With the recent opening of RedBerry, it looks like the yogurt wars have really heated up. This yogurt shop sports a name suspiciously similar to another yogurt chain you might have heard of ( *cough* pinkberry *cough* ). And from what I've read of that other yogurt store, it's quite similar in style, providing tart, yogurt-y flavors with a nice choice of toppings.
I haven't actually tried Pinkberry yet, but RedBerry might have a few additional features to attract converts to its door. For one, it has more flavors (8 to Pinkberry's two flavors). And my favorite part -- for medium sizes ($4) and larger, you can add as many toppings as you want. One complaint about Pinkberry has been the stinginess of its serving sizes. You won't have that problem at RedBerry.
So how's the yogurt? Pretty good, in my book. I'm getting to like the more natural yogurt taste. And there's only a little bit of iciness (something that Yogurt World just up the street seems to suffer from to a greater degree). There's a nice selection of toppings, from your standard stuff like sprinkles and nuts to more Asian ingredients like flavored jellies, mochi, and lychee.
I'm still not sure I get this whole yogurt craze. I find it tasty, but not addictive. But it's a nice treat that's a little bit easier on the waistline. So far RedBerry seems to provide the best value of the tart yogurt places in SD. Things should really heat up when Pinkberry finally opens in Hillcrest later this year.

" $3 for a small (plain) yogurt, $4 for a small with toppings- as much as you want- you can top it one time only- The topping bar was pretty extensive- lots of fresh fruits and some dry stuff ( I did not see Mochi, but did not look for long)...."
