Frozen yogurt company Yo-Chi has announced they are opening their doors in Notting Hill Gate this month (August) for their European debut.
Yo-Chi was founded in Melbourne in 2012 and has domestically expanded to 70 stores.
The first UK site will span over two floors, welcoming over 120 guests.
The spacious environment is thanks to the double height ceilings, and the space is filled by the vibrant mural artwork and the signature strawberry disco ball.
Co-owner and chief brand officer at Yo-Chi Oliver Allias said: “We’d seen thousands of comments, messages and videos from Brits who’d discovered us in Australia or found us online, so we thought we’d better listen and head over.
“For those who haven’t tried Yo-Chi, it’s hard to fathom just how much hype there is around a frozen yogurt shop but honestly, there’s no other place with a better product.”
At the heart of Yo-Chi is that everyone can suit their own taste via the self-serve swirling machines and topping stations.
It has dairy-free, vegan and gluten friendly as well as nut-free choices.
Guests select their bowl size and can choose between nine flavours of frozen yoghurt – such as salted butterscotch, strawberry cream or matcha – or choose acai as their base.
Awaiting customers are 30 topping options to add and weigh their bowl at the till.
“We’re talking yogurt made from fresh milk, not powder, plus ethically sourced açaí and fresh fruit cut every day, plus all the treats we love like cookie dough and pistachio spread,” Allias continued.
With a large social media presence including 177,000 followers on Instagram, the British public who had discovered Yo-Chi in Australia or Singapore will be delighted to welcome the brand to a busy part of London.
“Expect Yo-Chi to become your go-to spot to hang out with friends, powered by the Australian hospitality that’s made us so special back home, and for the Notting Hill community, expect us to look after the locals whenever we get the chance,” Allias promised.
