Bryan’s family is from Southern California, so every Christmas we get the privilege of enjoying a week of sunshine before returning to snow-piled-high Boston for the rest of the winter.
The past several Christmases, we never failed to seek out and visit (multiple times) the nearest Pinkberry we could find (usually about 7 miles away). Although I’ve tried many other frozen yogurt places, for some reason I have always liked Pinkberry the best.
Perhaps it’s the bright, crisp yogurt flavor or the high quality of their fresh cut fruit. Whatever the reason, I always looked forward to Pinkberry as a treat – a once a year indulgence during my annual holiday trek out to California.
Imagine my sheer excitement when I found out that Pinkberry was finally coming to Boston! Not only that, a location just opened up right in Harvard Square a couple weeks ago.
Of course I was super excited when I found out the great news. Better yet, I had the wonderful privilege of attending the launch party, where frozen yogurt flowed and flowed. I’ve always been a fan of the plain yogurt (I actually most prefer it without any toppings! yes, call me boring, but I’m a purist). At times I’ll venture out and get mochi or kiwi topping, which I like quite a bit as well. 
Unlike me, most people love toppings, and the norm is to try several. You can be healthy and pick between a huge variety of fresh cut fruit. Or, if you prefer, there’s no shortage of candy, crushed cookies, or various types of cereal from which to choose.
Mochi, pomegranate, and mango
I tried their new parfait, which mixes yogurt with granola and fruit. I have always been a huge fan of normal yogurt parfait, so of course I enjoyed this unique Pinkberry version.
Pinkberry was also introducing Lychee, their newest flavor. Although I thought it was pretty good, I still stand by the plain yogurt as my all-time favorite flavor.My friend actually thought the lychee was too tart and much preferred the plain yogurt which, ironically, was labeled as “tart.”
All in all, I totally think Harvard Square can support several more ice cream/frozen yogurt places (still mourning the loss of my favorite ice cream place from Harvard Square). The more the merrier!
Welcome to the neighborhood Pinkberry!!!

i loveeee frozen yogurt topped with fresh fruits. 🙂
So happy that you now have your very own Pinkberry nearby! We love fro-yo – and mochi and lychee jelly are my go-to toppings 🙂
My husband and I just went there yesterday! I’ve had Pinkberry a bunch of times in LA and just thought we would check it out since it just opened. In SF they have the dispense-your-own stores and we like those a lot more!
Ha ha, that place has been packed every time I’ve walked by. Yeah, I’ve tried the dispense-your-own ones in CA. Those are fun too. 🙂
Oooh, I don’t think I’ve sen lychee jelly here. Love mochi though!
haha it’s so strange that others get excited about pinkberry b/c I DO live in socal and I see them everywhere 😛 these pictures are so pretty <33
Frozen yogurt has become somewhat of a fad. Even with all those other yogurt places, Pinkberry still seems to hold its own.
Sounds yummy. I have read about Pinkberry for quite a while now, but never had the pleasure of trying them…Yet.
It it great you have one nearby! Now you can occasionally satisfy your ice cream craving in a more healthful way.
I wasn’t introduced to Pinkberry until I moved to New York, and I absolutely love the stuff. I’m so happy the weather is getting nicer so I can treat myself every now and then!
It’s hilarious –all the yogurt chains have finally come to Boston. I just tried Red Mango (Mass Ave & Huntington) yesterday.
Do you like Pinkberry the best? Berryline is good too.
Pink Berry is okay – but I still prefer Berryline. I’m with you on preferring the plain yogurt flavor in general (I often taste the rotating flavors at Berryline but always end up getting the original), but I think the Berryline version was better … the Pinkberry one was a little too tart.
