Hey! I am yogost Christchurch is a yoghurt drink and bubble tea shop at 35 Riccarton Road, Riccarton, rated 4.7 from 151 Google reviews. Customers mention the purple rice yoghurt, mochi, strawberry mochi, a Nutella banana drink and brown sugar, and they like the fun seating and friendly staff.

For a good yoghurt-based drink, look for fresh fruit or grains rather than syrup, and for toppings that are soft and not overly sweet. Many shops let you adjust sweetness and ice, and asking for less of either often shows the flavour better. Toppings like mochi or boba are best enjoyed soon after the drink is made, before they soften or harden in the cold. A busy student suburb like Riccarton often has a rush after classes, so mid-afternoon can be quieter.
For a sweet, fruity pick-me-up on Riccarton Road, Hey! I am yogost is worth a try.
