Blushing for Blush

The 80's are back. Legwarmers are appearing in stores again, along with tight jeans and shirts with only one shoulder strap. And let us not forget the frozen yogurt.

Back in the day it was TCBY, but now it's more of a tiny mom and pop chain kind of thing, with serve yourself stands and toppings bars. With two kids to entertain, I've tried a lot of yogurt stores over the past year. But we recently checked out one that opened in downtown Burlingame that we really liked.

Blush is a small franchise, with five locations around the Bay Area: San Francisco (near AT&T Park), Dublin, Milpitas, Walnut Creek, and Burlingame. It is a little different than most of the other fro-yo shops that have popped up like mushrooms recently.

First of all, it's not a serve yourself place. Unfortunately, that means I can't get the teeny-tiny amount I usually do at other stores. But it makes up for that in a number of ways. Most importantly, it's a better quality yogurt, made from all-natural, organic Strauss dairy products. It's sweetened naturally with fruit juice. The other thing that I really like about Blush is that the space is more comfortable, with lots of seating. Okay, I admit I could do without the huge TV screens they have. But I do like the little patio out back of the Burlingame location.

So poof out your hair, squeeze into those skinny jeans, and head on over to Blush for a 2011 take on frozen yogurt.
