The newest entry in Austin’s frozen treat sweepstakes is Yogoberry. Entrepreneur Pyeong Kim took over an abandoned paleteria location early this year and created a new business selling low-fat frozen yogurt. The comfortable shop is tucked into the 515 Center at the corner of Riverside and South Congress, next to a very busy Freebirds World Burrito outlet. Yogoberry offers two flavors of low-fat frozen yogurt every day, with an array of toppings that includes several varieties of fresh fruit, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, cookie crumbs, and an assortment of cereal brands. The medium strawberry yogurt topped with mango, bananas, and strawberries ($5.29) really hit the spot on a blistering hot afternoon last week. Check out the sign on the wall detailing 10 healthy aspects of frozen yogurt to make yourself feel virtuous about indulging in this frosty treat. The shop is cool and quiet with free Wi-Fi – I’m wondering why a little gem like this isn’t packed.
