Tuttimelon Burlingame Grand Opening Coverage
Fro-yo girl here. Tuttimelon's expansion continues (yay) and today marked the grand opening of Tuttimelon Burlingame. Tuttimelon Bear and I were there early to catch all the action. The Burlingame location is self-serve (38 cents an ounce, 8 fro-yo machines) with fro-yo and sorbet/gelato, limited seating, the white wavy wall, reddish-orange brick like tiles, and the lacy white globes.
People lined up outside and the doors opened a little after noon. They let in 5 people at a time for awhile and the first 20 received a black or white limited edition Tuttimelon tee (with the flocked logo - this design was given out at the last few Tuttimelon grand openings). The first people to enter were a mother and son from Pacifica. Guests received a small cup which they could fill to their liking - the fro-yo and toppings were free from 12 - 2 PM. The afternoon was surprisingly warm (fro-yo weather).
I didn't witness the raffle this time around but if you're curious, check out Tuttimelon's Facebook page - they usually have photos from their grand openings there. The grand prize was an iPod Nano and they also gave away iPod Shuffles. I scored a special Tuttimelon black polo shirt with orange accents - the shirt designed for Tuttimelon managers. It's so cute - their logo is embroidered on the collar. Mr. Tuttimelon was wearing one today.
I shared a cup of peach and pomegranate fro-yo with Tuttimelon Bear. The fro-yo flavors of the day were: (1) original tart, (2) blueberry tart, (3) strawberry tart, (4) mango tart, (5) pomegranate tart, (6) vanilla, (7) chocolate, and (8) peach tart. We're really digging the peach tart these days.
They had a dozen gelato and sorbet flavors and cones. I didn't see the Sumo Bowl.
Thank you, Tuttimelon and congratulations!
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

happy chinese new year Lolia! Seems to be within arms reach for tuttimelon wherever I go!
ReplyDeleteTuttimelon is going to open up in Daly City. Can you find out where the Daly City location will be at? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think it says TBD because they're still negotiating. I don't think it would be a good idea to specify exactly which space they have in mind.

Do you know what floor the Tuttimelon Westfield SF will be at?
