    There are few dessert-oriented eateries in the Westfield Garden State Plaza mall (with dedicated sit-down space), especially on a Sunday. My husband and I were craving a spot of something sweet, so we came in here in search of a light bite. Adding toppings is where it's hardest for me to exercise restraint. It's a chance for me to load up the cheesecake bites, heath bar crunchies, gummy bears, rainbow sprinkles, and then called it healthy because it's frozen yogurt and because it's got some fruit. All those toppings can start to ring up the cost of your unhinged choices because everything is totaled by weight. On the plus side, there's plenty of seats, and even some spillover seating inside the mall. It also seems like there's something for everything along the wall of flavors. Dairy-free for vegans, oatly flavors for those allergic to soy, sugar-free for the diabetic, and Dubai chocolate for the fad chasers. The guy at the front was nice enough to grab us a few samples. We got to try the new taro pie, vanilla, and Oreo but to me, most of them tasted really artificial with an ice shardey texture. We ended up going with the original yogurt flavor since it's our typical order, but this was far from the best execution of it because this, too, had the texture of wet slush.

    They expect you to tip on self serve service and they say have a horrible day if you do not. Beware.

    This was the worst acai bowl I've ever had. It was overly sweet and had a weird flavor. I couldn't finish even half of it.
