Yiaya Greek Yogurt has opened at 520 Bryant St. in downtown Palo Alto. Palo Alto Online reported this week that the new shop is drawing long lines.
The Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce listed an Oct. 30 ribbon cutting at the address. The shop offers frozen and fresh Greek yogurt with toppings, with customers paying by weight, Palo Alto Online reported.
The business adds another dessert option downtown, but the early queues are an opening-week snapshot rather than a measure of its long-term popularity. Customers looking for the location can find it on Bryant Street, where the chamber held its grand-opening celebration.

Founder Marc Schechter said weekend and dinner business in Palo Alto was slow, and the car-free street played a part. The chain is eyeing the North Bay next.
The City Council unanimously advanced a Bryant Street safety package to final design on Nov. 9, with traffic circles, curb extensions and high-visibility crosswalks planned for a 2027 construction bid.
Bank of America, Blackstone, Citi and Morgan Stanley announced a $63 billion financing to buy Broadcom AI accelerators and networking gear and lease them to Anthropic. Palo Alto-based Broadcom is backing the senior debt with a residual value guarantee.
In a nonbinding Nov. 9 prescreening, Palo Alto council members generally supported 200 rental apartments at 720 San Antonio Road but asked for ground-floor retail, stepbacks and other changes. No approval was granted.
The ordinance would bar new or expanded detention, holding and processing facilities on public or private land in Palo Alto for a year, following San Jose, Los Altos, Gilroy and Mountain View.
