Go Greek Yogurt recently opened in Coconut Grove, right by the new Carbone Vino. The chain, which started in Beverly Hills in 2012 and has since expanded to several U.S. cities, is known for its frozen Greek yogurt and clean, Mediterranean aesthetic.
I went around 5 p.m. on a Tuesday and the shop was almost empty. There were one or two other people, no line and a calm, bright atmosphere. The space is simple and fresh, with white walls, blue accents and pink bougainvillea-style flowers that make it feel airy and coastal.
It’s self-serve, so you grab a cup, swirl your yogurt, add toppings and check out. The whole process took about five minutes.
I tried the Greek honey and original tart flavors, while my friend went for peanut butter and chocolate.
The yogurt itself was the highlight: smooth, rich and creamy, with a light tang that felt fresh without being too sour. The honey flavor had just the right sweetness and felt a little more elevated than a typical fro-yo chain.
Where it falls short is the price. My bowl came out to around $16, which is definitely on the high end. Maybe that’s because it’s Greek yogurt, which tends to be thicker and higher in protein, or maybe it’s just the newness of the location but still, it’s a lot for frozen yogurt.
The toppings were decent but not very exciting: granola, chocolate, fruit, yogurt pretzels and candy. I heard you can ask for pistachios, though I didn’t see them the day I went.
I wish they leaned more into the Greek sideThings like phyllo crumbles, honey drizzle, olive oil and sea salt or different nut butters would make it feel more unique.
Even so, Go Greek is a nice addition to the Grove. With its airy vibe and smooth, tangy yogurt, it’s the perfect stop after dinner or a walk around the neighborhood. Even though it’s a little pricey for every day, it’s absolutely worth a try.
I give it four out of five stars for taste, freshness and atmosphere. Point off for the price, but still a spot I’d go back to once in a while.
