Pinkberry Gets Scooped by Yogurberry in Midtown
While Pinkberry continues its quest for Frozen Yogurt World Domination (according to Eater, two more locations are opening soon in Midtown), blatant rip off Yogurberry quietly opened inside of the Cafe Duke on 41st & Broadway yesterday.
The menu, prices, and general concept are exactly the same. As for taste, I don’t really know since I’ve never eaten at Pinkberry (and only ate the Yogurberry because they were giving away free samples). My thoughts on the subject of the new Frozen Yogurt Craze are perfectly summed up 1 minute and 56 seconds into this amazing Gakwer Video.

[...] I noticed yesterday that a “Yogurtberry” has opened in the ‘Duke in Times Square, selling the same LA-imported, or-is-it-Asian? yogurt-flavored yogurt everyone in New York plotzing over. I’ve heard tell of a “Berrywild,” a “Yogurtpia,” something known as “Frogurt” that is only available at Bloomingdale’s and is, for those truly in the know, the best curdled milk with the consistency of snow out there. I tasted Yogurtberry and it’s sour. Kind of good. But not change-your-life good. Or seek-it-out good. Or even have-again good. [...]

Nothing like a fat-free frozen yogurt. I tried Yogurberry last week and I’m hooked. Ate Pinkberry, but Yogurberry has a different taste. Something about it just lingers on your taste buds and makes you want more. I heard they’re coming out with soft serve locations at some stores. Can’t wait!!!!!

Apparently, Cafe Duke has changed Yogurberry to Yoggi. It pretty much tastes the same and has the same types of toppings - sprinkles, chocolate chips, granola, lots of cut up fruit but no cereal. And, the price went up! It’s $3.99 for a regular and $1 per topping. It’s a total rip off because I can get a regular with 3 toppings for a little less than $6 at Pinkberry or Red Mango. Oh well.
