Ã–ko - Frozen yogurt on 5th Ave

barefoot · July 2007

on subsequent days this week I had the chance to try both Oko and Pinkberry. On each occasion I had a small original flavor with fruit topping (strawberries at oko and raspberries at Pinkberry). Both were totally delicious and I found no major differences between the two. Just my new favorite dessert! Thanks 8th and Prez for pointing it out!

Hey, just doing my job!

I do differ, however, in that I think Oko and PB have fairly difft flavors. Pinkberry is a bit sweeter and Oko is a little more sour and Greek-y in flavor. Personally, I like Oko better.

I hate to sound like a piglet but the last 3 times I was at Oko the portions kept getting smaller and smaller - including the toppings. I kind of gave the girl at the counter a look like "um, is there anything in the cup" and she just shrugged. Something fishy going on here...

Interesting... I haven't been in a few weeks but I always felt their portions were very generous.
Nubnu - Oko has nutrition info on their website. 90 calories and 0 fat per 3 oz serving.

Ok, now I'm craving... I may need to trek down there tonight! :pig:

On one hand, I'm glad that this is a thread about yogurt and not that chem-food Cold Stone "ice cream food" chain. On the other hand, I am not a fan of Oko. I wanted to like it. I like the name. I like their eco-friendliness. I like Total Greek Yogurt, so I know what Greek yogurt tastes like. But I didn't like it at all. I was much happier just having a bowl of mixed berries. I'm amazed at the business they're doing! We didn't think they'd last long. Apparently, we were wrong.

maybe you should try the mixed berry yogurt. with mango. out of this world.

bergenites · August 2007

Just got back from Oko.... servings were maybe fractionally smaller (regular size), original yogurt yummy, and the mango was still delicious and fresh, and we were very happy.

Oko is like Crack! I find it so, so so, good, and way more flavorful in a sour yogurty way than Pinkberry, which isn't bad at all. But if I have a choice, it's Oko every time. I find myself making excuses to go down to 5th ave...Last time I had an original flavor with Gooseberries {called Golden Berries there}, they were slightly sour too and complemented the froyo perfectly. Now I'm going to get some more tommorrow! :pig:

I know - I find myself thinking about my next visit to Oko even as I'm walking away from Oko after eating Oko.

I tried one of the gooseberries last time and..... uh... no thanks.

I was devastated to discover that the organic cherries are now out of season. Suuuuuucks!
