What Is BuddhaBerry?
BuddhaBerry began in Sag Harbor and later expanded to Southampton. The West Palm Beach shop is its first location outside New York. It opened at CityPlace on 30 September 2026.
The concept starts with frozen yogurt and sorbet. Flavours rotate, and many yogurts contain probiotics. The brand also lists vegan sorbet plus gluten free and nut free choices. Guests with allergies should still speak with staff because toppings share one service area.
The Setting and Atmosphere
The West Palm Beach branch feels bright, playful and easy to navigate. A long counter runs below the menu boards. Clear dispensers turn the topping wall into the visual centre of the shop.
The mood suits a quick dessert, a family stop or a break while exploring CityPlace. The format is informal. Most of the experience comes from building a cup exactly as you want it.
How the Self Serve Format Works
- Choose a cup and check the available frozen yogurt and sorbet flavours.
- Dispense one flavour or combine a few into a swirl.
- Move to the topping wall and add only what you want.
- Take the finished cup to the counter for weighing and payment.
The toppings can increase the weight quickly. Start with a smaller portion, then add a few focused extras. It is easier to balance flavour and cost that way.
Frozen Yogurt and Toppings
The main attraction is the freedom to mix flavours and textures. Our visit bowl paired a brown and white frozen yogurt swirl with cookie pieces and chocolate toppings. The combination looked generous without becoming untidy.
BuddhaBerry says it offers more than 100 toppings across its stores. The West Palm Beach display included cereals, sweets, sprinkles and granola during our visit. Fresh and lighter choices may vary by day.
Rotating flavours can include familiar options such as vanilla, chocolate, tart yogurt and fruit sorbets. The official BuddhaBerry menu is the best place to review the wider range. Availability is not guaranteed at every branch.
Drinks, Waffles and Crêpes
This is more than a frozen yogurt counter. The menu also covers smoothies, bubble tea, coffee and tea. Made to order waffles and crêpes can be finished with fruit, chocolate sauce or other toppings.
During our visit, the displayed menu listed smoothies at $13, bubble tea at $8 and Belgian style waffles at $12. Treat those as a snapshot, not a permanent price list.
Highlights
- A large and colourful self serve topping selection
- Rotating frozen yogurt and sorbet flavours
- Vegan and other dietary options
- Extra choices for guests who do not want frozen yogurt
- A convenient location in walkable CityPlace
- A fun setup for families and groups
Things to Note
- Flavours and toppings rotate, so a favourite may not always be available.
- The final cost depends on the current pricing and the weight of your cup.
- Allergy friendly options do not remove the risk of contact in a shared service area.
- Busy CityPlace periods can make the compact counter area feel crowded.
- Menu prices seen during our visit may change.
Practical Tips
- Sample an unfamiliar flavour before filling your cup, if samples are available.
- Use a small amount of each topping first. You can build texture without overwhelming the yogurt.
- Ask staff which flavours are vegan or free from specific allergens.
- CityPlace offers garage parking, with the first hour currently free.
- Allow extra time when a CityPlace event is taking place.
Value
BuddhaBerry offers strong choice, but self serve pricing rewards restraint. A carefully filled cup can feel fair for a customised dessert. Heavy toppings can raise the total quickly.
The wider café menu adds value for mixed groups. One person can choose frozen yogurt while another orders coffee, bubble tea or a waffle.
