If you’ve ever cruised down Olympic Blvd, you’ve surely seen The Bigg Chill at the corner of Westwood, just across the street from a Penguin’s Frozen Yogurt.
For some reason though, this place always has a longer line, even with the teeniest, most difficult-to-navigate parking lot. I had to investigate.
The Bigg Chill is an old-school joint where they serve you behind the counter. Hmm, we know I like my self-serve! I opted for Cake Batter, Peanut Butter, and Thin Mint Cookie.
The Cake Batter was so thick and fluffy, my mouth had to work to get through it. The Peanut Butter was a bit salty, and the Thin Mint Cookie was the biggest offender of all with its Scope Mouthwash flavoring. Clearly these Bigg Chill devotees haven’t experienced the likes of Yogurtland, where you can serve yourself from an amazing range of delicious flavors that all boast perfect consistencies!
Overall, an average score of 2.5 cherries for this corner yogurt joint. Perhaps the fans just love the range of “diet-friendly” desserts they also sell?? Yech, that’s so ’90s and turn of the millenium to get fat-free, sugar-free desserts! But hey, to each his own.~

Used to love this joint during my UCLA days! Oldie but somewhat goodie!!
Totally agree that’s it’s second to Yogurtland but there is something comforting about its old-school-ness. They don’t even take credit cards!
