Frozen yogurt is "big" in Southern California. Sadly, as soon as this Oregonian returned home, she realized that Oregon didn't seem to get the same excitement out of this frozen treat.
I was wrong.
The party has arrived.
Yogurt Extreme has now opened up shop on Monroe St. in Corvallis pleasing all ages with self- serve frozen yogurt, served and covered with toppings according to the individual's preference. This is the only self-serve frozen yogurt shop in the area and has become the "place to be," during evening hours, with crowds lining the walls, anxious to pick out their flavors and mix-in's.
Here's how it works: follow the tile wall to the paper cups and check out the flavors of soft-serve yogurt listed on the back wall. Samples can be tried by grabbing a sample cup and simply taking out a dab of the yogurt from whatever machine's flavor sounds good.
Yogurt Extreme offers a huge selection of toppings, including: mochi, strawberries, and several different types off crushed candy bars.
After the yogurt has been smothered with yummy toppings and decorated to the extreme, its time to bring it up to the scale at the front counter. All yogurt is weighed and costs 40 cents per ounce.
Student, Nicole Pease likes "that you get to choose your own portion size."
She has already been here several times and her friend, Kelcey Delach, says she's "been here four times" since the grand opening. " Delach likes the idea of Yogurt Extreme being self-serve and also enjoys the atmosphere present in this bright shop.
Bright pink walls surround the front counter while brightly colored tile with perfectly placed yogurt machines fit in the center of the back wall.
The shiny metal tables give off a funky party feel, as do the slides playing on a flat screen TV. The pictures all capture happy customers with big smiles as they dig into their personalized frozen yogurt treats.

I overheard a table of college guys next to me discussing the amount of people filling this restaurant, surprised at the interest. "It'll be the "neat place," ya know," one student commented.
They kept repeating to each other that they'd never seen an ice cream place this packed.
As the hour got later, this shop began to fill up so fast with people in search of a sweet dessert that the line stretched all the way to the back door.
My yogurt was gone and it was time to go so that someone else could use my table.
The yogurt had been excellent.
The carefully created dessert was just what I wanted and I owe it all to the genius chef in charge: me.
