    Heaven in a cup. Friendly staff! Ridiculous topping options. Not your typical froyo- tarter and more yogurty. Great! And shares the same building as a creperie=!!!!! YESSS!!!!

    Delicious yogurt, with quite a variety of toppings I actually thought it tasted creamier than Pinkberry's yogurt, I'll definitely be going back!

    Sometimes when it's like 50 degrees out, you've just finished brunch with good friends and some of you are WEARING FLIPFLOPS IN JANUARY (??!!), it's good to walk to Harvard Square and visit BerryLine. First, Annie wanted us to go to choir practice, it's Sunday, isn't that what people do on Sundays? Noooooo! RunRunRunRun! Enters Berryline. Familiar artwork, same person who has work hanging at MilkyWay. Hmmmm. Interesting. Cute, colorful, well matched to the decorum and theme of the dairy bar. It took me a couple minutes to get down the process for ordering. I was sort of expecting a ritual similar to columbo, whereas I should've been considering picking one of the basic flavor options: oreo, blueberry, cappucino, and vanilla and figuring out what to put in it. I wound up doing the obvious, blueberry froyo with fresh strawberries and blueberries. None of the syrup-py crap in here! Joke had a smoothie (enhanced with vitamins, cuz she's a growing girl!), Annie had something with fruity pebbles and pineapple (random, but great!), Damon had a hot cider (not sure what the taste test proved), and Chris had oreo fro yo with kiwi and something else, which was also pretty damn good. A small with two toppings, rounded me out to around something like $4.09, and for the amount you get, it wasn't bad. I want to say that it was a 5oz cup. While the frozen yogurt was great, I'll mostly remember BerryLine for something I said to a fellow patron. Girl: Wow I love your sneakers, where did you get them. Me: Mahshalls. BUTTHEYDONTHAVENANYMORE! ! ! !

    so I'm sold on this place now ... addicted to their strawberry froyo and fresh berries ... and they let their staff take tips ... unlike freakin' overhyped Pinkberry a few blocks away ... so until the Pinkberry drones rise up and demand better pay and working conditions, BerryLine deserves people's support on quality and ethical grounds ...

    I just visited this place yesterday. It is a very friendly place, almost felt like a student run organization. maybe it's becaues ppl who work there look like students?? The blue berry frozen yogurt was delicious. The coconut .... not ... I think they should call it sweer cream coz there is no coconut flavour. That said they do have AMAZING toppings, FRESH FRUIT toppings. Their blue berry topping is REALY BLUE BERRY not those from shaws they look like those HUGE ORGANIC blueberry from Wholefood!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, yum yum very healthy! Portion is big and not expensive. Will go back when i am dying for healthy dessert~

    This place is defnitely Pinkberry-esque, or is at least following the healthy frozen yogurt trend. I haven't had anything but the original flavor, and I always get fresh fruit topping -- either strawberry or mango topping. The other flavors are so-so. I asked if they had mochi topping, but they said that only comes out in the summer. Which is weird because another froyo place near my parents' home back in NJ said they don't have mochi until summer. However - Pinkberry in NYC has mochi all year round. Makes me think that they're monopolizing the mochi topping market? Who knows. This place is a good alternative if you want something "healthier" than the Ben and Jerry's around the corner...

    I used to have a "guy's guy" type contempt for eating fro-yo, but this changed after spending last summer in LA, our country's capital and perhaps birthplace for fro-yo. I returned from my summer with a lingering craving for the stuff, and soon after discovered BerryLine. Way too often do I make the long trek from Coolidge Corner to Harvard Square for a small but delicious cup of fro-yo at BerryLine. Please open a location down here! I have no doubt it would be a huge success.

    This is the only place that was able to make me love frozen yogurt. Berryline is great and apparently everyone agrees since it is a small shack packed with people most of the time. The ingredients are fresh and the staff is beyond nice even when they have a million customers to deal with. The staff remembers casual faces despite having a million customers. The flavors are always great and changing. Definitely an awesome place because it taste better than most ice creams.

    I'm from NY, so I have ungodly Pinkberry frozen yogurt cravings when I'm in Boston for school. Berryline satisfies me whenever those cravings hit. I'd say they're more generous with toppings and servings at Berryline. The line is long but moves quickly.

  • Keri B.

    This is the only frozen yogurt I've ever had that actually tastes like yogurt. It has that fresh tanginess that real yogurt has, and it's not super sugary sweet like ice cream. The fruit toppings are fresh instead of canned. You can actually eat this dessert and feel like you ate health food. Totally awesome!

  • Stacey C.

    Delightful. And the best part is, if you don't eat refined sugar, you ought to know that all of their frozen yogurts are made with cane juice!!! :-D

  • John F.

    Now, call me crazy, but I'm generally not much for yogurt, frozen or not. I don't know what it is, but it's usually not my bag. THAT SAID BerryLine is delicious. I love the selection of toppings, and the very generous portions of both yogurt and topping. I had their "special" yogurt at the time- Oreo, yum!- and it was fabulous, especially after I had some white chocolate chips in there. The price was totally reasonable, and I would go back again in a heartbeat! Definitely recommended!

    First of all, I can't believe that Berryline got such outstanding reviews. But then again, Boston and particularly Cambridge doesn't understand good food, and I don't know why. The reason I don't like Berryline is for the same reason that I do not like fusion food restaurants. When trying to cater to everyone's taste, the result is almost never good. I am a multi-generational Bostonian with a sweet tooth from a long line of sweet-toothed Bostonians, so I know my frozen treats. I know that the owners made the yogurt a little creamier to cater to New Englander's tastes. First of all, if I wanted a New England style creamy dessert, I would go to my nearest ice-cream shop. As a new convert to the whole Korean sour-yoghurt craze, it ruins the experience when people cater to what I think I want. What I really want is to experience something new, exciting, something out of the ordinary. Secondly, there is a very unpleasant after-taste with this yogurt that I have not experienced with other pinkberry knock-offs. This isn't an ewww, I cant-believe-that-I'm-eating-sour-yogurt unpleasantness. I like the sourness of the Korean/Californian/throwback to how all American froyo tasted the seventies. No, unfortunately it is more of an overly-familiar citric acidity that seems to be present in almost all of the American food industry's products these days. This is an I'm-catering-to-what-think-Americans-want type of unpleasantness. I HATE the American food industry puts citric acid in everything to give it more "taste" that goes the same for other cheap fillers and food enhancers such as raisins, peanuts, bananas, pepper, and msg. Just because our food is filled with these cheap and over produced fillers doesn't necessarily mean we want more of them. Do you think, maybe, we would want something, I don't know....different from what we have day after day? That's why I try to expand my horizons and eat a lot non-American foods when I can. I want to get away from those things. That's why I was so happy when some friends introduced me to this Korean by why of California tasty goodness. If that's what you are expecting from Berryline, I would stay away and go to almost any other Korean froyo place in the area. I had the original twice. They both had that same nasty after taste, kind of what I imagine what Lemon Pledge would taste like. I hoped it would be different the second time around. I had the mochi topping. I was excited when I called and they said that it was in stock, since the previous reviews mentioned that they don't carry it very often. It turns out that they used pre-packaged mochi, instead of the freshly made stuff that usually is available at other places. The result was an odd, stale, chewy texture instead of the melt-in-your-mouth texture of the freshly made version. I'm sorry if the owners are upset by my review. It is just my honest opinion and no one else in the world my even agree with me. I may be a lone voice in the universe, but honestly think that they could do better. There is definitely something wrong with the food in Boston. Bostonians tend to accept sub-standard food, which is maddening and frustrating since then that's all that becomes available.

    Every time I go here I end up walking through the rain. Is it worth it? You're darn tootin.' This is some pretty stellar frozen yogurt. I go with strawberries and chocolate chips topped on the original flavor.

  • Ani G.

    This new-wave froyo craze (don't ya'll remember how huge TCBY and others were back in the late 80s? No? Just me? Okay then.) comes with less sugar and more fruit (fresh fruit! Who doesn't want fresh fruit in the winter in Boston?). It makes you feel less guilty about busting your diet than JP Licks around the corner. While I would assume that anyone wanting to open up yet another ice cream store in a place where we have 7 months of winter and also has a million other ice cream stores is off their rocker, these guys did go to MIT, and they have almost 200 4-and-5 star reviews on yelp, so they must be crazy like foxes.

    A delicious treat, could have used some Hershey's syrup. Small shop - maybe 10 seats total. The shop was busy but the wait wasn't too bad. I would stop by again if I'm in the area, but wouldn't make a special trip.

    I have been craving frozen yogurt for weeks. I think it must have something to do with the Yelp email that went out, a compilation of all the noteworthy fro-yo places in the area. I tried explaining my craving to my Danish roommate, who wanted to know the difference between fro yo and soft serve ice cream. Although it was difficult to articulate, I eventually felt satisfied in explaining that the differences lie in the overall texture, and more importantly, the tangy aftertaste. Ok. Now I REALLY wanted yogurt. So I dragged my friend Ed to Harvard to investigate this Berryline, of which all my fellow yelpers sing high praise. We were not disappointed. I had an originial with graham cracker crumbs, he had a raspberry with strawberry slices. Both were really really good, and much lighter than a traditional ice cream. And open till 11? Pretty cool. I can tell this is going to be a regular stop for me this summer.

    This review is a bit winded for a froyo place, but bear with me because I hope I can teach you a thing or two... On my travels through India, I hopped aboard a train headed to a remote spot and was subjected to Indian train food. Prejudice would have you believe that anything served on mass transit is going to be nasty, let alone on a train leaving Calcutta.. But the interesting thing about most Asian countries is that labor is ultra cheap, to the point where having a fully staffed kitchen to prepare food is cheaper than mass producing it and freezing it for later, since energy costs are more significant than labor. The end result: Mass transit food in India is fresh! My meal was completely inconspicuous save for this little, red, foil-wrapped, clay pot, which as it turns out, housed the FRESHEST goddamn yogurt I've ever tasted. It tasted sweet without having any added sugar and the texture was incredibly smooth, not gelatinous like store bought, processed yogurt. I don't even like yogurt, and was convinced I was eating something else entirely. I stole my little brother's clay pot while he was napping! And that's what the original BerryLine yogurt kinda reminds me of, though not quite as good. The added fruit toppings are delicious though and help make up for it.

    Berryline is a great new frozen yogurt/coffee place in Harvard Square. The frozen yogurt is there is AMAZING. It actually tastes the way frozen yogurt is supposed to taste, it's not the super sugary garbage that most places have. Plus, you can get all sorts of great and healthy (or not) toppings, like freshly cut fruit (not canned!) or fruity pebbles. They also have great tea, the mighty leaf. I tried the rainforest mate tea, and it was really good. Plus all the people there are super nice. And the prices are totally reasonable. Check this place out, you won't regret it.

    LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. My husband is a serious addict which makes Matt and Pok (Eric) very happy. We go there about 3 times a week. There was one day when my husband went 3 times. Yes that is scary, and yes it is great. All the best to Berryline and their friendly service.

    Frozen yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt! I like the plain with fresh raspberries and coconut. It's delicious and has great hours to indulge when you crave it most. YUM! The staff is helpful and friendly too.

  • Brian M.

    It's an excellent place to grab a delicious treat. It's a bit pricey, however. But what else do you expect from owners who have to pay off their MIT and Harvard loans?

  • A. P.

    after seeing the many delightful reviews, i was dying for an excuse to go to harvard square and have some froyo. oh my god, this is some freaking excellent frozen yogurt. the original is like a sweetened frozen version of the fage total that i eat everyday without fail for breakfast...and sometimes lunch and dinner. i tried the original and the mango and decided that the original was way too delicious and creamy to pass up. even with the addition of some perfect strawberries and kiwi, a small was less than $4... and this was no teeny tiny small. in fact, it was really substantial. that didn't stop me from wanting to turn around and go get another one the second i was done. i have to second whoever suggested that they do pints here. i would love to be able to bring this stuff home!

  • Amanda B.

    They have great yogurt (real frozen yogurt, not the ice cream tasting stuff) with a fun rotation of flavors, but they always keep the option of original yogurt. On top of that they have tons of toppings for any mood you're in - fresh fruit for when you want to be healthy, and candy for when you have a sweet tooth; and they're not shy with the toppings! The staff is always helpful and friendly, and they never hesitate to let you sample the flavors of yogurt. The line is usually long, but in my experience it moves really quickly.

    Boston/Cambridge's answer to Pinkberry. Exactly the same as Pinkberry, at about half the price! Perfect for those who like a low-fat frozen yogurt with healthy topping choices (fruit!)

  • Gracie B.

    There were really only 2 things that I didn't like about BerryLine. 1) The menu was posted on the wall right next to the counter where you order and if you walk in and there is a long line (which there was, and that's a good sign) you can't spend your time waiting in line looking at the menu. You only see the menu when you're just about at the counter. I know! I know! This seems like such a silly complaint. But I pay a lot of attention to the little details that I believe a business should be thinking about if they truly want the customer to have a completely good experience. (And why should any business not want that?) I just think they should post a large menu above the counter where everyone waiting in line can see it. And 2 - the chocolate chip topping should be a little better than Hershey's chips. Don'tcha think? Is it just me. It's not that I mind them, but I think a darker chocolate, or shavings would be a little nicer. OK Now that I've said that. Everything else about Berryline was super good in my opinion. I got a small "original" flavor Fro Yo. I had to ask what original meant. When I did, I instantly got a sample. Nice. Original is basically just plain yogurt. I added blackberries and chocolate chips. Very happy with portion size. The yogurt tasted really yummy, not too overly sugared up.. The berries were fresh, plump, and juicy. There really is nothing bad to say about this lovely little $4.50 treat. I believe it was worth the price too. There are a million different combos to try with the various yogurt flavors (limited, but quality choices) and the cool assortment of toppings - lot's O' candy and fruit and crunchy looking cereal type toppings. I'll definitely go back.

    I recently visited the much touted establishment again. Initially disappointed, I wasn't so keen on coming back. But there was a sale on couches at the furniture store down the street and I thought "hey, why not? I'll just swing by". Plus, it was a cold day, and I love eating ice cream/frozen yogurt/smoothies on a cold day. But if it wasn't for the weather, I'd probably have just passed by. Anyway... This time I tried the Mango (eh) and the Banana (very good). The thing about the Banana was that it was done very nicely. Usually, any kind of tart fruit flavor can go very wrong, and especially banana. But the Banana here had the right amount of sweetness and tart mixed in. So, even though I had some hesitancy on trying it again, I was pleasantly surprised the second time. I'd describe BerryLine's yogurt to be very "medium" and "safe" in taste. The tartness is not overwhelming nor delightful, but a safe range that many would be able to like. It's also not too sweet, which helps enhance the fruit flavor. So, for anyone who has not tried tart frozen yogurt yet (really?), BerryLine provides a relatively risk-free introduction.

  • Sam D.

    Pretty great! Flavor is as good/creamy/filling and the fruit is as fresh as Pinkberry. Workers were nice, toppings were great. The only negative is that it's really crowded...all the time... so be ready for a few minute wait.

  • Lnc T.

    This is my favorite 'frozen yogurt' place to get original tart! I love their frozen yogurt! So yummy! I brought my little sister and we both got their 12oz w/ a few different toppings and she loves it also! My boyfriend used to wonder why I like frozen yogurt so much, but I swear he couldn't stop hogging my yogurt! They have a great variety of toppings and prices arent too bad, it was about $5 /each. I think I'm addicted =X Usually I would prefer a self serve frozen yogurt place like MIXX, but seriously the original tart at Berryline is hands down, just like HEAVEN. I would know O:)

  • Tyler C.

    pretty good toppings. The yogurt just seems more like sorbet to me, but they have a lichee flavor which is decent. Comparable to Yo Berry in Super 88, but I think Yo Berry has a slight edge on the yogurt itself.

    (4)

  • Allison B.

    the product? fantastic. the yogurt truly is delicious and really does taste like yogurt - but obviously you come here for the gloriously abundant array of toppings. fat delectable raspberries, cool chunks of mango, tangy kiwi, classic strawberry - and all the sweeties for you sugar tooth kids - oreos, toffee, pb cups, the works. the only downside? so super crowded (not their fault), but any environment like that is automatically going to add an element of stress and rushedness. not to mention the staff enhances it by yelling "people who know what they want, come to the front" despite the fact that you can't even see the menu/available toppings until you GET to the front. the bf placed the order, requesting a plain yogurt with strawberries and pb cups - which he referred to as "reese's." the order was misunderstood as reese's pieces, and when i heard him yell it to the guy making the order, i interjected, "no! not reese's pieces - peanut butter cups!" cut to the great reveal - we peeled off the lid to discover... peanut butter chips. AHH! at that point, dealing with the crowd and the hassle wasn't worth going back and complaining. and it was still good - but there's no way pb chips compare to pb cups - they just don't! that being said, the best thing to do here is to order some yogurts to go and smuggle 'em into the movie theater. mmmmMMMMMmmmmMMMM

  • T Y.

    An update: I had to downgrade this to 1 star, because I went in recently and ordered the yogurt with mochi, which was hard and inedible. When I brought it back they explained that it was a pricey topping, so they never sampled it--and what's more--they kept it in the fridge! Mochi, like boba, should never be refrigerated--it just gets hard. Needless to say I was disappointed in their staff's knowledge and the product.

  • Franklin B.

    Before I go any further, I believe it is my responsibility to admit that I do not have the biggest sweet tooth. Normally, I don't have one, period. But regardless, Berryline is pretty radical. I went there with my lady-friend after Oktoberfest. I ordered Mango yogurt with fresh strawberries, said lady-friend ordered plain with strawberries and kiwi. The yogurt was pretty amazing, the fruit was fresh, and the company couldn't be beat. I would certainly go out of my way to make a second visit.

    (4)

  • Ben C.

    Too sweet, in my opinion. Haha @ all the reviewers calling it tart or even 'too tart'. What, are you comparing it to? Ben & Jerry's? These people obviously aren't familiar with Pinkberry. However, BerryLine offers friendly service and a decent substitute that should get me through the summer ... until I can get me some true Crackberry!

    (4)

  • Kevin W.

    Seriously? I had high expectations for Berryline after all the rave reviews, but the mochi was hard and not sweet. The mango was in large chunks and not ripe. Even the soft ripe ones weren't sweet. The strawberry was the same as the mango. The yogurt here was sweet and creamy but there really wasn't anything outstanding about it.... I really wanted to like this place too. Maybe my bad experience is an aberration and I'll come back and try again, but I have to award Boyo the best froyo place in Boston so far. This place doesn't even rank in my top 5 froyo places that I've been to in the US, sorry maybe next time.

    (2)

  • Elle K.

    Not a fan of this location. The Porter Square one is much better. Consistency of the yogurt here has been icy more times than not, and the fruit is often overripe and mushy. I've seen flies flying around the toppings several times (Have not noticed this at Porter).

  • J K.

    It's no secret that fro-yo is totally hip and with it, just like Dr Evil. It's also no secret that BerryLine is totally the best. The mango froyo is incredible.

  • Steph C.

    BerryLine's tart frozen yogurt may be the best approximation of Pinkberry I've had to date. It's got that elusive singing tang and that creamy texture down pat. So bravo for that. The papaya and oreo, which were the other flavors on swirl, were not particularly good. They tasted like someone had thoughtlessly dumped some flavoring into the original without accounting for the fact that not everything goes with the distinctive taste of yogurt. The results were a little rancid. Even so, I would have given this place 5 stars if it weren't for the unattractive fruit. The raspberries especially looked muddled and obviously pre-frozen, but none of the fruit was fresh. Also worth noting is that BerryLine has the least Asian atmosphere of any frozen yogurt place I've ever encountered - functional lighting, no cutesy wares, and a staff comprised of bored kids in T-shirts. Baffling, considering that we yellows like to catapult our children into Harvard, but other than that, this lack of Asian flavor neither adds nor subtracts from the place.

  • Michael B.

    The yogurt is good, but no better than Pinkberry or Red Mango. Definitely overhyped. Also, one of the guys who works the late shift here is a serious jerk. Apparently they changed their hours. We found this out at 11pm on Saturday (today, November 10), when the guy behind the counter refused to serve us, or even give a taste. Fine, I get that. But you don't have to be a jerk about it, and seriously, change your signs. When your website, your door, and yelp all say you're open, you can be nice to a customer who doesn't know, especially when they want to give you money and the machines are still on! "Can we get yogurt?" "no, we're closed" "Can we at least have a taste?" "The machines are still on, right?" "Yes" "so can we have a taste?" "we're closed" [note, the machines are on and the tasting cups are still out, it would have taken him two seconds] "but your door says you're open" "we're closed" "so does your website" "we're closed" "do you want our business?" "no, we're closed" "but we didn't know that" "too bad, we're closed" I also saw this same employee refuse a full customer loyalty card because "we have a different offer now". Never mind that he was violating an implicit contract with a customer, or that the loyalty cards are for precisely the customers you least want to alienate. Apparently they're so confident in their reputation, they don't feel there's a need for customer service.

  • Karen L.

    What the hell? Who even makes mass-market lavender-honey frozen yogurt to begin with, much less SO GOOD and relatively cheap? Am I dreaming? OH MY GOD, AM I DEAD? No, probably not, because I still have that rash. My point being, this place has terrific fro-yo in amazing flavors (I've also had the pumpkin and the gingerbread) with great toppings and at lower prices than Pinkberry ($3.60ish for a small with 1 topping vs. almost $5 for the same at Pinkberry, I think). The texture is smooth and rich, the yogurty tang is nicely balanced, the sweetness is just right, and the flavors taste natural and honest. And at 125 calories for a topping-free small size, you could do much, much worse things to your pants. Run, don't walk.

  • Aileen W.

    I had the most amazing frozen yogurt flavor here the other day - vanilla cardamom - blew my mind. They have much more creative yogurt flavors than PinkBerry. I also recently found out that BerryLine was founded by a post-doc from MIT and one from Harvard. Since I've lived in Cambridge for so many years, I feel an allegiance to this local chain. thecrimson.com/article/2… Since you get charged by the topping here, if you are gunning to have a cup of original flavored yogurt with the works, PinkBerry may be a more cost-effective place for you to go!

  • Lisa R.

    Berryline is the bomb. I try to come to this location on weekends with my hubby. I'm always excited to see what different new flavors they have, and they always have something good. Of course you can't go wrong with the Original flavor... I'm taking a star away just because the people who work at the Newbury location are a lot friendlier, and I've also gotten some skimpy servings here at the Harvard location.

  • Scott B.

    Oh fill me with your sweet peanut buttery goodness. Yes, Peanut Butter FroYo... and its flavor was unexpected. Traces of peanut butter, yet still sweet as frozen yogurt should be. It was almost PB & Jish. The service was good, and the ambience was excellent. Nifty pictures adorn the walls, including a giant poster bearing FroYo Nutritional information. Almost transparent blue counters, super clean coffee station, and white walls reassure you that this establishment takes pride in keeping clean. The only downfall is the FroYo flavor selection. Three flavors to choose from: Orignal, PB, and Tamarind (which I'm pretty sure is monkey-flavored). But, despite the lack of choices, you are able to jazz up that cup with a gadzillion different toppings. Even in the middle of Winter, BerryLine is an excellent choice for a treat in Harvard Square!

  • Christina G.

    I was thoroughly impressed with Berryline. I love sweets, and given the choice between a more healthful cup of froyo and a cup of creamy, fat filled, calorie dense icecream or gelato, I'm bound to go with the latter. That was before I tried berryline. It's the best Frozen Yogurt joint I've found so far. In terms of flavor, they got it right with their yogurt. Its got just the right amount of tart and the perfect amount of sweetness. Their assortment of fun toppings allow you to transform your healthy and refreshing treat into something even more healthy ( think fresh fruit and berries) or something a little more indulgent ( think chocolate, peanut butter chips and oreo cookies) mmm.

  • Cris E.

    Simply the best frozen yogurt that isn't loaded with hidden calories and added sugar. The fruit toppings are always fresh! Tip- get your stamp card, fill it up to earn a free yogurt. Flavors continue to change every two weeks or so, except for original which is delicious. The only drawback is a portion of the staff and really rude and miserable. Others can be very pleasant and accommodating.

    I love this place!! I know they're facing competition nowadays, but I have an alliance to BerryLine because they're a small business and I really support small businesses. Really - check them out! You won't regret it!

  • Lisa I.

    This is your local pinkberry-type frozen yogurt spot. It's a tiny little shop and it's kind of hidden. The yogurt is good and there are a ton of toppings to choose from, but they only have a couple of flavors each day, and I like more variety.

    (3)

  • Tanya Y.

    Move over YoBerry. This is the place to go for frozen yogurt (or Fro-Yo) in the East Coast. The line is almost always out the door and the decor of the place is exceptionally cute. They have three different yogurt flavors that vary from day to day. I've ran into Blueberry, Original, Passionfruit (my favorite)!, and Rose. There are variety of toppings to choose from and the key to a great froyo is choosing the right ones. I always stick to fresh fruit. The prices are decent for college kids and they even have a frequency stamp card! My Frequency card is almost full, allowing me to get a fro-yo for free! My only negative points about this place is that there is a lack of seating and restroom facilities. For a yummy, and healthy, snack, this is this place to go.

    This place has been reviewed to death, and for good reason. Let me start off by saying I typically do not like yogurt. I have been traumatized by an unfortunate tasting of my grandparent's "homemade" yogurt, consisting of warm milk kept in a jar inside a purse by the radiator to "curdle." I have also been avoiding froyo since my first encounter with it at YoBerry, a poor excuse for a froyo place. BerryLine was amazing. Inconspicuously tucked out of the way on a side street, we would have never stumbled upon this place had we not yelped it beforehand. $5 gets you a medium with 2 toppings or a small with 3. There were 2 flavors of yogurt (free samples!) in addition to the regular, and the flavs apparently rotate weekly. Tons of topping choices: fruit, candy, cereal...settled on raspberry froyo with fresh strawberry and kiwis ... oooomg...creamy, sweet, and delicious. Gobbled it up while standing in line for a second one...like a true fatty : )

    I like this BerryLine, and trust me...I've had a lot of froyo before (to the point where I'm kind of sick of it *gasp*). I really like that if I bury the strawberries at the bottom of the yogurt, it freezes! And I also like the other topping...it's like a chocolate shaven thinger. The whole thing mixed real well. Honestly, I think the trick about froyo is just finding the right combo. This place needs a bathroom that's not an art gallery across the street. But I still like it.

    I love BerryLine. Yes, there are only three flavors per day- but they are three delicious flavors. Other froyo places may offer a wider variety of yogurt flavors, but I guarantee that those won't taste as good as whatever is offered at BerryLine. My all-time favorites include lychee, vanilla-cardamom, and of course original. It's delicious and worth every penny. I love BerryLine. And, it's local! Beat that, national brands!

    I'll admit it: I have a sweet tooth, I love ice cream more than I should (I'm pretty allergic), and I love treats any time of year. It's the middle of February and there's two feet of snow outside, and my socks are soaked from trekking home in the slush? All I want is a bowl of ice cream. This is a problem, not because I'm clearly psychotic, but because I am a Weight Watcher, and I really should stick to the fro yo. Hi, BerryLine. I adore you. I like the texture, and the sweetness of the flavors. It doesn't taste quite like ice cream, and it doesn't taste quite like yogurt. It just tastes sweet and light and wonderful. Real fruit toppings? Yes, please! I do watch my portions, because even this alternative is not the healthiest, but it's certainly quite a lot healthier than the ice cream I crave at those creamery-type places. It's a sweet, light dessert that I treat myself to when I want to indulge and not feel guilty or have that heavy feeling after.

    I absolutely heart BerryLine. And I love that shortly after I wrote my intial review, I received a message from the owner informing me that they would begin to update their flavors online (so that I wouldn't have to stalk them on the phone anymore) and that they were going to be opening a Fenway location. (BTW, I was totally there on opening day.) I absolutely ADORE businesses whose owners keep up with what their customers are Yelping about and can take constructive criticism. It's just plain great customer service! Reasons I love BerryLine: -25cal/oz -rotating variety of flavors -plethora of toppings -don't take money over toppings (so as not to contaminate the toppings) -3 locations (though I still wish they had a location closer to downtown/ Back Bay/ South End) -flavor updates on their website, Twitter, and Facebook -local business -caring and receptive owners

    Not much else to add since there's so many reviews of this place. Their various flavors are delicious and the toppings are great as well. They even cut the fresh fruit toppings to order. Some of their flavors are incredible and change all the time. They experiment a lot and you can often enjoy some pomegranate, açaí berry, and various others which is something that makes them stand apart. Oh and their nutritional information will make anyone on a diet happy and worry-free since it ain't bad for yah! I just about always get the original flavor with some strawberries and kiwis on top but won't hesitate to check out their new flavors once in a while. Their staff is very friendly and they even have a rewards card that they stamp for every visit so that you can eventually get a free serving on them. Unfortunately the only thing keeping me from more frequent visits to their store is the fact that street parking in that area isn't always easy to find but they do help makeup for it by staying open late most days. A terrific little shop!

    Wow this place has a ton of reviews, and they're almost all good! What else can I say? It's relatively cheap $3.10 for a mini cup. You can get all the topping you want. Add mine to the list.

    I've been a Berry Line fan for as long as I've lived in Boston, but for some reason am just now reviewing it for the first time. Actually, the reason that I am just now reviewing it for the first time is because recently I've been on a quest to find a tangy froyo establishment that I felt could rival Berry Line. I couldn't do it! In the past month I've been to Chill in Cleveland Circle, Red Mango, and Berry Freeze in Coolidge Corner and none of them have matched the deliciousness of Berry Line. Chill came the closest, and was more affordable, but still didn't have the same feeling. Berry Line's yogurt is the perfect amount of tart blended with the perfect amount of creamy. The toppings are unrivaled. I've yet to try Pinkberry, but I really don't think it'll have anything on my old friend Berry Line. As a colleague of mine sings, "Berry Line, Berry Line you can have it anytime. Berry Line, Berry Line have it in the winter time."

    YUMMMMMM If you've ever been to Mochi, this is essentially the same thing, without the do-it-yourself approach. They are, however, happy to let you sample anything you want before you order. I got the nutella flavored fro-yo topped with white chocolate chips, waffle cone pieces, and pecans. It was orgasmically good. I mean, come on-- Nutella fro-yo. Does it require any more explanation? I could eat this stuff every day, and the fact that is way better for you than ice cream helps a little. I'm interested to see what different flavors they get, as they rotate regularly. When I went they had vanilla, banana, and nutella, and all three were great, but I'd be stoked for some taro or honeydew or something even more exotic as well.

    I was super excited to try BerryLine for the first time and I decided that simple was the way to go. I ordered the vanilla froyo with fresh strawberry topping. It looks absolutely yum and I was so excited to dig in...but then, oh travesty upon travesty...my mouth puckered up with sour surprise and goosebumps broke out across my skin! The strawberries were so sour and bitter...I was broken and dejected. This was not the first experience I was hoping for. On a brighter note, my friend got the raspberries and blueberries topping and I was content to take a few bites of that while he finished off my sour strawberry concoction (he admitted they were sour but refused to allow that to deter him). I give it 3 stars because the fro-yo was definitely delish. Hopefully my next time will send my tastebuds tripping with delight!

  • Larissa C.

    Love fro-yo and this place is so far the best I've had in Boston area. Nice and creamy, as compared with some other places that are more icey and less flavor. My favorite combination is original flavor with raspberries and mango, yum!

  • Joanna C.

    I really can't add anything new to the reviews to this SUPER cute fro-yo shop that specializes in fro-yo that tastes like... YOGURT! Love it! Am a HUGE fan of this stuff - I've been know to make a beeline to my fav yogurt shop in NY the minute I drive in. Or make a last ditch stop on my way out of town. Have been wanting to try Boston's version for a LONG time, and finally had an opportunity to on a cold rainy day after eating my fill of wonderful Korean bbq. The place wasn't very full (it was like 9pm on a Tuesday which was... cold and rainy), and we were able to find parking pretty quickly close by. And the minute my "original with strawberries and blueberries" hit my lips... I knew. Heaven. Exactly like the fro-yo I love in NY. Only way more accessible in Cambridge! Definitely go try it out! It's delicious. And not gonna lie - I prefer this over Pinkberry. And the store front is WICKED cute! I love how much personality it has! :) And the people behind the counter were SO nice and friendly. Yay for fro-yo!

    Admittedly, I'm a sucker for fro-yo, but this was better than most. Local! Innovative flavors! Good service! There's little more one can ask for when it comes to frozen yogurt, and so I won't. Consider me a BerryLine convert.

  • Bridget B.

    I stand corrected. My months long (apparently one sided) struggle to get the ingredients list from Berryline has come to an end, as today I received a .pdf from the very friendly co-owner Matt apologizing for the lag time in responding (i'm still a little cranky, but i also don't own a business and can reply to emails quicker so i'll get over it quickly). So, Berryline is not too good to be true. They're just good and fairly simple -AND- use hormone free dairy which is always a huge plus. Pretty much the same stabilizers and emulsifiers in every other fro-yo out there. This all makes me really happy because no one wants to be a hater (especially not me) and I am happy to know that it's safe for me (and most others with food allergies) to eat. One caveat is there -may- be trace amounts of soy and/or gluten in the product for those of you with soy sensitivities or celiac disease, though from the ingredient list I think it may be more on a flavor by flavor basis. For me it would be impossible to tell since those are two things I actually -don't- have to avoid.

  • LuluandDaquan B.

    I always need a cup of refreshing froyo in my life, and if you do too then you should give this place a swirl! I always get the plain flavor (THE BEST HANDS DOWN) but there's something for everyone. What's not to love??? Come get converted ice cream freaks!

    Berryline has better prices than Pinkberry. I have a slight preference for Pinkberry's flavors, but Berryline is still A-Ok. I love that it was started by Harvard and MIT students. I'd stop here every day if I could.

  • Kyra T.

    I like this location, because its tucked away and you purposely need to go searching for it-kind of like looking for the gold at the end of the rainbow, you might say. This little place offers window seating a few tables. Currently, they offer a Nutella fro yo that's delicious. As always, their toppings are numerous. Personally, I enjoy one selection of fruit and one selection of candy. Mix it up!

  • PC W.

    As the sticker on their door says, people do love BerryLine on yelp...including this yelper! Boston doesn't have Pinkberry but BerryLine is just as good. It's a hot and humid day here so we strategically went around lunchtime to avoid the crowds that are sure to descend on this shop today. If my memory serves me right, the Pinkberry cup sizes are smaller. I truly think I got more for my money here. My sister and I shared a medium with strawberry and mango and it was probably the size of a large at Pinkberry. The fro-yo is tangy and cuts the tartness of the fruit. Kudos for the perfect fruit-to-fro-yo ratio since it bothers me when I run out of fruit and still have fro-yo or vice-versa. The shop is small with just a few seats. Since we were there so early in the afternoon, we snagged the little sunroom in the front with the stools and had a little area to ourselves to enjoy our refreshing snack. A cool respite from what was quickly becoming a scorching hot day. So glad that I found Boston's answer to Pinkberry.

    A few weeks ago, I innocently posted a question, "Yo! Berry or Yogurt X?" on Yelp Talk. Little did I know that the BerryLine cult members can *e- sniff* the word yogurt and start spamming a chain with their undying devotion to a yogurt joint that wasn't even part of the question. Well . . . . I had to investigate if I should join this cult. I must tell you that Harvard Square is my old 'hood, so when I saw the BerryLine location, the reasoning for this cult started to fall in place. Its current home was the first home of Arrow Street Crepes which enjoyed a similar cultist, underground following my senior year of college. It was like a Speak Easy for crepes and everyone had to try it and if you didn't, you weren't cool. Well, I am cool, so if there is a new cult in town I need to know if it's cool enough to have me on its roster. From looks alone, BerryLine is easy on the eyes (see my accompanying pictures). The staff adds a warmth and pleasure to the cooling dessert with their playful banter. I was quite frank with them about my quest to find their cult power and they teased me about needing my social security digits. (Does giving 123 45 6789 count?) The yogurt is good. Worthy of cultist love? Maybe, but not on first try. It's a great balance of an undertone of sweet with a mellowed tartness. I tried all their flavors that day (plain, blueberry and cranberry), but I wasn't hit over the head with love-with-first-spoonful. This wasn't my first tango with tangy fro yo so I am more discerning than a first time convert. I settled on enjoying a small plain with mango. They are definitely not skimpy on the toppings like Yo! Berry. But, unlike Yo! Berry, where the fruit is so succulent, the juices mingle with your yogurt, the BerryLine mango was, using a Hindi term --because Indians are the original mango dons--kaccha (raw). Tough mango is not a good combination for silky soft yogurt. They should not offer a fruit topping that day if it isn't up to topping snuff. Now is it worth it for me to head over to BerryLine when Yo! Berry is in my 'hood? No. But I will admit that each of these yogurts has its own unique charm. Ahem, BerryLine cult members, can we celebrate each yogurt shop for it owns take on more healthy fro yo? After all, shouldn't there be a flavor for everyone? Nothing is one size fits all. As for cults, if you have any more food cults you need demystified, you've got my Yelp tag, so signal me like the Batman.

  • Sal E.

    I think I often find any excuse to go to Berryline. It's delicious and better than ice cream. The rotation of amazing flavors is key. I think I had pumpkin froyo with pumpkin bread as a topping. Seriously?? Pumpkin Bread topping! the original flavor still remains my favorite with either blackberries or mochi.

    (5)

  • Mister Chub S.

    Berryline's like Frozen Greek yogurt- nice and tart. The toppings are fresh and plentiful and the portions are generous all around. It's 3.75 for a small with one topping. Not bad. The plain flavor is made with non-fat milk, cultures and cane sugar- it's 125 calories per 4 oz. serving. The only ones that have fat in them are the oreo, peanut butter and nutella. Very refreshing and so different from regular fro yo but if you don't like tangy yogurt, you probably won't like the plain.

    (4)

  • Ruthie N.

    Oh so yummy!! The prices and amount of fro-yo you get are definitely worth the visit! The line and wait are short, and I love the vibe going on. I can't comment on their flavors other than the original, which by the way is super delicious!

    (5)

  • John L.

    After reading some of the reviews (and to offset the walk between Harvard Square and People's Republik), I finally checked out Berryline tonight. Simply put, I'm impressed. The yogurt was yummy, and I appreciated the ability to add toppings. On top of that, I didn't realize how much yogurt I was actually going to get until I got the cup, as the sizes were bigger than I thought they would be.

  • Jenny N.

    While I am an ice cream addict, even I sometimes crave the refreshing tang of a good fro-yo when I'm having one of those "I should really be good" days. I first visited Berryline in the dead of winter and while it took a little effort to find the inconspicuous little shop, I was well rewarded for the hunt. I shared a medium portion of the regular fro-yo with fresh raspberries as a topping and it was really quite a generous amount at a reasonable price. While it's a little squishy inside, they did a good job adding little seating nooks. Service was super smiley and friendly. Time to get on the train to BerryLine!

    (5)

  • Emma D.

    The original + golden kiwi in the summertime = delish and refreshing! Yes, sort of pricey, but it's not like we're on the west coast. Sometimes over crowded with teenagers when Harvard Summer School is in session -- then I'd recommend going to the Porter Square location.

  • Liz M.

    This is legit Froyo on this side of the Charles River. Caramel Apple side by side with Original? hits the spot even on a BRISK New England night. The best part about this place is that they ain't stingy about fruits. I got not one, but TWO scoops of blueberry and not one, but TWO scoops of mango. The raspberry flavor ain't that bad either...

    yeap, pretty good, its like not that expensive, but the flavor isnt really a blast in my mouth or whatever. ive had a lot of hype from friends, but it was just like there. also, there are a lot of like fro yo places in the area, and none of them really stand out. this idiot girl that was there, said that it smelled like a urinal, i dont know if she knows what is a urinal, but the place smelled like yogurt. stupid hipster. yeah, so the raspberry wasnt that flavorful, nor was their honey graham, i would have to go with original flavor, and some of the fresher looking fruit. yeah, so.

    I wish I could give this place a higher rater. I love the frozen yogurt and the array of toppings. But the attitude that I, along with my coworkers, and CEOs have repeatedly received makes it impossible for me to rate this shop any higher. Our office is on Arrow Street so we give a lot of business to BerryLine. I've been there on various days of the week and the weekend, dropped by in the afternoon and late in the evening, visited by myself and in groups, and have purchased froyo in the middle of the summer and when it's cold. So trust me, I've given them many opportunities to win me over, but I continue to receive the same horrible customer service from the same guy. I do not know if he is the owner, a manager or the star employee (he's there a lot). But he is costing this company business and not building a fan base that should be easy - people who work on the same street and you've seen (almost) weekly. We shouldn't want to walk to PinkBerry. The most recent encounter, that prompted this post, was this afternoon. Our co-CEOs were in town and offered to buy BerryLine. So 4 of us went to buy 14 yogurts, 1 hot chocolate, and 1 smoothie. From the moment we walked in we received attitude: he was rolling his eyes, making sassy comments, rushing us to put in an order, even giving attitude when we asked for a sample. Even his request for 24 hours notice when we're going to make big orders was said rudely. We apologized and said this was a decision made 10 minutes earlier, but he still went on about how they would have additional help if they knew. Really, you're going to have a second employee come in for 15 minutes of orders? And when a customer came in after us we let her skip ahead. But when another customer arrived, and we didn't notice her behind us, he gave us more attitude for delaying sales. That is not a good Sales plan or even basic customer service. Treat all your customers with respect; don't make the people who are spending over $70 on froyo, in late October, feel bad for coming in and holding up your line! I won't say I'll never go to BerryLine again. It's too close to ignore and, while winter is coming, the summer will come again too. But feeling this way after you buy a frozen treat ruins the moment. And it definitely does not make me want to recommend BerryLine to anyone.

  • Shawn Z.

    The best fro-yo in Boston - better than pinkberry and red mango. The original flavor is probably my favorite but I also really like the strawberry. The mochi and a number of other toppings are home made and taste awesome. So much better than those offered at competing chains. Prices are very reasonable and they give you a number of different sizes to choose from. It's a pretty cramped location, but kind of fun with some local artwork and an energetic young crowd.

  • Jess L.

    I guess I'm still pretty new to Cambridge because I only stumbled across this place - but I'll definitely come back again! I tried their mamey flavored froyo, which I thought was pretty creative. I would have also liked to have tried to oreo. One of the guys behind the counter was surprised when I asked him to explain how "it works" ordering froyo. He seemed a little disappointed when I didn't want to add toppings. Anyway, the flavor was great. There are not many places to sit down, but I guess that's characteristic of these types of places.

  • Kwan H.

    They haven't had raspberry for awhile but now they're back!! woo hoo!! The line is crazy long at this place but you know a good frozen yogurt when you try one. Even without the toppings, BerryLine does not fail to impress. Note: Stay away from the mochi pieces, they are stinky, too chewy, and taste like flour.

  • Sarah T.

    I don't come here that often, but I really want this place to stay in business. So I'm conflicted. However, for four Saturdays this end-of-winter, I have reason to be actually on this very street. So far, BerryLine pit stop, 1 for 1. I'm always more hesitant to try more than one flavor before ordering, and because the flavors are usually sweeter, I've only ordered the original. I absolutely never get toppings at "normal" ice cream places, but an original with kiwi (a bit of natural sweetness to balance out the sour tang) is pretty much the best dessert ever ever ever.

    (5)

  • Lily W.

    Ohhhh, Berryline. What can I say about you? This place is NOT a on-the-way-to-somewhere-else place. This place is a DESTINATION. It is as good as it gets here. It's a little hard to describe the yogurt itself; it has a bit of a tang and usually surprises people who have never had tangy froyo before, but it is absolutely delicious. THey usually have original, and a couple of rotating flavors which change quite often, and a wide selection of fruit and dry toppings. I have already filled up my first Berryline 'buy 10 get 1 free' cards in a couple of weeks. I can't avoid it. If I'm near one I must go, hell, even if I'm not near one. Berryline should pay me. I definitely advertise this place enough. The only downside is that it can be quite pricey, usually what I get will come up to around $5. It never deters me, though.

    After going to Red Mango and Pinkberry in NYC.. I thought, I have to find something equivalent like this in Boston. Why oh why does all the great stuff go straight to NYC first before it comes to us?!! The madness! Anyways, I went here with my sister.. and we were hooked. In fact, we put up with traffic and drove there because it was delicious. Creamier than Pinkberry and slightly more tart than Red Mango.. I think we have a winner. The place doesn't look commercial.. it's very hole-in-the wall. Ask for the mochi.. it's not a regular topping but it tastes great! And with 25 calories per ounce.. you can afford to eat it all the time. Yum!

    Hands down the best froyo in Boston. I grew up in Boston and went to school there and now that I'm in New York I can't find a single place that even compares to BerryLine.

  • Michelle K.

    After hearing so many raves about BerryLine, this fro-yo addict had to give it a try. When my boyfriend and I approached the tiny little shop, we were surprised to find a line out the door. Holy shit, does this yogurt contain gold dust? Well, no, but it is tangy and creamy and smooth. I'll settle for that, I guess, in lieu of gold dust. I think I prefer Red Mango, which has a little more tartness, but it's a very close call. Four stars instead of five, because this place had a BerryLine-out-the-freakin'-door (who wants to wait twenty minutes for their fro-yo?); also because they didn't have any raspberries.

  • Elaine M.

    I was a bit bummed when I discovered that there is no Pinkberry in the Boston area... but then, a few months ago, I read about BerryLine (a newly-opened, local frozen yogurt shop, modeled after Pinkberry) in the Metro or BostonNow (one of those). Naturally, that very same day, I found myself at BerryLine's doorstep after work... and the rest is history. Their original frozen yogurt is my flavor of choice and I get it topped with fresh fruit, usually strawberries and mangos. Quite addicting. And at only 25 calories for every 1 ounce (there are 5 oz in a small) of frozen yogurt, it's actually not too bad for you! The shop itself is a cute, bright, and happy space. Similarly, the workers have always been cheerful and welcoming. As such, if you're in a bad mood and need a picker-upper (like I did today), consider stopping by BerryLine and pick up your frozen yogurt of choice with toppings instead of grabbing whatever other higher-caloric indulgence you may have originally had in mind (i.e. a tub of ice cream, half of a chocolate cake, an entire box of chocolates... you get the idea); the cheery atmosphere will (hopefully) make you feel better, and the healthier frozen yogurt will be easier on your waistline. Keep in mind, though, that it tends to get quite busy at night (and I'd imagine even more so during the day as well in the summertime), so you may not be able to find a seat if you go during peak times since the place is quite small with very limited seating. UPDATE (02/29/2008): One of their flavors of the day was Apple, and WOW is it amazing! If you like tart/sour things, you'll love their Apple frozen yogurt. Also, considering the frequency of my BerryLine cravings has been enough to fill up one of those "Buy 10 get 1 free" cards in quite a surprisingly short time, I feel it is only fitting that I bump up my rating of BerryLine to a 5.

    Frozen yogurt isn't necessarily my cup-of-tea, but when my friend (thanks, Julia!) intro'ed me to BerryLine, I was pleasantly surprised. You can easily miss this spot while you're driving down Mass. Ave., but it's a hidden jewel (kinda hidden). The texture of the yogurt is smooth and not icy or lumpy. The flavors are very clean and the fruit toppings are fresh - complements the yogurt well. Original flavor is good (a bit sour if you're sensitive to that), but the other flavors are generally solid as well.

    Good tart yogurt with fresh fruit. Healthy, refreshing, and yummy. Normally I rebel against such healthy fare, but its just undeniably good! There are so many frozen yogurt shops popping up though and my palette has yet to distinguish key differences between them (e.g., Red Mango, BerryLine, bo-yo, Pinkberry, etc.). BerryLine is local and gets props for that.

    BerryLine is a wonderful little yogurt shop created by some local former students and located close to Harvard Yard. When I want a quick little meal that feels like desert, this is where I come. They have regular unsweetened frozen yogurt (which is just the right amount of sweet and tart) as well as a variety of creative flavors like graham cracker and nutella! The toppings range from classic ice cream sundae fair to granola, homemade mochi, and fresh fruit. One of the best parts is that the employees are always warm, human, and approachable; not salespersony or fake. When I first came to Harvard from the west coast I was so happy to find this place and have the cashier strike up a friendly conversation with me about Santa Cruz, Ca and Portland, Oregon. A little pricey, as everything in Harvard Square is, but awesome. I steadfastly prefer this place to J.P. Licks.

  • Emily G.

    Frozen Greek Yogurt is the best way I can describe this taste-bud tantalizing summer treat. I went with the original flavor and didn't regret it. My boyfriend got Nutella flavor. The toppings are the best and great selection between fresh fruit and candies (and even cereal). If you get the banana, make sure it is not too green though. Suggestions: Do NOT go around 9pm (they are open to midnight most nights). Line is out the door (really far), but to give the employees the benefit of the doubt, it moves pretty fast. Make sure you don't try everything all at once - get one or two (max) toppings at a time. Enjoy the FroYo.

  • Ligaya T.

    Some gal behind me in line admitted that she'd visited three times that day. Eating the divine combo of original yogo, fresh strawberries and graham crackers I thought that I too might be able to subsist on this stuff! It's super fresh with a bit of tang like real yogurt, uber creamy with a hint of sweetness. They also have a flavor of the week that they aren't afraid to experiment with, acai berry and pomegranate, to name a few. You can also grab a cup of brew (coffee and tea) as well. The place has been totally revamped and now looks gorgeous! Sweet job, Matt W and co! The walls are brightened up by local artist Bren Bataclan's colorful cartoons too, so cute. There's also a few tables out front to lick the day away in the sunshine or moonlight as they're open until midnight on the weekends!

    Berryline has extremely delicious frozen yogurt- if I was rating on taste alone, I would rate it above a 5. The only reason why it gets 4 stars is because of the size. The place is very small and gets crowed even if there's only a few people in the place. And there's about enough seating for 5 or 6 people, which is often full, so you have to find somewhere else if you want to sit and eat. But overall, I highly recommend Berryline if you want a quick froyo fix.

    The frozen yogurt isn't too cold/frozen and I like it because it's not overwhelmingly sweet.The original is one of my favorites and there's many toppings to choose from (I've only had the fruit though). Limited seating so I prefer to walk outside.

    Creamy, wonderful, delicious tart yogurt California-style. A healthier option for decadence in Harvard Square!

    The only way I will be able to remedy my indecision in the face of so many options will be to go back here eighty thousand times. I love love love this place. The staff is super friendly and understanding of my inability to choose toppings. All the fruit looked so fresh (it is - they will only offer it if it's ripe and recently sliced) and the other toppings so yummy (cocoa puffs, fruity pebbles, granola, oh my!) I just couldn't decide what direction to take my heavenly bowl of awesomeness. Ended up going with Oreo crumbles. My only complaint is that there were no sprinkles. Rainbow sprinkles make every day better. The portions are generous, and the yogurt tastes so unadulterated and and real. Healthy and cheap and delicious? Yes please.

    I'm a huge PInkberry fan, but I do like this place because the consistency and the tanginess of the "original tart" flavor is the same as Pinkberry's. (Red Mango is too creamy for my taste!) Mochi is usually my favorite topping though, and the mochi here is kind of weird. It's too squishy and you can almost feel the starchiness of it. However, the price of yogurt here is not as bad as Pinkberry's! But now that Pinkberry's in town, I wonder how the BerryLine chain will do...

    I love Berryline! They are especially nice and accommodating to people with allergies, such as myself. They have separate toppings below/behind the counter that they'll put on for you. I've always had good quality yogurt and good quality toppings there.

    Simple review. I HATE FROZEN YOGURT. I was talked into trying BerryLine by relatives we were staying with in Boston. After trying it I NOW LOVE FROZEN YOGURT! This place is amazing! Small flavor selection but they are awesome and unique. Unlimited toppings and a great variety to choose from. If you never have been to BerryLine it is a must, especially if you had bad frozen yogurt in the past.

  • Fatih U.

    This place does not need any additional reviews but I had to say it -- by far the best frozen yogurt I have ever had. You can top it with a bunch of fruit (berries, kiwi, mango, etc.) and other stuff like chocolate chips. It is very tasty yet packs little calories (5 ounces is ~ 130 calories). Definitely the tastiest and most guiltless desert one can have -- it may even be good for you...

  • Julie A.

    Maybe I need some fro-yo And sure, I know it's not cheap. But I've got a sick obsession, I'm seeing it in my dreams. I'm thinking of fresh fruit toppings, I'm getting myself a small. I'm here at work all day hoping Coconut's posted on the walls. What you want, girl, is BerryLine Think about it all the time, It's so hot out my brain is fried I just can't get it off my mind... Be caaaause Fro-yo, fro-yo, fro-yo is my drug. Fro-yo, fro-yo, fro-yo. Fro-yo, fro-yo, fro-yo is my drug. Fro-yo, fro-yo, fro-yo.

    I went to Berryline for the first time last night. I had heard of the Yo! Berry craze, and had no idea what it was about. I ordered an "original" since I'm not much of a fruit fan and got oreos and peanut butter chips in it. When I took the first bite, I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted just like yogurt that was frozen! Wait, that sounds stupid. But it didn't taste like ice cream at all, like most frozen yogurt does. Since it tasted like real yogurt, I kind of kicked myself for not mixing fruit in. I usually don't go for fruity desserts, but I actually really could have used some strawberries since mine ended up tasting like a Yo Crunch (which isn't bad, but not really refresing either). Either way, I really liked this healthy alternative!

  • Nate Y.

    I came here for the free fro-yogurt for Yelpers offered by Matt W., one of the owners. He tells me the various combination of flavored yogurts you can have, similar to soft-serve. I choose a half-and-half of black cherry and pomegranate. I mix in coconut and chocolate chips. I end up with a great tasting treat that's better for you. They offer fresh fruit and other add-ins and give copious amounts of it. I was fortunate enough to get it for free thanks to Matt, but I definitely plan to come back with money in hand. It's worth the trip.

  • Mary B.

    Frozen yogurt is the holy grail to me. I'm constantly on a quest to find fro yo that's healthy and tastes good. I was really excited to hear about Berryline and I would definitely recommend it for fellow yogurt enthusiasts. I had the original with strawberries and it was very nice. I could tell it originated from real yogurt, it had a hint of tang. My only wish was what they had their nutrition information available in the store or online. Edit 5/2008 - Yay! I went in a week or so ago and they had a huge poster with the nutritional information up. I had the ginger with pineapple this time - excellent and a good $ deal. My only qualm is that I keep managing to miss the mojito flavor! My own fault and should be remedied by more BL trips.

  • Rachel H.

    Who can argue with lines 5 or 10 yards out the door on any nice day? The treat matches Pinkberry for deliciousness but the independent, local feel is hard to beat. The staff seems to be having a good enough time, even when they're busy so they're a pleasure, too. If you're touring the square and seeking a treat for your stroll, it's worth the wait.

    I LOVE Berryline. Their velvety smooth frozen yogurt is so tart and tasty. I had my first experience with tart fro-yo at Berryline, and I immediately fell in love! I love getting it with fruit toppings. Makes you feel like you're eating healthy ice cream. (Not that there's anything wrong with ice cream, which I also love. ;-) ) And the service is great - always friendly. Mmmm..... But, uh oh, Pinkberry just opened. I have to try them because Berryline is the best fro-yo I've tried in Boston, so I'll have to see how they compare. Even if Pinkberry is better, I'll still love Berryline. :)

  • Cheryl D.

    Berry Line has the best plain yogurt. Friends and family on the West Coast and in Hawaii have taken me to various Yogurtlands, and while they have super cute spoons and a variety of flavors, the yogurt isn't as good as Berry Line's. Yogurtland might have a dozen flavors to Berry Line's three, but it seems like there's a trade-off for variety versus perfection of the plain frozen yogurt flavor. My only issues are 1) the number of people buying and eating easily outpaces the available space in the shop, and 2) while the plain yogurt base flavor is a perfect match with various fruity flavors, it just doesn't mesh well with decadent flavors like chocolate. Bottom line: original flavor with fruit!

    (4)

  • Leah M.

    Eh. not really impressed. Which is totally disappointing because everyone is going nuts over it. What sucks is I really like frozen yogurt, and I really like plain yogurt, but this just wasn't anything special. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't that amazing.

  • Janet L.

    we love the original yogurt ice cream with mochi. deducting one star because the other flavors are not as good and the shop smells moldy and there is no where to sit.

  • Casmine L.

    After a long stint in NYC indulging my buds' on Pinkberry and Red Mango, I was fearful that I would no longer have my sour frozen yogurt treat anymore upon moving back Boston. As the days passed in Boston, I kept thinking- why doesn't a hip, health conscious, ice cream eating city like Boston not have a real frozen yogurt place??? I was confused. Until one day, I stumbled upon Berryline by accident. It was the best accident I have ever had....Lychee is my favorite flavor and I like it with mangoes or fresh raspberry. YUM.

    (5)

  • Shelly R.

    Berryline, berryline. Beloved especially by sorority girls an their girlfriends--what's that about by the way?-- it's a cute place to grab some tangy yogurt, some classic or novel toppings, and do some people watching. Toppings vary from nostalgia-inducing sprinkles to chunks of mochi! The strongest combinations always involve fresh fruit, if you ask me. As a plus, the intoxicating smell of college fills the air, complete with servers who flirt and sing along to a soundtrack of beatles tunes. Get plenty of samples, which is always another perk!

    Explaining frozen yogurt to a European can present a surprising challenge. Too many meals at American chain restaurants has left him with the conviction that all American food has a "funny, synthetic taste." I'm sympathetic to the aversion to processed American food. But I'm all about tasty wholesome food -- and Berryline delivers a sweet treat that allows the tart freshness of the yogurt to come through because they're not trying to trick you into thinking you're eating ice-cream. Berryline believes that yogurt is delicious in its own right! It's not heavy or cloying or synthetic. Well, provided you go easy on the toppings. "Peanut butter yogurt? Americans put peanut butter in everything. What is peanut butter? You don't find this in Europe." Perhaps not. Berryline's plain fro-yo is very nice with just one fruit topping. Clean and simple, and not so scary for Europeans with timid taste buds.

    I frequent both the Harvard Sq. and the Mass Ave. locations, but I think we've hit this one just a bit more, so I'll start here. This BerryLine is tucked away on Arrow Street. I had no idea it was there til someone told me about the company and I found this location online! It's downstairs/around the corner from Arrow Street Crepes. The shop itself is really funky. Feels personal and "lived-in." It's cozy, too. Not many places to sit. But if the weather's nice, Gordon and I will take our treats to the little square near Quincy Street to enjoy. Let me begin by saying I enjoy BerryLine's original flavor yogurt more than Red Mango's. Red Mango is fine and all, but BerryLine is smoother. I also like their mochi better. It's a bit tougher, which I prefer. I usually get the Original flavor with a couple of fruit toppings and mochi. I like chocolate and ceral toppings and everything, but I'm a fruit fiend. And that's what keeps this from being a guilt-ridden indulgence. The fruit is always fresh and they're not stingy with the toppings. Gordon gets strawberries and chocolate chips every time. Every. Single. Time. He loves how they shop up the strawberries into little chunks so they're not unwieldy with a plastic spoon. I enjoy the special flavors, too, but mostly I like letting the toppings be the flavor. I've had Coconut, Tazo Chocolate and Caramel. BerryLine's great about letting you sample the yogurt and the toppings. I never would have tried mochi if the guy behind the counter hadn't offered a sample. SO glad he did. I can't imagine my life without it! We have the little stamp card (buy 10, get one free!) and we've gotten at least one free at this point. In fact, when Gordon recently left his wallet outside in the rain overnight, the one thing he made sure to dry out was the BerryLine card. After I moved back from CA, I was sad that we didn't have Pinkberry here, but I'm so glad BerryLine came to be. I love going there and I can't wait til the weather gets warmer so we can go more often!

    I was very skeptical about this place as I am not a big fan of regular yogurt, I didn't think I would like it. But I was wrong! When we entered, we were immediately greeted by the staff who asked if we wanted samples. The original was a creamier, sweeter version of regular yogurt, and I found myself liking it alot! Then the man behind the counter asked if we wanted to try the flavor of the week, in this case, mango. Sure we said, and I actually prefered it to the original. However, I did end up getting the original with chocolate chips on it. It was very tasty. There are a lot of topping options, ranging from fresh kiwis and strawberries to coconut, chocolate chips and fruity pebbles. I would go back again if in the area. Give it a try!

  • Alice C.

    I wish I knew more about Berry Line prior to setting a journey for it. See, I'm from California and we have Pinkberry there, thus, Berry Line wasn't very special to me. Berry Line's original is not as tart as Pinkberry's original. I like tart. I would have to say that Berry Line may be slightly cheaper. Either or doesn't matter because I was expecting ICE CREAM when I went to Berry Line so I think both Pinkberry and Berry Line is a waste of space in the stomach. Cotdamnit.

    Sometimes you must sucumb to the attractively delicious algarithm that the corporate chains seem to perfect. And, the equation definitely wins me over here. Though, I'm not a fan of their oreo flavor, a small original with mango and kiwi is starting to become a fixture on my quicklist of dessert options. Quick, refreshing, and never giving me the "ugh, I feel like I'm going to hurl I've eaten so much," it puts a cherry on the end of a nice day. I also like how they have a little iced water dispenser at the end of the counter and that they have a punch card for a free medium with two toppings after you get 10 of anything there. The staff are nice enough, though with the lines I've been seeing there lately, I understand that they're feeling the rush when it comes to getting the orders out within a reasonable amount of time. Don't be worried by that statement though, even with a line nearly to the door, me and mine were out of there in 10 minutes with our frozen treats. The only cons to this place, which let us be honest is really the hallmark of any frozen dessert eatery, is the small amount of seating options inside and lack of them outside. But, with the weather being as it is, why would you want to sit down when you could stroll along Mass Ave on a nice evening with a friend for some froyo and conversation?

    I went here for the first time Saturday night and got a small raspberry with kiwi and fell in love. I went back on Sunday and got a medium raspberry with kiwi and blackberries and was completely hooked. I'm an addict. I keep thinking ahead to getting my next fix, it might be time for an intervention soon! It says something when a place is tucked away in what is essentially an alley and there is a line out the door. Always. At 10 pm, at noon, it matters not, always a line. This is pure near guilt free pleasure!

  • Brian C.

    Before BerryLine, I never liked frozen yogurt. It was always too tart and lacked the creamy consistency I'm fond of from ice cream. But, BerryLine changed all that. It was really good. The texture was more like a richer, thicker soft serve. And the flavor was spot on - not too tart, not too sweet. The fresh toppings are just the cherry on top. (Ha. Get it? It's a pun.)

    (5)

  • Shannon M.

    My only disappointment was the limited toppings. I've been to other places with greater variety of toppings (including my favorite Captain Crunch), but the options they did have looked delicious and all their fruit options were fresh. I got the original flavor yogurt, and I added oreo, strawberries, and caramel truffles. Next time I would probably take away the truffles and either add a different fruit or more strawberries...they were perfect with the frozen yogurt.

  • Mai O.

    At last, a frozen yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt! I tried blackberry flavor and banana flavor so far, and I love that they have real fruit toppings. And these real fruits taste good, actually, not sour or anything! Usually the problem with fruits toppings are that icecream or frozen yogurt is so sweet and/or fruits are sour, so fruits end up tasting bad. I am glad their fruits go well with their frozen yogurt! And while it tastes like real yogurt, it also tastes like real fruit (blackberry flavor tastes like real blackberry, and banana flavor tastes like real banana). My personal favorite way to eat here is to get a small cup and eat it outside under the apple trees next to the store, sitting on the curb side.

    (5)

  • Ina C.

    I tried the new cherry mochi topping they had...... I'm a huge fan of BerryLine, but this mochi was no good. :( Very dry, almost crumbly. Try Yo! Berry for some real mochi. But other than that, I still love the prices, love the product and love the feeling of this place.

    Fro- Yo!!!!!! I have been here for a year, and I did not know we had this in Boston. Summer has come, it's 80 degrees and all I am dreaming about is Pinkberry, so out of desperation, I yelped Frozen Yogurt in Boston to see if I am just being silly and there it is! BerryLine! Great, delicious taste, normally priced, great toppings, even Lychee and Coconut! Yum! Road my bike three miles to get here, and boy was it awesome! They even opened one up near the Fenway right near my school! Oh God, I wanted to go back that night.. Thank you Berry Line, I am addicted. It's a little pricey, and thats why I changed it to 4 stars. Sorry.

  • Grace S.

    Pros: Delish frozen yogurt, excellent, fesh toppings. Cons: They change their flavors every so often (nice when a good one comes in, sad when a good one goes out). And long as hell lines at night and in the summer. Balance: PROS BOTTOM LINE: Great fro-yo in Harvard Square at a place that feels like a homegrown ice cream shop, screen door and all. (I might even like it better than Red Mango and Pinkberry, shhhhh.)

    I love love love BerryLine! This is the only one I have been to. It is about 3 mins from my house so I have been here more times than I'd like to admit. The regular fro-yo flavor is pitch perfect - not too sweet and not too tart. I have also been impressed with the rotation of awesome 'guest star' flavors - my favorites (so far) are honey graham and watermelon. The list of toppings is extensive and the topping portions are generous. Almost any time you go - there's a line, but it moves quickly and I guarantee it is worth the wait. The only thing I don't absolutely love about this particular BerryLine location is some of the staff. A couple, in particular, have serious attitudes and act as if they can't be bothered . It's fro-yo people, a smile wouldn't kill you. But there was a new guy working there when I stopped in yesterday and he was very pleasant. Bottom line: BerryLine is delicious - high on taste and toppings and low on guilt.

  • Dara C.

    Since my original review long, long ago, I have only eaten more BerryLine. There is a location at Fenway, a couple short stops from my apartment in Brookline. New flavors (mochi! rose petal!) and dozens of toppings from fresh fruit to Fruity Pebbles, Reese's peanut butter cups to chocolate shavings make this place pretty much the greatest thing since man discovered he could freeze dairy products and eat them. Hell, this pace is better than milk itself. Their yo' is super tangy tasting, light, yogurty, and kicks the ass of Pinkberry. (Which I hear is coming to Harvard Square? Back off my shit, Stinkberry.) In short. I love BerryLine. BerryLine loves me. We're getting married, don't you know.

  • Brandon T.

    Honestly up there with some of the best! Was brought here to be shown that Pink berry has competition in the fro-yo game. Glad I came, although I don't care for several of the flavors other than the original. Next time i'm in the area, I will drop in to try it again.

  • Chris M.

    fro-yo? fo-sho! At some point during the yelp crawl, I was escorted away from the scheduled stops and made a pit stop at Berryline. (Thanks Amanda H.!) After 4 hours of drinking, its good to get something in your stomach. Now I got to try out the apple cinnamon and the regular yogurt. Trying to be adventurous, I got pineapples and mangos in my yogurt (remember i was drunk). I think my reasoning was, pineapples are delicious (and make me giggle) and i like mango smoothies, so why not? It turned out to be ok, and I got to tell new yelp friends of why i don't eat pineapples all the time (the whole induced laughter thing). It was really good, simple, and whenever you can mix in your mixin's it makes for a happy day. Plus going with yogurt is way better on the waist line than getting some ungodly creatation of coldstone. If I find myself strolling through harvard square and want a cool treat, i'll definitely swing by this place again.

  • Johnna M.

    It's delicious, It's healthy, It's breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. I love me some BerryLine. For many years I would scorn my NYC friends for their Pinkberries and tastyDelights, and now I have a low calorie, frozen yogurt place of my very own. I am only brave enough to try the original flavor but that with kiwi, strawberry, and mango is heaven. The atmosphere is more hippy dippy than the bizarre, "did I land in a Japanamation video?" feel you get at most of these types of places, so that is a little sad. Great portions and great staff!

  • Hisham K.

    This is the best fro yo I've ever had in my life. My friend Kate first introduced it to me last August, and now that the glorious spring is here, I have rekindled my love affair with Berryline. Friendly staff and great service are the toppings to an excellent fro yo experience. This place is usually packed, it's a very small space, but don't be shy about sitting outside on the sidewalk or on the nearby garden. You know how sometimes you go to a store and you get that little card? You know what I'm talking about, that one card where they stamp every time you buy something there, and when you get 10 stamps you get a free meal / ice cream cone / dessert? At most places, you get the card, but THAT sale doesn't count. You get your first stamp the next time you visit. Not with Berryline - you automatically get your first stamp on the spot! I've got four stamps already and it's only been two days! I love this place.

  • Blair T.

    I've never been the type to go get ice cream or frozen yogurt in the middle of the day. I have no problem slathering my dinner entrees in butter, or smothering my bacon turkey club sandwich in several layers of mayonnaise, but a mid-day frozen yogurt run? Too sinful. I know, I know. I didn't say it made any sense. WELL. Those days are over, friends. I just went to BerryLine on a whim, and while I don't want to be over-dramatic about this, I just inhaled what was probably the single greatest thing I've ever tasted. I got the Nutella yogurt with blackberries and strawberries, and there was a total foodgasm in my mouth. I was pleasantly shocked by how fresh and pretty the berries were--not the still semi-frozen mini berries I'd expected to find. I'm currently calculating what exercise I can do between now and dinner to justify going back tonight.

  • Brittney S.

    I really like their original yogurt, but the flavored yogurts are hit and miss. The strawberry was sort of bland and the lemon basil had huge potential but was overly bitter and not lemon-y enough. The quality of fruit toppings are also hit and miss. It is, however, right on my route between work and home and great for a little something sweet when I need it.

  • Cleopatra P.

    BerryLine has done the near-impossible--they've made me appreciate, and even like frozen yogurt. Is it possible that for most of my life I've simply been eating (and mostly avoiding) an artificially-enhanced, overly-sweetened version of the concoction that BerryLine has perfected? Subtle would be a good word to describe the frozen yogurt here, which is also smooth, mellow, tangy and has a unique, almost oat-like aftertaste. There are a decent array of toppings on hand (from fresh fruit to Reese's Pieces) and usually two flavors on tap in addition to the classic "plain" option. If you're into counting calories or any of that jazz, BerryLine's plain frozen yogurt is also ridiculously guilt-free, at 25 calories per ounce. The prices here can veer into splurge territory for those of us who are a bit cheap (I pay $3.50 with tax for a medium, which, depending on who's dishing it out can be surprisingly small), but BerryLine makes for a great occasional treat.

    See my other BerryLine review and add: + Orange tart froyo?! It's the original PLUS real oranges added for flavor. Add raspberries for maximum deliciousness. + Beyond pleasant staff that is willing to assist three raucous Yelpers in their pursuit of the perfect combo of froyo flavors and toppings. (They even served with a true smile when a pile of kids came in at 11:00 pm...closing time.) + Dan C. paying! BerryLine is perfection in a cup.

    My favorite meal: a dinner crepe at Arrow Street Crepes, then Berryline just around the corner for dessert. I love how there are new flavors every time I go there, it's like a surprise! I always get 2 toppings: 1 fruit and one crunchy thing, like granola of toffee or graham cracker. Plus, once you buy 10 you get one free with their little punch card! I have already done that a couple times, it's really that good! Relatively healthy, too

  • Kat H.

    How can I eat ice cream again, knowing that this paradise exists? I didn't want to have to run to make the next commuter rail back to Beverly, so decided to kill the next hour and a half by staying on the red line and making my way to Berryline. I wish I had the time to actually sit down in the shop (sorta got distracted by the jewelry & book shops along the way), but after tasting the original and coconut, I'm definitely coming back. Super fresh assortment of fruit, and their small was the perfect size. Spent a good while just staring at the menu--I think I already have my next two or three trips all planned out, and can't wait to get back on the next super-sunny day. Oh, and I still ended up running to catch the commuter rail--made it on as it was pulling away. But it was worth it!

    I never crave sweets. If it were socially acceptable, I would order a lamb chop at the end of my meal. I find most desserts and ice creams achingly sugary, and rarely sample more than a couple spoons. BerryLine ended my apathy for desserts. Enough cannot be said of the incredible original yogurt. So so tangy and delicious. This isn't yogurt trying to be lowfat ice cream, it's a proud yogurt whose character shines through. The fruit yogurts are okay, but they've got nothing on the tart original. I ate an entire cup, unprecedented for me, and this after a belly-busting kebab dinner. The many toppings are charmingly classified as either "crunchy" or "fruity." The guys who work there are dolls and will let you try anything you want. The original is delicious with blueberries and granola, but adornment is not necessary. I would eat a bucket of this ambrosia plain.

    How do you screw up Oreo yogurt? This place is beyond awful! I asked for a large Oreo and then before I could ask for a cone, the guy started to fill it up. I asked for a cone and the guy just stuck a cone on the top of the yogurt. The yogurt tasted like some kinda plant with dirt on top. If you are a frozen yogurt lover avoid this place. Head down the street to Pinkberry for a real treat.

    I was looking for Arrow St Crepes, which must have closed eons ago after I graduated, but I was nonetheless thrilled with its replacement. The portions were pretty generous, and the layout was adorable and clever despite the limited space. Most customers opt to stand outside to eat when they come in groups, so I suggest that BerryLine get a big garbage can because we ended up having to dump our cups into a nearby apartment's dumpster...

I particularly enjoy when they have banana on tap, but the original, mango, blueberry and passion fruit aren't bad options either. The toppings are always the most difficult part of this journey. Fresh fruit (Strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, etc) chocolate, coconut and yogurt chips--the creamy chocolate chip. I could go on for days. I suggest having a plan when you arrive, or you will find yourself quickly panicking when the pretty efficient staff asks you what you would like and you have only finished glancing at the flavors. Staff also has no problem letting you sample the flavors, even when there is a line out the door. Also, make sure you grab a frequent buyer's card. You will be back. Trust me.

    Great frozen yogurt & I can walk there. I love the original with blueberries & kiwi. The frozen yogurt is tasty, the fruit is fresh, the staff is friendly, the place is clean, and I've never had a wait longer than 10 minutes when I've gone (and most of the time, much less wait time than that). Someone who knows frozen yogurt better than I do might be more judgmental, but I've been a very happy customer.

    Cheap, healthy, delicious. Need I say more? Okay I will. I went to JP licks and lizzie's for about 4 weeks...until I found BerryLine. My world was changed. It's actually good for you!! And there's so many toppings-real fruit or yummy junk like Oreo and Heath bar! My choice on any hot, or even cold, day!

    Mochi is a nice unexpected topping. Recently, I had their black cherry fro-yo and thought it to be perfect. At around $2 for a small cup, it's a fantastic sweet deal. To quote Yelp - "That was fun, let's go again!"

    Personally I think the 5 minute walk from Harvard Station to BerryLine feels awfully far when it's 100F outside and you are bringing two guests who have never had frozen yogurt before. Luckily the guests liked the yogurt, and so did I, as always. Having been to Pinkberry once (ugh evil capitalist conglomerate), BerryLine is definitely worth the walk. Their yogurts have much better taste and consistency, and the prices are better depending on what you get. If you are into the yogurt + 3 toppings combination like me, you are definitely better off at BerryLine. So why 4 stars? Well, I had a feeling that service had been inconsistent these days, and when we went there, my friends didn't really get the pleasant, idiot-friendly explanation of the workings of frozen yogurt I had secretly hoped for. However, the true setback is the quality of the mochi. For some reason their consistency and taste is off these days. It's been like this the last 3-4 times I have come to this BerryLine, and somehow their mochi are just not as soft anymore. Unfortunate. Everything else is awesome! The quality of the fruit is always top-notch and the location looks as cute as always.

    You're a fool and lack a good palate if you like the sugary conglomerate Pinkberry's yogurt over this place. Now that I've offended some Yelpers, lemme tell some of the other Yelpers why they should do here. If you're looking for good fro-yo in Boston, this is the place to go. One bite into the yogurt and you will find that the texture is smooth and the taste is sweet but sour. I applaud the effort to come up with original flovors, throw them at the wall and see what sticks. I've had the pleasure of trying the Coconut and Nutella for instance and being surprised at how well that flavor and taste is drawn out throughout the yogurt. Now this place isn't better than the West Coast froyo establishments (hence one star removed) but this is great East Coast froyo. Furthermore, the place is a bit...pricey for froyo. Understandable since the quality is better and they need to stay in business versus the diluted, sugar laden conglomerates of Pinkberry and Red Mango. Furthermore, their prices are, relative to their competitors better--more bang for the buck from this place. Do endorse this local establishment. I appreciate the Harvard and MIT student collaboration to start this place being an MIT alum myself. Thumbs up!

    Their tagline is "Frozen Yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt!" (or something to that effect), which as a concept sounds disappointing at best and downright icky at worst. I mean seriously, you want your frozen yogurt to taste as close to real ice cream as possible without the unfortunate effect of making you fat. But here's the thing, it's expensive, it wreaks of trendiness, and... it's flippin' delicious. The first time I tried it my pallet was confused, but I left the charming little shop 10 bucks poorer and strangely compelled to come back for more. Ever since, I have to drop by every time I'm in Cambridge. Two thumbs up!

    I used to work literally across the street from this place, which was dangerously healthy (or unhealthy....Is froyo actually healthy?). Anyway, the product is good. The new flavor of the week is always interesting, like the guava frozen yogurt that I still can't quite get out of my mind and sob a little if I spend too much time thinking about how I won't have it again. The fruit is pretty much always fresh and nicely chopped up into bite-sized pieces. But the service/clientele can really suck. Snooty, preppy, loud, obnoxious, entitled, mindlessly self-involved Harvard kids frequent this place at all hours of the sunset (when school's out) and the tiny space gets jam-packed without a single Urban Outfitter-attired body willing to just move the f**k over 2 inches so you can get your order. And it doesn't help that the place is often staffed by the exact same types of people, so no "treat the customer well" treatment here unless you happen to be the dude's buddy and know what Professor Edgarton meant in last week's chem lecture. That is probably why, since moving less than a mile away, I have never felt the need to come back here.

    The other night I was listening to Bob Seger and smoking a gigantic bong. I was like, "I just want to feel like Seger does when he rides his motorcycle" So I did the the less cool version of it and rode my Vespa down the street to Berry Line, ordered a pint of FACEMELTING YOGURTS and then rode back home while listening to Bob Seger and thinking of movies to watch while I pounded Berry Line that I just got. Then I was like "Home Alone!" but I figured that's really a seasonal movie and I should watch something funny like Waynes' World. So I put on Wayne's World when I got home and ate a half a pint of Berry Line. It made my face melt off because it was so awesome. I want to eat it, like all of the time.

    I absolutely love the remote back-street alley way location of a yogurt shop. It's an adorable place and even though it is not self-serve, they are generous on their toppings. Since this is the only frozen yogurt place I've tried in Boston, I cannot give much critique, but it is definitely one of the better places I've tried on the east coast. For some reason, I remember their frozen yogurt having a creamy texture of ice cream (I'm not sure if it's a good thing?)

    I'm not sure how I survived before finding BerryLine. After spending a few weeks at Harvard without frozen yogurt, I was so excited when I heard there was a store on campus from a friend. I immediately went to try it out, and I was pleasantly surprised! BerryLine has a unique feel - it definetly stands out from typical fro-yo joints. I liked the variety of flavors including rose, cranberry, and honey graham. The toppings were also plentiful and the fruit was very fresh. I'm so happy that I found this place!

  • Ellen L.

    went here on a weekday at 6pm and found the place packed! (that's always a good sign that a place is good) I jumped in line and asked for a sample of lychee froyo and they promptly offered a little sample of it. I wasn't a giant fan and decided to go with the original. Both were quite good, but lychee just wasn't for me. Anyways, I was a little disappointed when I asked for raspberries and mangoes and I was told they were out of raspberries.... i decided to go with blackberries instead. The fruits were both sweet and complementary to the froyo. four stars and a big thumbs up.

  • Arestia R.

    It comes DAMN close to my beloved Pinkberry in LA. But SSHHHHH. Don't tell anyone, but it's not actually frozen yogurt - not a culture in sight, baby. Still, I love this frozen treat because the tangy, satisfying treat mixed with fresh fruit or other wonderful toppings leaves me completely satisfied and wanting more all in one fell swoop. And the staff is just plain rad. They're hip and cool and don't take themselves too seriously. Such a great little Boston addition.

  • Emily S.

    I've done a pretty thorough tasting around of the many tart fro-yo options in Boston and NYC. BerryLine is still my top contender, on the basis of taste, generous toppings, and friendly vibe. I love the Harvard Square location best...probably because it is the most quaint and was the site of my first ever tart fro-yo experience (which, interestingly, was not amazing, but only because I had yet to acquire the taste for it).

    I went back to BerryLine to give it a second try...and again I was sorely disappointed. The mochi was still stale however this time around they offered the option of sampling the mochi prior to the purchase. Is it that hard to have chewy delicious mochi that doesn't taste stale? Evidently. That being said - I like how they offered a pint of froyo now - although it is pricey. Like the glutton I am I ordered the pint with strawberries and mochi (stale) - worst idea ever considering halfway through the pint (sharing with a friend) I felt like I wanted to hurl.

    Am I the only one who doesn't get it? I think maybe my taste buds are not buds with BerryLine's offering.

Sorry for the negative review...I know you guys have lots and lots of fans...

  • G S.

    I didn't think BerryLine had enough reviews so I figured I should add one. First off..I'm not a fan of frozen treats at all. BUT I lovelovelove BerryLine. I love to mix different toppings into the original frozen yogurt, but my favorite is when they offer Fruity Pebbles. Who the eff doesn't want fruity pebbles in their frozen yogurt? Sure it makes me feel like a fat kid but who cares? It's freakin' tasty.

    Sometimes B wakes up, turns to me and says, "I want pinkberry." So, I roll over and... oh me. I realize that he is actually referring to the tangy, cool frozen yogurt product that we enjoyed in NYC. Low and behold, Yelp points me to Berryline and all is well. B rad and I hit up the cute little shoppe one fine evening and stood in the line (that went out the door) full of other peeps eager for a creamy probiotic confection. If you are not on your toes, the pressure can build when it is your turn to order and you haven't quite decided what to get. The toppings really need to be scoped out, unless you can read the sign up by the counter with the choices. Are you fruity or more of a candy ass? Tough call. How about a combo? I wanted kiwi and chocolate. No dice player! The young chapling at the counter said they were all out of choco-chips. THE HORROR!! All fruity for me then. I selected the original yogurt flavor with luscious kiwi and pineapple. I like my fruit like I like my teenage boys, fresh and ripe. Oh and it was! They had other yogurt flavors, blueberry and cranberry that evening. I was tempted by these choices, but the original tangy flavor compliments bold fruitiness so well. My B also chose original and selected reeses pieces and oreo. I was so proud. The small size was perfecto and two overflowing topping choices hit the spot for I didn't have any dinner that evening. 'Tis okay. If I don't have my required daily intake of sweetness...me go crazzzzzzzzy! The prices are cheaper than the Pinkberry and the quality to me was just as good. Berryline is BRADGET approved. teee heeee awww precious.

    To begin, I have been obsessed with Pinkberry ever since the first one opened in LA (I had it while visiting friends). Not only do these guys give a delicious array of yogurts flavors to choose from, but the selection of toppings is insane. Fortunately I am incredibly boring and usually go with the tried and true original + strawberries. Even in this, they make sure to pile the strawberries mile high and only count it as one topping. Always super friendly, it's a delight to visit this shop--and they have a loyalty card!

    Berryline!! There's nothing new I can add after 185 other reviews, but I will add that I heart Berryline. I looooooove ice cream, but it's an addiction that quickly spirals out of control if indulged too often. Which is where Berryline comes in. The yogurt is so low calorie that I can pretty much eat it whenever I want! Whoo hoo! I've never felt like I'm compromising quality and taste for the lack of calories though. The fruit toppings are amazingly fresh and I like to add Oreos to my strawberries for a special treat. Stop in this adorable store TODAY and celebrate the end of summer.

    i have been to my fair share of REAL frozen yogurt places. in chicago, new york and LA. Berry Line is the BEST because they don't just have standard regular yogurt or green tea flavors.

    I. LOVE. BERRY LINE. I can't get enough. It's in a really cute neighborhood, the yogurt is FANTASTIC (i especially love mango, banana, and original!) and they have a LOT of toppings to choose from. Even though it is an hour trip from my house, I will forever visit them when I have time and need some yogurt in my life. Plus, it is 25 calories an ounce!

  • Lauren W.

    I have been trying to get to BerryLine ever since they opened, almost two years ago. My coworkers and I took a lunch break trip to BerryLine back in June and we have been addicted ever since! The first trip one of my colleagues helped herself to seconds because she loved the first one so much! Ever since that fateful day I get a medium instead of a small because it makes my belly very happy, I just "suffer" through the fullness. I love all of the toppings that they have! The fruit is so fresh and beautiful! You can't go wrong with one of their candies/cookies either. I recently had frozen yogurt at a new yogurt place in Boston, by MGH, and it was a poor attempt at the BerryLine original flavor. It appears that no one can match the natural, tart yogurt taste that BerryLine has achieved. I haven't been able to try one of their flavored yogurts yet, I enjoy the original too much to venture! I am typically an ice cream fanatic but I feel that my life is now complete thanks to BerryLine's healthy option over my ice cream. I'll give up the ice cream any day for this yogurt!

    The frozen yogurt here is super tasty. I went there a few days ago and loved it. However, I can't give it a full five stars because I went for strawberry and kiwi topping and my chunks of kiwi CRUNCHED, like an apple, that is just not right. If kiwis weren't in season right now I might give them the benefit of the doubt, but they are totally in season. I'm still going back, but I'm just enjoying my super delicious tangy yogurt sans toppings next time.

    I had this ongoing froyo craze for the past many years. I'd get froyo at least once a week (usually 3x), unless I'm traveling abroad. So believe me when I say, this is THE best froyo in all my experiences froyo hunting in Boston/Cambridge/suburbs! If you are in Harvard square, stop by and get a micro, or just sample a flavor. You won't be disappointed. If you don't like their available flavors, or want to exercise the small amount of calories you just consumed, walk up to their Porter Square location for more varieties. Both locations are awesome, and the two have different flavors, so if you are not satisfied, or just want more, go for it! The best part is, they have homemade cake toppings. My favorite so far is the cheesecake bites. Cheesecake with coconut flakes + froyo...how can anyone resist?!?!

    I don't know what happened, but their mochi quality has dropped drastically, which was their biggest selling point for me. The first time, delicious, fresh, chewy mochi that felt like solid clouds. The second time, it was much harder, and tasted like it had been out for a couple of days, a huge cry from what I had come to expect. I held off on an update, as I figured it may have just been a bad batch, but a third time and the same problem occurred. As such, BerryLine will lose a star as I'll have to find a new mochi froyo spot to satisfy my craves. The froyo at least was consistently good the other times, and the service too, so still a decent hipster froyo place in my books.

    Forever loyal to Berryline. Even when there's other options such as Yogurtland (now closed) or Pinkberry in Harvard square, Berryline will always be my go to. Great, fresh toppings. Interesting flavors on rotation, even though I always stick to the original. Friendly staff and great vibe. The space is super small, which doesn't leave to too much seating. However, the rocks/sidewalk outside make decent temporary seating when weather is nice.

  • Kimmy U.

    BerryLine has a great plain tart flavor! That is my go to at any non-self serve yogurt place. I usually go for Pink Berry because there's more of them around me and I was really sad when the Berry Line closed on Newbury right when I moved here! Lucky for me, I rekindled the Berryline fire this past week and remembered how delicious the plain tart is. (I hope all is forgiven.. and you'll take me back) I also like that the shop also has a local feel with written menus and the little nook it occupies on a small street. I usually get fruit toppings on plain tart- strawberries and blackberries are my favorite. Their fruit is pretty fresh. But they also have different kinds of chocolate, brownies, granola, mochi, etc. 1 topping is one price, and multi toppings are another price. I don't like loading mine up, so I think one topping is sufficient. They also have a stamp card, so take advantage!

  • Denise A.

    This is hands-down my favorite fro-yo place in town. The basic flavor is just tart enough without being too sweet or too sour. The place is adorable, a little nook on arrow street just behind Zenniken's. There's a bit of space for people to sit down inside but if you're lucky and it's a beautiful day out there are a few steps around where you can sit and enjoy your fro-yo. BerryLine just hits it out of the park with everything. Their basic flavor is fantastic but they also have rotating and seasonal flavors for you to try out. Different berryline locations sometimes have different flavors so you could shop around too. I tried their vanilla cardamom yesterday which was fantastic. Their toppings are also where they shine. They have a vast array of toppings including locally made mochi, brownies, and cheesecake toppings. Their fruits are always fresh and in fact there was a point in my life when berryline supplied the main source of vitamin c in my life. There's a set price for fro-yo, fro-yo+1 topping, and fro-yo + multiple toppings. Honestly, if you're looking for a froyo fix (or any cold dessert craving) in Harvard Square, skip the froyo chains and come here for a truly local and tasty experience.

    I am not a big fan of frozen yogurt and I never understood why people are so crazy about it... Until I tried this place. Unlike most frozen yogurt places, BerryLine uses fresh fruits. Also, their frozen yogurt is neither too sweet, nor too sour. It is very nice and refreshing. They are pretty generous with toppings, too.

    This quaint little Froyo store is easy to miss, which is really unfortunate because their offerings are great. Their frozen yogurt flavors are delicious, original, and refreshing and their toppings are varied, fresh, and plentiful enough to satisfy any craving that one could have. Their staff is patient and friendly and makes ordering your treat a breeze. Seating is limited, and not ideal for people watching, but the store itself has a nice ambiance. Pricing is very reasonable, especially given the nearby competition. Would definitely recommend for those seeking flavorful froyo without facing the hordes of tourists in Harvard Square

    Back during my sophomore year in college, I was enrolled in a class that I didn't need and i really wasn't feeling. We had a take-home midterm and as i was going through the $100 book I just bought for the class (which i returned the next day) to answer the first question, I decided this wasn't going to happen. This class was being dropped and I was going to BerryLine, sonnnnnn. Went down exactly like that. This was a time before BerryLine had any other locations (though now they're just down to Harvard and Porter (I think?) so I guess the situation is the same more or less) so my roommates and I dragged our asses to Harvard Square from Northeastern, waiting for the 1 in the freezing cold, grabbing our BerryLine, and then sprinting back to the bus in order to get the "transfer". It was all worth it for that B-Line. The yogurt is nice and tart. Some of the flavored yogurts are fantastic (Nutella, apple cinnamon), in others, the flavor is barely perceptible. The original is always good though and the toppings are fresh. The pricing is fair and I find the micro and small sizes with a topping or two to be satisfying. I don't go to BerryLine as often as I did in college, when making a quick run to Harvard Sq just for B-Line ALWAYS in the freezing cold, never in the warmer months, was a ritual for us, but when I do now I'm never disappointed.

    16 Handles? Nope. Pinkberry? No way. Yogurtland? Um, No. BerryLine? YES, YES, YES, YES. I discovered BerryLine a few years ago, when I came on a day trip to the Boston area from school out in Western Mass. After College, a few of my friends lived in the area, and I had the pleasure of visiting BerryLine whenever I came to visit them. Ever since I moved here, I have had the perk of living within walking distance of two of these, but have only been able to make it to BerryLine three times! What I love about this place is that the menu rotates and even though this is the case, you just *know* you will always have an amazing option; maybe one week it will be oreo, and another will be banana, but regardless of how different they are, you just know they will be equally as delicious. The mochi topping is also a plus... I love mochi, and getting it with frozen yogurt is something I always look forward to. If you're around and you want ice cream/frozen yogurt, forget JP Licks, forget Yogurtland, and come here. It's a little bit out of the way, but that's with good reason -- it's so good that you're always going to want more, which is why you'll appreciate the extra walk!

    Best froyo in Harvard Square! The froyo is thick and creamy and comes in 4 sizes. The toppings are also the best in the square in terms of freshness and taste, especially the mochi! Free wifi but seating area may be hard to find. Only downside is that their froyo is a tad more expensive than other shops.

  • Ayelet R.

    About two years ago while in Jerusalem, I had a cup of goat milk frozen yogurt that pretty much rocked my world and completely changed my perspective on this dessert. Unfortunately, after that, I had never found one that lived up to it. I went to plenty of different places that claim to have superb froyo, and sure, many were delicious, but none were magical. I was pretty much ready to conclude that cow milk yogurt just can't compare. Then I figured I should give BerryLine a chance. Was the froyo as good as the initial goat milk contender? Well, not exactly. Was it the closest thing to that I've found anywhere else? Yep. And hey, that pretty much means it's the best froyo in Boston by a long shot. I opted for the small watermelon-original swirl with mochi. The watermelon half was mild and refreshing but the original flavor was what really won me over. I guess basic really is beautiful. Many froyos have tried, but few quite attain the perfect balance of sweet and tart that BerryLine produces. Yeah, I'm sure their rotating flavor are intriguing and all, but I can't wait to get my hands on a cup of their pure original flavor. I had high hopes for their mochi since I saw that they make it in-house, and while I loved the texture (somehow fluffy and chewy at the same time), something was kind of off in the taste, like there was something a little bitter about it. I found myself pushing the mochi aside to get to more of the delicious yogurt. The place is really cute, albeit tiny, and when I came in I hardly had enough space to stand in line. They do have really friendly staff and free wifi! I also secretly prefer places that make your froyo for you over self-serve, since they make it so much more nicely and balanced than when I try to do it myself. BerryLine, I gotta admit, you definitely live up to the hype.

    We thought frozen yogurt was just all right until we tried Berry Line. With it's rotating list of original flavors (lavender honey, raspberry fudge, and Taza chocolate) and it's homemade toppings (cheesecake and brownie bites), we are never disappointed by the warm and cozy frozen yogurt shop. Get a Berry Line loyalty card, and you will be set.

Great prices, fresh toppings. Good service! Berryline please come expand in Madison, WI!

    Best froyo option in Boston/Cambridge area using local seasonal products for fresh flavors! You must try their homemade brownies. I have tried many available options for frozen yogurt in Greater Boston and found that BerryLine consistently tops all their competitors. Here is my ranking for the froyo venues I have tried out: 1) Berryline--both Arrow St. and Mass Ave locations 2) Pinkberry 3) Red Mango 4) Yogurtland 5) JP Licks 6) Froyo World 7) Emack & Bolio's 8) UFood Grill 9) Mixx (I am never going back to Mixx because the staff ordered me to scoop back the froyo (about two sample cups) I wasted by dropping on the machine tray when self-serving. Her reasoning was that customers must pay by weight.)

    BerryLine, you are my heart. Maybe that's why I have such an icy-cold heart, but for you I burn. You were my first taste of frozen yogurt that tastes like yogurt that's been frozen, and I've never given soft serve a second thought. Since my first visit so many years ago, I've been around the world and sampled my fair share of other tart yogurts. I've even made my own, trying to replicate the BL flavor, but there is just no duplicate and no substitute. BL is the original and the best, with just the right mix of smooth, tart, sweet, and creamy. They rotate monthly flavors, and I like trying them, but I always get the original because it's just so perfect. It's rare for a first love to last, and when it happens, it must be cherished. BerryLine, I will always come home to you in this adorable little yogurt shack.

    By far the best frozen yoghurt in Harvard square. Or maybe anywhere ever. Great study break. The hot chocolate there from Taza is good too although not always available. They have cool flavors and it tastes much more real than the other froyo places! Get the mochi on anything..!

    Berryline is my favorite froyo place in Boston/Cambridge. A small shop located on Arrow street below Zinnekin's, it can be easy to miss, save for the lines that are usually out the door (especially during the summer!). There's something about Berryline's froyo that makes it so special -- the perfect balance between the tartness and sweetness? The smooth consistency? I am not sure, but I am such a fan! They have a lot of topping options, including many fresh fruits like raspberries/strawberries/blueberries/blackberries, and so many flavors a year that they rotate around, three at a time. You can try samples of the new flavors before purchasing. I have always stuck with the original though -- you can't go wrong with that! Now, they have 4 different size cups, the new addition being the micro, which is great for when you want a really quick and relatively cheap froyo fix. You can also order pints for larger group events. Tip: get a stamp card for a free froyo after your 10th purchase!

    I love frozen yogurt, as much as I love non-frozen yogurt. It's rich and tangy, and needs only a little something to sweeten it up to make the perfect dessert. I don't like most fro-yo places, especially the ones that sell by weight. I've been to places that use vanilla yogurt that tastes pretty supermarket-y in their original tang flavor. Other places like Pinkberry and Red Mango are too sweet. Berryline is the only place where the yogurt just tastes like good, tangy yogurt. It doesn't seem like a lot to ask but apparently it is. They have free honey and seasonal fruits. When available, the plain yogurt with figs and honey is amazing. One thing to note, their flavored yogurts tend to be subtle; like the original with a hint of lavender, or raspberry or whatever. The plain yogurt flavor will always come through pretty strong. I love it, but it might be disappointing for some people.

    Excellent froyo, I recommend the granola toppings and plain flavor. It's more tart than sweet. They're good about letting you sample other flavors too so do try that if you don't want a regular flavor, though the regular flavor is excellent.

    My 50th review will be for BerryLine! Yay~ Had their raspberry froyo+strawberry topping. Friend had the coffee oreo+blueberry. I do like the tartyness of their froyo, has a more creamy texture compared to mixx, and it's less watered down. Combo of the fruits for both of us complimented well with the froyo flavor. The thing with BerryLine though is it's not self service which is something I enjoyed through mixx. Also the toppings were mediocre but I shouldn't demand much with only 3 flavors available and there's only so many toppings that'll go well with a froyo :P I also don't like the payment system where you pay different prices if you get no toppings, 1 topping, or greater than 1 topping. If I'm gonna get toppings, i'd get more than 1 but now that there's price restrictions to get more, I'm more inclined to stick with one :P Free wifi, upbeat music, cool cashier. Nice place for dessert after filling yourself over at Lesley Uni's mini-J-town.

    I love this place and I don't even live in Boston. Luckily I have a lot of friends that do. Whenever I visit I force them to come here (not really since they love this place too) and get froyo. Things I love about them: - They have awesome flavors that are simple but just GOOD. like the plain tart and the chocolate. Also they aren't cloyingly sweet. Just the right balance. And it isn't GRAINY which is one of my pet peeves for froyo. - They are generous with the toppings. I usually get walnuts or fruit and they gave enough so that each bite got some topping (you know I strategize to get this) - The prices are super affordable. As a recent grad I appreciate the affordable price and the generous serving sizes. I have to hold my self back from order a larger and larger size each time. Next time I might go for a biggie, it's that good. I feel like this place should be the golden standard for all fro yo places. Possibly my favorite yogurt place. Makes me almost wish I lived in Boston. YOU NEED TO GO HERE. Wish they would open an nyc outpost but then they'd probably get mobbed.

    Can't believe I still haven't reviewed this place. The frozen yogurt itself is very light, creamy. Unlike other places you don't loose the actual yogurt flavor. I had the chocolate cake flavor and it was so unexpectedly good. Their toppings are super fresh. Berryline is very friendly and quaint, and makes for a great froyo experience!

  • Brian L.

    I'm not much of a froyo fan, but I engaged in some BerryLine action because that's what everyone else was doing (peer pressure). We picked up 2 pints of original with strawberries and mochi to go. They packed two containers to the brim, then had separate containers to hold the mounds of toppings on the side. This really maximizing the amount of froyo going on. It was pretty tasty, especially with the delectably soft mochi. This was also super economical, stuffing the 5 of us to the brim for under 14 bucks!

  • Kattie L.

    Less choice than Yogurtland, but the quality is so much better! I really enjoy the Lavender Honey yogurt with the taro mochi - the mochi is decadent and you can really taste that it's homemade. The small is more than enough for one person, I might go for a micro next time. The prices are on par with Yogurtland, you just get much less of a choice for toppings at that price point. Lines are intense on a sunny day, but at least they're only a skip away from my place and open until 11pm! They also have stamp cards. :)

  • Stephanie T.

    Banana Graham frozen yogurt YUMM!!!! Homemade brownie topping squares and fresh fresh fruit. The strawberries were SO good! Every bite was so full of flavor. I could eat another cup right this second and I just had one an hour ago. Lol. Anyways, this place kills it.

    I never used to be a fan of froyo. When I first came to Boston, everyone was raving about Yo Berry, but I wasn't impressed. It wasn't until Berryline opened with its cute decor in the old Arrow St Crepe location that I fell in love with this delicious dessert. Seriously, the froyo here is the best. If i had to complain about something, it's that I dont live close enough to get it every day. I've tried all the chain ones, but all of them are missing one thing or another. I bring all my out of town guests here. This is the real deal people.

  • Cristina R.

    I'd heard over and over that BerryLine is the best froyo in Boston, so last night I finally gave it a whirl. I'm now so used to the pull-and-pay froyo shops, that it was actually a bit weird and uncomfortable to have to talk to someone about my options and preferences. Major #firstworldproblems, right? After I got over that, I asked for a sample of the strawberry banana froyo flavor, but it was a bit too tart for me. I then decided to go with the chocolate cake flavor (the other two options were snickerdoodle and original). Since I've never been a fan of original flavor, the chocolate cake froyo was still a bit tart for my liking, but the addition of the strawberries and cheesecake bit toppings was just enough sweetness to create a perfectly balanced froyo concoction. Just call me a culinary genius. The standout of this order was by far the cheesecake! You can taste the different layers (crumbly crust, creamy filling) in each bite. Apparently BL bakes the toppings themselves, and I definitely believe it. Give me the recipe? I'm intrigued by the other flavors they have throughout the year and would definitely like to venture back to create more interesting combinations (and nom on more cheesecake bits). BerryLine, I have a business suggestion for you: sell slices of that delicious cheesecake with froyo and fruit toppings. Sounds like a winning idea, right? You'd have one regular customer, at least.

    Every time I'm in Harvard Square I see a huge line out the door for Pinkberry. Why not give a little love to BerryLine, the local Bostonian place that's just around the corner? It's just as good as Pinkberry (if not better) with similar toppings choices and they are very generous with the toppings. Not sure there's a whole lot more I can say since frozen yogurt isn't terribly differentiated from chain to chain, but my main point is BerryLine is pretty good, has a shorter line, and offers more toppings for the price. Why not?

    Really yummy froyo, but the staff is sooo RUDE!! I don't understand in what world it's okay to give my friend lip about not ordering in advance for her $43 worth of froyo when the place was absolutely dead, and there were two people working there. (Especially when the last time she ordered in advance they messed up her order) That's not okay.

  • Bela S.

    My wife likes to drag me to froyo places at least twice a week. She obviously enjoys them, although they aren't my favorite. I will usually have some of her cup, sometimes getting my own. I regret not getting my own at BerryLine the other day! They have the freshest, softest mochi that I have ever had, and it isn't overly sugared like the pre-packaged stuff. Their granola is also wonderfully crunchy, with the perfect amount of honey. You can really tell they make everything on site. There were only four or so flavors of yogurt, but that wasn't a problem. They had classic tart, which is all that mattered to me. Froyo was smooth, although a bit sweeter than I would have liked for a "tart" yogurt. Definitely not bad, just not what I am used to when going with tart. One last thing to note, this place isn't a serve yourself establishment, as has become popular with places such as orange leaf. You tell the employee what you want and they serve you. Proportions are generous, however. It's basically like a wonderful homemade pinkberry, for those familiar with the chain. Not a complaint, just an observation. We will be back, probably the next time we make a ramen run to Sapporo. :)

  • Ken M.

    BerryLine is hands down the best frozen yogurt place around. Their flavors are excellent, the quality of the fruit is top-notch, and there's something magical about the texture/consistency that the other big chains spots haven't figured out. I was about as sad as can be when the Newbury store closed and now I'm counting the days until they open up a new location on this side of the river.

  • Melissa B.

    Loveeeee Berryline!!! As a self-proclaimed frozen yogurt aficionado, this place is the best! The original flavor is a great blend of sweet and tart and there are a bunch of other great rotating flavors as well. Then, the toppings.... I tend to fluctuate between going with all chocolate or all fruit (if I am inclined to feel a little healthier). Plus, the fruit is fresh and not something that was just recently thawed from the freezer. Can't wait for more summer evenings with a berryline yogurt in hand! :)

  • Ambrose C.

    Review Update: I decided to stroll back over here when someone told me that I should get the Caramel Apple Frozen Yogurt. I decided to get a small Caramel Apple with Pineapple, Strawberries, and Blueberries. It did not disappoint. I loved the sweet creaminess and the somewhat distinct flavor. The fruits were freshly good and just made the frozen yogurt even better. I think the quality of service had depreciated a tiny bit compared to my last visit here. The enthusiasm was definitely lacking, but I guess I can understand that because they may have handled a lot of customers during a nice day. However, every time I come to this place, I did not encounter any significantly large queue. Another disadvantage this place has is that they usually have 3 frozen yogurt flavors to choose from, but I think they change them often. However, some flavors such as the Caramel Apple are so unique that you probably would not find a flavor this distinct nearby. Prices seem to slightly reasonable, and I think for the value, the prices are slightly less than Pinkberry or Red Mango's frozen yogurt. Overall, this is probably going still be my primary choice for frozen yogurt in Harvard Square, and I still believe that it is a great alternative to Pinkberry or Red Mango. Even with the new Pinkberry that has opened down the streets in Harvard Square, it will not stop me from coming to this place. I just hope there really will not be any large queues any time soon.

    I thought I liked frozen yogurt until I tried berry line. Then I realized I had never had frozen yogurt before, and I didn't like it, I loved it. This is not some sad low fat ice cream substitute. This is a tart, tangy, unique experience that can't be beat. I usually go for classic tart, but I've had a few special flavors that were amazing as well.

  • Regina F.

    With only four (rotating) flavors, a cramped basement location and only tart-ish flavors, I was skeptical about the enthusiasm emanating from Yelp. How could any non-self serve frozen yogurt place be really that great? Berryline somehow accomplishes the impossible. For someone who generally is a fan of cloyingly sweet yogurts in the tradition of cake batter, cappuccino and white chocolate, I was shocked that I could enjoy banana-grahm swirled by somebody else. And since the kind folks at BerryLine aren't topping shy, you'll get the amount of brownies, sprinkles or strawberries you request. If eating frozen yogurt is too chilling on its own, order a tea. It helps the yogurt melt and your body warm as you indulge in a slightly sweet, slightly tart treat.

  • Ned K.

    I come here pretty often as I live close, but recently I've come to the conclusion that their frozen yogurt is really hit or miss. You may go one day and it'll be awesome, but the next day it will taste like absolutely nothing. The toppings are fantastic and it is nice that it's local, but I've had a few experiences in the last couple of months where my flavors were bitter and tasted nothing like what they should have. I'll still go back, but I did think this was worth mentioning.

  • Brandy W.

    Red Mango is better. I'm not going to be able to convince any of you of this considering the CRAZY amounts of 5 star reviews on this joint, but anyway. I had a "micro" with raspberries and almonds and it cost me over $3. That's pretty spicy to me! But I guess fro-yo is overpriced.... so what's new. It was fine tasting, but not earth-shattering and not better than Pinkberry or Red Mango. Just good. Not great/amazing/awesome. Just good. Would I go back? Meh. Would I eat it if it were in front of me, sure would!

  • Traci K.

    This Berryline location is teeny-tiny - but they always seem to have the best flavors. Oreo with oreos? Dreamy. As with all Berrylines this one has friendly staff and a quick moving line. I love my frequent shoppers card...though I swear it only encourages my addiction. The location is a bit off the beaten path - but it is definitely better than Pinkberry right in the square (gross) and it's local! Can't be beat.

    Berryline remains the only froyo I like in the square. Something about the taste is just fuller and less artificial tasting. Great selection of toppings as well, although I generally prefer plain original yogurt.

    BerryLine offers summer refuge with a blast of AC and delicious froyo peppered with a fresh array of yummy toppings. Situated in a cute, little corner at the intersection between Arrow St & Mass Ave, this bundle of multi-coloured joy (even the exterior is painted in bright colours) offers four froyo flavours that change periodically with the option of having no toppings, one topping, or multiple ones. I grabbed a medium (8 oz.) with kiwi, strawberries, and mochi: Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. Overall, BerryLine is a perfect place for dessert. I was ecstatic to see they offer mochi toppings here and definitely recommend it! I can eat mountains of that stuff... Otherwise, service was bright, informative, and welcoming. They also have a punch card where you get your 11th cup free (small+multi or med+1 topping).

    I can't get enough. I have this thing where I usually don't *love* ice cream or frozen yogurt. However, once I have it, I am addicted for a few weeks (then afterwards I won't want it again). Let me tell you this, the summer of 2012 has been the summer of frozen yogurt. The BerryLine on Newbury Street had this AMAZING flavor: lavender honey. I was addicted; that was the only thing I could think about. Every time I go to this BerryLine, my fingers are crossed that they have it (but they have not). Who cares, their frozen yogurt is so good. I mad a banana (something) with mochi and peanut butter cups (actually, I'll have whatever sounds appetizing with those two add ons). I can't get enough, I can't! The people who work here are efficient and sweet. The physical layout is not conducive for hanging out and I really wish there was a table or bench outside. However, if you walk towards Harvard Square on Mass. Ave, you will find a nice park with a few benches. Watch out for the birds, though!

    Admittedly this was quite a while ago, but when I went in I ordered a plain yogurt flavor with blackberries and blueberries. The server (owner?) complained that I was asking for the most expensive toppings. Really??? It didn't taste as good, probably because I his bitterness affected my experience.

    (2)

  • Eric F.

    Wow, how I forgot to put a review up years ago for this branch is beyond me. Berryline's froyo is consistently tasty across their locations and the original in Harvard Sq is obviously no exception. The staff here were particularly awesome when I took my friends here, playing awesome hip hop and R&B from the 90s =D You can't go wrong with any of the flavors and for toppings, I implore you to get the mochi - it was almost freakishly soft and even had enough flavor on its own to simply eat straight.

    (4)

  • Meagan C.

    Living and working in Harvard Sq means there are a lot of options for every meal. That said I always go back to Berryline. The flavor is unlike any of the mass market fro yo places. I gladly walk past the tourist trap that is Pinkberry everyday knowing that Berryline is so much better. Favorite flavors: Tamarind, vanilla cardamom, original Also, the punch card is definitely worth it if you go often and they'll combine them if you have a few!

  • Alyssa T.

    I gave up on writing Yelp reviews a while ago, but the service (or lack thereof ) at Berryline in Cambridge has gone so far down hill that I found it necessary to update this one. My office is nearby, sometimes we troop over en masse (about 15 people or so, typically) to get yogurt to celebrate someone's birthday, greet a new intern, etc.. We are a pretty relaxed bunch, we don't rush the folks working, we leave a tip, etc.. We routinely get rolled eyes, smart-aleck comments, and generally rude behavior from the staff (and owner on occasion!). Most recently, we were the only customers on a 5 degree day in January - don't you think they'd be happy for the business? Between this and the attitude they regularly dole out for using a credit card (I get it, you get charged fees.. it sucks, but don't take credit cards if you don't want to deal with it) I think I'm officially done with Berryline, at least the Harvard Sq. location.

    Go for the original with fruit toppings. Refreshing even in the cold of winter, and clearly a must-have to survive the blazing summers... Less sweet than Pinkberry's original offering, and perhaps a bit more tangy.

  • Shing Yiing O.

    3.5 stars... I have way too high expectation on BerryLine... Especially it was voted the best fro yo... 3 flavors.. raspberry, original, and chocolate mint.. I always love my fro yo to be original or fruit's flavor.. I ordered the twist with raspberry and original.. Raspberry was pretty good.. flavorful and just the right mixture of sweet and sour... the original.. tasted slightly sugary.. not as thick enough to enjoy.. probably I just compared it to my favorite fro yo place in NYC.. called crazy banana... the original flavor at crazy banana was really flavorful and the texture is really thick just like ice-cream... I decided to give 4 stars because of the chocolate mint.. BerryLine is the ONLY place which make GREAT non-fruit froyo.. the chocolate mint is my favorite... I should have get that instead.. I actually tried it on the 2nd day just for a small sample... Their toppings were really fresh.. as you can see they pack it in a huge pack and stored it nicely.. Overall.. BerryLine is still good :)

    So, I'm definitely a froyo snob. I love my yogurt and it must be good! BerryLine is definitely the best! The yogurt is always so fresh and it takes like real yogurt. It's so refreshing. Go local and shop BerryLine. You won't regret it.

    (5)

  • Kelly B.

    I love Berryline. They always have good flavors (today, for example, they had honey graham and rose) and I feel good that I am supporting a local business by buying their yogurt. The yogurt is creamy and not icy like at some fro-yo places. The difference I can taste in relation to Pinkberry is that the tartness of the yogurt is more apparent. I was sad to see that their Newbury St. location had closed, but it seemed like pretty stiff competition from the Pinkberry that was across the street. In conclusion, if you are looking for fro-yo in Harvard Square and are willing to walk a few blocks, go check out Berryline. You won't be sorry!

  • Stefanie Y.

    I first came here in 2008 and was blown away. Two years later, I was excited to return to Boston, partially because I had fond memories of Berryline, and also because I had saved my punch card for two years (crazy, I know) and I had two more punches to go. Berryline has the best tasting frozen yogurt - the perfect combination of tanginess and smooth creaminess. There's none of that milky taste that has been the downfall of so many other frozen yogurts. Their mochi topping is chewy and delicious, and the fruit is always fresh. I also love trying out their fun flavors (lavender froyo YES). The atmosphere is cozy and I love how Berryline keeps it local. The artwork from local artists is always a nice touch and their little doodles outside the store are adorable! Nothing about this place feels mass-produced, which I really appreciate, especially in touristy Harvard Square. I do miss the old granola though. They used to have this chunky, kind of honey-oat granola that I would always get because it was just that good. Their new granola is good too, but not particularly special. I judge frozen yogurt places based on the flavor of their original; no place does it as well as Berryline. This place is simply the best. And it's healthy!

  • Jennifer H.

    Oh how I love you, dear Berryline. I've tried Pinkberry and the new Yogurtland, but they can't hold a candle to your sweet tart perfection. (Yogurtland doesn't deserve mention. Built as a self serve ice cream substitute, with quantity substituted for quality -- not real froyo. Pinkberry tries to capture the right fresh flavor, and their plain flavor's alright, but their strawberry somehow ends up tasting like the frozen Gogurt tubes you made as a kid. A vaguely plastic taste. Berryline's got a bright zing that will always have me coming back for more.) Any day is a good day for Berryline. It's 20 degrees out today; I think I'll go sometime tonight with a friend. Sometimes when I'm out of town I'll wistfully open up their website and look hungrily at their flavors. (My current favorites are lychee, blueberry basil, almond pear, and original with chopped ripe strawberries.) The theme is hand-painted, playful, and colorful. When you walk in (to a cloud of something sweet) you feel embraced by the space. It's a bit further from the T station and harder to find, but it's definitely worth it.

    I think the quality of the frozen yogurt is superior to pinkberry, red mango or yogurtland. It is a little pricey but I'm a snob about desserts. Sometimes I do go to Yogurtland for their better selection of toppings, but I always regret it after getting to the frozen yogurt part.

    The first three times I went here, I got lost every time. Not easy to find. But when you do eventually get there, an array of fun and unusual flavors await you.

  • Katie C.

    When it comes to frozen yogurt in Harvard Square, my heart wants to support the local business... but my stomach forces me to side with Pinkberry. The main reasons: - They only make one flavor. Original, Nutella, Oreo, Honey-Graham, Peppermint Oreo. I've tried them all, and they all taste the exact same. Even the Peppermint Oreo, which had absolutely ZERO mint taste. So you think "how innovative", but taste "how disappointing". Granted, the exotic and stronger fruit options (Chai, Cardamom, Eggnog, Key Lime, etc) do have some resemblance of flavor distinction, but mostly because of one over-powering spice that prevents you from finishing the serving. Even my boyfriend, who usually orders the medium, couldn't finish the small Eggnog. And I just prefer non-fruity flavors. - This is also more of a personal preference, but BerryLine's yogurt is too thin. While I enjoy the tartness, the consistency is not as creamy or as smooth as Pinkberry's. - It's a bit overpriced. Then again, I suppose all of the froyo joints around here are. Some pluses: I do appreciate the Micro size and unlimited toppings option that they introduced a while back. And it's fun checking out the new flavors every couple of weeks, even if I don't love ordering them.

  • Andrea B.

    When my friend told me that this BerryLine had cinnamon peanut butter as its newest flavor, I made it a top priority to get myself right over to Harvard Square after work the next day. And it was absolutely worth the trip. The balance between the cinnamon and peanut butter flavors is perfect and goes with the tartness of the frozen yogurt better than I thought it would. Add my usual toppings - mochi and yogurt chips, and you've got yourself a frozen yogurt masterpiece. So why not five stars? One thing that I've noticed in my total of three trips to this particular BerryLine is the mochi is always a little off. One time it was a little too chewy, another time it had too much flour on it. This is quite an important consideration, since mochi is my favorite and therefore most essential topping on my fro-yo. I've never encountered this at the other locations I've been to so far (Porter Square and Fenway). But it's still mochi and I still liked it, so it didn't detract from my experience too much. As soon as you get a new flavor, I will be back, BerryLine. But since that won't be for about two weeks, I'll probably be back sooner.

    What is this, and how can I convince this company to come to northern Vermont?! My only past experiences with FroYo come courtesy of TCBY, but BerryLine is wayyy better. Fresh fruit toppings atop a small cup of a sweet but not too saccharine frozen treat...yum. I had the original flavor with strawberries on top, which was awesome. A friend had the ginger-blueberry, which apparently was also really good. I will be coming back when I'm in Boston again.

    This is the real deal, the Holy Grail of frozen yogurt. Good flavors, just the right amount of tartness, and a nice selection of toppings. (My favorites are the fresh fruits and the Taza chocolate.) The servings are generous and the texture is always smooth. Those self serve places (there are a bunch of them now) might be more fun. Pinkberry has convenient locations in high traffic areas. But BerryLine delivers the goods, and offers them in shops with local charm and art on the walls. These comments hold for all three locations, though I find the Fenway area one a bit shorter in store charm than the other two. I miss the Back Bay store; that one was roomier and had a larger selection of flavors.

    I am a fan! This place is pretty delicious, much better than pinkberry in my own opinion. They have 3 flavors at a time, with different sizes. I got nutella with strawberries and boy did they pile on the strawberries! It was delicious! The nutella was ok, there wasn't much nutella flavor to it, as it just tasted like a hint of chocolate. The service was fast and good though!

    2nd time around...I still am not a fan of this place unfortunately. Their non-regular flavors are too sweet and exotic/creative. I need my simple fruit-based froyo that I can get at Pinkberry or Red Mango. Sorry, Berryline. I like the home-y, wholesome vibe of the place though!

    I must have tried the wrong flavor or gone on an off day, because after reading all of these fab reviews I am not sure what went wrong. I love me some frozen yogurt and will choose it over almost any other dessert but BerryLine was a true disappointment. We stumbled upon the place on a busy night when the line was out the door which I took as a good sign. There were three options listed that night: regular, Oreo, and a pineapple blend. Where I normally go for the fruit flavors, I was in a chocolate kind of mood and ordered Oreo instead. Toppings? This is obvious, PB cups! I took one bite and was confused, took another and was asking myself "did I just get grey regular"? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate tartness of the good ol' regular flavor, but if it's called Oreo it should have some sort of hint of its flavor not just the color that the cookie would make if you throw it in the blender. I am all for supporting our local businesses so I am sure I will try BerryLine again at some point, but for now I am in no hurry.

    Why oh why does anyone go to the new Pinkberry in Harvard Square when BerryLine is just around the corner? BerryLinehas better prices, much more fruit/toppings put on your frozen yoghurt and no line or a short wait! So tasty.

    Mm, blackberry fro-yo? I thought I had tasted all the flavors possible, but OH, was I wrong. There are plenty of toppings to choose from, you can't really go wrong. I had the original with tazo chocolate, oreo chunks, and strawberries. Kind of a Valentine fro-yo mix in the middle of May. Without the fat! I don't know why people don't give fro-yo for V-day more often...beats flowers (you can't eat flowers). Berryline does seem to give you a little more bang for your buck over Pinkberry and Red Mango, the other fro-yo kings in the area. For a small (which is actually way more than enough), and three toppings, you only fork over $4.50. And you get to sit in a weird basement-like cove, slurping down your fro-yo like a proper obsessee.

    I can't believe it's taken me so long to review you. Well Berry line, your the original and unique yogurt shop. Why, because you introduced me to tasty/fun/ healthy fro-before it became a fad. Inventive flavors from taza, Nutella to summertime favorites such as creamsicle to mango. Stamp cards, late hours, fun artwork, and more keep me coming back.

    I was walking on cobblestones with my heels after work to BerryLine thinking, "This place better be worth it..." and it sure Was. BerryLine is small and clean. They have a few tables and a countertop by the window for seating. There was a line out the door but it moved very fast. The flavors for the night were Original, Oreo and Lychee. I tried the oreo and lychee. The oreo was too sweet and it tasted like soft serve chocolate ice cream. But the lychee was really good. I ordered the lychee froyo with 3 toppings (graham cracker, banana and mango) for under 5 dollars! They were very generous with the toppings unlike some other froyo places. Also, BerryLine offers a good variety of toppings with a few specials such as Figs. And if you're a big mochi topping fan, i think you should definitely try BerryLine's. The mochi pieces are really big and yummy - chewy and sweet.

    I could live off ice cream, but I feel really guilty for eating ice cream 24/7. Then I discovered BerryLine and it made my life complete. It is the perfect compromise. It is so yummy and I feel better about myself after eating it. I usually get a bunch of fruit on it too. It is so good. I have never been to other places like this, but the yogurt on its own is really good too. It is the perfect hot summer day snack.

  • S W.

    I have a huge stiffy for this place- and I am a chick- First time I tasted it, I thought "this is so delicious, I don't want to see the calorie count." But then I did-- 25 calories per ounce-- amazing-- like awesomely truly amazing-- my froyo fantasies always lead me to Berryline.

    (5)

  • Maria B.

    I've gone back frequently after the first time I reviewed this place, and the staff has definitely improved. I've found them to be polite and patient in all my subsequent visits. So overall I"m happy with this place and it's one of my favorite dessert places in the Square.

    Great yogurt and topping combinations, but a bit expensive... following the Pinkberry model! It can get really crowded here, but when it's not, they offer free Wi-Fi, and it can be a good place to stop and do some email and web surfing.

  • Happy Eater B.

    This place is sheer deliciousness. The frozen yogurt is absolutely terrific. Paired with fresh fruit, it is sublime. Definitely a nice treat. The only thing keeping Berryline from 5 stars is that it is a little pricey and occasionally has lines that are a bit long.

  • Mabel C.

    I went here based on the reviews. This is the second frozen yogurt place I've been to, the first being in California. While the yogurt was good, I much prefer the one I went to in California because everything at the one in California was self-serve, with 10+ yogurt flavors to choose from and many more toppings than the one here in Harvard Square. However, since I am currently living in Boston, this will have to do.

  • Lina G.

    A bit expensive but delicious. Not too sweet just the way I like it and it tastes like actual yogurt....genius! The only cons are the price and the toppings...the fruit is fantastic but the chocolate toppings are blah. I'm not crazy about snickers and toffee, it's be great to see some dark chocolate fudge or dark chocolate chips. I still love it though, go about once a week.

    (4)

  • Amanda D.

    Though I have coworkers that rave about this place and the concept is great, I just didn't like the flavor of the "pure" yogurt....doesn't make it a bad place, just didn't suit my taste. Their fruit was fresh and did make the taste of the yogurt better :)

    (3)

  • Abigail D.

    A little pricey, but so are all of the boutique yogurt/ice cream joints. I do enjoy that I can eat a delicious bowl of sugar and peanut butter chips and strawberries and still feel virtuous. It's also delicious.

  • T K.

    Honestly, at first I didn't care for Berryline. My co-workers introduced me to it one day and I was like...this is the big thing you guys kept raving about...It wasn't anything special to me. As time went by I started to crave BerryLine more and more and I finally started to see why people was so addicted to it. It's very refreshing and I love fresh fruits so putting it on top of my yogurt is a plus. I was never really a yogurt person but it's only 40 calories! Who can beat that? Good bye ice cream and hello BerryLine.

    (4)

  • Christina B.

    It's hard not to love BerryLine, succulent frozen yogurt and generous portions of perfect blackberries, blueberries, mangos and kiwis. But I felt a little strange walking in and seeing how eerily similar it is to NYC's PinkBerry pinkberry.com and Red Mango redmangousa.com . Only that, those locales are also include mochi in their topping repertoire. Maybe BerryLine could continue the impersonation a little further and also mochi...?

    (4)

  • Grace W.

    I have been to Berryline twice. Each time the fruit was fresh and the staff was very pleasant. The place was crowded so if you don't know what you want it its probably not a good idea to stand in line until you have made up your mind. I like the flavor of the tangy yogurt. The only other time I have had something this tasty was at Bloomingdales in New York. They sell a similar product, Frogurt, which has a slightly tangy flavor. The only complaint with Berryline is the yogurt is a little watery. I prefer a creamier consistency like Frogurt.

  • G N.

    Amazeballs. So good and you don't feel gross after. My favorite is original with rasberries, mango and coconut. I want to get some right now!

  • vadit s.

    I would rate this as a 3.5. My girlfriend is obsessed with frozen yogurt so I took here there, but she still claims pinkberry is much better. According to her the yogurt at berryline is not as good, and they did not have mochi balls when we went. Apparently they only have mochi balls every now and then. We got banana yogurt with coconut and strawberry and original yogurt with mango and blackberry. They have a lot of topping selections otherwise, and the fruit is fresh. The price is comparable to pinkberry.

    (4)

  • Katie N.

    Oh, I heart it. Very flavorful, low-fat frozen yogurt. Think -- no frozen yogurt you've ever had before. They have a great selection of REALLY fresh fruit and candies, chocolate, etc. to accompany one of usually three types of yogurt. It's in a convenient, yet slightly tucked away part of Harvard sq. Go before it gets too cold!

  • sato h.

    i've had better ones. went there twice, the very first visit was not so great since the staff was rude and impatient. today we went for the second time, the girls were friendly and let us try different flavors. so the overall experience was better. i think it's a good place to go if you are craving for frozen yogurt in boston.

    (3)

  • Frank N.

    Overall, good stuff. The interior kinda takes the typical JP licks lick atmosphere...somewhat college-like. Anyways, I got a small with mango, blueberries and MOCHI. I had some pinkberry when I was in LA, and their mochi was much better Berryline's mochi was kinda hard, while I remembered Pinkberry's to be nice and soft and definitely the best topping. Minus one star for the mochi, but otherwise a solid place. I'll probably try it again in hopes that the mochi improves, or maybe I hit a bad mochi-day. Definitely the best out of yo berry and berryline though.

    After reading all these raving reviews, I've been meaning to check out BerryLine for ages now. I admit to having been a little afraid to almost, since it's a fairly short walk from my apartment, and a fro yo addiction on top of my other food cravings seems dangerous. But it was a warm spring day, the kind when you're meant to have a cup of something frozen in hand as you stroll through the Square, and so I figured this would be my chance to taste the deliciousness. And you know, I don't get it. I mean, it was tasty, it certainly wasn't bad. I appreciate the tang, though it reminded me more of citrus, almost lemony, than the richer tang I associate with plain yogurt. Also, I was expecting a rather intense yogurt flavor from the reviews, and in reality, found it fairly mild and the texture thin. The fresh fruit is good, sure, but it's, well, fruit, nothing unique or hard to come by. And they offer unremarkable chocolate chips that don't particularly work, texturally, with a frozen dessert. I'm thinking I could do fruit with yogurt at home, enjoy it as much if not more, and it would be less than $5 (for a generous sized "small"). So while I ate mine, and it was good enough I suppose, at the end, I couldn't really see myself going back again for more, though sure, I'd eat one if you bought it for it me. That's ok, though. My wallet and waistline are safe from developing another habit.

  • Cal F.

    I tried this place for the first time last night. Even though I had heard great things, I am an ice cream and fro-yo lover and was worried the yogurt tang wouldn't be sweet enough. I was so wrong! I tried the original and the peach-both amazing but I liked the original best. I got rasberries and white chocolate chips and loved every bite. I spent the rest of the evening coming up with new combinations of toppings. I made sure to ask for a stamp card while I was there since I think it's safe to say I will be coming back here. Also, glad to know there is no HFCS in it.

  • Elena B.

    After going to California, frozen yogurt in the Boston area has never been able to satisfy me. I always get the original, no matter where I go. The frozen yogurt here is probably the best I'll be able to find in the area. But the mochi totally didn't work for me. It just didn't have the sticky soft texture that real mochi should have. Other than that, BerryLine is pretty good. It isn't too pricy either.

    (3)

  • Taylor O.

    Berryline started out great. Lots of interesting flavors, good service, and large portions. The passionfruit was REALLY great. I used to go all the time, which is how I could tell that something had changed about their product. It now has an icy texture instead of creamy, and they switched to mochi that is dry instead of chewy, and has a mass-produced quality to it. If I'm in the neighborhood, I go to Berryline, but I no longer go out of my way to go by.

    (3)

  • Brian N.

    Now they charge the same for fruit and dry toppings! Also, I noticed that they just pile on the toppings, unlike Pinkberry or Red Mango in NYC or LA, which are pretty stingy when it comes to toppings. Berryline is opening new places in Cambridge and Boston soon, I am excited! :)

    (5)

  • Melissa C.

    Yummy! I've been wanting to try this place out, but kept putting it off. What was I thinking?! I could have been eating this stuff all summer! The fro-yo was totally tastey -- all four flavors (mango, black cherry, pomegranate and original), which I got to try because Matt W. was willing to run back and forth from the counter to the... machine (I wonder if there's a particular name for the frozen yogurt machine...) with four little sample cups for me while I stared at all the topping possibilities. Also, super patient with my indecisiveness. All the toppings just looked so good (especially they the strawberries, they're all bright and red and glistening!)! In the end, I got Mango/Original with Strawberries. It was delicious, but I was totally jealous of everyone else's flavors, so I'm going to have to go back. It was so good, I packed my cup o' fro yo away with jaw dropping speed. Seriously, my cup was so clean when I was done they could have re-used it.

    (5)

  • S L.

    Since tasting their froyo last weekend, I have been craving it DAILY! I'm so glad the weekend is approaching, so I can go back for more. It was the first quality froyo I've ever tasted, and the fruit toppings they had looked as if they were all freshly hand-picked. I wish they had a downtown Boston location, so I can go more often.

    when the thought of berryline enters into my awareness, there is almost no stopping my feet as they bring me directly to the shop. sometime squeals of delight escape from my lips when i suggest making a visit to a friend. frozen yogurt that tastes like yogurt? free samples? exotic fruit toppings? healthy sweet delicious cool treat? yes please.

    I have to admit, paying eighty cents a topping kind of hurts me, but whatever, the froyo's yummy and the fruit is fresh. Flavor of the week is also fun.

    After all the good reviews I had to go check it out. The yogurt was delicious and they have some pretty yummy toppings too. I had raspberry yogurt with kiwi topping and it was delicious. And not too bad in the price department either. I'd definately go again.

  • Tien L.

    I'm usually not a dessert/ice cream person but their frozen yogurt is just DELICIOUS! it's creamier than pinkberry and the tanginess sweetness are just right! fruits are fresh, staffs are friendly, and the prices is cheap compare to pinkberry and yo-berry (the one in super 88 in boston). they even offer free wi-fi! i cant wait till they have start selling smoothies :-)

  • luosha c.

    i was really excited about this place, after having read about pinkberry and wanting something like it locally. when i finally made it there on a friday night, the line was out the door (totally mobbed with harvard undergrads). the yogurt was decent (yay softserve), and the toppings were nice, but i have to admit i was a little disappointed. the plain was pretty sweet (considering it was "plain") and had kind of a weird chalky flavor. the mango flavor was delicious in its own right, and pretty good at covering up the chalkiness, but too sweet for my taste. and neither was as yogurty as i would have hoped (it would be better if it were more sour and had a little more texture, less mushiness). also, it was a little bit *too* smooth ... a little more chewiness like in indian or turkish ice creams would have been nice. instead it had that kind of overpowering creaminess that makes tosci's ice so much less good than, say, herrell's or christina's or j.p. licks. but i guess if you like that sort of thing ... and what are they going to do when berries go out of season (basically already)? anyway, it was a good idea. maybe i'll go back if they ever bring a green tea flavor.

  • Albert T.

    Other Yelpers have pretty much covered what there is to say about BerryLine. All I have to add is that for "tangy" style yogurt, it's more creamy than tangy. Pinkberry does a more tangy version and I give them the edge. However, BerryLine is more reasonably priced and they give bigger portions of yougurt and toppings. This is all irrelevant because as far as I know, there's no Pinkberry in the Boston area and BerryLine's the only show in town. Don't forget to get a punch card.

    If you're looking for a frozen treat that is a bit lighter and healthier than traditional ice cream (depending on the toppings you choose!), then this is the place for you! BerryLine is a cute little frozen yogurt shop in Harvard Square that is a little tucked away on a side street. I never even noticed it there until a friend took me, and since that time I have been back once in a while. Although they offer different flavors, I would recommend sticking with the traditional and jazzing it up with toppings. If you're feeling more adventurous, the staff here are really friendly and happy to give you a generous sample. I love to add crunchy granola to my frozen yogurt, but the best part is the fresh fruit. That's right...you read that correctly...I said "fresh" fruit. None of that gelatinous fruit mess that you get a lot of ice cream places, but rather big chunks of fresh, ripe, delicious fruit that is in season. Mmmmmm, now that's how you do it!

    (4)

  • Olivia C.

    this ain't icecream!!! If you are in the Square, and are not square, go straight to Bartley's Burger for a quality shake or Herrell's or Christy's for fresh ice cream. Truth is, it is fresh yogurt (and I actually love real yogurt-a la Brown Cow), but Berry Line is just not my cup of fat. I got Original with Raspberries that were big but not local. I got it with the mini recees that were too small to taste. $5 and I didn't even get that special feeling. I wanted to stop here because I overhead at Harvard Book Store that this stuff was delicious. Oh yuppies, with their politically correct desserts! I guess BerryLine is delicious if you like frozen yogurt! I want to prolong summer feelings by eating Icecream; not sorbet, not yogurt, icecream. I recommend B-lining it to the creme of the crop.

    (3)

  • Tommy R.

    I'll just pile on the good reviews here like BerryLine piles on the toppings. Very friendly staff, the samples flow like wine, and the taste is great. I like strawberries and chocolate chips, though I am thinking about changing it up since there's usually self service Hershey's syrup. The frequent diner card is nice, and that marketing tool works on me. I have witnessed the long lines, but I prefer the off-peak times and winter when I don't have to wait too long, or at all. Keep up the good work, BerryLine!

    Very, very cool. The froyo isn't super-sweet like "frozen desserts". It's actually frozen yogurt! It's got a tart taste, but it has great toppings ranging from fruit to cookie crumbs. Great place for dessert in Harvard Square. Just a heads up -- it's a small place, so don't expect to be able to sit down. It's kind of in a small out-of-the-way street anyway.

  • Courtney B.

    Berryline is my favorite desert place in the greater Boston area. The tangy yogurt tastes great with tropical fruit toppings. They are also one of the only places I know that offers a papaya topping almost all year round. In general, I am not a fan of very sweet deserts, however when I am in the mood for a sweet treat, Berryline still satiates me with all their typical desert toppings, like chocolate chips and oreos, etc. You can also get flavored yogurt. The apple cinnamon is delicious but its seasonal. I've heard there other flavors are tasty too, and the staff will let you sample everything before you make a decision. Thus, this small shop on Arrow St. is completely worth checking out. Don't be deterred if there is a long line. The staff makes the line move quickly.

  • Simona S.

    Move over, Pinkberry. Actually, just get the hell out of the way. So I'm running late (per usual) to my facial at Sasha Salon and Spa and lo and behold, I notice groups of people gathered around this teeny place with cute doodles on it. I'm walking fast but I'm craning my neck around to figure out what all of the hoopla is about. Then I notice the name: BerryLine, the place I've bookmarked for months but never got around to finding. I have found you, my sweet sweet lovah. My facial was painful, I looked like a hot blotchy mess, but as I was passing the frozen yogurt haven again, running late to meet with friends back in Boston, I thought to myself : frozen yogurt waits for no one. Certainly not for me. Cranberry flavored yogurt with mangoes: a small (a VERY DECENT SMALL, MIND YOU) cost me less than $3.50. The same thing would have cost me $6 at Pinkberry. The people were friendly, the yogurt delicious and cheapo, and I am convinced that my face looked better the next day because of the frozen orgasm I fed my body the night before. Have I said too much? I think not.

  • K. E.

    Although quite partial to Pinkberry's abundant topping options, I found BerryLine to be quite comparable and not nearly as crowded on a Saturday night after dinner in Harvard Square. The yogurt is just the right amount of tart, the toppings were plentiful (which they should be if you're going to charge me for each one), and I had an overall good experience. Off the beaten path, but worth the extra block's walk. Yum!!

    (4)

  • Erica S.

    Wait, frozen yogurt that tastes like... yogurt?... that's frozen? Absurd! Yogurty frozen yogurt people. Delicious. Not to mention, it's fat free, and 25 calories per serving. What?! That frees up a whole ton of calories for you to pile on as toppings! The original flavor is always good, or try one of the two rotating flavors-- peanut butter! Banana! Coconut! Etc! Then throw on any of the toppings of your choice-- fresh fruit (blueberries, mango, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, coconut, so much more), nuts (chopped pecans, walnuts, you name it), or some decadence (oreos, white chocolate chips, aghhhhhhh!!!). Now that's what I call a party!

  • Deepa C.

    Being awesome, and Indian, I grew up with homemade yogurt with every meal. Vegetable dish, lentil dish, fresh chapatis, rice and dhai. Glorious dhai that I missed so very much when I was away from home. My mom would make a fresh pot every week, using culture from the week before. This chain of dhai has not been broken since 1978. I am not kidding. So of course, when I got my own place, I got my own yogurt maker and have that tart, sweet, creamy, milky goodness in the mornings. Some granola, fruit and I am so so happy. Nothing I have ever had even comes close to this. Mass produced, store sold yogurt, sugary frozen yogurt, nothing (I agree with Kabir's take on Indian train food/yogurt, though. My sister and I would crave Shatabdhi tomato soup the minute we touched down in Delhi). Nothing has come close, until now. BerryLine uses Greek yogurt, which has the same tart, smooth taste that I love. It is not ruined by massive amounts of sugar or artificial flavor. I got the peach with strawberries and granola. I loved it. I'll be back with my mom - just to let her know that I will be ok if she ever stops making her own batches. (Friendly staff, clean eating area, good location, ok prices.)

    The froyo was good enough--I had apple cinnamon, and it was light and tangy. Kinda boring, but, it's that style. The toppings are where I have an issue. They're crazy expensive, and the mochi is really, really bad. Stale, tasteless, dry, gross. Why did I pay almost $5 for okay froyo with icky mochi and some plain toffee crumbles?? I'm from the Silicon Valley in California, where we have frozen yogurts stores every block these days. Where's Boston's equivalent of Yogurtland? I pine for Yogurtland when I'm out here :(

    I have been putting this off for way too long. I do this all of the time. I know I want to go somewhere, try something, do something- but I don't do it for 9-12 months. It's like I get the inkling and carry it to term- and then eventually, finally go. Good. stuff. nice staff. I always said Harvard square needed smoothie's and frozen treats (4 years ago). I like that it tastes like actual yogurt and I loved it with granola and strawberries. Oreo or toffee isn't so shabby either (separately of course). The staff was helpful and it's cute as the dickens. What does that mean? I don't know. I don't care that it's 25 calories an ounce or whatever. You shouldn't eat dessert if calories are something you care about. Walk there. Eat it. Walk home. Yay!

  • Jeffrey Y.

    This is a great yogurt shop that I love to whole heartedly support. Always a good mix of flavors between tart, non-fruit (ex: salted carmel toffee). Sure there's pink berry down the street but I'd much rather support the local option. There's also a variety of flavors with friendly staff to let you taste test as many flavors as you'd like. Word is their mochi and granola is home made. My only complaint is sometimes their yogurt is on the soft side whereas I prefer really firm yogurt.

    Berry line is the original tart yogurt place in my heart. Their prices can be a little high, but their toppings are super fresh, and they have the best flavors, a bunch of which are seasonal which is so yummy. The service is good, all the people who work there are very friendly. It is definitely worth the walk from the T stop to berry line for the better quality yogurt and toppings in comparison to pinkberry.

    Definitely my go to place in Harvard Square for fro-yo. Their isn't a crazy selection of topping or flavor fro yo but just enough for you to be able to comfortably pick and pay. Very fair pricing and size option. I like how the toppings and fro yo machine are not out in the general public area, no self service option. More sanitary this way.

    BerryLine is always and forever going to be my one and only froyo-love. BerryLine prides itself on the healthfulness of their froyo, even the nutella flavor is ever so refreshing and light, pile up on multiple toppings (up to 4) for a small fraction of the price and indulge in the froyo heaven from the first to the last spoonful. The quirky tip jars, the funny napkin box disclaimers, the handwritten boards of flavors which changes from day to day, and the friendliest staff add so much color and livelihood to this true local flavor and makes me fall in love with them a little bit more everytime I visit.

    $3.75 for a small with one topping is not cheap, but the creaminess and flavor of this froyo make it worth it. Had the honey graham flavor with grated Taza chocolate. I couldn't really taste a strong graham flavor, but it was yum regardless (I was secretly hoping they would have Taza flavor). Loved the quantity and texture of the grated Taza chocolate, but I think white granulated sugar was mixed in. Not so much a fan of that. The other toppings looked delicious as well.

    Delish! I discovered BerryLine from yelp and thoroughly enjoy the fro yo here, the original flavor is always refreshing and the rotating flavors are usually good too! The employees are *generally friendly *and happy to offer a tasting. The fresh fruit is an added plus for a topping, though last time I went it was not too fresh tasting, maybe coming earlier in the day for fruit topping is a better idea....I highly recommend it if you want to try something new! Also, something that I find nice that they do is if you want the portion of one topping but two different toppings they will do that if you ask. *last time we went, my husband said something to the woman working like, 'I wish you had a kiddie size' or something to that effect and she kind of made a sly comment which was, "I can give you a kiddie portion and charge you for a small" we didn't get the feeling she was genuinely assisting us, but rather making a nasty comment* However, we really enjoy BerryLine and will continue to go, maybe just have less interaction with that employee.

    I am a huge fan of frozen treats, not to mention there used to be 5 asian-inspired froyo places within a 2 block radius of where I lived, so I have tried a lot of froyo in my day. I haven't tried the plain flavor here, but their lychee and guava flavors are excellent and the pricing is great, solid portions for the price. Their toppings are much pricier than I expected though. Will be back to try more flavors!

    125 calories of yogurt yummier than most full-fat ice cream + friendly people + truly fresh fruit = BerryLine = Perfection What more is there to say?

    Loved it. I am happy that we have our own little tart yogurt chain in Boston. I've also just been to the new new location in Fenway. I know that the flavors rotate but I think I would like something more raspberryish. I'm not sure the passion fruit had much flavor and the orange had maybe a bit too much flavor. it kinda tastes like orange juice. Like the toppings. Had a nice little friend date here.

    I will go the the gym everyday of my life I will not swear I will help every living creature I see (even spiders) I will recycle..... if I can have BerryLine in my life everyday. And I've been only once. If you've never had it I suggest jumping on this band wagon asap....it's delicious. The fro yo has that wonderful sour taste of yogurt with practically anything you want mixed in. I tried mangoes and graham crackers. Yum!!

    BerryLine is amazing. I've never had frozen yogurt that tastes like this If you're expecting something that tastes almost exactly like normal ice cream, you'll be disappointed, but if you come in with an open mind, you'll love it. It's a bit less sweet than other ice cream; it reminds me a little of cheesecake or something along those lines. It turns out that, for me, that taste is perfect in almost every situation. Somehow, BerryLine frozen yogurt has no fat. That means I can go there whenever I want and not feel guilty. The frozen yogurt has 25 calories per cup, and there are five cups in a small (not sure medium/large). 125 calories and 0 fat is pretty great for something that I like more than almost any ice cream I've had. It is a tad pricey (I think $3.25 for a small with one topping), but it's not outrageous, and I'm willing to pay a little more if it makes the ice cream healthier and the atmosphere more pleasant (more on that later). I always get the original with mochi topping. I got peanut butter once, which was okay, but not as good as original. When they have flavored mochi, I usually get that instead of regular mochi. I've had strawberry mochi (the best), peach mochi (okay), pineapple mochi (really good), and french vanilla mochi (pretty good). As a bonus, the place is really fun to go to, and the atmosphere is really nice. It feels very "small business-y". The outside walls have paintings of ice cream and toppings with faces, the inside has employee-made art for sale on the walls, and the employees interact with customers like real people. Much more enjoyable than Dairy Queen or something of the sort.

    Delicious. The yogurt is tangy (like real yogurt!), and just sweet enough to make for a nice dessert. Their original flavor yogurt is very good, but they rotate two other special flavors that are often even better. Passion fruit and lychee are the best ones that I've tried, but they mix it up enough so that there's always something new. They have a nice assortment of toppings - my favorite are the fresh fruits (mmm, mango and kiwi), but there's plenty of other stuff too. My only complaints are that it's always packed, and it's not too cheap. But then again, it's crowded because everyone knows it's awesome, and you do get what you pay for. So, no complaints, I guess!

    I have this idea that somehow if I eat frozen yogurt that a. it will not bother my lactose intolerant innards b. it is somehow healthy c. my belly roll will not increase with each cup I consume. If these things are true, then I am a happy happy girl at BerryLine. I wasn't into froyo at all until I went to visit California and it was the Drug of Choice. And I got hooked because I will eat fruit in anyway that it decides to come. When it comes all pre-peeled and chopped (mangoessssss) all over my tangy raspberry froyo with maybe some blueberries and blackberries and raspberries and strawberries andandand okay, i'm not gonna lie. I'd be just as happy with a bowl o' fruit save the yogurt- but the yogurt adds a nice cold reason to have someone else chop up the fruit. And for all the lactose pain ice cream causes me- summer desserts can be participatory again for me at this very cute, not too many places to sit, but who cares cuz they get you through fast, are patient with the non-decision making friends i went with, and offer free samples til the cows come home, easy to get to place.

    Very refreshing treat on a hot day. I got the 3 topping special for $4.50. I chose mango, pineapple, and raspberry. I was tempted to add some chips or graham cracker crumbles but decided all fruit was the way to go. The place was so busy when I arrived. The staff behind the counter worked as a team but seemed a little annoyed it was busy. One would yell, "Can I help the next person who knows what they want", then if you were lucky to bypass the families with kids who can't decide their toppings, you went up and gave your order, which was then told the the person next to the listener and made then handed back and you paid with the person on the other side. A little confusing. The guy in front of me had a coupon and the register girl quickly snapped she can't take it, then a guy came out of the back and said they do take it. Maybe the staff needs some more training. I wish the place was bigger with more seating but Harvard Square has lots of places to sit down and eat. The original yogurt was delicious, not too sweet. All the toppings were fresh. I noticed the sign on the door saying, if you don't want to wait in line, please visit out other location in Porter Square. I'll have to go check that one out next.

    It seems like the tart frozen yogurt craze hasn't hit the Boston area yet unlike California, where it's ubiquitous. However, BerryLine's yogurt really hits the spot on a hot summer day. I always get the same flavor at any yogurt place: original with strawberries. The original had the right amount of tangy-ness without being too sweet. The building is really cute too, with pictures of dancing fruit on the outside ^^ You can't go wrong with any of the fruit toppings. The only gripe I have is the amount of sitting space inside, only a couple of tables and chairs to accommodate the usual horde of people in line. Other than that, it's the best frozen yogurt place in Boston.

  • Debra M.

    I still love BerryLine. Its worth the summer time line. I have a frequent fro-yo card that I get stamped whenever I remember to. I tried the rose flavor not long ago, its a very mild mellow flavor, like a slightly sweet & less tart version of the original. The blueberry is great too. I'm not a big fan of the Taza chocolate, its got a grainy texture.

  • Elisabeth G.

    Oh Berryline, I would curse the fact that you are directly across the street from my office, tempting and taunting me daily, but you are so low in calories and so unbelievably delicious that I welcome you to my belly. You are delightfully tart, your toppings so fresh, your staff so nice and (and comfortably hipster-y), how can I resist you? Why should I try? I discovered Berryline near the Fenway and fell so overly-enthusiastically in love with it that my friend started making fun of me. Then when I started my new job, I discovered there was one across the street and knew I was in trouble. I can be found there about every other day between 2 and 3. I like the original the best of any flavors I have tried so far. I'm working my way through the toppings, but so far pineapple, mango, strawberries, blackberries, and granola are my favorites. Quality down the line. Love.

    What do you crave when it's November and dark and 35 degrees out? Berryline pumpkin pie yogurt with Oreos on top? ME TOO!!!!!! This was my first ever Berryline experience after driving past it 17 million times and even meeting one of the owners at a Yelp event. Day-m, what was I waiting so long for? It is a delicious, tart, and yet sweet dessert. Or snack. Or dinner. Or whenever, really. It's a dessert that's honestly not that bad for you. Maybe even a little good for you. I think it's good for my soul. Seriously. They always have the regular flavor, but have two other flavors that change as the seasons do. I LOVE places that change their offerings regularly - it makes me that much more likely to come back! Prices were fair slash way less than an itty bitty bit of Haagan Daaz would cost, and with just an itty bitty bit of the fat of Haagan Daaz. Now if only I can figure out how to install a Berryline store in my house... or barring that, getting them to open one in Brighton Center...

    Fan.tastic. BerryLine has never let me down. When I first fell in love with froyo I wasn't aware there were any places around Boston. Then I discovered BerryLine. All the locations are cheerful and the froyo is fantastic authentic tart yogurt. BerryLine always has surprising flavors, which I love. Anyone remember pear almond? Nutella? Pomegranate? Mango? I'm always pumped to see what fun flavor they'll have. The green tea and watermelon flavors featured last week were by far my favorites, especially with a nice topping of BerryLine's amazing homemade mochi. If I could choose any mochi to top my froyo with, it would always be BerryLine's. Fresh and just chewy enough to be yummy, their mochi has an amazing sweet rice taste that I haven't experienced with any other mochi I've ever had. I can never resist topping my yogurt with it. The other toppings are phenomenal as well. The fruit is always fresh. All I can say about the prices? The prices are great. If you get froyo anywhere in Boston, make it BerryLine. By far the freshest and most delish I've had in the area, so far.

    I love BerryLine. Delicious and light indulgence. :) It always gets me in a good mood--- especially on sunny days. The only thing that is not amazing is that on sunny days the line is very long--- still the wait is worth it. They change flavors every week, and they are all guaranteed to be delicious--- fruit is always fresh

    Yay! Fun times, great yogurt, really friendly staff. You get more than Herrell's for a lower price. Just try to go earlier in the day - it's incredibly packed at night and the line is crazy (and the place is downstairs). Don't forget to get one of the cards - I filled up *four* of them this summer. Yes, that is a lot of BerryLine. What can I say, it's delicious.

  • Jim C.

    Saw that the California tart froyo craze was hitting Boston so had to check out this place in Harvard Sq to see how it compares. BerryLine is a worthy contender. They have 3 flavors: original tart, guava, and cinnamon apple(?!). Orignal was pretty good with a nice smooth texture. It was just slightly tart - I do like mine a bit more tart but this was fine. Cinnamon apple is the most original flavor I have seen across all the froyo shops I've been to. It was like eating tart froyo and apple pie at the same time - sounds very strange but strangely tasty! A small got you a decent portion of yogurt and they are generous with their toppings (mine was kiwi). They don't have as extensive toppings as the places in San Francisco Bay Area. The place itself is a cute little basement hole in the wall next to a crepe shop and not easily visible on sleepy Arrow St unless you were looking for it. However, it was fairly busy with quite a few froyo fans going in and out. Bottom line: Froyo: 4.5 stars + Originality for cinnamon apple flavor (0.5 stars) = 5 stars

  • Jennifer K.

    This place kinda kicks a$$. 25 calories per oz, with a choice of 5, 8 or 12 oz sizes. Simple choices for flavor. Yummy choices for toppings. Priced comparable to many other ice cream type shops. Very nice employees. We went on a cold rainy day, so there was no line, which made the process very easy. I wasn't prepared for the more sour-ish flavor, but I have to say I liked it. Esp with the strawberries and chocolate chips on top, which gave it just enough sweetness. And after devouring a medium, I still felt like I hadn't had a huge cup of ice cream. A nice feeling, and not one you get from other brands. I'll be back in the summer.

    Next to parking tickets from the City of Cambridge, there is nothing else that appears with more regularity on my credit card statement than Berryline. To think of it, those parking tickets often came as a direct result of parallel parking in front of food establishments. Not that I've gotten a ticket in front of Berryline....yet (knock on wood). Let's see...if 1 small order is 5 oz. and I avg. 18 visits per month (give or take, sometimes more), that's...holy crap! Equivalent to 68 pints of Ben & Jerry's ice cream! Thank God it's fat free and low in calories. Try the mochi with mango and strawberries on original. It's more than enough flavor and creaminess to satisfy those pesky premium ice cream cravings.

    FACTS & FIGURES: FROZEN YOGURT ADDICTION OVERVIEW Frozen yogurt is a frozen dessert made from or containing yogurt or dairy analogues, and is considered a low-fat and low-calorie alternative to ice cream. Frozen yogurt dependence (or addiction) is the physical and psychological dependence on the regular consumption of frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt is powerfully addictive and versatile, coming in many flavors and potentially accompanied by multiple delicious toppings. EXTENT OF USE According to the 2007 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) approximately 150.8 Americans aged 3 or older reported trying frozen yogurt at least once in their lifetimes, representing more than 50% of the population aged 3 or older. Additional 2008 NSDUH data indicate that approximately 7.5 million (3.1%) reported past year frozen yogurt consumption and 904,000 (0.4%) reported past month frozen yogurt consumption. The 2007 NSDUH results also indicate that there were 305,200 persons aged 3 or older who had consumed frozen yogurt for the first time within the past 12 months. PRESENTATION AND HEALTH EFFECTS Frozen yogurt is a strong central nervous system and digestive system narcotic. Physical effects of frozen yogurt consumption include decreased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. Users may also experience sudden onset headaches from the cold, and euphoria. The immediate craving of the addict for more soon after consumption is due to the short-lived high that usually subsides within an hour, leading to prolonged, multi-dose binge use. When administration stops after binge use, it is followed by a "disappointment" (also known as a "sigh"), the onset of a severely dysphoric craving with esclating desire until sweet foods are again consumed. Frozen yogurt has positive reinforcement effects, meaning that good feelings become associated with the dessert. This causes a frequent user to turn to frozen yogurt in the face of bad news or mild depression. This activation strengthens the response that was just made. It has been shown in studies that rhesus monkeys, provided with a bowl of frozen yogurt and bananas, prefer the dessert over food that is in their cage. TREATMENT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with Motivational Therapy (MT) has proven to be effective in treating frozen yogurt addictions. However, this is dependent upon the addict's willingness and desire to cease their addictive behaviors. Even among the most determined, relapse rates among frozen yogurt consumers is 70-80%. Many users find that it is easier to live and feed their addiction, but with less frequency or in smaller quantities.

    I absolutely love Berryline! Their frozen yogurt is so delicious and smooth. It's true to the taste of yogurt too with a tangy zip to it. I don't feel guilty when I eat their frozen yogurt, the toppings are all so fresh, and they give you tons of toppings on your yogurt. The service was super friendly and we even got free cookies today that the owner had baked. What a great treat! :)

  • Peter G.

    A secret recipe? If you've ever made anything in a kitchen you know that the recipe is equally important if not more than the ingredients themselves. With this in mind, there are only two reasons to have a secret recipe: 1. You want the marketing benefits of having a 'secret recipe' 2. You don't want your customers to know precisely what's in your product Berryline doesn't make a point of telling you that its recipe is secret, so it must be that they don't want us to know what is in their frozen "yogurt". Following the unfolding of Pinkberry ( nytimes.com/2008/04/12/u… ), I find myself particularly suspicious of an identical business making similar health claims with a similarly secret recipe. But more on that later. The shop is clean with plenty of natural light. The interior often fills up and feels a bit crowded with people coming to get their fix. The service itself was awesome. Halfway through asking what the original flavor tasted like I had a sample in my hand. Nothing but smiles here from start to finish and they are eager to give you suggestions of their favorite combinations. The product alone is really quite good, the familiar tanginess of yogurt without being too sweet. It is a welcome change from the existing frozen confections in this city. In America's mecca of ice cream, Berryline is a welcome addition. But is it really made from yogurt? Who knows. Does it offer any or even a fraction of the health benefits of real yogurt? Who knows. It's certainly tasty and offers itself as a very enjoyable and healthy alternative to ice cream. But take note that the extra large printed nutritional information measures a SINGLE ounce of the mystery delight; and in small lettering tells you to multiply by 5, 16, or 32 depending on the size you ordered. Hey, it's still better for you than ice cream but I couldn't help but feel it was slightly misleading. In closing, in a world where the number of people with serious allergies is ever-increasing not being able to name precisely what is in your product is stupid and downright insulting to your customers. It really, really bugs me actually. To make matters worse, ONLY the owner (who isn't in the store all the time) can say for sure what is or isn't in it. So people with food allergies better call ahead on this place, but it IS worth the extra effort.

    Holy beejesus! That about sums up my experience at BerryLine. I was sick and tired of seemingly being the only one in all of Boston and Cambridge that hadn't tried the delicious goodness that is BerryLine. So, I pleaded with Jess to take me to the wonders of BerryLine (Ok, it was more like, "Hey you wanna go to BerryLine? Sure. But you get the picture). So we hopped on the 69 and made our merry little way to BerryLine. The flavors of the day were Original, Blueberry, and Banana. I went with the Original/Blueberry swirl (classy I know), along with some fresh (and GIGANTIC) blackberries and chocolate chips. All for a mere $4.20ish. So needless to say, BEST frozen yogurt I've ever had. Puts every other frozen yogurt to shame, I mean, it's not even comparable. It tastes so fresh and you wouldn't even believe it's only 25 calories an ounce. Jackpot. And with the mountains of fresh berries that are offered, there's no feeling of guilt, ever (even while comparing dinner rolls, but that's another story). The employees are extremely nice, and Jess informed me that the owner was a fellow Yelper!! So if you're reading this, I may have fallen in love! Shhhh, don't tell Joe. Actually, the day after, I dragged Joe to BerryLine and tried the banana. Holy crap. I may have to move in next door. It's like crack, but it's actually good for you. Just another reason why I need to move to Cambridge....

    Banana Frozen Yogart? Pilled with mounds of fresh strawberries, mango and kiwii? Oy! Writing this review makes me wish I had another Berry Line sitting next to me! Generally I don't like to compare places to big chains, but I think the Pinkberry reference just has to be made here. So why do I think Berry Line is better? 1. Its local, Matt the owner is uber nice and a fellow Yelper 2. The flavors change!! At all times they have original plus two rotating flavors!! I stopped in for Banana and Blueberry and KNOW I have to go back within the week before Banana is gone! But then every time I visit its a new flavor adventure :) 3. FRESH FRUIT, like really fresh and sweet! Visiting LA all the time I have had my share of this stuff, and this is the freshest fruit I have come across! Plus, that cute mural on the outside wall gets me every time! The fun little Pineapple and Kiwi hanging out together as all the chocolate chips dance around them, I LOVE it! In the words of the Terminator, as in terminate as much Berry Line into my stomach as possible, I WILL BE BACK!

    Oh BerryLine, how I love thee. Tiny, tiny store. Super delicious fro-yo. And if you eat nothing but BerryLine for a week - you may even lose weight: berryline.wordpress.com I love the seasonal flavors (Apple + Pumpkin Pie recently), the fresh fruit toppings (grapes - surprisingly good), and the incredibly friendly staff. Just wish there were more places to sit inside during the colder months.

  • Katie L.

    Healthy fro-yo is enough to draw me in to any eatery, but BerryLine makes it even better with a huge variety of fresh fruit (always varying) to dump on top. I lovelovelove that the yogurt is not super sweet - this is not the faux ice-cream style yogurt. It is way better. The only downside is that they don't have many places to sit inside. In the warmer weather you can wander around outside with your delish, healthy treat, but the lack of seating has kept me away during the cold winter.

  • Tim S.

    East-coast Pinkberry. That's right; I said it. It's the tangy yogurt flavor you've come to love and expect combined with fresh fruity goodness. Or chocolate. They won't judge. Don't expect much room to sit and enjoy your coffee or froyo, but I bodily drag people here anytime I'm in the extended Harvard Square/Cambridge area and they (my friends) usually seem much less dubious on the way out than they were on the way in.

Pinkberry may be comparable and a lot trendier, but it's a national franchise. BerryLine is locally owned and uses local ingredients. That makes it so much more awesome. Don't let the new Pinkberry take over the business around here! BerryLine rules!!!!!!!!! :D

    I need to review things I don't like, every review I write is of things that make me happy. Berryline makes me very, very happy. This isn't frozen yogurt pretending to be ice cream, folks. This is frozen yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt. It has the consistency of soft serve without that heavy feeling afterward. I get a small with whole raspberries and cut strawberry, delicious. Larges are a good size for sharing. MMMMMMMMMMMBerryline.

  • Leighann F.

    Love you for having raspberry, the greatest fro-yo flavor of ALL TIME. Not super psyched about the absence of chocolate sprinkles and cones. Will I still come here whilst passing by? Of course! But I'll head to the location closer to Porter Square for the aforementioned treats and accompaniments. Yep, they are still getting my few bucks over other fro-yo-places in the area!

    (4)

  • Barney B.

    OK, this place made me realize that there is a difference between 'frozen yogurt' and 'froyo' - and this place is definitely the former. This is not the stuff that you get when you have a hankering for ice cream, but want to behave. This is the place you go when you have a hankering for Yoplait, but want it really cold. It's a dieter's delight - and diet + ice cream substitute just don't mix. I mean seriously - try it without the oreo topping and it's a cup of Dannon stuck in the freezer. It doesn't taste like dessert - it tastes like yogurt - really cold yogurt. so if you are gunning for a smoothie - and you realize that smoothie shops strangely don't really exist here - head to this place. but dammit, if you want dessert - go somewhere that actually serves it. Come on, you deserve it!

  • Daniel M.

    I don't know nothin' 'bout no pink berries, red mangoes, or berries from da hood. I do know that this was the best pre-dinner fro-yo I have ever had. Ok so it was the first pre-dinner fro-yo but still. The. Best. I like that the yogurt is more than a delivery vehicle for sugar, it's a platform for fruit to assault your senses. So simple yet so effing good. One bite and suddenly: *cue choir* I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of? I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for... This left me walking around Harvard square for somewhere to sit and fully experience the treat. I think I love you isn't that what life is made of? Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way... It would be cruel to compare BerryLine to any other yogurt I've had. There really is no comparison.

  • Melissa N.

    BerryLine yogurt is as addictive as crack. And, as a former crack addict myself, I do not take this analogy lightly. In fact I refer to it as crack yogurt and routinely find myself saying things like, "I could stop after just one if I really wanted to" or "I never eat crack yogurt when I'm alone" or, after a brief no sugar stint, "See, I didn't have any for two weeks--clearly I don't have a problem." The worst part is, I've become a crack yogurt pusher. I am responsible for spreading the addiction to my roommate, my ex-boyfriend, and most recently, my workout buddy, Layla P. OK, I was never really a crack addict; but seriously, don't try it unless you are ready to start making BerryLine runs in the middle of winter. Because you will.

    This is, hands down, my favorite place in Cambridge. It's perfect all year round (except when it closed for, like, 3 days in the winter aka the 3 worst days of my life), any time of day (thankfully I work nowhere near there or it would be breakfast, lunch, & dinner) In my opinion... best flavor: original or blueberry best topping: yogurt chips or mango SO tasty :)

  • Bret C.

    3 stars+ for the concept - it's unique and incredibly popular. 3 stars for the taste because I'm more of an ice cream guy. But give this place a shot - just watch out for the lines. The place is MADNESS on a nice day! Be prepared for a moderate wait. They are willing to let you sample any of the flavors which is a nice touch. Pick the fro-yo flavor you want and then throw on a collection of fruit and/or candy/cracker toppings.

    (3)

  • Maria V.

    I am a BIG fan. They have a small selection of flavors, but they're all good ones -- when I went they had passionfruit and kiwi, for example. The prices are eminently reasonable, and oh yea, the froyo ain't half-bad neither! Most of the time I actually prefer frozen yogurt to ice cream -- I know, BLASPHEMY -- and this is very good frozen yogurt. I got a medium portion and it was very generously sized -- I walked with it from Harvard all the way to MIT down Mass ave and it lasted me the whole way.

  • Rob Y.

    Food = Great place for refreshing frozen yogurt. You have 3 flavors (regular, raspberry, and passion fruit). All flavors are deliciously light and all the toppings available go well with the yogurt. If you go for the first time and unsure which flavor to choose, they will be more than happy to give you samples. This little shop also provides nutrition facts for their relatively healthy treats. Service = Service was great and cheerful. Ambiance = This is a nice little shop to chill out after a hot day. The colors of the interior also bring a relaxing and refreshing feel. Overall Opinion = Awesome place for a cheap refreshing cold treat!

    Can't believe I couldn't find it so I never went till about two weeks ago. It's not in the main Harvard square, so it's kind of tucked away. Original tart is really good, though it is much sweeter than Pinkberry or Yogurtland. Very affordable. Wish they had more flavors, but hey, it ain't Yogurtland either! Yum. And at 25 calories an ounce (small is 5 ounces) it's even less calories than a yoplait lowfat yogurt.

    Okay so now that I have found that they have mochi, this place is now up to five-star level because its got the best of everything. Only negative, my friend asked to try a piece of the yellow-kiwi and they said no...whats the harm in doing that?

    Great tasting frozen yogurt. Lots of topping options. This is a great concept that is executed well here. The flavors rotate (aside from Vanilla and I think Chocolate) so it always feels like you can try something new. The location is fairly convenient (not RIGHT outside Harvard stop but pretty close) and the line usually isn't too long. They also accept credit cards which is a nice plus. I've seen the same type of place in a couple cities, so I'm not sure "who copied who" but that doesn't bother me much anyway. I just know I enjoy coming here often!

    Oh man. I am officially an ADDICT!! I went back again today. I just went on Saturday. I can tell this is going to be a problem. First: the owner Matt pm'd me after my first review - love that he's so involved in his company and with his customers. Stuff like that matters and makes a difference. Second: I figured out the medium 8oz has 200 calories and 8 grams of protein and no fat - is this possible?? Is this true?? Did I read the menu wrong???? If it's correct perhaps I can replace 2 meals a day with this place... yum. ha ha ha Third: the fruit is seriously fresh! Tonight I got the original with blueberries and it tasted like I had just picked them. SO tasty! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Keep up the great work!!!

    Y'know when you'll opt to take the longer route to work and be like 20 minutes late to get some of this fro yo goodness, you've got yourself a money maker. I can see this place expanding all over Boston but I'm very pleased with it's proximity to Harvard Square. I also really enjoy it's adorable mural on the side. Plus, free wifi. OMG free wifi. I could LIVE here. This place is strategically located behind the equally delicious crepe place. A good day consists of a spinach and tomato crepe followed by a strawberry, blueberry and chocolate chip fro yo. It's pretty low-cal from what I've gathered so I've been able to work it into my diet nicely. I've also increased my fruit intake. lol It's open pretty late too. I think 11 on weekdays and 12 on weekends. (don't quote me on that) So what are you doing? GO NOW!!!

    Berryline (verb) - To intravenously inject frozen yogurt + your choice of toppings achieving a state of euphoric bliss and an unbreakable addiction. ex. Earlier today, I berrylined original yogurt, strawberries and white chocolate pieces. Since then, I've had to rob two old ladies to get the money for another fix. - Pinkberry is the original, and not in Boston. Berryline is a damn good substitute. If you haven't jumped on the latest asian inspired dessert craze, you have not yet lived.

  • Layla P.

    Fabulous place - same idea as pinkberry from what I gather. The frozen yogurt isn't your typical taste like nothing frozen lump or a desperate attempt to taste like ice cream - it really seriously tastes like frozen...yogurt...like the yogurt you buy in the dairy section. It's great! They have an original flavor which tastes like plain yogurt and then I believe they rotate other flavors and usually have 2 others at one time (eg banana and strawberry today). And like others have said, the fruit selection is amazing (eg today I had mango and kiwi) and fresh - you can watch them cut it in the back. Don't forget to get a punch card so you can get a free medium serving after you buy 10! I do wish they had more seating though:(

  • Francesca R.

    What makes Berryline kick all other frozen treat establishment's asses? Their merry-go-round of unique flavors. Some are stellar (lychee & mango were the best...ever) and some don't always hit the mark (grapefruit and apple were interesting but too tart). They also have creative and delicious toppings - I'm a mango whore myself but recently branched out and had apple with graham crackers which was lovely. The staff are really friendly and will always give you a wee sample with a smile. I also like the space, which has a cutesy-cheerful ambiance and comfy, albeit limited, seating. They have a customer rewards card - buy ten get one free. I'm so happy I can easily walk here during my lunch breaks - it's going to be a delicious summer.

    Boston's version of Pink Berry - awesome! Try the original yogurt with some delicious toppings like raspberries, chocolate chips, and coconut. I'm so psyched to have found this place, as my recent NYC Pink Berry experience was so it good it made me contemplate a move to the big apple.

    Whatever you do.. don't accept the frequent buyer card. IT ENABLES! STEP AWAY FROM THE COUNTERRRRR. I less than three raspberry froyo w/almonds and peanut butter chips.. it's the stuff that hopes and dreams are made of. Oh Berryline..I've seen you more than most of my friends in the past month. Nuff said.

    A sweet small shop with friendly/fabulous/funky fresh/fierce employees! Came here last night, while in town for a conference. I sampled the fresh rotating flavors (banana and strawberry) and settled on the original plain yogurt with strawberries and golden kiwis on top. It was so yummy! It's great that they're not trying to be an "ice cream shop" - they've got a niche for what they're doing and it just works. If I lived in Cambridge, I'd be coming here all the damn time.

    I could eat Berryline every day. I tried Berryline last year while interning in Harvard Square and have not stopped thinking about it since. Original flavor with strawberries and chocolate chips is my favorite.

  • Tracy K.

    I thought I never wanted to step foot into a frozen yogurt place again after trying (and throwing away) Pinkberry last year. But I'm not one to say no to food, so I gave BerryLine a shot and I'm glad I did. It's not too sour like PB, it tastes light and fresh, and the flavors are not overbearing. I like the original, but I'm always up for new flavors. The mojito sticks out in my mind as being one of the better ones. Peanut butter was good too. In terms of toppings, stick with the fruits, nuts, and granolas. It's not BerryLine's fault, but I don't think the texture of chocolate chips and peanut butter chips and the like go well with frozen dessert. Now if only they'd build another one on campus...or at least offer a catering service (PB does)...

    (5)

  • Anthony R.

    Looks like I'm in the clear minority here and I feel bad spoiling the party, but I'll go ahead and say it: BerryLine's frozen yogurt is certainly novel, but I do not think that it is good. Yes, it has few calories in it. Yes, the staff is friendly. Yes, it's tasty when you load it up with fruit, oreos, or M&Ms. But hold on - is it tasty without those things? I found myself making sure I got a mini M&M in every spoonful so I could avoid the straight taste of the yogurt. Maybe I'm not cool enough - or maybe the calories in my dessert don't disturb me that much - but if I get a hankering for something cold in Harvard Square, I'm going to Herrell's and having a deliciously fatty frozen ice cream that tastes sublime without having to add M&Ms. If I want yogurt, I'll buy a quart of Stonyfield.

    YUM! I think that I've found my new "happy place." I like what they've done to this place and what they'll be doing for my tummy. Apparently I had never had proper frozen yogurt prior to this, but it's the real deal people. Like other reviewers said, sweet and tangy. Also, the fruit is great quality, worth every penny!

    Thanks to BerryLine Delicious frozen yogurt Not too caloric

  • Kristina D.

    I am yelping from BerryLine right now because my small original with strawberries and graham crackers is so good and relatively calorie-free. It is tiny but on a winter Sunday afternoon it is practically empty except for another girl on a laptop and three girls who just walked in as I typed the last sentence. Just heard all three girls order larges--now I am jealous because I just finished mine. Tomorrow I am giving a pop quiz in my Algebra 2/Trig class in which the students must calculate how much frozen yogurt "Ms. B" can order if she runs for 25 minutes averaging 14 calories/minute on the treadmill. BerryLine also pwns Arch's (an otherwise fine Charlottesville institution) in friendliness, atmosphere, and (lack of) presence of squawking sorostitutes.

  • Jocelyn C.

    This place is much-welcomed addition to Harvard Square! Everything is fresh and delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything you order. I tried the Red Line smoothie my first time there, and it totally hit the spot. Have tried a few other smoothie combos out as well, and those were equally as good and refreshing. Great place to stop in when you're aimlessly walking around the Square and need to take a break.

  • Liz E.

    I find this place delicious. I'm making my friends who haven't eaten here come with me on my now frequent trips. The general goodness comes from: 1.Great taste. The perfect blend of tangy and sweet. Its not trying to be ice cream, it is what it is: great frozen yogurt. 2.Generous portions. Not in the "fat" way.. in the "its okay to eat lots of fruit and yogurt" way. 3.Affordable, even for addicts. The similarities to Pinkberry are obvious but somehow I'd rather eat at a nice local joint than journey to New York to spend twice as much. Whatever local flavor (creamy, sweet..) that differentiates it between its Pink cousin is probably the result of the owner's taste and is appreciated by my taste.

  • Michael D.

    I had seen this place time after time through the window of {shameless} Arrow Street Crepes, which is sort of upstairs and around the corner from BerryLine. I finally visited last week, and I was blown away! ...Mind you, not blown away by an overwhelming number of choices, or by a wall full of complicated options that sound equally, if undecipherably, delicious. BerryLine sports a small number of frozen yogurts, but pushes its original: a plain-yogurt flavor, subdued but sweet, just creamy enough, and delightfully light in the kilocalorie department. It's a solid, reserved base flavor that's perfect for carrying any number of their classic mix-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, toffee, strawberries, and the like. Add a smattering of smoothies, and high-quality, energetic service, and you have a sleek, happy operation that disarms with its charms. Visit and love.

    If you have read any of my reviews, you would know that I love cheap booze and don't often make it to the Cambridge side of the river. BL does not have booze and is on the other side of the Charles, but it is a place that I can see myself at frequently. Freshest fruit I have seen on the east coast, extremely nice and knowledgeable staff, a wonderful and delicious product, and a fun place to eat it in. Thanks BerryLine, I will be back.

  • Maggie B.

    This is real frozen yogurt, and it's the best I've had in New England. It's slightly tangy, slightly sweet and perfect with fresh fruit, or a few chocolate chips. This little shop has been host to numerous little eateries. I especially liked the crepe shop that went out of business some years ago. But it's a cute location, just outside Harvard Square. There's only enough seating for about 10 people, but who wants to sit when you could taste and stroll through Cambridge. As others have said, I'm not sure how healthy this all really is, but it FEELS healthy and I FEEL better after only a few ounces so go ahead and indulge. And don't forget those chocolate chips. :)

    I used to frequent TCBY until I experienced Berry Line. Huge huge huge fan. Always get a small original with strawberries, banana and granola. Never a long line & prices are reasonable. It has become my new Summertime Sunday night ritual.

  • Renee H.

    If I lived or worked in Harvard Square, I would have clogged arteries from eating huge helpings of this every single day. It's good. It's sooo good. It is the best frozen yogurt that I've ever eaten in my life. (Obviously, this isn't low-fat, low-cal fare. This ain't health food frozen yogurt.) Their choices are always original plus two other flavors, often fruit flavors, but sometimes something like peanut butter or Oreo. (I'm not sure why some reviewers seemed to be expecting ice cream here, actually.) The original is actually my favorite, but I do occasionally give the others a try. They're always happy to give you a little sample to help you make your decision. There's a decent selection of toppings (candies, cookies, etc.), although I usually stick to the fruit. The cost of a cup of fro-yo with toppings here is cheaper than or comparable to a lot of ice cream places. And marginally healthier.

  • Lily L.

    Ambiance: A bit of a walk from the main Harvard T, Berryline is quaint and cozy. Seating is a bit limited, but you can always burn the calories by walking and eating. It's a relatively healthier treat after all. Your choices are written on 2 walls. Food: There are 3 yogurt flavors: original + 2 others. The other flavors rotate around. So far, I've seen peanut butter, banana, passion fruit... All the flavors are variations of the same original froyo--slightly sour, that is. The toppings consist fresh fruits (e.g. strawberries, banana, pineapple, mango), chocolates (e.g. Reese's, Oreo, Heath Bar), nuts... I wish they had mochi bits though for some Asian twist to it (Yo! Berry has mochi bits and they are delicious). Service: Served by very friendly folks. Always willing to give you a sample of the flavors for you to try.

  • Jennifer H.

    This place is so overrated! Totally not worth the price! I got the tart ginger with mochi topping. The flavor of the tart ginger was not bad, though the texture was a little watery. The mochi, on the other hand, was terrible - hard and flour-y! Cambridge needs more Korean froyo places to bring down the price and increase the quality, West-coast style.

  • Meghan Q.

    The yogurt tastes like yogurt... how can you go wrong with honesty people?? The fresh fruit options appeal to my health-nut side while the oreo, chocolate chips, and other such toppings speak to the naughty sugar coated center of my heart. The flavors switch up often allowing you to play it safe with original (always available) and fruit flavors or take a walk on the wild side with some green tea or goji. The staff is friendly and always seem like they're having fun at their job! Bravo to you guys for making it happen!

    Love, Love, LOVE this place! Their original frozen yogurt has great flavor, is totally refreshing (even on a snowy winter day!). Awesome fresh fruit selection plus a bunch of other random toppings. Their small is the PERFECT size and cheap too (as long as you don't load up on the toppings). I am originally from California and have been searching for this kind of place! Light, sweet and yummy. Yea!!

    This yogurt shop makes me jump with mochi-ball induced excitement. As a San Diego resident for the majority of my existence, I was concerned with the lack of froyo in Boston-the city I'll call home for most of the next four years. When I heard about BerryLine (through ChaCha), I went to check it out ASAP. It was a summer weekday night around 10, and there was a line out the tiny door. BerrryLine looks very odd from the outside, with brightly painted fruits on a yellow background that invokes thoughts of hippie mysticisms. The relatively unassuming interior is small and lacks seating area. It took about 10-15 minutes to get to the front of the line. The cranberry flavor they offered that day was rather bland tasting, so I went with original yogurt with strawberry, mango, and of course, mochi (which is hidden in a cabinet.. for freshness??)! It is accepted that attending MIT or Harvard will set you up for life. In this case, BerryLine, started by MIT/Harvard post-docs, shows that these schools' students can create amazing frozen yogurt as well. BerryLine's froyo has a amazingly creamy texture without any hints of iciness or lurking off-flavors. It reminds me of Red Mango's yogurt, except less sweet and simply better in some unexplainable sense. The best way to explain BerryLine's froyo is that after having a small serving, I wanted to go back and eat a lot more. On another positive note, BerryLine is the first froyo shop I've been to that uses compostable serving cups! This is commendable, considering the added costs of purchasing such cups and the reasonable-when compared with other froyo shops-price of the product. Overall, BerryLine kicks ass and could whoop most of SoCal's frozen yogurt chains into icy, tarty shards. WIth a larger, more central location, it has the potential to become even better than it already is.

    Like Pinkberry, but cheaper! My friends and I have been addicted to this place since we found out about it last October. I like how they usually have two or three flavors in addition to the original -- my favorites so far have been blueberry and raspberry. I usually get a fruit topping and white chocolate chips. I find that the sweetness of the white chocolate helps to balance out some of the tartness of the yogurt. I know that white chocolate chips aren't something that people intuitively think would go well with the yogurt but trust me -- it does. The owners drop by frequently and interact with the clientele, which gives the place a friendly vibe. My only complaint is that the shop is too small -- there's barely any seating, and in winter months no one wants to go outside to eat their frozen yogurt.

    (5)

  • Anna P.

    Finally tried this place on one of the last warm days of the year. It's a little tricky to find if you don't know what you're looking for - much easier if you look for the dancing yogurts on the side of the building as you approach on Mass Ave from Central Square. The yogurt tasted very fresh. The fruit was sweet and actually ripe - which is a bonus. This felt like a much more nutritious snack than if I'd run out to buy a cookie at a coffee shop. The staff was super friendly, they gave me sizeable tastes of everything I wanted. They had a nice, chill soundtrack going and I felt pretty content to stay in the sunny alcove area reading while I ate my yogurt. They lose a star because the seating is kind of uncomfortable. I 'spose for the space they have, it's okay - and you really are meant to take your yogurt to go - but I wouldn't necessarily go here to hang out after dinner.

    This was my second time at BerryLine and I just absolutely love it. The yogurt is great and the fruit extremely fresh. Plus, they're not too skimpy with it and considering it's fresh fruit, the prices really aren't that bad. BerryLine is open until 11:00 Sun-Wed. and midnight Thurs-Sat. which I think is amazing for Boston. The first time I went the staff seemed rude and unhappy, but tonight they all seemed pretty cheery, even with the line out the door. It's healthy, but absolutely delicious and that is my favorite combination everrr. Of course, if you're not a big fan of healthy you can always get the yogurt (they have peanut butter yogurt sometimes!) with candy or cereal toppings and they let you put on your own chocolate syrup (as much as you want) or honey or maple syrup (sounds so strange, but I bet it's amazing). I'm a HUGE BerryLine fan and wish I lived closer!!

  • Nicole P.

    and there went my diet.... I know on paper that eating fro yo that tastes like real yogurt may not sound appealing but please try this place cause it's yummers! I would describe the taste as sweet and tart at the same time. There are usually 3 flavors- the original which even by itself is great I think. Last time I went in there was also oreo which was good but not my fav and raspberry which was great. You can get a combo half and half and there are tons of toppings. Toppings are creative- fruity pebbles, cocoa puffs, choco chips, pb chips, all kinda of fruit (fruit is a little frozen and would be better if it was not) and m&m's etc. By itself it's not so unhealthy, def. better then ice cream but do not pretend that it's as healthy as yogurt especially if you add toppings. I am going to try and restrain myself to once a week! It's hard cause it's only a 10 minute walk from my apt- eke!

    this is one of my froyo in a very long time..and let me say this..omfg i've missed you..i don't know why i've been neglecting you :) since i've been craving for some froyo...decided to go to the berryline in harvard square..i'm surprised that there were parking in front of the place around 6ish...the daily flavors was between cranapple or blackberry..the cranapple didn't sound too pleasing so I went with blackberry..let me say its the bomb! it didn't even taste like yogourt...i topped it off with strawberry and mochi (usually the mochi at other places are hard and aren't as chewy)

  • Geoffrey R.

    WARNING: This is not your father's frozen yogurt. If you have had Pinkberry, you know what you are getting into. First off the location is below and on the backside of Arrow St. Crepes, and actually is where Arrow St. Crepes started off. Back to the offering. This is more of a real frozen yogurt. If you have had Greek yogurt, the perfectly sour and lightly sweet mixture that has a thick creamy texture, this is almost the same but frozen. Now I would say that I don't believe the "it is healthy" hype, it is healthier than icecream but the "only 25 calories" (quietly mentioning per ounce) isn't a exactly a low calorie food. But who gets a frozen delight as a diet aid? Also the price is quite reasonable and the hours allow a quick fix at almost any hour.

    I am not trying to kiss ass since Matt W. is such a nice yelping Berryline part owner and all but BerryLine made me want to forget Pinkberry. Plus they capitalized the L in Line--soooo much better than Pb who tried to just create a fake word. Slightly vanishing that sour pucker lip taste was genius! New dessert/coffee spot.. since the whole place is super clean, cute with the Bren Bataclan art work and staff answers all your ridiculous questions with a good vibe. Fruity pebbles and pineapple success. Thanks, see you soon.

  • Jen F.

    The original flavored yogurt was a bit tart for my taste (I don't like plain yogurt though, so it is not a reflection on Berryline), but on my second visit I tried the peanut butter yogurt, and now I see why everyone else raves. The peanut butter yogurt with many ginormous chocolate chips on top definitely made a blustery Monday better. The staff is very friendly and always makes sure to give out a frequent buyer card or remind you to have it stamped. I will always prefer ice cream to frozen yogurt, but BerryLine is a pretty good alternative. And yes, I am one of those odd people that eat ice cream/frozen yogurt in the winter!

  • Rachel P.

    I love Berryline. The froyo tastes like actual yogurt, except cold, and a small has only 125 calories... so you can actually call it a healthy snack. It tastes creamy but not rich, and I find it way more filling than sorbet. I recommend sampling the flavor(s) of the week. You can ask for a taste of anything if you'll curious but not ready to commit. My favorite so far is banana, but I always look forward to trying the new flavors. There's a good selection of frest fruit for toppings, plus other standard ice cream topping stuff like candy etc. Also, I love the bright art on the walls. My only complaint is that when you start adding on the toppings, a cup of yogurt gets really expensive really fast. :(

    (5)

  • Tina L.

    I wish it didn't cost an arm and a leg to have a nice fro-yo. It is good though - better with fruit :) And I stick to the original, the flavors are a little strange b/c the yogurt is tart and the fruit adds it's own flavor to the mix. If you're a pinkberry fan - this one is more creamy and similar to the YoBerry stuff over at 88. I actually like pinkberry the best but what can you do?

    (4)

  • Daphne H.

    So this is Boston's answer to Pinkberry! I have to admit, its really good. Its creamier than Pinkberry which in some ways makes it more satsfying, they've got cool flavours like peanut butter, banana and apple. Their toppings could be a little better - my mango bits were kinda tart and graham crackers were HUGE. But for a little home grown store which is the only one of its kinda in Boston - I'm sure I'll have no choice but to come back to fill my frozen yoghurt void...unless of course, Pinkberry comes into town and takes over.

    Have you ever seen a fro-yo place that had two flavors you wanted twisted on two separate machines? Did that make you cry a little on the inside? (It's okay if you admit it, it's happened to me.) Fear not, such a fate will never befall you at BerryLine. ...not that they have a machine for every twist option, but they are more than happy to put flavors side by side for you. (!!!) Not only will they give you two flavors off two separate machines...but if you want...they'll put your toppings at the bottom of the cup instead of on top. We even joked about them offering Grapenuts as a topping, but on stipulation that they would have to be added mid-swirl so as to prevent tooth chipping. Each flavor is amazing. I personally didn't go for the side by side because I needed the pomegranate (yes! pomegranate fro-yo) in my life and didn't want to pass up the original flavor. I topped mine off with strawberries and chocolate chips. I couldn't have been happier. (although I've already conjured up about 5 more combos I need to try)It took me about 30 minutes to make up my mind. The guys that run the shop are amazing. They're smart and funny...and really, really care! (if you couldn't tell by all the above and beyond to truly maximize your fro-yo enjoying experience detailed above) They're so open to suggestions and new ideas...but I think they're doing a pretty good job as is! The yogurt is amazing! The fruit is cut fresh! (they cut both mango and strawberries while I was there) The price is more than reasonable. Local, local, local! Not only are they a locally owned business themselves, but they offer locally roasted coffee, a local artist's work adorns the shop...I know there's more, but they're definitely doing their part. This tastes so good, it can't be good for me.... wait? it might be (they're waiting on lab results. oooo science) **fat free**??? Picture me impersonating Kathy Griffin impersonating Scooby Doo ( youtube.com/watch?v=uLAJ… ) I might just find myself making more and more excuses to go to Harvard Sq. ...as well as scouting in-town vacant spaces and leaving them notes under the door.

    For me, it doesn't get much better than fro-yo with fresh fruit on a hot summer day. When they first opened a little over a year ago, my co-workers and I made frequent post lunch trips to Berry Line to beat the heat of summer 2008. Summer 2009 has become busier at work, but I still make frequent stops on the weekends and do my best to introduce new people to Berry Line. Try the "Red Line" smoothie, very tasty!

  • Julia S.

    BerryLine is the frozen yogurt against which all fro-yo should be measured. It's amazing! The crazy flavors keep me coming back for more - lavender honey, coconut almond, and nutella, oh my! Even though the toppings are great, I usually just get my yogurt plain so that I can savor the deliciousness in its purest state. Oh, BerryLine, I love you so!

  • Bryan H.

    The Greatest Place!! BerryLine has i think five different froyo basis and then you can add fruite and anything you desier ontop...its healthy, not a lot of calories (only 25) and then you can customize your treat with fruites, and other goodies!....its very very popular, some times they have a line out the door, and down the street of people to get in...VERY GOOD

    since moving Across The River, i barely come to harvard square anymore. so when my boyfriend said he was going i demanded he bring me back a berryline treat since it is rated so highly on yelp and i was curious. he brought me the original flavor with added chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. the flavor literally tasted like yogurt that had been frozen...it was pretty damn tasty. my only complaints would be the topping to yogurt ratio (very few toppings on top of the large he brought home) and the fact that since all the toppings were just right on the top, when i opened it up to check it out i spilled chocolate chips everywhere. d'oh. since now harvard square is like 99.9% chains i can appreciate that this is a locally owned place (and a yelper owned place at that).

    Just going to add to the choir. I work across the street from Berryline at ART. All the ushers are thinking of starting a support group? Why? delicious froyo that actually tastes like yogurt and some like some fakey fake processed crud. How novel! A food that actually tastes as nature intended it to....but awesome(er). The staff is incredibly nice and upbeat and there are only 25 CALORIES per ounce, so a small is 125 calories. What kind of snack food is that low calorically! That is equivalent to 1.5 Fig Newtons. Plus they have hot chocolate and apple cider with real cinnamon sticks in it AND they take debit cards ( no $5 minimum thing, too). I It's almost as if someone got into my subconscious and created the perfect eatery for me. All they need to do is start giving kittens away at the register and I'll be convinced there was some Total Recall-action going on.

    I passed this place everytime I walk on mass ave to harvard sq and always see a long line. Went in one day with my kids and mother in law to try it out. The fruit toppings are fresh and delicious but I guess we are not fans of fro-yo because we never went back. Services was good because I told the girl we were first time customers and she took her time explaining what their have.

    Good stuff! The best frozen yoghurt place in Cambridge! I live right around the corner and go to BerryLine at least twice a week. I love their changing taste offerings and the fruit toppings are fresh, fruity, and just right. And the young folks behind the bar are extremely friendly. Just the very berry long lines on sunny days are somewhat disturbing - but I see it rather as a sign of appreciation for their great frozen yoghurt taste.

    this place is adorable. i love it. i work at a regular ice cream shop, and i know its hard work. but they do a great job. the people are extremely nice. the product is great. i love the idea of a healthy frozen yogurt that actually taste like yogurt. and the fresh fruit are always the sweetest can be. i love this place and i would suggest it to anybody looking for a nice healthy dessert in harvard square. it gets incredibly busy during dessert times. it's almost incredible. a line out the door for a hundred feet at least. but the line goes pretty fast. theres barely any room in the actual place itself, but your in harvard square, i don't think you should be inside anyways.

    Dear Yelp, I know I haven't been very useful in my reviews lately. So in an effort to be better myself, I'll *try* to be useful in this review. -B.e.r.r.y.L.i.n.e- |"| !!! !!! _ _ ,,, _|_|_ ` _ _ ' ` _ _ ' '\ \ - / /` (o o) (o o) - (oXo) - - (oXo) - ([o o]) ooO--(_)--Ooo-ooO--(_)--Ooo-ooO--(_)--Ooo-ooO--(_)­--Ooo-ooO--(_)--Ooo-ooO :: I love the cute murals outside, as well as the paintings inside. :: The green tea flavor here is definitely better than Yo! Berry. I like it. ^-^ :: I know fruits are healthy, but can't you make an "unhealthy" flavor? White Russian, Bailey's, mocha, peanut butter, burnt sugar, nutella?? Please please please make a banana fro-yo and a nutella fro-yo on the same day, so I can get the two together at the same time. When I was there, the featured flavors were original, green tea, cranberry, orange, and one other fruit flavor. My suggestion is let the health nuts pick at the berries and fruits, and do one not-so-healthy flavor. :: This is just my opinion, but it was semi-annoying how the girls keep calling everyone "honey." (ex. "Hi, what can I get for you honey?") They are very friendly, but it's overdone. I wouldn't mind be called honey by a cute guy (^-^) in a diner or some fast food place, but it doesn't seem fitting to this environment. :: For toppings- choices, choices! There is a variety of toppings, and I know if I load them up, my treat will go from healthy to feeling the need to get my ass on that exercise bike! The choices are kind of typical, however. Maybe some other kinds can be pomegranate seeds, chinese almond cookies, vanilla almond granola at TJ's, dried cherries, cake pieces, salted pistachios, waffle cone pieces, real mochi (not rice cakes).. I don't like fro-yo in a cone, but I like pieces of cone in my fro-yo. :: Maybe BerryLine can serve some breakfast items once they've established their shop too. Matt W, serve some of those huge pancakes in your picture! (^o^) :: Although I don't like any healthy alternatives to ice cream, BerryLine is nice for those looking to find one. I will return though, because I am obsessively compulsive about collecting all 10 stamps to get one free frogurt! Yay! ................

    Yup, it's true. This stuff is amazing. I was craving junk junk junk so I got my yogurt with white choc chips and choc chips. Eh, next time I am getting fruit. The yogurt is just so yummy and fresh and healthy tasting, I felt like I was bastardizing it with chocolate. This is the kind of food you will crave. When it gets warmer out, you bet your ass i'll be eating berryline for lunch every day. If could motivate to make the 10 min walk from my office instead of driving, maybe I can even be "healthy." Nah. So pleasantly sour and sweet and refreshing at the same time. I wish I was eating this stuff right now.

  • Soooap L.

    food: i like their sweet, slightly tart yogurt and their fresh mochi. it's local, easily accessible, and cheaper than Red Mango. i still prefer Berryline over BoYo despite living walking distance from BoYo. service: i've had a positive experience 9/10 times. there was 1 exception where we arrived near closing and the staff were less than friendly, but i emailed the manager who quickly apologized, and sent us a kind email and gift card afterwards. in short: dependably good yogurt and humble management keep me a fan.

    Why is it that whenever I have cravings, I always tend to go the opposite direction? What do I mean? Well, let's follow Waldo! I started from Brookline (home base), then Porter Sq for lunch, then Union Sq to check out its festival, then to Inman Sq for some Christina's Ice cream...but before continuing, I thought about ice cream places that I haven't check out yet and BerryLine came up (yes, I know it's yogurt)! So it's off to Central Sq to catch the red line for the BerryLine at Harvard Sq! I almost missed this place too because of its tucked away locale off between Mass Ave and Arrow St (you're walking south from Hahvarhd Sq). The cartoonish exterior and interior makes it welcoming and makes you expect Spongebob to greet you inside (no, I wasn't traumatized as a child). There are nice small tables and chairs for you to sit in inside, as well free WiFi to get some reading done or write more Yelp reviews. Their choices are either original or flavor of the week (cranberry was this week, but others had mango, pomegranate, black cherry, and papaya) and your choices of toppings are fruit, chocolate or pb chips, granola, etc. The small was just enough for me,but they come in medium and large as well. I got the mango and pb chips on original yogurt and it was delish! The price (around $3) is awesome compared to competitions in LA (i.e. Pinkberry, Red Mango) and it tastes just as good, if not better! And fellow Yelper/owner Matt W is an equally awesome guy, putting his MIT education to run this place here. He says that he and his partner (Eric) are really enjoying this after doing this for about a month and are thinking of baked goods in the near future to complement their coffees. Give him a Yelp holler next time you stop by! One suggestion: bring in the mochi topping! So after enduring endless miles of travel, I'm a happy camper because I have yogo in my tummy (and I get extra points for putting up with Red Sox fans on the way home, right?)!

  • Krystal T.

    oooh so GOOD! Definitely a healthy alternative to ice cream. The taste is very tart, tastes just like real yogurt. The fruits are always very fresh and a MUST. Although I enjoy this place a lot, I still rather stick to gelato.

  • Yui K.

    Being so far away from Pinkberry makes me a little sad, but now there's the bigger and better Berry Line a mere hour away in nearby Boston. Though I wouldn't trek it just for fro-yo...... would I? Tasting that good and still low fat is a beautiful thing. Regular flavor never gets old. It's smoother and creamier than Pinkberry and definitely less tart, which is why Berry Line trumps Pinkberry. Now I can add pineapple topping without my glands going wild. Topping choices include your cereals, fruits, and chocolates. Personal fav: fruity pebbles, banana, and MOCHI. Inside is quaint and cute as a button.. makes you want to sit and talk about happy thoughts.

  • Will N.

    A great place to cool off during the hot summer months. Fat free frozen yogurt with fruit is a great healthy alternative to ice cream and cake. However, a $5 small desert is a bit shocking to me along with the lack of parking doesn't appeal to my taste. But the appeal is there and so are the lines so come early!!!!

  • Tom E.

    The green line sucks, the orange line is drrrty, the silver line isn't real and the blue line goes nowhere... but the red line... amongst it's other awesomenesses it now also takes you to Berryline. In fact, it goes right under it, rumbling the little shop with a bassy groan every few minutes. It rocks - literally! So get on the red line, get up to Harvard Sq and get some amazing frozen yoghurt from this cool venture by yelper Matt W and friends. They've turned a dirty old shop into a great space with funky artwork, lots of light and a sweet mural on the side. They serve smoothies, coffee and mighty leaf tea (love that tea!) to go alongside your frozen yoghurt. And let's talk about the frozen-yoghurt... there's plain and flavoured with the latter changing each week (I had blueberry). The sizes are generous and cheap considering. And for toppings there are tons of freshly cut fruit options and other lovely stuff like oreo pieces. The frozen-yoghurt is creamy and sweeter than yo berry's but (what what what?!) it really tastes of greek yoghurt. YUM! Matt tells me their recipe was customised for the New England taste. Local fro-yo for you! Go! AND DID I MENTION FREE WIFI? In Harvard Sq? Yes YES

  • Cara P.

    Berryline! I might not have found you so soon, if not for the buzz on yelp....I don't get to Harvard Square too often. So I decided to trek to Harvard square just for you!....ok and to go to Lush.......but YOU were the main reason. You see.....froyo places hold a special place in my heart. When I was younger and my mother would drop me off to go to CCD, I would run over to meet up with three of my closest friends and we would turn around and wave goodbye to our parents. We would look to our right and look to our left, than we would run like hell. Yup, we skipped every third class or so and flocked to TCBY. Sadly, our excursions stopped. Nope, our parents didn't find out. TCBY had to closedown because their employees had sticky fingers. It was a sad day for all. Since those days nothing has hit the mark until now. Yes, Berryline was seriously freakin, oh my lord unbelievable....I got the original with strawberry...You know, I just wanted to play it safe before I opened up my heart to Berryline.......just like any relationship. The original is perfect. Smooth, creamy, tastes like yogurt but not too tart like yogurt....just a nice balance.......doesn't taste artificial whatsoever. So Berryline has taken over...not just because they have delish yogurt but because they have a kick ass mural on their store front, wifi, indoor and outdoor seating, cool artwork on their walls -when I went it was art by Bren Bataclan and the pieces fit perfectly inside Berryline-, the staff was super super nice and looked HAPPY to be there.... I plan to get a bit more creative the next time with my toppings, but I think I need all I need to know to give this place five stars. If you haven't been and you love froyo....GO! It is only a few minutes from the Harvard Square "T" stop!!!! I am lucky I don't live near this place or it would definitely be a two a dayer for me.

  • Michelle K.

    When dessert time rolls around, sometimes you need a lil' somethin' somethin' that is tangy and tart. At those times, run here! Berryline frozen yogurt has filled that void left open by all of the ice cream shops around Harvard Square and done so with smiles behind the counter. PS: while Berryline has a ton of toppings (just granola is my fave: great texture and not too sweet for the yogurt), don't be afraid to buy your froyo naked! It tastes perfect as is and you may find yourself pushing aside your fix-ins to get to the good stuff!

    (5)

  • J K.

    It's on some pinkberry status but the difference is that it's a small business obviously. There's always the original flavor available and the other two are always changing. The available toppings include cool stuff like mochi, kit kats, chocolate-carmel pieces (my favorite) and of course all the fruits that you can probably think of. Just as expensive as pinkberry but if you're a regular, you get a free one per every 10 (they give you a punch card). One downside is that the place is so small and so close to harvard square that the line is almost always out the door. About a 5 minute wait, and rarely up to 10. Oh, and the employees aren't smile-and-be-happy-all-the-time machines so there's no blowing up your spot when you walk in with something like "HELLO AND WELCOME TO PINKBERRY". Just a normal "how you doing" like a normal person.

  • Dana L.

    After eating here, I don't think that I can ever eat any other froyo. In fact, that stuff isn't even froyo at all, so far as I can tell. I ordered the regular, which tasted just like ... (catch this)... Frozen Yogurt!!! Not some chemically bullshit, but actual, real, yogurt that had been frozen. Kind of sour, like real yogurt, but sweet at the same time. A perfect cacophony of flavors (or something). It was like my eyes had been opened, and I had seen the light (but not quite that powerful - this is frozen yogurt we're talking about after all, and not a drug trip or spiritual experience). You should come here. And if you are thinking about eating non-BerryLine frozen yogurt, you should be ashamed at yourself. Wow, this sounds like an ad.

    How good is Berryline? We eat it every single day. If it's cold out, if it's hot out, if it's raining, who cares--we make the 1 mile trek from the office to get our fix. So tangy, so delicious, super fresh toppings (lots of antioxidants)--nice people work there, happy people eat there.

  • Ryan L.

    This is for the Porter Square location: Having been to several different West coast yogurt chains (Pinkberry, Yogurtland, Nubi, Tutti Melon, etc.) where there's fro yo on every street corner, I consider myself a yogurt snob. That being said, Berryline does a decent job of it. Probably one of the best fro yo places in the surrounding Boston area along with Yo Berry in Brighton. The texture is smooth and creamy, and it's got that nice tart flavor that all yogurt should have. Prices are ok for MA (fro yo will always be cheaper out in Cali) and the topping selection is good. It has all the different fruit toppings you need as well as a surprising variety of mochi toppings (plain, pineapple, and something else). One thing they do need to improve on is how they store their mochi. They leave it out in open containers when they should really be storing them in closed tupperware or something airtight. I don't blame them since the owners are probably not asian and don't know proper mochi care. Mochi should be soft and spongy like a marshmallow almost, not dry and chewy.

    again, i only leave reviews for bad experiences. let me say, I love froyo and the bitter taste. im a pinkberry fiend. i dont want to get into the details of what happened, but I had a VERY bad experience here with a douchebag worker. most of the workers are pretty nice, but i seemed to get that one guy that had a serious attitude problem. My experience caused a scene a while back... i sent an email... no response back. im not gonna lie - the froyo tastes pretty good. But dont EVER get the mochi haha. I will never go back here. watch out for a thin douchebag looking guy. curlier blondish/brown hair. eyes are far apart on his face. he has an attitude.

    I don't think I've ever had frozen yogurt that tastes like real yogurt. THIS is the frozen yogurt I've been dreaming about for years. It seems like other places try to make yogurt taste like ice cream. If you like Erivan Yogurt (I buy it at WFs) then this is the ONLY frozen yogurt you'll ever want to have again. This place is wonderful. I love it.

    Berryline is awesome! My boyfriend is frustrated because after one encounter, I got hooked. He likes variety, I like sticking with what I know I love. I get original with raspberries and almonds. Amazing! Also, the service is very fast; before I've even paid, my order is ready. So, don't be afraid of the long lines! Several people's reviews have mentioned the lack of disclosure about the ingredients, which I must admit I find unfortunate. I consider myself fairly health conscious, and I like to have information about the food I choose to eat. I especially agree with Bridget who is concerned about food allergies. We all love this yogurt! I think it's fair to want to know what's in it. Ingredient list or not, I don't think I'll stop going. It's SO good - the perfect refreshing summer treat.

    A victory for Boston--a froyo place with the tart, light froyo you can find everywhere in NYC. BerryLine, as other reviewers have pointed out, have a huge variety of flavors and toppings. I ordered the coconut froyo with mango when I went for the first time, and the fruit was fresh and sweet, the ice cream rich-tasting. They have the nutrition info posted too, and I'd bet that this place does way less waistline damage than the ice cream over at JP Licks. Cute decor and location too!

  • Terry C.

    I have to say I was a bit skeptical, as I often am with "trendy" foods and fashion, but I tried BerryLine and really loved it. The flavor and texture are amazing, and completely unlike the icky-sweet faux ice cream concoction that most frozen yogurt ends up as (memories of Penguins dance in my mind). I had the original flavor with berries on top, and felt like I could have eaten another whole serving. It was that good. The staff were also friendly and smiley, and the place was packed with Harvard kids getting their fix on a Tuesday night. The line moved quickly, though, as they seem overstaffed with an assembly-line crew. Go get some!

    (5)

  • Trevor F.

    BerryLine is SOLID. Fairly hip and fairly urban, but with really good frozen yogurt. I've been about three times now and my favorite is the banana yogurt with kiwi and strawberries on top. I also enjoy the artwork on the walls and painted outside, but the absolute coolest thing about this place is that it's on Arrow Street. Which intersects Bow Street. As in, Bow and Arrow Streets. . . And, well, the frozen yogurt's FANTASTIC, too.

    (5)

  • Leroy t.

    My favorite negative review: "Personally, I don't like my yogurt sour." Tangy, dude... Fortunately for many of us who actually enjoy Real Yogurt, Berryline packs its frozen yogurt with creamy, tangy, yogurty flavor. The blended flavors are also subtle and good, especially the tropical ones. The fruit is always fresh (though the mango usually slightly underripe...pet peeve) and the other toppings numerous. Don't pass it up. It's the cleanest, freshest, and tastiest dessert you could treat yourself to.

    (5)

  • K B.

    I absolutely love this place and go there as often as I can. The yogurt is yummy, AND fat free, and there's no artificial stuff to mess it up. I love the fresh fruit topping options while they are in season... yummy, and also guilt free. The ONE thing I don't like is that they don't have sprinkles/jimmies like all self respecting frozen treat establishments. Sprinkles aren't just for ice cream. When Berry line has yummy flavors like peanut butter or Oreo, I want sprinkles, not fruit or real chocolate because real chocolate is NOT guilt free and sprinkles are-- I'm pretty sure they are fat free and have a great texture. GET SPRINKLES!!!! They you will have my unconditional love and save me a trip to Shaw's to buy some to put on myself. I think yummy is my new favorite word... but I really do love this stuff. It's delicious even without sprinkles.

    The froyo at BerryLine is awesome. I had tried pinkberry once before, and didn't like it at all. I gave BerryLine a try on the insistence of a friend and it totally changed my attitude towards this type of froyo. I tried the banana flavor, with strawberries, pineapple, and mochi and it was to die for. The long long line outside of the store was kind of intimidating, but the yogurt is well worth the wait.

    (5)

  • Jennifer W.

    Some of the best fro yo I've had and I've had a lot! I would probably rank it just behind Pinkberry. I've been here a lot when I've visited Boston and it is very very delicious. The froyo is just the right consistency and is neither too icy or creamy. Their toppings are all relatively fresh. Can't wait to go back to Boston for more Berryline!

  • Emily C.

    It's kind of far from the general Harvard Square vicinity but this place is exactly like Pink Berry except it had daily different flavors from raspberry to oreo to apple. However, to me, they all taste the same as the original with a bit of the flavor's after-taste. The toppings are great ranging from fruity pebbles to fresh fruit to graham crackers, etc. I wish they had mochi though... for all the newbies, this frozen yogurt isn't like the traditional vanilla/chocolate frozen yogurt we're used to. it literally tastes like frozen. yogurt. like the danon/yoplait kind. tangy,sour-ish. a small serving is about 100 calories and you can top it with fresh fruit or other eccentric ice-cream toppings like graham crackers and oreo bits. compared to yo-berry, this place is sooo much cheaper. yo-berry is insane as a frozen yogurt can cost up to 7 dollars easily. ridiculous. anyway, it's a small joint and can get crowded easily. there are about 10 seats in the place...so it's not great on bad weather days as you most likely have to go outside or take it to go.

  • CeeCee R.

    Berry Line froyos = addictive! Mochi topping is perfect pair to go with the froyos. The online thing is that the mochi toppings are seldom stale, you might want to ask them regarding to the mochi quality. Overall, love the Harvard Square and Porter Square location. Once you go froyos, you'd ever go back!

  • Scott M.

    The yogurt is great (I always get "original"... I know, call me old school) and the people are friendly. Yes, friendly! I asked them once why they are so warm and welcoming when there are so many other shopkeepers in the area who won't give me the time of day. Oh, it's because they're from California! Sweet.

    Seriously tasty frozen yoghurt that actually tastes exactly like yoghurt that's frozen. The plain had a slight lemony taste to it that was wonderful. I had plain with Mochi and Blueberries.

    Finally ... it is hard to find real frozen yogurt. Most are mixed with real creamy ice cream which is fine but if you know this taste already, other so called "frozen yogurt" does not taste any yogurt but plane ice cream. Anywhoo.. I tried Grapefruit and it was delicious with a bit of bitterness. My friend had original one but it was a bit too sweet to me. I hope more of this kind of store opens in Boston..

  • Bethany B.

    I had been craving some froyo for awhile, and I was ready to settle for the stuff in the food court at the mall... when, on one hot pre-summer lunch break at work, I discovered BL. Delicious. I got the original with walnuts, strawberries and oreo's. The froyo was a little tart and not over-sweetened which was a nice compliment to my toppings. I now know where I will be spending most of my summer lunches.....

    (5)

  • Ashlee C.

    Very good - tangy yogurt that has a little sweetness, but nothing like a typical frozen dessert. The fruit toppings are a little excessive in price, 80 cents for the first, 70 for the second, etc. However, after speaking to Matt W. through yelp, I now realize that the prices are as low as they can be in order for the store to be profitable. I totally appreciate Matt's honesty and the help has always been super friendly in the store - so that is a huge plus for me. WARNING: Absolutely, by no means, ever, order the pineapple yogurt. My boyfriend and I were deeply saddened to find it tasted bitter, and vaguely like under ripened cantaloupe. Unfortunately, it did not resemble the taste of pineapple at all, and worse, tasted flat out bad. From now on we shall stick to the original flavor, as it is delicious, and less risky than the specials. Overall, highly recommended. Beware of lines out the door on weekends - this stuff is good!

  • Joe M.

    Good but overrated. The service here is good. The waitstaff has a smile, greets you, and maintains cool under a long line of people in such a small hole in the wall. So I gotta give them cred for that. Unfortunately, a place like this, service isn't a big factor. I will say one thing though, they are DEFINITELY open on the hours they have scheduled. This is in contrast to the better tasting but suck service of Yo! Berry. The yogurt itself is...okay. Regular frozen yogurt, I'm not good enough to discriminate between tastes. But whether it was my strawberries or my frozen yogurt, I had ice chunks in my frozen treat. Unacceptable. Properly thaw these things, I should not have to worry about freezer burn. It's good, if you want fancy frozen yogurt and you're in the area. But if you're NOT in the area and deciding between this and other places, may want to experiment with a new place. I've got a sneaking suspicion that after this place won the Yelp best FroYo award, the quality will take a hit. Kinda wish I knew this place before it got famous. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. Maybe I take freezer burn too seriously....nah. It's frozen treats, you should know how to avoid freezer burn. Bush league stuff right there. Not sure if it was pricey. I didn't pay, my friend did. =) Update- Just got contacted by the owner, one Matt W. upon reading my review. Asked me a bit more about the strawberries and said that they don't plan on letting success getting to them and ruining the quality of food. I'm maintaining for the time being that YoBerry's was better for the time being. But I'm making a trip back to BerryLine in the near future with my friend to give it another shot. Perhaps I caught them at a bad time. I'm also adding another star. The fact he cares THAT much? Exceptional.

    The best yogurt! It's such a treat, and I don't feel as guilty. Don't get me wrong, I pile on the toppings...that's the best part!! I was happy to see that they were open until 11 on a Sunday. Depressed about going back to work the next day? Head on over to Berryline and yogurt your worries away!

    After just discovering how great pinkberry is during my last visit to NYC, I was all set to curse Boston for not having one. Then, lo and behold, I stumble upon Berryline. While it's not quite as good Pinkberry, it's still damn good. I went the other day and got an original with cocoa puffs and strawberries. As much as I like fresh fruit, I thought the acidity of the strawberries detracted from the tangy flavor of the frozen yogurt. So when I go back, which will be later today because I am a gluttonous pig, I plan to stick to cereal toppings. Also, I believe I saw a sign that said they had free wifi, though they only have small scattering of seats.

    Great fresh toppings, the frozen yoghurt is creamy and tart and tastes exactly like frozen yoghurt should, its not trying to be something it isn't. I love how they keep the toppings super fresh and simple, not complicating the yoghurt. Lines are long and the yoghurts is really good, but not sure if it's worth a 15 minute wait in a line.

    Still just as good as before, and if that wasn't enough of a reasons to go, now the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen works there. Dark brown curly hair and facemeltingly hot. Go here, you wont be let down.

    A note: I'm not picky about much but I'm picky about my yogurt. The low-down: This place is a little bit hidden, but worth finding. The decor is cute, with adorable little cartoonish paintings on the walls that I wanted to snatch up to hang in my dorm room, and a bar area by the window to sit and eat my ice cream. The choice: I opted for the Original with strawberries and nectarines, my mind all set to compare this to Pinkberry, Cherry On Top, and any of my other California frozen yogurt favorites. The tasting: I have to agree with what I've heard. This stuff is creamier than Pinkberry, and has almost a subtle honey-like taste to it. The fruit was fresh and good and I got a decent amount of it. It was good, but I'm not sure if it was perfect... The verdict: This yogurt isn't something I'll get cravings for, but it will be enough to satisfy the Cherry On Top cravings I already have.

    It was alright. I got the apple and my boyfriend got the raspberry. I guess it's unfair that we only decided to try BerryLine because we wanted something to compare to Yo! Berry. Safe to say we've sided with Yo! Berry's modest flavorings and toppings. Perhaps one day we'll be wild enough for BerryLine's boldness.

  • Frank L.

    Me to Clerk: !'ll take the pint size! Clerk to Me: Is it okay if I put the toppings in a separate container? Since the pint size is so large? Me to myself: HELL YEAH!!! Me to Clerk: Ok. Yes, I do believe that BerryLine is the best deal in frozen yogurt I've seen. But as far as flavor goes, I prefer my frozen yogurt a little more tart like PinkBerry's. I like it when it tastes like real yogurt. Also my advice is don't get the grapefruit base without tasting it, it's really BITTER!!!

    Berryline is the place to go in Harvard Square if you're looking for a cool summer treat. Ice cream can weigh you down, but nothing like a little topping of fruit to make anything seem healthy - and the yogurt is FAT FREE! Now I'm not a very adventuresome eater, but I can always find something yummy to try and Berryline - I'm a fan of raspberries + heath (and then a healthy dose of the chocolate syrup they've got in the back). Love it! Now why only 4 stars? Well, for as much as I do love Berryline, it can get expensive if you want more than a small one topping (even that gets you close to 4 bucks). But, for the occasional treat, you can't beat it!

  • Katie A.

    The best fro-yo in Harvard Square. The rotating flavored yogurts have all been really good, but I recommend banana and original. The toppings are always fresh, with their fruit toppings taking center stage. With all the fresh fruit, it is easy to feel good about what you are eating. It isn't super expensive (especially if you have ever been to Herrells!) I really like that the yogurt tastes like yogurt and makes you feel energized instead of blah. If I had more disposable income, I would find many more reasons to stop by and have a medium with mango and strawberries. The seating at this location lacks, but it is just a really small space. Unless its really rainy or cold, it is easy to find a place outside.

    You will only like this place if you like yogurt and fresh fruit. I always stayed away from "frozen yogurt" because it always tries to masquerade as ice cream, and you just can't mess with ice cream. My friend Robyn turned me on to this place. (They know her by sight now as she stops there on her way home from work every day and I am jealous of that). Yogurt is delicious...flavors are really good although I usually get original flavor and pile with strawberries and granola (YUM). I recently tried the peanut butter, which at first I didn't think would be good, but I loved it and got oreos as my topping. I've gotten a sample of ginger before, but didn't think it was too gingery (I like my ginger strong). I really like that they say that they don't always have toppings if the produce is not fresh that day...I would prefer for them to be out than to get overripe slimy strawberries. Only drawback is that it's tiny and on hot days there's a line out the door, and it can be pretty messy with food that's fallen on the floor. I noticed more flies buzzing around the last time I was there (which I know can't be helped sometimes.) Oh, another good thing is the Berryline stamp card...buy 10, and get one free. I will definitely use this.

  • Gordon B.

    Love it! Love it! Love it! but alas, there is a catch... The yogurt is too healthy so I add Oreo and graham crackers and voila! a masterpiece. Way less guilt than Ben & Jerry's and still pretty good. Edit: their marketing is purposefully misleading about the '25 calorie' thing so I had to bump them down. Good stuff just the same

  • Ryan S.

    This place is surprisingly good for you. Get the fruit/granola not the chocolate stuff. It actually tastes like yogurt. This is a great guilt free dessert. Awesome

    Mmmm mmm mmm I love Berry Line! The natural yogurt with lots of yummy toppings from fruit to yogurt chips makes this one of my favorite treats to have when walking around Harvard Square. Their Mass Ave. location is also way more roomy and has extra seating!

  • Madison S.

    Ever since I moved here from Los Angeles I have been missing Pinkberry, and this place is just as good if not better! There are plenty of toppings, and the fruit is always fresh. Prices are reasonable; it's less than Pinkberry! What else is there? Oh, the place is tiiiny but clean, the staff are nice, and the lines are loooong-even in winter!!

    I'm pretty sure they put crack in this stuff. The original flavor is the best. I could eat this every day, all day long. Doesnt really matter what topping you add-it will be tasty no matter. 2 problems...1.They advertise the nutritional content like its healthy, but it really isnt (how many "serving size"s in the dish you get? not so healthy when you figured it out...). 2. I'm a fat ass pig and bought a large with one topping (pineapple). Only cost me $6. Wtf? If this stuff wasn't crack, I'd never pay that much for dessert. Unfortunately, it is crack...very yummy crack...and my wallet got cleaned out. Oh well. I'll be back for more soon...very soon!

    Yogurt shops have sprouted on every corner here in LA, so when my friend insisted that we have froyo in Boston, I wasn't expecting too much. I was however, pleasantly surprised that a fellow Bruin opened Berryline! On the froyo spectrum, I think Pinkberry is on one end in terms of tartness.. not my cup of tea. Then Red Mango is a bit creamier, less tart, closer to soft serve. Then there's Berryline, which barely had a faint hint of tartness. I did like it though, it just didn't taste like yogurt to me. Berryline also has more topping selections, which is cool. I topped my cup with oreos and blueberries. Only as I stepped out of the store did I look down and realize what dumbass weird mixture that was. I'm still thoroughly confused at how people can eat frozen anything in a place where 65 degrees is considered a hot day?? It must be cool not to have to worry about it melting quickly I guess...

  • Katie M.

    When I first tried the tart yogurt I was a little taken back, now I am in love. I was obsessed last summer and would go more than once a week. I love the fresh yogurt with any kind of berry. So refreshing. You can also go chocolatey with it or get a variety of candy toppings.. too much to choose from and I love it!

  • tim l.

    My girlfriend and I go to Berriline 2-3 times a week. We went there last night, and both ordered an original with kiwi and strawberry. Half and hour later we began vomiting and getting very ill. I contacted the location and told them that they may want to check their fruit, but was only met with "Well, we cut our kiwis fresh daily." I was stunned at the lack of concern that the location could be serving bad fruit. I emailed customer service, and received a reply from the store general manager about their freshly cut fruit.....again with the freshly cut fruit! Later that night I received another email from the owner, once again telling me about their strict standards. I may be crazy but 2 people eating the same thing and then getting very very sick is a bit odd and more than a coincidence....I will never go to this location again.

  • Dave C.

    Absolutely fantastic! All the flavors of yogurt are great, and the toppings are always fresh and plentiful. One of the things that people aren't aware of when they first hear that it's frozen yogurt is that this stuff still retains the tartness and tangyness of yogurt, it's not the sweet wanna-be soft-serve ice cream. I tend to stick with the fruit toppings (blackberries, raspberries, kiwi, strawberries, etc...) and heavily favor the original or berry flavored yogurts (blueberry, cranberry, etc...), but it's all great. The lines get long in the summer, especially when school starts up, but the staff is fast, friendly, and plentiful so it moves quick.

  • Julie S.

    This is quality frozen yogurt. The chocolate is made with Taza, and they have a wide variety of fresh fruit toppings. My husband and I shared a large Taza with 4 different fruit toppings, all of which were delicious. As an added bonus, BerryLine has Hershey's chocolate syrup out on the counter so you can make your yogurt as chocolatey as you like. Plus, with the fruit toppings, you can pretend you're eating a healthy snack.

  • James S.

    I was really excited when I learned about Berryline; especially after reading the recent yelp reviews. So, while on a study break, I decided to venture over to 1 Arrow for a pick-me-up. I've been to a few of these new, natural style, yogurt places and I really like the ones I've tried in Los Angeles and the SF Bay Area. So why just three stars?... 1 Star deduction for the taste of the original flavored yogurt. Since I've tried a few of these natural places, I expected a more intense and pure yogurt flavor. 1 Star deduction for getting my order wrong. I ordered a small original with two toppings - strawberries and kiwi. Instead I got Raspberries and kiwi. I didn't say anything because it looked like a good combination, and it was, but that's not what I asked for. On the plus side - the pace was clean and the people were cool. More than happy to offer a free sample. I'm sure i'll be back, but I expected more.

    After a very long bike ride around Boston, our pit-stop to BerryLine seriously hit the spot! The yogurt definitely has a much more creamer consistency than the other "Berry" joint that started in California and hitting almost every metro city (which I pray doesn't make it here, or if it has, Damn!)....We tried a half original and half banana yogurt mix and topped it off with strawberries, mangoes and passion fruit. What a delight! As we headed back on our bike ride, we could only think about our next trip to BerryLine. Low in calories but loads of flavor, how could anyone say no to that! BerryLine is the spot that can satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. Love the artwork too!

    Never had better tasting frozen yogurt before in my life. I first went here this past summer when it was about 90 degrees outside and I needed a place to pop in and grab some a/c. while inside I looked up at the frozen yogurt flavors of the day (3 only). I decided to take a chance on the raspberry, and my goodness was it love at first taste. I went in several times after hoping for raspberry but I was surprised to try other flavors such as Banana, Plain, and Peanut Butter amongst others. One of the employees said they serve whatever the owner feels like serving that day, so there is no set flavor schedule, it's the luck of the draw. This is place will definitely have you trying every flavor they have to offer. p.s. - they have lots of healthy toppings to choose from.. sorry no hot fudge. :)

  • Doris W.

    I've missed you Berryline. It's been months, maybe even a year? We waited in line after eating all day and when I finally got my usual, small original with no toppings, I felt different. You changed. Where was the tartness that I fell in love with? You became more sweeter and more creamy in texture. It wasn't bad but darnit I miss the tartness!

    (4)

  • Tammy H.

    I've been craving this stuff everyday since I got back to Boston. Only made it 3 out of the 6 days I've been here! Shucks. I love this froyo (original) 'cause it's not too tart, it's creamy and not too stiff (think PB). I deduct one star 'cause they don't give you much froyo in your cup.

    (4)

  • Sarah S.

    Frozen yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt? Oh yes. Oh. Yes. A schmeck pricy for what it is. I think they charge a wee bit too much for a small sprinkling of "mix" ins that are actually served on top of your yogurt. But hey, it's still really quite good. The pomegranate and orignal flavors are truly very tasty, and the fruit mix-ins taste very fresh. And the fact that it's right across the street from the theater where I work makes it even better. EDIT: I want to give this place 5 stars- believe me, I do! Working these past few weekend, I've been there no less than twice a weekend. And dayum, this stuff is tasty. BUT, the mango I got last weekend tasted tinny and strangely metallic, and the pineapple yogurt, while it was good in small doses (ie: in a test taste), was slightly bitter and off-tasting in larger portions (ie: my actual yogurt concoction). That having been said, they had absolutely delicious blackberries and kiwi last weekend. Yeah, KIWI!

  • Rachel B.

    One flavor (plus original) sort of threw me for a loop. And I tasted something unidentifiable in the original...I want to say....oatmeal? I couldn't place it. Nice space, fresh toppings, and people behind the counter were super nice, though. And the small was generous.

    (4)

  • Megan B.

    I know I'm going against the grain here, but..... NO CONES? What kind of ice cream/yogurt shop doesn't do cones? Cups with spoons are just awkward and not the way God intended us to eat frozen delights. Also: it tastes all chemically to me. I dig the tartness, but the formulation has a weird aftertaste that makes me suspect that the stuff is chock-full of chemicals. Perhaps this is why they keep their formula a "secret"?

    (2)

  • Jenny L.

    I was really craving some pinkberry/kiwiberry so I decided to give this place a try. The original was more creamy and less tangy than pinkberry's original but still pretty good. I love the way Pinkberry's yogurt tastes like those Asian yogurt drinks so I still prefer Pinkberry. The fruit options are not as extensive as Pinkberry but is all super fresh and not frozen. The store itself is very small so the fact that it offers free wifi doesn't do much because there's no place to sit. One thing about BerryLine that I do like more than Pinkberry is the fact that they serve coffee and expresso as well as the fro yo. Overall, it was enough to satisfy my Pinkberry craving until they finally make their way to Boston. And it's definitely better than regular fro yo any day, so if you haven't given either a try I definitely recommend it!

  • Alex L.

    Meeting with a friend in Harvard Square, she directed us to what seems to be another one of the many pink berry replicas that are popping up all over the US. While this seems to be true from the toppings and flavors offered (They do have Peach though!), I must say the taste of the yogurt is much smoother than that of the original (Pink berry). The overall "berry" product was solid, though not outstanding. I would give it 5-stars if the advertised free internet worked (I'm actually sitting in BerryLine now, but this is my 4th try to post this) If you're close to Bow and Arrow, I'd definitely say its with trying out, but I wouldn't go too far out of the way for it.

    (4)

  • Chu C.

    BerryLine is located off of Harvard Square in a little bit of an obscure location, but if you have a hankering for frozen yogurt, it's well worth the stroll over there. The frozen yogurt is of a creamier texture (less icy) and less tart than their competitor, Yo! Berry, so the flavor is slightly more like ice cream. In my opinion, their fruit is of slightly better quality than Y!B, but their selection of toppings isn't quite as good. They didn't have mochi at first, which was a huge minus, but that has since been rectified. If you go later, near closing, they do have a tendency to run out of certain toppings (yes, the good ones). BL serves its product in thin cardboard bowls, which results in a lot of melting and stickiness if you take it outside of a 15 foot perimeter of the store, so plan on eating there or somewhere right outside. There ain't much seating in this tiny establishment, but they do set up a plastic table or two outside when weather permits. I've gone with a group before, and we end up standing around outside, scarfing down our froyo.

  • Elad C.

    Let me start off by saying that BerryLine is FANTASTIC, especially considering the lack of good fro-yo options in the Harvard Square area. I probably paid 2 visits a week to BerryLine over the past year before moving to Cali, and I always devoured the frozen treat. However, like almost everything else in life, BerryLine isn't perfect and there are other frozen yogurt places (e.g., Fraiche, Red Mango, Pink Berry) that are comparable if not better in some key fro-yo attributes. After trying several other fro-yo places across the country (in NYC, Boston, and Bay Area), I feel like I can now rate BerryLine objectively and more reliably. Here are the pro's and con's: Pro's: - The original is probably the best tasting original I've had anywhere because it has that tangy, yogurt flavor. I also like how they rotate flavors every few weeks. - Their topping selection is pretty good and I like their fresh strawberries and blueberries. - They have a GREAT staff that is extremely friendly and happy to be working there. - It's cheap and they have a buy 10 get 1 free loyalty card. - It's entrepreneurial and down to earth. The owners are post-docs who genuinely enjoy interacting with their customers. The place doesn't have the trendy, gimmicky feel of a Pink Berry. Con's: - They do not list their ingredients. Now I know they don't have to, but Pink Berry and Red Mango do, and as a customer I know I am very curious to know what goes in my food (especially since fro-yo has the reputation of having many "chemicals" in it). - Their fro-yo melts faster than any other fro-yo I've had. If the owners could improve this attribute in their product, I think they would top Red Mango and Pink Berry. However, as of now it only takes about 3-4 minutes for a large portion of the fro-yo to melt. - Some not so great flavors. They've had a few flavors over the past year (e.g., pineapple) that have been busts, but there are many more that have been great (e.g., lychee). - A bit too sweet. It seems like a lot of sugar goes into these things... In short, I highly recommend BerryLine - 4 stars!

  • Yianni L.

    I was walking with a friend in Harvard Square in late spring after grabbing some Dunkins when we both noticed that everyone around us was eating frozen yogurt with some pretty awesome looking toppings. We continued walking when we spotted yet another person eating the same thing and I had to find out before I went nuts not knowing. She told us it was BerryLine and it was right around the corner. We quickly rushed to get some and I was pleased with the result. The place doesn't have many flavors but seems to make up for that with the amount of toppings. I ordered mango and pineapple on mine, and I was surprised by the freshness. For being such a small place, I think BerryLine does a very nice job, and if you're more into frozen yogurt you might want to try this place out. Otherwise, stick with ice cream and go to Herrell's or Lizzie's.

    As soon as i am done w/ my stuff at work, my friends bought me to berryline (Since I already had dinner at work)... I would say it's very good Yogurt, but I am a guy, I am not interested in Yogurts & I don't know enough about it. As a californian, I would say it's just as good as Yogurt I get from the "Golden State" if not better. Friday nites, tons of students and somehow, there was parking in the street! Some sitting area would be nice.

    R-E-A-L Yogurt, frozen. So, if you want sweet, tangy, frozen yogurt topped with super fresh fruit (watch them slicing it right there behind the counter) and don't want to intake a lot of calories or fat, this is the place to go. I have had the regular flavor twice now. Once topped with delicious, in season strawberries and raspberries. Another time I had my new fave- just pineapple. Yummy fresh sweetness. I have not tried the Fruity Pebbles, peanut butter chips, or other non-fruit toppings due to my anti- corn syrup kick, but these options are available. Like other reviewers have pointed out, they also create rotating flavors. Last time I was in they had green tea, but I did not try it. My small topped with super fresh, sweet pineapple ran about $3 and change. They also offer a punch card for you frequent yogurteers out there. Go grab yourself a sizable yogurt with one or more topping for under $5 and head outside to stroll around Harvard Square.

  • B. B.

    I received a very nice note from one of the owners after posting my review. Knowing that the proprietors care about their customers' experience and opinions enough to (1) keep track and (2) try to make amends for a bad experience is heartwarming. I'm much more likely to give BerryLine another try now.

    (3)

  • Xue T.

    There is something absolutely magical about this place - it's not identical to pinkberry, red mango or your neighborhood golosi (hello new york!). Whereas the latter may taste and look like processed frozen yogurt, Berrylane throws in a kick of homemade goodness. Creamy, chunky but still light, just the right amount of tart in each flavor. They offer 3 different flavors (original (fave), coconut, blueberry) in size small, medium and large. With an order of a medium size twist (blueberry and original) and strawberry toppings, it can run you $5.00 and is good enough to share between 2 people on a cool day. Opt for a large during the summer time. The line gets long and can easily extend halfway down the block but it moves quickly and is very much worth the wait.

    16 Handles? Nope. Pinkberry? No way. Yogurtland? Um, No. BerryLine? YES, YES, YES, YES. I discovered BerryLine a few years ago, when I came on a day trip to the Boston area from school out in Western Mass. After College, a few of my friends lived in the area, and I had the pleasure of visiting BerryLine whenever I came to visit them. Ever since I moved here, I have had the perk of living within walking distance of two of these, but have only been able to make it to BerryLine three times! What I love about this place is that the menu rotates and even though this is the case, you just *know* you will always have an amazing option; maybe one week it will be oreo, and another will be banana, but regardless of how different they are, you just know they will be equally as delicious. The mochi topping is also a plus... I love mochi, and getting it with frozen yogurt is something I always look forward to. If you're around and you want ice cream/frozen yogurt, forget JP Licks, forget Yogurtland, and come here. It's a little bit out of the way, but that's with good reason -- it's so good that you're always going to want more, which is why you'll appreciate the extra walk!

    Best froyo in Harvard Square! The froyo is thick and creamy and comes in 4 sizes. The toppings are also the best in the square in terms of freshness and taste, especially the mochi! Free wifi but seating area may be hard to find. Only downside is that their froyo is a tad more expensive than other shops.

  • Dominique L.

    This quaint little Froyo store is easy to miss, which is really unfortunate because their offerings are great. Their frozen yogurt flavors are delicious, original, and refreshing and their toppings are varied, fresh, and plentiful enough to satisfy any craving that one could have. Their staff is patient and friendly and makes ordering your treat a breeze. Seating is limited, and not ideal for people watching, but the store itself has a nice ambiance. Pricing is very reasonable, especially given the nearby competition. Would definitely recommend for those seeking flavorful froyo without facing the hordes of tourists in Harvard Square

    Berry line is the original tart yogurt place in my heart. Their prices can be a little high, but their toppings are super fresh, and they have the best flavors, a bunch of which are seasonal which is so yummy. The service is good, all the people who work there are very friendly. It is definitely worth the walk from the T stop to berry line for the better quality yogurt and toppings in comparison to pinkberry.

  • Nina N.

    Definitely my go to place in Harvard Square for fro-yo. Their isn't a crazy selection of topping or flavor fro yo but just enough for you to be able to comfortably pick and pay. Very fair pricing and size option. I like how the toppings and fro yo machine are not out in the general public area, no self service option. More sanitary this way.

  • Ayelet R.

    About two years ago while in Jerusalem, I had a cup of goat milk frozen yogurt that pretty much rocked my world and completely changed my perspective on this dessert. Unfortunately, after that, I had never found one that lived up to it. I went to plenty of different places that claim to have superb froyo, and sure, many were delicious, but none were magical. I was pretty much ready to conclude that cow milk yogurt just can't compare. Then I figured I should give BerryLine a chance. Was the froyo as good as the initial goat milk contender? Well, not exactly. Was it the closest thing to that I've found anywhere else? Yep. And hey, that pretty much means it's the best froyo in Boston by a long shot. I opted for the small watermelon-original swirl with mochi. The watermelon half was mild and refreshing but the original flavor was what really won me over. I guess basic really is beautiful. Many froyos have tried, but few quite attain the perfect balance of sweet and tart that BerryLine produces. Yeah, I'm sure their rotating flavor are intriguing and all, but I can't wait to get my hands on a cup of their pure original flavor. I had high hopes for their mochi since I saw that they make it in-house, and while I loved the texture (somehow fluffy and chewy at the same time), something was kind of off in the taste, like there was something a little bitter about it. I found myself pushing the mochi aside to get to more of the delicious yogurt. The place is really cute, albeit tiny, and when I came in I hardly had enough space to stand in line. They do have really friendly staff and free wifi! I also secretly prefer places that make your froyo for you over self-serve, since they make it so much more nicely and balanced than when I try to do it myself. BerryLine, I gotta admit, you definitely live up to the hype.

  • Yuka Y.

    My 50th review will be for BerryLine! Yay~ Had their raspberry froyo+strawberry topping. Friend had the coffee oreo+blueberry. I do like the tartyness of their froyo, has a more creamy texture compared to mixx, and it's less watered down. Combo of the fruits for both of us complimented well with the froyo flavor. The thing with BerryLine though is it's not self service which is something I enjoyed through mixx. Also the toppings were mediocre but I shouldn't demand much with only 3 flavors available and there's only so many toppings that'll go well with a froyo :P I also don't like the payment system where you pay different prices if you get no toppings, 1 topping, or greater than 1 topping. If I'm gonna get toppings, i'd get more than 1 but now that there's price restrictions to get more, I'm more inclined to stick with one :P Free wifi, upbeat music, cool cashier. Nice place for dessert after filling yourself over at Lesley Uni's mini-J-town.

    I came back to Cambridge for the long weekend and knew I had to get some Berryline at some point during the trip. I made it not only once but twice! Shame didn't get to come a third time. This is what froyo should taste like!!! There are so many froyo places popping up everywhere with poor quality that people still eat cause they haven't tried the amazingness that is Berryline. Great prices, fresh toppings. Good service! Berryline please come expand in Madison, WI!

    I love this place and I don't even live in Boston. Luckily I have a lot of friends that do. Whenever I visit I force them to come here (not really since they love this place too) and get froyo. Things I love about them: - They have awesome flavors that are simple but just GOOD. like the plain tart and the chocolate. Also they aren't cloyingly sweet. Just the right balance. And it isn't GRAINY which is one of my pet peeves for froyo. - They are generous with the toppings. I usually get walnuts or fruit and they gave enough so that each bite got some topping (you know I strategize to get this) - The prices are super affordable. As a recent grad I appreciate the affordable price and the generous serving sizes. I have to hold my self back from order a larger and larger size each time. Next time I might go for a biggie, it's that good. I feel like this place should be the golden standard for all fro yo places. Possibly my favorite yogurt place. Makes me almost wish I lived in Boston. YOU NEED TO GO HERE. Wish they would open an nyc outpost but then they'd probably get mobbed.

    Can't believe I still haven't reviewed this place. The frozen yogurt itself is very light, creamy. Unlike other places you don't loose the actual yogurt flavor. I had the chocolate cake flavor and it was so unexpectedly good. Their toppings are super fresh. Berryline is very friendly and quaint, and makes for a great froyo experience!

    I'm not much of a froyo fan, but I engaged in some BerryLine action because that's what everyone else was doing (peer pressure). We picked up 2 pints of original with strawberries and mochi to go. They packed two containers to the brim, then had separate containers to hold the mounds of toppings on the side. This really maximizing the amount of froyo going on. It was pretty tasty, especially with the delectably soft mochi. This was also super economical, stuffing the 5 of us to the brim for under 14 bucks!

    Less choice than Yogurtland, but the quality is so much better! I really enjoy the Lavender Honey yogurt with the taro mochi - the mochi is decadent and you can really taste that it's homemade. The small is more than enough for one person, I might go for a micro next time. The prices are on par with Yogurtland, you just get much less of a choice for toppings at that price point. Lines are intense on a sunny day, but at least they're only a skip away from my place and open until 11pm! They also have stamp cards. :)

    Banana Graham frozen yogurt YUMM!!!! Homemade brownie topping squares and fresh fresh fruit. The strawberries were SO good! Every bite was so full of flavor. I could eat another cup right this second and I just had one an hour ago. Lol. Anyways, this place kills it.

    I never used to be a fan of froyo. When I first came to Boston, everyone was raving about Yo Berry, but I wasn't impressed. It wasn't until Berryline opened with its cute decor in the old Arrow St Crepe location that I fell in love with this delicious dessert. Seriously, the froyo here is the best. If i had to complain about something, it's that I dont live close enough to get it every day. I've tried all the chain ones, but all of them are missing one thing or another. I bring all my out of town guests here. This is the real deal people.

    I'd heard over and over that BerryLine is the best froyo in Boston, so last night I finally gave it a whirl. I'm now so used to the pull-and-pay froyo shops, that it was actually a bit weird and uncomfortable to have to talk to someone about my options and preferences. Major #firstworldproblems, right? After I got over that, I asked for a sample of the strawberry banana froyo flavor, but it was a bit too tart for me. I then decided to go with the chocolate cake flavor (the other two options were snickerdoodle and original). Since I've never been a fan of original flavor, the chocolate cake froyo was still a bit tart for my liking, but the addition of the strawberries and cheesecake bit toppings was just enough sweetness to create a perfectly balanced froyo concoction. Just call me a culinary genius. The standout of this order was by far the cheesecake! You can taste the different layers (crumbly crust, creamy filling) in each bite. Apparently BL bakes the toppings themselves, and I definitely believe it. Give me the recipe? I'm intrigued by the other flavors they have throughout the year and would definitely like to venture back to create more interesting combinations (and nom on more cheesecake bits). BerryLine, I have a business suggestion for you: sell slices of that delicious cheesecake with froyo and fruit toppings. Sounds like a winning idea, right? You'd have one regular customer, at least.

    Every time I'm in Harvard Square I see a huge line out the door for Pinkberry. Why not give a little love to BerryLine, the local Bostonian place that's just around the corner? It's just as good as Pinkberry (if not better) with similar toppings choices and they are very generous with the toppings. Not sure there's a whole lot more I can say since frozen yogurt isn't terribly differentiated from chain to chain, but my main point is BerryLine is pretty good, has a shorter line, and offers more toppings for the price. Why not?

    Really yummy froyo, but the staff is sooo RUDE!! I don't understand in what world it's okay to give my friend lip about not ordering in advance for her $43 worth of froyo when the place was absolutely dead, and there were two people working there. (Especially when the last time she ordered in advance they messed up her order) That's not okay.

    I thought I liked frozen yogurt until I tried berry line. Then I realized I had never had frozen yogurt before, and I didn't like it, I loved it. This is not some sad low fat ice cream substitute. This is a tart, tangy, unique experience that can't be beat. I usually go for classic tart, but I've had a few special flavors that were amazing as well.

  • Bela S.

    My wife likes to drag me to froyo places at least twice a week. She obviously enjoys them, although they aren't my favorite. I will usually have some of her cup, sometimes getting my own. I regret not getting my own at BerryLine the other day! They have the freshest, softest mochi that I have ever had, and it isn't overly sugared like the pre-packaged stuff. Their granola is also wonderfully crunchy, with the perfect amount of honey. You can really tell they make everything on site. There were only four or so flavors of yogurt, but that wasn't a problem. They had classic tart, which is all that mattered to me. Froyo was smooth, although a bit sweeter than I would have liked for a "tart" yogurt. Definitely not bad, just not what I am used to when going with tart. One last thing to note, this place isn't a serve yourself establishment, as has become popular with places such as orange leaf. You tell the employee what you want and they serve you. Proportions are generous, however. It's basically like a wonderful homemade pinkberry, for those familiar with the chain. Not a complaint, just an observation. We will be back, probably the next time we make a ramen run to Sapporo. :)

  • Ken M.

    BerryLine is hands down the best frozen yogurt place around. Their flavors are excellent, the quality of the fruit is top-notch, and there's something magical about the texture/consistency that the other big chains spots haven't figured out. I was about as sad as can be when the Newbury store closed and now I'm counting the days until they open up a new location on this side of the river.

  • Melissa B.

    Loveeeee Berryline!!! As a self-proclaimed frozen yogurt aficionado, this place is the best! The original flavor is a great blend of sweet and tart and there are a bunch of other great rotating flavors as well. Then, the toppings.... I tend to fluctuate between going with all chocolate or all fruit (if I am inclined to feel a little healthier). Plus, the fruit is fresh and not something that was just recently thawed from the freezer. Can't wait for more summer evenings with a berryline yogurt in hand! :)

  • Ambrose C.

    Review Update: I decided to stroll back over here when someone told me that I should get the Caramel Apple Frozen Yogurt. I decided to get a small Caramel Apple with Pineapple, Strawberries, and Blueberries. It did not disappoint. I loved the sweet creaminess and the somewhat distinct flavor. The fruits were freshly good and just made the frozen yogurt even better. I think the quality of service had depreciated a tiny bit compared to my last visit here. The enthusiasm was definitely lacking, but I guess I can understand that because they may have handled a lot of customers during a nice day. However, every time I come to this place, I did not encounter any significantly large queue. Another disadvantage this place has is that they usually have 3 frozen yogurt flavors to choose from, but I think they change them often. However, some flavors such as the Caramel Apple are so unique that you probably would not find a flavor this distinct nearby. Prices seem to slightly reasonable, and I think for the value, the prices are slightly less than Pinkberry or Red Mango's frozen yogurt. Overall, this is probably going still be my primary choice for frozen yogurt in Harvard Square, and I still believe that it is a great alternative to Pinkberry or Red Mango. Even with the new Pinkberry that has opened down the streets in Harvard Square, it will not stop me from coming to this place. I just hope there really will not be any large queues any time soon.

  • Regina F.

    With only four (rotating) flavors, a cramped basement location and only tart-ish flavors, I was skeptical about the enthusiasm emanating from Yelp. How could any non-self serve frozen yogurt place be really that great? Berryline somehow accomplishes the impossible. For someone who generally is a fan of cloyingly sweet yogurts in the tradition of cake batter, cappuccino and white chocolate, I was shocked that I could enjoy banana-grahm swirled by somebody else. And since the kind folks at BerryLine aren't topping shy, you'll get the amount of brownies, sprinkles or strawberries you request. If eating frozen yogurt is too chilling on its own, order a tea. It helps the yogurt melt and your body warm as you indulge in a slightly sweet, slightly tart treat.

  • Ned K.

    I come here pretty often as I live close, but recently I've come to the conclusion that their frozen yogurt is really hit or miss. You may go one day and it'll be awesome, but the next day it will taste like absolutely nothing. The toppings are fantastic and it is nice that it's local, but I've had a few experiences in the last couple of months where my flavors were bitter and tasted nothing like what they should have. I'll still go back, but I did think this was worth mentioning.

  • Brandy W.

    Red Mango is better. I'm not going to be able to convince any of you of this considering the CRAZY amounts of 5 star reviews on this joint, but anyway. I had a "micro" with raspberries and almonds and it cost me over $3. That's pretty spicy to me! But I guess fro-yo is overpriced.... so what's new. It was fine tasting, but not earth-shattering and not better than Pinkberry or Red Mango. Just good. Not great/amazing/awesome. Just good. Would I go back? Meh. Would I eat it if it were in front of me, sure would!

  • Traci K.

    This Berryline location is teeny-tiny - but they always seem to have the best flavors. Oreo with oreos? Dreamy. As with all Berrylines this one has friendly staff and a quick moving line. I love my frequent shoppers card...though I swear it only encourages my addiction. The location is a bit off the beaten path - but it is definitely better than Pinkberry right in the square (gross) and it's local! Can't be beat.

    Berryline remains the only froyo I like in the square. Something about the taste is just fuller and less artificial tasting. Great selection of toppings as well, although I generally prefer plain original yogurt.

    BerryLine offers summer refuge with a blast of AC and delicious froyo peppered with a fresh array of yummy toppings. Situated in a cute, little corner at the intersection between Arrow St & Mass Ave, this bundle of multi-coloured joy (even the exterior is painted in bright colours) offers four froyo flavours that change periodically with the option of having no toppings, one topping, or multiple ones. I grabbed a medium (8 oz.) with kiwi, strawberries, and mochi: Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. Overall, BerryLine is a perfect place for dessert. I was ecstatic to see they offer mochi toppings here and definitely recommend it! I can eat mountains of that stuff... Otherwise, service was bright, informative, and welcoming. They also have a punch card where you get your 11th cup free (small+multi or med+1 topping).

    I can't get enough. I have this thing where I usually don't *love* ice cream or frozen yogurt. However, once I have it, I am addicted for a few weeks (then afterwards I won't want it again). Let me tell you this, the summer of 2012 has been the summer of frozen yogurt. The BerryLine on Newbury Street had this AMAZING flavor: lavender honey. I was addicted; that was the only thing I could think about. Every time I go to this BerryLine, my fingers are crossed that they have it (but they have not). Who cares, their frozen yogurt is so good. I mad a banana (something) with mochi and peanut butter cups (actually, I'll have whatever sounds appetizing with those two add ons). I can't get enough, I can't! The people who work here are efficient and sweet. The physical layout is not conducive for hanging out and I really wish there was a table or bench outside. However, if you walk towards Harvard Square on Mass. Ave, you will find a nice park with a few benches. Watch out for the birds, though!

    Admittedly this was quite a while ago, but when I went in I ordered a plain yogurt flavor with blackberries and blueberries. The server (owner?) complained that I was asking for the most expensive toppings. Really??? It didn't taste as good, probably because I his bitterness affected my experience.

  • Eric F.

    Wow, how I forgot to put a review up years ago for this branch is beyond me. Berryline's froyo is consistently tasty across their locations and the original in Harvard Sq is obviously no exception. The staff here were particularly awesome when I took my friends here, playing awesome hip hop and R&B from the 90s =D You can't go wrong with any of the flavors and for toppings, I implore you to get the mochi - it was almost freakishly soft and even had enough flavor on its own to simply eat straight.

  • Alyssa T.

    I gave up on writing Yelp reviews a while ago, but the service (or lack thereof ) at Berryline in Cambridge has gone so far down hill that I found it necessary to update this one. My office is nearby, sometimes we troop over en masse (about 15 people or so, typically) to get yogurt to celebrate someone's birthday, greet a new intern, etc.. We are a pretty relaxed bunch, we don't rush the folks working, we leave a tip, etc.. We routinely get rolled eyes, smart-aleck comments, and generally rude behavior from the staff (and owner on occasion!). Most recently, we were the only customers on a 5 degree day in January - don't you think they'd be happy for the business? Between this and the attitude they regularly dole out for using a credit card (I get it, you get charged fees.. it sucks, but don't take credit cards if you don't want to deal with it) I think I'm officially done with Berryline, at least the Harvard Sq. location.

    Go for the original with fruit toppings. Refreshing even in the cold of winter, and clearly a must-have to survive the blazing summers... Less sweet than Pinkberry's original offering, and perhaps a bit more tangy.

  • Shing Yiing O.

    3.5 stars... I have way too high expectation on BerryLine... Especially it was voted the best fro yo... 3 flavors.. raspberry, original, and chocolate mint.. I always love my fro yo to be original or fruit's flavor.. I ordered the twist with raspberry and original.. Raspberry was pretty good.. flavorful and just the right mixture of sweet and sour... the original.. tasted slightly sugary.. not as thick enough to enjoy.. probably I just compared it to my favorite fro yo place in NYC.. called crazy banana... the original flavor at crazy banana was really flavorful and the texture is really thick just like ice-cream... I decided to give 4 stars because of the chocolate mint.. BerryLine is the ONLY place which make GREAT non-fruit froyo.. the chocolate mint is my favorite... I should have get that instead.. I actually tried it on the 2nd day just for a small sample... Their toppings were really fresh.. as you can see they pack it in a huge pack and stored it nicely.. Overall.. BerryLine is still good :)

    So, I'm definitely a froyo snob. I love my yogurt and it must be good! BerryLine is definitely the best! The yogurt is always so fresh and it takes like real yogurt. It's so refreshing. Go local and shop BerryLine. You won't regret it.

    I first came here in 2008 and was blown away. Two years later, I was excited to return to Boston, partially because I had fond memories of Berryline, and also because I had saved my punch card for two years (crazy, I know) and I had two more punches to go. Berryline has the best tasting frozen yogurt - the perfect combination of tanginess and smooth creaminess. There's none of that milky taste that has been the downfall of so many other frozen yogurts. Their mochi topping is chewy and delicious, and the fruit is always fresh. I also love trying out their fun flavors (lavender froyo YES). The atmosphere is cozy and I love how Berryline keeps it local. The artwork from local artists is always a nice touch and their little doodles outside the store are adorable! Nothing about this place feels mass-produced, which I really appreciate, especially in touristy Harvard Square. I do miss the old granola though. They used to have this chunky, kind of honey-oat granola that I would always get because it was just that good. Their new granola is good too, but not particularly special. I judge frozen yogurt places based on the flavor of their original; no place does it as well as Berryline. This place is simply the best. And it's healthy!

  • Jenn T.

    I am a fan! This place is pretty delicious, much better than pinkberry in my own opinion. They have 3 flavors at a time, with different sizes. I got nutella with strawberries and boy did they pile on the strawberries! It was delicious! The nutella was ok, there wasn't much nutella flavor to it, as it just tasted like a hint of chocolate. The service was fast and good though!

    Oh how I love you, dear Berryline. I've tried Pinkberry and the new Yogurtland, but they can't hold a candle to your sweet tart perfection. (Yogurtland doesn't deserve mention. Built as a self serve ice cream substitute, with quantity substituted for quality -- not real froyo. Pinkberry tries to capture the right fresh flavor, and their plain flavor's alright, but their strawberry somehow ends up tasting like the frozen Gogurt tubes you made as a kid. A vaguely plastic taste. Berryline's got a bright zing that will always have me coming back for more.) Any day is a good day for Berryline. It's 20 degrees out today; I think I'll go sometime tonight with a friend. Sometimes when I'm out of town I'll wistfully open up their website and look hungrily at their flavors. (My current favorites are lychee, blueberry basil, almond pear, and original with chopped ripe strawberries.) The theme is hand-painted, playful, and colorful. When you walk in (to a cloud of something sweet) you feel embraced by the space. It's a bit further from the T station and harder to find, but it's definitely worth it.

  • Kara H.

    I think the quality of the frozen yogurt is superior to pinkberry, red mango or yogurtland. It is a little pricey but I'm a snob about desserts. Sometimes I do go to Yogurtland for their better selection of toppings, but I always regret it after getting to the frozen yogurt part.

    The first three times I went here, I got lost every time. Not easy to find. But when you do eventually get there, an array of fun and unusual flavors await you.

  • Katie C.

    When it comes to frozen yogurt in Harvard Square, my heart wants to support the local business... but my stomach forces me to side with Pinkberry. The main reasons: - They only make one flavor. Original, Nutella, Oreo, Honey-Graham, Peppermint Oreo. I've tried them all, and they all taste the exact same. Even the Peppermint Oreo, which had absolutely ZERO mint taste. So you think "how innovative", but taste "how disappointing". Granted, the exotic and stronger fruit options (Chai, Cardamom, Eggnog, Key Lime, etc) do have some resemblance of flavor distinction, but mostly because of one over-powering spice that prevents you from finishing the serving. Even my boyfriend, who usually orders the medium, couldn't finish the small Eggnog. And I just prefer non-fruity flavors. - This is also more of a personal preference, but BerryLine's yogurt is too thin. While I enjoy the tartness, the consistency is not as creamy or as smooth as Pinkberry's. - It's a bit overpriced. Then again, I suppose all of the froyo joints around here are. Some pluses: I do appreciate the Micro size and unlimited toppings option that they introduced a while back. And it's fun checking out the new flavors every couple of weeks, even if I don't love ordering them.

  • Andrea B.

    When my friend told me that this BerryLine had cinnamon peanut butter as its newest flavor, I made it a top priority to get myself right over to Harvard Square after work the next day. And it was absolutely worth the trip. The balance between the cinnamon and peanut butter flavors is perfect and goes with the tartness of the frozen yogurt better than I thought it would. Add my usual toppings - mochi and yogurt chips, and you've got yourself a frozen yogurt masterpiece. So why not five stars? One thing that I've noticed in my total of three trips to this particular BerryLine is the mochi is always a little off. One time it was a little too chewy, another time it had too much flour on it. This is quite an important consideration, since mochi is my favorite and therefore most essential topping on my fro-yo. I've never encountered this at the other locations I've been to so far (Porter Square and Fenway). But it's still mochi and I still liked it, so it didn't detract from my experience too much. As soon as you get a new flavor, I will be back, BerryLine. But since that won't be for about two weeks, I'll probably be back sooner.

    What is this, and how can I convince this company to come to northern Vermont?! My only past experiences with FroYo come courtesy of TCBY, but BerryLine is wayyy better. Fresh fruit toppings atop a small cup of a sweet but not too saccharine frozen treat...yum. I had the original flavor with strawberries on top, which was awesome. A friend had the ginger-blueberry, which apparently was also really good. I will be coming back when I'm in Boston again.

  • Kelly B.

    I love Berryline. They always have good flavors (today, for example, they had honey graham and rose) and I feel good that I am supporting a local business by buying their yogurt. The yogurt is creamy and not icy like at some fro-yo places. The difference I can taste in relation to Pinkberry is that the tartness of the yogurt is more apparent. I was sad to see that their Newbury St. location had closed, but it seemed like pretty stiff competition from the Pinkberry that was across the street. In conclusion, if you are looking for fro-yo in Harvard Square and are willing to walk a few blocks, go check out Berryline. You won't be sorry!

    This is the real deal, the Holy Grail of frozen yogurt. Good flavors, just the right amount of tartness, and a nice selection of toppings. (My favorites are the fresh fruits and the Taza chocolate.) The servings are generous and the texture is always smooth. Those self serve places (there are a bunch of them now) might be more fun. Pinkberry has convenient locations in high traffic areas. But BerryLine delivers the goods, and offers them in shops with local charm and art on the walls. These comments hold for all three locations, though I find the Fenway area one a bit shorter in store charm than the other two. I miss the Back Bay store; that one was roomier and had a larger selection of flavors.

    I must have tried the wrong flavor or gone on an off day, because after reading all of these fab reviews I am not sure what went wrong. I love me some frozen yogurt and will choose it over almost any other dessert but BerryLine was a true disappointment. We stumbled upon the place on a busy night when the line was out the door which I took as a good sign. There were three options listed that night: regular, Oreo, and a pineapple blend. Where I normally go for the fruit flavors, I was in a chocolate kind of mood and ordered Oreo instead. Toppings? This is obvious, PB cups! I took one bite and was confused, took another and was asking myself "did I just get grey regular"? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate tartness of the good ol' regular flavor, but if it's called Oreo it should have some sort of hint of its flavor not just the color that the cookie would make if you throw it in the blender. I am all for supporting our local businesses so I am sure I will try BerryLine again at some point, but for now I am in no hurry.

    Mm, blackberry fro-yo? I thought I had tasted all the flavors possible, but OH, was I wrong. There are plenty of toppings to choose from, you can't really go wrong. I had the original with tazo chocolate, oreo chunks, and strawberries. Kind of a Valentine fro-yo mix in the middle of May. Without the fat! I don't know why people don't give fro-yo for V-day more often...beats flowers (you can't eat flowers). Berryline does seem to give you a little more bang for your buck over Pinkberry and Red Mango, the other fro-yo kings in the area. For a small (which is actually way more than enough), and three toppings, you only fork over $4.50. And you get to sit in a weird basement-like cove, slurping down your fro-yo like a proper obsessee.

    I can't believe it's taken me so long to review you. Well Berry line, your the original and unique yogurt shop. Why, because you introduced me to tasty/fun/ healthy fro-before it became a fad.

    I was walking on cobblestones with my heels after work to BerryLine thinking, "This place better be worth it..." and it sure Was. BerryLine is small and clean. They have a few tables and a countertop by the window for seating. There was a line out the door but it moved very fast. The flavors for the night were Original, Oreo and Lychee. I tried the oreo and lychee. The oreo was too sweet and it tasted like soft serve chocolate ice cream. But the lychee was really good. I ordered the lychee froyo with 3 toppings (graham cracker, banana and mango) for under 5 dollars! They were very generous with the toppings unlike some other froyo places. Also, BerryLine offers a good variety of toppings with a few specials such as Figs. And if you're a big mochi topping fan, i think you should definitely try BerryLine's. The mochi pieces are really big and yummy - chewy and sweet.

    Best froyo option in Boston/Cambridge area using local seasonal products for fresh flavors! You must try their homemade brownies. I have tried many available options for frozen yogurt in Greater Boston and found that BerryLine consistently tops all their competitors. Here is my ranking for the froyo venues I have tried out: 1) Berryline--both Arrow St. and Mass Ave locations 2) Pinkberry 3) Red Mango 4) Yogurtland 5) JP Licks 6) Froyo World 7) Emack & Bolio's 8) UFood Grill 9) Mixx (I am never going back to Mixx because the staff ordered me to scoop back the froyo (about two sample cups) I wasted by dropping on the machine tray when self-serving. Her reasoning was that customers must pay by weight.)

    BerryLine, you are my heart. Maybe that's why I have such an icy-cold heart, but for you I burn. You were my first taste of frozen yogurt that tastes like yogurt that's been frozen, and I've never given soft serve a second thought. Since my first visit so many years ago, I've been around the world and sampled my fair share of other tart yogurts. I've even made my own, trying to replicate the BL flavor, but there is just no duplicate and no substitute. BL is the original and the best, with just the right mix of smooth, tart, sweet, and creamy. They rotate monthly flavors, and I like trying them, but I always get the original because it's just so perfect. It's rare for a first love to last, and when it happens, it must be cherished. BerryLine, I will always come home to you in this adorable little yogurt shack.

    By far the best frozen yoghurt in Harvard square. Or maybe anywhere ever. Great study break. The hot chocolate there from Taza is good too although not always available. They have cool flavors and it tastes much more real than the other froyo places! Get the mochi on anything..!

    Berryline is my favorite froyo place in Boston/Cambridge. A small shop located on Arrow street below Zinnekin's, it can be easy to miss, save for the lines that are usually out the door (especially during the summer!). There's something about Berryline's froyo that makes it so special -- the perfect balance between the tartness and sweetness? The smooth consistency? I am not sure, but I am such a fan! They have a lot of topping options, including many fresh fruits like raspberries/strawberries/blueberries/blackberries, and so many flavors a year that they rotate around, three at a time. You can try samples of the new flavors before purchasing. I have always stuck with the original though -- you can't go wrong with that! Now, they have 4 different size cups, the new addition being the micro, which is great for when you want a really quick and relatively cheap froyo fix. You can also order pints for larger group events. Tip: get a stamp card for a free froyo after your 10th purchase!

    I love frozen yogurt, as much as I love non-frozen yogurt. It's rich and tangy, and needs only a little something to sweeten it up to make the perfect dessert. I don't like most fro-yo places, especially the ones that sell by weight. I've been to places that use vanilla yogurt that tastes pretty supermarket-y in their original tang flavor. Other places like Pinkberry and Red Mango are too sweet. Berryline is the only place where the yogurt just tastes like good, tangy yogurt. It doesn't seem like a lot to ask but apparently it is. They have free honey and seasonal fruits. When available, the plain yogurt with figs and honey is amazing. One thing to note, their flavored yogurts tend to be subtle; like the original with a hint of lavender, or raspberry or whatever. The plain yogurt flavor will always come through pretty strong. I love it, but it might be disappointing for some people.

    Excellent froyo, I recommend the granola toppings and plain flavor. It's more tart than sweet. They're good about letting you sample other flavors too so do try that if you don't want a regular flavor, though the regular flavor is excellent.

    BerryLine is always and forever going to be my one and only froyo-love. BerryLine prides itself on the healthfulness of their froyo, even the nutella flavor is ever so refreshing and light, pile up on multiple toppings (up to 4) for a small fraction of the price and indulge in the froyo heaven from the first to the last spoonful. The quirky tip jars, the funny napkin box disclaimers, the handwritten boards of flavors which changes from day to day, and the friendliest staff add so much color and livelihood to this true local flavor and makes me fall in love with them a little bit more everytime I visit.

    Personally I think the 5 minute walk from Harvard Station to BerryLine feels awfully far when it's 100F outside and you are bringing two guests who have never had frozen yogurt before. Luckily the guests liked the yogurt, and so did I, as always. Having been to Pinkberry once (ugh evil capitalist conglomerate), BerryLine is definitely worth the walk. Their yogurts have much better taste and consistency, and the prices are better depending on what you get. If you are into the yogurt + 3 toppings combination like me, you are definitely better off at BerryLine. So why 4 stars? Well, I had a feeling that service had been inconsistent these days, and when we went there, my friends didn't really get the pleasant, idiot-friendly explanation of the workings of frozen yogurt I had secretly hoped for. However, the true setback is the quality of the mochi. For some reason their consistency and taste is off these days. It's been like this the last 3-4 times I have come to this BerryLine, and somehow their mochi are just not as soft anymore. Unfortunate. Everything else is awesome! The quality of the fruit is always top-notch and the location looks as cute as always.

    You're a fool and lack a good palate if you like the sugary conglomerate Pinkberry's yogurt over this place. Now that I've offended some Yelpers, lemme tell some of the other Yelpers why they should do here. If you're looking for good fro-yo in Boston, this is the place to go. One bite into the yogurt and you will find that the texture is smooth and the taste is sweet but sour. I applaud the effort to come up with original flovors, throw them at the wall and see what sticks. I've had the pleasure of trying the Coconut and Nutella for instance and being surprised at how well that flavor and taste is drawn out throughout the yogurt. Now this place isn't better than the West Coast froyo establishments (hence one star removed) but this is great East Coast froyo. Furthermore, the place is a bit...pricey for froyo. Understandable since the quality is better and they need to stay in business versus the diluted, sugar laden conglomerates of Pinkberry and Red Mango. Furthermore, their prices are, relative to their competitors better--more bang for the buck from this place. Do endorse this local establishment. I appreciate the Harvard and MIT student collaboration to start this place being an MIT alum myself. Thumbs up!

    Best damn froyo we've had (on this continent)--and we've had a lot of froyo. Amazing flavors and plentiful toppings.

  • Josephine L.

    I used to work literally across the street from this place, which was dangerously healthy (or unhealthy....Is froyo actually healthy?). Anyway, the product is good. The new flavor of the week is always interesting, like the guava frozen yogurt that I still can't quite get out of my mind and sob a little if I spend too much time thinking about how I won't have it again. The fruit is pretty much always fresh and nicely chopped up into bite-sized pieces. But the service/clientele can really suck. Snooty, preppy, loud, obnoxious, entitled, mindlessly self-involved Harvard kids frequent this place at all hours of the sunset (when school's out) and the tiny space gets jam-packed without a single Urban Outfitter-attired body willing to just move the f**k over 2 inches so you can get your order. And it doesn't help that the place is often staffed by the exact same types of people, so no "treat the customer well" treatment here unless you happen to be the dude's buddy and know what Professor Edgarton meant in last week's chem lecture. That is probably why, since moving less than a mile away, I have never felt the need to come back here.

  • Kevin W.

    Seriously? I had high expectations for Berryline after all the rave reviews, but the mochi was hard and not sweet. The mango was in large chunks and not ripe. Even the soft ripe ones weren't sweet. The strawberry was the same as the mango. The yogurt here was sweet and creamy but there really wasn't anything outstanding about it.... I really wanted to like this place too. Maybe my bad experience is an aberration and I'll come back and try again, but I have to award Boyo the best froyo place in Boston so far. This place doesn't even rank in my top 5 froyo places that I've been to in the US, sorry maybe next time.

    (2)

  • Elle K.

    Not a fan of this location. The Porter Square one is much better. Consistency of the yogurt here has been icy more times than not, and the fruit is often overripe and mushy. I've seen flies flying around the toppings several times (Have not noticed this at Porter).

  • J K.

    It's no secret that fro-yo is totally hip and with it, just like Dr Evil. It's also no secret that BerryLine is totally the best. The mango froyo is incredible.

    BerryLine's tart frozen yogurt may be the best approximation of Pinkberry I've had to date. It's got that elusive singing tang and that creamy texture down pat. So bravo for that. The papaya and oreo, which were the other flavors on swirl, were not particularly good. They tasted like someone had thoughtlessly dumped some flavoring into the original without accounting for the fact that not everything goes with the distinctive taste of yogurt. The results were a little rancid. Even so, I would have given this place 5 stars if it weren't for the unattractive fruit. The raspberries especially looked muddled and obviously pre-frozen, but none of the fruit was fresh. Also worth noting is that BerryLine has the least Asian atmosphere of any frozen yogurt place I've ever encountered - functional lighting, no cutesy wares, and a staff comprised of bored kids in T-shirts. Baffling, considering that we yellows like to catapult our children into Harvard, but other than that, this lack of Asian flavor neither adds nor subtracts from the place.

  • Rachael N.

    Cheap, healthy, delicious. Need I say more? Okay I will. I went to JP licks and lizzie's for about 4 weeks...until I found BerryLine. My world was changed. It's actually good for you!! And there's so many toppings-real fruit or yummy junk like Oreo and Heath bar! My choice on any hot, or even cold, day!

  • Yoonie C.

    Mochi is a nice unexpected topping. Recently, I had their black cherry fro-yo and thought it to be perfect. At around $2 for a small cup, it's a fantastic sweet deal. To quote Yelp - "That was fun, let's go again!"

  • Meagan C.

    Living and working in Harvard Sq means there are a lot of options for every meal. That said I always go back to Berryline. The flavor is unlike any of the mass market fro yo places. I gladly walk past the tourist trap that is Pinkberry everyday knowing that Berryline is so much better. Favorite flavors: Tamarind, vanilla cardamom, original Also, the punch card is definitely worth it if you go often and they'll combine them if you have a few!

    (5)

  • Lisa R.

    Berryline is the bomb. I try to come to this location on weekends with my hubby. I'm always excited to see what different new flavors they have, and they always have something good. Of course you can't go wrong with the Original flavor... I'm taking a star away just because the people who work at the Newbury location are a lot friendlier, and I've also gotten some skimpy servings here at the Harvard location.

  • Michael B.

    The yogurt is good, but no better than Pinkberry or Red Mango. Definitely overhyped. Also, one of the guys who works the late shift here is a serious jerk. Apparently they changed their hours. We found this out at 11pm on Saturday (today, November 10), when the guy behind the counter refused to serve us, or even give a taste. Fine, I get that. But you don't have to be a jerk about it, and seriously, change your signs. When your website, your door, and yelp all say you're open, you can be nice to a customer who doesn't know, especially when they want to give you money and the machines are still on! "Can we get yogurt?" "no, we're closed" "Can we at least have a taste?" "The machines are still on, right?" "Yes" "so can we have a taste?" "we're closed" [note, the machines are on and the tasting cups are still out, it would have taken him two seconds] "but your door says you're open" "we're closed" "so does your website" "we're closed" "do you want our business?" "no, we're closed" "but we didn't know that" "too bad, we're closed" I also saw this same employee refuse a full customer loyalty card because "we have a different offer now". Never mind that he was violating an implicit contract with a customer, or that the loyalty cards are for precisely the customers you least want to alienate. Apparently they're so confident in their reputation, they don't feel there's a need for customer service.

    What the hell? Who even makes mass-market lavender-honey frozen yogurt to begin with, much less SO GOOD and relatively cheap? Am I dreaming? OH MY GOD, AM I DEAD? No, probably not, because I still have that rash. My point being, this place has terrific fro-yo in amazing flavors (I've also had the pumpkin and the gingerbread) with great toppings and at lower prices than Pinkberry ($3.60ish for a small with 1 topping vs. almost $5 for the same at Pinkberry, I think). The texture is smooth and rich, the yogurty tang is nicely balanced, the sweetness is just right, and the flavors taste natural and honest. And at 125 calories for a topping-free small size, you could do much, much worse things to your pants. Run, don't walk.

  • Aileen W.

    I had the most amazing frozen yogurt flavor here the other day - vanilla cardamom - blew my mind. They have much more creative yogurt flavors than PinkBerry. I also recently found out that BerryLine was founded by a post-doc from MIT and one from Harvard. Since I've lived in Cambridge for so many years, I feel an allegiance to this local chain. thecrimson.com/article/2… Since you get charged by the topping here, if you are gunning to have a cup of original flavored yogurt with the works, PinkBerry may be a more cost-effective place for you to go!

  • Emma D.

    The original + golden kiwi in the summertime = delish and refreshing! Yes, sort of pricey, but it's not like we're on the west coast. Sometimes over crowded with teenagers when Harvard Summer School is in session -- then I'd recommend going to the Porter Square location.

  • Scott B.

    Oh fill me with your sweet peanut buttery goodness. Yes, Peanut Butter FroYo... and its flavor was unexpected. Traces of peanut butter, yet still sweet as frozen yogurt should be. It was almost PB & Jish. The service was good, and the ambience was excellent. Nifty pictures adorn the walls, including a giant poster bearing FroYo Nutritional information. Almost transparent blue counters, super clean coffee station, and white walls reassure you that this establishment takes pride in keeping clean. The only downfall is the FroYo flavor selection. Three flavors to choose from: Orignal, PB, and Tamarind (which I'm pretty sure is monkey-flavored). But, despite the lack of choices, you are able to jazz up that cup with a gadzillion different toppings. Even in the middle of Winter, BerryLine is an excellent choice for a treat in Harvard Square!

  • Christina G.

    I was thoroughly impressed with Berryline. I love sweets, and given the choice between a more healthful cup of froyo and a cup of creamy, fat filled, calorie dense icecream or gelato, I'm bound to go with the latter. That was before I tried berryline. It's the best Frozen Yogurt joint I've found so far. In terms of flavor, they got it right with their yogurt. Its got just the right amount of tart and the perfect amount of sweetness. Their assortment of fun toppings allow you to transform your healthy and refreshing treat into something even more healthy ( think fresh fruit and berries) or something a little more indulgent ( think chocolate, peanut butter chips and oreo cookies) mmm.

    (5)

  • Cris E.

    Simply the best frozen yogurt that isn't loaded with hidden calories and added sugar. The fruit toppings are always fresh! Tip- get your stamp card, fill it up to earn a free yogurt. Flavors continue to change every two weeks or so, except for original which is delicious. The only drawback is a portion of the staff and really rude and miserable. Others can be very pleasant and accommodating.

    This is your local pinkberry-type frozen yogurt spot. It's a tiny little shop and it's kind of hidden. The yogurt is good and there are a ton of toppings to choose from, but they only have a couple of flavors each day, and I like more variety.

    (3)

  • Tanya Y.

    Move over YoBerry. This is the place to go for frozen yogurt (or Fro-Yo) in the East Coast. The line is almost always out the door and the decor of the place is exceptionally cute. They have three different yogurt flavors that vary from day to day. I've ran into Blueberry, Original, Passionfruit (my favorite)!, and Rose. There are variety of toppings to choose from and the key to a great froyo is choosing the right ones. I always stick to fresh fruit. The prices are decent for college kids and they even have a frequency stamp card! My Frequency card is almost full, allowing me to get a fro-yo for free! My only negative points about this place is that there is a lack of seating and restroom facilities. For a yummy, and healthy, snack, this is this place to go.

  • Nicky N.

    This place has been reviewed to death, and for good reason. Let me start off by saying I typically do not like yogurt. I have been traumatized by an unfortunate tasting of my grandparent's "homemade" yogurt, consisting of warm milk kept in a jar inside a purse by the radiator to "curdle." I have also been avoiding froyo since my first encounter with it at YoBerry, a poor excuse for a froyo place. BerryLine was amazing. Inconspicuously tucked out of the way on a side street, we would have never stumbled upon this place had we not yelped it beforehand. $5 gets you a medium with 2 toppings or a small with 3. There were 2 flavors of yogurt (free samples!) in addition to the regular, and the flavs apparently rotate weekly. Tons of topping choices: fruit, candy, cereal...settled on raspberry froyo with fresh strawberry and kiwis ... oooomg...creamy, sweet, and delicious. Gobbled it up while standing in line for a second one...like a true fatty : )

    (5)

  • Sandra C.

    I like this BerryLine, and trust me...I've had a lot of froyo before (to the point where I'm kind of sick of it *gasp*). I really like that if I bury the strawberries at the bottom of the yogurt, it freezes! And I also like the other topping...it's like a chocolate shaven thinger. The whole thing mixed real well. Honestly, I think the trick about froyo is just finding the right combo. This place needs a bathroom that's not an art gallery across the street. But I still like it.

    (4)

  • Christine S.

    I love BerryLine. Yes, there are only three flavors per day- but they are three delicious flavors. Other froyo places may offer a wider variety of yogurt flavors, but I guarantee that those won't taste as good as whatever is offered at BerryLine. My all-time favorites include lychee, vanilla-cardamom, and of course original. It's delicious and worth every penny. I love BerryLine. And, it's local! Beat that, national brands!

    I'll admit it: I have a sweet tooth, I love ice cream more than I should (I'm pretty allergic), and I love treats any time of year. It's the middle of February and there's two feet of snow outside, and my socks are soaked from trekking home in the slush? All I want is a bowl of ice cream. This is a problem, not because I'm clearly psychotic, but because I am a Weight Watcher, and I really should stick to the fro yo. Hi, BerryLine. I adore you. I like the texture, and the sweetness of the flavors. It doesn't taste quite like ice cream, and it doesn't taste quite like yogurt. It just tastes sweet and light and wonderful. Real fruit toppings? Yes, please! I do watch my portions, because even this alternative is not the healthiest, but it's certainly quite a lot healthier than the ice cream I crave at those creamery-type places. It's a sweet, light dessert that I treat myself to when I want to indulge and not feel guilty or have that heavy feeling after.

  • Elizabeth D.

    I absolutely heart BerryLine. And I love that shortly after I wrote my intial review, I received a message from the owner informing me that they would begin to update their flavors online (so that I wouldn't have to stalk them on the phone anymore) and that they were going to be opening a Fenway location. (BTW, I was totally there on opening day.) I absolutely ADORE businesses whose owners keep up with what their customers are Yelping about and can take constructive criticism. It's just plain great customer service! Reasons I love BerryLine: -25cal/oz -rotating variety of flavors -plethora of toppings -don't take money over toppings (so as not to contaminate the toppings) -3 locations (though I still wish they had a location closer to downtown/ Back Bay/ South End) -flavor updates on their website, Twitter, and Facebook -local business -caring and receptive owners

  • Jeremy K.

    Not much else to add since there's so many reviews of this place. Their various flavors are delicious and the toppings are great as well. They even cut the fresh fruit toppings to order. Some of their flavors are incredible and change all the time. They experiment a lot and you can often enjoy some pomegranate, açaí berry, and various others which is something that makes them stand apart. Oh and their nutritional information will make anyone on a diet happy and worry-free since it ain't bad for yah! I just about always get the original flavor with some strawberries and kiwis on top but won't hesitate to check out their new flavors once in a while. Their staff is very friendly and they even have a rewards card that they stamp for every visit so that you can eventually get a free serving on them. Unfortunately the only thing keeping me from more frequent visits to their store is the fact that street parking in that area isn't always easy to find but they do help makeup for it by staying open late most days. A terrific little shop!

    I've been a Berry Line fan for as long as I've lived in Boston, but for some reason am just now reviewing it for the first time. Actually, the reason that I am just now reviewing it for the first time is because recently I've been on a quest to find a tangy froyo establishment that I felt could rival Berry Line. I couldn't do it! In the past month I've been to Chill in Cleveland Circle, Red Mango, and Berry Freeze in Coolidge Corner and none of them have matched the deliciousness of Berry Line. Chill came the closest, and was more affordable, but still didn't have the same feeling. Berry Line's yogurt is the perfect amount of tart blended with the perfect amount of creamy. The toppings are unrivaled. I've yet to try Pinkberry, but I really don't think it'll have anything on my old friend Berry Line. As a colleague of mine sings, "Berry Line, Berry Line you can have it anytime. Berry Line, Berry Line have it in the winter time."

    YUMMMMMM If you've ever been to Mochi, this is essentially the same thing, without the do-it-yourself approach. They are, however, happy to let you sample anything you want before you order. I got the nutella flavored fro-yo topped with white chocolate chips, waffle cone pieces, and pecans. It was orgasmically good. I mean, come on-- Nutella fro-yo. Does it require any more explanation? I could eat this stuff every day, and the fact that is way better for you than ice cream helps a little. I'm interested to see what different flavors they get, as they rotate regularly. When I went they had vanilla, banana, and nutella, and all three were great, but I'd be stoked for some taro or honeydew or something even more exotic as well.

  • Mindy L.

    I was super excited to try BerryLine for the first time and I decided that simple was the way to go. I ordered the vanilla froyo with fresh strawberry topping. It looks absolutely yum and I was so excited to dig in...but then, oh travesty upon travesty...my mouth puckered up with sour surprise and goosebumps broke out across my skin! The strawberries were so sour and bitter...I was broken and dejected. This was not the first experience I was hoping for. On a brighter note, my friend got the raspberries and blueberries topping and I was content to take a few bites of that while he finished off my sour strawberry concoction (he admitted they were sour but refused to allow that to deter him). I give it 3 stars because the fro-yo was definitely delish. Hopefully my next time will send my tastebuds tripping with delight!

  • Larissa C.

    Love fro-yo and this place is so far the best I've had in Boston area. Nice and creamy, as compared with some other places that are more icey and less flavor. My favorite combination is original flavor with raspberries and mango, yum!

  • Joanna C.

    I really can't add anything new to the reviews to this SUPER cute fro-yo shop that specializes in fro-yo that tastes like... YOGURT! Love it! Am a HUGE fan of this stuff - I've been know to make a beeline to my fav yogurt shop in NY the minute I drive in. Or make a last ditch stop on my way out of town. Have been wanting to try Boston's version for a LONG time, and finally had an opportunity to on a cold rainy day after eating my fill of wonderful Korean bbq. The place wasn't very full (it was like 9pm on a Tuesday which was... cold and rainy), and we were able to find parking pretty quickly close by. And the minute my "original with strawberries and blueberries" hit my lips... I knew. Heaven. Exactly like the fro-yo I love in NY. Only way more accessible in Cambridge! Definitely go try it out! It's delicious. And not gonna lie - I prefer this over Pinkberry. And the store front is WICKED cute! I love how much personality it has! :) And the people behind the counter were SO nice and friendly. Yay for fro-yo!

    Admittedly, I'm a sucker for fro-yo, but this was better than most. Local! Innovative flavors! Good service! There's little more one can ask for when it comes to frozen yogurt, and so I won't. Consider me a BerryLine convert.

  • Bridget B.

    I stand corrected. My months long (apparently one sided) struggle to get the ingredients list from Berryline has come to an end, as today I received a .pdf from the very friendly co-owner Matt apologizing for the lag time in responding (i'm still a little cranky, but i also don't own a business and can reply to emails quicker so i'll get over it quickly). So, Berryline is not too good to be true. They're just good and fairly simple -AND- use hormone free dairy which is always a huge plus. Pretty much the same stabilizers and emulsifiers in every other fro-yo out there. This all makes me really happy because no one wants to be a hater (especially not me) and I am happy to know that it's safe for me (and most others with food allergies) to eat. One caveat is there -may- be trace amounts of soy and/or gluten in the product for those of you with soy sensitivities or celiac disease, though from the ingredient list I think it may be more on a flavor by flavor basis. For me it would be impossible to tell since those are two things I actually -don't- have to avoid.

    I always need a cup of refreshing froyo in my life, and if you do too then you should give this place a swirl! I always get the plain flavor (THE BEST HANDS DOWN) but there's something for everyone. What's not to love??? Come get converted ice cream freaks!

    I like this location, because its tucked away and you purposely need to go searching for it-kind of like looking for the gold at the end of the rainbow, you might say. This little place offers window seating a few tables. Currently, they offer a Nutella fro yo that's delicious. As always, their toppings are numerous. Personally, I enjoy one selection of fruit and one selection of candy. Mix it up!

    Boring Not, but also Not Divine Bury your worries in froyo fine, Better than burying them in wine or stein, Because you won't swell into rotund swine. Bring your friends; there's no long line, (and opens past nine) Begrudge the service -- likes to whine, (and has no spine) Be ready for homemade toppings that shine, Belong to tradition are the location, décor and design, Belgian waffles nearby -- Zinneken's the sign, Be quick to come to this tucked away shrine, Before all the mochi and pumpkin bread are mine, Bereft of their best, I'll leave you your loss to pine, B-grade goes to Berryline.

    As the sticker on their door says, people do love BerryLine on yelp...including this yelper! Boston doesn't have Pinkberry but BerryLine is just as good. It's a hot and humid day here so we strategically went around lunchtime to avoid the crowds that are sure to descend on this shop today. If my memory serves me right, the Pinkberry cup sizes are smaller. I truly think I got more for my money here. My sister and I shared a medium with strawberry and mango and it was probably the size of a large at Pinkberry. The fro-yo is tangy and cuts the tartness of the fruit. Kudos for the perfect fruit-to-fro-yo ratio since it bothers me when I run out of fruit and still have fro-yo or vice-versa. The shop is small with just a few seats. Since we were there so early in the afternoon, we snagged the little sunroom in the front with the stools and had a little area to ourselves to enjoy our refreshing snack. A cool respite from what was quickly becoming a scorching hot day. So glad that I found Boston's answer to Pinkberry.

    Their tagline is "Frozen Yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt!" (or something to that effect), which as a concept sounds disappointing at best and downright icky at worst. I mean seriously, you want your frozen yogurt to taste as close to real ice cream as possible without the unfortunate effect of making you fat. But here's the thing, it's expensive, it wreaks of trendiness, and... it's flippin' delicious. The first time I tried it my pallet was confused, but I left the charming little shop 10 bucks poorer and strangely compelled to come back for more. Ever since, I have to drop by every time I'm in Cambridge. Two thumbs up!

    After reading some of the reviews (and to offset the walk between Harvard Square and People's Republik), I finally checked out Berryline tonight. Simply put, I'm impressed. The yogurt was yummy, and I appreciated the ability to add toppings. On top of that, I didn't realize how much yogurt I was actually going to get until I got the cup, as the sizes were bigger than I thought they would be.

    While I am an ice cream addict, even I sometimes crave the refreshing tang of a good fro-yo when I'm having one of those "I should really be good" days. I first visited Berryline in the dead of winter and while it took a little effort to find the inconspicuous little shop, I was well rewarded for the hunt. I shared a medium portion of the regular fro-yo with fresh raspberries as a topping and it was really quite a generous amount at a reasonable price. While it's a little squishy inside, they did a good job adding little seating nooks. Service was super smiley and friendly. Time to get on the train to BerryLine!

    A few weeks ago, I innocently posted a question, "Yo! Berry or Yogurt X?" on Yelp Talk. Little did I know that the BerryLine cult members can *e- sniff* the word yogurt and start spamming a chain with their undying devotion to a yogurt joint that wasn't even part of the question. Well . . . . I had to investigate if I should join this cult. I must tell you that Harvard Square is my old 'hood, so when I saw the BerryLine location, the reasoning for this cult started to fall in place. Its current home was the first home of Arrow Street Crepes which enjoyed a similar cultist, underground following my senior year of college. It was like a Speak Easy for crepes and everyone had to try it and if you didn't, you weren't cool. Well, I am cool, so if there is a new cult in town I need to know if it's cool enough to have me on its roster. From looks alone, BerryLine is easy on the eyes (see my accompanying pictures). The staff adds a warmth and pleasure to the cooling dessert with their playful banter. I was quite frank with them about my quest to find their cult power and they teased me about needing my social security digits. (Does giving 123 45 6789 count?) The yogurt is good. Worthy of cultist love? Maybe, but not on first try. It's a great balance of an undertone of sweet with a mellowed tartness. I tried all their flavors that day (plain, blueberry and cranberry), but I wasn't hit over the head with love-with-first-spoonful. This wasn't my first tango with tangy fro yo so I am more discerning than a first time convert. I settled on enjoying a small plain with mango. They are definitely not skimpy on the toppings like Yo! Berry. But, unlike Yo! Berry, where the fruit is so succulent, the juices mingle with your yogurt, the BerryLine mango was, using a Hindi term --because Indians are the original mango dons--kaccha (raw). Tough mango is not a good combination for silky soft yogurt. They should not offer a fruit topping that day if it isn't up to topping snuff. Now is it worth it for me to head over to BerryLine when Yo! Berry is in my 'hood? No. But I will admit that each of these yogurts has its own unique charm. Ahem, BerryLine cult members, can we celebrate each yogurt shop for it owns take on more healthy fro yo? After all, shouldn't there be a flavor for everyone? Nothing is one size fits all. As for cults, if you have any more food cults you need demystified, you've got my Yelp tag, so signal me like the Batman.

    I really don't care for this ice cream. It's so bitter! Ick! I have no problem with the service or the place itself however. They do have cute paintings as decorations!

    I think I often find any excuse to go to Berryline. It's delicious and better than ice cream. The rotation of amazing flavors is key. I think I had pumpkin froyo with pumpkin bread as a topping. Seriously?? Pumpkin Bread topping! the original flavor still remains my favorite with either blackberries or mochi.

  • Mister Chub S.

    Berryline's like Frozen Greek yogurt- nice and tart. The toppings are fresh and plentiful and the portions are generous all around. It's 3.75 for a small with one topping. Not bad. The plain flavor is made with non-fat milk, cultures and cane sugar- it's 125 calories per 4 oz. serving. The only ones that have fat in them are the oreo, peanut butter and nutella. Very refreshing and so different from regular fro yo but if you don't like tangy yogurt, you probably won't like the plain.

    I wish I could give this place a higher rater. I love the frozen yogurt and the array of toppings. But the attitude that I, along with my coworkers, and CEOs have repeatedly received makes it impossible for me to rate this shop any higher. Our office is on Arrow Street so we give a lot of business to BerryLine. I've been there on various days of the week and the weekend, dropped by in the afternoon and late in the evening, visited by myself and in groups, and have purchased froyo in the middle of the summer and when it's cold. So trust me, I've given them many opportunities to win me over, but I continue to receive the same horrible customer service from the same guy. I do not know if he is the owner, a manager or the star employee (he's there a lot). But he is costing this company business and not building a fan base that should be easy - people who work on the same street and you've seen (almost) weekly. We shouldn't want to walk to PinkBerry. The most recent encounter, that prompted this post, was this afternoon. Our co-CEOs were in town and offered to buy BerryLine. So 4 of us went to buy 14 yogurts, 1 hot chocolate, and 1 smoothie. From the moment we walked in we received attitude: he was rolling his eyes, making sassy comments, rushing us to put in an order, even giving attitude when we asked for a sample. Even his request for 24 hours notice when we're going to make big orders was said rudely. We apologized and said this was a decision made 10 minutes earlier, but he still went on about how they would have additional help if they knew. Really, you're going to have a second employee come in for 15 minutes of orders? And when a customer came in after us we let her skip ahead. But when another customer arrived, and we didn't notice her behind us, he gave us more attitude for delaying sales. That is not a good Sales plan or even basic customer service. Treat all your customers with respect; don't make the people who are spending over $70 on froyo, in late October, feel bad for coming in and holding up your line! I won't say I'll never go to BerryLine again. It's too close to ignore and, while winter is coming, the summer will come again too. But feeling this way after you buy a frozen treat ruins the moment. And it definitely does not make me want to recommend BerryLine to anyone.

    The best fro-yo in Boston - better than pinkberry and red mango. The original flavor is probably my favorite but I also really like the strawberry. The mochi and a number of other toppings are home made and taste awesome. So much better than those offered at competing chains. Prices are very reasonable and they give you a number of different sizes to choose from. It's a pretty cramped location, but kind of fun with some local artwork and an energetic young crowd.

  • Jess L.

    I guess I'm still pretty new to Cambridge because I only stumbled across this place - but I'll definitely come back again! I tried their mamey flavored froyo, which I thought was pretty creative. I would have also liked to have tried to oreo. One of the guys behind the counter was surprised when I asked him to explain how "it works" ordering froyo. He seemed a little disappointed when I didn't want to add toppings. Anyway, the flavor was great. There are not many places to sit down, but I guess that's characteristic of these types of places.

  • Liz M.

    This is legit Froyo on this side of the Charles River. Caramel Apple side by side with Original? hits the spot even on a BRISK New England night. The best part about this place is that they ain't stingy about fruits. I got not one, but TWO scoops of blueberry and not one, but TWO scoops of mango. The raspberry flavor ain't that bad either...

    yeap, pretty good, its like not that expensive, but the flavor isnt really a blast in my mouth or whatever. ive had a lot of hype from friends, but it was just like there. also, there are a lot of like fro yo places in the area, and none of them really stand out. this idiot girl that was there, said that it smelled like a urinal, i dont know if she knows what is a urinal, but the place smelled like yogurt. stupid hipster. yeah, so the raspberry wasnt that flavorful, nor was their honey graham, i would have to go with original flavor, and some of the fresher looking fruit. yeah, so.

    They haven't had raspberry for awhile but now they're back!! woo hoo!! The line is crazy long at this place but you know a good frozen yogurt when you try one. Even without the toppings, BerryLine does not fail to impress. Note: Stay away from the mochi pieces, they are stinky, too chewy, and taste like flour.

  • Sarah T.

    I don't come here that often, but I really want this place to stay in business. So I'm conflicted. However, for four Saturdays this end-of-winter, I have reason to be actually on this very street. So far, BerryLine pit stop, 1 for 1. I'm always more hesitant to try more than one flavor before ordering, and because the flavors are usually sweeter, I've only ordered the original. I absolutely never get toppings at "normal" ice cream places, but an original with kiwi (a bit of natural sweetness to balance out the sour tang) is pretty much the best dessert ever ever ever.

  • Lily W.

    Ohhhh, Berryline. What can I say about you? This place is NOT a on-the-way-to-somewhere-else place. This place is a DESTINATION. It is as good as it gets here. It's a little hard to describe the yogurt itself; it has a bit of a tang and usually surprises people who have never had tangy froyo before, but it is absolutely delicious. THey usually have original, and a couple of rotating flavors which change quite often, and a wide selection of fruit and dry toppings. I have already filled up my first Berryline 'buy 10 get 1 free' cards in a couple of weeks. I can't avoid it. If I'm near one I must go, hell, even if I'm not near one. Berryline should pay me. I definitely advertise this place enough. The only downside is that it can be quite pricey, usually what I get will come up to around $5. It never deters me, though.

    After going to Red Mango and Pinkberry in NYC.. I thought, I have to find something equivalent like this in Boston. Why oh why does all the great stuff go straight to NYC first before it comes to us?!! The madness! Anyways, I went here with my sister.. and we were hooked. In fact, we put up with traffic and drove there because it was delicious. Creamier than Pinkberry and slightly more tart than Red Mango.. I think we have a winner. The place doesn't look commercial.. it's very hole-in-the wall. Ask for the mochi.. it's not a regular topping but it tastes great! And with 25 calories per ounce.. you can afford to eat it all the time. Yum!

    Hands down the best froyo in Boston. I grew up in Boston and went to school there and now that I'm in New York I can't find a single place that even compares to BerryLine.

  • Elaine M.

    I was a bit bummed when I discovered that there is no Pinkberry in the Boston area... but then, a few months ago, I read about BerryLine (a newly-opened, local frozen yogurt shop, modeled after Pinkberry) in the Metro or BostonNow (one of those). Naturally, that very same day, I found myself at BerryLine's doorstep after work... and the rest is history. Their original frozen yogurt is my flavor of choice and I get it topped with fresh fruit, usually strawberries and mangos. Quite addicting. And at only 25 calories for every 1 ounce (there are 5 oz in a small) of frozen yogurt, it's actually not too bad for you! The shop itself is a cute, bright, and happy space. Similarly, the workers have always been cheerful and welcoming. As such, if you're in a bad mood and need a picker-upper (like I did today), consider stopping by BerryLine and pick up your frozen yogurt of choice with toppings instead of grabbing whatever other higher-caloric indulgence you may have originally had in mind (i.e. a tub of ice cream, half of a chocolate cake, an entire box of chocolates... you get the idea); the cheery atmosphere will (hopefully) make you feel better, and the healthier frozen yogurt will be easier on your waistline. Keep in mind, though, that it tends to get quite busy at night (and I'd imagine even more so during the day as well in the summertime), so you may not be able to find a seat if you go during peak times since the place is quite small with very limited seating. UPDATE (02/29/2008): One of their flavors of the day was Apple, and WOW is it amazing! If you like tart/sour things, you'll love their Apple frozen yogurt. Also, considering the frequency of my BerryLine cravings has been enough to fill up one of those "Buy 10 get 1 free" cards in quite a surprisingly short time, I feel it is only fitting that I bump up my rating of BerryLine to a 5.

    Frozen yogurt isn't necessarily my cup-of-tea, but when my friend (thanks, Julia!) intro'ed me to BerryLine, I was pleasantly surprised. You can easily miss this spot while you're driving down Mass. Ave., but it's a hidden jewel (kinda hidden). The texture of the yogurt is smooth and not icy or lumpy. The flavors are very clean and the fruit toppings are fresh - complements the yogurt well. Original flavor is good (a bit sour if you're sensitive to that), but the other flavors are generally solid as well.

  • Aboud Y.

    Good tart yogurt with fresh fruit. Healthy, refreshing, and yummy. Normally I rebel against such healthy fare, but its just undeniably good! There are so many frozen yogurt shops popping up though and my palette has yet to distinguish key differences between them (e.g., Red Mango, BerryLine, bo-yo, Pinkberry, etc.). BerryLine is local and gets props for that.

    BerryLine is a wonderful little yogurt shop created by some local former students and located close to Harvard Yard. When I want a quick little meal that feels like desert, this is where I come. They have regular unsweetened frozen yogurt (which is just the right amount of sweet and tart) as well as a variety of creative flavors like graham cracker and nutella! The toppings range from classic ice cream sundae fair to granola, homemade mochi, and fresh fruit. One of the best parts is that the employees are always warm, human, and approachable; not salespersony or fake. When I first came to Harvard from the west coast I was so happy to find this place and have the cashier strike up a friendly conversation with me about Santa Cruz, Ca and Portland, Oregon. A little pricey, as everything in Harvard Square is, but awesome. I steadfastly prefer this place to J.P. Licks.

  • Emily G.

    Frozen Greek Yogurt is the best way I can describe this taste-bud tantalizing summer treat. I went with the original flavor and didn't regret it. My boyfriend got Nutella flavor. The toppings are the best and great selection between fresh fruit and candies (and even cereal). If you get the banana, make sure it is not too green though. Suggestions: Do NOT go around 9pm (they are open to midnight most nights). Line is out the door (really far), but to give the employees the benefit of the doubt, it moves pretty fast. Make sure you don't try everything all at once - get one or two (max) toppings at a time. Enjoy the FroYo.

  • Ligaya T.

    Some gal behind me in line admitted that she'd visited three times that day. Eating the divine combo of original yogo, fresh strawberries and graham crackers I thought that I too might be able to subsist on this stuff! It's super fresh with a bit of tang like real yogurt, uber creamy with a hint of sweetness. They also have a flavor of the week that they aren't afraid to experiment with, acai berry and pomegranate, to name a few. You can also grab a cup of brew (coffee and tea) as well. The place has been totally revamped and now looks gorgeous! Sweet job, Matt W and co! The walls are brightened up by local artist Bren Bataclan's colorful cartoons too, so cute. There's also a few tables out front to lick the day away in the sunshine or moonlight as they're open until midnight on the weekends!

  • Matthew T.

    Berryline has extremely delicious frozen yogurt- if I was rating on taste alone, I would rate it above a 5. The only reason why it gets 4 stars is because of the size. The place is very small and gets crowed even if there's only a few people in the place. And there's about enough seating for 5 or 6 people, which is often full, so you have to find somewhere else if you want to sit and eat. But overall, I highly recommend Berryline if you want a quick froyo fix.

    (4)

  • Sarah D.

    The frozen yogurt isn't too cold/frozen and I like it because it's not overwhelmingly sweet.The original is one of my favorites and there's many toppings to choose from (I've only had the fruit though). Limited seating so I prefer to walk outside.

    After hearing so many raves about BerryLine, this fro-yo addict had to give it a try. When my boyfriend and I approached the tiny little shop, we were surprised to find a line out the door. Holy shit, does this yogurt contain gold dust? Well, no, but it is tangy and creamy and smooth. I'll settle for that, I guess, in lieu of gold dust. I think I prefer Red Mango, which has a little more tartness, but it's a very close call. Four stars instead of five, because this place had a BerryLine-out-the-freakin'-door (who wants to wait twenty minutes for their fro-yo?); also because they didn't have any raspberries.

  • Ali E.

    The only way I will be able to remedy my indecision in the face of so many options will be to go back here eighty thousand times. I love love love this place. The staff is super friendly and understanding of my inability to choose toppings. All the fruit looked so fresh (it is - they will only offer it if it's ripe and recently sliced) and the other toppings so yummy (cocoa puffs, fruity pebbles, granola, oh my!) I just couldn't decide what direction to take my heavenly bowl of awesomeness. Ended up going with Oreo crumbles. My only complaint is that there were no sprinkles. Rainbow sprinkles make every day better. The portions are generous, and the yogurt tastes so unadulterated and and real. Healthy and cheap and delicious? Yes please.

  • Sam L.

    I'm a huge PInkberry fan, but I do like this place because the consistency and the tanginess of the "original tart" flavor is the same as Pinkberry's. (Red Mango is too creamy for my taste!) Mochi is usually my favorite topping though, and the mochi here is kind of weird. It's too squishy and you can almost feel the starchiness of it. However, the price of yogurt here is not as bad as Pinkberry's! But now that Pinkberry's in town, I wonder how the BerryLine chain will do...

    Simple review. I HATE FROZEN YOGURT. I was talked into trying BerryLine by relatives we were staying with in Boston. After trying it I NOW LOVE FROZEN YOGURT! This place is amazing!

If you never have been to BerryLine it is a must, especially if you had bad frozen yogurt in the past.

    After a long stint in NYC indulging my buds' on Pinkberry and Red Mango, I was fearful that I would no longer have my sour frozen yogurt treat anymore upon moving back Boston. As the days passed in Boston, I kept thinking- why doesn't a hip, health conscious, ice cream eating city like Boston not have a real frozen yogurt place??? I was confused. Until one day, I stumbled upon Berryline by accident. It was the best accident I have ever had....Lychee is my favorite flavor and I like it with mangoes or fresh raspberry. YUM.

    I frequent both the Harvard Sq. and the Mass Ave. locations, but I think we've hit this one just a bit more, so I'll start here. This BerryLine is tucked away on Arrow Street. I had no idea it was there til someone told me about the company and I found this location online! It's downstairs/around the corner from Arrow Street Crepes. The shop itself is really funky. Feels personal and "lived-in." It's cozy, too. Not many places to sit. But if the weather's nice, Gordon and I will take our treats to the little square near Quincy Street to enjoy. Let me begin by saying I enjoy BerryLine's original flavor yogurt more than Red Mango's. Red Mango is fine and all, but BerryLine is smoother. I also like their mochi better. It's a bit tougher, which I prefer. I usually get the Original flavor with a couple of fruit toppings and mochi. I like chocolate and ceral toppings and everything, but I'm a fruit fiend. And that's what keeps this from being a guilt-ridden indulgence. The fruit is always fresh and they're not stingy with the toppings. Gordon gets strawberries and chocolate chips every time. Every. Single. Time. He loves how they shop up the strawberries into little chunks so they're not unwieldy with a plastic spoon. I enjoy the special flavors, too, but mostly I like letting the toppings be the flavor. I've had Coconut, Tazo Chocolate and Caramel. BerryLine's great about letting you sample the yogurt and the toppings. I never would have tried mochi if the guy behind the counter hadn't offered a sample. SO glad he did. I can't imagine my life without it! We have the little stamp card (buy 10, get one free!) and we've gotten at least one free at this point. In fact, when Gordon recently left his wallet outside in the rain overnight, the one thing he made sure to dry out was the BerryLine card. After I moved back from CA, I was sad that we didn't have Pinkberry here, but I'm so glad BerryLine came to be. I love going there and I can't wait til the weather gets warmer so we can go more often!

    I was very skeptical about this place as I am not a big fan of regular yogurt, I didn't think I would like it. But I was wrong! When we entered, we were immediately greeted by the staff who asked if we wanted samples. The original was a creamier, sweeter version of regular yogurt, and I found myself liking it alot! Then the man behind the counter asked if we wanted to try the flavor of the week, in this case, mango. Sure we said, and I actually prefered it to the original. However, I did end up getting the original with chocolate chips on it. It was very tasty. There are a lot of topping options, ranging from fresh kiwis and strawberries to coconut, chocolate chips and fruity pebbles. I would go back again if in the area. Give it a try!

  • Alice C.

    I wish I knew more about Berry Line prior to setting a journey for it. See, I'm from California and we have Pinkberry there, thus, Berry Line wasn't very special to me. Berry Line's original is not as tart as Pinkberry's original. I like tart. I would have to say that Berry Line may be slightly cheaper. Either or doesn't matter because I was expecting ICE CREAM when I went to Berry Line so I think both Pinkberry and Berry Line is a waste of space in the stomach. Cotdamnit.

  • Shelly R.

    Berryline, berryline. Beloved especially by sorority girls an their girlfriends--what's that about by the way?-- it's a cute place to grab some tangy yogurt, some classic or novel toppings, and do some people watching. Toppings vary from nostalgia-inducing sprinkles to chunks of mochi! The strongest combinations always involve fresh fruit, if you ask me. As a plus, the intoxicating smell of college fills the air, complete with servers who flirt and sing along to a soundtrack of beatles tunes. Get plenty of samples, which is always another perk!

    Explaining frozen yogurt to a European can present a surprising challenge. Too many meals at American chain restaurants has left him with the conviction that all American food has a "funny, synthetic taste." I'm sympathetic to the aversion to processed American food. But I'm all about tasty wholesome food -- and Berryline delivers a sweet treat that allows the tart freshness of the yogurt to come through because they're not trying to trick you into thinking you're eating ice-cream. Berryline believes that yogurt is delicious in its own right! It's not heavy or cloying or synthetic. Well, provided you go easy on the toppings. "Peanut butter yogurt? Americans put peanut butter in everything. What is peanut butter? You don't find this in Europe." Perhaps not. Berryline's plain fro-yo is very nice with just one fruit topping. Clean and simple, and not so scary for Europeans with timid taste buds.

    Sometimes you must sucumb to the attractively delicious algarithm that the corporate chains seem to perfect. And, the equation definitely wins me over here. Though, I'm not a fan of their oreo flavor, a small original with mango and kiwi is starting to become a fixture on my quicklist of dessert options. Quick, refreshing, and never giving me the "ugh, I feel like I'm going to hurl I've eaten so much," it puts a cherry on the end of a nice day. I also like how they have a little iced water dispenser at the end of the counter and that they have a punch card for a free medium with two toppings after you get 10 of anything there. The staff are nice enough, though with the lines I've been seeing there lately, I understand that they're feeling the rush when it comes to getting the orders out within a reasonable amount of time. Don't be worried by that statement though, even with a line nearly to the door, me and mine were out of there in 10 minutes with our frozen treats. The only cons to this place, which let us be honest is really the hallmark of any frozen dessert eatery, is the small amount of seating options inside and lack of them outside. But, with the weather being as it is, why would you want to sit down when you could stroll along Mass Ave on a nice evening with a friend for some froyo and conversation?

    I went here for the first time Saturday night and got a small raspberry with kiwi and fell in love. I went back on Sunday and got a medium raspberry with kiwi and blackberries and was completely hooked. I'm an addict. I keep thinking ahead to getting my next fix, it might be time for an intervention soon! It says something when a place is tucked away in what is essentially an alley and there is a line out the door. Always. At 10 pm, at noon, it matters not, always a line. This is pure near guilt free pleasure!

    Before BerryLine, I never liked frozen yogurt. It was always too tart and lacked the creamy consistency I'm fond of from ice cream. But, BerryLine changed all that. It was really good. The texture was more like a richer, thicker soft serve. And the flavor was spot on - not too tart, not too sweet. The fresh toppings are just the cherry on top. (Ha. Get it? It's a pun.)

  • Shannon M.

    My only disappointment was the limited toppings. I've been to other places with greater variety of toppings (including my favorite Captain Crunch), but the options they did have looked delicious and all their fruit options were fresh. I got the original flavor yogurt, and I added oreo, strawberries, and caramel truffles. Next time I would probably take away the truffles and either add a different fruit or more strawberries...they were perfect with the frozen yogurt.

  • Mai O.

    At last, a frozen yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt! I tried blackberry flavor and banana flavor so far, and I love that they have real fruit toppings. And these real fruits taste good, actually, not sour or anything! Usually the problem with fruits toppings are that icecream or frozen yogurt is so sweet and/or fruits are sour, so fruits end up tasting bad. I am glad their fruits go well with their frozen yogurt! And while it tastes like real yogurt, it also tastes like real fruit (blackberry flavor tastes like real blackberry, and banana flavor tastes like real banana). My personal favorite way to eat here is to get a small cup and eat it outside under the apple trees next to the store, sitting on the curb side.

    I tried the new cherry mochi topping they had...... I'm a huge fan of BerryLine, but this mochi was no good. :( Very dry, almost crumbly. Try Yo! Berry for some real mochi. But other than that, I still love the prices, love the product and love the feeling of this place.

    Fro- Yo!!!!!! I have been here for a year, and I did not know we had this in Boston. Summer has come, it's 80 degrees and all I am dreaming about is Pinkberry, so out of desperation, I yelped Frozen Yogurt in Boston to see if I am just being silly and there it is! BerryLine! Great, delicious taste, normally priced, great toppings, even Lychee and Coconut! Yum! Road my bike three miles to get here, and boy was it awesome! They even opened one up near the Fenway right near my school! Oh God, I wanted to go back that night.. Thank you Berry Line, I am addicted. It's a little pricey, and thats why I changed it to 4 stars. Sorry.

    Pros: Delish frozen yogurt, excellent, fesh toppings. Cons: They change their flavors every so often (nice when a good one comes in, sad when a good one goes out). And long as hell lines at night and in the summer. Balance: PROS BOTTOM LINE: Great fro-yo in Harvard Square at a place that feels like a homegrown ice cream shop, screen door and all. (I might even like it better than Red Mango and Pinkberry, shhhhh.)

    The peppermint oreo is by far and away the worst fro yo i've ever tasted. That, and they only had 3 flavors total. And the service sucked.

    I love love love BerryLine! This is the only one I have been to. It is about 3 mins from my house so I have been here more times than I'd like to admit. The regular fro-yo flavor is pitch perfect - not too sweet and not too tart. I have also been impressed with the rotation of awesome 'guest star' flavors - my favorites (so far) are honey graham and watermelon. The list of toppings is extensive and the topping portions are generous. Almost any time you go - there's a line, but it moves quickly and I guarantee it is worth the wait. The only thing I don't absolutely love about this particular BerryLine location is some of the staff. A couple, in particular, have serious attitudes and act as if they can't be bothered . It's fro-yo people, a smile wouldn't kill you. But there was a new guy working there when I stopped in yesterday and he was very pleasant. Bottom line: BerryLine is delicious - high on taste and toppings and low on guilt.

    Since my original review long, long ago, I have only eaten more BerryLine. There is a location at Fenway, a couple short stops from my apartment in Brookline. New flavors (mochi! rose petal!) and dozens of toppings from fresh fruit to Fruity Pebbles, Reese's peanut butter cups to chocolate shavings make this place pretty much the greatest thing since man discovered he could freeze dairy products and eat them. Hell, this pace is better than milk itself. Their yo' is super tangy tasting, light, yogurty, and kicks the ass of Pinkberry. (Which I hear is coming to Harvard Square? Back off my shit, Stinkberry.) In short. I love BerryLine. BerryLine loves me. We're getting married, don't you know.

    Honestly up there with some of the best! Was brought here to be shown that Pink berry has competition in the fro-yo game. Glad I came, although I don't care for several of the flavors other than the original. Next time i'm in the area, I will drop in to try it again.

    fro-yo? fo-sho! At some point during the yelp crawl, I was escorted away from the scheduled stops and made a pit stop at Berryline. (Thanks Amanda H.!) After 4 hours of drinking, its good to get something in your stomach. Now I got to try out the apple cinnamon and the regular yogurt. Trying to be adventurous, I got pineapples and mangos in my yogurt (remember i was drunk). I think my reasoning was, pineapples are delicious (and make me giggle) and i like mango smoothies, so why not? It turned out to be ok, and I got to tell new yelp friends of why i don't eat pineapples all the time (the whole induced laughter thing). It was really good, simple, and whenever you can mix in your mixin's it makes for a happy day. Plus going with yogurt is way better on the waist line than getting some ungodly creatation of coldstone. If I find myself strolling through harvard square and want a cool treat, i'll definitely swing by this place again.

    It's delicious, It's healthy, It's breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. I love me some BerryLine. For many years I would scorn my NYC friends for their Pinkberries and tastyDelights, and now I have a low calorie, frozen yogurt place of my very own. I am only brave enough to try the original flavor but that with kiwi, strawberry, and mango is heaven. The atmosphere is more hippy dippy than the bizarre, "did I land in a Japanamation video?" feel you get at most of these types of places, so that is a little sad. Great portions and great staff!

  • Hisham K.

    This is the best fro yo I've ever had in my life. My friend Kate first introduced it to me last August, and now that the glorious spring is here, I have rekindled my love affair with Berryline. Friendly staff and great service are the toppings to an excellent fro yo experience. This place is usually packed, it's a very small space, but don't be shy about sitting outside on the sidewalk or on the nearby garden. You know how sometimes you go to a store and you get that little card? You know what I'm talking about, that one card where they stamp every time you buy something there, and when you get 10 stamps you get a free meal / ice cream cone / dessert? At most places, you get the card, but THAT sale doesn't count. You get your first stamp the next time you visit. Not with Berryline - you automatically get your first stamp on the spot! I've got four stamps already and it's only been two days! I love this place.

    I've never been the type to go get ice cream or frozen yogurt in the middle of the day. I have no problem slathering my dinner entrees in butter, or smothering my bacon turkey club sandwich in several layers of mayonnaise, but a mid-day frozen yogurt run? Too sinful. I know, I know. I didn't say it made any sense. WELL. Those days are over, friends. I just went to BerryLine on a whim, and while I don't want to be over-dramatic about this, I just inhaled what was probably the single greatest thing I've ever tasted. I got the Nutella yogurt with blackberries and strawberries, and there was a total foodgasm in my mouth. I was pleasantly shocked by how fresh and pretty the berries were--not the still semi-frozen mini berries I'd expected to find. I'm currently calculating what exercise I can do between now and dinner to justify going back tonight.

  • Brittney S.

    I really like their original yogurt, but the flavored yogurts are hit and miss. The strawberry was sort of bland and the lemon basil had huge potential but was overly bitter and not lemon-y enough. The quality of fruit toppings are also hit and miss. It is, however, right on my route between work and home and great for a little something sweet when I need it.

    BerryLine has done the near-impossible--they've made me appreciate, and even like frozen yogurt. Is it possible that for most of my life I've simply been eating (and mostly avoiding) an artificially-enhanced, overly-sweetened version of the concoction that BerryLine has perfected? Subtle would be a good word to describe the frozen yogurt here, which is also smooth, mellow, tangy and has a unique, almost oat-like aftertaste. There are a decent array of toppings on hand (from fresh fruit to Reese's Pieces) and usually two flavors on tap in addition to the classic "plain" option. If you're into counting calories or any of that jazz, BerryLine's plain frozen yogurt is also ridiculously guilt-free, at 25 calories per ounce. The prices here can veer into splurge territory for those of us who are a bit cheap (I pay $3.50 with tax for a medium, which, depending on who's dishing it out can be surprisingly small), but BerryLine makes for a great occasional treat.

    See my other BerryLine review and add: + Orange tart froyo?! It's the original PLUS real oranges added for flavor. Add raspberries for maximum deliciousness. + Beyond pleasant staff that is willing to assist three raucous Yelpers in their pursuit of the perfect combo of froyo flavors and toppings. (They even served with a true smile when a pile of kids came in at 11:00 pm...closing time.) + Dan C. paying! BerryLine is perfection in a cup.

  • Jennifer N.

    My favorite meal: a dinner crepe at Arrow Street Crepes, then Berryline just around the corner for dessert. I love how there are new flavors every time I go there, it's like a surprise! I always get 2 toppings: 1 fruit and one crunchy thing, like granola of toffee or graham cracker. Plus, once you buy 10 you get one free with their little punch card! I have already done that a couple times, it's really that good! Relatively healthy, too

    How can I eat ice cream again, knowing that this paradise exists? I didn't want to have to run to make the next commuter rail back to Beverly, so decided to kill the next hour and a half by staying on the red line and making my way to Berryline. I wish I had the time to actually sit down in the shop (sorta got distracted by the jewelry & book shops along the way), but after tasting the original and coconut, I'm definitely coming back. Super fresh assortment of fruit, and their small was the perfect size. Spent a good while just staring at the menu--I think I already have my next two or three trips all planned out, and can't wait to get back on the next super-sunny day. Oh, and I still ended up running to catch the commuter rail--made it on as it was pulling away. But it was worth it!

    I never crave sweets. If it were socially acceptable, I would order a lamb chop at the end of my meal. I find most desserts and ice creams achingly sugary, and rarely sample more than a couple spoons. BerryLine ended my apathy for desserts. Enough cannot be said of the incredible original yogurt. So so tangy and delicious. This isn't yogurt trying to be lowfat ice cream, it's a proud yogurt whose character shines through. The fruit yogurts are okay, but they've got nothing on the tart original. I ate an entire cup, unprecedented for me, and this after a belly-busting kebab dinner. The many toppings are charmingly classified as either "crunchy" or "fruity." The guys who work there are dolls and will let you try anything you want. The original is delicious with blueberries and granola, but adornment is not necessary. I would eat a bucket of this ambrosia plain.

    How do you screw up Oreo yogurt? This place is beyond awful! I asked for a large Oreo and then before I could ask for a cone, the guy started to fill it up. I asked for a cone and the guy just stuck a cone on the top of the yogurt. The yogurt tasted like some kinda plant with dirt on top. If you are a frozen yogurt lover avoid this place. Head down the street to Pinkberry for a real treat.

    I was looking for Arrow St Crepes, which must have closed eons ago after I graduated, but I was nonetheless thrilled with its replacement. The portions were pretty generous, and the layout was adorable and clever despite the limited space. Most customers opt to stand outside to eat when they come in groups, so I suggest that BerryLine get a big garbage can because we ended up having to dump our cups into a nearby apartment's dumpster...

  • Corey P.

    It STILL has calories! I know...I know... I know! I have never left this little Harvard square haunt without a smile on my face. I particularly enjoy when they have banana on tap, but the original, mango, blueberry and passion fruit aren't bad options either. The toppings are always the most difficult part of this journey. Fresh fruit (Strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, etc) chocolate, coconut and yogurt chips--the creamy chocolate chip. I could go on for days. I suggest having a plan when you arrive, or you will find yourself quickly panicking when the pretty efficient staff asks you what you would like and you have only finished glancing at the flavors. Staff also has no problem letting you sample the flavors, even when there is a line out the door. Also, make sure you grab a frequent buyer's card. You will be back. Trust me.

  • Tiffany Z.

    Great frozen yogurt & I can walk there. I love the original with blueberries & kiwi. The frozen yogurt is tasty, the fruit is fresh, the staff is friendly, the place is clean, and I've never had a wait longer than 10 minutes when I've gone (and most of the time, much less wait time than that). Someone who knows frozen yogurt better than I do might be more judgmental, but I've been a very happy customer.

  • Dasha B.

    $3.75 for a small with one topping is not cheap, but the creaminess and flavor of this froyo make it worth it. Had the honey graham flavor with grated Taza chocolate. I couldn't really taste a strong graham flavor, but it was yum regardless (I was secretly hoping they would have Taza flavor). Loved the quantity and texture of the grated Taza chocolate, but I think white granulated sugar was mixed in. Not so much a fan of that. The other toppings looked delicious as well.

  • nicole z.

    Delish! I discovered BerryLine from yelp and thoroughly enjoy the fro yo here, the original flavor is always refreshing and the rotating flavors are usually good too! The employees are *generally friendly *and happy to offer a tasting. The fresh fruit is an added plus for a topping, though last time I went it was not too fresh tasting, maybe coming earlier in the day for fruit topping is a better idea....I highly recommend it if you want to try something new! Also, something that I find nice that they do is if you want the portion of one topping but two different toppings they will do that if you ask. *last time we went, my husband said something to the woman working like, 'I wish you had a kiddie size' or something to that effect and she kind of made a sly comment which was, "I can give you a kiddie portion and charge you for a small" we didn't get the feeling she was genuinely assisting us, but rather making a nasty comment* However, we really enjoy BerryLine and will continue to go, maybe just have less interaction with that employee.

    I am a huge fan of frozen treats, not to mention there used to be 5 asian-inspired froyo places within a 2 block radius of where I lived, so I have tried a lot of froyo in my day. I haven't tried the plain flavor here, but their lychee and guava flavors are excellent and the pricing is great, solid portions for the price. Their toppings are much pricier than I expected though. Will be back to try more flavors!

    Loved it. I am happy that we have our own little tart yogurt chain in Boston. I've also just been to the new new location in Fenway. I know that the flavors rotate but I think I would like something more raspberryish. I'm not sure the passion fruit had much flavor and the orange had maybe a bit too much flavor. it kinda tastes like orange juice. Like the toppings. Had a nice little friend date here.

    I will go the the gym everyday of my life I will not swear I will help every living creature I see (even spiders) I will recycle..... if I can have BerryLine in my life everyday. And I've been only once. If you've never had it I suggest jumping on this band wagon asap....it's delicious. The fro yo has that wonderful sour taste of yogurt with practically anything you want mixed in. I tried mangoes and graham crackers. Yum!!

  • Jake B.

    BerryLine is amazing. I've never had frozen yogurt that tastes like this If you're expecting something that tastes almost exactly like normal ice cream, you'll be disappointed, but if you come in with an open mind, you'll love it. It's a bit less sweet than other ice cream; it reminds me a little of cheesecake or something along those lines. It turns out that, for me, that taste is perfect in almost every situation. Somehow, BerryLine frozen yogurt has no fat. That means I can go there whenever I want and not feel guilty. The frozen yogurt has 25 calories per cup, and there are five cups in a small (not sure medium/large). 125 calories and 0 fat is pretty great for something that I like more than almost any ice cream I've had. It is a tad pricey (I think $3.25 for a small with one topping), but it's not outrageous, and I'm willing to pay a little more if it makes the ice cream healthier and the atmosphere more pleasant (more on that later). I always get the original with mochi topping. I got peanut butter once, which was okay, but not as good as original. When they have flavored mochi, I usually get that instead of regular mochi. I've had strawberry mochi (the best), peach mochi (okay), pineapple mochi (really good), and french vanilla mochi (pretty good). As a bonus, the place is really fun to go to, and the atmosphere is really nice. It feels very "small business-y". The outside walls have paintings of ice cream and toppings with faces, the inside has employee-made art for sale on the walls, and the employees interact with customers like real people. Much more enjoyable than Dairy Queen or something of the sort.

  • Josh M.

    Delicious. The yogurt is tangy (like real yogurt!), and just sweet enough to make for a nice dessert. Their original flavor yogurt is very good, but they rotate two other special flavors that are often even better. Passion fruit and lychee are the best ones that I've tried, but they mix it up enough so that there's always something new. They have a nice assortment of toppings - my favorite are the fresh fruits (mmm, mango and kiwi), but there's plenty of other stuff too. My only complaints are that it's always packed, and it's not too cheap. But then again, it's crowded because everyone knows it's awesome, and you do get what you pay for. So, no complaints, I guess!

  • Corry B.

    I have this idea that somehow if I eat frozen yogurt that a. it will not bother my lactose intolerant innards b. it is somehow healthy c. my belly roll will not increase with each cup I consume. If these things are true, then I am a happy happy girl at BerryLine. I wasn't into froyo at all until I went to visit California and it was the Drug of Choice. And I got hooked because I will eat fruit in anyway that it decides to come. When it comes all pre-peeled and chopped (mangoessssss) all over my tangy raspberry froyo with maybe some blueberries and blackberries and raspberries and strawberries andandand okay, i'm not gonna lie. I'd be just as happy with a bowl o' fruit save the yogurt- but the yogurt adds a nice cold reason to have someone else chop up the fruit. And for all the lactose pain ice cream causes me- summer desserts can be participatory again for me at this very cute, not too many places to sit, but who cares cuz they get you through fast, are patient with the non-decision making friends i went with, and offer free samples til the cows come home, easy to get to place.

  • Julie R.

    Very refreshing treat on a hot day. I got the 3 topping special for $4.50. I chose mango, pineapple, and raspberry. I was tempted to add some chips or graham cracker crumbles but decided all fruit was the way to go. The place was so busy when I arrived. The staff behind the counter worked as a team but seemed a little annoyed it was busy. One would yell, "Can I help the next person who knows what they want", then if you were lucky to bypass the families with kids who can't decide their toppings, you went up and gave your order, which was then told the the person next to the listener and made then handed back and you paid with the person on the other side. A little confusing. The guy in front of me had a coupon and the register girl quickly snapped she can't take it, then a guy came out of the back and said they do take it. Maybe the staff needs some more training. I wish the place was bigger with more seating but Harvard Square has lots of places to sit down and eat. The original yogurt was delicious, not too sweet. All the toppings were fresh. I noticed the sign on the door saying, if you don't want to wait in line, please visit out other location in Porter Square. I'll have to go check that one out next.

    This place does not need any additional reviews but I had to say it -- by far the best frozen yogurt I have ever had. You can top it with a bunch of fruit (berries, kiwi, mango, etc.) and other stuff like chocolate chips. It is very tasty yet packs little calories (5 ounces is ~ 130 calories). Definitely the tastiest and most guiltless desert one can have -- it may even be good for you...

    Maybe I need some fro-yo And sure, I know it's not cheap. But I've got a sick obsession, I'm seeing it in my dreams. I'm thinking of fresh fruit toppings, I'm getting myself a small. I'm here at work all day hoping Coconut's posted on the walls. What you want, girl, is BerryLine Think about it all the time, It's so hot out my brain is fried I just can't get it off my mind... Be caaaause Fro-yo, fro-yo, fro-yo is my drug. Fro-yo, fro-yo, fro-yo. Fro-yo, fro-yo, fro-yo is my drug. Fro-yo, fro-yo, fro-yo.

    I went to Berryline for the first time last night. I had heard of the Yo! Berry craze, and had no idea what it was about. I ordered an "original" since I'm not much of a fruit fan and got oreos and peanut butter chips in it. When I took the first bite, I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted just like yogurt that was frozen! Wait, that sounds stupid. But it didn't taste like ice cream at all, like most frozen yogurt does. Since it tasted like real yogurt, I kind of kicked myself for not mixing fruit in. I usually don't go for fruity desserts, but I actually really could have used some strawberries since mine ended up tasting like a Yo Crunch (which isn't bad, but not really refresing either). Either way, I really liked this healthy alternative!

  • Nate Y.

    I came here for the free fro-yogurt for Yelpers offered by Matt W., one of the owners. He tells me the various combination of flavored yogurts you can have, similar to soft-serve. I choose a half-and-half of black cherry and pomegranate. I mix in coconut and chocolate chips. I end up with a great tasting treat that's better for you. They offer fresh fruit and other add-ins and give copious amounts of it. I was fortunate enough to get it for free thanks to Matt, but I definitely plan to come back with money in hand. It's worth the trip.

  • Mary B.

    Frozen yogurt is the holy grail to me. I'm constantly on a quest to find fro yo that's healthy and tastes good. I was really excited to hear about Berryline and I would definitely recommend it for fellow yogurt enthusiasts. I had the original with strawberries and it was very nice. I could tell it originated from real yogurt, it had a hint of tang. My only wish was what they had their nutrition information available in the store or online. Edit 5/2008 - Yay! I went in a week or so ago and they had a huge poster with the nutritional information up. I had the ginger with pineapple this time - excellent and a good $ deal. My only qualm is that I keep managing to miss the mojito flavor! My own fault and should be remedied by more BL trips.

  • Rachel H.

    Who can argue with lines 5 or 10 yards out the door on any nice day? The treat matches Pinkberry for deliciousness but the independent, local feel is hard to beat. The staff seems to be having a good enough time, even when they're busy so they're a pleasure, too. If you're touring the square and seeking a treat for your stroll, it's worth the wait.

    I LOVE Berryline. Their velvety smooth frozen yogurt is so tart and tasty. I had my first experience with tart fro-yo at Berryline, and I immediately fell in love! I love getting it with fruit toppings. Makes you feel like you're eating healthy ice cream. (Not that there's anything wrong with ice cream, which I also love. ;-) ) And the service is great - always friendly. Mmmm..... But, uh oh, Pinkberry just opened. I have to try them because Berryline is the best fro-yo I've tried in Boston, so I'll have to see how they compare. Even if Pinkberry is better, I'll still love Berryline. :)

  • Cheryl D.

    Berry Line has the best plain yogurt. Friends and family on the West Coast and in Hawaii have taken me to various Yogurtlands, and while they have super cute spoons and a variety of flavors, the yogurt isn't as good as Berry Line's. Yogurtland might have a dozen flavors to Berry Line's three, but it seems like there's a trade-off for variety versus perfection of the plain frozen yogurt flavor. My only issues are 1) the number of people buying and eating easily outpaces the available space in the shop, and 2) while the plain yogurt base flavor is a perfect match with various fruity flavors, it just doesn't mesh well with decadent flavors like chocolate. Bottom line: original flavor with fruit!

    (4)

  • Ryan K.

    Very, very cool. The froyo isn't super-sweet like "frozen desserts". It's actually frozen yogurt! It's got a tart taste, but it has great toppings ranging from fruit to cookie crumbs. Great place for dessert in Harvard Square. Just a heads up -- it's a small place, so don't expect to be able to sit down. It's kind of in a small out-of-the-way street anyway.

  • Courtney B.

    Berryline is my favorite desert place in the greater Boston area. The tangy yogurt tastes great with tropical fruit toppings. They are also one of the only places I know that offers a papaya topping almost all year round. In general, I am not a fan of very sweet deserts, however when I am in the mood for a sweet treat, Berryline still satiates me with all their typical desert toppings, like chocolate chips and oreos, etc. You can also get flavored yogurt. The apple cinnamon is delicious but its seasonal. I've heard there other flavors are tasty too, and the staff will let you sample everything before you make a decision. Thus, this small shop on Arrow St. is completely worth checking out. Don't be deterred if there is a long line. The staff makes the line move quickly.

    Move over, Pinkberry. Actually, just get the hell out of the way. So I'm running late (per usual) to my facial at Sasha Salon and Spa and lo and behold, I notice groups of people gathered around this teeny place with cute doodles on it. I'm walking fast but I'm craning my neck around to figure out what all of the hoopla is about. Then I notice the name: BerryLine, the place I've bookmarked for months but never got around to finding. I have found you, my sweet sweet lovah. My facial was painful, I looked like a hot blotchy mess, but as I was passing the frozen yogurt haven again, running late to meet with friends back in Boston, I thought to myself : frozen yogurt waits for no one. Certainly not for me. Cranberry flavored yogurt with mangoes: a small (a VERY DECENT SMALL, MIND YOU) cost me less than $3.50. The same thing would have cost me $6 at Pinkberry. The people were friendly, the yogurt delicious and cheapo, and I am convinced that my face looked better the next day because of the frozen orgasm I fed my body the night before. Have I said too much? I think not.

  • K. E.

    Although quite partial to Pinkberry's abundant topping options, I found BerryLine to be quite comparable and not nearly as crowded on a Saturday night after dinner in Harvard Square. The yogurt is just the right amount of tart, the toppings were plentiful (which they should be if you're going to charge me for each one), and I had an overall good experience. Off the beaten path, but worth the extra block's walk. Yum!!

  • Erica S.

    Wait, frozen yogurt that tastes like... yogurt?... that's frozen? Absurd! Yogurty frozen yogurt people. Delicious. Not to mention, it's fat free, and 25 calories per serving. What?! That frees up a whole ton of calories for you to pile on as toppings! The original flavor is always good, or try one of the two rotating flavors-- peanut butter! Banana! Coconut! Etc! Then throw on any of the toppings of your choice-- fresh fruit (blueberries, mango, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, coconut, so much more), nuts (chopped pecans, walnuts, you name it), or some decadence (oreos, white chocolate chips, aghhhhhhh!!!). Now that's what I call a party!

    Being awesome, and Indian, I grew up with homemade yogurt with every meal. Vegetable dish, lentil dish, fresh chapatis, rice and dhai. Glorious dhai that I missed so very much when I was away from home. My mom would make a fresh pot every week, using culture from the week before. This chain of dhai has not been broken since 1978. I am not kidding. So of course, when I got my own place, I got my own yogurt maker and have that tart, sweet, creamy, milky goodness in the mornings. Some granola, fruit and I am so so happy. Nothing I have ever had even comes close to this. Mass produced, store sold yogurt, sugary frozen yogurt, nothing (I agree with Kabir's take on Indian train food/yogurt, though. My sister and I would crave Shatabdhi tomato soup the minute we touched down in Delhi). Nothing has come close, until now. BerryLine uses Greek yogurt, which has the same tart, smooth taste that I love. It is not ruined by massive amounts of sugar or artificial flavor. I got the peach with strawberries and granola. I loved it. I'll be back with my mom - just to let her know that I will be ok if she ever stops making her own batches. (Friendly staff, clean eating area, good location, ok prices.)

    Better than Bo Yo, no doubt. Fresh fruits and great atmosphere. The frozen yogurt taste is awesome! I saw one of the staff cutting mangos on the spot indicating how fresh their fruits really are! love love love Berry Line.

  • Natalie B.

    Oh please! Just stay home and eat organic yogurt and throw a coupla' berries on top. the only flavors were pumpkin pie, apple pie, and something called "original" I need my chocolate and my sweet not just sour!!!

  • Molly N.

    The froyo was good enough--I had apple cinnamon, and it was light and tangy. Kinda boring, but, it's that style. The toppings are where I have an issue. They're crazy expensive, and the mochi is really, really bad. Stale, tasteless, dry, gross. Why did I pay almost $5 for okay froyo with icky mochi and some plain toffee crumbles?? I'm from the Silicon Valley in California, where we have frozen yogurts stores every block these days. Where's Boston's equivalent of Yogurtland? I pine for Yogurtland when I'm out here :(

    OH dearest BerryLine how I scorn thee. And by scorn I mean idolize. The yogurt is legit. The toppings are equally legit (real fresh fruit). The flavors are fantastic and well...legit. The counter folks are pretty cool to boot...and there are like 80 of them crammed in that tiny space...quick service. I visited twice today....enough said. This place is wonderful.

    I have been putting this off for way too long. I do this all of the time. I know I want to go somewhere, try something, do something- but I don't do it for 9-12 months. It's like I get the inkling and carry it to term- and then eventually, finally go. Good. stuff. nice staff. I always said Harvard square needed smoothie's and frozen treats (4 years ago). I like that it tastes like actual yogurt and I loved it with granola and strawberries. Oreo or toffee isn't so shabby either (separately of course). The staff was helpful and it's cute as the dickens. What does that mean? I don't know. I don't care that it's 25 calories an ounce or whatever. You shouldn't eat dessert if calories are something you care about. Walk there. Eat it. Walk home. Yay!

    Yay! Fun times, great yogurt, really friendly staff. You get more than Herrell's for a lower price. Just try to go earlier in the day - it's incredibly packed at night and the line is crazy (and the place is downstairs). Don't forget to get one of the cards - I filled up *four* of them this summer. Yes, that is a lot of BerryLine. What can I say, it's delicious.

    Saw that the California tart froyo craze was hitting Boston so had to check out this place in Harvard Sq to see how it compares. BerryLine is a worthy contender. They have 3 flavors: original tart, guava, and cinnamon apple(?!). Orignal was pretty good with a nice smooth texture. It was just slightly tart - I do like mine a bit more tart but this was fine. Cinnamon apple is the most original flavor I have seen across all the froyo shops I've been to. It was like eating tart froyo and apple pie at the same time - sounds very strange but strangely tasty! A small got you a decent portion of yogurt and they are generous with their toppings (mine was kiwi). They don't have as extensive toppings as the places in San Francisco Bay Area. The place itself is a cute little basement hole in the wall next to a crepe shop and not easily visible on sleepy Arrow St unless you were looking for it. However, it was fairly busy with quite a few froyo fans going in and out. Bottom line: Froyo: 4.5 stars + Originality for cinnamon apple flavor (0.5 stars) = 5 stars

  • Jennifer K.

    This place kinda kicks a$$. 25 calories per oz, with a choice of 5, 8 or 12 oz sizes. Simple choices for flavor. Yummy choices for toppings. Priced comparable to many other ice cream type shops. Very nice employees. We went on a cold rainy day, so there was no line, which made the process very easy. I wasn't prepared for the more sour-ish flavor, but I have to say I liked it. Esp with the strawberries and chocolate chips on top, which gave it just enough sweetness. And after devouring a medium, I still felt like I hadn't had a huge cup of ice cream. A nice feeling, and not one you get from other brands. I'll be back in the summer.

    Next to parking tickets from the City of Cambridge, there is nothing else that appears with more regularity on my credit card statement than Berryline. To think of it, those parking tickets often came as a direct result of parallel parking in front of food establishments. Not that I've gotten a ticket in front of Berryline....yet (knock on wood). Let's see...if 1 small order is 5 oz. and I avg. 18 visits per month (give or take, sometimes more), that's...holy crap! Equivalent to 68 pints of Ben & Jerry's ice cream! Thank God it's fat free and low in calories. Try the mochi with mango and strawberries on original. It's more than enough flavor and creaminess to satisfy those pesky premium ice cream cravings.

    FACTS & FIGURES: FROZEN YOGURT ADDICTION OVERVIEW Frozen yogurt is a frozen dessert made from or containing yogurt or dairy analogues, and is considered a low-fat and low-calorie alternative to ice cream. Frozen yogurt dependence (or addiction) is the physical and psychological dependence on the regular consumption of frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt is powerfully addictive and versatile, coming in many flavors and potentially accompanied by multiple delicious toppings. EXTENT OF USE According to the 2007 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) approximately 150.8 Americans aged 3 or older reported trying frozen yogurt at least once in their lifetimes, representing more than 50% of the population aged 3 or older. Additional 2008 NSDUH data indicate that approximately 7.5 million (3.1%) reported past year frozen yogurt consumption and 904,000 (0.4%) reported past month frozen yogurt consumption. The 2007 NSDUH results also indicate that there were 305,200 persons aged 3 or older who had consumed frozen yogurt for the first time within the past 12 months. PRESENTATION AND HEALTH EFFECTS Frozen yogurt is a strong central nervous system and digestive system narcotic. Physical effects of frozen yogurt consumption include decreased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. Users may also experience sudden onset headaches from the cold, and euphoria. The immediate craving of the addict for more soon after consumption is due to the short-lived high that usually subsides within an hour, leading to prolonged, multi-dose binge use. When administration stops after binge use, it is followed by a "disappointment" (also known as a "sigh"), the onset of a severely dysphoric craving with esclating desire until sweet foods are again consumed. Frozen yogurt has positive reinforcement effects, meaning that good feelings become associated with the dessert. This causes a frequent user to turn to frozen yogurt in the face of bad news or mild depression. This activation strengthens the response that was just made. It has been shown in studies that rhesus monkeys, provided with a bowl of frozen yogurt and bananas, prefer the dessert over food that is in their cage. TREATMENT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with Motivational Therapy (MT) has proven to be effective in treating frozen yogurt addictions. However, this is dependent upon the addict's willingness and desire to cease their addictive behaviors. Even among the most determined, relapse rates among frozen yogurt consumers is 70-80%. Many users find that it is easier to live and feed their addiction, but with less frequency or in smaller quantities.

    I absolutely love Berryline! Their frozen yogurt is so delicious and smooth. It's true to the taste of yogurt too with a tangy zip to it. I don't feel guilty when I eat their frozen yogurt, the toppings are all so fresh, and they give you tons of toppings on your yogurt. The service was super friendly and we even got free cookies today that the owner had baked. What a great treat! :)

    A secret recipe? If you've ever made anything in a kitchen you know that the recipe is equally important if not more than the ingredients themselves. With this in mind, there are only two reasons to have a secret recipe: 1. You want the marketing benefits of having a 'secret recipe' 2. You don't want your customers to know precisely what's in your product Berryline doesn't make a point of telling you that its recipe is secret, so it must be that they don't want us to know what is in their frozen "yogurt". Following the unfolding of Pinkberry ( nytimes.com/2008/04/12/u… ), I find myself particularly suspicious of an identical business making similar health claims with a similarly secret recipe. But more on that later. The shop is clean with plenty of natural light. The interior often fills up and feels a bit crowded with people coming to get their fix. The service itself was awesome. Halfway through asking what the original flavor tasted like I had a sample in my hand. Nothing but smiles here from start to finish and they are eager to give you suggestions of their favorite combinations. The product alone is really quite good, the familiar tanginess of yogurt without being too sweet. It is a welcome change from the existing frozen confections in this city. In America's mecca of ice cream, Berryline is a welcome addition. But is it really made from yogurt? Who knows. Does it offer any or even a fraction of the health benefits of real yogurt? Who knows. It's certainly tasty and offers itself as a very enjoyable and healthy alternative to ice cream. But take note that the extra large printed nutritional information measures a SINGLE ounce of the mystery delight; and in small lettering tells you to multiply by 5, 16, or 32 depending on the size you ordered. Hey, it's still better for you than ice cream but I couldn't help but feel it was slightly misleading. In closing, in a world where the number of people with serious allergies is ever-increasing not being able to name precisely what is in your product is stupid and downright insulting to your customers. It really, really bugs me actually. To make matters worse, ONLY the owner (who isn't in the store all the time) can say for sure what is or isn't in it. So people with food allergies better call ahead on this place, but it IS worth the extra effort.

    I love yelp newsletters because they contain such delightful gems as BerryLine! It took me a little while to figure out where this place was because I am always lost when I'm in Harvard Square, but it is delicious and wonderful. My favorite? Original with raspberries and chocolate chips. I proclaim it "hyperyum"!

  • Amanda L.

    Holy beejesus! That about sums up my experience at BerryLine. I was sick and tired of seemingly being the only one in all of Boston and Cambridge that hadn't tried the delicious goodness that is BerryLine. So, I pleaded with Jess to take me to the wonders of BerryLine (Ok, it was more like, "Hey you wanna go to BerryLine? Sure. But you get the picture). So we hopped on the 69 and made our merry little way to BerryLine. The flavors of the day were Original, Blueberry, and Banana. I went with the Original/Blueberry swirl (classy I know), along with some fresh (and GIGANTIC) blackberries and chocolate chips. All for a mere $4.20ish. So needless to say, BEST frozen yogurt I've ever had. Puts every other frozen yogurt to shame, I mean, it's not even comparable. It tastes so fresh and you wouldn't even believe it's only 25 calories an ounce. Jackpot. And with the mountains of fresh berries that are offered, there's no feeling of guilt, ever (even while comparing dinner rolls, but that's another story). The employees are extremely nice, and Jess informed me that the owner was a fellow Yelper!! So if you're reading this, I may have fallen in love! Shhhh, don't tell Joe. Actually, the day after, I dragged Joe to BerryLine and tried the banana. Holy crap. I may have to move in next door. It's like crack, but it's actually good for you. Just another reason why I need to move to Cambridge....

  • Morgan F.

    Banana Frozen Yogart? Pilled with mounds of fresh strawberries, mango and kiwii? Oy! Writing this review makes me wish I had another Berry Line sitting next to me! Generally I don't like to compare places to big chains, but I think the Pinkberry reference just has to be made here. So why do I think Berry Line is better? 1. Its local, Matt the owner is uber nice and a fellow Yelper 2. The flavors change!! At all times they have original plus two rotating flavors!! I stopped in for Banana and Blueberry and KNOW I have to go back within the week before Banana is gone! But then every time I visit its a new flavor adventure :) 3. FRESH FRUIT, like really fresh and sweet! Visiting LA all the time I have had my share of this stuff, and this is the freshest fruit I have come across! Plus, that cute mural on the outside wall gets me every time! The fun little Pineapple and Kiwi hanging out together as all the chocolate chips dance around them, I LOVE it! In the words of the Terminator, as in terminate as much Berry Line into my stomach as possible, I WILL BE BACK!

  • Dan C.

    Oh BerryLine, how I love thee. Tiny, tiny store. Super delicious fro-yo. And if you eat nothing but BerryLine for a week - you may even lose weight: berryline.wordpress.com I love the seasonal flavors (Apple + Pumpkin Pie recently), the fresh fruit toppings (grapes - surprisingly good), and the incredibly friendly staff. Just wish there were more places to sit inside during the colder months.

    (5)

  • Katie L.

    Healthy fro-yo is enough to draw me in to any eatery, but BerryLine makes it even better with a huge variety of fresh fruit (always varying) to dump on top. I lovelovelove that the yogurt is not super sweet - this is not the faux ice-cream style yogurt. It is way better. The only downside is that they don't have many places to sit inside. In the warmer weather you can wander around outside with your delish, healthy treat, but the lack of seating has kept me away during the cold winter.

    (5)

  • Tim S.

    East-coast Pinkberry. That's right; I said it. It's the tangy yogurt flavor you've come to love and expect combined with fresh fruity goodness. Or chocolate. They won't judge. Don't expect much room to sit and enjoy your coffee or froyo, but I bodily drag people here anytime I'm in the extended Harvard Square/Cambridge area and they (my friends) usually seem much less dubious on the way out than they were on the way in.

  • Libby H.

    I don't need to write another 4-5 star review, you can read the other ones to learn how awesome BerryLine is. I just want to beg you to PLEASE support this LOCAL BUSINESS! Pinkberry may be comparable and a lot trendier, but it's a national franchise. BerryLine is locally owned and uses local ingredients. That makes it so much more awesome. Don't let the new Pinkberry take over the business around here! BerryLine rules!!!!!!!!! :D

  • Colin W.

    I need to review things I don't like, every review I write is of things that make me happy. Berryline makes me very, very happy. This isn't frozen yogurt pretending to be ice cream, folks. This is frozen yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt. It has the consistency of soft serve without that heavy feeling afterward. I get a small with whole raspberries and cut strawberry, delicious. Larges are a good size for sharing. MMMMMMMMMMMBerryline.

    (5)

  • Leighann F.

    Love you for having raspberry, the greatest fro-yo flavor of ALL TIME. Not super psyched about the absence of chocolate sprinkles and cones. Will I still come here whilst passing by? Of course! But I'll head to the location closer to Porter Square for the aforementioned treats and accompaniments. Yep, they are still getting my few bucks over other fro-yo-places in the area!

    (4)

  • Barney B.

    OK, this place made me realize that there is a difference between 'frozen yogurt' and 'froyo' - and this place is definitely the former. This is not the stuff that you get when you have a hankering for ice cream, but want to behave. This is the place you go when you have a hankering for Yoplait, but want it really cold. It's a dieter's delight - and diet + ice cream substitute just don't mix. I mean seriously - try it without the oreo topping and it's a cup of Dannon stuck in the freezer. It doesn't taste like dessert - it tastes like yogurt - really cold yogurt. so if you are gunning for a smoothie - and you realize that smoothie shops strangely don't really exist here - head to this place. but dammit, if you want dessert - go somewhere that actually serves it. Come on, you deserve it!

  • Daniel M.

    I don't know nothin' 'bout no pink berries, red mangoes, or berries from da hood. I do know that this was the best pre-dinner fro-yo I have ever had. Ok so it was the first pre-dinner fro-yo but still. The. Best. I like that the yogurt is more than a delivery vehicle for sugar, it's a platform for fruit to assault your senses. So simple yet so effing good. One bite and suddenly: *cue choir* I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of? I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for... This left me walking around Harvard square for somewhere to sit and fully experience the treat. I think I love you isn't that what life is made of? Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way... It would be cruel to compare BerryLine to any other yogurt I've had. There really is no comparison.

    (5)

  • Melissa N.

    BerryLine yogurt is as addictive as crack. And, as a former crack addict myself, I do not take this analogy lightly. In fact I refer to it as crack yogurt and routinely find myself saying things like, "I could stop after just one if I really wanted to" or "I never eat crack yogurt when I'm alone" or, after a brief no sugar stint, "See, I didn't have any for two weeks--clearly I don't have a problem." The worst part is, I've become a crack yogurt pusher. I am responsible for spreading the addiction to my roommate, my ex-boyfriend, and most recently, my workout buddy, Layla P. OK, I was never really a crack addict; but seriously, don't try it unless you are ready to start making BerryLine runs in the middle of winter. Because you will.

  • Elizabeth H.

    This is, hands down, my favorite place in Cambridge. It's perfect all year round (except when it closed for, like, 3 days in the winter aka the 3 worst days of my life), any time of day (thankfully I work nowhere near there or it would be breakfast, lunch, & dinner) In my opinion... best flavor: original or blueberry best topping: yogurt chips or mango SO tasty :)

    (5)

  • Bret C.

    3 stars+ for the concept - it's unique and incredibly popular. 3 stars for the taste because I'm more of an ice cream guy. But give this place a shot - just watch out for the lines. The place is MADNESS on a nice day! Be prepared for a moderate wait. They are willing to let you sample any of the flavors which is a nice touch. Pick the fro-yo flavor you want and then throw on a collection of fruit and/or candy/cracker toppings.

    (3)

  • Maria V.

    I am a BIG fan. They have a small selection of flavors, but they're all good ones -- when I went they had passionfruit and kiwi, for example. The prices are eminently reasonable, and oh yea, the froyo ain't half-bad neither! Most of the time I actually prefer frozen yogurt to ice cream -- I know, BLASPHEMY -- and this is very good frozen yogurt. I got a medium portion and it was very generously sized -- I walked with it from Harvard all the way to MIT down Mass ave and it lasted me the whole way.

    (4)

  • Rob Y.

    Food = Great place for refreshing frozen yogurt. You have 3 flavors (regular, raspberry, and passion fruit). All flavors are deliciously light and all the toppings available go well with the yogurt. If you go for the first time and unsure which flavor to choose, they will be more than happy to give you samples. This little shop also provides nutrition facts for their relatively healthy treats. Service = Service was great and cheerful. Ambiance = This is a nice little shop to chill out after a hot day. The colors of the interior also bring a relaxing and refreshing feel. Overall Opinion = Awesome place for a cheap refreshing cold treat!

  • Christina K.

    Can't believe I couldn't find it so I never went till about two weeks ago. It's not in the main Harvard square, so it's kind of tucked away. Original tart is really good, though it is much sweeter than Pinkberry or Yogurtland. Very affordable. Wish they had more flavors, but hey, it ain't Yogurtland either! Yum. And at 25 calories an ounce (small is 5 ounces) it's even less calories than a yoplait lowfat yogurt.

    (5)

  • Jon H.

    Okay so now that I have found that they have mochi, this place is now up to five-star level because its got the best of everything. Only negative, my friend asked to try a piece of the yellow-kiwi and they said no...whats the harm in doing that?

    (5)

  • Dave L.

    Great tasting frozen yogurt. Lots of topping options. This is a great concept that is executed well here. The flavors rotate (aside from Vanilla and I think Chocolate) so it always feels like you can try something new. The location is fairly convenient (not RIGHT outside Harvard stop but pretty close) and the line usually isn't too long. They also accept credit cards which is a nice plus. I've seen the same type of place in a couple cities, so I'm not sure "who copied who" but that doesn't bother me much anyway. I just know I enjoy coming here often!

  • Meredith K.

    Oh man. I am officially an ADDICT!! I went back again today. I just went on Saturday. I can tell this is going to be a problem. First: the owner Matt pm'd me after my first review - love that he's so involved in his company and with his customers. Stuff like that matters and makes a difference. Second: I figured out the medium 8oz has 200 calories and 8 grams of protein and no fat - is this possible?? Is this true?? Did I read the menu wrong???? If it's correct perhaps I can replace 2 meals a day with this place... yum. ha ha ha Third: the fruit is seriously fresh! Tonight I got the original with blueberries and it tasted like I had just picked them. SO tasty! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Keep up the great work!!!

  • Sherrie G.

    Y'know when you'll opt to take the longer route to work and be like 20 minutes late to get some of this fro yo goodness, you've got yourself a money maker. I can see this place expanding all over Boston but I'm very pleased with it's proximity to Harvard Square. I also really enjoy it's adorable mural on the side. Plus, free wifi. OMG free wifi. I could LIVE here. This place is strategically located behind the equally delicious crepe place. A good day consists of a spinach and tomato crepe followed by a strawberry, blueberry and chocolate chip fro yo. It's pretty low-cal from what I've gathered so I've been able to work it into my diet nicely. I've also increased my fruit intake. lol It's open pretty late too. I think 11 on weekdays and 12 on weekends. (don't quote me on that) So what are you doing? GO NOW!!!

  • Colin N.

    Berryline (verb) - To intravenously inject frozen yogurt + your choice of toppings achieving a state of euphoric bliss and an unbreakable addiction. ex. Earlier today, I berrylined original yogurt, strawberries and white chocolate pieces. Since then, I've had to rob two old ladies to get the money for another fix. - Pinkberry is the original, and not in Boston. Berryline is a damn good substitute. If you haven't jumped on the latest asian inspired dessert craze, you have not yet lived.

    (5)

  • Layla P.

    Fabulous place - same idea as pinkberry from what I gather. The frozen yogurt isn't your typical taste like nothing frozen lump or a desperate attempt to taste like ice cream - it really seriously tastes like frozen...yogurt...like the yogurt you buy in the dairy section. It's great! They have an original flavor which tastes like plain yogurt and then I believe they rotate other flavors and usually have 2 others at one time (eg banana and strawberry today). And like others have said, the fruit selection is amazing (eg today I had mango and kiwi) and fresh - you can watch them cut it in the back. Don't forget to get a punch card so you can get a free medium serving after you buy 10! I do wish they had more seating though:(

  • Francesca R.

    What makes Berryline kick all other frozen treat establishment's asses? Their merry-go-round of unique flavors. Some are stellar (lychee & mango were the best...ever) and some don't always hit the mark (grapefruit and apple were interesting but too tart). They also have creative and delicious toppings - I'm a mango whore myself but recently branched out and had apple with graham crackers which was lovely. The staff are really friendly and will always give you a wee sample with a smile. I also like the space, which has a cutesy-cheerful ambiance and comfy, albeit limited, seating. They have a customer rewards card - buy ten get one free. I'm so happy I can easily walk here during my lunch breaks - it's going to be a delicious summer.

  • Kelly A.

    Boston's version of Pink Berry - awesome! Try the original yogurt with some delicious toppings like raspberries, chocolate chips, and coconut. I'm so psyched to have found this place, as my recent NYC Pink Berry experience was so it good it made me contemplate a move to the big apple.

    Whatever you do.. don't accept the frequent buyer card. IT ENABLES! STEP AWAY FROM THE COUNTERRRRR.

    A sweet small shop with friendly/fabulous/funky fresh/fierce employees! Came here last night, while in town for a conference. I sampled the fresh rotating flavors (banana and strawberry) and settled on the original plain yogurt with strawberries and golden kiwis on top. It was so yummy! It's great that they're not trying to be an "ice cream shop" - they've got a niche for what they're doing and it just works. If I lived in Cambridge, I'd be coming here all the damn time.

  • Lisa H.

    It seems like the tart frozen yogurt craze hasn't hit the Boston area yet unlike California, where it's ubiquitous. However, BerryLine's yogurt really hits the spot on a hot summer day. I always get the same flavor at any yogurt place: original with strawberries. The original had the right amount of tangy-ness without being too sweet. The building is really cute too, with pictures of dancing fruit on the outside ^^ You can't go wrong with any of the fruit toppings. The only gripe I have is the amount of sitting space inside, only a couple of tables and chairs to accommodate the usual horde of people in line. Other than that, it's the best frozen yogurt place in Boston.

  • Debra M.

    I still love BerryLine. Its worth the summer time line. I have a frequent fro-yo card that I get stamped whenever I remember to. I tried the rose flavor not long ago, its a very mild mellow flavor, like a slightly sweet & less tart version of the original. The blueberry is great too. I'm not a big fan of the Taza chocolate, its got a grainy texture.

  • Elisabeth G.

    Oh Berryline, I would curse the fact that you are directly across the street from my office, tempting and taunting me daily, but you are so low in calories and so unbelievably delicious that I welcome you to my belly. You are delightfully tart, your toppings so fresh, your staff so nice and (and comfortably hipster-y), how can I resist you? Why should I try? I discovered Berryline near the Fenway and fell so overly-enthusiastically in love with it that my friend started making fun of me. Then when I started my new job, I discovered there was one across the street and knew I was in trouble. I can be found there about every other day between 2 and 3. I like the original the best of any flavors I have tried so far. I'm working my way through the toppings, but so far pineapple, mango, strawberries, blackberries, and granola are my favorites. Quality down the line. Love.

  • Casey F.

    What do you crave when it's November and dark and 35 degrees out? Berryline pumpkin pie yogurt with Oreos on top? ME TOO!!!!!! This was my first ever Berryline experience after driving past it 17 million times and even meeting one of the owners at a Yelp event. Day-m, what was I waiting so long for? It is a delicious, tart, and yet sweet dessert. Or snack. Or dinner. Or whenever, really. It's a dessert that's honestly not that bad for you. Maybe even a little good for you. I think it's good for my soul. Seriously. They always have the regular flavor, but have two other flavors that change as the seasons do. I LOVE places that change their offerings regularly - it makes me that much more likely to come back! Prices were fair slash way less than an itty bitty bit of Haagan Daaz would cost, and with just an itty bitty bit of the fat of Haagan Daaz. Now if only I can figure out how to install a Berryline store in my house... or barring that, getting them to open one in Brighton Center...

    Fan.tastic. BerryLine has never let me down. When I first fell in love with froyo I wasn't aware there were any places around Boston. Then I discovered BerryLine. All the locations are cheerful and the froyo is fantastic authentic tart yogurt. BerryLine always has surprising flavors, which I love. Anyone remember pear almond? Nutella? Pomegranate? Mango? I'm always pumped to see what fun flavor they'll have. The green tea and watermelon flavors featured last week were by far my favorites, especially with a nice topping of BerryLine's amazing homemade mochi. If I could choose any mochi to top my froyo with, it would always be BerryLine's. Fresh and just chewy enough to be yummy, their mochi has an amazing sweet rice taste that I haven't experienced with any other mochi I've ever had. I can never resist topping my yogurt with it. The other toppings are phenomenal as well. The fruit is always fresh. All I can say about the prices? The prices are great. If you get froyo anywhere in Boston, make it BerryLine. By far the freshest and most delish I've had in the area, so far.

    I love BerryLine. Delicious and light indulgence. :) It always gets me in a good mood--- especially on sunny days. The only thing that is not amazing is that on sunny days the line is very long--- still the wait is worth it. They change flavors every week, and they are all guaranteed to be delicious--- fruit is always fresh

    If you're looking for a frozen treat that is a bit lighter and healthier than traditional ice cream (depending on the toppings you choose!), then this is the place for you! BerryLine is a cute little frozen yogurt shop in Harvard Square that is a little tucked away on a side street. I never even noticed it there until a friend took me, and since that time I have been back once in a while. Although they offer different flavors, I would recommend sticking with the traditional and jazzing it up with toppings. If you're feeling more adventurous, the staff here are really friendly and happy to give you a generous sample. I love to add crunchy granola to my frozen yogurt, but the best part is the fresh fruit. That's right...you read that correctly...I said "fresh" fruit. None of that gelatinous fruit mess that you get a lot of ice cream places, but rather big chunks of fresh, ripe, delicious fruit that is in season. Mmmmmm, now that's how you do it!

    this ain't icecream!!! If you are in the Square, and are not square, go straight to Bartley's Burger for a quality shake or Herrell's or Christy's for fresh ice cream. Truth is, it is fresh yogurt (and I actually love real yogurt-a la Brown Cow), but Berry Line is just not my cup of fat. I got Original with Raspberries that were big but not local. I got it with the mini recees that were too small to taste. $5 and I didn't even get that special feeling. I wanted to stop here because I overhead at Harvard Book Store that this stuff was delicious. Oh yuppies, with their politically correct desserts! I guess BerryLine is delicious if you like frozen yogurt! I want to prolong summer feelings by eating Icecream; not sorbet, not yogurt, icecream. I recommend B-lining it to the creme of the crop.

    I'll just pile on the good reviews here like BerryLine piles on the toppings. Very friendly staff, the samples flow like wine, and the taste is great. I like strawberries and chocolate chips, though I am thinking about changing it up since there's usually self service Hershey's syrup. The frequent diner card is nice, and that marketing tool works on me. I have witnessed the long lines, but I prefer the off-peak times and winter when I don't have to wait too long, or at all. Keep up the good work, BerryLine!

    YUM! I think that I've found my new "happy place." I like what they've done to this place and what they'll be doing for my tummy. Apparently I had never had proper frozen yogurt prior to this, but it's the real deal people. Like other reviewers said, sweet and tangy. Also, the fruit is great quality, worth every penny!

  • Kristina D.

    I am yelping from BerryLine right now because my small original with strawberries and graham crackers is so good and relatively calorie-free. It is tiny but on a winter Sunday afternoon it is practically empty except for another girl on a laptop and three girls who just walked in as I typed the last sentence. Just heard all three girls order larges--now I am jealous because I just finished mine. Tomorrow I am giving a pop quiz in my Algebra 2/Trig class in which the students must calculate how much frozen yogurt "Ms. B" can order if she runs for 25 minutes averaging 14 calories/minute on the treadmill. BerryLine also pwns Arch's (an otherwise fine Charlottesville institution) in friendliness, atmosphere, and (lack of) presence of squawking sorostitutes.

    This place is much-welcomed addition to Harvard Square! Everything is fresh and delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything you order. I tried the Red Line smoothie my first time there, and it totally hit the spot. Have tried a few other smoothie combos out as well, and those were equally as good and refreshing. Great place to stop in when you're aimlessly walking around the Square and need to take a break.

  • Liz E.

    I find this place delicious. I'm making my friends who haven't eaten here come with me on my now frequent trips. The general goodness comes from: 1.Great taste. The perfect blend of tangy and sweet. Its not trying to be ice cream, it is what it is: great frozen yogurt. 2.Generous portions. Not in the "fat" way.. in the "its okay to eat lots of fruit and yogurt" way. 3.Affordable, even for addicts. The similarities to Pinkberry are obvious but somehow I'd rather eat at a nice local joint than journey to New York to spend twice as much. Whatever local flavor (creamy, sweet..) that differentiates it between its Pink cousin is probably the result of the owner's taste and is appreciated by my taste.

  • Michael D.

    I had seen this place time after time through the window of {shameless} Arrow Street Crepes, which is sort of upstairs and around the corner from BerryLine. I finally visited last week, and I was blown away! ...Mind you, not blown away by an overwhelming number of choices, or by a wall full of complicated options that sound equally, if undecipherably, delicious. BerryLine sports a small number of frozen yogurts, but pushes its original: a plain-yogurt flavor, subdued but sweet, just creamy enough, and delightfully light in the kilocalorie department. It's a solid, reserved base flavor that's perfect for carrying any number of their classic mix-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, toffee, strawberries, and the like. Add a smattering of smoothies, and high-quality, energetic service, and you have a sleek, happy operation that disarms with its charms. Visit and love.

    If you have read any of my reviews, you would know that I love cheap booze and don't often make it to the Cambridge side of the river. BL does not have booze and is on the other side of the Charles, but it is a place that I can see myself at frequently. Freshest fruit I have seen on the east coast, extremely nice and knowledgeable staff, a wonderful and delicious product, and a fun place to eat it in. Thanks BerryLine, I will be back.

  • Maggie B.

    This is real frozen yogurt, and it's the best I've had in New England. It's slightly tangy, slightly sweet and perfect with fresh fruit, or a few chocolate chips. This little shop has been host to numerous little eateries. I especially liked the crepe shop that went out of business some years ago. But it's a cute location, just outside Harvard Square. There's only enough seating for about 10 people, but who wants to sit when you could taste and stroll through Cambridge. As others have said, I'm not sure how healthy this all really is, but it FEELS healthy and I FEEL better after only a few ounces so go ahead and indulge. And don't forget those chocolate chips. :)

    I used to frequent TCBY until I experienced Berry Line. Huge huge huge fan. Always get a small original with strawberries, banana and granola. Never a long line & prices are reasonable. It has become my new Summertime Sunday night ritual.

  • Renee H.

    If I lived or worked in Harvard Square, I would have clogged arteries from eating huge helpings of this every single day. It's good. It's sooo good. It is the best frozen yogurt that I've ever eaten in my life. (Obviously, this isn't low-fat, low-cal fare. This ain't health food frozen yogurt.) Their choices are always original plus two other flavors, often fruit flavors, but sometimes something like peanut butter or Oreo. (I'm not sure why some reviewers seemed to be expecting ice cream here, actually.) The original is actually my favorite, but I do occasionally give the others a try. They're always happy to give you a little sample to help you make your decision. There's a decent selection of toppings (candies, cookies, etc.), although I usually stick to the fruit. The cost of a cup of fro-yo with toppings here is cheaper than or comparable to a lot of ice cream places. And marginally healthier.

  • Lily L.

    Ambiance: A bit of a walk from the main Harvard T, Berryline is quaint and cozy. Seating is a bit limited, but you can always burn the calories by walking and eating. It's a relatively healthier treat after all. Your choices are written on 2 walls. Food: There are 3 yogurt flavors: original + 2 others. The other flavors rotate around. So far, I've seen peanut butter, banana, passion fruit... All the flavors are variations of the same original froyo--slightly sour, that is. The toppings consist fresh fruits (e.g. strawberries, banana, pineapple, mango), chocolates (e.g. Reese's, Oreo, Heath Bar), nuts... I wish they had mochi bits though for some Asian twist to it (Yo! Berry has mochi bits and they are delicious). Service: Served by very friendly folks. Always willing to give you a sample of the flavors for you to try.

  • Jennifer H.

    This place is so overrated! Totally not worth the price! I got the tart ginger with mochi topping. The flavor of the tart ginger was not bad, though the texture was a little watery. The mochi, on the other hand, was terrible - hard and flour-y! Cambridge needs more Korean froyo places to bring down the price and increase the quality, West-coast style.

  • Meghan Q.

    The yogurt tastes like yogurt... how can you go wrong with honesty people?? The fresh fruit options appeal to my health-nut side while the oreo, chocolate chips, and other such toppings speak to the naughty sugar coated center of my heart. The flavors switch up often allowing you to play it safe with original (always available) and fruit flavors or take a walk on the wild side with some green tea or goji. The staff is friendly and always seem like they're having fun at their job! Bravo to you guys for making it happen!

  • Sara S.

    Love, Love, LOVE this place! Their original frozen yogurt has great flavor, is totally refreshing (even on a snowy winter day!). Awesome fresh fruit selection plus a bunch of other random toppings. Their small is the PERFECT size and cheap too (as long as you don't load up on the toppings). I am originally from California and have been searching for this kind of place! Light, sweet and yummy. Yea!!

  • Annie P.

    I am not trying to kiss ass since Matt W. is such a nice yelping Berryline part owner and all but BerryLine made me want to forget Pinkberry. Plus they capitalized the L in Line--soooo much better than Pb who tried to just create a fake word. Slightly vanishing that sour pucker lip taste was genius! New dessert/coffee spot.. since the whole place is super clean, cute with the Bren Bataclan art work and staff answers all your ridiculous questions with a good vibe. Fruity pebbles and pineapple success. Thanks, see you soon.

  • Jen F.

    The original flavored yogurt was a bit tart for my taste (I don't like plain yogurt though, so it is not a reflection on Berryline), but on my second visit I tried the peanut butter yogurt, and now I see why everyone else raves. The peanut butter yogurt with many ginormous chocolate chips on top definitely made a blustery Monday better. The staff is very friendly and always makes sure to give out a frequent buyer card or remind you to have it stamped. I will always prefer ice cream to frozen yogurt, but BerryLine is a pretty good alternative. And yes, I am one of those odd people that eat ice cream/frozen yogurt in the winter!

    This yogurt shop makes me jump with mochi-ball induced excitement. As a San Diego resident for the majority of my existence, I was concerned with the lack of froyo in Boston-the city I'll call home for most of the next four years. When I heard about BerryLine (through ChaCha), I went to check it out ASAP. It was a summer weekday night around 10, and there was a line out the tiny door. BerrryLine looks very odd from the outside, with brightly painted fruits on a yellow background that invokes thoughts of hippie mysticisms. The relatively unassuming interior is small and lacks seating area. It took about 10-15 minutes to get to the front of the line. The cranberry flavor they offered that day was rather bland tasting, so I went with original yogurt with strawberry, mango, and of course, mochi (which is hidden in a cabinet.. for freshness??)! It is accepted that attending MIT or Harvard will set you up for life. In this case, BerryLine, started by MIT/Harvard post-docs, shows that these schools' students can create amazing frozen yogurt as well. BerryLine's froyo has a amazingly creamy texture without any hints of iciness or lurking off-flavors. It reminds me of Red Mango's yogurt, except less sweet and simply better in some unexplainable sense. The best way to explain BerryLine's froyo is that after having a small serving, I wanted to go back and eat a lot more. On another positive note, BerryLine is the first froyo shop I've been to that uses compostable serving cups! This is commendable, considering the added costs of purchasing such cups and the reasonable-when compared with other froyo shops-price of the product. Overall, BerryLine kicks ass and could whoop most of SoCal's frozen yogurt chains into icy, tarty shards. WIth a larger, more central location, it has the potential to become even better than it already is.

    Like Pinkberry, but cheaper! My friends and I have been addicted to this place since we found out about it last October. I like how they usually have two or three flavors in addition to the original -- my favorites so far have been blueberry and raspberry. I usually get a fruit topping and white chocolate chips. I find that the sweetness of the white chocolate helps to balance out some of the tartness of the yogurt. I know that white chocolate chips aren't something that people intuitively think would go well with the yogurt but trust me -- it does. The owners drop by frequently and interact with the clientele, which gives the place a friendly vibe. My only complaint is that the shop is too small -- there's barely any seating, and in winter months no one wants to go outside to eat their frozen yogurt.

  • Anna P.

    Finally tried this place on one of the last warm days of the year. It's a little tricky to find if you don't know what you're looking for - much easier if you look for the dancing yogurts on the side of the building as you approach on Mass Ave from Central Square. The yogurt tasted very fresh. The fruit was sweet and actually ripe - which is a bonus. This felt like a much more nutritious snack than if I'd run out to buy a cookie at a coffee shop. The staff was super friendly, they gave me sizeable tastes of everything I wanted. They had a nice, chill soundtrack going and I felt pretty content to stay in the sunny alcove area reading while I ate my yogurt. They lose a star because the seating is kind of uncomfortable. I 'spose for the space they have, it's okay - and you really are meant to take your yogurt to go - but I wouldn't necessarily go here to hang out after dinner.

    This was my second time at BerryLine and I just absolutely love it. The yogurt is great and the fruit extremely fresh. Plus, they're not too skimpy with it and considering it's fresh fruit, the prices really aren't that bad. BerryLine is open until 11:00 Sun-Wed. and midnight Thurs-Sat. which I think is amazing for Boston. The first time I went the staff seemed rude and unhappy, but tonight they all seemed pretty cheery, even with the line out the door. It's healthy, but absolutely delicious and that is my favorite combination everrr. Of course, if you're not a big fan of healthy you can always get the yogurt (they have peanut butter yogurt sometimes!) with candy or cereal toppings and they let you put on your own chocolate syrup (as much as you want) or honey or maple syrup (sounds so strange, but I bet it's amazing). I'm a HUGE BerryLine fan and wish I lived closer!!

  • Nicole P.

    and there went my diet.... I know on paper that eating fro yo that tastes like real yogurt may not sound appealing but please try this place cause it's yummers! I would describe the taste as sweet and tart at the same time. There are usually 3 flavors- the original which even by itself is great I think. Last time I went in there was also oreo which was good but not my fav and raspberry which was great. You can get a combo half and half and there are tons of toppings. Toppings are creative- fruity pebbles, cocoa puffs, choco chips, pb chips, all kinda of fruit (fruit is a little frozen and would be better if it was not) and m&m's etc. By itself it's not so unhealthy, def. better then ice cream but do not pretend that it's as healthy as yogurt especially if you add toppings. I am going to try and restrain myself to once a week! It's hard cause it's only a 10 minute walk from my apt- eke!

  • Geoffrey R.

    WARNING: This is not your father's frozen yogurt. If you have had Pinkberry, you know what you are getting into. First off the location is below and on the backside of Arrow St. Crepes, and actually is where Arrow St. Crepes started off. Back to the offering. This is more of a real frozen yogurt. If you have had Greek yogurt, the perfectly sour and lightly sweet mixture that has a thick creamy texture, this is almost the same but frozen. Now I would say that I don't believe the "it is healthy" hype, it is healthier than icecream but the "only 25 calories" (quietly mentioning per ounce) isn't a exactly a low calorie food. But who gets a frozen delight as a diet aid? Also the price is quite reasonable and the hours allow a quick fix at almost any hour.

    I love Berryline. The froyo tastes like actual yogurt, except cold, and a small has only 125 calories... so you can actually call it a healthy snack. It tastes creamy but not rich, and I find it way more filling than sorbet. I recommend sampling the flavor(s) of the week. You can ask for a taste of anything if you'll curious but not ready to commit. My favorite so far is banana, but I always look forward to trying the new flavors. There's a good selection of frest fruit for toppings, plus other standard ice cream topping stuff like candy etc. Also, I love the bright art on the walls. My only complaint is that when you start adding on the toppings, a cup of yogurt gets really expensive really fast. :(

  • Tarah H.

    Have you ever seen a fro-yo place that had two flavors you wanted twisted on two separate machines? Did that make you cry a little on the inside? (It's okay if you admit it, it's happened to me.) Fear not, such a fate will never befall you at BerryLine. ...not that they have a machine for every twist option, but they are more than happy to put flavors side by side for you. (!!!) Not only will they give you two flavors off two separate machines...but if you want...they'll put your toppings at the bottom of the cup instead of on top. We even joked about them offering Grapenuts as a topping, but on stipulation that they would have to be added mid-swirl so as to prevent tooth chipping. Each flavor is amazing. I personally didn't go for the side by side because I needed the pomegranate (yes! pomegranate fro-yo) in my life and didn't want to pass up the original flavor. I topped mine off with strawberries and chocolate chips. I couldn't have been happier. (although I've already conjured up about 5 more combos I need to try)It took me about 30 minutes to make up my mind. The guys that run the shop are amazing. They're smart and funny...and really, really care! (if you couldn't tell by all the above and beyond to truly maximize your fro-yo enjoying experience detailed above) They're so open to suggestions and new ideas...but I think they're doing a pretty good job as is! The yogurt is amazing! The fruit is cut fresh! (they cut both mango and strawberries while I was there) The price is more than reasonable. Local, local, local! Not only are they a locally owned business themselves, but they offer locally roasted coffee, a local artist's work adorns the shop...I know there's more, but they're definitely doing their part. This tastes so good, it can't be good for me.... wait? it might be (they're waiting on lab results. oooo science) **fat free**??? Picture me impersonating Kathy Griffin impersonating Scooby Doo ( youtube.com/watch?v=uLAJ… ) I might just find myself making more and more excuses to go to Harvard Sq. ...as well as scouting in-town vacant spaces and leaving them notes under the door.

    For me, it doesn't get much better than fro-yo with fresh fruit on a hot summer day. When they first opened a little over a year ago, my co-workers and I made frequent post lunch trips to Berry Line to beat the heat of summer 2008. Summer 2009 has become busier at work, but I still make frequent stops on the weekends and do my best to introduce new people to Berry Line. Try the "Red Line" smoothie, very tasty!

  • Julia S.

    BerryLine is the frozen yogurt against which all fro-yo should be measured. It's amazing! The crazy flavors keep me coming back for more - lavender honey, coconut almond, and nutella, oh my! Even though the toppings are great, I usually just get my yogurt plain so that I can savor the deliciousness in its purest state. Oh, BerryLine, I love you so!

    The Greatest Place!! BerryLine has i think five different froyo basis and then you can add fruite and anything you desier ontop...its healthy, not a lot of calories (only 25) and then you can customize your treat with fruites, and other goodies!....its very very popular, some times they have a line out the door, and down the street of people to get in...VERY GOOD

    since moving Across The River, i barely come to harvard square anymore. so when my boyfriend said he was going i demanded he bring me back a berryline treat since it is rated so highly on yelp and i was curious. he brought me the original flavor with added chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. the flavor literally tasted like yogurt that had been frozen...it was pretty damn tasty. my only complaints would be the topping to yogurt ratio (very few toppings on top of the large he brought home) and the fact that since all the toppings were just right on the top, when i opened it up to check it out i spilled chocolate chips everywhere. d'oh. since now harvard square is like 99.9% chains i can appreciate that this is a locally owned place (and a yelper owned place at that).

  • Mandy H.

    Just going to add to the choir. I work across the street from Berryline at ART. All the ushers are thinking of starting a support group? Why? delicious froyo that actually tastes like yogurt and some like some fakey fake processed crud. How novel! A food that actually tastes as nature intended it to....but awesome(er). The staff is incredibly nice and upbeat and there are only 25 CALORIES per ounce, so a small is 125 calories. What kind of snack food is that low calorically! That is equivalent to 1.5 Fig Newtons. Plus they have hot chocolate and apple cider with real cinnamon sticks in it AND they take debit cards ( no $5 minimum thing, too). I It's almost as if someone got into my subconscious and created the perfect eatery for me. All they need to do is start giving kittens away at the register and I'll be convinced there was some Total Recall-action going on.

    I passed this place everytime I walk on mass ave to harvard sq and always see a long line. Went in one day with my kids and mother in law to try it out. The fruit toppings are fresh and delicious but I guess we are not fans of fro-yo because we never went back. Services was good because I told the girl we were first time customers and she took her time explaining what their have.

    Dear Yelp, I know I haven't been very useful in my reviews lately. So in an effort to be better myself, I'll *try* to be useful in this review. -B.e.r.r.y.L.i.n.e- |"| !!! !!! _ _ ,,, _|_|_ ` _ _ ' ` _ _ ' '\ \ - / /` (o o) (o o) - (oXo) - - (oXo) - ([o o]) ooO--(_)--Ooo-ooO--(_)--Ooo-ooO--(_)--Ooo-ooO--(_)­--Ooo-ooO--(_)--Ooo-ooO :: I love the cute murals outside, as well as the paintings inside. :: The green tea flavor here is definitely better than Yo! Berry. I like it. ^-^ :: I know fruits are healthy, but can't you make an "unhealthy" flavor? White Russian, Bailey's, mocha, peanut butter, burnt sugar, nutella?? Please please please make a banana fro-yo and a nutella fro-yo on the same day, so I can get the two together at the same time. When I was there, the featured flavors were original, green tea, cranberry, orange, and one other fruit flavor. My suggestion is let the health nuts pick at the berries and fruits, and do one not-so-healthy flavor. :: This is just my opinion, but it was semi-annoying how the girls keep calling everyone "honey." (ex. "Hi, what can I get for you honey?") They are very friendly, but it's overdone. I wouldn't mind be called honey by a cute guy (^-^) in a diner or some fast food place, but it doesn't seem fitting to this environment. :: For toppings- choices, choices! There is a variety of toppings, and I know if I load them up, my treat will go from healthy to feeling the need to get my ass on that exercise bike! The choices are kind of typical, however. Maybe some other kinds can be pomegranate seeds, chinese almond cookies, vanilla almond granola at TJ's, dried cherries, cake pieces, salted pistachios, waffle cone pieces, real mochi (not rice cakes).. I don't like fro-yo in a cone, but I like pieces of cone in my fro-yo. :: Maybe BerryLine can serve some breakfast items once they've established their shop too. Matt W, serve some of those huge pancakes in your picture! (^o^) :: Although I don't like any healthy alternatives to ice cream, BerryLine is nice for those looking to find one. I will return though, because I am obsessively compulsive about collecting all 10 stamps to get one free frogurt! Yay! ................

    Yup, it's true. This stuff is amazing. I was craving junk junk junk so I got my yogurt with white choc chips and choc chips. Eh, next time I am getting fruit. The yogurt is just so yummy and fresh and healthy tasting, I felt like I was bastardizing it with chocolate. This is the kind of food you will crave. When it gets warmer out, you bet your ass i'll be eating berryline for lunch every day. If could motivate to make the 10 min walk from my office instead of driving, maybe I can even be "healthy." Nah. So pleasantly sour and sweet and refreshing at the same time. I wish I was eating this stuff right now.

    I've done a pretty thorough tasting around of the many tart fro-yo options in Boston and NYC. BerryLine is still my top contender, on the basis of taste, generous toppings, and friendly vibe. I love the Harvard Square location best...probably because it is the most quaint and was the site of my first ever tart fro-yo experience (which, interestingly, was not amazing, but only because I had yet to acquire the taste for it).

    Why is it that whenever I have cravings, I always tend to go the opposite direction? What do I mean? Well, let's follow Waldo! I started from Brookline (home base), then Porter Sq for lunch, then Union Sq to check out its festival, then to Inman Sq for some Christina's Ice cream...but before continuing, I thought about ice cream places that I haven't check out yet and BerryLine came up (yes, I know it's yogurt)! So it's off to Central Sq to catch the red line for the BerryLine at Harvard Sq! I almost missed this place too because of its tucked away locale off between Mass Ave and Arrow St (you're walking south from Hahvarhd Sq). The cartoonish exterior and interior makes it welcoming and makes you expect Spongebob to greet you inside (no, I wasn't traumatized as a child). There are nice small tables and chairs for you to sit in inside, as well free WiFi to get some reading done or write more Yelp reviews. Their choices are either original or flavor of the week (cranberry was this week, but others had mango, pomegranate, black cherry, and papaya) and your choices of toppings are fruit, chocolate or pb chips, granola, etc. The small was just enough for me,but they come in medium and large as well. I got the mango and pb chips on original yogurt and it was delish! The price (around $3) is awesome compared to competitions in LA (i.e. Pinkberry, Red Mango) and it tastes just as good, if not better! And fellow Yelper/owner Matt W is an equally awesome guy, putting his MIT education to run this place here. He says that he and his partner (Eric) are really enjoying this after doing this for about a month and are thinking of baked goods in the near future to complement their coffees. Give him a Yelp holler next time you stop by! One suggestion: bring in the mochi topping! So after enduring endless miles of travel, I'm a happy camper because I have yogo in my tummy (and I get extra points for putting up with Red Sox fans on the way home, right?)!

    oooh so GOOD! Definitely a healthy alternative to ice cream. The taste is very tart, tastes just like real yogurt. The fruits are always very fresh and a MUST. Although I enjoy this place a lot, I still rather stick to gelato.

    Being so far away from Pinkberry makes me a little sad, but now there's the bigger and better Berry Line a mere hour away in nearby Boston. Though I wouldn't trek it just for fro-yo...... would I? Tasting that good and still low fat is a beautiful thing. Regular flavor never gets old. It's smoother and creamier than Pinkberry and definitely less tart, which is why Berry Line trumps Pinkberry. Now I can add pineapple topping without my glands going wild. Topping choices include your cereals, fruits, and chocolates. Personal fav: fruity pebbles, banana, and MOCHI. Inside is quaint and cute as a button.. makes you want to sit and talk about happy thoughts.

    So this is Boston's answer to Pinkberry! I have to admit, its really good. Its creamier than Pinkberry which in some ways makes it more satsfying, they've got cool flavours like peanut butter, banana and apple. Their toppings could be a little better - my mango bits were kinda tart and graham crackers were HUGE. But for a little home grown store which is the only one of its kinda in Boston - I'm sure I'll have no choice but to come back to fill my frozen yoghurt void...unless of course, Pinkberry comes into town and takes over.

    The green line sucks, the orange line is drrrty, the silver line isn't real and the blue line goes nowhere... but the red line... amongst it's other awesomenesses it now also takes you to Berryline. In fact, it goes right under it, rumbling the little shop with a bassy groan every few minutes. It rocks - literally! So get on the red line, get up to Harvard Sq and get some amazing frozen yoghurt from this cool venture by yelper Matt W and friends. They've turned a dirty old shop into a great space with funky artwork, lots of light and a sweet mural on the side. They serve smoothies, coffee and mighty leaf tea (love that tea!) to go alongside your frozen yoghurt. And let's talk about the frozen-yoghurt... there's plain and flavoured with the latter changing each week (I had blueberry). The sizes are generous and cheap considering. And for toppings there are tons of freshly cut fruit options and other lovely stuff like oreo pieces. The frozen-yoghurt is creamy and sweeter than yo berry's but (what what what?!) it really tastes of greek yoghurt. YUM! Matt tells me their recipe was customised for the New England taste. Local fro-yo for you! Go! AND DID I MENTION FREE WIFI? In Harvard Sq? Yes YES

    I thought I never wanted to step foot into a frozen yogurt place again after trying (and throwing away) Pinkberry last year. But I'm not one to say no to food, so I gave BerryLine a shot and I'm glad I did. It's not too sour like PB, it tastes light and fresh, and the flavors are not overbearing. I like the original, but I'm always up for new flavors. The mojito sticks out in my mind as being one of the better ones. Peanut butter was good too. In terms of toppings, stick with the fruits, nuts, and granolas. It's not BerryLine's fault, but I don't think the texture of chocolate chips and peanut butter chips and the like go well with frozen dessert. Now if only they'd build another one on campus...or at least offer a catering service (PB does)...

    (5)

  • Anthony R.

    Looks like I'm in the clear minority here and I feel bad spoiling the party, but I'll go ahead and say it: BerryLine's frozen yogurt is certainly novel, but I do not think that it is good. Yes, it has few calories in it. Yes, the staff is friendly. Yes, it's tasty when you load it up with fruit, oreos, or M&Ms. But hold on - is it tasty without those things? I found myself making sure I got a mini M&M in every spoonful so I could avoid the straight taste of the yogurt. Maybe I'm not cool enough - or maybe the calories in my dessert don't disturb me that much - but if I get a hankering for something cold in Harvard Square, I'm going to Herrell's and having a deliciously fatty frozen ice cream that tastes sublime without having to add M&Ms. If I want yogurt, I'll buy a quart of Stonyfield.

  • Soooap L.

    food: i like their sweet, slightly tart yogurt and their fresh mochi. it's local, easily accessible, and cheaper than Red Mango. i still prefer Berryline over BoYo despite living walking distance from BoYo. service: i've had a positive experience 9/10 times. there was 1 exception where we arrived near closing and the staff were less than friendly, but i emailed the manager who quickly apologized, and sent us a kind email and gift card afterwards. in short: dependably good yogurt and humble management keep me a fan.

  • Cara P.

    Berryline! I might not have found you so soon, if not for the buzz on yelp....I don't get to Harvard Square too often. So I decided to trek to Harvard square just for you!....ok and to go to Lush.......but YOU were the main reason. You see.....froyo places hold a special place in my heart. When I was younger and my mother would drop me off to go to CCD, I would run over to meet up with three of my closest friends and we would turn around and wave goodbye to our parents. We would look to our right and look to our left, than we would run like hell. Yup, we skipped every third class or so and flocked to TCBY. Sadly, our excursions stopped. Nope, our parents didn't find out. TCBY had to closedown because their employees had sticky fingers. It was a sad day for all. Since those days nothing has hit the mark until now. Yes, Berryline was seriously freakin, oh my lord unbelievable....I got the original with strawberry...You know, I just wanted to play it safe before I opened up my heart to Berryline.......just like any relationship. The original is perfect. Smooth, creamy, tastes like yogurt but not too tart like yogurt....just a nice balance.......doesn't taste artificial whatsoever. So Berryline has taken over...not just because they have delish yogurt but because they have a kick ass mural on their store front, wifi, indoor and outdoor seating, cool artwork on their walls -when I went it was art by Bren Bataclan and the pieces fit perfectly inside Berryline-, the staff was super super nice and looked HAPPY to be there.... I plan to get a bit more creative the next time with my toppings, but I think I need all I need to know to give this place five stars. If you haven't been and you love froyo....GO! It is only a few minutes from the Harvard Square "T" stop!!!! I am lucky I don't live near this place or it would definitely be a two a dayer for me.

    When dessert time rolls around, sometimes you need a lil' somethin' somethin' that is tangy and tart. At those times, run here! Berryline frozen yogurt has filled that void left open by all of the ice cream shops around Harvard Square and done so with smiles behind the counter. PS: while Berryline has a ton of toppings (just granola is my fave: great texture and not too sweet for the yogurt), don't be afraid to buy your froyo naked! It tastes perfect as is and you may find yourself pushing aside your fix-ins to get to the good stuff!

    (5)

  • J K.

    It's on some pinkberry status but the difference is that it's a small business obviously. There's always the original flavor available and the other two are always changing. The available toppings include cool stuff like mochi, kit kats, chocolate-carmel pieces (my favorite) and of course all the fruits that you can probably think of. Just as expensive as pinkberry but if you're a regular, you get a free one per every 10 (they give you a punch card). One downside is that the place is so small and so close to harvard square that the line is almost always out the door. About a 5 minute wait, and rarely up to 10. Oh, and the employees aren't smile-and-be-happy-all-the-time machines so there's no blowing up your spot when you walk in with something like "HELLO AND WELCOME TO PINKBERRY". Just a normal "how you doing" like a normal person.

  • Dana L.

    After eating here, I don't think that I can ever eat any other froyo. In fact, that stuff isn't even froyo at all, so far as I can tell. I ordered the regular, which tasted just like ... (catch this)... Frozen Yogurt!!! Not some chemically bullshit, but actual, real, yogurt that had been frozen. Kind of sour, like real yogurt, but sweet at the same time. A perfect cacophony of flavors (or something). It was like my eyes had been opened, and I had seen the light (but not quite that powerful - this is frozen yogurt we're talking about after all, and not a drug trip or spiritual experience). You should come here. And if you are thinking about eating non-BerryLine frozen yogurt, you should be ashamed at yourself. Wow, this sounds like an ad.

    Finally ... it is hard to find real frozen yogurt. Most are mixed with real creamy ice cream which is fine but if you know this taste already, other so called "frozen yogurt" does not taste any yogurt but plane ice cream. Anywhoo.. I tried Grapefruit and it was delicious with a bit of bitterness. My friend had original one but it was a bit too sweet to me. I hope more of this kind of store opens in Boston..

  • Bethany B.

    I had been craving some froyo for awhile, and I was ready to settle for the stuff in the food court at the mall... when, on one hot pre-summer lunch break at work, I discovered BL. Delicious. I got the original with walnuts, strawberries and oreo's. The froyo was a little tart and not over-sweetened which was a nice compliment to my toppings. I now know where I will be spending most of my summer lunches.....

  • Ashlee C.

    Very good - tangy yogurt that has a little sweetness, but nothing like a typical frozen dessert. The fruit toppings are a little excessive in price, 80 cents for the first, 70 for the second, etc. However, after speaking to Matt W. through yelp, I now realize that the prices are as low as they can be in order for the store to be profitable. I totally appreciate Matt's honesty and the help has always been super friendly in the store - so that is a huge plus for me. WARNING: Absolutely, by no means, ever, order the pineapple yogurt. My boyfriend and I were deeply saddened to find it tasted bitter, and vaguely like under ripened cantaloupe. Unfortunately, it did not resemble the taste of pineapple at all, and worse, tasted flat out bad. From now on we shall stick to the original flavor, as it is delicious, and less risky than the specials. Overall, highly recommended. Beware of lines out the door on weekends - this stuff is good!

  • Alec Y.

    this place is adorable. i love it. i work at a regular ice cream shop, and i know its hard work. but they do a great job. the people are extremely nice. the product is great. i love the idea of a healthy frozen yogurt that actually taste like yogurt. and the fresh fruit are always the sweetest can be. i love this place and i would suggest it to anybody looking for a nice healthy dessert in harvard square. it gets incredibly busy during dessert times. it's almost incredible. a line out the door for a hundred feet at least. but the line goes pretty fast. theres barely any room in the actual place itself, but your in harvard square, i don't think you should be inside anyways.

  • Joe M.

    Good but overrated. The service here is good. The waitstaff has a smile, greets you, and maintains cool under a long line of people in such a small hole in the wall. So I gotta give them cred for that. Unfortunately, a place like this, service isn't a big factor. I will say one thing though, they are DEFINITELY open on the hours they have scheduled. This is in contrast to the better tasting but suck service of Yo! Berry. The yogurt itself is...okay. Regular frozen yogurt, I'm not good enough to discriminate between tastes. But whether it was my strawberries or my frozen yogurt, I had ice chunks in my frozen treat. Unacceptable. Properly thaw these things, I should not have to worry about freezer burn. It's good, if you want fancy frozen yogurt and you're in the area. But if you're NOT in the area and deciding between this and other places, may want to experiment with a new place. I've got a sneaking suspicion that after this place won the Yelp best FroYo award, the quality will take a hit. Kinda wish I knew this place before it got famous. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. Maybe I take freezer burn too seriously....nah. It's frozen treats, you should know how to avoid freezer burn. Bush league stuff right there. Not sure if it was pricey. I didn't pay, my friend did. =) Update- Just got contacted by the owner, one Matt W. upon reading my review. Asked me a bit more about the strawberries and said that they don't plan on letting success getting to them and ruining the quality of food. I'm maintaining for the time being that YoBerry's was better for the time being. But I'm making a trip back to BerryLine in the near future with my friend to give it another shot. Perhaps I caught them at a bad time. I'm also adding another star. The fact he cares THAT much? Exceptional.

    The best yogurt! It's such a treat, and I don't feel as guilty. Don't get me wrong, I pile on the toppings...that's the best part!! I was happy to see that they were open until 11 on a Sunday. Depressed about going back to work the next day? Head on over to Berryline and yogurt your worries away!

  • Kara S.

    After just discovering how great pinkberry is during my last visit to NYC, I was all set to curse Boston for not having one. Then, lo and behold, I stumble upon Berryline. While it's not quite as good Pinkberry, it's still damn good. I went the other day and got an original with cocoa puffs and strawberries. As much as I like fresh fruit, I thought the acidity of the strawberries detracted from the tangy flavor of the frozen yogurt. So when I go back, which will be later today because I am a gluttonous pig, I plan to stick to cereal toppings. Also, I believe I saw a sign that said they had free wifi, though they only have small scattering of seats.

    (5)

  • Tina L.

    I wish it didn't cost an arm and a leg to have a nice fro-yo. It is good though - better with fruit :) And I stick to the original, the flavors are a little strange b/c the yogurt is tart and the fruit adds it's own flavor to the mix. If you're a pinkberry fan - this one is more creamy and similar to the YoBerry stuff over at 88. I actually like pinkberry the best but what can you do?

    (4)

  • Shaina S.

    A note: I'm not picky about much but I'm picky about my yogurt. The low-down: This place is a little bit hidden, but worth finding. The decor is cute, with adorable little cartoonish paintings on the walls that I wanted to snatch up to hang in my dorm room, and a bar area by the window to sit and eat my ice cream. The choice: I opted for the Original with strawberries and nectarines, my mind all set to compare this to Pinkberry, Cherry On Top, and any of my other California frozen yogurt favorites. The tasting: I have to agree with what I've heard. This stuff is creamier than Pinkberry, and has almost a subtle honey-like taste to it. The fruit was fresh and good and I got a decent amount of it. It was good, but I'm not sure if it was perfect... The verdict: This yogurt isn't something I'll get cravings for, but it will be enough to satisfy the Cherry On Top cravings I already have.

  • Linh V.

    It was alright. I got the apple and my boyfriend got the raspberry. I guess it's unfair that we only decided to try BerryLine because we wanted something to compare to Yo! Berry. Safe to say we've sided with Yo! Berry's modest flavorings and toppings. Perhaps one day we'll be wild enough for BerryLine's boldness.

    (3)

  • Frank L.

    Me to Clerk: !'ll take the pint size! Clerk to Me: Is it okay if I put the toppings in a separate container? Since the pint size is so large? Me to myself: HELL YEAH!!! Me to Clerk: Ok. Yes, I do believe that BerryLine is the best deal in frozen yogurt I've seen. But as far as flavor goes, I prefer my frozen yogurt a little more tart like PinkBerry's. I like it when it tastes like real yogurt. Also my advice is don't get the grapefruit base without tasting it, it's really BITTER!!!

  • Anna W.

    Berryline is the place to go in Harvard Square if you're looking for a cool summer treat. Ice cream can weigh you down, but nothing like a little topping of fruit to make anything seem healthy - and the yogurt is FAT FREE! Now I'm not a very adventuresome eater, but I can always find something yummy to try and Berryline - I'm a fan of raspberries + heath (and then a healthy dose of the chocolate syrup they've got in the back). Love it! Now why only 4 stars? Well, for as much as I do love Berryline, it can get expensive if you want more than a small one topping (even that gets you close to 4 bucks). But, for the occasional treat, you can't beat it!

    (4)

  • Katie A.

    The best fro-yo in Harvard Square. The rotating flavored yogurts have all been really good, but I recommend banana and original. The toppings are always fresh, with their fruit toppings taking center stage. With all the fresh fruit, it is easy to feel good about what you are eating. It isn't super expensive (especially if you have ever been to Herrells!) I really like that the yogurt tastes like yogurt and makes you feel energized instead of blah. If I had more disposable income, I would find many more reasons to stop by and have a medium with mango and strawberries. The seating at this location lacks, but it is just a really small space. Unless its really rainy or cold, it is easy to find a place outside.

  • Jen P.

    You will only like this place if you like yogurt and fresh fruit. I always stayed away from "frozen yogurt" because it always tries to masquerade as ice cream, and you just can't mess with ice cream. My friend Robyn turned me on to this place. (They know her by sight now as she stops there on her way home from work every day and I am jealous of that). Yogurt is delicious...flavors are really good although I usually get original flavor and pile with strawberries and granola (YUM). I recently tried the peanut butter, which at first I didn't think would be good, but I loved it and got oreos as my topping. I've gotten a sample of ginger before, but didn't think it was too gingery (I like my ginger strong). I really like that they say that they don't always have toppings if the produce is not fresh that day...I would prefer for them to be out than to get overripe slimy strawberries. Only drawback is that it's tiny and on hot days there's a line out the door, and it can be pretty messy with food that's fallen on the floor. I noticed more flies buzzing around the last time I was there (which I know can't be helped sometimes.) Oh, another good thing is the Berryline stamp card...buy 10, and get one free. I will definitely use this.

  • Gordon B.

    Love it! Love it! Love it! but alas, there is a catch... The yogurt is too healthy so I add Oreo and graham crackers and voila! a masterpiece. Way less guilt than Ben & Jerry's and still pretty good. Edit: their marketing is purposefully misleading about the '25 calorie' thing so I had to bump them down. Good stuff just the same

    Mmmm mmm mmm I love Berry Line! The natural yogurt with lots of yummy toppings from fruit to yogurt chips makes this one of my favorite treats to have when walking around Harvard Square. Their Mass Ave. location is also way more roomy and has extra seating!

  • Madison S.

    Ever since I moved here from Los Angeles I have been missing Pinkberry, and this place is just as good if not better! There are plenty of toppings, and the fruit is always fresh. Prices are reasonable; it's less than Pinkberry! What else is there? Oh, the place is tiiiny but clean, the staff are nice, and the lines are loooong-even in winter!!

    I'm pretty sure they put crack in this stuff. The original flavor is the best. I could eat this every day, all day long. Doesnt really matter what topping you add-it will be tasty no matter. 2 problems...1.They advertise the nutritional content like its healthy, but it really isnt (how many "serving size"s in the dish you get? not so healthy when you figured it out...). 2. I'm a fat ass pig and bought a large with one topping (pineapple). Only cost me $6. Wtf? If this stuff wasn't crack, I'd never pay that much for dessert. Unfortunately, it is crack...very yummy crack...and my wallet got cleaned out. Oh well. I'll be back for more soon...very soon!

  • Pamela Y.

    Yogurt shops have sprouted on every corner here in LA, so when my friend insisted that we have froyo in Boston, I wasn't expecting too much. I was however, pleasantly surprised that a fellow Bruin opened Berryline! On the froyo spectrum, I think Pinkberry is on one end in terms of tartness.. not my cup of tea. Then Red Mango is a bit creamier, less tart, closer to soft serve. Then there's Berryline, which barely had a faint hint of tartness. I did like it though, it just didn't taste like yogurt to me. Berryline also has more topping selections, which is cool. I topped my cup with oreos and blueberries. Only as I stepped out of the store did I look down and realize what dumbass weird mixture that was. I'm still thoroughly confused at how people can eat frozen anything in a place where 65 degrees is considered a hot day?? It must be cool not to have to worry about it melting quickly I guess...

  • Katie M.

    When I first tried the tart yogurt I was a little taken back, now I am in love. I was obsessed last summer and would go more than once a week. I love the fresh yogurt with any kind of berry. So refreshing. You can also go chocolatey with it or get a variety of candy toppings.. too much to choose from and I love it!

  • tim l.

    My girlfriend and I go to Berriline 2-3 times a week. We went there last night, and both ordered an original with kiwi and strawberry. Half and hour later we began vomiting and getting very ill. I contacted the location and told them that they may want to check their fruit, but was only met with "Well, we cut our kiwis fresh daily." I was stunned at the lack of concern that the location could be serving bad fruit. I emailed customer service, and received a reply from the store general manager about their freshly cut fruit.....again with the freshly cut fruit! Later that night I received another email from the owner, once again telling me about their strict standards. I may be crazy but 2 people eating the same thing and then getting very very sick is a bit odd and more than a coincidence....I will never go to this location again.

    (1)

  • Dave C.

    Absolutely fantastic! All the flavors of yogurt are great, and the toppings are always fresh and plentiful. One of the things that people aren't aware of when they first hear that it's frozen yogurt is that this stuff still retains the tartness and tangyness of yogurt, it's not the sweet wanna-be soft-serve ice cream. I tend to stick with the fruit toppings (blackberries, raspberries, kiwi, strawberries, etc...) and heavily favor the original or berry flavored yogurts (blueberry, cranberry, etc...), but it's all great. The lines get long in the summer, especially when school starts up, but the staff is fast, friendly, and plentiful so it moves quick.

  • Julie S.

    This is quality frozen yogurt. The chocolate is made with Taza, and they have a wide variety of fresh fruit toppings. My husband and I shared a large Taza with 4 different fruit toppings, all of which were delicious. As an added bonus, BerryLine has Hershey's chocolate syrup out on the counter so you can make your yogurt as chocolatey as you like. Plus, with the fruit toppings, you can pretend you're eating a healthy snack.

  • James S.

    I was really excited when I learned about Berryline; especially after reading the recent yelp reviews. So, while on a study break, I decided to venture over to 1 Arrow for a pick-me-up. I've been to a few of these new, natural style, yogurt places and I really like the ones I've tried in Los Angeles and the SF Bay Area. So why just three stars?... 1 Star deduction for the taste of the original flavored yogurt. Since I've tried a few of these natural places, I expected a more intense and pure yogurt flavor. 1 Star deduction for getting my order wrong. I ordered a small original with two toppings - strawberries and kiwi. Instead I got Raspberries and kiwi. I didn't say anything because it looked like a good combination, and it was, but that's not what I asked for. On the plus side - the pace was clean and the people were cool. More than happy to offer a free sample. I'm sure i'll be back, but I expected more.

  • Ligaya C.

    After a very long bike ride around Boston, our pit-stop to BerryLine seriously hit the spot! The yogurt definitely has a much more creamer consistency than the other "Berry" joint that started in California and hitting almost every metro city (which I pray doesn't make it here, or if it has, Damn!)....We tried a half original and half banana yogurt mix and topped it off with strawberries, mangoes and passion fruit. What a delight! As we headed back on our bike ride, we could only think about our next trip to BerryLine. Low in calories but loads of flavor, how could anyone say no to that! BerryLine is the spot that can satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. Love the artwork too!

  • Jennifer V.

    Never had better tasting frozen yogurt before in my life. I first went here this past summer when it was about 90 degrees outside and I needed a place to pop in and grab some a/c. while inside I looked up at the frozen yogurt flavors of the day (3 only). I decided to take a chance on the raspberry, and my goodness was it love at first taste. I went in several times after hoping for raspberry but I was surprised to try other flavors such as Banana, Plain, and Peanut Butter amongst others. One of the employees said they serve whatever the owner feels like serving that day, so there is no set flavor schedule, it's the luck of the draw. This is place will definitely have you trying every flavor they have to offer. p.s. - they have lots of healthy toppings to choose from.. sorry no hot fudge. :)

  • Doris W.

    I've missed you Berryline. It's been months, maybe even a year? We waited in line after eating all day and when I finally got my usual, small original with no toppings, I felt different. You changed. Where was the tartness that I fell in love with? You became more sweeter and more creamy in texture. It wasn't bad but darnit I miss the tartness!

    (4)

  • Tammy H.

    I've been craving this stuff everyday since I got back to Boston. Only made it 3 out of the 6 days I've been here! Shucks. I love this froyo (original) 'cause it's not too tart, it's creamy and not too stiff (think PB). I deduct one star 'cause they don't give you much froyo in your cup.

    (4)

  • Sarah S.

    Frozen yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt? Oh yes. Oh. Yes. A schmeck pricy for what it is. I think they charge a wee bit too much for a small sprinkling of "mix" ins that are actually served on top of your yogurt. But hey, it's still really quite good. The pomegranate and orignal flavors are truly very tasty, and the fruit mix-ins taste very fresh. And the fact that it's right across the street from the theater where I work makes it even better. EDIT: I want to give this place 5 stars- believe me, I do! Working these past few weekend, I've been there no less than twice a weekend. And dayum, this stuff is tasty. BUT, the mango I got last weekend tasted tinny and strangely metallic, and the pineapple yogurt, while it was good in small doses (ie: in a test taste), was slightly bitter and off-tasting in larger portions (ie: my actual yogurt concoction). That having been said, they had absolutely delicious blackberries and kiwi last weekend. Yeah, KIWI!

  • Rachel B.

    One flavor (plus original) sort of threw me for a loop. And I tasted something unidentifiable in the original...I want to say....oatmeal? I couldn't place it. Nice space, fresh toppings, and people behind the counter were super nice, though. And the small was generous.

    (4)

  • Megan B.

    I know I'm going against the grain here, but..... NO CONES? What kind of ice cream/yogurt shop doesn't do cones? Cups with spoons are just awkward and not the way God intended us to eat frozen delights. Also: it tastes all chemically to me. I dig the tartness, but the formulation has a weird aftertaste that makes me suspect that the stuff is chock-full of chemicals. Perhaps this is why they keep their formula a "secret"?

  • Jenny L.

    I was really craving some pinkberry/kiwiberry so I decided to give this place a try. The original was more creamy and less tangy than pinkberry's original but still pretty good. I love the way Pinkberry's yogurt tastes like those Asian yogurt drinks so I still prefer Pinkberry. The fruit options are not as extensive as Pinkberry but is all super fresh and not frozen. The store itself is very small so the fact that it offers free wifi doesn't do much because there's no place to sit. One thing about BerryLine that I do like more than Pinkberry is the fact that they serve coffee and expresso as well as the fro yo. Overall, it was enough to satisfy my Pinkberry craving until they finally make their way to Boston. And it's definitely better than regular fro yo any day, so if you haven't given either a try I definitely recommend it!

    Meeting with a friend in Harvard Square, she directed us to what seems to be another one of the many pink berry replicas that are popping up all over the US. While this seems to be true from the toppings and flavors offered (They do have Peach though!), I must say the taste of the yogurt is much smoother than that of the original (Pink berry). The overall "berry" product was solid, though not outstanding. I would give it 5-stars if the advertised free internet worked (I'm actually sitting in BerryLine now, but this is my 4th try to post this) If you're close to Bow and Arrow, I'd definitely say its with trying out, but I wouldn't go too far out of the way for it.

    BerryLine is located off of Harvard Square in a little bit of an obscure location, but if you have a hankering for frozen yogurt, it's well worth the stroll over there. The frozen yogurt is of a creamier texture (less icy) and less tart than their competitor, Yo! Berry, so the flavor is slightly more like ice cream. In my opinion, their fruit is of slightly better quality than Y!B, but their selection of toppings isn't quite as good. They didn't have mochi at first, which was a huge minus, but that has since been rectified. If you go later, near closing, they do have a tendency to run out of certain toppings (yes, the good ones). BL serves its product in thin cardboard bowls, which results in a lot of melting and stickiness if you take it outside of a 15 foot perimeter of the store, so plan on eating there or somewhere right outside. There ain't much seating in this tiny establishment, but they do set up a plastic table or two outside when weather permits. I've gone with a group before, and we end up standing around outside, scarfing down our froyo.

    Let me start off by saying that BerryLine is FANTASTIC, especially considering the lack of good fro-yo options in the Harvard Square area. I probably paid 2 visits a week to BerryLine over the past year before moving to Cali, and I always devoured the frozen treat. However, like almost everything else in life, BerryLine isn't perfect and there are other frozen yogurt places (e.g., Fraiche, Red Mango, Pink Berry) that are comparable if not better in some key fro-yo attributes. After trying several other fro-yo places across the country (in NYC, Boston, and Bay Area), I feel like I can now rate BerryLine objectively and more reliably. Here are the pro's and con's: Pro's: - The original is probably the best tasting original I've had anywhere because it has that tangy, yogurt flavor. I also like how they rotate flavors every few weeks. - Their topping selection is pretty good and I like their fresh strawberries and blueberries. - They have a GREAT staff that is extremely friendly and happy to be working there. - It's cheap and they have a buy 10 get 1 free loyalty card. - It's entrepreneurial and down to earth. The owners are post-docs who genuinely enjoy interacting with their customers. The place doesn't have the trendy, gimmicky feel of a Pink Berry. Con's: - They do not list their ingredients. Now I know they don't have to, but Pink Berry and Red Mango do, and as a customer I know I am very curious to know what goes in my food (especially since fro-yo has the reputation of having many "chemicals" in it). - Their fro-yo melts faster than any other fro-yo I've had. If the owners could improve this attribute in their product, I think they would top Red Mango and Pink Berry. However, as of now it only takes about 3-4 minutes for a large portion of the fro-yo to melt. - Some not so great flavors. They've had a few flavors over the past year (e.g., pineapple) that have been busts, but there are many more that have been great (e.g., lychee). - A bit too sweet. It seems like a lot of sugar goes into these things... In short, I highly recommend BerryLine - 4 stars!

    I was walking with a friend in Harvard Square in late spring after grabbing some Dunkins when we both noticed that everyone around us was eating frozen yogurt with some pretty awesome looking toppings. We continued walking when we spotted yet another person eating the same thing and I had to find out before I went nuts not knowing. She told us it was BerryLine and it was right around the corner. We quickly rushed to get some and I was pleased with the result. The place doesn't have many flavors but seems to make up for that with the amount of toppings. I ordered mango and pineapple on mine, and I was surprised by the freshness. For being such a small place, I think BerryLine does a very nice job, and if you're more into frozen yogurt you might want to try this place out. Otherwise, stick with ice cream and go to Herrell's or Lizzie's.

    As soon as i am done w/ my stuff at work, my friends bought me to berryline (Since I already had dinner at work)... I would say it's very good Yogurt, but I am a guy, I am not interested in Yogurts & I don't know enough about it. As a californian, I would say it's just as good as Yogurt I get from the "Golden State" if not better. Friday nites, tons of students and somehow, there was parking in the street! Some sitting area would be nice.

    R-E-A-L Yogurt, frozen. So, if you want sweet, tangy, frozen yogurt topped with super fresh fruit (watch them slicing it right there behind the counter) and don't want to intake a lot of calories or fat, this is the place to go. I have had the regular flavor twice now. Once topped with delicious, in season strawberries and raspberries. Another time I had my new fave- just pineapple. Yummy fresh sweetness. I have not tried the Fruity Pebbles, peanut butter chips, or other non-fruit toppings due to my anti- corn syrup kick, but these options are available. Like other reviewers have pointed out, they also create rotating flavors. Last time I was in they had green tea, but I did not try it. My small topped with super fresh, sweet pineapple ran about $3 and change. They also offer a punch card for you frequent yogurteers out there. Go grab yourself a sizable yogurt with one or more topping for under $5 and head outside to stroll around Harvard Square.

  • Jon L.

    Great fresh toppings, the frozen yoghurt is creamy and tart and tastes exactly like frozen yoghurt should, its not trying to be something it isn't. I love how they keep the toppings super fresh and simple, not complicating the yoghurt. Lines are long and the yoghurts is really good, but not sure if it's worth a 15 minute wait in a line.

    Good stuff! The best frozen yoghurt place in Cambridge! I live right around the corner and go to BerryLine at least twice a week. I love their changing taste offerings and the fruit toppings are fresh, fruity, and just right. And the young folks behind the bar are extremely friendly. Just the very berry long lines on sunny days are somewhat disturbing - but I see it rather as a sign of appreciation for their great frozen yoghurt taste.

  • Cee L.

    I went back to BerryLine to give it a second try...and again I was sorely disappointed. The mochi was still stale however this time around they offered the option of sampling the mochi prior to the purchase. Is it that hard to have chewy delicious mochi that doesn't taste stale? Evidently. That being said - I like how they offered a pint of froyo now - although it is pricey. Like the glutton I am I ordered the pint with strawberries and mochi (stale) - worst idea ever considering halfway through the pint (sharing with a friend) I felt like I wanted to hurl.

    oh my goodness! i dropped by here today for the first time whilst biking home from kendall on my new bicycle :D the two gorgeous gentlemen who worked here were so nice, and kindly explained stuff to me when i stepped in, looking very confused. i had the original flavour with fresh strawberry toppings, and it's light, fresh, and delicious. i'll definitely be frequenting here for study breaks!

    Am I the only one who doesn't get it? I think maybe my taste buds are not buds with BerryLine's offering. Friends brought over a couple of tubs for an apres-sushi snack and, while I'm normally a dessert lover, I could only eat a tiny taste of the sour stuff. Sorry for the negative review...I know you guys have lots and lots of fans...

    I didn't think BerryLine had enough reviews so I figured I should add one. First off..I'm not a fan of frozen treats at all. BUT I lovelovelove BerryLine. I love to mix different toppings into the original frozen yogurt, but my favorite is when they offer Fruity Pebbles. Who the eff doesn't want fruity pebbles in their frozen yogurt? Sure it makes me feel like a fat kid but who cares? It's freakin' tasty.

    A lot of frozen yogurt falls flat for me because it's really trying to be ice cream or gelato. Not here. Berryline embraces and draws out the natural yogurt flavor to make the best frozen yogurt I've ever tasted.

    Berryline!! There's nothing new I can add after 185 other reviews, but I will add that I heart Berryline. I looooooove ice cream, but it's an addiction that quickly spirals out of control if indulged too often. Which is where Berryline comes in. The yogurt is so low calorie that I can pretty much eat it whenever I want! Whoo hoo! I've never felt like I'm compromising quality and taste for the lack of calories though. The fruit toppings are amazingly fresh and I like to add Oreos to my strawberries for a special treat. Stop in this adorable store TODAY and celebrate the end of summer.

    Sometimes B wakes up, turns to me and says, "I want pinkberry." So, I roll over and... oh me. I realize that he is actually referring to the tangy, cool frozen yogurt product that we enjoyed in NYC. Low and behold, Yelp points me to Berryline and all is well. B rad and I hit up the cute little shoppe one fine evening and stood in the line (that went out the door) full of other peeps eager for a creamy probiotic confection. If you are not on your toes, the pressure can build when it is your turn to order and you haven't quite decided what to get. The toppings really need to be scoped out, unless you can read the sign up by the counter with the choices. Are you fruity or more of a candy ass? Tough call. How about a combo? I wanted kiwi and chocolate. No dice player! The young chapling at the counter said they were all out of choco-chips. THE HORROR!! All fruity for me then. I selected the original yogurt flavor with luscious kiwi and pineapple. I like my fruit like I like my teenage boys, fresh and ripe. Oh and it was! They had other yogurt flavors, blueberry and cranberry that evening. I was tempted by these choices, but the original tangy flavor compliments bold fruitiness so well. My B also chose original and selected reeses pieces and oreo. I was so proud. The small size was perfecto and two overflowing topping choices hit the spot for I didn't have any dinner that evening. 'Tis okay. If I don't have my required daily intake of sweetness...me go crazzzzzzzzy! The prices are cheaper than the Pinkberry and the quality to me was just as good. Berryline is BRADGET approved. teee heeee awww precious.

    To begin, I have been obsessed with Pinkberry ever since the first one opened in LA (I had it while visiting friends). Not only do these guys give a delicious array of yogurts flavors to choose from, but the selection of toppings is insane. Fortunately I am incredibly boring and usually go with the tried and true original + strawberries. Even in this, they make sure to pile the strawberries mile high and only count it as one topping. Always super friendly, it's a delight to visit this shop--and they have a loyalty card!

    i have been to my fair share of REAL frozen yogurt places. in chicago, new york and LA. Berry Line is the BEST because they don't just have standard regular yogurt or green tea flavors. Their rotating flavor selection is truly mind-blowing. blueberry and cranberry? WOW! i am amazed by this gem! i hope to go back many more times!!!

  • Elizabeth M.

    I. LOVE. BERRY LINE. I can't get enough. It's in a really cute neighborhood, the yogurt is FANTASTIC (i especially love mango, banana, and original!) and they have a LOT of toppings to choose from. Even though it is an hour trip from my house, I will forever visit them when I have time and need some yogurt in my life. Plus, it is 25 calories an ounce!

  • Lauren W.

    I have been trying to get to BerryLine ever since they opened, almost two years ago. My coworkers and I took a lunch break trip to BerryLine back in June and we have been addicted ever since! The first trip one of my colleagues helped herself to seconds because she loved the first one so much! Ever since that fateful day I get a medium instead of a small because it makes my belly very happy, I just "suffer" through the fullness. I love all of the toppings that they have! The fruit is so fresh and beautiful! You can't go wrong with one of their candies/cookies either. I recently had frozen yogurt at a new yogurt place in Boston, by MGH, and it was a poor attempt at the BerryLine original flavor. It appears that no one can match the natural, tart yogurt taste that BerryLine has achieved. I haven't been able to try one of their flavored yogurts yet, I enjoy the original too much to venture! I am typically an ice cream fanatic but I feel that my life is now complete thanks to BerryLine's healthy option over my ice cream. I'll give up the ice cream any day for this yogurt!

  • cassidy j.

    The frozen yogurt here is super tasty. I went there a few days ago and loved it. However, I can't give it a full five stars because I went for strawberry and kiwi topping and my chunks of kiwi CRUNCHED, like an apple, that is just not right. If kiwis weren't in season right now I might give them the benefit of the doubt, but they are totally in season. I'm still going back, but I'm just enjoying my super delicious tangy yogurt sans toppings next time.

    How good is Berryline? We eat it every single day. If it's cold out, if it's hot out, if it's raining, who cares--we make the 1 mile trek from the office to get our fix. So tangy, so delicious, super fresh toppings (lots of antioxidants)--nice people work there, happy people eat there.

    This is for the Porter Square location: Having been to several different West coast yogurt chains (Pinkberry, Yogurtland, Nubi, Tutti Melon, etc.) where there's fro yo on every street corner, I consider myself a yogurt snob. That being said, Berryline does a decent job of it. Probably one of the best fro yo places in the surrounding Boston area along with Yo Berry in Brighton. The texture is smooth and creamy, and it's got that nice tart flavor that all yogurt should have. Prices are ok for MA (fro yo will always be cheaper out in Cali) and the topping selection is good. It has all the different fruit toppings you need as well as a surprising variety of mochi toppings (plain, pineapple, and something else). One thing they do need to improve on is how they store their mochi. They leave it out in open containers when they should really be storing them in closed tupperware or something airtight. I don't blame them since the owners are probably not asian and don't know proper mochi care. Mochi should be soft and spongy like a marshmallow almost, not dry and chewy.

    again, i only leave reviews for bad experiences. let me say, I love froyo and the bitter taste. im a pinkberry fiend. i dont want to get into the details of what happened, but I had a VERY bad experience here with a douchebag worker. most of the workers are pretty nice, but i seemed to get that one guy that had a serious attitude problem. My experience caused a scene a while back... i sent an email... no response back. im not gonna lie - the froyo tastes pretty good. But dont EVER get the mochi haha. I will never go back here. watch out for a thin douchebag looking guy. curlier blondish/brown hair. eyes are far apart on his face. he has an attitude.

    Berryline is awesome! My boyfriend is frustrated because after one encounter, I got hooked. He likes variety, I like sticking with what I know I love. I get original with raspberries and almonds. Amazing! Also, the service is very fast; before I've even paid, my order is ready. So, don't be afraid of the long lines! Several people's reviews have mentioned the lack of disclosure about the ingredients, which I must admit I find unfortunate. I consider myself fairly health conscious, and I like to have information about the food I choose to eat. I especially agree with Bridget who is concerned about food allergies. We all love this yogurt! I think it's fair to want to know what's in it. Ingredient list or not, I don't think I'll stop going. It's SO good - the perfect refreshing summer treat.

    A victory for Boston--a froyo place with the tart, light froyo you can find everywhere in NYC. BerryLine, as other reviewers have pointed out, have a huge variety of flavors and toppings. I ordered the coconut froyo with mango when I went for the first time, and the fruit was fresh and sweet, the ice cream rich-tasting. They have the nutrition info posted too, and I'd bet that this place does way less waistline damage than the ice cream over at JP Licks. Cute decor and location too!

    I have to say I was a bit skeptical, as I often am with "trendy" foods and fashion, but I tried BerryLine and really loved it. The flavor and texture are amazing, and completely unlike the icky-sweet faux ice cream concoction that most frozen yogurt ends up as (memories of Penguins dance in my mind). I had the original flavor with berries on top, and felt like I could have eaten another whole serving. It was that good. The staff were also friendly and smiley, and the place was packed with Harvard kids getting their fix on a Tuesday night. The line moved quickly, though, as they seem overstaffed with an assembly-line crew. Go get some!

    BerryLine is SOLID. Fairly hip and fairly urban, but with really good frozen yogurt. I've been about three times now and my favorite is the banana yogurt with kiwi and strawberries on top. I also enjoy the artwork on the walls and painted outside, but the absolute coolest thing about this place is that it's on Arrow Street. Which intersects Bow Street. As in, Bow and Arrow Streets. . . And, well, the frozen yogurt's FANTASTIC, too.

It seems like other places try to make yogurt taste like ice cream. If you like Erivan Yogurt (I buy it at WFs) then this is the ONLY frozen yogurt you'll ever want to have again. This place is wonderful. I love it.

    My favorite negative review: "Personally, I don't like my yogurt sour." Tangy, dude... Fortunately for many of us who actually enjoy Real Yogurt, Berryline packs its frozen yogurt with creamy, tangy, yogurty flavor. The blended flavors are also subtle and good, especially the tropical ones. The fruit is always fresh (though the mango usually slightly underripe...pet peeve) and the other toppings numerous. Don't pass it up. It's the cleanest, freshest, and tastiest dessert you could treat yourself to.

  • K B.

    I absolutely love this place and go there as often as I can. The yogurt is yummy, AND fat free, and there's no artificial stuff to mess it up. I love the fresh fruit topping options while they are in season... yummy, and also guilt free. The ONE thing I don't like is that they don't have sprinkles/jimmies like all self respecting frozen treat establishments. Sprinkles aren't just for ice cream. When Berry line has yummy flavors like peanut butter or Oreo, I want sprinkles, not fruit or real chocolate because real chocolate is NOT guilt free and sprinkles are-- I'm pretty sure they are fat free and have a great texture. GET SPRINKLES!!!! They you will have my unconditional love and save me a trip to Shaw's to buy some to put on myself. I think yummy is my new favorite word... but I really do love this stuff. It's delicious even without sprinkles.

    The froyo at BerryLine is awesome. I had tried pinkberry once before, and didn't like it at all. I gave BerryLine a try on the insistence of a friend and it totally changed my attitude towards this type of froyo. I tried the banana flavor, with strawberries, pineapple, and mochi and it was to die for. The long long line outside of the store was kind of intimidating, but the yogurt is well worth the wait.

  • Jennifer W.

    Some of the best fro yo I've had and I've had a lot! I would probably rank it just behind Pinkberry. I've been here a lot when I've visited Boston and it is very very delicious. The froyo is just the right consistency and is neither too icy or creamy. Their toppings are all relatively fresh. Can't wait to go back to Boston for more Berryline!

    2nd time around...I still am not a fan of this place unfortunately. Their non-regular flavors are too sweet and exotic/creative. I need my simple fruit-based froyo that I can get at Pinkberry or Red Mango. Sorry, Berryline. I like the home-y, wholesome vibe of the place though!

    We thought frozen yogurt was just all right until we tried Berry Line. With it's rotating list of original flavors (lavender honey, raspberry fudge, and Taza chocolate) and it's homemade toppings (cheesecake and brownie bites), we are never disappointed by the warm and cozy frozen yogurt shop.

    I had this ongoing froyo craze for the past many years. I'd get froyo at least once a week (usually 3x), unless I'm traveling abroad. So believe me when I say, this is THE best froyo in all my experiences froyo hunting in Boston/Cambridge/suburbs! If you are in Harvard square, stop by and get a micro, or just sample a flavor. You won't be disappointed. If you don't like their available flavors, or want to exercise the small amount of calories you just consumed, walk up to their Porter Square location for more varieties. Both locations are awesome, and the two have different flavors, so if you are not satisfied, or just want more, go for it! The best part is, they have homemade cake toppings. My favorite so far is the cheesecake bites. Cheesecake with coconut flakes + froyo...how can anyone resist?!?!

    I don't know what happened, but their mochi quality has dropped drastically, which was their biggest selling point for me. The first time, delicious, fresh, chewy mochi that felt like solid clouds. The second time, it was much harder, and tasted like it had been out for a couple of days, a huge cry from what I had come to expect. I held off on an update, as I figured it may have just been a bad batch, but a third time and the same problem occurred. As such, BerryLine will lose a star as I'll have to find a new mochi froyo spot to satisfy my craves. The froyo at least was consistently good the other times, and the service too, so still a decent hipster froyo place in my books.

    (3)

  • Jeffrey Y.

    This is a great yogurt shop that I love to whole heartedly support. Always a good mix of flavors between tart, non-fruit (ex: salted carmel toffee). Sure there's pink berry down the street but I'd much rather support the local option. There's also a variety of flavors with friendly staff to let you taste test as many flavors as you'd like. Word is their mochi and granola is home made. My only complaint is sometimes their yogurt is on the soft side whereas I prefer really firm yogurt.

    BerryLine has a great plain tart flavor! That is my go to at any non-self serve yogurt place. I usually go for Pink Berry because there's more of them around me and I was really sad when the Berry Line closed on Newbury right when I moved here! Lucky for me, I rekindled the Berryline fire this past week and remembered how delicious the plain tart is. (I hope all is forgiven.. and you'll take me back) I also like that the shop also has a local feel with written menus and the little nook it occupies on a small street. I usually get fruit toppings on plain tart- strawberries and blackberries are my favorite. Their fruit is pretty fresh. But they also have different kinds of chocolate, brownies, granola, mochi, etc. 1 topping is one price, and multi toppings are another price. I don't like loading mine up, so I think one topping is sufficient. They also have a stamp card, so take advantage!

  • Denise A.

    This is hands-down my favorite fro-yo place in town. The basic flavor is just tart enough without being too sweet or too sour. The place is adorable, a little nook on arrow street just behind Zenniken's. There's a bit of space for people to sit down inside but if you're lucky and it's a beautiful day out there are a few steps around where you can sit and enjoy your fro-yo. BerryLine just hits it out of the park with everything. Their basic flavor is fantastic but they also have rotating and seasonal flavors for you to try out. Different berryline locations sometimes have different flavors so you could shop around too. I tried their vanilla cardamom yesterday which was fantastic. Their toppings are also where they shine. They have a vast array of toppings including locally made mochi, brownies, and cheesecake toppings. Their fruits are always fresh and in fact there was a point in my life when berryline supplied the main source of vitamin c in my life. There's a set price for fro-yo, fro-yo+1 topping, and fro-yo + multiple toppings. Honestly, if you're looking for a froyo fix (or any cold dessert craving) in Harvard Square, skip the froyo chains and come here for a truly local and tasty experience.

    One of the very few frozen yougurt places where its not so flavored (sugared) where you still get the "tang" of the yougrt. I love it so much I get the x-large pint and keep it in my freezer.

    I am not a big fan of frozen yogurt and I never understood why people are so crazy about it... Until I tried this place. Unlike most frozen yogurt places, BerryLine uses fresh fruits. Also, their frozen yogurt is neither too sweet, nor too sour. It is very nice and refreshing. They are pretty generous with toppings, too.

    Back during my sophomore year in college, I was enrolled in a class that I didn't need and i really wasn't feeling. We had a take-home midterm and as i was going through the $100 book I just bought for the class (which i returned the next day) to answer the first question, I decided this wasn't going to happen. This class was being dropped and I was going to BerryLine, sonnnnnn. Went down exactly like that. This was a time before BerryLine had any other locations (though now they're just down to Harvard and Porter (I think?) so I guess the situation is the same more or less) so my roommates and I dragged our asses to Harvard Square from Northeastern, waiting for the 1 in the freezing cold, grabbing our BerryLine, and then sprinting back to the bus in order to get the "transfer". It was all worth it for that B-Line. The yogurt is nice and tart. Some of the flavored yogurts are fantastic (Nutella, apple cinnamon), in others, the flavor is barely perceptible. The original is always good though and the toppings are fresh. The pricing is fair and I find the micro and small sizes with a topping or two to be satisfying. I don't go to BerryLine as often as I did in college, when making a quick run to Harvard Sq just for B-Line ALWAYS in the freezing cold, never in the warmer months, was a ritual for us, but when I do now I'm never disappointed.

    I'm not one of those people that goes nuts for ice cream, that wants to go get ice cream all of the time, that buys a pint of ice cream and eats it in one sitting. In fact, I don't really like ice cream. And I don't particularly like yogurt. So I don't understand why I am CRAZY about BerryLine and want it all the time. But I do.

    Berryline is the best. The flavors, the toppings, the kooky yogurt-servers, the art...but honest, their yogurt is the best. I would eat it every day if I could.

    I received a very nice note from one of the owners after posting my review. Knowing that the proprietors care about their customers' experience and opinions enough to (1) keep track and (2) try to make amends for a bad experience is heartwarming. I'm much more likely to give BerryLine another try now.

    There is something absolutely magical about this place - it's not identical to pinkberry, red mango or your neighborhood golosi (hello new york!). Whereas the latter may taste and look like processed frozen yogurt, Berrylane throws in a kick of homemade goodness. Creamy, chunky but still light, just the right amount of tart in each flavor. They offer 3 different flavors (original (fave), coconut, blueberry) in size small, medium and large. With an order of a medium size twist (blueberry and original) and strawberry toppings, it can run you $5.00 and is good enough to share between 2 people on a cool day. Opt for a large during the summer time. The line gets long and can easily extend halfway down the block but it moves quickly and is very much worth the wait.

  • Will N.

    A great place to cool off during the hot summer months. Fat free frozen yogurt with fruit is a great healthy alternative to ice cream and cake. However, a $5 small desert is a bit shocking to me along with the lack of parking doesn't appeal to my taste. But the appeal is there and so are the lines so come early!!!!

    The other night I was listening to Bob Seger and smoking a gigantic bong. I was like, "I just want to feel like Seger does when he rides his motorcycle" So I did the the less cool version of it and rode my Vespa down the street to Berry Line, ordered a pint of FACEMELTING YOGURTS and then rode back home while listening to Bob Seger and thinking of movies to watch while I pounded Berry Line that I just got. Then I was like "Home Alone!" but I figured that's really a seasonal movie and I should watch something funny like Waynes' World. So I put on Wayne's World when I got home and ate a half a pint of Berry Line. It made my face melt off because it was so awesome. I want to eat it, like all of the time.

    I absolutely love the remote back-street alley way location of a yogurt shop. It's an adorable place and even though it is not self-serve, they are generous on their toppings. Since this is the only frozen yogurt place I've tried in Boston, I cannot give much critique, but it is definitely one of the better places I've tried on the east coast. For some reason, I remember their frozen yogurt having a creamy texture of ice cream (I'm not sure if it's a good thing?)

    This little frozen yogurt place has stolen my heart away from another certain froyo place that ends in -berry. Their rose frozen yogurt topped with fresh pineapple chunks & little pieces of mochi is amazingly, simply delicious -- best ever.

  • Chloe C.

    I'm not sure how I survived before finding BerryLine. After spending a few weeks at Harvard without frozen yogurt, I was so excited when I heard there was a store on campus from a friend. I immediately went to try it out, and I was pleasantly surprised! BerryLine has a unique feel - it definetly stands out from typical fro-yo joints. I liked the variety of flavors including rose, cranberry, and honey graham. The toppings were also plentiful and the fruit was very fresh. I'm so happy that I found this place!

  • Ellen L.

    went here on a weekday at 6pm and found the place packed! (that's always a good sign that a place is good) I jumped in line and asked for a sample of lychee froyo and they promptly offered a little sample of it. I wasn't a giant fan and decided to go with the original. Both were quite good, but lychee just wasn't for me. Anyways, I was a little disappointed when I asked for raspberries and mangoes and I was told they were out of raspberries.... i decided to go with blackberries instead. The fruits were both sweet and complementary to the froyo. four stars and a big thumbs up.

  • Arestia R.

    It comes DAMN close to my beloved Pinkberry in LA. But SSHHHHH. Don't tell anyone, but it's not actually frozen yogurt - not a culture in sight, baby. Still, I love this frozen treat because the tangy, satisfying treat mixed with fresh fruit or other wonderful toppings leaves me completely satisfied and wanting more all in one fell swoop. And the staff is just plain rad. They're hip and cool and don't take themselves too seriously. Such a great little Boston addition.

    Delicious yogurt, with quite a variety of toppings I actually thought it tasted creamier than Pinkberry's yogurt, I'll definitely be going back!

    Sometimes when it's like 50 degrees out, you've just finished brunch with good friends and some of you are WEARING FLIPFLOPS IN JANUARY (??!!), it's good to walk to Harvard Square and visit BerryLine. First, Annie wanted us to go to choir practice, it's Sunday, isn't that what people do on Sundays? Noooooo! RunRunRunRun! Enters Berryline. Familiar artwork, same person who has work hanging at MilkyWay. Hmmmm. Interesting. Cute, colorful, well matched to the decorum and theme of the dairy bar. It took me a couple minutes to get down the process for ordering. I was sort of expecting a ritual similar to columbo, whereas I should've been considering picking one of the basic flavor options: oreo, blueberry, cappucino, and vanilla and figuring out what to put in it. I wound up doing the obvious, blueberry froyo with fresh strawberries and blueberries. None of the syrup-py crap in here! Joke had a smoothie (enhanced with vitamins, cuz she's a growing girl!), Annie had something with fruity pebbles and pineapple (random, but great!), Damon had a hot cider (not sure what the taste test proved), and Chris had oreo fro yo with kiwi and something else, which was also pretty damn good. A small with two toppings, rounded me out to around something like $4.09, and for the amount you get, it wasn't bad. I want to say that it was a 5oz cup. While the frozen yogurt was great, I'll mostly remember BerryLine for something I said to a fellow patron. Girl: Wow I love your sneakers, where did you get them. Me: Mahshalls. BUTTHEYDONTHAVENANYMORE! ! ! !

    so I'm sold on this place now ... addicted to their strawberry froyo and fresh berries ... and they let their staff take tips ... unlike freakin' overhyped Pinkberry a few blocks away ... so until the Pinkberry drones rise up and demand better pay and working conditions, BerryLine deserves people's support on quality and ethical grounds ...

    I just visited this place yesterday. It is a very friendly place, almost felt like a student run organization. maybe it's becaues ppl who work there look like students?? The blue berry frozen yogurt was delicious. The coconut .... not ... I think they should call it sweer cream coz there is no coconut flavour. That said they do have AMAZING toppings, FRESH FRUIT toppings. Their blue berry topping is REALY BLUE BERRY not those from shaws they look like those HUGE ORGANIC blueberry from Wholefood!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, yum yum very healthy! Portion is big and not expensive. Will go back when i am dying for healthy dessert~

  • Stephanie F.

    This place is defnitely Pinkberry-esque, or is at least following the healthy frozen yogurt trend. I haven't had anything but the original flavor, and I always get fresh fruit topping -- either strawberry or mango topping. The other flavors are so-so. I asked if they had mochi topping, but they said that only comes out in the summer. Which is weird because another froyo place near my parents' home back in NJ said they don't have mochi until summer. However - Pinkberry in NYC has mochi all year round. Makes me think that they're monopolizing the mochi topping market? Who knows. This place is a good alternative if you want something "healthier" than the Ben and Jerry's around the corner...

    I used to have a "guy's guy" type contempt for eating fro-yo, but this changed after spending last summer in LA, our country's capital and perhaps birthplace for fro-yo. I returned from my summer with a lingering craving for the stuff, and soon after discovered BerryLine. Way too often do I make the long trek from Coolidge Corner to Harvard Square for a small but delicious cup of fro-yo at BerryLine. Please open a location down here! I have no doubt it would be a huge success.

  • Brian Z.

    This is the only place that was able to make me love frozen yogurt. Berryline is great and apparently everyone agrees since it is a small shack packed with people most of the time. The ingredients are fresh and the staff is beyond nice even when they have a million customers to deal with. The staff remembers casual faces despite having a million customers. The flavors are always great and changing. Definitely an awesome place because it taste better than most ice creams.

    I'm from NY, so I have ungodly Pinkberry frozen yogurt cravings when I'm in Boston for school. Berryline satisfies me whenever those cravings hit. I'd say they're more generous with toppings and servings at Berryline. The line is long but moves quickly.

  • Keri B.

    This is the only frozen yogurt I've ever had that actually tastes like yogurt. It has that fresh tanginess that real yogurt has, and it's not super sugary sweet like ice cream. The fruit toppings are fresh instead of canned. You can actually eat this dessert and feel like you ate health food. Totally awesome!

    Delightful. And the best part is, if you don't eat refined sugar, you ought to know that all of their frozen yogurts are made with cane juice!!! :-D

    First of all, I can't believe that Berryline got such outstanding reviews. But then again, Boston and particularly Cambridge doesn't understand good food, and I don't know why. The reason I don't like Berryline is for the same reason that I do not like fusion food restaurants. When trying to cater to everyone's taste, the result is almost never good. I am a multi-generational Bostonian with a sweet tooth from a long line of sweet-toothed Bostonians, so I know my frozen treats. I know that the owners made the yogurt a little creamier to cater to New Englander's tastes. First of all, if I wanted a New England style creamy dessert, I would go to my nearest ice-cream shop. As a new convert to the whole Korean sour-yoghurt craze, it ruins the experience when people cater to what I think I want. What I really want is to experience something new, exciting, something out of the ordinary. Secondly, there is a very unpleasant after-taste with this yogurt that I have not experienced with other pinkberry knock-offs. This isn't an ewww, I cant-believe-that-I'm-eating-sour-yogurt unpleasantness. I like the sourness of the Korean/Californian/throwback to how all American froyo tasted the seventies. No, unfortunately it is more of an overly-familiar citric acidity that seems to be present in almost all of the American food industry's products these days. This is an I'm-catering-to-what-think-Americans-want type of unpleasantness. I HATE the American food industry puts citric acid in everything to give it more "taste" that goes the same for other cheap fillers and food enhancers such as raisins, peanuts, bananas, pepper, and msg. Just because our food is filled with these cheap and over produced fillers doesn't necessarily mean we want more of them. Do you think, maybe, we would want something, I don't know....different from what we have day after day? That's why I try to expand my horizons and eat a lot non-American foods when I can. I want to get away from those things. That's why I was so happy when some friends introduced me to this Korean by why of California tasty goodness. If that's what you are expecting from Berryline, I would stay away and go to almost any other Korean froyo place in the area. I had the original twice. They both had that same nasty after taste, kind of what I imagine what Lemon Pledge would taste like. I hoped it would be different the second time around. I had the mochi topping. I was excited when I called and they said that it was in stock, since the previous reviews mentioned that they don't carry it very often. It turns out that they used pre-packaged mochi, instead of the freshly made stuff that usually is available at other places. The result was an odd, stale, chewy texture instead of the melt-in-your-mouth texture of the freshly made version. I'm sorry if the owners are upset by my review. It is just my honest opinion and no one else in the world my even agree with me. I may be a lone voice in the universe, but honestly think that they could do better. There is definitely something wrong with the food in Boston. Bostonians tend to accept sub-standard food, which is maddening and frustrating since then that's all that becomes available.

    Every time I go here I end up walking through the rain. Is it worth it? You're darn tootin.' This is some pretty stellar frozen yogurt. I go with strawberries and chocolate chips topped on the original flavor.

  • John F.

    Now, call me crazy, but I'm generally not much for yogurt, frozen or not. I don't know what it is, but it's usually not my bag. THAT SAID BerryLine is delicious. I love the selection of toppings, and the very generous portions of both yogurt and topping. I had their "special" yogurt at the time- Oreo, yum!- and it was fabulous, especially after I had some white chocolate chips in there. The price was totally reasonable, and I would go back again in a heartbeat! Definitely recommended!

  • Ani G.

    This new-wave froyo craze (don't ya'll remember how huge TCBY and others were back in the late 80s? No? Just me? Okay then.) comes with less sugar and more fruit (fresh fruit! Who doesn't want fresh fruit in the winter in Boston?). It makes you feel less guilty about busting your diet than JP Licks around the corner. While I would assume that anyone wanting to open up yet another ice cream store in a place where we have 7 months of winter and also has a million other ice cream stores is off their rocker, these guys did go to MIT, and they have almost 200 4-and-5 star reviews on yelp, so they must be crazy like foxes.

    A delicious treat, could have used some Hershey's syrup. Small shop - maybe 10 seats total. The shop was busy but the wait wasn't too bad. I would stop by again if I'm in the area, but wouldn't make a special trip.

  • Dessa R.

    I have been craving frozen yogurt for weeks. I think it must have something to do with the Yelp email that went out, a compilation of all the noteworthy fro-yo places in the area. I tried explaining my craving to my Danish roommate, who wanted to know the difference between fro yo and soft serve ice cream. Although it was difficult to articulate, I eventually felt satisfied in explaining that the differences lie in the overall texture, and more importantly, the tangy aftertaste. Ok. Now I REALLY wanted yogurt. So I dragged my friend Ed to Harvard to investigate this Berryline, of which all my fellow yelpers sing high praise. We were not disappointed. I had an originial with graham cracker crumbs, he had a raspberry with strawberry slices. Both were really really good, and much lighter than a traditional ice cream. And open till 11? Pretty cool. I can tell this is going to be a regular stop for me this summer.

  • Amanda B.

    They have great yogurt (real frozen yogurt, not the ice cream tasting stuff) with a fun rotation of flavors, but they always keep the option of original yogurt. On top of that they have tons of toppings for any mood you're in - fresh fruit for when you want to be healthy, and candy for when you have a sweet tooth; and they're not shy with the toppings! The staff is always helpful and friendly, and they never hesitate to let you sample the flavors of yogurt. The line is usually long, but in my experience it moves really quickly.

    Boston/Cambridge's answer to Pinkberry. Exactly the same as Pinkberry, at about half the price! Perfect for those who like a low-fat frozen yogurt with healthy topping choices (fruit!)

    This review is a bit winded for a froyo place, but bear with me because I hope I can teach you a thing or two... On my travels through India, I hopped aboard a train headed to a remote spot and was subjected to Indian train food. Prejudice would have you believe that anything served on mass transit is going to be nasty, let alone on a train leaving Calcutta.. But the interesting thing about most Asian countries is that labor is ultra cheap, to the point where having a fully staffed kitchen to prepare food is cheaper than mass producing it and freezing it for later, since energy costs are more significant than labor. The end result: Mass transit food in India is fresh! My meal was completely inconspicuous save for this little, red, foil-wrapped, clay pot, which as it turns out, housed the FRESHEST goddamn yogurt I've ever tasted. It tasted sweet without having any added sugar and the texture was incredibly smooth, not gelatinous like store bought, processed yogurt. I don't even like yogurt, and was convinced I was eating something else entirely. I stole my little brother's clay pot while he was napping! And that's what the original BerryLine yogurt kinda reminds me of, though not quite as good. The added fruit toppings are delicious though and help make up for it.

    Berryline is a great new frozen yogurt/coffee place in Harvard Square. The frozen yogurt is there is AMAZING. It actually tastes the way frozen yogurt is supposed to taste, it's not the super sugary garbage that most places have. Plus, you can get all sorts of great and healthy (or not) toppings, like freshly cut fruit (not canned!) or fruity pebbles. They also have great tea, the mighty leaf. I tried the rainforest mate tea, and it was really good. Plus all the people there are super nice. And the prices are totally reasonable. Check this place out, you won't regret it.

    after seeing the many delightful reviews, i was dying for an excuse to go to harvard square and have some froyo. oh my god, this is some freaking excellent frozen yogurt. the original is like a sweetened frozen version of the fage total that i eat everyday without fail for breakfast...and sometimes lunch and dinner. i tried the original and the mango and decided that the original was way too delicious and creamy to pass up. even with the addition of some perfect strawberries and kiwi, a small was less than $4... and this was no teeny tiny small. in fact, it was really substantial. that didn't stop me from wanting to turn around and go get another one the second i was done. i have to second whoever suggested that they do pints here. i would love to be able to bring this stuff home!

  • Gracie B.

    There were really only 2 things that I didn't like about BerryLine. 1) The menu was posted on the wall right next to the counter where you order and if you walk in and there is a long line (which there was, and that's a good sign) you can't spend your time waiting in line looking at the menu. You only see the menu when you're just about at the counter. I know! I know! This seems like such a silly complaint. But I pay a lot of attention to the little details that I believe a business should be thinking about if they truly want the customer to have a completely good experience. (And why should any business not want that?) I just think they should post a large menu above the counter where everyone waiting in line can see it. And 2 - the chocolate chip topping should be a little better than Hershey's chips. Don'tcha think? Is it just me. It's not that I mind them, but I think a darker chocolate, or shavings would be a little nicer. OK Now that I've said that. Everything else about Berryline was super good in my opinion. I got a small "original" flavor Fro Yo. I had to ask what original meant. When I did, I instantly got a sample. Nice. Original is basically just plain yogurt. I added blackberries and chocolate chips. Very happy with portion size. The yogurt tasted really yummy, not too overly sugared up.. The berries were fresh, plump, and juicy. There really is nothing bad to say about this lovely little $4.50 treat. I believe it was worth the price too. There are a million different combos to try with the various yogurt flavors (limited, but quality choices) and the cool assortment of toppings - lot's O' candy and fruit and crunchy looking cereal type toppings. I'll definitely go back.

  • Joanna C.

    I recently visited the much touted establishment again. Initially disappointed, I wasn't so keen on coming back. But there was a sale on couches at the furniture store down the street and I thought "hey, why not? I'll just swing by". Plus, it was a cold day, and I love eating ice cream/frozen yogurt/smoothies on a cold day. But if it wasn't for the weather, I'd probably have just passed by. Anyway... This time I tried the Mango (eh) and the Banana (very good). The thing about the Banana was that it was done very nicely. Usually, any kind of tart fruit flavor can go very wrong, and especially banana. But the Banana here had the right amount of sweetness and tart mixed in. So, even though I had some hesitancy on trying it again, I was pleasantly surprised the second time. I'd describe BerryLine's yogurt to be very "medium" and "safe" in taste. The tartness is not overwhelming nor delightful, but a safe range that many would be able to like. It's also not too sweet, which helps enhance the fruit flavor. So, for anyone who has not tried tart frozen yogurt yet (really?), BerryLine provides a relatively risk-free introduction.

  • Sam D.

    Pretty great! Flavor is as good/creamy/filling and the fruit is as fresh as Pinkberry. Workers were nice, toppings were great. The only negative is that it's really crowded...all the time... so be ready for a few minute wait.

    This is my favorite 'frozen yogurt' place to get original tart! I love their frozen yogurt! So yummy! I brought my little sister and we both got their 12oz w/ a few different toppings and she loves it also! My boyfriend used to wonder why I like frozen yogurt so much, but I swear he couldn't stop hogging my yogurt! They have a great variety of toppings and prices arent too bad, it was about $5 /each. I think I'm addicted =X Usually I would prefer a self serve frozen yogurt place like MIXX, but seriously the original tart at Berryline is hands down, just like HEAVEN. I would know O:)

  • Tyler C.

    pretty good toppings. The yogurt just seems more like sorbet to me, but they have a lichee flavor which is decent. Comparable to Yo Berry in Super 88, but I think Yo Berry has a slight edge on the yogurt itself.

  • Allison B.

    the product? fantastic. the yogurt truly is delicious and really does taste like yogurt - but obviously you come here for the gloriously abundant array of toppings. fat delectable raspberries, cool chunks of mango, tangy kiwi, classic strawberry - and all the sweeties for you sugar tooth kids - oreos, toffee, pb cups, the works. the only downside? so super crowded (not their fault), but any environment like that is automatically going to add an element of stress and rushedness. not to mention the staff enhances it by yelling "people who know what they want, come to the front" despite the fact that you can't even see the menu/available toppings until you GET to the front. the bf placed the order, requesting a plain yogurt with strawberries and pb cups - which he referred to as "reese's." the order was misunderstood as reese's pieces, and when i heard him yell it to the guy making the order, i interjected, "no! not reese's pieces - peanut butter cups!" cut to the great reveal - we peeled off the lid to discover... peanut butter chips. AHH! at that point, dealing with the crowd and the hassle wasn't worth going back and complaining. and it was still good - but there's no way pb chips compare to pb cups - they just don't! that being said, the best thing to do here is to order some yogurts to go and smuggle 'em into the movie theater. mmmmMMMMMmmmmMMMM

  • T Y.

    An update: I had to downgrade this to 1 star, because I went in recently and ordered the yogurt with mochi, which was hard and inedible. When I brought it back they explained that it was a pricey topping, so they never sampled it--and what's more--they kept it in the fridge! Mochi, like boba, should never be refrigerated--it just gets hard. Needless to say I was disappointed in their staff's knowledge and the product.

    Before I go any further, I believe it is my responsibility to admit that I do not have the biggest sweet tooth. Normally, I don't have one, period. But regardless, Berryline is pretty radical. I went there with my lady-friend after Oktoberfest. I ordered Mango yogurt with fresh strawberries, said lady-friend ordered plain with strawberries and kiwi. The yogurt was pretty amazing, the fruit was fresh, and the company couldn't be beat. I would certainly go out of my way to make a second visit.

  • Ben C.

    Too sweet, in my opinion. Haha @ all the reviewers calling it tart or even 'too tart'. What, are you comparing it to? Ben & Jerry's? These people obviously aren't familiar with Pinkberry. However, BerryLine offers friendly service and a decent substitute that should get me through the summer ... until I can get me some true Crackberry!

    I could live off ice cream, but I feel really guilty for eating ice cream 24/7. Then I discovered BerryLine and it made my life complete. It is the perfect compromise. It is so yummy and I feel better about myself after eating it. I usually get a bunch of fruit on it too. It is so good. I have never been to other places like this, but the yogurt on its own is really good too. It is the perfect hot summer day snack.

    Delicious! I just discovered BerryLine a week ago and I've already been back twice and I'm planning another trip this afternoon. BL, where have you been all my life!?

    Great yogurt and topping combinations, but a bit expensive... following the Pinkberry model! It can get really crowded here, but when it's not, they offer free Wi-Fi, and it can be a good place to stop and do some email and web surfing.

    This place is sheer deliciousness. The frozen yogurt is absolutely terrific. Paired with fresh fruit, it is sublime. Definitely a nice treat. The only thing keeping Berryline from 5 stars is that it is a little pricey and occasionally has lines that are a bit long.

    I went here based on the reviews. This is the second frozen yogurt place I've been to, the first being in California. While the yogurt was good, I much prefer the one I went to in California because everything at the one in California was self-serve, with 10+ yogurt flavors to choose from and many more toppings than the one here in Harvard Square. However, since I am currently living in Boston, this will have to do.

    A bit expensive but delicious. Not too sweet just the way I like it and it tastes like actual yogurt....genius! The only cons are the price and the toppings...the fruit is fantastic but the chocolate toppings are blah. I'm not crazy about snickers and toffee, it's be great to see some dark chocolate fudge or dark chocolate chips. I still love it though, go about once a week.

  • Amanda D.

    Though I have coworkers that rave about this place and the concept is great, I just didn't like the flavor of the "pure" yogurt....doesn't make it a bad place, just didn't suit my taste. Their fruit was fresh and did make the taste of the yogurt better :)

  • Stacey H.

    amazing. that is all. also, don't be freaked out by the line out the door when you first arrive. There isn't much room inside, so the line seems long but actually isn't, and they're very efficient.

    It's kind of far from the general Harvard Square vicinity but this place is exactly like Pink Berry except it had daily different flavors from raspberry to oreo to apple. However, to me, they all taste the same as the original with a bit of the flavor's after-taste. The toppings are great ranging from fruity pebbles to fresh fruit to graham crackers, etc. I wish they had mochi though... for all the newbies, this frozen yogurt isn't like the traditional vanilla/chocolate frozen yogurt we're used to. it literally tastes like frozen. yogurt. like the danon/yoplait kind. tangy,sour-ish. a small serving is about 100 calories and you can top it with fresh fruit or other eccentric ice-cream toppings like graham crackers and oreo bits. compared to yo-berry, this place is sooo much cheaper. yo-berry is insane as a frozen yogurt can cost up to 7 dollars easily. ridiculous. anyway, it's a small joint and can get crowded easily. there are about 10 seats in the place...so it's not great on bad weather days as you most likely have to go outside or take it to go.

    Berry Line froyos = addictive! Mochi topping is perfect pair to go with the froyos. The online thing is that the mochi toppings are seldom stale, you might want to ask them regarding to the mochi quality. Overall, love the Harvard Square and Porter Square location. Once you go froyos, you'd ever go back!

  • Scott M.

    The yogurt is great (I always get "original"... I know, call me old school) and the people are friendly. Yes, friendly! I asked them once why they are so warm and welcoming when there are so many other shopkeepers in the area who won't give me the time of day. Oh, it's because they're from California! Sweet.

  • Marco V.

    The lines are a killer. So trendy right now. (Found one further up mass ave that doesn't have lines). The yo is more flavorful than I was expecting. Not inedible for healthy food. Not ice cream though. Pretty delicious and light.

  • Erik S.

    Seriously tasty frozen yoghurt that actually tastes exactly like yoghurt that's frozen. The plain had a slight lemony taste to it that was wonderful. I had plain with Mochi and Blueberries. The mochi was great. I wasn't a fan of how the blueberries tasted with the mix, but that's no fault of BerryLine. Anyway, great stuff.

    Recently had the grapefruit yogurt with blueberries and mangoes. I LOVED IT! Also got a chance to try the oreo yogurt and didn't like that one so much. So they basically have options to suit everyone's needs.

  • Jessica E.

    Heaven in a cup. Friendly staff! Ridiculous topping options. Not your typical froyo- tarter and more yogurty. Great! And shares the same building as a creperie=!!!!! YESSS!!!!

  • Abigail D.

    A little pricey, but so are all of the boutique yogurt/ice cream joints. I do enjoy that I can eat a delicious bowl of sugar and peanut butter chips and strawberries and still feel virtuous. It's also delicious.

  • T K.

    Honestly, at first I didn't care for Berryline. My co-workers introduced me to it one day and I was like...this is the big thing you guys kept raving about...It wasn't anything special to me. As time went by I started to crave BerryLine more and more and I finally started to see why people was so addicted to it. It's very refreshing and I love fresh fruits so putting it on top of my yogurt is a plus. I was never really a yogurt person but it's only 40 calories! Who can beat that? Good bye ice cream and hello BerryLine.

  • Christina B.

    It's hard not to love BerryLine, succulent frozen yogurt and generous portions of perfect blackberries, blueberries, mangos and kiwis. But I felt a little strange walking in and seeing how eerily similar it is to NYC's PinkBerry pinkberry.com and Red Mango redmangousa.com . Only that, those locales are also include mochi in their topping repertoire. Maybe BerryLine could continue the impersonation a little further and also mochi...?

  • Grace W.

    I have been to Berryline twice. Each time the fruit was fresh and the staff was very pleasant. The place was crowded so if you don't know what you want it its probably not a good idea to stand in line until you have made up your mind. I like the flavor of the tangy yogurt. The only other time I have had something this tasty was at Bloomingdales in New York. They sell a similar product, Frogurt, which has a slightly tangy flavor. The only complaint with Berryline is the yogurt is a little watery. I prefer a creamier consistency like Frogurt.

  • G N.

    Amazeballs. So good and you don't feel gross after. My favorite is original with rasberries, mango and coconut. I want to get some right now!

    (5)

  • vadit s.

    I would rate this as a 3.5. My girlfriend is obsessed with frozen yogurt so I took here there, but she still claims pinkberry is much better. According to her the yogurt at berryline is not as good, and they did not have mochi balls when we went. Apparently they only have mochi balls every now and then. We got banana yogurt with coconut and strawberry and original yogurt with mango and blackberry. They have a lot of topping selections otherwise, and the fruit is fresh. The price is comparable to pinkberry.

    (4)

  • Katie N.

    Oh, I heart it. Very flavorful, low-fat frozen yogurt. Think -- no frozen yogurt you've ever had before. They have a great selection of REALLY fresh fruit and candies, chocolate, etc. to accompany one of usually three types of yogurt. It's in a convenient, yet slightly tucked away part of Harvard sq. Go before it gets too cold!

  • sato h.

    i've had better ones. went there twice, the very first visit was not so great since the staff was rude and impatient. today we went for the second time, the girls were friendly and let us try different flavors. so the overall experience was better. i think it's a good place to go if you are craving for frozen yogurt in boston.

    (3)

  • Frank N.

    Overall, good stuff. The interior kinda takes the typical JP licks lick atmosphere...somewhat college-like. Anyways, I got a small with mango, blueberries and MOCHI. I had some pinkberry when I was in LA, and their mochi was much better Berryline's mochi was kinda hard, while I remembered Pinkberry's to be nice and soft and definitely the best topping. Minus one star for the mochi, but otherwise a solid place. I'll probably try it again in hopes that the mochi improves, or maybe I hit a bad mochi-day. Definitely the best out of yo berry and berryline though.

    After reading all these raving reviews, I've been meaning to check out BerryLine for ages now. I admit to having been a little afraid to almost, since it's a fairly short walk from my apartment, and a fro yo addiction on top of my other food cravings seems dangerous. But it was a warm spring day, the kind when you're meant to have a cup of something frozen in hand as you stroll through the Square, and so I figured this would be my chance to taste the deliciousness. And you know, I don't get it. I mean, it was tasty, it certainly wasn't bad. I appreciate the tang, though it reminded me more of citrus, almost lemony, than the richer tang I associate with plain yogurt. Also, I was expecting a rather intense yogurt flavor from the reviews, and in reality, found it fairly mild and the texture thin. The fresh fruit is good, sure, but it's, well, fruit, nothing unique or hard to come by. And they offer unremarkable chocolate chips that don't particularly work, texturally, with a frozen dessert. I'm thinking I could do fruit with yogurt at home, enjoy it as much if not more, and it would be less than $5 (for a generous sized "small"). So while I ate mine, and it was good enough I suppose, at the end, I couldn't really see myself going back again for more, though sure, I'd eat one if you bought it for it me. That's ok, though. My wallet and waistline are safe from developing another habit.

  • Cal F.

    I tried this place for the first time last night. Even though I had heard great things, I am an ice cream and fro-yo lover and was worried the yogurt tang wouldn't be sweet enough. I was so wrong! I tried the original and the peach-both amazing but I liked the original best. I got rasberries and white chocolate chips and loved every bite. I spent the rest of the evening coming up with new combinations of toppings. I made sure to ask for a stamp card while I was there since I think it's safe to say I will be coming back here. Also, glad to know there is no HFCS in it.

  • Elena B.

    After going to California, frozen yogurt in the Boston area has never been able to satisfy me. I always get the original, no matter where I go. The frozen yogurt here is probably the best I'll be able to find in the area. But the mochi totally didn't work for me. It just didn't have the sticky soft texture that real mochi should have. Other than that, BerryLine is pretty good. It isn't too pricy either.

    (3)

  • Taylor O.

    Berryline started out great. Lots of interesting flavors, good service, and large portions. The passionfruit was REALLY great. I used to go all the time, which is how I could tell that something had changed about their product. It now has an icy texture instead of creamy, and they switched to mochi that is dry instead of chewy, and has a mass-produced quality to it. If I'm in the neighborhood, I go to Berryline, but I no longer go out of my way to go by.

    (3)

  • Brian N.

    Now they charge the same for fruit and dry toppings! Also, I noticed that they just pile on the toppings, unlike Pinkberry or Red Mango in NYC or LA, which are pretty stingy when it comes to toppings. Berryline is opening new places in Cambridge and Boston soon, I am excited! :)

  • Melissa C.

    Yummy! I've been wanting to try this place out, but kept putting it off. What was I thinking?! I could have been eating this stuff all summer! The fro-yo was totally tastey -- all four flavors (mango, black cherry, pomegranate and original), which I got to try because Matt W. was willing to run back and forth from the counter to the... machine (I wonder if there's a particular name for the frozen yogurt machine...) with four little sample cups for me while I stared at all the topping possibilities. Also, super patient with my indecisiveness. All the toppings just looked so good (especially they the strawberries, they're all bright and red and glistening!)! In the end, I got Mango/Original with Strawberries. It was delicious, but I was totally jealous of everyone else's flavors, so I'm going to have to go back. It was so good, I packed my cup o' fro yo away with jaw dropping speed. Seriously, my cup was so clean when I was done they could have re-used it.

  • S L.

    Since tasting their froyo last weekend, I have been craving it DAILY! I'm so glad the weekend is approaching, so I can go back for more. It was the first quality froyo I've ever tasted, and the fruit toppings they had looked as if they were all freshly hand-picked. I wish they had a downtown Boston location, so I can go more often.

    when the thought of berryline enters into my awareness, there is almost no stopping my feet as they bring me directly to the shop. sometime squeals of delight escape from my lips when i suggest making a visit to a friend. frozen yogurt that tastes like yogurt? free samples? exotic fruit toppings? healthy sweet delicious cool treat? yes please.

    (5)

  • Anne A.

    I have to admit, paying eighty cents a topping kind of hurts me, but whatever, the froyo's yummy and the fruit is fresh. Flavor of the week is also fun.

  • Cassie B.

    After all the good reviews I had to go check it out. The yogurt was delicious and they have some pretty yummy toppings too. I had raspberry yogurt with kiwi topping and it was delicious. And not too bad in the price department either. I'd definately go again.

  • Tien L.

    I'm usually not a dessert/ice cream person but their frozen yogurt is just DELICIOUS! it's creamier than pinkberry and the tanginess sweetness are just right! fruits are fresh, staffs are friendly, and the prices is cheap compare to pinkberry and yo-berry (the one in super 88 in boston). they even offer free wi-fi! i cant wait till they have start selling smoothies :-)

    This would be a 5 but I would prefer it a little less sweet. Otherwise it is as great as everyone says. Make sure to get your frequent visitor card, because you will be back! I have almost finished my first and I started less than a month ago.

  • luosha c.

    i was really excited about this place, after having read about pinkberry and wanting something like it locally. when i finally made it there on a friday night, the line was out the door (totally mobbed with harvard undergrads). the yogurt was decent (yay softserve), and the toppings were nice, but i have to admit i was a little disappointed. the plain was pretty sweet (considering it was "plain") and had kind of a weird chalky flavor. the mango flavor was delicious in its own right, and pretty good at covering up the chalkiness, but too sweet for my taste. and neither was as yogurty as i would have hoped (it would be better if it were more sour and had a little more texture, less mushiness). also, it was a little bit *too* smooth ... a little more chewiness like in indian or turkish ice creams would have been nice. instead it had that kind of overpowering creaminess that makes tosci's ice so much less good than, say, herrell's or christina's or j.p. licks. but i guess if you like that sort of thing ... and what are they going to do when berries go out of season (basically already)? anyway, it was a good idea. maybe i'll go back if they ever bring a green tea flavor.

    It's the best of the best of the best for low fat frozen yogurt! Plus the delicious additions of fresh fruit!

    (5)

  • Albert T.

    Other Yelpers have pretty much covered what there is to say about BerryLine. All I have to add is that for "tangy" style yogurt, it's more creamy than tangy. Pinkberry does a more tangy version and I give them the edge. However, BerryLine is more reasonably priced and they give bigger portions of yougurt and toppings. This is all irrelevant because as far as I know, there's no Pinkberry in the Boston area and BerryLine's the only show in town. Don't forget to get a punch card.

    it took me awhile to find the place.....i had to ask 2 people on my way from the T to Berryline......yes i must admit i'm not good @ direction even though i clearly print out the map to get here just so i can taste Berryline everyone can't stop talking about.....the people who work there r super nice....i was staring @ the chalkboard they got on all the favors.....i couldn't decide.....fruits or non fruits for topping.....decision! decision! i'm glad they told me to take my time to decide on the topping.....it bring back memories when i was little i couldn't decide the flavor to pick @ the ice cream shop.....overall it was good especially for hot summer day.....i walked back to the T w/my froyo it only last about a little over a block before i finished all of them......

    Forever loyal to Berryline. Even when there's other options such as Yogurtland (now closed) or Pinkberry in Harvard square, Berryline will always be my go to. Great, fresh toppings. Interesting flavors on rotation, even though I always stick to the original. Friendly staff and great vibe. The space is super small, which doesn't leave to too much seating. However, the rocks/sidewalk outside make decent temporary seating when weather is nice.
