Craze

We love coming to Craze! The yogurts, lemonades and smoothies are always so delicious! Alek always such a wonderful job of helping us out! He's always friendly & helpful. The place is always decorated so cute and there are always plenty of games to play. The owner even ordered special Haribo gummy bears for me!! Love this place & would highly recommend it!

Holy smokes you guys! This was the most delicious lemonade EVER! Refreshing and cool, and the cucumbers were cold and crisp! The tajin rim was perfection! Totally worth the $5 for a large. Plus, they accept Cashapp!I ended up buying another one later in the day! My hubs tried the Mango! I wanted to stick with this flavor though.

Perfect place for a date night or for some yummy treats with the peeeeeps! They are open late on Sunday's so we were excited to check it out!We were greeted as soon as we entered by the friendly employee even though she was busy assisting other people. We headed towards the register since we were not getting yogurt. If you are getting yogurt, it is self serve, and the cups are right in front when you walk in. We looked over the menu and there are more then plenty of drink options and so it was hard to pick just one! I ended up getting a medium iced vanilla chai latte and the hubs got a medium cucumber lemonade drink. Our total was $6.87, so not bad!We sat down to wait for our drinks and there are several game boards to play with while you sippp / eat. We decided to play connect four and tic tac toe. There was a group of people also playing games and playing the piano as well. Our drinks did take a while for the girl to make since she did take on a couple orders after us. I think she was the only one working so everything was on her. Overall service was good and the drinks were great! It was pretty busy as well as people would come and go.

Lemme tell you.... i cannot believe it took me this long to rave about this place!This spot is the bomb dot com! No joke, my husband and i make a point to make our way from dinner we just had on the west side to come alllll the way here to the east side just for their amazing froyo!! We just cant get enough! Everytime we get our stuff and think, "oh man, this is too much.. i cant finish all this!"..... yet do finish every drop, and think, God i want more! Lol sooo so good!And i am a fruit freak when it comes to fruit toppings that are deliciously ripe. I hate sour, hard fruits in my froyo... yet without fail, this place always serves the perfectly ripe fruits! Though i only get the tart froyo flavor which i am super infatuated, my husband swears by their oreo and cheesecake flavors, and he's hard to please! The fact that he suggests we get this more than i do is a huge sign that this place is amazing. Lol Unfortunately their westside spot is closed down now but you will not regret the trip out here for it!

Craze has always been my favorite froyo spot in El Paso. I actually used to come to this location on a weekly basis, but now I find myself at the Westside one more (just closer to where I live). And if you've never had their cucumber lemonade... get it now!I think they have about eight flavors in rotation on any given day. My favorite is the tart (aka "original"), but I also usually get some coconut and chocolate. And yes, you can try the flavors first.What really has me sold about Craze is the topping options... I always go straight for the cookie dough. They have lots of chocolate options like M&M's, chocolate covered pomegranates, Butterfingers, Oreo's, and other things I'm forgetting. Of course they have chocolate and caramel syrup. You have fruit options, cookie options, wafers, and they have boba beads!You pay by the weight so it's really up to you how much it costs. But I know when I go in I've gotten some pretty big cups of froyo and toppings for $6-$7. Not too shabby!Craze has a really cool laid-back modern atmosphere. And I've seen (I have yet to test this out myself) on their Facebook page that they allow pets... and I don't mean they just allow pets on the patio, they allow pets inside.

Make sure that when you search for this restaurant, spell it correctly with a "z" as there are plenty of other places in El Paso spelled with a "v". -approximately 10 different delicious yogurt options -approx 30 Fresh toppings: candy, fruits, creams, chocolates, crackers, cookies, etc-Several games to play: connect 4, tic-tack-toe, cards, etc-Have not tried the coffee, smoothies, or tea. -never disappointed with the background music-quick and accessible service-friendly staff-sign up for the membership to take advantage of free yogurts, 50% off deals, etc

MY NAME IS NOT CRAVEMy buddies and I kept getting this placed confused with Crave, the burger place; even though CRAZE distinguished itself by selling a variety of frozen yogurts, an assortment of frappe drinks, and unique lemonades (which they are known for). On the outside, there are tables and chairs for you to enjoy the desert heat with a dessert treat. Definitely a great place to enjoy with some friends. Upon entering, you have the cashier smiling in the front with the yogurt topping bar, seats and a variety of board games to the left, and frozen yogurt machines to your right. Definitely a great place to enjoy with some friends. However, the first thing you see are a bunch of tiny paper sample cups that would make any inner child giggle in delight. This is where we give Costco samples a run for their own money. It was nice being able to self-sample the yogurt flavors without bothering any workers. It was also nice to sample every flavor before committing to a choice. Despite the large assortment of frozen yogurts, I opted for their frozen coffee drinks. Here's what I found...The DRINKS: PRESTO CHANGE-O THIS AINT A STARBUCKS FRAPPUCCHINO White Chocolate Mocha with Chocolate Syrup Drizzle: LIKE A SKINNY CHOCOLATE MILKWhat I mean by 'like a skinny chocolate milk' is when someone makes chocolate milk, but only has a few drops of chocolate so that it tastes like milk with some chocolate flavor. This drink is to a White Chocolate Mocha like orange flavored La Croix sparkling water is to orange soda, there is just a ton of expected flavor missing compared to its Starbucks counterpart. While I did taste the coffee, chocolate, and milk, the flavor was very mild, watered down, and difficult to taste anything more than light coffee, chocolate, and milk (-1 star). What also made it difficult to enjoy was that the drink was not completely blended as each sip was met by chunks of ice. Imagine my tongue (the Titanic) repeatedly crashing into these icebergs and making what was supposed to be a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up in the El Paso heat into an ice chewing contest with my buddies. We noticed they used a mix and wished they used much more to intensify the flavors or made a tested batch before selling it to their customers.Kona Mocha with Goat Caramel: KONA HAS LEFT THE BUILDINGKona is a region in Hawaii known for their coffee, which I hoped to experience through this drink. I tasted a stronger coffee and chocolate presence in this drink, but it still had a much milder and watered down than its Starbucks counterpart (-1 star). I would have liked to have much stronger coffee flavor, maybe 3-5x what I had tasted. The Goat Caramel added a much needed sweet decadence and depth of goat milk flavor, but I think it would have worked wonders if it was blended into this drink. Once again, the incomplete blending led to icebergs that made it difficult for the Titanic of my tongue to taste and enjoy the drink. The VERDICT: STARTED AS A FOOD TRUCK, NOW WE HERE!The blended ice coffee drinks were recent add-ons to their ever changing menu, which I had high hopes for. I liked how they are experimenting and expanding their menu and even have a suggestion box on what to add onto the menu; but wished they had made test batches of their drinks before serving them out. Using Starbucks as a guideline, their blended ice coffee drinks are lacking in flavor and coffee intensity, but they have room and potential to grow. If I were to come back, I would opt for their known lemonade drinks and maybe suggest making their coffee drinks much stronger. Maybe add a shot of espresso? Regardless, if you're in the Las Palmas shopping area, this is still a chill place to drop by to escape the El Paso heat.

I have never been to the store, only to the food truck.. but I am OBSESSED with this place. I have to hit them up every single time I see them out! All of their lemonades are beyond amazing, especially with the tajin rim. Customer service is always phenomenal as well. I definitely need to get into the store.

UPDATE: I'm doing my part to stop shilling and over-inflated fake reviews, so I'm lowering my rating from 3 to 2 to balance out.The funniest thing happens just outside of Craze: you will notice the music being blasted out of Craze competing with the music being blasted out of Five Guys, add to that the obligatory tough guy driving by blasting his speakers every two minutes or so and it can be quite hilarious! (not as hilarious as that first "review" for this place, however)Craze sells frozen yogurt by the ounce, so you pour as much or as little as you want. This being a new place, the folks are encouraging you to try out all the flavors, but for the love of god don't be a dick and just eat samples and leave (seriously, these two guys did that!).Flavor selection is good, though to be honest no one flavor really stands out. The toppings selection offers good variety and balance between your fruit toppings and your candy toppings. I really wish they offered mochi as a topping, and I only bring this up because I'm fairly certain the owners/workers are reading this, but I totally do not base that on the first review that was posted, which is totally not a shill, but an honest review, I'm sure...Craze is conveniently located next to Five Guys, making it a nice dessert option after stuffing yourself with fries.

Cucumber lemonade is a must have here. Bummer we drove across town for them and they were out of large cups.
