Dallas frozen yogurt meltdown: Cocoberry in Richardson

by Teresa Gubbins

Opened: September 2009

Profile: Small self-serve place in Richardson took over space that was previously occupied by Lollicup, a vendor of last-year's-fad, bubble tea.

Ambiance: Not nearly as "designed" as some of its peers, Cocoberry has a low-key utilitarian feeling, with more stainless steel and not too much of that tiny ceramic tile that's a fro-yo-shop trademark. Decor is an odd melange, with high white plastic chairs sharing space with '50s-style hanging lamps and more generic tables and chairs. A flat-screen TV hangs in a corner of the room.

In addition to yogurt, they also do espresso drinks, teas (including bubble tea), and smoothies, and have a refrigerated case filled with nice-looking French-style pastries.

Utensils: One size paper cup, and regular pink plastic spoons.

Price: 35 cents per ounce, pretty reasonable price.

Yogurt: Three machines, six flavors. This being somewhat of an Asian neighborhood, there is almost always green tea on one of the machines, and there is occasionally an additional tart flavor in addition to the "original (or plain) tart".

Verdict: Recommend. Selection limited but good; not too expensive; and yay for someone willing to open east of US 75.
