Cult frozen yoghurt chain Yo-Chi is dishing up more than just creamy, clean, not-too-sweet swirls.
If you thought the soft peaks of tart, chocolate, matcha or strawberry cream yoghurt, drizzled with warm butterscotch sauce, granola crumbling under each spoonful and berries so ripe they burst, were already enough to lure you in, there’s more on the menu…sweet treats that are also sustainable - to deliver the real cherry on top!
A Re-bowl-ution Worth Scooping Into
The Yo-Chi x KeepCup Go Bowl is back and this time the collab that serves your favourite frozen yoghurt with a generous side of intention comes with a fun surprise. One of four colours - matcha green, signature tart blue, strawberry cream pink or a cheeky mystery hue - each bowl is built for repeat indulgence.
With a vacuum seal that clicks shut and a curvy, palm-sized shape perfect for cupping as you stroll, it’s made to move with you. Every time you bring it back, Yo-Chi rewards you with 10% off your serve. A soft-serve version of BYO coffee culture, if you will.
For Yo-Chi Brand Director and Co-Owner Oliver Allis, it’s about raising (err, topping) the bar.
"KeepCup pioneered the movement and partnering with them felt like the natural next step for Yo-Chi as we lead the charge in our category. We’ve set ourselves a goal: 5% of all Yo-Chi transactions served in a Go Bowl.
"We’re currently at 0.3%, it’s ambitious, but if we get there, we’ll celebrate with a free Yo-Chi in a Go Bowl Day,” he says.
Yo-Chi x Whittaker’s Chocolate: The Ultimate Dessert Duo
Want another scoop to sweeten the deal? Yo-Chi is teaming up with iconic New Zealand chocolate brand Whittaker’s for a collaboration that’s dripping with decadence. Kicking off Monday, July 21 across all venues nationwide, the four-week chocolate affair will spotlight two of Whittaker’s most beloved blocks at the toppings bar.
First up: the rich, tropical Coconut Block for two weeks of chewy-crunchy bliss, followed by the gooey Creamy Caramel Block for a velvety finish.
To mark the occasion, Whittaker’s recreated Yo-Chi’s signature froyo machine entirely out of chocolate - a 15-hour labour of (delicious) love that’s simply un-fro-gettable.
"This collaboration is my selfish desire to have the best chocolate I’ve ever tasted on Yo-Chi’s toppings bar,” says Oliver. "Whittaker’s Coconut Block is my favourite food on the planet. It may backfire by the ridiculous amount of Whittaker’s I’m going to be devouring over the next month.”
Be quick - this sweet sensation is only sticking around for four indulgent weeks. So, grab a spoon and dash to your nearest Yo-Chi before the drizzle dries up!
Follow @iloveyochi for more details, because this collab is sure to be sweetly sensational!
