Update: One of Yeh!’s owners commented on Facebook stating that they offer different flavors every week and have in total 43 different flavors, so I guess it just happened that they didn’t have any fruit flavors when I passed by. I will make another visit and try out their crepes and waffles as well.
I’ve been hearing about this Yeh! Frozen Yogurt Cafe for the past few weeks now, so I decided to go check it out on Saturday. Yeh! is located in Kantari Beirut right next to Aziz shop. There’s no place to park in front of the shop so you have to give it to the valet or do what I did and head to the nearest parking which is right behind the building and a 4 minutes walk from the shop.
The place was half full when I went there and I decided to sit inside as it was too noisy outside. One of the waiters welcomed us, explained the concept briefly and asked if we wanted to try any of the flavors. Yeh! is a self-serve frozen yogurt concept where you fill up your cup with all the flavors available, then add all the toppings you want and then you pay for your “froyo” in weight. 1kg (everything combined) is priced at 46,000LL which is definitely not cheap.
I went to check out the different flavors and there were 8 available:
– Pineapple
– Cake Batter
– Nutella
– Oreo
– Lotus
– Original flavor
– Peanut butter
– Greek Honey
What caught my attention at first was that there were no fruit flavors except for the Pineapple. I looked up the website and there are tons of flavors there, so I’m guessing they will be bringing more flavors later on but they should have brought more than 1 fruit flavor in my opinion.
As for the flavors available, I loved the Oreo, Lotus, peanut butter and Nutella the most. Greek Honey was ok but I didn’t like cake batter. I added fruits mostly on top and ended up with 540g of yogurt which cost me around 25,000LL.
All in all, I am not big a fan of the self-service shops as you always end up putting more of one flavor by pressing a bit harder, and I remember having a bad experience with that at Yogen Fruz (which I didn’t like) at Le Mall Dbayyeh. Nevertheless, Yeh! flavors are quick good and it’s definitely worth a try if you are a frozen yogurt fan.
Is it better than Pinkberry?
I don’t think it’s fair to compare it at this point as most of Pinkberry’s flavors are fruity while Yeh! only had pineapple, but Pinkberry’s original and chocolate flavors are better than Yeh! and I still prefer Pinkberry’s concept to the self-serve one. Price-wise, they are both expensive.
