Carroll's Cup -- Mix, Weigh, Pay!!

The future is now!  Self-serve frozen yogurt is now available in downtown Rochester in a big way.  An offshoot of the long-established and fantastic (yet still somewhat invisible) Carroll’s Corn in the Kahler Subway, Carroll’s Cup welcomes you to “Mix, Weigh and Pay.”

Featuring about ten classic and modern yogurt flavors, an abundance of buffet-style fruit, candy and other salty & sweet toppings, the set-up is simple: walk in, grab a cup & spoon, serve your own favorite yogurts from the dispensers on the wall (mixing in as many and whatever flavors you like), load up your toppings, drop your dish on the scale and hand over your sweet moo-la.

 Say "Hi" to John behind the counter.  Some Wednesdays, he may invite you to guess the price of your Fro-Yo (as it’s determined by per ounce pricing); if your guess is within 5 cents of the actual cost, your treat is free. 







I am partial to New York cheesecake on a bed of classic chocolate yogurt, topped with M&Ms, brownie chips, Reese’s chunks, and hot fudge.   Scott prefers plain vanilla, with cookie dough and Heath stuff.  Chris was a big fan of the Peanut Butter yogurt loaded with Butterfingers, Twix, Reese’s peanut butter cups and Heath bar. There’s a lot of fruit in the toppings buffet and it looks really fresh – we just aren’t very healthy.
