I'm pretty tough on the recent slew of froyo shops that have opened especially because I don't believe that many of these shops have a reason to exist. Cherry on Top is one of them. Although I'm very critical, I still do give other shops credit such as Orangi-yo and YoMama's decent rating (just in case some people think I don't give nice reviews). So on to this one...Cherry on Top is a chain from California. I have a love for Yogurtland and Pinkberry which are both big chains in the U.S. an
Cherry on Top is a chain from California. I have a love for Yogurtland and Pinkberry which are both big chains in the U.S. and California is where they started so I'm familiar with Cherry On Top chain (in California) even before it came to Hong Kong. Now I'm not sure what happens to some of these chains when they mix their yogurt in HK, is the milk or yogurt fresh? I suspect they are using powder because it's not the same taste nor texture. Anyone else who's tasted in California care to comment? It's WAY better there.
Oh, I almost forgot to take a photo before I finished it. And actually I got over $25 worth, but I was surprised it was SO expensive even though there's so little. Cherry on Top is similar to another yogurt shop here that likes to confuse customers by giving the price by ounce (oz) not by grams. So when I did my metric conversion, this place comes out more expensive. Back to the yogurt...
So that's all that was in my cup after a couple spoon scoops. now you see why not only is this not worth it, but I found the yogurt icy, almost tasteLESS and melted pretty fast in some of the machines I tried. Again, there's a major issue with the staff not taking care of their machines. The yogurt came out watery in one. I tried the original tart, lychee and another one that was so unmemorable I don't actually remember it now (was it coconut?). toppings were not impressive, quite a small selection and unattractive looking. And there was an older man at cash register. perhaps around 40+? I assume he was the owner? Well, I was quite upset because I saw that the customer in front of me got a chop card. When it came to me, I got nothing. I kind of waited too, and they gave me nothing. That is really sad service, hope he's got someone else training his staff. there's no where to sit down so I stood nearby the shop for at least 5 - 10 minutes and there were no customers while I stood outside. i would say that the product, service and management need to improve before anyone starts coming regularly. And just one YoMama or Crumbs moving in nearby will pretty much close this shop down. Pretty sad considering Cherry On Top is one of the better shop in the US., can't say the same for Hong Kong.
