  Say NO! to Let’s YO!. I have never been a fan of frozen yogurt. To me it is always lacking. But I had the opportunity to snag an AmazonLocal deal for this placea pay $5, get $10 worth deal. After recently hearing my friend rave about this place I figured that I would take advantage of the deal and give it a try. What I had been told about Lets YO! that appealed to me was the built in iPads provided at the tables. I figured that it could be a good place to nosh on dessert and do research to plan a roadtrip with the hub. Upon arriving we were greeted by a nice young man who asked us if we wanted a sample of the two new Fall flavors, Spiced Apple Pie and Pumpkin Pie. My husband tried both and preferred the pumpkin one, because he is partial to pumpkin. I was only interested in trying the apple one which I will admit really did taste like fresh apples. But I dont come to a dessert place to eat something fruityI want something rich and decadent! Just in case you are not familiar with this place, there are two different sized cups to choose from. We decided to go for the larger one so that we wouldnt run out of room for our toppings. I decided to try three types of fro-yoSea-Salted Caramel Pretzel, Coffee, and Peanut Butter Cup (a combo of Dark Chocolate and Peanut Butter). Next stopthe toppings station. We were both quite surprised and impressed by the assortment. I topped it off with Kit Kats, Snickers, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, mini M&Ms, carob chips, shredded coconut, Nutella!, and marshmallow topping. I was highly excited to see Nutella as an option, as it is a favorite of mine. One thing that icked me was that several of the spoons at the toppings station were sticky. You pay for your concoctions in weight and our total came to $14 and change. There werent any tables available when we had arrived so we planned on sitting on a bench outside. Luckily after we finished making our creations a table had opened up. Note: This place is really small and EXTREMELY busy! Lets just say that Lets YO! has once again confirmed my dislike of fro-yo. I can honestly tell you that I could barely taste ANY flavor in all three of the frozen yogurt flavors that I triedand my husband agreed! I much rather prefer soft serve ice cream. And it isnt like the average person is coming to Lets YO! because they are trying to be healthy and are watching their waistline! I find it comical that their slogan is Enjoy a hip and social space. Enjoy a healthy, delicious treat. Candy stores have never really excited me but I can tell you that I was actually very excited by the toppings station here. But after just a few minutes of scoffing down an assortment of sugar and high fructose corn syrup I felt pretty sick, and had to stop. I basically ate the toppings and left most of the YO! which was obviously pointless to eat anyways. So if you are like a kid in a candy store, if you like hoards of food at your fingertips, or if your name is Veruca Salt then I assume you would love this place. But if you are like me and would much rather have quality over quantity then this is definitely not your place. In my opinion it is not worth the hype, or the money. P.S. Sadly, we never used the iPads. They looked like a dirty, germ infested, fingerprint laden mess and in my Howie Mandel moment I just decided to pass…
