**Recommendation: n/a

Blueberry World is never really busy, but most their traffic is by locals or people living in the neighborhood.


It’s a bit cheaper than the other frozen yogurt places but the cups are small and shallow so you don’t get as many toppings as you would with Tuttimelon or Qoola. The toppings are also limited and they don’t have as many options like mochi, or different nuts/cereals. The amount of toppings depends on who’s doing it…usually the case.


What I do like is that they offer twist and not many places do that, Tuttimelon offers half and half where they put the flavours side by side – but not twist. It’s not my first time at Blueberry World and it isn’t my first choice, but more of a “last resort, and I’m in the area and I want frozen yogurt choice”. This was my dessert after Santouka Ramen across the street…see – close by.


FYI the large size is extremely big! That has more value than small size.


On the table:

Original & Green Tea Twist 3/6

  • Small: $3.50 Medium $4.50 Large $6.75
  • Toppings: 1 topping: $0.95, 3 toppings: $1.50
  • I got it with granola, just because I like the crunchiness.
  • Compared to most places they don’t offer as many toppings.
  • The green tea isn’t as tart as Qoola or Tuttimelon, but it is still tart and has more green tea flavour.
  • The original flavour is quite tart, but not as tart as Qoola.
  • I like the twist.This small size was significantly bigger than the other smalls I've had in the past! Maybe I was having a good hair day? j/k! =p

Original 2.5/6

  • Small: $2.75 Medium $3.75 Large $5.75
  • Toppings: 1 topping: $0.95, 3 toppings: $1.50
  • Mangoes, coconut jelly, blueberries
  • Original flavour is tart – it’s very icy yogurt and when it melts it melts like water.

Green Tea 3/6

  • Small: $3.50 Medium $4.50 Large $6.75
  • Toppings: 1 topping: $0.95, 3 toppings: $1.50
  • Kiwi, strawberry, pineapple
  • Green tea is sweeter than original – still tart. More green tea flavour than Quoola or Tuttimelon.
  • Very icy yogurt – not the creamy thicker kind.
  • Significantly more expensive than original flavour.

  1. Honestly, Blueberry World has been the worst froyo experience I've had ever. Not sure how they can compete with places like Qoola, Tuttimelon and so on...

  2. really? Is there a story behind it? Why was it so bad? Besides limited selection and small cups I find the flavour not too far off from others.
