60+ Topping Options Make JW Froyo DZM's Coolest Dessert Shop
advertisement
Peach
with saffron spice, chunks of black and white Kinder chocolate, kiwi
jam, and coffee sauce are but a few of the many toppings you’ll find at
the newly opened JW Froyo shop
(the acronym stands for "Joghurt Werk"). The German frozen yogurt brand
has recently opened its first branch in Dongzhimen's Raffles City Mall,
following locations in Chengdu and Shanghai, and is an undeniable haven
for dessert fans.
The stand can be found in the basement of Dongzhimen's Raffles City
The
spellbinding 60 topping options (many of which, as mentioned above, are
distinctly more unique than the run-of-the-mill fruit chunks and sauces
offered at many other frozen yogurt joints around Beijing) can be added
for RMB 3 per spoonful. The cups of froyo themselves, meanwhile, are
sold for RMB 22 for a small, RMB 35 for a medium, and RMB 55 for a
large.

Over 60 unique toppings are available
The
reasonable prices and eclectic toppings aren’t the only memorable
features to be found here. Adventurous patrons will enjoy the black
"light vanilla" flavored frozen yogurt instead of the standard white.
The JW Froyo team says this darker option is made by using activated
charcoal from a coconut shell (a similar trick is used to darken burger
buns and pizza crusts across Beijing). Aside from the eye-catching
"color," the black frozen yogurt is also slightly sweet, compared to the
original flavor's tartness.
The toppings are only RMB 3 for each spoonful
It's
also very Instagram-friendly, as is the shop’s quirky, logo and overall
funky aesthetic. We were unsurprised then to find several customers
curled up on JW Froyo's large step-like platforms (the store forgoes
tables in lieu of this unusual option) near the dessert counter,
dutifully snapping photos of their handsome pots of frozen yogurt.
The frozen yogurt comes in white and black varieties, or you can have both in a swirl
Regardless
of how they draw customers in, one thing is true: JW Froyo's product is
the real deal, making it one of the best new venues to stop by and cool
off this summer.
