West Covina, California Froyo Guide

Fro-yo girl here. West Covina, California caught my eye because it has two Yogurtland locations. The city is in the eastern end of San Gabriel Valley and has a population of 106,589. If you’re looking for froyo in West Covina, your options are:

  • Yogurtland, 1002 W Covina Pkwy, opened in 2009: The first Yogurtland in West Covina is across the street from Plaza West Covina. I’ve been there a few times and haven’t had any issues. They actually moved from 1000 W Covina Pkwy.
  • Yogurtland, 2500 S Azusa Ave, opened in 2015 at Island Plaza. I visited once and it was messier than the other Yogurtland West Covina location.
  • Menchie’s, 245 N Barranca Ave, Ste 14, opened in 2011. I went once and the froyo was too icy. They have 14 self-serve froyo flavors a day.
  • Yummy Yogurt, 112 Plaza Dr Spc 4592 – opened during the pandemic inside Plaza West Covina. It’s a kiosk on the first floor with 10 self-serve froyo flavors a day.

Froyo shops that closed:

  • Joghurt, 3660 Nogales St, Ste B, from 2009-2019, was a self-serve froyo shop that also sold boba drinks.
  • TCBY, 603 Plaza Dr., unknown dates – I’ve seen the listing for a TCBY inside West Covina Fashion Plaza, the indoor mall. I looked for TCBY at the mall and did not find it. TCBY is not listed in the mall directory. Foursquare says it’s closed. Yelp has one review from 2015.
  • Tutti Frutti, 112 Plaza Dr., from 2010 – unknown closing date. Tutti Frutti was a kiosk on the 2nd floor of Plaza West Covina. It closed but I’m not sure when.
  • Yogen Fruz, Westfield West Covina Mall 1474 Plaza Dr., from 2009-2012. Reviews were mostly favorable. People liked Yogen Fruz’s thicker mix-in style yogurt but some found it pricey.

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