Larkin Clark | March 23, 2011 7:40 amHoused on the corner of El Camino and College Avenue, Yogurt Stop has not only served Menlo Park, it's also grown right along with it.

Kristy Korcz | November 3, 2010 9:51 pmFrozen yogurt is often regarded as the healthier cousin to ice cream, thanks to its lower fat and calorie content, but Fraiche (1910 Fillmore St., 415-674-6876; 644 Emerson St., Palo Alto, 650-566-0055) is aiming to take frozen yogurt to new and healthier heights with its classic European recipes.
