Sweet Papaya

If you find yourself in the Oregon state capital I hope you'll take the time to look up Sweet Papaya.

My friend and I went and had "lunch" - it's a self-serve frozen yogurt place which is why lunch is in those nudge nudge wink wink quotation marks.

There's a wall of machines full of flavors of sorbet and frozen yogurt and then there's a bar of fresh fruit, a bar of candy toppings and a rack of sauce/topping bottles. Your goodies are weighed at the end and that determines cost. I didn't get a photo of any of this stuff because I was holding a little one part of the time.

Does it sound enticing? How about this:

I put mango sorbet in the bottom because mango is one of my absolute favorite flavors. It came out SUPER slow from the machine so when I then decided I wanted a swirl of coconut and a swirl of pineapple I thought it would be the same. Um no. Hence my giant cup full. But I ate all of it, oh yes I did. ;)

Oh and fresh kiwi topping. Fruit extravaganza! Yay!


The place is also little one approved. :)
