June 20, 2017 – mmm-yoso

mmm-yoso!!! is the name of this blog. It's a food blog. Cathy is writing today; Kirk and Ed (from Yuma) are otherwise indisposed.

I just read this article, which has a mention about Up 2 Yoü in the second paragraph and decided I should get a post out before the changes occur. There are two locations of Up 2 Yoü (I've written about dessert at the first location twice.). With the heatwave we've been having, being able to sit down for a refreshing dessert is so refreshing.

The other Up 2 Yoü location is in the same parking lot as Homestyle Hawaiian (just behind/around the corner from the soon to be rebuilt K-Sandwiches). The interior is spacious. The ordering is right next to the menu on the wall. The choices are varied.
A simple affogato (espresso and ice cream) (in this case, vanilla) ($3.95) is usually just enough of a dessert. Unless we also decide to share a crepe. ($4.25)(simply filled with mascarpone cheese ($1)). Fun and filling. A new (to us) menu item is the chocolate sphere ($7.95). That small cup of dark chocolate sauce is very hot and… when poured over the sphere, will begin to melt it, revealing the ice cream (chocolate mint was chosen and it was very refreshing, complimenting the fruit and all the other chocolate flavors) until most of the chocolate sphere is collapsed. The ice cream was on top of a cut up brownie. So many flavors of chocolate as well as fruits. The various textures and temperatures made this a special shared dessert.
