My friend Cammie was down a few days ago. I can’t tell you guys how much I love this chick. But anyhoo, she knows how much I love sweets so she asks me, “hey have you been to Yami Yogurt at the mall? They have really good yogurt. I was like, “Yami Yogurt? No, and how is it possible that you been there already and I haven’t.” So the next day I was like ,”baby grab your keys we have to go some where, like now.” At first it was a bit hard to find since it was on the side of the mall that we’re never at, across from the food court on the other side.

I got a small grape flavored yogurt, $3.02. The prince was really weird to me; why not $3.00 or $3.05 but whatever. The cup was really small and since Ray and I were sharing I was a bit weary that it wouldn’t be enough. This cup was like seriously, 8oz but as you can see they filled it up quite nicely. The yogurt reminded me of the hello kitty candy I use to buy when I was a little girl. It was sweet, juicy, light and creamy. If you ever had candy from the hello kitty store, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. They do have toppings too, lots of it but I didn’t take note of the price. I’ve had a lot of soft serve here on the island, from TCBY, Fiore, to DQ and in my opinion Yami’s is the best so far.

If you can read Japanese this shirt is pretty funny.

I don’t see a lot of TCBY’s anymore. Back in California there use to be quite a few, but then they started dropping like flies. I remember when I was a little girl my older sister, Lana would take Me and our little sister to the TCBY in Merced. I was a sugar whore back then too, difference is I had to rely on other people to pay my way. Well, times have change and these days I could afford to take myself to TCBY. Lets just say I’m a balla on a budget. On this particular day I happen to have little sis with me so it brought me great joy to rekindle old childhood memories with her.

The inside of TCBY.

As you can see it’s not a bad size for an ice cream shop

I got vanilla flavor in a small size, $269 with health toffee topping, .85 for two scoops. Their smalls are a generous size. One is plenty for one and perfect for two. Also, for .85 for two small scoops of topping is a nice deal. I can’t tell you how many times I just wish they would just be a little bit more generous with the toppings at other creameries. I didn’t feel that way here. The vanilla was smooth, refreshing and a just the right base for the toffee. I was really happy with my treat and so was little sis.

Not skimpy on the toppings at all.

But just so you guys know, the water fountain is out of order.

Also, if you want an employee’s phone number, don’t call and ask for it, they won’t give it to you. Instead just come inside and get it yourself. It’s right there behind the counter for anyone who wants it. * The owner of TCBY hit me up, and ask that I take off his employee’s phone numbers from my site. I debated for awhile, but since I’m such a nice person I decided to blur out their numbers. You’re welcome.

My little sis is goofy.

I am a whore of many kinds, amongst a few are shaved ice, condiments, and acai bowls. Anytime I see acai bowls I will instantly become a whore for her sweet sweet love.
Robeks, to me, is like Jamba Juice’s retarded brother; it’s like they’re trying to be as hip and cool as Jamba but somehow it just not happening.

As for the acai bowl, I ordered the Super Acai Bowl, a “blend of 7 oz of Acai, apple juice, bananas, topped with fresh banana slices and organic granola.” It was good, but not what I had expected. Just like with shaved ice, texture and consistency is crucial. If it’s too runny, as it was at Lanikai, then you mine as well toss the utensils out the window and pick up a straw. The acai bowls at Robeks were complete opposite, instead of being too running, they were too thick, so thick that to me it was more like frozen sorbet with granola on it. I seriously had to use a little force just to shovel some up. Now, like I said, it wasn’t bad, actually it was rather tasty, just not what I was expecting.

The bowl didn’t come with honey to top but when I asked for it, the lady behind the counter gladly gave it to me, a generous amount at no additional charge.

Another thing I like about this place is that they have the nutritional information on the back of their to go menus. The only other places that I know of that does this is Jamba Juice and Sub Way.
In conclusion, The Health Bar still wins the “Best Acai Bowl Award,” Although, however orgasmic their acai bowls are, I still refuse to go there; waiting 45 minutes for a smoothie is fucking ridiculous. I wouldn’t doubt if their cute little servers are more talented at the art of fellatio than at the art of blending.
Rebeks is the perfect treat on a hot humid day. Since their acai bowls are super hard and frozen, it’s very likely that it will remain delightfully cold to the very last bite.
