Yogurtland Bountiful


Yogurtland Bountiful is the new definition of awesome.  Ice cream spots had their day in the sun but those days have melted away.  Americans have a new favorite sweet-tooth-satisfier: yogurt.  Up until a couple of years ago, Bountiful didn't have a yogurt joint.  Now there are three.  Both Yogurt Stop and Orange Leaf serve delicious yogurt but the new darling in town may have what it takes to earn your loyalty.  


Yogurtland is located next to Cafe Rio and will most definitely benefit from the heavy traffic Cafe Rio brings to the area.  Yogurtland maintains a quaint feel while still providing sufficient space to find a table on crowded nights.  



The styling, like other yogurt places, is fresh, modern, and hip.  The vibe easily beats all of the other joints in Bountiful and is most closely rivaled by the hip Orange Leaf.  


What makes Yogurtland unique are its exquisite flavor choices.  Of course you have your traditional chocolates, vanillas, cheesecake, etc.  However, you also have some flavors you won't see at the other local yogurt places. 

Taro:  A sweet potato flavor.  Maybe not something you would want a whole cup of but a nice supplemental flavor.  


Almond Midnight Mocha: A very rich dark chocolate flavor with a light mocha taste.  I personally don't like the flavor of mocha and still enjoyed this one.  

Toasted Coconut:  If you love coconut, you will love this flavor.  It is very true to it's name and Nikki and I both liked it.


Pistachio: You can't go wrong here.  Not as good as a gelato Pistachio but still delicious. 


Pecans and Pralines:  It was the only sugar free option on the menu but was very sweet.  


Blue Lychee Bliss:  This is another flavor I haven't seen at the other yogurt places.  Lychee is a tropical and subtropical fruit found in China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.  This flavor may be an acquired taste for some. 


Cheesecake: This flavor is usually one of my favorites but was actually my least favorite flavor here at Yogurtland.  It didn't have a rich cheese taste and was a little bland.

Tart and Raspberry Tart:  These are the tangy yogurt flavors and two of my favorites.  


The price of the yogurt is comparable to other establishments.  The toppings are also very similar, with Lychee berries being a unique item other topping bars are lacking.  


The other awesome thing about Yogurtland are the hours.  It is open until midnight on Friday and Saturday!


On our return trip, Nikki and I took our mothers with us.  They both loved the yogurt as well.  If you haven't had a chance to try Yogurtland yet, get over there.  In my opinion, it is now serving Bountiful's best yogurt!
