Here's the scoop on a new Royal Oak business and its healthy ice cream alternatives.

Another sweet option is being added to downtown Royal Oak's lineup: Sweet Earth is a frozen yogurt shop that specializes in vegan (animal- and dairy-free) selections and allows customers to enjoy a create-your-own selection of healthier treats. The family-owned frozen yogurt business has a location in downtown Birmingham at 141 W. Maple. The Royal Oak store at 313 S. Main St. will have a similar look and feel.

Inn Season Cafe: Not Just for Vegetarians
