This summer, a cup of frozen yogurt is the hottest accessory in New York City—here's where you can get yours.&nbsp;

Frozen yogurt is having a well-deserved renaissance. After years of taking a backseat to elaborate ice cream creations and artisanal gelato, the nostalgic summer staple is officially back in the spotlight—and New York City might be single-handedly responsible for its revival. Social media sensation Mimi's has become the season's must-visit dessert destination, with lines wrapping around the block and a recently opened second location in Greenwich Village, while a wave of new gourmet concepts is proving frozen yogurt can be just as exciting as any viral sweet treat.
From new favorites like Go Greek and Birdies to longtime classics like Forty Carrots and Pinkberry, frozen yogurt has been all the rage this summer. Whether you prefer tart and tangy, piled high with toppings, or served simply with fresh fruit, there's no shortage of spots satisfying every craving. We've rounded up 10 of the best frozen yogurt shops in the city where you can get your hands on the ultimate summer sweet treat—and, hopefully, not have to wait in line for an hour to do it.

Myka is all the rage, with their take on Greek frozen yogurt originally born in Madrid three years ago. Myka's two locations in NYC: Union Square and West Village, are like a slice of Greece in the city. Don't miss their signature baklava topping and bitter orange compote for your froyo swirl.

The popular ice cream brand, Van Leeuwen, launched soft-serve frozen yogurt back in March, quickly following the emerging trend. At the Van Leeuwen NoHo location, try their four flavors: tart, matcha, pineapple, and strawberry, all made with organic Bulgarian yogurt.&nbsp;

Famous for their ice cream and hot chocolate with toasted marshmallows, Glace has just released a limited-edition frozen yogurt flavor, Milk and Honey, in collaboration with chef Greg Baxtrom. The frozen yogurt is topped with a generous amount of whipped honey and flowers. Try this confection at Glace's Upper East Side location.&nbsp;

Relatively new to the froyo scene, Birdies opened in January 2026, but the winter didn't stop people from lining up to try the frozen yogurt and toppings selection. But wait, there's more! Alongside the froyo, Birdies offers a candy bar with a curated collection of artisan candies, gummies, and chocolates.&nbsp;

Culture

As an original frozen yogurt spot from the 2010s, Culture knows the froyo game. They've been thriving recently thanks to the dessert's recent boom in popularity—and you can find Culture at their Brooklyn location. Culture's flavors change daily, so every time you go is bound to be an exciting experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Madison Fare in Greenwich Village and the Upper East Side has six solid flavors of small-batch Greek yogurt with an impressive range of Greek and Middle Eastern-inspired toppings. Take your pick from Pistachio Knafeh to Dubai Chocolate. Madison Fare is also a gourmet food and gift shop, but it's their cult-favorite frozen yogurt that helped the store go viral.&nbsp;

Also home to the viral dot cakes, Butterfield Market has been serving swirls of frozen yogurt on the Upper East Side as one of New York City's original froyo brands. It's always froyo season at Butterfield Market, and don't forget to try the new frozen yogurt topping, the Orwashers' famous lake cookie crumble, for a crispy and caramelized crunch.

You can't talk frozen yogurt without mentioning Forty Carrots, the pioneer of froyo located in a Manhattan Bloomingdale’s since 1972. Their classic tart flavor has remained the same, with other flavors, like peanut butter and coffee, cycling in and out on a rotating basis. Find a Forty Carrots location in SoHo and the Upper East Side.&nbsp;

Another classic frozen yogurt spot is 16 Handles, with a self-serve froyo bar and an insane amount of toppings that you can add to your giant cup. 16 Handles is located all across New York City, and you can't beat the store's nostalgic feel. They're even offering a free cup on July 19 for National Ice Cream Day.&nbsp;

Another froyo giant of the 2010s, Pinkberry hasn't lost its sparkle and remains the original frozen yogurt brand. If you want to skip the lines at Mimi's but still want premium frozen yogurt, Pinkberry is the place to go. Like 16 Handles, the chain has locations throughout the city.&nbsp;&nbsp;
