Remember how I was like Pinkberry sucks? After hearing endless accolades from my friends, I had to give it another go. My friend Eddie said I had gone wrong by trying the green tea. I had to go original. With mochi.
And I did. And you know what? I was wrong. It's good. I mean, it's refreshing. And the soft mochi topping is inspired. I just wanted to dismiss it because it was the adopted sweet of all those plastic L.A. bots I can't stand. (Omigod, Pinkberry is like, so good? Will you hold my chihuahua while I get my Uggs on?)
Which is not to say I would choose it over Shake Shack's frozen custard with the pie of the day. Even though I probably should.
Anyway, my apologies to Pinkberry for talking smack before I really gave it a go. You're quite good, and I was quite wrong. You have a cute logo. You're kind of expensive, but you wouldn't charge that much if people weren't willing to pay. I'll probably patronize your establishment. At least until I can figure out if Red Mango is any good.
Can I just go on the record supporting the original "original" plain flavored frozen yogurt, to be had at Bloomingdale's 40 Carrots? They've been serving it since the 1970s with melba sauce, wheat germ, dry walnuts... the virtuous topping of your choice, and they never get any cred.
Those LA bots can make anything unappetizing, can't blame you... but good to give it a 2nd shot. I am not sure if they have Pinkberry in south OC, but I'm sure it will get here soon enough.
Not everyone in L.A. is like that, just a select few......

I know not all L.A. people are like that. I'm from L.A. originally. I have friends in L.A. But I don't miss a certain type of L.A. woman.
