Eskimix

I first tried Eskimix in August and was reminded of it's goodness Monday afternoon when I received my daily TrendCentral newsletter. Eskimix takes the frozen yogurt trend to the next level by blending your choice of four different yogurt bases with a variety of toppings and/or boosters.

Yogurt flavors include Tart Frozen Yogurt (similar to Pinkberry's Original), Vanilla Frozen Yogurt, Dairy-Free Frozen Tofu and Sugar-Free Frozen Yogurt. There is a wide variety of toppings to chose from in 3 categories: Fruit, Candy and "Everything Else." I knew I wanted a fruit topping but found it hard to chose from mango, blackberries, strawberries and more. Other toppings included Butterfinger, M&M's, Twix, Honey, Nuts, Peanut Butter and more. Check out their menu HERE.
Eskimix also has a list of pre-designed mixes to help make decision making a bit easier.

My only disappointment during my Eskimix visit is that since everything is custom blended you can not try any of the flavors before placing your order.
Eskimix is only located in NYC on Bleecker between Grove and Christopher Streets.

Tutto Tutti

Rated by LAist.com as the best Frozen Yogurt in LA I just new I had to try it. A friend and I visited the creamery this past Friday and to our surprised we both loved the Double Wonder- sea salt and caramel, sounds gross/weird but it's actually really good, tastes more like vanilla than salt or caramel. The Super Bee flavor that LAist mentioned, with ginseng and honey, was too gingery for our taste.
As LAist mentions, the yogurt is organic and all the toppings are homemade. My swirl of Double Wonder was topped with the raspberry-basalmic sauce which complimented the salted sweet taste of the yogurt perfectly.

The servers at Tutto Tutti are super nice and don't mind letting you try any flavor you'd like. So out of curiosity I tried almost all of them! Their 6 flavors include: Virgin (plain), White Velvet (vanilla), Seven (with seven grains blended into the yogurt), Freckle Snow White (plain layered with black sesame seeds), Double Wonder and Super Bee.

Tutto Tutti is located at 6803 Melrose Avenue at the corner of Mansfield.

Sundaes and Cones

After having dinner at The House and champagne at FLUTE my friend and I walked to Sundaes and Cones (10th St. near 3rd Ave.) where we had some fabulous ice cream!
With tons of flavors to try- some organic, some sugar free, and even soft serve frozen yogurt- it was hard to choose but I finally went with the fat free raspberry soft serve and the cookies n' cream ice cream. It was so good- creamy and smooth, just the way homemade ice cream should taste. I wasn't brave enough to taste the truly unique flavors like ginger, red bean or lychee even though they are recommended by Gothamist. A perfect way to end a casual night out in NYC.

Pinkberry

After work this evening I met a friend to try the famous Pinkberry!This is the place to get "real" frozen yogurt and delicious toppings from fruit like mangoes and kiwi to cereal and nuts. The frozen treat boutique sells only two only two flavors, original and green tea (I didn't get to taste the green tea because it wasn't working). YumSugar's taste tester said it was terrible and too sour but I liked it, the first bite was a bit sour but once I added fruit to the bit of yogurt it was very tasty!
