CARMEL VALLEY — A Greek yogurt shop has opened its first San Diego-area location at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, bringing the Mediterranean-style cafe’s customizable yogurt bowls and smoothies to North County.
Go Greek Yogurt, located at 3545 Del Mar Heights Road, opened Jan. 30 and marks the brand’s fifth California location. Founded in 2012, Go Greek Yogurt focuses on traditional Greek recipes, offering classic and frozen yogurt bowls, sweet and savory Greek bowls, and smoothies.
The brand’s Los Angeles roots helped fuel its early popularity, particularly in Hollywood. The first Go Greek Yogurt opened in Beverly Hills, where it quickly attracted a celebrity following that includes Jennifer Aniston, Gigi Hadid, and members of the Kardashian family.
Much of the brand’s popularity stems from its stated emphasis on a healthy lifestyle.
“Our Greek yogurt is higher in protein and lower in sugar, naturally,” Newport Beach franchise owner Eduardo Castelan told the Los Angeles Times. “We don’t add any sugar to our yogurt.”
Signature yogurt flavors include plain, Greek honey and chocolate, with rotating seasonal options and a variety of fruit, granola and other toppings. The storefront offers outdoor seating, with indoor seating planned in the coming weeks.
The Carmel Valley location is offering 15% off all purchases through Feb. 12 to celebrate its grand opening. The store will also participate in a companywide Valentine’s Day promotion on Feb. 13-14, offering buy-one-get-one-half-off specials.
