While the frozen yogurt trend may have slowed, there are, fortunately for us, some local spots that still dish it out. Plus, yogurt is filled with live cultures and probiotics, so frozen yogurt — depending what you top it with — can be a fairly healthy sweet treat, especially if you opt for a no-added sugar flavor that many of these ten local frozen yogurt shops offer.
Ready to cool off with a cup of fro-yo? Here’s where to find it.
Whirled Peace

Yosl’s Frozen Yogurt

What: Serving delicious and refreshing frozen yogurt from a Kosher-certified shop, Yosl’s might be one of the most dietary restriction-friendly fro-yo shops around.

Oh, and did we mention that they offer customizable fro-yo cakes?
