Echuca's sweet new spot

“Yo-Nut is a dedicated frozen yoghurt and fresh doughnuts, fresh cinnamon doughnuts store,” he said.

“We saw an opening for the town to have something like this, to have a dedicated dessert bar.”

Customers can choose from seven flavours, original tart, chocolate, mixed berry, salted caramel, mango, acai and biscoff, before loading up on toppings.

“We have got two vegan-friendly options and dairy-free options for people with allergies,” Tim said.

“They are all gluten-free, bar one flavour, as well, which is clearly labelled.”

The process is straightforward.

“You pick a flavour of yoghurt, pour your yoghurt, scoop your topping and weigh your cup,” he said. '

“Our primary focus is fresh, fresh and seasonal toppings.”

Tim’s favourite is an original tart or mixed berry yogurt topped off with fresh fruit and the house-made raspberry and passionfruit coolies.

House-made slices, brownies and sticky date pudding are also on offer, with Tim describing the store as 'more of a dessert bar.'

Rather than a single morning batch, doughnuts are made to order throughout the day.

“We cook the doughnuts as they are required throughout the day, so we are always doing a fresh batch,” Tim said.

Since opening on September 16, locals have embraced the new spot.

“We have been really well supported by the community, which we are very thankful for,” he said.

“We are looking forward to being able to give back to the community with support.”

The store also features an outdoor area suited to families.

“We have a really nice outdoor area, which is safe and very family-friendly, and very lit up at night,” Tim said.

“We get to enjoy the vibe of the hotel next door.”

Yo-Nut Echuca is open seven days a week from 10am to 10pm.
