Assuming a prime lake-front position this week, Yo-Chi Robina has arrived! If you’re an avid dessert enthusiast, it’s likely you’re already familiar with Yo-Chi’s customisable creations. For those who haven’t the faintest idea what we’re talking about, here’s the scoop – Yo-Chi was born in Melbourne’s Balaclava in September of 2012 with the bold vision to bring people together to ‘share the chi’ and inspire creativity by encouraging customers to handcraft their own bespoke bowl of deliciousness. After almost a decade spent nailing the fundamentals, the Yo-Chi team has embarked on a rapid expansion phase that has brought four mouth-watering venues to the Gold Coast since 2022.
If you’re new here, there are a few things you need to know. The first is that here, it’s not a fro-yo, it’s a Yo-Chi. Next, you decide whether you’re in a cone or cup kinda mood. Then, in the immortal words of Meghan Trainor, it’s all about that base. Yo-Chi’s range of natural-tasting 98-percent fat-free probiotic yoghurts are made fresh daily and are available in a mouth-watering array of flavours. There are a handful of core flavours that are available all year round, including its Signature Tart, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and salted butterscotch. There’s also a scattering of seasonal selections – such as the overwhelmingly popular mango – that utilise fresh, in-season fruit for its natural flavour. Vegan and dairy-free friends, you aren’t left out in the cold – there’s also a coconut base that’s made with organic coconut cream.
From there, it’s a choose-your-own-adventure. The array of toppings at the buffet bar meanders from mini M&M’s, Biscoff spread, fudge brownie and Nutella through to fresh fruit, strawberry fruit pearls and zesty passionfruit and lemon curd. But wait, that’s not all – at Yo-Chi, there’s also a limited-edition toppings. This week, to celebrate the opening of Robina Town Centre’s new outpost, you’ll find the limited-time Tony’s Chocolonely milk chocolate brownie topping. Finish your fro-yo with a squeeze of sauce, or don’t, it’s entirely up to you. But before you get too carried away with all of the toppings, you should know that it’s pay-by-weight.
