Peachwave Frozen Yogurt
 

We went to Peachwave Frozen Yogurt, next door to Cici's in Colony Plaza tonight. It's brand new and it's great!
They have 16 flavors of frozen yogurt and just about any topping you can imagine. It's self service, which is new for me with frozen anything. You grab a cup, pull the lever for your favorite flavor or flavors, add the toppings then place your cup on a scale at the checkout. You pay by the weight of your yogurt.
We've been watching the progress on the shop for awhile, wonder when it would ever open. It was worth the wait.
The only negative is that it might be a little too close to our home in St. Charles. It could get to be a habit. At least the yogurt choices are non-fat or low fat.

Is it all berry and citrus kind of flavored yogurt or do they have staples like vanilla, chocolate, etc.?

Thanks!

Russ, u have to expand your horizons, BTW where did u get the impression it is only beery and citrus (but if I had to guess I'd say they have the staples)...gn

I'll be there first thing tomorrow ! With the increase in gas prices I was having to cut out some of my visits to Ollies, but this is in my back yard. Didn't see any thing about sugar free flavors, so will have to see how that works out. Fingers crossed.

They have vanilla, chocolate and 14 others. Wow!
I have a serious weakness for ice cream and this is pretty darned close.

I didn't notice any sugar free flavors but I really wasn't looking.
If you like I'll do a recon mission tomorrow. It'll be a big sacrifice but I'm willing to take a round for the group.
I'm goin' in!

I tried it out earlier this week. They had coffee flavored, vanilla cupcake, peanut butter, white chocolate cheesecake and a few other non-berry, non-citrus flavors.

Cost was 39c/oz I think.

Very similar setup to the High Five ice cream store up in the strip center in front of Walmart on 466. But, I liked the texture and flavor of the frozen yogurt at PeachWave much better than High Five. Probably a personal taste choice.

They were smart to open at the beginning of warm weather season. I wish them well. That's got to be a tough business to be successful.

High Five Yoghurt on CR 466 offers many choices and almost all are low fat.
People go there for a low calorie dessert and then add a handful of nuts and chocolate!

I really preferred the yoghurt shop on 466 that closed because you could get the yoghurt in a plain cone. I find that eating yoghurt in a plastic container is much less fun than holding a cone!

I read the sign by the front door at Peachwave. It explains how the the lactobacteria in yogurt is good for your colon. After reading this information I realized that I should frequent this store at least two or three times a week (for the benefit of my colon). And, I suppose we can deduct the cost of the yogurt as a medical expense on our federal income taxes since it is a medical treatment of sorts. Save your receipts!!

We were there the other night. Looks like a nice place but NO CONES! I like my CONES! :sad:

I know I'm not a fan of the flavors they have at Ambrosia (orange creme etc.). It sounds like this place will be more to my liking:)

Russ - and here I thought I was the only one! The stuff at Ambrosia is lactose free (important for some) - but people seem to think it is also calorie free. Not really...

Anyway, I love frozen yogurt - usually with fruit added... and it is right in the hood.

If they don't have sugar free, ASK! Of the three houses at the end of our street, two of the three have one person who is diabetic... I would think that would have great potential for them.

They do have sugar free AND fat free, but couldn't find sugar free and fat free in the same yogurt.

One would believe that they would have at least one sugar free flavor, based on their market, and I am not afraid to ASK. As a matter fact I think that is just where I am headed as I sign off - need a haircut anyway.....

I'm with Chopper, I think it could be a medical issue so I also will need to go there at least 3 times a week !!!

We have been to Peachwave a couple of times since they opened and were very pleased. Talked to one of the co-owners and he said they have 16 daily flavors and do change them out occasionally as they also have some 40 seasonal flavors.

I guess Ollies will continue to be my choice, no sugar-free flavors around noon today, I did ask, said maybe next week. I spent many years in the military, traveled the world over and where ever I went to a Baskin Robbins, combat area, Hawaiian resort or wherever they always had at least one sugar free flavor, maybe not my preference but they had sugar free. Ollies does likewise.

We just made our first visit to Peachwave and it was a delicious adventure. The place was packed with people, all enjoying. I tried the coffee, peach, cheesecake and peanut butter...all were creamy, packed with flavor, and I ate every bit of my dessert. Gummy bears were the topping of choice, but there were many others you could select. We'll be back.

Went by last evening and it was packed. I think it was a good marketing decision to locate where they did. Right in the middle of the 2nd and 3rd construction phase.

Now if we can only get a gas station there that will stay open consistently.....and charge reasonable prices for their fuel.....we'll have it made!

:beer3:

I decided to buy a box of cones at Publix and use one each time I go to Peaches! :)

You're gonna put the cone on the scale?

Sure :) It will just be a little one!!!!

Peachwave...yum!
 

My wife Di, and I visited Peachwave on opening day. Their product is superior to HighFive and to the self-serve froz yog place in Mt. Dora (the only other place I've seen self-serve frozen yogurt).

They had some sugar-free the day we were there, but check the nutritional information on their product...it is not overly high in sugar.

Also, Mt Dora was 49 cents an ounce, HighFive is over 44 (I think), but Peachwave is 39 cents...Peachwave a better product at a better price IMO.

Based on all your excellent advice as soon as we arrived we made that one of our "To Do" stops. Was so pleased, they had to use one of those balance beam scales at the end of the line to weigh it. Girl Scout mint cookie chips!!!!!!! Was a little sad that they didn't have the hot chocolate syrup machine but they dried my tears and said that one was on order. I'll be going back each night to check:a20:

Mmmmm....combination of coconut and pineapple yogurt with fresh pineapple pieces and chocolate syrup...Mmmmm
Tasted like a pina colada!

I was hoping for the same thing as I like hot fudge. Glad they're getting one in. :BigApplause:

John

BEERY??? Really? Do they use lactobacillus Budweiser?:highfive:

I am JUST teasing you. I hit the wrong button all of the time...or maybe it was the right button.:throwtomatoes:

Maybe you know what Russ likes in a yogurt.

I'm game - but make it a Sam Adams please.

Hot fudge
 

Just got back from Peachwave. Hot Fudge was working tonight. Everything was fresh and filled. Even had Sugar Free tonight. FYI grand Opening is Tuesday. Free stuff..

Yup
 

Makes perfect sense to me! I will have to do so also, and hubby has IBS>>> He is in like flint.:BigApplause:

Wow Skip we must have just missed you. I continued my nightly duties of checking on the new machine and sure enough, as promised it was there and ready for a couple of good squirts. Also had dinner at Ci Ci's pizza buffet:yuck: prior to the Peachwave treat and will be back to Peachwave often but one and done for Ci Ci's.

Peachwave is SOOO good! I gotta figure out how not to pop in there every time I go to Publix.
