Pinkberry!

[AllyOops!]

Is anybody as addicted as I am?

Usually, I'm a total loner when it comes to super-trendy places that create a circus of hype. Krispy Kreme? I'll never understand you. I'm not a fan of doughnuts, but once in a blue moon when I do try one? It's Winchells or independent shops all the way. In-N-Out? You do have tasty burgers I suppose, and I would choose you before any other drive-thru burger, but not enough to justify that endless line that wraps around the block at all hours. I'm not a burger fan, but Bob's Big Boy has one kick-ass burger. What is it that I don't "get" about these places? I feel left out.

Pinkberry, however, is amazing. Simple, bare bones and completely heavenly! They serve only two flavors, original & green tea. The original has a slightly sour sweet taste (almost like Knudsen vanilla yogurt). The fruit toppings are incredible. My blueberries were so plump and sweet! They would burst on my tongue! Their fruit is like candy. It's as if you have assorted Jolly Ranchers topping your yogurt.

Mmm...I want it for dinner. Has anybody else tried Pinkberry? My late best friend's niece works at one and tells me that she has customers who don't necessarily love the taste, but still admit they can't get enough. (I'm waiting for the inevitable nay-sayers who will post that it's overpriced & sucks like nobody's business.The Board wouldn't be the same without you. )

And for your viewing pleasure..

I've never been to Pinkberry ... but I am the most excited, because a brand new one is opening mere footsteps from my office. If I become addicted, I will be able to feed my Jones whenever I want.


Heheh, it's opening a few doors down from a brand new Pink Taco restaurant. Thanks to a thread here a while back, I'll never be able to think of that name as innocuously as I once did ... but they've got great Mexican food and fantastic margaritas.

We should have a New Pink Swanking in Century City sometime soon.


Oh, maybe the day of the Pink Martini concert! We can have lunch at Pink Taco, desert at Pinkberry, and suppertime picnic and music at the Pink Martini Hollywood Bowl show!


Um, perfection doesn't come more perfect than that!!

Oooh!!! Can I come? Can I wear pink???? That's so up my alley (or rather, "ally")!

You'll love it, iSm! Please let me know what you think!

I've been a pinkberry fan since the 1/2 hour lines in the ONE ORIGNAL LOCATION in West Hollywood. There's a whole story about that which is pretty fascinating:

The Taste that Launched A Thousand Parking Tickets (LA times article)

Now there are a bunch so, less lines. There's one walking distance from my office (in Koreatown, of course!). Yes, it rocks rocks rocks. We get it at least once a week (usually more like twice a week). It's deeeeelicious!

Although there's all this debate about what it really is . I still think they need a commercial with a white background a la the mac ads, having "real" people guess what Pinkberry is, and right in the middle Charleton Heston says "PINKBERRY IS PEOPLE!!!!!!!" Now that's some frozen bliss right there.

I've never heard of it before, but I am soooo down with trying some!

Erica, there's one down the street. We'll go after lunch!

[AllyOops!]

I'm off to Pinkberry tonight! I'm really torn between an original with fruit or trying the shaved ice:

[blueerica]
