Now that we are all on Spring Break, I'm sure that for those of us who are home, we've been returning to our favorite local eateries. I am guilty as charges, but happily so because one of my favorite places in Palo Alto is Fraiche Yogurt. Fraiche, (pronounced "fresh") is a local froyo stop that popped up in Palo Alto before any chain like Pinkberry or Red Mango came to town.
What sets Fraiche apart from most frozen yogurt places is that it makes a fresh yogurt and a frozen yogurt. The fresh yogurt is simply non-fat milk and probiotic cultures. This fresh yogurt is the base of the frozen yogurt, which also comes in Valrhona chocolate flavor, lactose-free soy, and pomegranate. All the yogurts are either 99% fat-free or fat-free. Like most frozen yogurt places, Fraiche does offer a variety of toppings, such as shaved chocolate, figs, olallieberry puree, fruits, nuts and honey.
The taste of the natural frozen yogurt is light, and in comparison to Northampton's GoBerry original flavor, the natural does not have as heavy of a milky taste. Fraiche frozen yogurts are all thinner than GoBerry's. Though Fraiche is much more expensive than any frozen yogurt place I have been to, the portions are fairly generous and the quality is always satisfactory.
I don't know when any of you might be in California in the near future, but if you are, you can't come to Palo Alto or San Francisco without stopping by!
