There's a separate counter for smoothies and Yagoot. No need to take a number.
A Gootest ("largest") cup of yogurt (12 oz.) with two toppings ran $6.45 or so. This is pricier than any other sour frozen yogurt I have run across. And, uh, the toppings were pretty skimpy.
The yogurt itself? Very sweet and sour at the same time. It's clear that they aren't using the same yogurt powder that Pinkberry (and most of its knockoffs) use. I'm guessing it's real yogurt instead, because it assulted my senses with dairy overload. It was actually quite similar to the attempts (using my ice cream maker and strained plain yogurt) at replication at home. The after-taste hinted of lemon juice.
The texture was much different too - creamier, less icy, and fast-melting. It didn't hold its "soft serve" shape very long.
If you've never had Pinkberry, give Yagoot a shot but realize it's not really similar. If you've had Pinkberry, Yagoot will probably fall short of your expectations.
P.S. My husband (who has never had Pinkberry) loved it.

I tried yagoot at Busken's HP location. I agree, it was kinda soft. I would have preferred it more firm/stiff. Toppings were fresh, but a bit skimp.
Well, they've solved both those probs over at the official Yagoot store in Rookwood Commons...the yogurt is firm and delicious. Amazing how the whole taste and experience changes with the 'stiffness' of the yogurt. Sweet euro-vibe in the store too~! Check it.
I just got back from the Yagoot at Rookwood Commons at it was great. I have had Pinkberry in California and loved the sweet and tangy taste and thought that it measured up pretty well. I would have loved to try more of the toppings but the price didn't agree with my tastebuds, but the yogurt chip, kiwi on plain was divine!! I highly recommend it!!
