Sweet CeCe’s

Posted by Wes / 2 comments » / $, desserts

If you have even stopped in Knoxville in the commercial wonderland of Turkey Creek, you might have grabbed yogurt from a small chain called Menchie’s. Certainly Sweet Cece‘s gained inspiration from this brightly colored self-serve format.

Seeing how crowded this place can get later in the night, I got there about 6:30 to find I was the only person in line. Soon after, the crowd started rolling in. Two outgoing, but not ditzy, young girls were very helpful and seemed to know quite a bit about their products when I hit them with several questions. They gladly provided cups for as many samples as I wanted, but I imagine this arrangement could be inefficient if there are busy times.

There are 8 flavors available, including one non-dairy option (mango sorbet), and one tart option. In a confusing twist, all samples are nonfat unless marked “low-fat.”The pricing is by weight as you would find at Yogurt Oasis, but the quality of the yogurt seems much better. The amount of toppings including candies, cereals, and fruit to calorically enchance yogurt cup is staggering at first. You may even want to browse their website to get an idea of what you want. I had a huge cup of delicious Snickerdoodle (probably a transient flavor – I hear butter pecan is also good but wasn’t there on this trip), a bit of chocolate yogurt, cookie dough, and raspberries.

According to their website, strawberry, raspberry, and pecan praline are coming within a week. And I think a raspberry-pecan-butterfinger-banana cup is in my future.

    Sounds better than the Tasti D-lite I had yesterday…just opened on the little point where Elliston and West End meet. I had the French Vanilla and it tasted like…well…like nothing.

    I love this place so very much. My regular order is the tart yogurt with granola, almonds, coconut, strawberries and blueberries. YUM YUM YUM. I think their tart yogurt blows all of the west coast chains (like pinkberry) away.
