Froyo Scene in Seal Beach, CA

 

Fro-yo girl here. Seal Beach is a quaint city of 25,000 residents in North Orange County, along the Pacific Coast Highway. It has a nice pier and beach. Old Town Seal Beach along Main St. is the center of town. The town has a large population of retirees; 40% of the population is 65 or over. Businesses close early.

And yes, you can get froyo. There are currently two froyo shops, Peachwave and Yogurtland. Both are self-serve froyo chains. Froyo made its way to Seal Beach relatively late. Flavory Yogurt was the first froyo shop in town, opening in 2009. On the other hand, nearby Long Beach was a hotbed of froyo activity.

OPEN

• Peachwave, 348 Main St, Suite A, opened in 2019 and it’s located down the street from the Seal Beach Pier and the beach. It looks like a clean, well-maintained shop, with 10 self-serve flavors a day and a toppings bar.
• Yogurtland, 12357 Seal Beach Blvd #2, is at The Shops at Rossmoor. This branch opened in 2011.

CLOSED

• Flavory Yogurt, 347 Main St. #B, was the independent self-serve froyo option in Old Town Seal Beach. The shop was open from 2009 – 2015. Flavory also served acai bowls, smoothies, and juices.
• Golden Spoon, 1067 Pacific Coast Hwy, while known for counter-serve froyo, opened as a self-serve shop in Seal Beach in 2013. The shop was open for about a year.
• Yalla Mediterranean, 12420 Seal Beach Blvd., wasn’t a froyo shop but the Mediterranean eatery offered one flavor of Greek froyo, plain, with Greek toppings till the machine broke around 2018 and wasn’t fixed. They closed for good in 2020.

The local Seal Beach Jamba Juice may have offered Whirl’ns frozen yogurt in 2011 but there was no mention of Whirl’ns in reviews.

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