If you ever want to meet up with this girl, simply say the word “froyo” and I will 99.9% always be available. Why? It’s totally guilt-free fabulous. And although I have my usual go-to’s in the city {shout out to the yummy 16 Handles!}, there is a new West Village spot that is taking froyo cravings to the next level…in a healthy way! Everyone say bonjour + hola to the delightful and newly opened {as of this past week!}, Culture. Hola.
Culture An American Yogurt Company strives to manufacture fresh strained yogurt and frozen yogurt {from their fresh yogurt} in house with artisanal toppings. Best part? Their yogurt is made from specially selected live probiotic cultures…plus, there are absolutely no preservatives or additives! Umm…yes, please!
Created by Chef Jenny, who was trained at the Institute of Culinary Education and previously worked for the legendary Bouchon Bakery in NYC, decided to combine her passions, great tasting food skills and culinary innovation to make Culture the newest + leading froyo go-to in the ‘hood. And I have to admit…every flavor I tried was seriously out of this world {not to mention incredibly healthy too!}.
all of their yogurt is made in house…hola!
My first question when I walk into any store or restaurant is what is your favorite? and what is the most popular? So when I pranced into Culture after my best friend had been raving about the recent opening and asked these two questions, both answers were the same {which isn’t always the case!}: The Key Lime Pie Crust. My response? “Done. I’ll take that, thank you!”

As I watched John work his magic, which included putting some of the pie crust toppings on the bottom and then working his way up to the top by drizzling honey + more crust, I was honestly quite hesitant to see what the concoction would taste like. But once I took my first bite {and just about died with satisfaction}, I knew this place was easily my new go-to for anything froyo!

Obviously I couldn’t stop there…it was a must to try more flavaaas! I decided on snagging one Organic Cherry Almond and my bestie picked a combo of their Original flavor mixed with the Mango Passion Fruit topped with Kiwi. Both were fro-mazing!
culture’s large sandwiches…who could say no to this deliciousness?
Froyo not enough to please your palette book? Then it’s a must for you to stroll in and try their one of a kind large sandwiches. Their fresh yogurt is smooshed up in between two homemade cookies…umm, merci + gracias! Talk about the ideal summer treat!
Not only was the staff super friendly, but the hype leading up to my first visit to Culture did not fail to please me one bit! This place is a must for you to try any time of the day!
Whether you’re looking for a delicious {and probiotic, might I add!} smoothie, yogurt or fabulous homemade cookie sandwich, Citi Bike right on over to Culture on 8th Street in the West Village. NYC is finally soft serving up a healthy Culture! B+H
