Macon Swirls (Macon)

Rating: 3.5/5 stars on Yelp (23 reviews)

Review: “Hands down the best frozen yogurt I’ve had in Macon, and beyond. Quality taste, superb flavors, lovely staff, comfy place setting and great prices. Favorite part has to be the grand topping selection that is always kept filled and fresh,” said Ania.

Favorites on the menu: any of the toppings and Tigers Blood Italian ice.

Tutti frutti (Macon)

Rating: 4/5 stars on Yelp (8 reviews)

Review: “Not all fro-yo places are created equal, and Tutti frutti is among the best. They have a ton of flavors with some sugar free options. But the best part is the toppings bar. The selection is fantastic; three kinds of boba; lots of fruit, candy, and nuts; and mochi, my favorite. It gets pricey if you go wild with toppings, but the price isn’t bad for a standard size cup. (Mine usually runs about $4.50.) The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is bright and cheerful,” said Emily.

Favorites on the menu: fruit and candy topping selections and boba.
