Buddies Frozen Yogurt Opens Under South Shore Vaad Hechsher in Long Beach
A new kosher-certified dessert option has opened on Long Island's south shore barrier island. Buddies Frozen Yogurt is now serving in Long Beach, NY, carrying certification from the South Shore Vaad — a hechsher advisors booking Nassau County beach stays will recognize as reliable for local frum clientele. The shop fills a real gap: dessert options with verified kosher supervision have been thin along the Long Beach/Lido Beach/Atlantic Beach stretch, a popular warm-weather draw for Orthodox families who want a beach vacation without leaving the tri-state area or sacrificing kashrus standards. Notably, the shop is keeping extended hours on Saturday nights after Shabbat ends, which matters for clients planning a post-Havdalah outing. For advisors building summer itineraries or weekend packages in this corridor, it's a small but useful addition to the local dining list — worth flagging to clients who ask about kosher food options beyond the usual pizza and deli standbys.
