Dig your Spoon into something new...

Let’s do it “The Big Spoon Way.” Frozen yogurt for breakfast is not anyone’s typical morning pick-me-up; however, it is quite delicious.

Upon entering Big Spoon Yogurt on J Street, a friendly employee handed out miniature cups for sample tasting and made everyone feel welcome. It’s a serve-yourself-type-of-place, but once the digging in begins there’s no stopping.

There is not much service involved in the Big Spoon Yogurt desert bar. Since everything is out in the open and attainable with spoons, cups, and handles there is no need for help. It’s probably better to serve yourself anyway because of the many choices involved. All flavors are right-in-your-face so it makes it fairly easy to grab anything and fill up to create a treat. Even though there is not much service involved, all the employees are pleasant and helpful. If anything is needed the employees are happy to help. Asking for anything is not a problem.

The process of make your own frozen yogurt treat begins with selecting a flavor of frozen yogurt. Big Spoon offers, peanut butter, raspberry, vanilla bean, original tart, very berry, and milk chocolate. All flavors are flavorful, so it makes it fairly difficult to choose just one! Choosing one flavor of frozen yogurt is not the most difficult task because there are many toppings that still need to be chosen. Decisions…. Decisions….

Once the frozen yogurt is picked, the next step is picking through the many toppings Big Spoon has to offer. There are soooooo many choices! Everyone has a different preference of what they like; at Big Spoon, there are over 75 flavorful toppings, so even the picky eater can find something.

The toppings range from gummy sharks, candy corn, yogurt chips, honey smacks, cheesecake bites, maraschino cherries teddy grahams, to cashews, cookies and cream, chocolate syrup and whip cream just to name a few.

After going through the many decisions of what flavors will partake in the taste bud explosion, simply take the cup to the register. At this point, the cup will be weighed and then the grand total will be announced. With so many choices of frozen yogurt and toppings, remember that it is 39 cents an ounce, so overloading the cup can add up.

After paying for the tasty treat there’s nothing left to do, but sit down and enjoy. The flavors are fresh and delightful. The rich tasting flavors of fruits, candy, syrup topping, and yogurt are suitable for an excellent desert. It doesn’t matter what time of the day it is, a frozen yogurt treat with toppings that can meet anyone’s expectations is great.

Big Spoon Yogurt is one of the best places to have desert. If frozen yogurt is a favorite then this place is THE place to be. The atmosphere is fun and colorful and is topped off by bright lighting. Everything that is wanted out of a yogurt place is at Big Spoon Yogurt. Bursting flavors, bright lighting, colorful artwork, and cheerful employees is what desert is all about.

Desert time just got better.

  1. A smooth (as yogurt) review!

    The review is long on details about the food, a little less about the experience of the writer.

    Perhaps more details about how she enjoyed the food, etc, would have made this stronger.

    And, also, what was the ultimate tab for the breakfast needed to be part of the piece.

    Curious readers also wonder about seating capacity, hours of operation, lighting, etc..

    Good beginning and lead, and nice ending, except the writer probably meant dessert (the kind you eat) not desert (the place you don't want to get stuck without water or yogurt).
