Cost/Portions: 4

The price for yogurt and toppings is 46 cents per ounce. Though this price is higher than Sweet Frog’s, the amount of discounts offered by Yogo Crazy is plentiful. They have a stamp card that, when filled, will get you a free yogurt. The list of special discount days goes on and on, and if you are conscious of their discounts and deals, your yogurt will likely be cheaper than a yogurt purchased at Sweet Frog.

Yogo Crazy takes the frozen yogurt experience to a new level. With two TVs, fun music, walls decorated with life-sized stickers, and the “Wall of Toppings,” Yogo Crazy is as bright and crazy as the wild yogurt concoctions their customers indulge in. Yogo Crazy also has a variety of indoor seating options, ranging from booths to couches to cushions, totaling around 50 indoor seats, significantly more than Sweet Frog.

Service: 4

The employees at Yogo Crazy are as bright and friendly as their surroundings. Customers are typically greeted by an employee as they enter the self-serve yogurt area, and are there to answer questions and explain the process.

Flavor Variety: 5

There are a total of 16 flavors lining the yogurt wall, ranging from Original Tart to Candy Bar Smash. The yogurt flavors are rotated year round and are always new and different.

Topping Variety: 4

During my visit to Yogo Crazy, there were a total of 30 dry toppings and 19 cold toppings. There were also more than 15 sauces. Yogo Crazy has all of the basic toppings, but keeps it interesting with seasonal snacks like Peeps and chocolate Easter eggs. Though there appear to be more toppings at Yogo Crazy because of their clever display, the number of toppings is the same as the number at Sweet Frog.

At Sweet Frog, the price for your yogurt and toppings per ounce is 39 cents. Though this is cheaper than Yogo Crazy, there are fewer discounts available. Sweet Frog offers a stamp card similar to the one Yogo Crazy has, as well as coupons, but that is the extent of their discounts.

Sweet Frog is lined with white chairs and tables, filled with white lanterns, and pastel wall decorations. The decor is more simple than that of Yogo Crazy, but still makes for a clean and fun look. However, Sweet Frog has considerably less indoor seating than Yogo Crazy.

Service: 4

The employees at Sweet Frog are friendly and helpful, but there is very little for them to do because of the self-serve nature of frozen yogurt. The shop is smaller than Yogo Crazy’s, so the employees can easily speak to the customers from behind the counter.

Flavor Variety: 3

Sweet Frog had a total of 10 flavors available when I visited the store. Sweet Frog, like Yogo Crazy, rotates their flavors, but there seems to be generally less variety because of the limited number of yogurt stations in operation.

Topping Variety: 4

The toppings at Sweet Frog are competitive to those at Yogo Crazy, and seem to be equally as diverse. During my visit to the shop there were 49 toppings total on display, and more than 10 sauces available.
