Pinkberry

This upscale fro-yo joint is delicious without being over-the-top decadent. They pride themselves on serving zero fat yoghurt, with a serving as low as 100 calories - a far cry from a McFlurry and sugar-laden alternatives. Here’s an alternative that is easy on the waistline without sacrificing in taste.

There’s an initiation for all first-timers to the Pinkberry experience. They get treated with shot-sized samples of all available yoghurt flavors (Original, Strawberry, Chocolate, Pomegranate, Mango, Watermelon and Passion Fruit) and a quick rundown on how Pinkberry operates: choose a cup size, your preferred yogurt flavor and a number of toppings ranging from freshly cut fruits and nuts, to coconut shavings, chocolate chips and other more sinful toppings (for those who aren’t keen on counting calories).

Both sanitary and simple, all preparations are completed in plain view behind a glass pane. Customers can ogle their fresh yoghurt and toppings being prepared in front of their very eyes before treating themselves. A bit of foreplay for the appetite.

This medium-sized branch accommodates to indoor and outdoor seating on the plaza of Verdun 730. With over 50 fashion boutiques in Verdun, Pinkberry welcomes strung-out shoppers to come rest after their shopping adventures in Beirut’s oldest fashion district.
