New Peachwave Redondo Beach & South Bay Froyo Updates

Fro-yo girl here. I don’t make it out the South Bay too often and I missed the mid-July opening of Peachwave Frozen Yogurt in Redondo Beach. Peachwave is on a busy street and inside Artesia Produce Market. The market was recently remodeled by the new owners. You can get tacos, sandwiches, and guacamole from the deli inside and then go to the very back for froyo (designed to be self-serve, currently full service due to COVID-19). It’s currently full service.

There are 12 flavors a day (flavors rotate) and the usual toppings for 59 cents an ounce (higher price than average). They had lots of toppings – fruit, candy, nuts, cookies, mochi, popping boba, brownies, cheesecake, jellies, coconut, graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate chips, etc. They have waffle cups too. I was surprised that they didn’t have any tart flavors. Hmm. They have gelato but no tart froyo??

Flavors of the day: 

• Pineapple Dole Whip
• Raspberry Dole Whip
• NSA Blueberries ‘n Cream
• NSA Peaches ‘n Cream
• Vanilla: Just had Madagascar Vanilla from Yogurtland which was much more flavorful than Peachwave’s, the texture was creamy but seemed too soft (and melted quickly)
• Chocolate
• Cotton candy
• Toasted marshmallow
• Cookies ‘n cream gelato
• Pistachio gelato

The décor inside the store is very basic though the wall of froyo machines did have a round white and green tile. All the toppings were covered and labeled. Service was friendly. They have a rewards program. Also, on Thursdays you can get a flat rate cup for $3.99 – only you can’t fill it yourself and the cup is very small. There are a few tables & chairs set up outside if you’d like to sit and eat your froyo. I did like the Peachwave mural on the side of the building.

I drove by Menchie’s (2515 Artesia Blvd) on the way to Peachwave and I noticed it was closed during the middle of the day. Google lists it as temporarily closed, as does the Menchie’s website. I tried calling but the phone number is no longer in service. Not a good sign…I’m thinking it probably won’t reopen.

I also noticed that Yogurtland Torrance Crossroads closed earlier this year. Yogurtland Torrance Village Del Amo, Yogurtand Gardena and Manhattan Beach open at 1 PM (pretty late) and Yogurtland Redondo Beach doesn’t open till 2 PM. Peachwave opens at 1 PM Monday – Thursday. Pinkberry Torrance and Tutti Frutti Redondo Beach open at 11 AM.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
