YO-BAR

YO-BAR brings a self-serve frozen yoghurt and açaí experience to Westfield Chermside, with the store located near Woolworths. The format is straightforward: choose your base, add from the available toppings and create a serve that matches your appetite. It works equally well as a quick shopping-centre treat, a pause in the middle of the day or an easy catch-up over something sweet. The venue’s guiding idea is “make it your way”, putting the choice in the customer’s hands rather than offering a fixed dessert combination.

The range includes 10 frozen yoghurt flavours, with classic favourites, açaí on tap and seasonal options that change the selection over time. YO-BAR also promotes a monthly special, while the topping line-up is deliberately extensive. Availability can vary between stores, so the Chermside selection may not be identical to what is offered elsewhere. The brand says its fresh produce is made in-store, and its self-serve pricing is $4.20 per 100g for frozen yoghurt, açaí and fruit cups, making it simple to build a small serve or go all-in on a larger one.

YO-BAR was founded in Melbourne in 2023 and describes itself as a 100% Australian-owned, family-built business. What began as a local store has expanded to locations across Australia, including Brisbane’s Chermside. The brand’s stated focus is on quality ingredients, thoughtful design and customisation, with its stores intended as places to treat yourself, meet friends or stop for something fresh and satisfying. That makes the Chermside venue a natural fit for solo dessert runs and casual group catch-ups, particularly when everyone wants to choose a different combination.

For a first visit, the appeal is the freedom to build your own dessert rather than committing to one set flavour or topping mix. You can keep the serve simple, try one of the rotating flavours or experiment with the available combinations. Because the range and toppings may change, repeat visits offer a reason to see what is on offer next time.
