I want to point out to you one of the newest, coolest businesses in Lawrence, Kansas. Yummy's Over the Top Frozen Yogurt is, as the name suggests, a frozen yogurt shop that just opened. It is located at 1119 Massachusetts St in Lawrence. And although the address suggests it is located on Mass. St., it is actually on North Park Street, which faces South Park. To better acquaint yourself, it is in the building that also holds It's Brothers and the flower shop, right next door to the Lawrence Community Building.
For my birthday this week (May 28 - I'll be expecting gifts next year) my wife took me over to Yummy's to experience what they have. First, walking into the place, the decor has a bit of a modern feel. Everything is clean and minimal, and it looks really good. It's a great space with a view of park, seating for about 20, and plenty of room to get around.
When you walk through the door into the place, you immediately see what sets it apart from other ice cream shops. Build into the wall are three or four frozen yogurt machines of different flavors (when I was there they had french vanilla, strawberry, swirl, a cheesecake flavor, and a couple of others). As you walk in you have the choice of a huge cup, a smaller cup, a waffle cone, or a waffle bowl. You take your choice of yogurt holder and fill up as much or as little as you want with whatever flavors you want.
After that is where the excitement begins. The flow of the store takes you next to a table full of your favorite sundae toppings. Hot fudge, butterscotch, caramel, strawberries, peaches, marshmallow creme and a couple of other things are available for you to drown your yogurt in. I think I had an assortment of hot fudge, butterscotch and caramel. It was very tasty.
Once you've picked out your "sauce" comes the best part - an assortment of about 50 different toppings to add to your hearts desire. Some of the ones I can remember off the top of my head are: walnuts; gummy worms; chocolate chips, Reese's peanut butter cups; chocolate chip cookie dough; chocolate covered raisins; coconut; cap'n crunch; butterscotch chips; whoppers; and many many other things. The end result is your own personal very "yummy" frozen yogurt.
The price of your yogurt is based on the weight. My wife and I both had good sized cups with lots of toppings, and it ended up being about $4.00 a piece. I thought it was more than reasonable.
So, when you're walking down Mass. St. in Lawrence, Kansas, don't forget to stop into Yummy's Over the Top Frozen Yogurt for a great treat. It's also a great place to get a late night snack - and avoid the need for a Bellevue DUI attorney.
