From a press release:
“In September Tasti D-Lite, the lower-calorie frozen dessert chain with a cult following among health-conscious consumers as well as celebrities, will open its first D.C. outpost off Dupont Circle at 2029 NW P Street. A second location will open in the fall in Columbia Heights at 3100 14th Street NW. These locations will join the area’s first center that opened in May in Severna Park, Md. The three centers are the first of at least 25 Tasti D-Lites expected to open in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Delaware over the next 10 years.”
Any Tasti D-Lite fans?
Ed. Note: Tangy Sweet closed July 31 at 2029 P St, NW.
Uggh, no! That stuff tastes like Ponds cold cream.
Wow, a cult following among celebrities! I must go there now!
Is the Columbia Heights location going to be that space inside DC USA? Where they store shopping carts now.
Yay! I’m from NY and this stuff is so good!!!
CH still needs more “regular” restaurants. Not excited about adding another frozen yogurt option.
I don’t care whats trendy.
Gelato > Ice cream > Frozen yogurt
Seriously? Why not put in something different, like a cupcake shop or a burger joint.
NOOOO! Why are all these crappy corporate cold sweet places popping up, when you are local places like Dolcezze and Pleasant Pops here in town??? They try to be transparent on their website, but tell me… is corn syrup an “all natural” ingredient? http://www.tastidlite.com/index.php/talk-to-us/faqs.html

yes, yes it is. It’s corn + enzymes from bacteria, mashed up and heated. No less natural than cheese (milk + enzymes from bacteria, mixed up and heated), or bread (flour + fungus + other stuff, mixed up and heated).
I’m no shill for the corn syrup industry. It’s not exactly a health food. But it’s not some weird engineered toxin.
How can this city sustain so many frozen yogurt shops? It’s baffling.
I am not a fan of their spelling. What’s wrong with Tasty Delight?
I like how one yogurt place (DC’s best, at that) failed and closed, only to be replaced by another yogurt place. Best of luck!
NO MORE FROYO.
FRODO 4 Life!!!
Fro-yo haters, Tasti D-Lite is NOT frozen yogurt. It is “a dairy-based soft serve frozen dessert. Not frozen yogurt, because it doesn’t contain fermented yogurt cultures. Not ice cream, because it contains less than 10% butter fat.”
Doesn’t that sound more delicious?
