Fro-yo girl here. Tutti Frutti in Artesia, California has a new look and a new name, Go-Go Froyo. I believe the ownership hasn’t changed because they still mention that they’ve been open since 2012 on the new website and they accept the old TF Artesia frequent buyer cards and gift cards. The owners explained why they changed names on their website: “Why the name change? Simply....freedom of choice, freedom to design, freedom to decide the end of High Fructose Corn Syrup frozen yogurt whenever we choose. Why play along to a middle man inflating supplies cost when they provide no artistic creation or input from every day real life workers. When franchisees leave, the brand is all but a dying and fading memory.”
The last Tutti Frutti Artesia reviews were posted in July 2023 and the first Go-Go Froyo review was posted in August 2023. I visited Tutti Frutti Artesia in 2021 and I remember at that time they had a sign that said that they are independently owned and not related to any other Tutti Frutti shop. By that time, Tutti Frutti was no longer providing support to its franchisees.
When I visited Go-Go Froyo, the employee said that the name and décor had changed but everything else was the same as before. It’s still self-serve and the soft serve machines are the same. I liked how they had quite a few tart froyo flavors and tons of toppings, including big brownies, cream puffs, and Hello Panda cookies.
I also saw a case for waffle taco shells, waffle bowls, and waffle nachos for the build-your-own froyo taco and nachos option, but the case was empty. Froyo and toppings are $0.65/oz.
Two other Tutti Frutti locations changed names in 2023. Tutti Frutti, San Carlos is now called Toot Sweet Frozen Yogurt and Tutti Frutti Long Beach is now Frozen Oasis.
