Less than Parfait: Yo-Reka!
January 19, 2010 at 3:12 pm
When we first caught wind that 1920 Commons was hopping on the fro-yo bandwagon with the new Yo-Reka!, we were stoked. On-campus and bursar-able? Sign us up.
That's why we were a little taken aback when our favorite sweet treat equation (fro-yo+fun toppings=deliciousness) was seriously abused.Sure, at first glance it's a lot like Sprinkles—self-serve, you pay by the ounce, sweet toppings—but the yogurt isn't frozen. Not cool.
Basically, they've poured a few basic flavors of Stoneyfield yogurt into the self-serve display. It's a DIY-parfait with interesting sounding granola (hempseed, anyone?) that's barely a step up from the things they serve upstairs at Commons. Our only consolation was that Oikos greek yogurt made it on the menu.
More photos and deets after the jump.
While it's an upgrade from Hershey's (really, did anyone ever go there?), we now know why last Wednesday's grand opening was nothing like the sorority-fueled craze we saw when Sprinkles first opened. Hey, at least it's a little bit closer to the good old days when we still had Jamba Juice.
