Founded in 2012, Go Greek Yogurt began its journey with its first location in Beverly Hills.

The Newport Beach store marks the fourth Go Greek outlet in California and the thirteenth internationally, reflecting the brand’s growth and popularity.
At this Newport Beach location, customers can enjoy yogurt that is imported directly from Greece, renowned for being higher in protein and lower in sugar compared to average yogurt products. The shop offers a wide variety of choices, including fresh and frozen yogurt, smoothies, and yogurt bowls.
Unique Offerings
The menu features a selection of house flavors like plain tart, Greek honey, and chocolate. In addition, the shop presents a rotating lineup of flavors such as sour cherry, rose, hazelnut, guava, and passion fruit. Customers have the option to customize their yogurt with an array of healthy toppings including chia seeds, almonds, granola, and fresh fruits, along with various candy toppings.
Frozen yogurt is available in the same house flavors as well, with additional seasonal options like peanut butter, lemon, and strawberry. For those seeking plant-based alternatives, the location also includes vegan choices and yogurt smoothies, catering to a wider audience. Meal-suitable yogurt bowls serve as a nutritious option, featuring signature bowls like the Althea bowl, a sweet concoction of various berries and Greek honey, and the Greek salad bowl, a savory blend of cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and seasonings.
Health-Focused Approach
The owners aspire for Go Greek Yogurt to be perceived as a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream, capitalizing on the growing trend of health-conscious eating. The Newport Beach store is open seven days a week, operating from 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and extending its hours until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
