Citizen Pops

Tried for the first time today after being told that I MUST try bubble tea. Upon entering I was immediately greeted and asked if it was my first time there. It was, so I was given a tour of the shop and was explained on how the "system" worked. I decided to order the Mango flavor bubble tea, as bubble tea was my intention for the visit. Though I was very tempted by all the yummy yogurt options, so I think a return visit will be very soon!!!They had some wonderful fresh flavors of yogurt and even some odd ones that still looked tasty, like Taro. Huge and I mean HUGE selection of toppings! Anything from candies to chocolates to nuts to granola. A bar full of fresh fruits that all looked perfectly ripe and fresh. And then another section where you could add syrups and powders to your yogurt. My bubble tea was made to order, I would have loved to have seen them make it in front of me just to see the process. They make it in a back room instead. They had several flavors to choose from such as Mango, strawberry, coffee, green tea, taro and several others that I can't remember. They also make bubble tea smoothies, but they suggested I try the original for my first time. As for the bubble tea, yumm!! It's sweet and creamy and cold! Not too sweet, you can tell its just sweet from the fruit. I would have liked it to be a touch colder but maybe the smoothie style would satisfy that for me. The tapioca balls at the bottom make for an eye catching drink. They don't have much of a flavor but are fun to chew slightly and swallow. I also wanted to add how NICE the staff was!! So welcoming and lots of smiles!! I loved that! The store was spotless! Everything clean and fresh looking. Not a drop of sticky anywhere!!!! Lots of seating including outdoor seating which will be nice on cool nights. Good work citizen yogurt, I shall be back soon!!

We have traveled the east coast trying different FroYo's along the way. We feel like this is one of the best ones! The yogurt is creamy and the flavors are diverse. They have over 50 toppings, including fresh cut fruit. They also have some experimental toppings like homemade marshmallows (who knew you could make them at home), along with 4 mason jars of other toppings like peppermint. They also have bubble tea and hot chocolate. You can get the bubble tea as a smoothie. (I must confess, I still am not sure what bubble tea is...but they have it...and people seem to like it.) For their hot chocolate, they have 3 types of marshmallow topping...regular, toasted and scorched.The ambiance is very clean and peaceful. They charge $.45 per ounce. Don't forget to get a punch card. After 8 yogurts, you get one free (up to $6). Citizen Yogurt is not a chain/franchise. If you have to choose, please choose to shop locally.

Just tried Citizen Yogurt for the first time, and I was super impressed! I've been to at least seven or eight different frozen yogurt chains, and this is easily one of the best. This is definitely not your average, run-of-the-mill yogurt shop! The favors are fresh and unique-the apple pie, cappuccino and pomegranate raspberry were some of my favorites, but their simple vanilla and original tart are equally awesome. And the topping selection is insane! So many choices you don't see anywhere else-like pop tart pieces, pistachios and tons of fresh fruit. Also, don't miss out on the experimental toppings, which are great! The store itself is clean and modern, which is refreshing compared to some of the cheesy too-bright colors you see decorating other yogurt places. Overall I loved it and can't wait to go back!

had pineapple-orange blossomY U M ! ! ! ! tastes like eating fresh pineapple. not overly sweet. little added sugar.

I went grocery shopping at Kroger last night and noticed the big sign advertising the new Citizen Yogurt, which was buy one get one half off. So of course this immediately put me in the mood for some frozen yogurt, so we headed over after shopping. This was definitely a nice, upscale frozen yogurt venue. They had about 8 flavors available, with more to come soon. They had an amazing selection of toppings, more than I have seen at any other yogurt place. Literally anything you could possibly want to put on your yogurt :-).I have a weakness for frozen yogurt because I think that since it is better for you than ice cream it makes it guilt free and I don't feel so bad indulging :-). This place is really nice, nice outdoor patio too, perfect for sometime coming up!

I'm glad Citizen Yogurt is 20 minutes away from my house, otherwise I'd be there daily. Believe me, I'd skip all the healthy fresh fruit toppings and go straight for the jelly beans, sour gummy worms, and Reese's peanut butter cups. For a candy lover like me, this place is a dream. Another thing I like is that it isn't totally geared towards children. Recently I visited another yogurt shop that was more "kid friendly" . Two mothers came in with a mini-van full of little ones. The kids were yelling, messing over the toppings, and understandably bouncing off the walls from the sugar high . The decor at Citizen is grown up. It's impeccably clean and the color scheme is soothing. It just makes you want to relax. It almost puts me in the mind of a coffee shop.Oh yeah... the yogurt! They have a wide variety of yogurt flavors. I tried the peanut butter and cake batter. Both were very creamy and not overly sweet. My teenage daughter had the red velvet and dark chocolate. I will certainly be back to try the others.

I went to Citizen Yogurt tonight with some friends & was super impressed! They have a really clean contemporary look on the inside, outdoor seating & water bowls for your dog! Sweet! But enough about the decorations... let's talk about the yogurt & toppings! They give you little tasting cups and let you sample some of their flavors (peanut butter, dark chocolate, cheesecake, etc.) & then you pick a big cup & get as many flavors as you want & then load up with toppings from walnuts, to chocolate chips, to pop tarts, to fresh fruit, to whip cream ... and on and on. And they don't charge you per topping - they just charge you $0.45 per ounce. That isn't super duper cheap, but it's really not expensive (I got 3 kinds of yogurt with nuts, chocolate chips & Butterfingers pieces and it was about $4.50) and it was really fun to put whatever I wanted on my yogurt without worrying about every type of topping costing me a certain amount - I got as crazy as I wanted to with the toppings. It was fun & tasty- I'll be back & when the weather cools down a bit I'll bring my dog. :)

This review is for Citizen Pops. I cannot attest to the yogurt or bubble tea. This past Friday, the owner of Citizen Pops was stationed with his cart outside of Feel Goodz for First Friday. He was giving out samples of his pops! I tried the Mango Ginger.Delicious! The owner explained that he makes the pops out of fruit, and not juice. This is an important difference because juice freezes differently and tastes more watery. I could even see little fibers of the ginger root in my pop. Very flavorful. The pops are a healthy snack! They are vegan friendly and gluten free.The owner was a great conversationalist! He was very knowledgable and passionate about his product. I definitely support that!I am excited to see the Citizen Pops cart out at the Food Truck Rodeos this Spring/Summer in Downtown Raleigh! I would love to try Citizen Yogurt too. I have never had bubble tea! Sounds like a bucket list item that I need to check off :)

I had Citizens Pops at the annual Food Truck Rodeo in Downtown Raleigh, NC, and it was amazing. There were so many people walking around with the popsicles it sparked me to want one. The server was really nice and knowledgeable I couldn't decide which popsicle I wanted and she help me choose. She said that the pineapple was popular but she liked the lime mint and that's what I went with because it sounded extremely refreshing. The popsicle was soooo delicious. It was refreshing and just enough of mint and just enough of lime. The popsicle was so good that we went back and got a second one this time the strawberry + cream and that one was just as good. My husband and I wondered if we could buy them from a store. Overall great popsicles, refreshing and perfect for a hot day.

Excellent yogurt. Excellent decor. Bubble tea!!!! Highly recommend. Dont let the strip mall fool you. This place is great...right down to the cute dog photos on the wall.
