Sara's full firsthand review

Service was super awkward, cold, and dry. Just as the cutting cold winds that passed through the door on that chilly night. The drinks are just okay here. Simple yogurt based drinks. Creamy and mellow flavored. I prefer my yogurt drinks with a bit more of a sharp, tart flavor. Almost lemony (Mediterranean style). Their yogurt reminded me of Australian style yogurt, creamy, light, but without any zest to it. The dragon fruit flavors did not really shine through the yogurt. The fruit might not have been in season. I did enjoy the yogurt and oats drink. Although a bit more flavor in it would have been nice. It was simple and not too sweet as I had lowered the sweetness level. I was amused by the menu and was wondering if I could add fruit to my oat drink, that should definitely be an option. In regards to the menu, they did not break it down for me. Again. Awkward. These cold yogurt based drinks are great after eating a spicy meal. Acid reflux and indigestion completely float away when sipping on a cold lactic based bevvie from Yomies. I wasn't able to finish my bevvie, threw it into the fridge and tried it the next day thinking it would taste like overnight oats. But the next day, the yogurt separated a bit and did not taste good. LOL. Oopsies. Will I be back? Maybe. Service definitely needs to be improved.
