"It's not frozen yogurt. It's Yogorino."
The Web site for the award-winning alternative weekly, the Philadelphia City Paper.
"It's not frozen yogurt. It's Yogorino."
That's how owner Cata Raisbeck describes the product at her new corner shop, which soft-opened on July 4 on the corner of 20th and Locust (267-639-5287). The Yogorino brand, founded in Italy in 1994, has locations in sexy locales like Dubai, Milan, Madrid, Ibiza and Seoul, but we've got the very first standalone operation in the U.S. right here in Rittenhouse. The shop will be open today until 10 p.m. today before closing from Tuesday to Thursday to handle final preparations for a grand opening event Friday or Saturday. (Regular hours will be 8 to 10, with late-night hours on weekend� nights.)
Raisbeck, who was born in Colombia and came to Philly on account of her husband studying at Wharton, first encountered Yogorino while studying abroad in Italy in 2000. The tart, single-flavor yogurt is made from all-natural, organic ingredients and milk, with no high fructose corn syrup, and Raisbeck's exploring the option of sourcing from a local dairy farmer. There are quite a few toppings (fresh-cut fruit, nuts, cereals, candies, sprinkles) as well as a rotating lineup of 15 different Italian sauces, including bitter chocolate, dulce de leche and pistachio. Raisbeck also touts the six probiotic strands � that "good" bacteria that makes yogurt healthful � inherent in the stuff. Four sizes, with prices topping out at $6 for a large. Raisbeck promises expanded menu offerings in the coming months.
It's so delicious! Best thing to hit Rittenhouse in a long time.

I'm a big fan of fro-yo and decided to check out Yogorino yesterday. I thought the yogurt was delicious, but was not happy with the price and the plastic (bad for the environment)cups that make you seem like you are getting more than you actually are. I'm choosing Sweet Ending over Yogorino.
Anonymous: For what it's worth, I'm told the plastic cups used by Yogorino are made from a corn starch-based biodegradable material.
Just visited Sweet Green in D.C. this weekend. By far the best frozen yogurt I've ever had (same deal, one flavor, fresh toppings...Green certified restaurant). I'm curious to see if this will hold up!
visited the franchize exhibition today in beijing, and tried yogorino. Really tasted good and planning to franchise the brand, but the fee seems high. Anyone in changchun, china would like to franchise the brand could contact me for coorporation at 8613500886052. Thanks.
