Chiang Mai is having a yoghurt moment

What is it? 

If you think frozen yoghurt is just a sad substitute for ice cream, Rob’s Berry will prove you wrong. This spot leans fully into the healthy but still hits the sweet spot category, serving no-added-sugar froyo made through a slow process – each batch takes around three days to develop its smooth texture and balanced tang.

Why we love it

Expect more than just froyo cups. The menu is surprisingly stacked, with yogurt smoothies, bowls and indulgent-leaning flavours like Biscoff and rice barley that somehow still stay on the wholesome side. Keep it simple or pile on toppings depending on your mood. 

Time Out tip

Don’t miss the acai bowl with honeycomb and crunchy granola mix – perfect after a sweaty Chiang Mai afternoon.

6 Soi 7 Sirimungkalajarn Road. Open 9am-6pm

What is it?

A drinkable yogurt spot that focuses on smooth, probiotic-style yogurt drinks blended fresh to order, with a big emphasis on fresh seasonal fruit. Even the ‘0 percent sugar’ option tastes surprisingly good.

Why we love it

The menu leans heavily into fresh ingredients, so everything feels clean and naturally sweet rather than overly sugary. Blends like strawberry and avocado feel refreshing rather than heavy – exactly what you want when the Chiang Mai heat kicks in. Seasonal highlights also keep things interesting, so even if you come back often, there’s usually something new to try.

Time Out tip

Try the Pippo yogurt for a nostalgic hit. Anyone who grew up with those jelly cups will recognise the fruity sweetness right away – blended with yoghurt for balance, naturally. 

Multiple locations, including Chiang Mai Ram Hospital and Central Chiang Mai. Open 8.30am-6pm

What is it?

Yogurtory is the ultimate froyo playground for anyone who wants a little indulgence without overloading on sweetness. Think frozen yogurt with a DIY twist, letting you customise flavours, toppings and sauces to build your own froyo bowl.  Perfect for a quick cool-down or a sweet pick-me-up that still feels like you’re staying at least somewhat responsible.

Why we love it

It’s all about flexibility here. You can build your own cup with everything from fresh fruit to crunchy toppings and sauces, going as light or as indulgent as you want. The yoghurt itself stays smooth and not overly tangy, making it an easy crowd-pleaser.

Time Out tip

Go half fruit, half crunch – fresh berries for balance, granola or biscuit crumbs for texture. 

22/1 Soi Sai Num Phueng Sirimankalajan Road. Open 11am-10pm

What is it?

Yoguruto is the ultimate spot for drinkable Japanese-style yoghurt that’s never boring. You can customise sweetness across six levels, from zero sugar to fully sweet. There are also 18 mix-ins to choose from., from chewy vanilla sticky rice to playful honey konjac. Needless to say, every cup feels like a little edible adventure.

Why we love it

The drinks strike a perfect balance: creamy but not heavy, tangy but not overpowering. The flavours are also bright and soooo approachable – think fresh berries, vanilla bean or seasonal specials – and the toppings are thoughtfully chosen to complement, not clutter, the palate.

Time Out tip

Don’t miss the Midnight Sticky Rice Yogurt – yoghurt paired with vanilla sticky rice for a chewy, lightly sweet treat.And while you could go all out and pair it with lots of sweetness and a handful of toppings,, this one carries the magic all on its own.

Multiple locations including Central Chiang Mai and 290/106 Yang Noeng, Saraphi District. Open 10am-7pm 

What is it?

A homemade yogurt café where everything is made fresh on site, from smoothies to fruit-topped Greek yogurt bowls. While the creaminess is always a welcome treat, the lighter options are equally indulgent without feeling like you’re cheating on your New Year goals.

Why we love it

This is yoghurt done simply and well – everything is homemade and full of natural flavour. No processed mixes, no fuss – just fresh ingredients and a relaxed, cosy setting that adds to the charm, making it the perfect no-frills spot.

Time Out tip

Grab the fresh salad rolls alongside your yogurt. It turns this stop into an easy light meal.
