Berri Good

Berri Good is a new chalav yisrael, frozen yogurt place on Robertson that is run by 2 nice Israeli guys. They seem to have modeled themselves after the non-kosher asian yogurt chain called “Pink Berry”. Their fro-yo is not what you would be accustomed to if you ever ate at Toppers or TCBY (I have never been to either of those places, I’ve only heard…). Rather then taste like soft serve ice cream, this stuff actually tastes like yogurt that is slightly sweet and has a hint of lemon flavor. They have a slew of toppings including many fresh fruit ones such as pomegranate seeds, blueberries, pineapple, strawberries, etc. It is a healthy, refreshing treat that will be appreciated by women or others who like yogurt. Regardless of what the Israeli will tell you, it is not for kids. They will throw it on the ground and start screaming for Carvel. Personally, I’ll take the fat free, chemical loaded (how else does it get so creamy???) vanilla soft serve at Carvel. My wife will be going to Berri Good.
They also offer a make-your-own-salad concept like Circa and a make-your-own-sandwich like… I don’t know. Skip it. Go to Circa and come here for desert if you want. Their salad choices are weak, the bottled dressings are bottled dressings (someone needs to tell them that Walden Farms Blue Cheese dressing is NOT chalav yisrael) and the sandwich idea the guy gave me - mozzarella, avocado, hard boiled egg and tuna, toasted panini style just sounded gross. Their whole-wheat baguettes are good but that’s about it.
That’s it for now.

Berri Good is certified by the RCC. You can visit their website at http://www.berrigood.com/

BTW, my wife is totally addicted to the yogurt (she sent me the last 2 nights in a row to get her some) and apparently so is Leonardo DiCaprio! He has been there about 12 times including last night prior to the Grammys.

Not sure how credible you are being that last night was the Golden Globes not the Grammy's.
