A Little Piece of Heaven in Tampa Bay

Heaven = Yogurtology. My friend and co-worker, Becca, has been raving about this place for weeks, probably months. Today, Madison and I finally got a wild hair to go and check it out.

When you walk in, it seems like a very unassuming place. A few tables, some chairs and along one wall, a few spigots that dispense yogurt. Don’t be fooled, these spigots dispense pure deliciousness. There are about 10 or 12 of said spigots that release flavors like Cookies and Cream, Red Velvet Cake, Oatmeal Cookie, Pistachio, Peanut Butter and Cheesecake. Clearly that’s not all they have, but I forgot to remember the ones I wasn’t interested in. That’s why you should take a trip over for yourself.

How does it work, you ask? Get yourself in there, pick-up a container or small bucket, from the looks of it, and fill it to your heart’s delight.


Fill it with the yogurt(s) of your choosing and finish it of with the hodgepodgery of toppings – candies of all kinds, sauces, nuts, and fruit – and bottoms – cake pieces, brownies and cookies, if you’re so inclined. The combinations are endless.

Beware: By filling up that bucket, you are agreeing to pay by the ounce, but it’s only $0.49 an ounce! Plus, this stuff is good for you. Based on a 4oz serving, the most expensive, calorically speaking, is 179 calories for the Ultimate Peanut Butter. A justified, sensible dessert or meal.

In a brief wave of self-control, I had a little of the Pistachio and Oatmeal Cookie with a sprinkle of pecans. It was happiness in my mouth. Both flavors tasted just like what they were called. It’s not like some other places that serve that sour tasting yogurt and propose that you put fruit on it to help make it taste better. Guess what? It doesn’t. Madison had a little of the Cookies and Cream with I Heart NY Cheesecake sprinkled with chunks of Reese’s Cup.  We were both please with our selections and look forward to getting some more of that!
