UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — A trending downtown frozen yogurt shop is bringing its swirls of tart desserts — as well as its notoriously long lines of teens and foodies — to the Upper West Side.
Mimi's, opening on Columbus Avenue at West 70th Street, puts an Australian spin on the frozen treat with fresh ingredients, including raspberries from Oregon, matcha from Japan, and mangoes from India.
The new shop marks the brand's fourth New York City location, and the second one uptown, following Upper East Side's opening this September.
The froyo shop is opening in what was once a Corcoran office space at 221 Columbus Ave.
The new location was confirmed by CBRE's quarterly report, which came out this week and was first reported on by ilovetheupperwestside.
Mimi's, started by Australian Amber Linz, has other locations in Greenwich Village and Soho, where Linz first operated a froyo pop-up last summer before becoming a permanent fixture.
Downtown, the lines can run infamously long.
The menu also features toppings like Medjool dates sourced from California, cookie dough, brownies, pistachio sauce from Italy, Guittard chocolate chips, Swedish candy and more, according to the brand's website.
No word yet on when the shop will open.
