Frozland’s Now Open, What’s Your Take?

How does it compare to self-serve ‘froyo’ chains like Orange Leaf? Let us know by posting a comment below.

Frozland, Arlington’s first self-serve “froyo” establishment, opened earlier this week at 882B Mass. Ave., diagonally across from Arlington High School. And now that it’s open, we want to know your take. How is the frozen yogurt? How is the selection of flavors and toppings? How does it compare to other froyo spots like Orange Leaf and Fruitee Yogurt in Lexington, Swizzles in Winchester and again Orange Leaf and iYo Cafe in Somerville’s Davis Square? And how does it stack up against local places like The Chilly Cow and Brigham’s? In case you’ve forgotten, another frozen-yogurt spot, Yummy’s, is coming to town, at 474 Mass. Ave. in Arlington Center, the former home of Something Extra.

Ave. in the center, the former home of Something Extra, a women’s boutique. Frozland has developed a website since we last reported on it, with flavors and…

The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved Monday a common victualler, or operating, license for “Frozland Frozen Yogurt,” the new self-serve “froyo” shop planned for 882B Mass.
