato. Beyond the frozen desserts, Yogurtown also specializes in boba tea, crepes, and acai bowls.
