LOVE their freshly made greek froyo
this place pmo because how are you gonna base the price off of the weight if YOU add the toppings. defeats the whole point. also the strawberries were like half frozen and tasted like nothing. smh!
I really liked this place! They have lots of ice cream flavors and even yogurt flavors. The flavors were so good, and they have seating inside and outside. Such a nice spot to chill and enjoy a treat! đŚ
Ice cream is really good. Service is even better. Itâs a great vibe.
I used to love this place until it got dirtier and dirtier...
Last time we actually got sick after having some of their frozen yogurt. That was our last time!
Used to be our go to neighborhood spot, yet returned to use a gift card that was refused - claiming change in point of sale system. Poor management and customer service. Will take business elsewhere. Note: We did not receive the call from the owner, as promised, and the discount referenced was 10% for transparency.
Great place and nice people.
This is such a simple and cute spot with great frozen yogurt flavors! My usual Yogorino cup with fresh fruit will never fail to brighten my moodđ¨.
The Igloo is a self-serve frozen yogurt spot with a fun twist â you serve your own froyo, but the staff handles the toppings. While theyâre generous with them, I kind of wish we could add our own to better control the amount. Still, the flavors really stand out. I loved the raspberry pomegranate and the imported European ice cream â both are rich, tart, and you can really taste the probiotic tang. Seriously amazing.
They didnât have cups available for taste-testing, so we had to pick flavors on instinct, which was a bit of a gamble. I wasnât the biggest fan of the cinnamon toast crunch flavor, but everything else we tried was solid. There was a long line since it was a hot day, but it moved quickly enough that nothing melted before we could dig in.
Indoor seating is limited â just a couple of tables and chairs â but thereâs a quaint little triangle-shaped outdoor area with string lights that makes for a nice evening spot once the sun backs off. A great place to cool down and treat yourself after a hot day.
Every time I order online I ask to put the toppings on the side, and every time they put it on the yogurt. Like come on, learn how to read simple instructions!
Love the froyo but the service havenât been good.

Simple spot with good flavors and tasty ice cream. The best partâitâs super dog friendly. It can get a little busy during peak times, but pups are always welcome at the front window for a free pup cup. The walk-up window is a nice touch for dog owners.
Very charming ice cream shop with wonderful and friendly staff. Plenty of options and the ice cream is a super delicious treat.
Extremely high quality water ice (very creamy), unbelievably friendly customer service, very clean and a very attractive price point at this day and age. A five star establishment if I ever saw one. Can't believe I only discovered it because they keep longer hours than the chain.
It is hard to put into words what this place means to me. Sure, itâs just ice cream and froyoâŚand yet, itâs more.
First, the product:
The Igloo has stuff you canât find anywhere else. Among their awesome selection of flavors includes one called Yogorino, a light,refreshing, slightly lemony flavor that you canât get anywhere else.
But, the toppings are beyond anything you can find anywhere else. Thereâs my favorite: Peanut Butter Krocco â a creamy PB sauce with crispy crunchies in it. Thereâs also chocolate Krocco, a one-of-a-kind pistachio sauce, and a textured white chocolate sauce.
Now for the big reason this place means so much to me: the people. Everyone is amazing but Cam and Octavia are world-class humans. Always friendly and welcoming but even more, they go the extra mile.
After my father passed away, I ordered DoorDash from The Igloo because in my pain, I craved something comforting. For me, that is vanilla froyo, peanut butter Krocco, and chocolate sauce. I added a note that it had been a ârough weekâ after my father passed and it would mean a lot if they could go a little crazy with the Krocco. When it arrived, I saw a cup constructed with love. More than a year later, I went into the Igloo in person and was recounting how impactful that was and Cam and Octavia remembered it with the kind of clarity that only comes from people who care.
The Igloo is more than ice cream. They are the kind of people that transcend customer service and deliver an experience of real genuine human connection each time.
Add that to the best froyo and toppings, why go anywhere else?
A Local Favorite with Room to Grow for Vegan Options
Igloo in Fitler Square is one of those ice cream shops that brings the whole neighborhood togetherâbright, cheerful, and full of variety. As someone whoâs always on the hunt for standout vegan ice cream, I was happy to find that Igloo does offer a vegan option. Their vanilla soft serve is the lone vegan ice cream flavor, but itâs a good oneâcreamy, smooth, and impressively tasty. Iâve sampled vegan ice cream across many cities, and not all vanilla is created equalâthis one holds its own.
However, Iâd love to see more options for those of us who donât consume dairy. While there are fruit-forward choices like sorbet and açaĂ bowls, vegans looking for a true ice cream experience might feel a bit limited. I'd also love to see shakes made with a plant-based milk on the menuâsomething that would really round out the offerings and make the experience more inclusive for those of us who canât do traditional dairy.
That said, Igloo truly shines in other ways. My family, who happily eat everything, love it here. The shop is welcoming with plenty of seating both indoors and outside, which makes it an ideal spot to relax with a cone or sundae on a sunny afternoon.
One of the standout features for me is their selection of high-end saucesâmy personal favorite being the pistachio sauce. Itâs unique, rich, and something you donât find at your average ice cream shop. It elevates even the simplest dish and keeps me coming back.
All in all, Igloo is a sweet spot with a lot to love. Iâm hoping to see them continue to expand their vegan offeringsâespecially plant-based shakesâso that everyone can fully enjoy the fun.
