7) Berry Line - Fro Yo - Arrow St., H Square - Yes, Pink Berry, the eternal CA summer loves you. And yes, Georgetown, the country's richest feast on alumni produced frozen yogurt.
But can someone please get it together for Harvard Square's alumni-run hole in the wall that has changed my life and staple dinner?
At 25 calories an oz for yogurt that does not taste like yogurt (and i mean that in the best way possible), this store is a treat! They sometimes come up with flavors like Nutella that promises to be fantastic but tastes like filth (ugh- I am re-tasting that small flavor cup right about now), but if you stick to the basics (original, passion fruit, xyzberry) and smile extra, they are generous with the dry toppings (chocolate, reeses peanut butter cups, walnuts, oreo) even if that sort of kills the point of the 25 calorie base.
Also, make sure you ask for a frequent froyo card for them to stamp - every 10 cups (any size) ~ free midsize + one topping. Tip for regulars : lure unsuspecting friends to the store, embellish at length the nature of the fro yo experience, get their stamp on your card while they take their time getting addicted.
Expect loooong lines. Tip to avoid lines - (a) go at odd hours of the afternoon (easier to get more toppings from friendly staff), (b) walk further to the lame Mass Ave outlet and get an extra topping as reward for the mile walked or (c) sell out and go to Herrells (apparently yum) to get some ice cream (ew) smoosh-in thingis that everyone seems to love or, worse, try their fro-yos (oh, just stand in line @ BL!).
