This June, Aggie Yogurt, a new frozen yogurt shop, opened its doors to the Davis community with a celebration at 425 2nd St. The store, which promises a fresh take on frozen yogurt, has gained attention for its combination of unique flavors and a strong commitment to sustainability.
Aggie Yogurt aims to be “your ultimate destination for fresh, creamy and delicious yogurt creations,” according to their website. This tagline reflects the shop’s approach of offering customers a highly customizable experience. “The vibrant and inviting shop offers a delightful array of new flavors, from Cookie Monster to Wild Strawberry, all made with the finest ingredients,” their description reads.
The store, which prides itself on catering to a broad spectrum of dietary needs, features options for every preference. From dairy-free and gluten-free selections to low-sugar alternatives, Aggie Yogurt ensures that anyone can enjoy its frozen treats. Customers can personalize their yogurt with a wide variety of over 32 toppings, including granola, berries, nuts and sauces.
Aggie Yogurt also sets itself apart by emphasizing eco-friendly practices. The shop uses compostable cups and utensils, and it offers discounts to customers who bring their own reusable containers, helping reduce single-use plastic waste.
Aggie Yogurt is the third frozen yogurt store to open in downtown Davis, joining longtime favorites Cultivé and Yoloberry. The frozen yogurt scene has been popular in Davis for over a decade, with both Cultivé and Yoloberry establishing themselves as staples for local families, students and visitors. Aggie Yogurt hopes to stand out by offering not only new flavor combinations but also a modern, sustainability-focused business model that resonates with the environmentally conscious population of Davis.
The shop’s opening also marks the fifth addition to the downtown area’s growing list of ice cream and novelty dessert shops, which includes Baskin-Robbins, Davis Creamery and Sweet and Shavery. With increased competition in the frozen dessert market, Aggie Yogurt is banking on its unique and eco-friendly mission to attract a loyal customer base.
Aggie Yogurt plans to continue its community outreach with special events and promotions throughout the year. The store has already announced plans to host a series of themed yogurt nights, where customers can try limited-time seasonal flavors and participate in yogurt-making workshops. To celebrate its opening, the shop has also scheduled various promotions for the month of September, offering discounts and free toppings for loyalty members.
