To finally have a smoothie place even closer to me than juice box in shadyside was a plus. To have a smoothie place that was reminiscent slightly of jamba juice was another plus. For the smoothie place to also include frozen yogurt, providing 6 flavors (plus 3 pairs of swirls) at the same price as all other frozen yogurt places in pittsburgh (41 cents/oz), while still operating in shadyside, is just absolutely fantastic. The staff here are still learning how to make the smoothies, so it will take them a little while to speed up and serve more customers in times to come (hopefully). GIven that planet smoothie is a decently successful franchise, and there are no other major competitors of their products in shadyside, i really hope that this place stays. i've wanted a smoothie/froyo place to be in my vicinity for so long, and it's finally here. I had a screamsicle smoothie, and while it wasn't quite as sugary as the smoothies i've had at jamba juice, it was still very refreshing. having been primarily a jamba juice drinker, i am more used to a pretty thick, sugary smoothie. their frozen yogurt seemed just as good as that of razzy fresh's (despite the fewer flavors); although i didn't try a whole bowl, i tried three samples (key lime, raspberry pomegranate tart???, and original tart) and they all tasted fine. Become a patron! Go now! Random side note: even though they have high top tables lining the window, there is no seating inside (as of now).
