If you haven’t heard, Pinkberry is serving a new flavor of “chilly delight” — coffee. I wont go so far to call it brown berry or dingle berry, but it’s not my favorite combo.

The other night I went into the Sawtelle location (no line BTW) with full intentions of ordering a whole cup of coffee yogurt. When I walked up to the counter, the friendly folks offered a sample of their new flavor. I said sure, and ended up with a heaping taster cup, probably about 1/4 of a small sized order.

I took a first bite — hmmm, not a whole lot of coffee flavor there. Oh, there it is, is this Sanka? Oh, it’s probably Starbucks…

Next bite — This just is not my thing. I love coffee, I love coffee ice cream. This taste sort of like very weak coffee with a little sour milk in it. My mouth is trained to automatically reject coffee with spoiled milk, a reaction learned from eating at cheap diners who leave their little metal creamers in the sun all morning.

Third bite — Ok, that’s enough, I’m not even going to finish this sample, glad they gave it to me though.

So I didn’t go through with it, I ended up ordering a small original with blueberries and Fruity Pebbles.

Does anyone sell Sanka anymore? I read a rumor that the reason why decaf coffee pots are often orange in restaurants is because of the association with the orange Sanka label and decaf. I drank a lot of Sanka on a high school trip back east. I have no idea why. It definitely wasn’t cool and did nothing to keep me awake.

Back to the topic at hand. It seems like Pinkberry is offering big sized samples to whoever asks for one, so taste for your self. Me? I’m getting my coffee frozen delights at Bennett’s.
