So I had heard about this place for a long time. Now I respect a good frozen yogurt as much as the next person, but to wait in line for like an hour was a bit much for me. When I saw they finally had opened locations other than the one in WeHo, I decided to give it a gander.
I can only say one thing...overrated. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but I certainly would not wait more than 10 minutes in line for it and it practically broke my bank account it was so pricey. I think this place is hot now, but its exapnding too much so the magic of "discovering" it will be gone. I remember Penguins Yogurt was hot in the 80's here in LA and now most of them have closed save for a few. Then in the 90's it was Krispy Kreme. Dare I say the parallel for the Oughties is Pinkberry? I dare.

Loves me some Pinkberry, but I agree, probably a fad food. I actually started a thread a few months ago about it, but no one had tried it yet. I live in WeHo and yeah...Pinkberry (and their imitators) are sprouting up all over the place, which will be good in the summer though, when it's hot as hell....and I won't have to stand in a 30 minute line for it's extreme icy-cold goodness.

It's all about the cupcake now.
Yummy Cupcakes in Burbank ($2.50 per homey and fluffy)or Sprinkles in Beverly Hills ($3.50 per and sleek and well designed). Both excellent, IMO.
Or oddly flavored ice cream/gelato. I like Scoops on the East side of Hollywood (Heliotrope at Melrose). $2 and Ty, the owner, is very generous with the samples.

You're right about Sprinkles. Its pretty amazing how much better it tastes than a normal cupcake. I can only imagine the amount of butter in the frosting though! I hear they are looking to expand beyond their current location from friends but I haven't seen anything to back it up yet.
In terms of simple yogurt, Im a big fan of this chain called Golden Spoon. I've been hitting it up all the time since they opened one by me in Torrance. Decent prices and good flavors.

Yeah, Golden Spoon is pretty tasty for "ice cream" type yogurt. I know that exact location you are talking about....funny, one night I was driving by there with a friend and the "S" on the sign was out, so it just read "Golden poon"...we LMAO'd all the way home about that. If I had had a camera with me, that pic would have been up on LGK that very same night.
Golden Spoon rocks. There aren't enough locations though. Used to have one really close when I lived in HB, and there was constantly a line out the door.
We're getting one in Chino Hills. I've never tried it, but for the price, I probably won't. I love Golden Spoon.
I'm so glad they opened a Golden Spoon in Walnut. It actually gives me a reason to pick up my wife from work. The only thing I hate about Golden Spoon is their menu changes daily. It always sucks when you crave their espresso's and they don't have it that day.

golden sppon is the greastest frozen yogurt around. so much better than anything ive ever had anywhere else- plus its always nice ot have friends working therer, since they give you the "family deal"
Golden Spoon and Pinkberry are both extremely tasty, yet very different. GS is like "Hmmm...I want some yogurt that tastes creamy & sweet like ice-cream"...and PB is like "Hmm...I want some yogurt that icey and tart and tastes like regular yogurt". You can't really compare the two. Just depends on your mood.
