Frozen Yoghurt, or Froyo (didn’t you know?) is a soft-serve style yoghurt treat that’s a little healthier than ice cream, and 100 per cent as tasty. Check out our top picks fuelling her froyo addiction this summer.
Red Spoon
Red Spoon is the perfect example of how simplicity rules over creativity. Choose from four different flavours like panacotta, mixed berries, lemon cheesecake and good ol’ natural, or buy a tub of your favourite from behind the counter.
We’re eating: Sometimes the original is the best – the creaminess of Red Spoon’s Natural frozen yoghurt combines perfectly with a crunchy choc nut sauce. Yum!
Berryme
Come for the yoghurt and stay for the egg chairs and quirky interior. Berryme, located next to the Karawara shops opposite Curtin University, boasts a funky layout of astro turf, giant hanging egg chairs and bright pink stools. The froyo comes with a funky pink spoon and take-away lids are available. It’s perfect for an after exam treat, or post-study hang out.
We’re eating: A tub of the New York cheesecake or hazelnut, or try a combo of natural and strawberry, topped up with lychee popping balls that burst in your mouth.
Tutti Frutti
The world-dominating Tutti Frutti franchise has almost every corner of Perth covered, with stores in Leederville, Mount Lawley, Victoria Park and a gigantic offering in Freo. Their endless array of flavours are categorised into Cream, Sorbet and Soy, and cover everything from fruit and peanut butter, to cake and salted caramel. Dress up in your PJs on selected nights, and you might just get a cup for free.
We’re eating: For a refreshingly tangy hit you can’t go past Tutti Frutti’s passion this summer, or if you’re feeling a little more tropical, try their coconut flavour. Need something more indulgent? It’s hard to resist the store’s salted caramel.
Whisk Creamery
Run by two handsome Italians that’ll charm the pants off your girlfriend and give your boyfriend a run for his money, Whisk presents a mix of creamy gelatos and frozen yoghurt, along with some naughty and nice toppings. The boys make the gelato and froyo fresh to order, exactly the way Nona’s Nona used to make it.
We’re eating: For a healthy option –well, kind of – you can’t go wrong with the plain frozen yogurt topped with crunchy cacao nibs, and for a foodgasm of extraordinary proportions, try the creamy hazelnut.
3 Jars Full
Tucked away in the Freo Markets is a delectable little froyo shop with its own homemade granola and tasty dessert jars. Three Jars Full uses a froyo base and add 100 per cent fresh fruit into the mix. The flavours are changed every now and then, but you’re almost guaranteed to be impressed with each fruity serving. Also on offer are gluten and dairy free banana and blueberry loafs, breakfast chia pots and organic Karma Cola drinks.
We’re eating: We love their strawberry flavour, which tastes incredible with fresh strawberries piled on top.
