The Creamery Co. in Marysville not your average fro-yo shop

When readers contact The Herald to make suggestions for stories about local restaurants, we pay attention.

Not long ago, we heard from a mother and daughter who had enjoyed a visit to The Creamery Co. in Marysville.

I thought it was all about ice cream, and so, with a week left to enjoy National Ice Cream Month (a Congressional designation), my editor and friend Sara Bruestle and I made an afternoon stop there.

Nope, I was wrong. The Creamery is about coffee, baked goods and frozen yogurt. In fact, the full name of the business is The Creamery Co. Coffee House &Frozen Yogurt Shoppe.

While it appears to have previously been a Blu Berry frozen yogurt joint, the Creamery is many times better than any fro-yo chain store we’ll ever encounter.

Light-filled and cheery with homey decor, the Creamery has comfortable chairs, flowers on the tables and a fireplace with Pandora music playing on a TV screen above. It opens early for people who need their coffee and stays open late for people who need a little dessert with their coffee.

The other day, the bakery case displayed cupcakes and sand dollar sugar cookies. The shop serves a long list of espresso drinks and offers a generous grouping of yogurt toppings.

Fill your paper bowl with your favorite flavors of fro-yo, add your toppings, weigh in and check out. Simple, and geared to your desires.

I chose three flavors. Coconut cream pie yogurt topped with toasted coconut. Mango tart yogurt, on which I sprinkled some sliced almonds. And to the chocolate brownie batter frozen yogurt, I added a bit of chopped peanuts and a small house-made brownie square.

Pretty perfect.

After tasting a few flavors, Sara also did a trio: The same coconut and chocolate yogurt, but with a rocket pop sorbet fashioned after the popular red, white and blue Bomb Pop frozen confection. Sara opted for a purist take and skipped the toppings.

The slightly sour element of fresh yogurt keeps this frozen treat from being sickeningly sweet. It was refreshing on a warm summer afternoon.

And it was inexpensive. At 49 cents an ounce, two bowls of frozen yogurt came to just under $10.

I am eager to return to try a few of the Creamery’s espresso smoothies and milkshakes.

As with many eateries in Marysville, the Creamery is located in a little strip mall, but don’t let that deter you. This is frozen yogurt served with style.
