I finally got to try the frozen yogurt at Forty Carrots Forty Carrots today! Thanks to everyone who recommended it, and reminding me (I need that); I enjoyed it. First though, I have to say, the service is pretty frazzled. We went to the to-go counter because it’s an $8 minimum per person to get sit-down service. I asked the counter clerk, what flavors does the frozen yogurt come in? He says, plain, strawberry, and coffee. I ask if I can have all three and we also order a lemonade. He disappears for long enough that roughly 4-5 people behind us got served and left. Then the frozen yogurt appears with plain, coffee, and chocolate. I didn’t really care but apparently they had 4 flavors, which he forgot, and he forgot which flavors he told me. The yogurt was over-flowing and melting all over everyone. People constantly rushed back to the counter complaining that it was dripping everywhere so it would be nice if they got bigger cups.
As for the frozen yogurt, the chocolate and coffee taste like soft-serve ice cream, no yogurt flavor at all, but enjoyable. The plain tastes like yogurt and has a wonderful rich mouth-feel that the other ones (like Pinkberry and Red mango) don’t have. However, I don’t recommend eating the plain with the other flavors. It doesn’t go together well.
Even though I enjoyed it and the nutrition facts seem favorable enough, I’m not addicted, as I think some people are. I’ll have it if I’m around, but I’m not going to crave it and make a special trip there.

Doesn’t sound like the best experience. Your ice cream truck sounded much better. Oh well, it was good of you to try, now I don’t have to.
The strawberry tastes like strawberry quick, and gets cloying. I usually just get the plain and tell them not to fill it all the way cause they give you way too much. The chocolate is pretty yummy also.
Manger la ville, if you’re really in to frozen yogurt, it’s worth a try, but I’m not as enamored as it seems most of NYC is with frozen yogurt right now.
Wonders, thanks for the warning, I’m not a fan of strawberry quick.
yeah, i’ve gotta say, it doesn’t sound all that fantastic to me. i’m sure there are better, more accomodating places.
If you eat at the restaurant, you get a ‘deal’ on the yogurt, I think it’s $3 with any salad or sandwich.
Grace, I haven't really found a frozen yogurt place that wows me yet.
K&S;, is the food any good?
You mentioned Flushing Mall the other day and the red bean dessert place. That triggered my memory about the awesome (to me) frozen yogurt they have there. They only have plain. And they’ve been serving that way before Pinkberry existed. But thanks for trying Forty Carrots and sharing your experience!
Thanks Elle, I’ll have to try their yogurt next time.
