Crazy Bananas Frozen Yogurt
Crazy Bananas is located right outside K-town and is a small frozen yogurt store that was around BEFORE Pinkberry. It’s a cute shop that has plain frozen yogurt with fruit. Their prices are less than Pinkberry (6oz was $3.50 + $1.00 for three fruit toppings).
When we walked in, the store manager asked if it was our first time. We said yes and he immediately gave us two samples of his yogurt. We liked it and decided to order a small with three fruits (we just had a huge dinner at Gahm Ni Oak). The proud store manager:

The yogurt was pretty similar to Pinkberry’s, although it wasn’t as tart/tangy. One of the selling points of Crazy Bananas is that it’s not as sweet at Pinkberry (there aren’t as many calories – Pinkberry has around 40 grams of sugar per 8ounces). The more you eat the yogurt, the more it tastes like Pinkberry.
The dessert shop wasn’t crowded, so I was looking around at the decor and I saw THIS:
Apparently, they’re good luck wooden phalluses! They’re supposed to bring luck and prosperity to their owners (I don’t think it’s working so well for Crazy Bananas since there was absolutely no one there).
I liked Crazy Bananas a lot and especially liked that they weren’t stingy on their portions like the Pinkberry on the Upper East Side and the Pinkberry in K-town. I hope their good luck wooden phalluses start working!
