Beantown Bounty, Chapter 3

The trend of frozen yogurt—the kind that tastes more like cultured yogurt than ice cream—has slowly but surely crept across the country from the West Coast. Akin to the TCBY craze in the early ’80s, the predominant Pinkberry and Red Mango chains are now being challenged by independent makers, and we’ve found a great one just down the street from Amy’s apartment. Located in an internet café, Between Hours at 154 Harvard Ave. in Allston has a wide selection of coffee, tea, espresso, boba drinks, cakes, and ice cream, but the real draw for us is their smooth and creamy frozen yogurt. A mere $3 and some change will net you a small cup of vanilla yogurt with your choice of toppings. We picked plump red raspberries and mochi cubes. We’re absolutely obsessed with these little mochi bites, made from sweetened Japanese rice with the texture of chewy marshmallows. Fortunately for us, Between Hours is open until 1 a.m. every night for all of our fro-yo cravings!
