Yogofina Frozen Yogurt in Alameda

Since I hadn't had frozen yogurt since the pandemic started, when I spotted the Yogafina sign during a stroll down Park St. I was drawn to it. All in all the experience was OK, but not stellar by any stretch.  The inside was very dark and dank and felt somewhat offputting. But, I still wanted frozen yogurt. So, my better half and I grabbed a cup each and went to the dispensers.  That in itself was a little intimidating since you need to use a handle that probably many  others have used, so I used a napkin.  They do have hand sanitizer when you enter, but still, they need to come up with a contactless variation. (Just a couple weeks ago I contracted a short lived, but miserable, norovirus from just touching something, so I am extra aware now. Covid isn't the only thing lurking out there.) The combination mint and chocolate cookie I got was satisfying enough, but for two it came to $15.05, a bit pricey for all not that much. Service was nonchalant and indifferent... ok, I began giving it three stars but lowered it to two. Other than some satisfying frozen yogurt I doubt I'd go back.

I give this  place 5 stars for the yogurt taste but taking off 3  stars for  the  price and the fact that  in warmer months, flies are hanging  out on the spout where the yogurt comes out. Built in toppings! I noticed that on two separate occasions.  Also, really overpriced!  I have to wonder if they only use larger cups because they add more weight. At any rate, it is what it is and if I'm not able to put my cravings aside, I'll pay the price...in the cooler months!

I Love their yogurt flavors and toppings. They provide hand sanitizer for customers and they have multiple options for utensils. They accept card and cash and yes you can pay wirelessly with your card too.
