From journal Eating my Way though LA

There is no doubt that LA is the trendiest city in the US. With our here today gone tomorrow attitude when deciding what is hot and what is not one takes notice when a place just can’t seem to get off the hot and trendy list. For over a year now Pinkberry, aka crackberry (it’s that addictive) has commanded lines that stretch around the block.
These small chains aren’t hard to miss. Each is themed differently however they are the height of trendy. The Pinkberry that I frequent in Pasadena is pained shocking white, baby blue, and lime green. With one wall full of small, cute, brightly colored Japanese toys.

Pinkberry is a tart, Korean yogurt (well according to the state of California it isn’t yogurt, but for purposes of the review I’ll call it that) that is sold in only two flavors: original and green tea. My recommendation is the original for not only its flavor but also because flavor mixes better with toppings that there is to choose from. Toppings range from chocolate chips, fruity peddles, coconut, capital crunch, granola, and cookies and cream. Or take the fruit alternative and add on blueberries, blackberries, mango, lychee, kiwi, bananas, pineapples, and strawberries. My hands down favorite is raspberries. Their natural flavor brings out the tartness of the yogurt and yet lends its sweetness to give it a sentential, unforgettable flavor. The best part is not only does it have a mind-blowing taste, but also it is also good for you. The yogurt has only 25 calories per every 28grams, no trans fat or saturated fat, no cholesterol, 6 grams of carbohydrate, and contains calcium and vitamin C.

If you still aren’t sold on Pinkberry keep this in mind: Pinkberry also became known as the "yogurt that launched a thousand parking tickets" because before Pinkberry branched off to more locations customers who couldn’t find parking would park anywhere and accept a parking ticket as part of the cost of the yogurt.
