Yogurt on the Rocks is the straight-up choice Beach towns usually have a plethora of frozen-yogurt spots — and Pacific Beach is no exception. With so many options, it’s hard to know which one to hit when your sweet-tooth craving hits. Due to my pregnancy, this sweet-tooth craving has been hitting frequently (which could be defined as nightly) and I’ve dragged my husband into every frozen-yogurt shop Pacific Beach has. One result, in addition to my growing waistline, is the vast knowledge that I have acquired regarding frozen yogurt in PB. Yogurt on the Rocks on Garnet Avenue is not your grandmother’s frozen-yogurt stand, and thank goodness for it. It’s sexy and styled, making you immediately want to relax and stay awhile. There is an LCD TV mounted on the wall and a photo booth in the corner. The outside patio welcomes pets and has comfy chairs and tables. The best part is taste-testing the multitude of flavors and serving yourself, not to mention the vast array of toppings to choose from — anything from fresh fruit to kid’s cereal to candy is on the menu. “I really liked how many toppings there were,” said Dianne Garcia after grabbing a yogurt with family. None of this is by accident. Owner Jeff Wormington, 28, followed his wife’s advice to create a frozen-yogurt shop with a Starbuck’s feel. Wormington is an 11-year resident of Pacific Beach and is passionate about giving back to the community. Yogurt on the Rocks routinely donates to local charities, so you can feel good about giving it your business. The shop is not franchised and Wormington is usually there asking guests how they enjoyed the yogurt or what new flavors they would like to see. Wormington and his wife picked the yogurt brand and flavors after extensive taste testing. The flavors are clean and delicious — a result of their research. The current flavors are blueberry acai tart, original tart, coconut cream pie, cake batter, cookies and cream, Irish mint, red velvet, vanilla, chocolate, cappuccino, dolce de leche, pink-lemonade sorbet (one sorbet), marshmallow, and PB berry (made in-house). They always provide one sorbet and one no-sugar-added option. Wormington currently changes the flavors based on popularity but he’s always up for suggestions. Yogurt on the Rocks is a great spot for all ages to enjoy, noted Wormington. “During the day, we have a lot of kids stop by after school. Toward the evening, it changes to twenty-somethings and early thirties — couples and groups of friends grabbing a yogurt before going home to watch a movie.” Wormington has future plans for an acai bowl because of frequent customer requests. He also promises more toppings and flavors to come this summer, but don’t wait that long to hit up this soon-to-be PB gem!
