Froyo in Brentwood, Los Angeles

Fro-yo girl here. Years ago, I used to live in Brentwood, a neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles. This was long before the froyo craze. When I lived in Brentwood, there was no froyo in the neighborhood. Even back then, it was one of the most desirable neighborhoods in LA. Most of the shops and restaurants are on San Vicente Blvd. The current population of the neighborhood is 35,853.

Since Yogurtland closed earlier this year, there’s just one place to get froyo now in Brentwood: The Yogurt Shoppe, 11726 Barrington Ct. in Brentwood Village. The Yogurt Shoppe Brentwood opened in 2016. Their first shop was in Pacific Palisades and it’s still open. Actress Marcia Gay Harden was one of the owners. They just took over the Menchie's location on Ocean Park in Santa Monica. The Yogurt Shoppe is self-serve.

Former Froyo Shops

• Brentwood Yogurt Café, 11677 San Vicente Blvd, Ste 300, mix-in style froyo opened in 2007, closed in 2010
• Moo Greek, 11753 San Vicente Blvd, was inspired by a traditional Greek yogurteria. They served fresh Greek and frozen Greek yogurt. They opened in 2016 and closed in 2016. It reminded me of Go Greek.
• Pinkberry, 11711 Gorham Ave, opened in 2007 and closed in 2016. Reese Witherspoon, Courtney Thorne-Smith, and Heidi Klum were spotted getting froyo there.
• TCBY, 11740 San Vicente Blvd, existed but I’m not sure when it opened or closed. I would have noticed it if it were open when I lived the neighborhood in the late 90’s.
• Twist, 11870 Santa Monica Blvd, was a self-serve froyo shop that opened in 2008 and closed in 2015. I remember they had many flavors of mochi back when most people only had plain mochi.
• Yogurtland, 11706 San Vicente Blvd, opened across the street from Pinkberry in 2010 and closed in 2023.

Did I miss any Brentwood froyo shops? Let me know.

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