A Sweet New Addition to Downtown Palo Alto: Meet Yiaya Greek Yogurt

Downtown Palo Alto has a fresh new destination for dessert lovers. Yiaya Greek Yogurt, a Greek-inspired frozen yogurt shop, celebrated its grand opening on October 30, 2026, at 520 Bryant Street, bringing a colorful selection of frozen yogurt, fresh fruit, and creative toppings to the heart of the community.

And Palo Alto residents have already taken notice.

A Fresh Take on Frozen Yogurt

Yiaya offers a self-serve, pay-by-weight experience that lets customers create their own combinations.

The shop features rotating flavors, including pistachio, coconut, chocolate, wild berries, honey, and original Greek frozen yogurt, complemented by a selection of fresh fruits, housemade toppings, and Greek-inspired specialties.

For those who prefer traditional Greek yogurt, the shop also offers fresh yogurt varieties with customizable toppings.

Inspired by Family and Greek Traditions

The name Yiaya, meaning grandmother in Greek, reflects the owner's inspiration: gathering family and friends around a table to share food and meaningful moments.

That philosophy is reflected in the shop's central toppings table, designed to encourage guests to explore flavors and create something uniquely their own.

Bringing New Energy to Downtown Palo Alto

New neighborhood businesses help shape the character of a community. From familiar gathering places to fresh culinary experiences, each addition gives residents and visitors another reason to explore downtown.

Yiaya's arrival is especially noteworthy because downtown Palo Alto has been without a dedicated frozen yogurt shop since 2019.

With enthusiastic early interest and plans for possible additional Peninsula locations, Yiaya is an exciting new addition to the local dining scene.
