Road trip: Louisville's Ce Fiore

Hours:
Monday - Thursday 12 - 10
Friday - Saturday 12 - 11
Sunday 10:30 - 10 (these hours defy logic)

1500 Bardstown Rd #G
Louisville, KY
(502) 458-8679



Topping selection was narrower than most Pinkberry-style shops, but the fruit they did have was really fresh.

Decor was very similar to Pinkberry's, what with the Phillipe Stark Victoria Ghost chairs, but the sleekness factor was lessened somewhat by the abundance of signs everywhere. Over-signage: a personal pet peeve of mine.




Ce Fiore's soft serve has not been given the official Yogurt Seal of Approval. Hence the following conversation:

Me: "I'm getting an ice cream headache from this. Uh, I mean a frozen yogurt headache."

My companion: "No, you mean an Italian Frozen Delight headache."

The yogurt itself was quick-melting and had a strong chemical/dairy aftertaste. Since it's Louisville's only tart frozen yogurt option at this point, it will suffice, but it doesn't warrant a long drive if you don't live there.

I have to say, I adore you for posting this. I got into the new tart froyo craze in 2007 when I had an internship in SoCal. I ended up ADDICTED to the original Yogurtland. I'm heading home to Louisville for spring break next week and thought I'd check and see if we'd gotten a place locally yet. To my surprise, your blog confirmed we had! I'll come back and update you on this place after my break. Even if it isn't the most fab place ever, it's so much better than none at all (which are my current options in Roanoke, VA).
