Go Greek Yogurt Opens Its First Florida Location In Miami

If you're a Miami native or have lived here for more than a decade, you'll know very well that Miami's once-popping frozen yogurt scene has completely evaporated out of thin air.

There was once a frozen yogurt shop or two in every neighborhood across town—from Yogurtland and Pinkberry to Menchies—but today, not a single one of the big chains remains in the city of Miami vicinity. (Local spots and a singular Menchies exist in Kendall, Aventura, and Brickell.)

Now, those who have had to get their yogurt fix at a local smoothie or ice cream shop in Miami are in for a treat that's borderline healthy: one of Beverly Hills' most popular Greek frozen yogurt chains has opened its first Florida location (and first location outside of California) in Miami on Wednesday, May 21. Go Greek Yogurt has opened in downtown Miami at Miami Worldcenter, and it has plans to open a second location in Coconut Grove near the Mayfair Hotel & Gardens this summer.

The downtown Miami location is located at Miami Worldcenter at 851 NE First Ave., and the buzz around its opening is already spreading like honey.

The Most "Bougie" Frozen Yogurt Miami Has Ever Seen

Fans of the chain couldn't contain their excitement when the shop created a Go Greek Miami Instagram account, with comments ranging from "Finally in Miami!!!" and "This is the best news ever!!! I will be there the second doors are open!" to "This is the best news ever!!!!!! I cannot wait to have some amazingness in my new home town! Home away from home."

The excitement slowly built online up until this past weekend, when Miami native Marissa Martinez shared her excitement over the shop's new Coconut Grove storefront with a video she shared on TikTok. Martinez was walking in the Grove when the shop's beautiful new navy blue signage literally stopped her in her tracks. She writes, "Attention, Miami!!! Maybe I live under a rock because I had no idea this was coming, but the joy that ran through me when I first saw this sign! I always say that the Greek yogurt scene in Miami is trash and alas!!!! Go Greek Yogurt [I'm] beyond excited."

Founded in 2012, fans love the chain because of its classic and seasonal Greek yogurt flavors and toppings, which are all made with fresh ingredients (nothing artificial). Customers can choose from classic Greek yogurt in a cup to smoothies, Greek yogurt bowls loaded with toppings, and even a savory Greek yogurt bowl.

Frozen yogurt is back, baby.
