Who remembers the golden age of frozen yoghurt in Singapore? Yes, we’re talking about the days when DIY froyo joints like Sogurt, Frolick, Yami Yogurt, Tutti Frutti, and Yoguru were all the rage. Well, Yo-Chi, Australia’s popular frozen yoghurt chain that’s now open in Singapore, might be just the thing needed to make froyo great again.
The store welcomed its first customers at Orchard Central on August 15, 2025. Queues had already started forming as early as 9am, two hours ahead of the official opening. For those curious about the hype, Yo-Chi is a Melbourne-based brand born in 2012, with over 30 locations across Australia. This new store in Orchard Central is its first international outlet. The brand is known for its fun, self-serve concept that lets customers customise their own froyo or acai cups.
Yo-Chi Singapore offers acai and nine frozen yoghurt flavours: cookies and cream, salted butterscotch, signature tart, mango, strawberry cream, matcha, classic vanilla, chocolate and coconut. On the toppings counter, you’ll find a dizzying array of around 35 toppings, ranging from freshly cut fruits and compotes to jellies, popping pearls, mochi, candies and various sauces. Some, like the coconut jelly and nata de coco, are even exclusive to Singapore. These toppings will also rotate seasonally.
Each cup is priced at $3.50 per 100 grams, and don’t worry, the paper cups are tared. Ours, which was filled to the brim with matcha and strawberry cream yoghurt, popping pearls and mochi, came up to be about 368 grams ($12.88).
If you prefer your froyo plain, the signature tart, which is Yo-Chi’s original flavour, is a must-try. It’s creamier and milkier than most frozen yoghurts we’ve tried, with none of that icy, watery texture. That’s because Yo-Chi uses real Australian cows’ milk instead of powder for its yoghurt, which also happens to be 98 per cent fat-free and packed with healthy probiotics. The signature tart is one of the brand’s three OG (and gluten-free) flavours, with the others being classic vanilla and salted butterscotch.
Since it’s a DIY concept, you can mix and match as many flavours as you like. The mango is a hot favourite, made with the real fruit. Meanwhile, the cookies and cream, strawberry cream and matcha flavours are on the lighter side, while chocolate and salted butterscotch are richer and more indulgent. Those going entirely dairy-free can opt for acai instead – Yo-Chi is the first to bring the self-serve acai concept to Singapore.
The store is also one of only three Yo-Chi outlets to feature a Nutella fountain near the checkout – that’s right, Nutella on tap. At the checkout counter, you’ll also spot a range of merchandise, including Yo-Chi KeepCup Go Bowls for planet-friendly froyo runs. And make sure to look out for the brand’s adorable koala bear mascot welcoming you at the entrance.
Yo-Chi Singapore is open daily at 181 Orchard Rd, Orchard Central, #01-06, Singapore 238896.
