Both yogurt places are very good. Quality is on par at both.I like SWEET FROG better than Zinga because at sweet frog the topping bar is next to the register so it can be monitored and cleaned as necessary VS grubby hands in the Zinga bar that can easily go unnoticed

The shakes at Cheeburger Cheeburger are the best! I know it's not ice cream or frozen yogurt, but Milwaukee Frozen Custard is the best in the area to me. The froyos al taste the same to me.
At some point Zinga is going to have to make some changes- too many people (kids) taking toppings and yogurt and not paying for it. There was a place like that in my old neighborhood while growing up in NY and after a few years they had to adjust pricing (upward) and keep a better handle on toppings because they were losing money. I think that day might be coming for Zinga- not to say I don't like it though. It seems to have become a fun place for the kids to meet with their friends and the parents to chat too.

Frozen Fantasy in Ashburn Village is brand new and tops all other ice cream and yogurt places in the area. It is a frozen yogurt place. You serve yourself so you can get as much or as little as you wish. It is so delicious!! It is to die for!

I prefer Zinga's over Sweet Frog. I like that I can pick my own toppings at both, but Zinga seems to have more variety as far as the yogurt is concerned and it doesn't feel as crowded since it's a bigger store in general than Sweet Frog.

Unfortunately, all nominees had to be in by July 9. Next year we will likely expand the categories (or at least change a couple) and start the process over. There's a story about Pinkberry's on Leesburg Patch (http://leesburg.patch.com/articles/pinkberry-opens-in-leesburg). Feel free to weigh in there with praise until next year.

I love Zinga...I think it is very clean and the management is incredibly helpful. We asked about a candy that they had put out previously and they actually went in the back and got it for us! They also acted on the suggestion to add more seating and including whip cream as a topping. You can't ask for better customer service....it I can feed all 3 kids for under $6!
