Do you ever find yourself wishing you could make what you want, just how you want it at the price you want it? Now you can. Spoons Yogurt offers a product that is “made by the customer for the customer,” as General Manager and Aggie grad, Logan Prewett, described it.

Choose from a varying selection of twelve yogurts as a base, add toppings to your hearts content, and then pay by the weight. You get exactly the amount to satisfy your craving.

Spoons offers twelve of its twenty or so flavored yogurts each day. Options range from Pineapple Tart, a silky dream that really taste like fresh pineapple, to Peanut Butter and Cake Batter. Cookies and Cream is understandably popular with its bold flavor and satisfyingly sweet finish. Top it off with some peanut butter chips to make it just right.

The Cappuccino flavor is overwhelming at first, but don’t give up on it too quickly. Take a few more bites and discover a truly decadent treat. It’s fat free but is every bit as delicious as coffee ice cream. Pumpkin Pie yogurt offers all the ambrosial joys of a favorite holiday treat but this frozen variation is perfect for the local weather. Refreshing and light, Pistachio is an excellent choice with its slightly sweet flavor that is pleasantly well balanced.

Over 35 toppings and several great sauces will make your yogurt selection complete. A variety of fresh fruits go well with almost any flavor as well as the plentiful selection of cereals, nuts, and candies. The Original Tart yogurt and sweet berries pair nicely with a caramel or chocolate sauce. Blueberry yogurt and white chocolate chips are also a great compliment. Simply mix and match and go wild until you find your perfect combination.

The atmosphere at Spoons is contemporary and upbeat with comfortable translucent orange chairs, blue tiled accent walls and trendy, enjoyable music emanating at a noticeable but not overwhelming volume. A portion of the white walls display the talent of local artists that will be rotated occasionally. The restaurant has been open less that two weeks so busy hours are still sporadic and unpredictable. Spoons Yogurt takes pride in their community involvement through the profit shares it holds weekly. Spoons is conveniently located between Firehouse Subs and Muldoon’s Coffee House on Texas.
