Master Critic Review
Forever Yogurt (Niles)
7.9
A self-serve frozen yogurt setup in the Village Crossing area that works best as a clean, customizable dessert stop. The smartest play is one tart lane plus one creamy lane and a restrained topping strategy so the cup stays balanced instead of candy-heavy.
