FroyoWorld Celebrates Grand Opening In New Haven Today

The designer yogurt craze continues - just in time for the new school year.

FroyoWorld, a self-serve frozen yogurt lounge, opened earlier this month in New Haven's Chapel District. The store celebrates its grand opening today with an 11 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony. Guests will receive free T-shirts, while supplies last.

FroyoWorld offers six daily, rotating varieties of nonfat and lowfat yogurt, along with dairy-free sorbets. Among the more indulgent options: cake batter, red velvet, white chocolate macadamia and snickerdoodle. Pinkberry fans will appreciate the "tart" yogurt selections, in flavors like original, green tea and pomegranate raspberry.

Complete your treat with more than 45 choices of toppings - fresh fruits, candies, cookies, crumbled baked goods, nuts, syrups and whipped cream. Orders are priced by weight at 49 cents per ounce.

FroyoWorld states that its yogurt is all-natural, with no artificial colors or flavoring. The yogurt contains probiotics, live active cultures that boost digestive tract health.

And it seems Yale students are already pumped about the sweet new addition to their community. A posting on the Daily News website Friday announced, "Your summer is over. FroyoWorld is the new Toad's."

FroyoWorld is at 46 High Street in New Haven. Open 7 days a week, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. 203-777-4040, froyoworld.com
