Pinkberry in Ambleside

Pinkberry Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato It reminds me of Yogen Fruz – white clean background with bright fresh colours and with a minimalist look.
There was a small lineup. When it was my turn, the young girl behind the counter looked zoned out – looking out the window, oblivious to her environment. I looked back at Sheepie and shrugged. I waited in front of her as she continued to either ignore me or daydream.

idearabbit-pinkberry2I got a Fresh Fruit Bowl (parfait) $4.75 with 130 calories. The menu is simple, but a bit confusing. It would have been nice to have the heading ‘Yogurt Flavours’ at the top. The first ‘flavour’ is green tea, with a photo of a clear glass of green tea. I immediately took that column as a ‘drink’ section and didn’t even think about the rest. The rest seemed to be photos of ‘toppings’, so I didn’t carefully check.
Many of their yogurt keeps nutrition and health in check. Some flavours are non-fat, gluten-free, indicates that it is a good source of calcium with live and active cultures. Some are even dairy-free. Check to see on their website if the flavour you like or want falls into these categories.
None of the topping looked appealing to me – that’s just me, I didn’t want artificial processed stuff (other than the yogurt), so I skipped the sprinkles, nuts (allergic), fruit loops, gummies and so on and moved straight to the fruits. I asked if I could have a bit of each fruit, and she said you usually only get 3 types, but she said she’d give me all, maybe because I didn’t choose any toppings. There were fresh blueberries, chopped up watermelon, strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, and small balls with looked like tapioca.

The interior is modern, clean and fresh. Unfortunately, it was Oct, and with the doors open out to the patio, it was pretty chilly inside. Even more after eating the frozen yogurt! Tastes pretty good, fair prices, and lots of selections. I’d advise though, to go during the summer season! Will be back next year when the weather is hot.
