Sweet Treats Escapes
A frozen-yogurt-first shop built around speed, variety, and a straightforward topping-bar payoff. Best when you treat it like a clean, reliable dessert routine—one cup, one sauce direction, and a couple textures.
Must-Try Dishes:
Frozen yogurt cup (self-serve), Fruit-and-crunch topping combo, Frozen yogurt + drizzle (chocolate/caramel style build)

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking along Myrtle Ave; usually manageable during the day, tighter evenings and weekends.

Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes at peak hours; lines move quickly.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — all frozen yogurt bases and most toppings are vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited — usually one or two sorbet-style or dairy-free options depending on the day.
Gluten-free options: Partial — yogurt bases are typically gluten-free, but topping cross-contact is possible.
Best For
