Over the past five weeks that I've now been in DC, I've worked through my fair share of yogurt spots. While some offer up a tarter blend and others a sweeter, creamier yogurt - one has successfully set itself apart from the others for one reason: trivia.
Mr. Yogato located at 1515 17th St NW takes frozen yogurt to a different level. Yogurt-goers have the option to answer up to 4 daily trivia questions and each question you answer right will snag you an additional 5% off your final bill. If the trivia isn't enough of a challenge for you, Mr. Yogato offers a more difficult challenge that's fit for only the most dedicated frozen yogurt eaters. Those who eat at Mr. Yogato for 30 consecutive days will have a new combination named after them - are you up for the challenge?
The atmosphere makes you feel like you're stuck in a 90's videogame - fitting for the Nintendo Entertainment System that's right next to the counter. While you're enjoying your soft or tart yogurt (or new flavor of the week) you can play a relaxing game of Candyland. As I was saying, this isn't your average frozen yogurt spot.
Overall, the yogurt was one of my favorite I've had since being in DC. As someone whose a huge fan of a more tart yogurt, Mr. Yogato's really hit the spot and the endless and creative topping options, such as junior mints, cocoa pebbles and yes, siracha, made it worth the trek up to DuPont.
Cost? A small or "little" yogurt costs $3, and a huge costs $5, before your trivia discounts and without toppings. Toppings cost an additional $1-2 depending on how many you're in the mood for.
