Go Greek Yogurt is set to land in Larchmont Village this Saturday, bringing the chain’s thick Greek-style frozen yogurt to the neighborhood just in time for summer. Owners say the shop will kick off a soft opening at 10 a.m. and will run roughly 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. as they ease into regular hours.
Yan Yampolsky, who owns the new location with his wife, Michelle, told Larchmont Buzz that doors will open Saturday at 10 a.m. and that the first week will function as a soft-opening stretch. "I am so glad we are finally open," Yampolsky told the outlet, noting that staff have been training and the team has been testing equipment ahead of launch. Larchmont Buzz also reports the owners ran a pop-up last weekend, serving free samples to more than 300 people while they worked out the machines.
What to expect at the counter
Go Greek bills itself as a Mediterranean-forward yogurt bar built around authentic, strained Greek yogurt and rotating frozen-yogurt flavors, according to Go Greek Yogurt. The company lists multiple Southern California locations and highlights bowls, smoothies and seasonal flavors on its menu. The Larchmont shop is already listed on delivery and mapping services, including Uber Eats, which shows the business at 148 N Larchmont Blvd.
Neighbors got a preview
The owners tested the waters with a quick pop-up last Saturday that drew lines on the boulevard and reportedly served more than 300 people, Larchmont Buzz notes. Those early visitors helped staff practice service and nail down machine timing, and the owners say feedback from the pop-up shaped plans for the formal opening. Expect a compact, grab-and-go layout with limited seating, similar to other dessert counters on Larchmont.
Local backers and a TV tie
Erin Foster, creator of the Netflix rom-com "Nobody Wants This," has been profiled for her work on the series by the Los Angeles Times. Her husband, Simon Tikhman, is a music-industry executive, and their recent presence in the neighborhood has added a bit of celebrity buzz to the shop's debut. The Yampolskys will handle day-to-day operations while their partners lend local ties and publicity.
The shop opens Saturday at 10 a.m., with rotating flavors expected through the summer and a small neighborhood counter designed to match Larchmont's walkable rhythm. An official grand-opening party is reportedly planned for later, with details to come as the new storefront settles in.
