Customers can choose their own yogurt flavor at self-serve stations, and mix in their own toppings. There are 40 toppings to choose from, ranging from candies and cookies to fruit. Spoon Me frozen yogurt is priced by weight, at 30 to 40 cents per ounce.

Spoon Me offers about 15 kinds of smoothies. The smoothies have a frozen yogurt base, using either natural, green tea, or açaí yogurt.Customers can also add soy protein, multivitamins, energy, vitamin C, smart blend and many other nutritional supplements to their smoothie.

All of Spoon Me's bowls and spoons are biodegradable and edible, made from corn starch. They hope to be open in the next few weeks and their hours will be Monday-Thursday from 11 am to 12 midnight and Friday/Saturday 11 am to 1 am, Sundays from 11 am to 9 pm.
