A couple months ago 16 Handles frozen yogurt opened its first Upper East Side store at 1569 2nd Avenue between 81st and 82nd Streets I was SO excited because I love Pinkberry (on the same block) but get frustrated by the super slow and dim-witted service there. 16 Handles is great because you get to make your own, and combine as many flavors as you like. They also have a huge topping bar, that is also self service. Nearly all of the flavors are non-fat. The only wait can be for the topping line and to pay sometimes, but so far, I guess since it's Winter, it hasn't been that bad.
The flavors are great - 16 of them - but I only like the "tart" flavors which limits me to about 4. They had been Original Tart, Euro Tart, Pomegranate and Pina Colada. Last night when I went in, they had swiched out Pomegranate and Pina Colada for Green Tea and Apple. I was ecstatic to see the Green Tea... and it is FABULOUS!
Here is the full flavor list from their website. You can check daily flavors on their facebook page.
I love it so much, I actually have this for dinner sometimes... you know, dessert as dinner, and a hot tea for dessert (to help warm up). I'm afraid come warm weather time the secret will be out and it will be a madhouse!
