Sweet Treats Escapes
A simple Midtown frozen-yogurt stop that’s strongest when you treat it like a clean, quick cold fix rather than a destination dessert. Stick to one base flavor and one crunchy topping so the texture stays the point, not a sugary pile-on.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: No valet. Street parking is limited and competitive; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Very casual — everyday Midtown attire, jeans and sneakers are completely fine.
Noise level: Low — quiet enough for easy conversation, mostly solo diners and quick stops.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes at most, often no wait
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — all base flavors and standard toppings are vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited — usually one or two fruit-based or sorbet-style options depending on the day.
Gluten-free options: Mostly — frozen yogurt bases are gluten-free, but some toppings contain gluten and are stored together.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re keeping it ultra-casual. It’s quick, inexpensive, and low-pressure, but not a linger-or-impress kind of spot.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it’s counter service with limited seating, and reservations aren’t a thing here.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — very kid-friendly. Simple flavors, fast service, and a relaxed setup work well for short visits with kids.
Best For
Better for: Fast, inexpensive frozen yogurt when you want something cold and clean without lines or decision fatigue.
Skip if: You’re looking for craft ice cream, elaborate toppings, or a destination dessert experience — other scoop shops do that better.
