Frozen yogurt is officially back—and it’s smarter, creamier and more Instagrammable than ever. Today's top spots mix nostalgia with innovation, swapping diet culture for indulgence. What once read as a “better-for-you” dessert now feels like an everyday treat, whether it’s a post-dinner stop or a regular pick-me-up. Many of the strongest players are clustered in major cities—primarily New York City and Miami—with others drawing loyal followings just outside urban centers like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver and Washington, D.C. From legacy institutions to newer, design-forward shops, here are the best frozen-yogurt spots in the U.S.
Froglanders Crepes & Yogurt
La Jolla and Carlsbad Village, CA
With locations in La Jolla and Carlsbad Village, Froglanders has long been part of San Diego’s frozen-yogurt fabric. The yogurt runs creamy rather than tart, with dependable favorites like Ghirardelli Chocolate, Vanilla Kiss and Salted-Caramel Pretzel anchoring the machines. Seasonal flavors rotate through regularly. A flat pricing model—no weighing cups—encourages generous builds. The toppings bar is classic and expansive, stocked with fruit, candy, cookie crumbles, nuts and multiple hot sauces. Vegan and dairy-free yogurts plus fruit sorbets are always available.
Mimi’s
Lower Manhattan, NYC
Founded by Australian partners Amber and Saul, Mimi’s is a small shop with a café-like layout and limited seating that regularly draws long lines. The fro-yo is made in-house using non-fat Greek yogurt, skim milk and cane sugar, resulting in a mild, smooth base. Core flavors include vanilla bean, Guittard chocolate, ceremonial-grade matcha sourced from Japan and fruit flavors made with real purées like Oregon raspberry and Alphonso mango from India. There is no self-serve toppings bar; customization is limited by design to a curated selection, including seasonal fruit from Natoora, Medjool dates, pistachio sauce from Italy, Swedish candy and baked goods like cookie dough and brownies.
Myka
Miami Beach, FL
First founded in Madrid, Myka opened its U.S. flagship on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach in December 2025. The frozen treat is dense and tangy, featuring yogurt imported weekly from Greece. From there, it's blended with kefir and pasteurized milk to create a high-protein, probiotic-forward product with no artificial additives. In addition to the classic Greek frozen yogurt, you'll also find rotating seasonal flavors and fruit sorbets. More than 30 toppings are available, including honey, nuts, fruit compotes, pistachio crumble and the brand’s acclaimed baklava.
Meli
Miami Shores, FL

Meli keeps its frozen-yogurt menu intentionally limited. The shop typically offers two flavors at a time: a no–added-sugar tart base and a rotating option such as hazelnut or matcha (“natcha”). Toppings are few and controlled, including sliced fruit, honey, pavlova-style crumble and pistachio kataifi. Portions are carefully swirled, resulting in clean, well-defined cups. Seating is minimal, with a small indoor seating area, so most customers take their frozen treats to go.
The Bigg Chill
Los Angeles, CA

Nearly four decades in, The Bigg Chill remains one of Los Angeles’ most recognizable frozen-yogurt institutions and a longtime celebrity favorite. The flavor lineup is extensive, rotating through options like Ghirardelli Chocolate, Vanilla Classic, Honey Greek, Peanut Butter, Salted Caramel and fruit blends such as Chill Berry. Service is counter-based rather than self-serve. Toppings are extensive but familiar, and the overall format has changed little over time.
Yoga-urt
Glendale, Echo Park, Santa Monica and Granada Hills, CA
Yoga-urt makes its plant-based frozen yogurt fresh daily across locations in Glendale, Echo Park, Santa Monica and Granada Hills. The yogurt is produced from scratch using hand-squeezed almond milk, organic ingredients and added probiotics. About six flavors are available for swirling at a time, drawn from a larger rotation that includes Chocolate Bliss, Salted Caramel Zen, Peanut Butter Prana and Pistachio Passion, plus seasonal offerings like Lavender Blossom or Pumpkin Spice. Waffle cones, cookies and pie crusts are made in-house using upcycled almond pulp.
Easy Breezy
San Francisco, CA

Easy Breezy’s casual self-serve format belies a more distinctive flavor range. Original Tart (nonfat, no sugar added) shares space with custards and vegan options such as Coffee Custard made with decaf fair-trade coffee, Pandan yogurt, Queen Tahini made with cashew milk and sesame and Basil Lime made with coconut milk and fresh herbs. It’s built for speed and familiarity, the kind of place people return to without overthinking.
Buddhaberry
Sag Harbor and Southampton, NY; expanding to West Palm Beach, FL
In Sag Harbor and Southampton, Buddhaberry functions as a high-volume Hamptons staple, with expansion planned for West Palm Beach. The yogurt base leans moderately tart and supports a wide-ranging lineup that includes Natural Tart, Madagascar Vanilla, Triple Belgian Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Cold Brew, Classic Mint Chocolate Chip, Sweet Coconut and Valencia Orange. Rotating blends like Caramel Sea Salt Pretzel and Buddha’s Best Berry keep the menu moving. The setup is designed for heavy seasonal traffic and maximal customization.

Littleton, CO

Roughly 15 miles outside Denver, Nella’s runs 16 frozen-yogurt flavors at a time. House staples—Classic Chocolate, Va-nella, Cake Batter, Cookies & Cream and Peanut Butter—anchor the machines, while the rest rotate regularly. Options span nonfat, low-fat, dairy-free, gluten-free and no–sugar-added categories, with flavors like Pistachio, Dulce de Leche, Sweet Coconut and Coffee appearing often. The emphasis stays on flexibility and repeat visits.
Iceberry
Arlington, VA
Iceberry offers a straightforward self-serve frozen-yogurt experience in a clean, modern setting near Washington, DC. The flavor lineup typically includes Original, Chocolate, Strawberry, Peach Mango and Taro, with variations depending on location. Smoothies and slushies expand the menu beyond frozen yogurt. The approach is efficient and familiar, designed to work just as well for a quick stop as a longer visit.
PHAROS
Miami, FL

At PHAROS, frozen Greek yogurt takes precedence over American-style fro-yo. Made fresh in-house, the yogurt is dense and tangy, positioned as a lower-sugar alternative to ice cream. Plain Tart, Greek Honey and Chocolate form the core lineup, supported by three rotating seasonal flavors. The format favors customization and consistency, appealing to customers who want structure without excess.
