Out of all the recent health food and diet trends, none has been as successful as frozen yogurt. “Froyo,” as it is sometimes called, has swept the nation, including Iowa City. More than four stores are open now or will be opening soon in the Iowa City area. With all of the froyo buzz, one might not know which store was the best option. So to help, the West Side Story went out to see which frozen yogurt store was truly superior.

-
- The frozen yogurt at Yotopia was by far the best- thick and flavorful. They also have more than 50 toppings to add to your delectable froyo. Overall Taste: A+

- The atmosphere at Orange Leaf was great. The staff was friendly, and, in additon to the traditional stool and table seating, they offered several couches which gave the store a relaxed feel.
