Streetlevel: Silver Spoon Yogurt Coming to Fulton
The Brooklyn yogurt wars continue to escalate! Just last week we reported that Korean-style yogurt vendor Yofiore had recently signed a pricey lease at 32 Court Street in Downtown Brooklyn. Now comes news that a shop called Silver Spoon, which traffics in “premium” fro-yo, is setting up shop at 739 Fulton Street in Fort Greene….
The Brooklyn yogurt wars continue to escalate! Just last week we reported that Korean-style yogurt vendor Yofiore had recently signed a pricey lease at 32 Court Street in Downtown Brooklyn. Now comes news that a shop called Silver Spoon, which traffics in “premium” fro-yo, is setting up shop at 739 Fulton Street in Fort Greene. Presumably the rent on this stretch of Fulton is lower than the $14,000 a month Yofiore is shelling out on Court. GMAP
What happened to Keur n’Deye? I really thought that place was exceptional, and I was really sad to see it go. I wasn’t crazy about the renovation, but loved the people there.
Absolutely agree with you. You dream has come true. I just saw the coming soon sign for Red Mango on Court Street between State Street and Atlantic Ave.
Pinkberry is nasty. I would kill for a Red Mango somewhere in Brooklyn Heights / Cobble Hill. As a friend of mine said – Red Mango is like sex in a yogurt cup.
Thank you Shoot and Leaves!!! Your point is well taken. Enough already. Personally, I am happy to see that there will be a new froyo shop. It will be a great addition to the neighborhood.
Shoots and Leaves…i think we’re lucky it hasn’t degenerated into a discussion of anything worse. PropJoe hasn’t added his 2 cents worth yet.
Can’t we all just enjoy a little Froyo and not analyze everything to death. There’s new about a new yogurt store in Fort Greene, and the discussion inevitably turns to the housing market.
Wouldn’t a starbucks really be better at this location? How much frozen yogurt does one sell in February?
So let me get this straight, What.
You are against a housing bubble with prices going up every year, but you are FOR the over-expansion of chains/rising prices and expect them to never have off years??
Maybe they can use inflated dollars.

With the economy on the brink of a recession, consumers are focusing their purchases on staples while cutting back on luxuries like $4 lattes, causing sales to slump at Starbucks Corp. the world’s largest chain of coffee shops.
Starbucks last week said it will close more U.S. stores than it will open next year after it posted its first loss in 16 years as a public company.
