Capo in Belmont Now Has Froyo



Fro-yo girl here. Capo opened on September 15, 2020 in Belmont, CA. The fast casual Mediterranean café specializes in healthy gyros, salads, sides, and spreads. They also make their own Greek yogurt panna cotta. The menu and look remind me of Souvla – you pick your form – pita, rice plate, or salad bowl, then you pick your protein.

I don’t think they had Greek froyo when they first opened. But guess what? They have one froyo machine now. There are two flavors of Greek frozen yogurt: Vanilla and Chocolate. It’s not on the menu but they have froyo – one size, no toppings. Students and teachers get 20% off Monday – Friday until 2 PM. And froyo is $3 for kids on Wednesdays. If you’re looking for Souvla style froyo, you’re going to be disappointed. Their yogurt is denser and icier plus it’s sweet but not cloyingly so.

Out of curiosity I drove by where Yoppi used to be in Belmont. It’s a Jamba Juice now. Surprisingly, Ya-Ua is still open in Belmont – 11 years and counting.

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