About Shibbys Frozen Yoghurt & Açaí

Shibbys Frozen Yoghurt & Açaí is a self-serve frozen yoghurt and açaí bar at 197 Broadway in Newmarket, Auckland. It has a 4.6 rating from 570 Google reviews. Its website says you fill your own cup with as much or as little premium frozen yoghurt or açaí as you like, add fresh fruit, sauces on tap and crunchy toppings, then weigh it on the scale and pay at the counter. Reviewers praise the flavours and toppings, mention cookie dough and Biscoff sauce, and say the seating is cramped and busy at times and prices are on the higher side.

At a self-serve dessert shop you pay by weight, so the toppings add up fast, and a light cup with a few chosen toppings is cheaper and often tastes better. Start with a small amount of yoghurt, taste different flavours, and add fruit first, then sauces and crunchy pieces last so they stay crisp. Frozen desserts melt quickly, so eat soon after you fill your cup. Evenings and weekends are busiest, so a mid-afternoon visit is easier for seating.

For a build-your-own froyo or açaí bowl in Newmarket, Shibbys is a popular, well-reviewed stop.
