5. Sweet Spot Frozen Yogurt in Trolley Square opened this week. The new froyo place had a few, what they described as "speed bumps along their journey.Framingham Patch reported a froyo place was coming to Trolley Square in April and Selectmen approved the license in July. Inspections took place in August. They opened officially on Wednesday.
We stopped yesterday (Friday, Sept. 7) about 4 p.m. and there wasn't a seat available. We took our watermelon sorbet to go. It was very yummy. Also on the menu Friday were Cake Batter, Strawberry, Wild Berry, Red Velvet Cake, Cappuccino, Chocolate, Cookies n' Cream, and Orange Sorbet (non-dairy). Most flavors are gluten-free. Cake Batter, Red Velvet Cake and Cookie n' Cream are not. You pay per ounce. Check it out and posted your thoughts in the comments below.

We tried it yesterday as well and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I just have to find new routes home so I'm not tempted to stop too often.
