# Fashionable Frozen Yogurts Aritzia's A-OK Café Launched Protein-Packed Froyo By Grace Mahas | Published 2026-10-15 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aritzias-aok-caf References: [aritzia](http://www.aritzia.com)  Froyo is having a moment, and Aritzia is getting in on the frozen fun. The fashion retailer is bringing the cult-favorite treat to its A-OK Café with A-YO-K, a new barista-crafted frozen yogurt experience that gives shoppers another reason to stick around after trying on their next wardrobe staple. Launching October 13 at seven A-OK Café locations across Canada and the U.S., A-YO-K offers three bases: Vanilla, Strawberry and Swirl. Each $12 serving comes with a choice of three premium toppings, compotes or syrups, making customization part of the appeal. The frozen treat also delivers 17 grams of protein, live probiotics, 0% fat and no added sugar. With its elevated take on a nostalgic favorite, Aritzia is tapping into the growing appetite for better-for-you indulgences while making its cafés an increasingly appealing part of the shopping experience.
