As food trends evolve and customers seek new experiences, adding new menu items can give your shop a competitive edge. Plus, it keeps your offerings fun and engaging for your loyal customers while attracting new ones.
Here are three mouth-watering new ideas to consider for your menu, and why they could be a perfect fit for your shop:
1. Brownie/Cookie Bowls: A Sweet and Customizable Treat
Imagine this: you cut a rich, fudgy brownie or fresh warm cookie to perfectly fit the bottom of a bowl, then top it off with frozen yogurt or a scoop of delicious ice cream. From there, customers can go wild with a range of toppings—think chocolate chips, caramel sauce, crushed cookies, fresh fruit, and more. The beauty of the brownie & cookie bowls lies in its versatility and customization. Another huge thing to consider is for frozen yogurt shops the weight this brownie or cookie could add to your customers bowl adding more money for you!

2. Refreshers: A Trendy and Convenient Drink Option
Refreshers, like the ones you see at Starbucks, are becoming incredibly popular, and for a good reason! They're vibrant, flavorful, and most importantly, refreshing. The best part? They're super easy to make. All you need is the concentrate, add water, some ice, shake, and serve!
With various flavor profiles (think berry, mango, cucumber mint), refreshers can cater to a wide range of tastes. Also, consider adding some toppings you probably already have : fresh or frozen fruit, boba, or anything else the customer might want to add to make it fun. Offering them as a grab-and-go option is perfect for customers looking for a quick, flavorful pick-me-up. Plus, it’s an affordable way for you to introduce a new drink without the need for complicated equipment or ingredients.
Refreshers are perfect for warmer weather, but they’re also popular year-round, especially with customers who are looking for a light, hydrating drink alternative to soda or heavy iced coffees. By adding them to your menu, you create a fun and easy way to elevate your beverage offerings.
