A Philadelphia staple since the late 80s, Marathon Grill offers great food...and frozen yogurt treats! While there aren't as many flavors on the roster, Marathon makes up for it in quality.

This store is very reminiscent of West Coast chain Pinkberry, with bright neon signs and pink walls. There are even Jetson-style chairs that make you feel like you've stepped into the future. One of the first frozen yogurt spots to pop up in the City of Brotherly love, Phileo has more than a dozen rotating flavors and all the toppings you could want – from healthy fruit options and cereal to authentic Japanese mochi and gummy bears.

Sweet Ending was one of the first frozen yogurt places to pop up in Philadelphia. With ever-changing flavors from mango to cream cheese – and a topping bar with freshly cut fruit and classic cereals – this fro-yo place fast became a Philadelphia staple. The 13th and Walnut Street location even has extended hours until 2 a.m. on the weekends, so you can get your yogurt fix after a night out.

Yogorino

233 South 20th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(267) 639-5287

The most sophisticated frozen yogurt place in Philadelphia, Yogorino near Rittenhouse offers the smoothest, creamiest frozen yogurt this side of the Delaware River. It's a little classier, too, with super-friendly staff and none of the flashy signs we're used to seeing. There are unique toppings too, like their popular pistachio sauce or rock candies. The folks at Yogorino also pride themselves on their probiotic yogurt, which means it contains good, healthy bacteria our bodies love. Oh, and their sweet treats come in a recyclable cup!

Red Mango
1425 Locust St
Philadelphia, Pa.

Though it's a chain, the recently opened Red Mango in Center City serves up some seriously good fro-yo. Plus, they offer a slew of toppings, a wide variety of flavors (cake batter! peach! mango!) and a spick-and-span place to eat--no matter what time of day you come in. Bonus: There is no credit card minimum!
