One person said customers should ‘start queuing now’ as they have never seen the exising branch without a long queue
Fans of frozen yoghurt are set to have a new location to get their fix in South London. Yo-Chi, the Australian frozen yoghurt brand, has confirmed it will be opening its second UK venue in Clapham.
Clapham has long been the second home for Australians in London and many were surprised when they announced its first opening would be in Notting Hill. Now, they can breathe a sigh of relief, as the iconic frozen yoghurt, which has seen regular lengthy queues stretch down the road, will finally open in SW4.
Since opening its Notting Hill venue, the brand has served more than 100,000 frozen yoghurt bowls, with queues being a common sight. On opening day, guests queued for five hours.
One person wrote with advice for eager customers ahead of the opening: “Start queueing now because I live in Notting Hill and there hasn’t been a single day I’ve walked past this place where the queue hasn’t been out the door.”
The new venue on Bromell Road will be 1,850 sq ft, with enough seating for 60 guests inside and a further 30 outside. Inside, you will be treated to plush interiors, bespoke artwork, a DJ booth, as well as a disco ball.
Its location is also ideal, as it’s a short walk from Clapham Common park, making Yo-Chi a great spot to meet up for post-run fuel. ‘Fro-Yo ‘, as it is called, has become a popular dessert for those looking for a sweet treat. It boasts ten signature flavours with the option of a variety of toppings. Guests can fill as much as they want, as the price of the yoghurt is determined by weight.
Oliver Allis, Co-owner and Chief Brand Officer at Yo-Chi, said: “We honestly feel like the Yo-Chi at Clapham will be the new unofficial Australian embassy… most people have a friend who’s moved to Clapham from Australia, and we are stoked to be able to give them a taste of home in their backyard.”
One person on social media wrote: ” I’ve actually been waiting for them to announce the Clapham one.”
The new venue will be located at 40-48 Bromell’s Road, just a short walk from Clapham Common station. An opening date has not been confirmed, but it will be before the end of the year.
