907 Denman Street, Vancouver (West End)
Styo [stahy-oh] - "frozen yogurt in style" This petite ice cream shop on Denman Street is part of a growing trend of ice cream places cropping up all over the city. Specializing in soft serve, the homemade original flavour and green tea flavour are used as bases for what is now known as "parfaits". Similar in idea to your typical parfait, these parfaits start with the soft serve and alternates with fruit or cornflakes, topped with syrups, more fruit, more cornflakes, and many other things. Styo offers a wide variety of parfait combinations such as "Chocolate Devil" (Original froyo+chocolate pearls+brownie+wafer stick+banana), "Green Tea Harmony" (green tea froyo+red bean+cereal+coffee jelly+cream puff) and "Fruity Rainbow" (original froyo+pineapple+mango+blueberry), just to name a few. Aside from the parfaits, they also offer various sweet waffles and smoothies. Eugenia and I tried their special, Twisted Pop (original and green tea froyo twist+strawberries+blueberries+cereal, topped with caramel corn and a wafer stick). Despite the fact that I got a small size, there was still a lot of frozen yogurt and despite the seemingly strange combination of toppings, it tasted really good! The larger size is a dollar more, so if you are really into frozen yogurt and weird toppings, I say go for it! The "make your own" combination, I was told, is not worth it, so go for something that is already set up. Overall the place is really cute and the novelty of the parfait was nice, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
