BlueBerry: Frozen Yogurt on Robson

If you ever happen to visit downtown Vancouver [that's in Canada btw] and you happen to visit the upbeat Robson Street or you happen to live at the Riviera or you happen to be trekking home from one of the beaches, or maybe you just deserve something sweet yet healthy, wow what a run on sentence btw!, you have to visit Blueberry Frozen Yogurt.



I never really liked frozen yogurt, but yesterday was way too hot just to be accompanied by a lukewarm [ew, I know] double shot on ice. So we "thought" it was another one of those italian gelatos and we watched two girls walk out with a melange of different colors ontop of some white cream.

The inside of Blueberry is pastel washed, I don't quite remember of what hues, but this lazy, washed out color of orange and blue. I say I don't remember because I was captivated by the yogurt scooper's and the cashier girl's beaming grins. I walk up, mesmerized by the upbeat attitude of the store [odd too because there's was no music, just the chorus of people talking outside], and totally forget to check out the menu. I just ask for what the previous two ladies asked for and I get the VIP yogurt topping treatment.

You get three choices, of the size of the cup and if you aren't particularly in love with yogurt, choose the small size because they do like to pile the yogurt high. It ranges from 3-5 dollars for the yogurt in the cup and 99 cents for the first topping and I think 1.45 for each topping afterwards. I might but wrong on the extra toppings prices since I was too busy mentally questioning how Canadians plant giant blackberries.

Anyways as they assemble the blackberries ringing alonside the snow white yogurt, I walked to the bulletin board, probably the size of a placemat, and on it were extremely happy yogurt hoppers from all across the world. There were crazy Euro fans cheering for Spain and laid back tourists from Lakewood, California. [Cali should come claim their title for huge fruit].

The taste? Tart blackberries bursting in my mouth, dyeing my teeth violet, as the teeny bit sour yogurt smothers the rest of my mouth. Perfect, as the sun beat across my face.

They are as pricey as Italian gelato, but definitely more healthy, more Canadian, and more fruity. I know most people who visit Vancouver aren't necessarily looking for dairy products [but you must know we do have great cows.....], but who knows. Yogurt, as Blueberry makes it, is quite the charm.
