A Fly on the Wall of Penguin FroYo

Frozen yogurt (or "froyo," if you're a frozen yogurt addict) is quite possibly the most delicious food to be given to the human race--especially an amazing cup of tart yogurt with fruity pebbles and strawberries from Penguin FroYo.
The exposed brick walls and over-sized maroon chair coupled with the modern lighting made the store seem contemporary and homey at the same time. Tables and chairs line the brick walls--seating is ample. The store had some sort of children's entertainment playing in the background, most likely to bring nostalgic memories back.
The ambient noise of the movie is complimented by the sugary smell of ice cream, warm cones, and frozen yogurt. Every now and then, a sweet crepe would be made by one of the employees; the warm sugar scent would loft around the brick walls, circle its way around the room, and settle into my nose, once again resurrecting my hunger pains for more sweets.
Many students came in to eat; they would walk in with some sort of San Jose State apparel, order frozen yogurt, and eat in one of the many large cozy chairs. Those who had been there before seemed comfortable and knew exactly what to do; one customer knew his order by heart and perched himself in a chair. His legs were sprawled everywhere, as if he was sitting in a LazyBoy at his parents' house--once he was done, he tossed his cup in the trash can casually, said his thank-you's, and left.
