A Year of Flavours: Looking Back at 2026 So Far
From opening day at Kellyville Central to our most popular seasonal flavour yet, here's a look back at what's made 2026 such a memorable year for CD Yogurt.
Executive Summary
We’re just past the halfway mark of 2026, and it felt like a good moment to pause and look back at everything that’s happened since CD Yogurt opened its doors at Kellyville Central. From our very first customers to the flavours that became instant favourites, here’s our year so far.
TL;DR
2026 has been a big year: we opened at Kellyville Central, introduced a rotating monthly flavour that’s become a genuine highlight for regulars, extended our hours based on customer feedback, and watched a small local shop turn into a proper neighbourhood habit for a lot of Kellyville families.
Key Takeaways
- CD Yogurt opened its doors at Kellyville Central earlier this year
- The rotating “Featured Flavour” has been one of our most popular ongoing ideas
- Sunday trading hours were extended directly in response to customer feedback
- Community moments — birthdays, sports team celebrations, after-school visits — have shaped the shop’s identity as much as any flavour has
- We’re already planning new flavours and community touchpoints for the rest of 2026
Where We Started
CD Yogurt began as a genuinely simple idea: a lighter, customisable, real-fruit dessert option for Kellyville, served by people who actually live in the area. Opening day was equal parts nerve-wracking and exciting — a mix of curious first-time visitors, a few early regulars who’s stuck with us ever since, and a lot of trial and error behind the counter as we found our rhythm.
Looking back, what stands out most isn’t any single flavour or promotion — it’s how quickly the shop started to feel like part of the neighbourhood rather than just a new business on the block.
The Flavours That Defined the Year
Our rotating monthly “Featured Flavour” turned out to be one of the best decisions we made early on. It gives regulars a reason to come back and try something new, and it’s given us a genuine feedback loop — we hear directly from customers about what’s working and what they’d like to see again.
A few standouts from the year so far:
- Our seasonal Australian mango flavour, made with hand-selected local mango, became an instant favourite and sells out its season faster each time
- A passionfruit and coconut combination that started as a one-month trial and got brought back by popular demand
- Chocolate hazelnut, which leaned into a more indulgent, dessert-forward direction and found its own loyal following
Community Moments Worth Remembering
Some of our favourite memories from the year didn’t come from a flavour launch at all — they came from the small, everyday moments. Local sports teams celebrating a win with a round of bowls. A regular bringing in their whole extended family for a first visit. Kids proudly building the most elaborate topping combination they can manage, every single time.
These moments are the actual reason the shop exists in the form it does — not just as a dessert stop, but as somewhere people choose to mark small wins and ordinary afternoons alike.
What’s Ahead for the Rest of 2026
We’re not slowing down. Expect more seasonal flavours as local produce comes into season, continued tweaks to our hours and offerings based on what customers tell us, and hopefully a few new community partnerships in the works. If the first half of the year is anything to go by, the second half should be just as good.
