Yo-Chi

Yo-Chi in Indooroopilly brings together self-serve frozen yoghurt and açaí in a format built around making your own dessert. Rather than choosing a fixed combination, you can treat the yoghurt as a blank canvas and create a personalised bowl with the toppings available in store. The website describes the venues as welcoming spaces for people of all ages, making the concept a natural fit for families, groups and anyone who enjoys putting together their own sweet treat. It can also work for a casual solo stop or an easy catch-up in Brisbane.

The flavour range includes familiar choices such as Classic Vanilla, Signature Tart, Salted Butterscotch, Chocolate and Cookies & Cream, alongside Coconut, Mango, Strawberry Cream, Açaí and Cinnamon Banana. Several options have specific dietary or ingredient notes: Chocolate and Coconut are vegan, while the Açaí is made with sustainably sourced premium organic açaí berries and contains less sugar. Yo-Chi also says its yoghurt is made from real Australian milk, provides calcium and beneficial probiotics, and is 98% fat free. Freshly cut fruit is prepared on site each day.

The brand’s approach is as much about the setting as the dessert. Yo-Chi was founded with the idea of combining frozen yoghurt with a positive, open atmosphere where customers can be creative with their food. Its first venue opened in Melbourne’s Balaclava in 2012, and the business remains family-owned and Australian-owned, run by the Allis and Marro families. That background gives the self-serve concept a clear identity beyond simply selecting a flavour from a menu.

There is also a broader community and environmental focus behind the business. Yo-Chi says it works with local sports teams, university associations and charities, while its environmental programme aims to reduce reliance on single-use plastic and encourage more sustainable retail practices. With a 4.8 Google rating from 40 reviews, the Indooroopilly venue is worth considering when you want a customisable frozen dessert in a relaxed, all-ages setting.
