There are only 2 base flavors: original and green tea, both priced at $28 for a regular and $35 for a large, both including 1 topping; extra toppings are charged $5 each.
Topping choices change but there are 2 counters - one with fun and sugary toppings like granola, m&ms and other cereals; the other with fruits and more "natural" selections.
I ordered a green tea frozen yogurt (I have long been sucked into the green tea hype, and I've never tried a green tea frozen yogurt before); with nata de coco (the clear chewy cubes often found in fruit/slush desserts).
The disappointment was that the green tea flavor is very faint, almost nonexistent - but the frozen yogurt itself is just the expected taste - sweet for sure, with a bit of the yogurt-sourness. I cannot compare as I have not tasted the original froyo base from Yo Mama before, but having tried non-flavored frozen yogurt in other places, I think the "green tea" flavor doesn't make much of a difference.
Texture is creamy enough - average; not good nor bad.
About the size: judging visually a regular is about 7oz of frozen yogurt; about 2/3 cup - it's basically what you pay for.
Special note: it's a great hang out spot, providing a dining area is good for small parties and a stack of fashion and entertainment magazines. The bright and neat decor with its whole cutesy cow theme appeals to the its "youthful" target market.
