This might not come as a surprise to many of you who’ve hung out on Decatur Square in the last month or so, but the yogurt shop – Froyolo – has closed.
In response to inquiry, the City’s Catherine Lee tells us that the owners of Best Time next door say the space is being renovated to become an ice cream shop in the near future.

YES! We are turning away from frozen yogurt and going back to good ol’ ice cream!
Cheers,
Zack
So now we’ll be overrun by ice cream shops!
You say that like it’s a bad thing….
How about if we move one of the ice cream shops to Oakhurst Square? They are in desperate need of one on the other side of the Dequater.
I hope they’ll sell the Walmart non-melting kind!
Still bitter about the Uber thing?
Heh. Yeah.
*Crosses fingers for Morelli’s*
If the ice cream quality is anything like the pizza, God Help us all.
Wait. I read that to mean the Best Time owners had the inside scoop, so to speak. Not that they were the ones opening the shop. I guess there’s still hope for my dream of having a place where I can get a single scoop of Rocky Road, some nail polish, a doo-rag and a massage!
And a lottery ticket.
And a wig.
I read it both ways but decided to go for the snark. Sounds like same owner, new concept.
Still hoping for a cuban sandwhich shop…wish there could be more than ice cream.
Cuban ice cream sandwich? Would probably perform quite well with pregnant women…
that seems not that bright considering that Butter and Cream just opened right around the corner…….
Their road is going to be rocky.
Ya never know. A quality product at a buck less a scoop than Butter and Cream might hit a home run and turn B&C’s road rocky.
I seriously wonder why businesses in Decatur come in waves. I’m thinking of the last ice cream fad (Ashby’s, Cold Stone, Jakes, the Gelato Place that became Cafe Lily etc.), then FroYo clones and various ethnic ices/snoballs, crafts beer, cutting edge cocktails, Mexican/Southwestern/Latin, bookstores (formerly), etc.
Is it that the entrepreneurs all do the same research, come to the same conclusion, but don’t talk to one another? Us patrons are so brainwashed that entrepreneurs have to jump on board of whatever is the fad of the week? I’m enjoying most of these waves, but sad to see entrepreneurs go to so much work to develop a neat business and then die in an over served market.
Some pholks from Philly are opening a water ice joint by the Kirkyard in Kirkwood. As a childhood patron of The Lemon Ice King of Corona, I am looking forward to this one.
Water ice? Can you translate for us’ns?
You ARE from around here, aren’t you?

I’m with you and I have spent many an evening in both Little Italy and the North End of Boston. Never heard the term “water ice”. Italian ice, yes. Maybe all the signs said “water ice” in Italian and I didn’t realize it.
It was Italian ice where I grew up, too, but I am familiar with the term water ice thanks to the fact that my sweetie went to LaSalle in Philadelphia..
Thanks, always learning something new on DM. While we are at it, is Italian/water ice found in Italy or is it an Italian-American thing? The one time I bopped around Italy for a few weeks, I found gelato but not ices.
