THE EBI REVIEW: Yogurt Park distinctly reminds me of the spirit and time in which the East Bay Insomniac project began. In 2003, The Larry Sanders Show was on late night syndicated rabbit-ear-receivable television. Quite often, immediately prior to inquiring if his pants made his ass look fat, Garry Shandling (as Larry Sanders) would send a studio minion out for frozen yogurt. I found this captivating and hunger-inducing.
Enter Yogurt Park. Open until midnight with large servings, nonfat flavors and ample toppings, this brightly-lit little takeout joint often has a small crowd of like-minded sweet-toothed night owls. Due to an upturn in competition in the last couple years from trendy gelato, Yogurt Park feels dated in a good way. A gigantic large will only set you back $2.75 ($3.40 with 2 toppings). Although equally delicious, you can’t even get a picolo at Naia for that price. Just browse Yogurt Park’s wall of accolades for proof of their staying power (since 1977!) Butter pecan and cappuccino flavors recommended.
