Artisanal Yogurt Bars

Astarté Yogurt Bar Boasts Hand-Crafted and Locally Sourced Treats

— March 16, 2016 — Lifestyle
Astarté Yogurt Bar is a Toronto-based business that takes its desserts seriously in an effort to appeal to a demographic of urbanites with a refined palette. Inspired by craft cocktail bars, this yogurt cafe rejects a traditional self-serve business model in exchange for knowledgable staff who hand-crafts the cafe's custom yogurt bowls and frozen yogurt blends.

Acting as baristas or yogurt mixologists of sorts, Astarté Yogurt Bar's staff creates artisanal dessert creations that will appeal to foodies with an appreciation for guilt-free treats. Made with all-natural and locally sourced ingredients, each of the cafe's menu items is more impressive than the last. Some of the yogurt bar's most notable menu items include 'Peanut Butter & Strawberry,' 'Blueberry & Lavender' and 'Lemon & Poppy Seed' froyo creations.
Trend Themes
1. Artisanal Desserts - The trend of hand-crafted desserts made with locally sourced and all-natural ingredients is growing, providing opportunities for businesses to appeal to foodies with refined palates.
2. Customized Ordering - Custom yogurt and frozen yogurt ordering replaces the traditional self-serve model, providing opportunities to offer personalized dessert creations.
3. Knowledgeable Staff - Knowledgeable staff who hand-craft desserts like mixologists is a trend inspired by cocktail bars, providing opportunities for businesses to appeal to customers looking for a unique experience.
Industry Implications
1. Frozen Yogurt Shops - Frozen yogurt shops can capitalize on the trend of artisanal, customized, and hand-crafted desserts made with locally sourced and all-natural ingredients, as well as knowledgeable staff creating a unique experience for customers.
2. Cocktail Bars - Cocktail bars can expand into the dessert market and offer hand-crafted creations made with all-natural and locally sourced ingredients, allowing customers to indulge in guilt-free treats.
3. Farm-to-table Restaurants - Farm-to-table restaurants can offer hand-crafted and unique dessert options made with all-natural and locally sourced ingredients to complement their farm-fresh menus.
