Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good frozen yogurt! A few years ago, Pinkberry was my (and many others) go-to frozen yogurt place, but ever since its closure, anyone who craves that sweet, cold treat has been struggling to find a good alternative.
Some dessert shops have tried to produce frozen yogurt, but not all of them have succeeded. In some cases, it's too sugary, in others there's not enough flavor. But with Stories, I can safely say, the real frozen yogurt experience is back in Beirut.
I tried to look up some information about Stories, but I couldn't find anything worth mentioning; the place is originally a coffee shop, on Bliss Street it caters to students mainly, and in Centro Mall caters to anyone who's there. Their menu offers different cold and hot coffees as well as other juices and some desserts.
Frozen yogurt wise, they have different flavors, sizes, and toppings, and from the flavors I have tried, I have yet to be disappointed! Next time you're around Hamra, starting to get hot, got a minute to spare and in need of a cold treat, don't miss out on Stories!
