OK, so it was 9 degrees last Friday night.

That doesn’t mean you can’t slap on a hat and scarf and still eat something chill-inducing like frozen yogurt.

While Richmond doesn’t have a Pinkberry—the hip frozen yogurt franchise that exists only in New York and Los Angeles—it does have the new Verry Berry (yes, that is the correct spelling), which opened in the VCU vicinity last week.

The concept is simple: Six machines featuring 12 flavors allow you to mix and match for personal taste (mango, dark chocolate and strawberry cheesecake are some choices) and a toppings bar can make your snack either healthy (fresh fruit) or not (M&Ms, Cap’n Crunch). At only 39 cents per ounce, this sounds like a reasonable lunch/snack alternative.

The locally owned and operated shop is across from the Siegel Center at 1311 W. Broad Street and currently open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.

Check out Table Talk in Thursday’s Weekend section for more info on Verry Berry.
