Yolo Berry Yogurt serves six different flavors of Dannon frozen yogurt and 101 toppings to go with them. Both the yogurt and the toppings are self-serve and are charged for by weight, much like Yogurt Shack.

This is the third of a sequence of yogurt shops to open up in Davis in the past two years and is owned by a former manager (Lee) of Sudwerk. JoJo's Cafe was previously at this location.

2008-06-25 22:15:36 I think there should be some yogurt tasting comparisons when this place opens. I will not be a judge because I work at Yogurt Shack. Volunteers? —JackkiCox

2008-08-11 08:37:08 Does anyone know when this place is opening? —HDLee

2008-09-16 21:52:06 Mid October I believe —Vdavis

2008-10-18 15:30:02 They're open now. They have 101 toppings, and some innovative ones like apple pie filling. I got a mango sorbet/original tart mix with Heath Bar Crunch and coconut topping. Yum! Their yogurt is more creamy and less tart than Swirl, but I haven't been to Yogurt Shack, so I don't know how it compares to them. I'd definitely go here again! —MonicaWilliams

2008-10-19 10:03:50 This place is amazing. I went there yesterday, which was their first complete day open and I love it! I'll be back on a regular basis. Also, the owners are soooooo nice and friendly. They have a ton of flavors and more to come. All of their yogurts are top quality and their toppings are really creative. Two thumbs up! You'll be seeing me there —AppleBlossom

2008-10-22 23:05:26 Took the kids there the other day... very good "creamy" yogurt. Better than Yogurt Shack in my opinion, but different than Swirls/Cultive. Lots of choices for toppings, and good overall value too. Best Mochi toppings by far... owner says they were made fresh, and you can taste the quality. I would recommend it to those looking for sweet creamy yogurt. My kids loved it. —Aaron.Curtin

2008-10-24 12:51:40 Very creamy and delicous yogurt!! They have an awesome variety of toppings. Also the owners are very friendly, makes for a very comfortable environment. Will definately be going back. —AngelaGerould

2008-10-24 22:59:36 this is the new yogurt joint. Its kind of in a wierd location but good thing i spotted it. Was really great, the best thing was the toppings. I love the flavored mochi balls. THey are delicious. Also their yogurt is def. not ice cream like some other place in davis "hint hint" but it was so good. and on top of everything the price is realll cheap! check this joint out. —thizzling

2008-10-25 15:22:09 I tried Yolo Berry out for the first time yesterday, and it was delicious! I appreciate places that have the tart and the more traditional fro yo, since I am not a big fan of the tart. Their yogurt is really creamy. They have a great selection of toppings and my husband loves that they have cookie chunks. —AmLin

2008-10-29 17:57:55 I went in a week ago and enjoyed a delicious cheesecake yogurt topped with fruit. Delicious! In my opinion better than the Yogurt Shack. —Magster

2008-10-29 21:10:18 I went here recently and it was really good. They had a good variety of flavors (pumpkin and cookies and creme were memorable), but what really impressed me with their selection. I really loved the apple pie filling on my yogurt, which was warm and went really well with it. I was really pleasantly surprised with the mochi they had. Their selection is a lot more than Yogurt Shack, which used to be my favorite dessert place in Davis, but I'm definitely going here now. The yogurt was also noticeably cheaper than what I was used to paying. —JaimeG

2008-10-29 23:29:39 Yolo Berry is the cheapest yogurt join in town, has more toppings than the other two, multiple kinds of mochi, a gift card that has a better dollar for dollar value than the stamp cards at the other two, and is super convenient if one is at Farmer's Market. Winner: Yolo Berry Yogurt! —MichaelAWoods

2008-11-03 20:11:51 Sooo good! Best yogurt place in town! An insane amount of toppings, and really well priced. Plus the owners are always there and they are really nice. —Selby

2008-11-03 20:59:59 love the pie filling, mochi, and chocolate syrup toppings. If you are a health nut, they still have plenty of fruit toppings. —justinhu

2008-11-05 16:59:10 I work at Yogurt Shack. I'm not going to say anything mean about yoloberry but there are a few things I would like to comment on. First Yoloberry uses YOCREAM brand yogurt. We use that brand for most of our flavors. Second it is only 1 penny cheaper so you are only saving 16 cents a pound. —JackkiCox

In response to JackkiCox's comment about Yolo Berry only being a little bit cheaper, it seems that her comment is a little imprecise. Yogurt Shack has a two tiered pricing structure (depending on which toppings you want) and therefore an individual yogurt there may be more expensive than she claims. Yolo Berry toppings are all one price. —Etherington

I don't think the more expensive 'bulk candy' at Yogurt Shack is meant to be used as a topping. It's just candy you can buy and have bagged separately. If toppings weren't all the same price, it would be difficult to figure out how much to charge. —JonathanLawton

2008-11-11 14:41:28 I think Yolo Berry is by far the best frozen yogurt place in Davis. Their toppings and yogurt are superior to those at Yogurt Shack and they have great fresh fruit like the place formerly known as Swirl. I think the service is excellent and I get to make my yogurt just the way I like it. I'm so happy this place opened in Davis. —Etherington

2008-11-12 11:28:38 I tried yolo berry last night later, Blew me a way. The original tart yogurt was the one I settled on, it has great tartness, the peach was a little lighter but I wanted something with teeth. Then after skipping past all the candy toppings I hit the back wall, and once again went nuts. Hardshell (even though I passed on that one), multiple different flavors of pie filling, cherry, peach, apple! They had berry sauces, and fresh fruit / cheescake! I talked with the owner and even though he takes a hit on the fresh fruit it is still worth it on general principal to him. That is major, major points. Good atmosphere and cheerful employees. Watch out Swirl... —StevenDaubert

2008-11-12 16:40:58 Fortuitous circumstances prompted me to try this place last night. I highly recommend this place. I'm not normally a yogurt person, but it is absolutely delicious. i second StevenDaubert's comments. I had exactly the same thing he did. And the owner is deeply concerned about providing the highest quality of service and ingredients to his customers—regardless of cost. Also, the yogurt has "live cultures". He even has the permit handy. —CurlyGirl26

2008-11-12 22:12:38 Pretty good, enjoyed the yogurt with all my stuff in it. I like that you can chose what size cup you wish to fill, and that candy is the same price as everything else. The mochi and the pie filings are different and quite good, and I didn't try any but there are a lot of sauces. I like this place, nice atmosphere and good yogurt. I think that it's a matter of personal preference or possibly location between Yolo Berry and Yogurt Shack. This place measures up about the same (I'd have a hard time choosing between the two. Pie filling pulls me to Yolo Berry.) —ChristyMarsden

2008-11-12 22:58:17 I really like the tarty-ness in the yogurt (tasted like Swirl/Cultive's— which I also really like). Question: if Yogurt Shack uses the same yogurt, how come theirs usually taste sweeter? Do they add sugar? —geezlouisexyz

Dannon provides a wide selection of yogurt varieties. It's kind of like wine: each type has a distinct flavor. They may use the same supplier but different yogurt.

2008-11-16 14:21:08 I just love this place. It's all the good things about Swirl/Cultivé and Yogurt Shack combined (good yogurt + self-serve/cheap). Before coming here, Swirl was my favorite yogurt place because the yogurt at Yogurt Shack was always super disappointing and fake-tasting. But now that Yolo Berry gives me a self-serve option and has tasty, creamy yogurt like Swirl, I can't say no. The Peanut Butter and New York Cheesecake flavors are personally my favorite, though the tart flavor is delicious too. So glad this place is here!

Also, I talked to one of the owners last weekend, and he said that come Spring, they'll have an outdoor seating area. —WinButler

2008-11-16 14:58:25 I like this place, but I will still keep going to Yogurt Shack. The flavor is not too different, the latter uses the biodegradable spoons and cups. —jsg718

2008-11-17 08:20:28 After my 2nd trip here yesterday, I am convinced this will probably be the only place I'll go for yogurt anymore. I even like it better than Big Spoon, which I always rated higher than Yougrt Shack. Better tasting yogurt, more topping choices, and definitely seems cheaper than anywhere else to me. It would be great if we could get a Yolo Berry in Woodland...we are yogurtless over here!! —AmLin

2008-11-17 13:04:43 I for one am interested in the patio, apparently they want to do some minor music venue type stuff as well! —StevenDaubert

2008-11-20 17:46:38 In response to JSG718's comment about going to Yogurt Shack over yoloberry because of the biodegradable spoons and cups. I agree that having those is a great idea. But did you notice that when you're down with your eco friendly spoons and cups they go into the general trash? So they're not actually getting recycled. —SarahDavidson

2008-11-21 13:32:25 Yogurt Shack's cups and spoons can only be composted. We have yet to find a source that can handle the amount of cups and spoons we use. If you or a friend has a composting pile or any information on composting in Davis we would love to talk to you. Also we always encourage our customers to bring in their own container to cut back on waste. —JackkiCox

When customers bring in their own containers, do you tare the scale? Also, have you contacted Project Compost on campus? I went to one of their worm composting workshops once and they seemed pretty serious in general about composting! —JonathanLawton

2008-11-21 22:09:14 Yolo Berry is the best in town! Love walking to the park after filling up on delicious fresh fruit! —NinasStudio

2008-12-03 19:47:55 Hello everyone! I just stopped by today b/c I was craving for yogurt & finally decided to try this place... I usually go to YOGURT SHACK for their yogurts.

Overall, the place is decent & I do agree that YOLO BERRY is less pricey compared to the other yogurt places in town. Personally, I prefer YOGURT SHACK b/c they have a bigger selection of crunchy nuts & fruits which I like but they are a little more expensive. I haven't tried Swirls yet so I can't compare the difference there. I usually don't like to add any sort of sweet treats or at least a MINIMAL amount of treats to my yogurt & I thought there weren't many selections that I like. Some choices I noticed that weren't in YOGURT SHACK like the different pie fillings, saucy syrups, fruit mochi, etc...I am sure lots of customers like it but I know I won't put it in my yogurt. They have most of the choices YOUGURT SHACK has like gummy bears, oreo cookies, chocolate sprinkles, smashed candy bars, etc... again I don't like having too many sweet treats in my yogurt but it was nice to see the huge selection YOLO BERRY has to offer. I enjoyed the yogurt I bought but I like the flavors @ YOGURT SHACK more. Other than that, this is a good spot for a snack with friends or an alternative yogurt stop & their yogurt favors are pretty tasty & rich( TART flavor is very popular). —AlyceeLeung
