    This place always smells intensely of cleaning liquid and bleach. It feels weird for the froyo to be constantly exposed to such intense chemicals. I also worry about whether the food and food prep comes in contact with this cleaning liquid. They had kept the bottle of liquid (spray) right next to the napkins. I don't know why such a heavy dose of cleaning is required.

    I’m celiac and lactose intolerant. I like that they have good options for me. The oatmilk-based yogurt is very good. I’ve been going there since they stopped using Oatly, which I boycott (BDS). Good choices for toppings too.

    The frozen yogurt was nice, but everything, especially the floor was sticky, and it was pretty expensive.
