Open for Business: Pearl Gate Frozen Yogurt, 482 Fifth Avenue

An independent self-serve frozen yogurt shop called Pearl Gate opened recently in the space that was last occupied by discount store Thrifty Liquidators, on Fifth Avenue between 11th and 12th Streets.

There are 15 flavors available in the sleek shop, which is nearly identical to Yogurberry further up Fifth (that one opened back in May), and about 40 toppings are available. Flavors include the usual assortment of fruit as well as a few seasonal options like pumpkin and salted caramel. The manager told me that the selections will change regularly, and next week they'll be adding espresso, cheesecake, and pink lemonade flavors.

The fro-yo costs 49 cents/ounce, and is 20 percent off until November 1. They also make smoothies.

This opening comes just a few days after the sign announcing Yogurtland up on Seventh was vandalized, and yesterday DNAinfo asked if there's just too much frozen yogurt in this neighborhood.

Pearl Gate, 482 Fifth Avenue Brooklyn NY 11215. 917-981-1938.

If a frozen yogurt place opens in the South Slope, does it count? I'd say no.

Is the frozen yogurt made from actual fresh yogurt or from a powdered mi?

[Jon S]

Still no Marc Jacobs??? <sigh...>

It's powder and preservatives.

Only place around which is real, fresh yogurt from organic Hudson River milk is Culture. I don't understand why anyone would go anywhere else when Park Slope has the best yogurt in town.

I am not into frozen yogurt made from a powder mix. It doesn't have to be from the Hudson valley, but I want my frozen yogurt to be made from real milk and yogurt, not powdered crapola. ick
