Yogurt Factory

The newest addition to the San Marcos Wal-Mart Plaza on Center Drive, off of Nordahl Road, is the Yogurt Factory. This store takes a unique look into the world of frozen treats. Like many frozen yogurt stores, there are a variety of yogurt flavors and toppings, but there is something different about this store.
Located in a small spot along the row of stores in the plaza, the store is very inviting. Unlike most stores where customers pick a size of ice cream and pay per topping, this store's policy encourages creativity, because they pay per ounce rather than size.
The process of getting frozen yogurt involves taste testing several flavors, then grabbing a cup and swirling in as many flavors one may desire. Following that, the wide variety of toppings, including sauces, fresh cut fruit, candy pieces, and even obscure options such as cheesecake crumbles or breakfast cereal, are all fair game. Because one is billed by weight, you have unlimited options as to how much yogurt or toppings you want. Possibilities range from a plain cup of frozen yogurt to a flavorful hodgepodge of different toppings.
I cannot recommend this shop enough. The staff in sincerely friendly and the store is impeccably clean. As for the yogurt, I cannot find a finer frozen treat than their variety of sweet and fruity selections. Yogurt Factory is an original idea done to perfection. Unlike other shops, which focus on frozen slabs or the color of plastic silverware, they emphasize the customer.
