After we relieved ourselves, we went back to Qoola and we each got a Qoolala as they call it. There were a bunch of flavours to choose from but I chose the original flavour plus a mixture of strawberry lemonade and a berry mix (I can't remember the name) and I added strawberries, kiwis, blackberries and raspberries on top.
Qoola is one of the frozen yogurt bar's that charge you by weight. I find that this way of charging can end up pretty costly especially if you are like me and like to add fruit on top which tends to weigh more than say gummy bears. I don't think it necessarily costs a lot more than other yogurt bar's that charge this way though.
One thing about these types of frozen yogurt bar's is that you serve yourself. You go get your own frozen yogurt and add your own toppings on to it. It might be fun to get your own frozen yogurt although I prefer when someone else does it for me because than it looks all pretty. I know my priorities may be a little skewed but I like pretty things. Now the adding your own toppings onto it, that's the part that I find CAN get messy. People scooping what they want into their bowls and not putting things back where they belong. This is a huge concern to me since I remember going to one of the places that were like this and the person I was with was allergic to some things. It becomes very difficult to ensure that one container won't be contaminated by the other and makes it near impossible for someone with allergies to pick toppings. Obviously, the person working their will do their best to keep things clean but when your busy, you can only do so much.
Now for the most important part, how did it taste?
I chose the original flavour for this purpose. The original flavour was good but it was more sweet than tart the way an actual yogurt is like, which was a bit disappointing. I love frozen yogurt because it's NOT as creamy tasting as gelato's and ice creams can be, it's usually got a bit of a tartness. I did really enjoy the strawberry lemonade flavour, it seems perfect for the hot summer months but that one was TOO tart in some ways. A mixture was definitely a good choice on my part.
The service at the location I went to was pretty good. They had a pretty good variety of flavours I think but most importantly, the flavours that I tasted didn't taste artificial or anything. Price is about the same, but you can save a few cents if you bring back your old Qoola container, it said it in store but I don't see it online so I can't give you the exact amount you'd be able to save. All this being said, I would definitely go back for more.
Have you tried Qoola in Vancouver? What did you think?
