Anyone had tried this place?

I went this evening at 9pm and tried to see if its same based in Miami and I as quietly impressed, I paid 2.1 pounds for $113 peso equals almost $2.50USD, not bad. Nice place and very COLD AC and the place is quiet FULL.

I have attached some photos as well, enjoy:

I have never seen one of these in Miami. there are a couple in Broward County, I see.
Frogs and yogurt do not sound like a winning combination.
The center of operations appears to be in Richmond, VA. F R O G means Fully Rely On God. The founder appears to be a Korean American couple named Derek Cha and Anna Kim.

I think of the main think linking frogs and yogurt is sliminess. But perhaps the product is great, I will have to try it someday.

You can jazz up yoghurt all you want, but it still is not quite ice cream.
There is no Sweet Frog listed in Miami Dade County the website suggests that HQ is in Virginia. There are couple of shops in Broward County.

I've tried it, it's not bad, I'm not very enthusiastic about it, but I hardly eat ice-cream either. Sweetfrog in DR is from the owners of Bravo, Corripio has also a chain: PinkBerry.

went to some ice cream outfit in La Sirena, POP, and asked for a scoop, just to try the thing. one golfball, 100 pesos.

how do these boutique ice cream and yogurt guys stay in business? i know i will never buy from them again, when i can buy Helados Bon.

It is one thing to go to some small place and try something a guy has whomped up all by himself.It is another to go to a super-cutely franchise place and try something with an equally weird name. I would probably try your toad tea, but I doubt that I would try it from a place like this Sweet Frog joint. My guess is that you probably did not add xanthin gum or polyscorbic tetraethethylgriceride to it: with a franchise, you never know.

I know that if customer trial elicits a comment that a McBurger does not taste beefy enough, the company will add three more drops of Beefy Extract.

I do have to agree they are expensive considering we are in DR.

Bon is good too, i love the frozen yogurt there but for ice cream I prefer valentino even considering the prices.

i agree that the stuff is good, but not that good to warrant those prices.

Nice pics, thanks for taking the time to share.

Is this the place on Churchill up from the Metro bus depot?

It could easily take a couple of hours to snack on the yogurt in a relaxed sort of way and take in all the amazing froggie cutesiness of that place. Not to mention watching the customers. This sort of place in the DR can be a sort of fashion show for the local chics. All day they are cooking, chasing after the chiquitos and toting buckets of water about, dressed in franelas, chorts and chancletas, their hair in a tubi, and for several glorious hours they motoconcho down to the Heladeria in their finest clothes to see and be seen.

The owners of "Bravo" are devoted Christians.
They may have started this franchise after consulting their "Hearts" and not their "Heads".
I doubt it will survive.
No customers is a bad omen, even for "Believers"!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

I drive by the one on Churchill at all times of the day, It's "MT" when I do!

if you not aware, Bravo do have supermarkets in South Florida and they are not owned by Christians because they open 7 days week in FL but DR they closed on Sundays, I find it odd.

The Bravo down the street from me in Miami is open on Sundays. There are no supermarkets that close on Sundays. Publix closes on Christmas, Easter and New Years, but that is it.

Perhaps the managers in SD are more devout.

The only few stores that opens 365 days a year guaranteed is: 7-11, CVS and Walgreens.
