Best Places to Eat Frozen Yogurt in Davao City

2 Replies

The number of establishments offering frozen yogurt here in Davao can be overwhelming, with a few more springing up, trying their luck amidst the already stiff market. Being a confessed froyo addict, I’ve tried pretty much everything. And I have developed the uncanny ability to weed out the best froyos from the good few.

Best Frozen Yogurt in Davao

Here are my top-rated frozen yogurt places in Davao.

Coffee Cat (Rank: 1) – The first to offer frozen yogurt in the city, Coffee Cat‘s withstood its competition and stayed on top as the best-tasting froyo in Davao City.

Their toppings are generic compared elsewhere, but it’s the perfect combination of smoothness, tartness and sourness of their yogurt that won me over. The classy and sleek interiors of their store don’t hurt either. Try their excellent Yogo smoothies too.

Coffee Cat Davao

Coffee Cat

There’s a new cafe in town, and thus far, it is one of the best concept coffee shops I have seen. From the cafe’s interiors to its menu items, there is nothing to frown about at Coffee Cat.

Coffee Jelly Avalanche

Mocha Chip Avalanche
Coffee Cat
Green Tea Yogo Smoothie

During the cafe’s opening on May 8, 2009, I got to try out their Coffee Jelly Avalanche which did not disappoint. It had a very creamy texture with liberal amounts of coffee jelly. This ice-blended drink is a bit sweeter than I would like but it was an enjoyable drink, nonetheless. It is a must-try for those who like their coffee a bit sweet.

On my second visit (less than a week after), I tried their Mocha Chip Avalanche. It was a little less sweet, a bit more bitter, but with the same creamy smooth texture peppered with mocha chips. It was a very refreshing drink that hot summer afternoon.
