das is goot

Have you tried Yagoot? (Sorry, I can't figure out how to do the umlauts) I tried it when they were first testing it at Buskens, but hadn't really gone in and bought it like a regular customer, so I did last night--ordered a small with raspberries and granola. It's as good as I've been remembering, and just as good as pinkberry, which is so big in L.A. It's light, very milky, with a pleasant tang. It melts easily into a consistency that indicates its made out of real ingredients, not a lot of emulsifiers and so on. It wasn't quite frozen enough, though, a little soft.

Buskens is opening a freestanding Yagoot store in Rookwood Commons, in the former Maggie Moo's store. (on the P.F. Chang's side) Brian Busken told me that the freezing equipment in the store will be better, so it will freeze a little more stiff. In addition to the original flavor, which isn't exactly vanilla, they'll have coffee flavor. That sounds good. They're also serving that old yogurt "salad" they used to have in the cafes, with lettuce, fresh fruit, granola, coconut.

They hope to open in a few weeks. In the meantime, you can try it at the Hyde Park Busken. It's low-fat and good for you, so don't succumb to a Maysville while you're there.
