Family Friendly Favorites
A self-serve frozen yogurt shop that Bay Ridge uses as a customizable, reliably sweet reset—pick a base, pile toppings, pay by weight, and you’re out. The best cups stay balanced: one tart flavor, one creamy flavor, then fruit or one crunch topping to finish.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tart Frozen Yogurt + Fresh Fruit, Cookies & Cream Frozen Yogurt, Mango Sorbet-Style Froyo
