Yigloo’s another recent startup in the local froyo scene, occupying a little shop space at the basement of Vivocity, boasting cute decorations, an interior designed almost to look like someone’s little house and yet another froyo concept.So Yigloo works like this : enter the shop, star at the scrolling LED lights for the available flavours, ask one of the staff to get you a sample if you wish, decide on the flavour/flavours of your choice, go to the cashier and ask a staff for your desired cup s
So Yigloo works like this : enter the shop, star at the scrolling LED lights for the available flavours, ask one of the staff to get you a sample if you wish, decide on the flavour/flavours of your choice, go to the cashier and ask a staff for your desired cup size (small, medium, large) and they will proceed to swirl the cup with the flavours of your choice. Prices are fixed according to cup size – not weight, not number of toppings. Once you have gotten your unadorned froyo and paid up, you then proceed on to their toppings bad to load your cup up with whatever toppings you wish, in whatever quantity you desire, all at no additional charge. Then grab some napkins and spoons, and start eating!
I was rather surprised at first since I assumed that the customers get to swirl their own froyo since the machines are displayed out in the open for easy access. However, I’ve learnt from previous experiences that the fun factor of doing your own swirling is but a small factor int he froyo experience. I actually enjoyed the froyo at Yigloo quite a bit! I chose a medium cup ($5.50), filled it up with original (my default), and topped it with some diced tangerines, blueberries and strawberries. The froyo itself – the make or break factor – was pretty decent, quite remenicent of Red Mango (my favourite) actually! Smooth, slightly creamy, not too sweet and very light – twas an enjoyable cup.
The way I see it, Yigloo has several things going for it – a wide range of flavour choices, a fixed price, a range of toppings for a one-time free-flow loading, and a cute environment. All that makes for a fun and stress-free experience (no worrying about how heavy the cup’s going to be and how expensive it’ll be!) with decent froyo too. The only down side would be that the shop feels very… open and exposed. Sitting there on a weekend afternoon with the heavy traffic moving by the open concept shop wasn’t exactly very relaxing or good for hanging around at. Nonetheless, I’ll be back for a cup to-go should I be around the area!
