Rise of Photogenic Chinese Popsicles

 




Fro-yo girl here. In the past few years, I’ve noticed that local Asian markets have been carrying a wider variety of Chinese popsicles. Popsicles seem more popular than ice cream pints. I’m not sure why. The flavors and shapes of these imported popsicles are so intriguing.

TaoQi peach ice cream looks like Chinese peaches. It seems to be popular on TikTok. Some popsicles are shaped like animals, buildings, landmarks, flowers, and clothing. Some are even sold individually! Flavors include grape green tea & cheese, peach & oolong, taro, hawthorn, grass jelly, mango sago pomelo, etc. And yes, I've seen froyo ice pops/popsicles, but they're the standard popsicle shape,

I bought a coconut ice pop, imported from China, from 99 Ranch Market. It was under $1.79 for one popsicle. The popsicle looked like four round balls and the top ball had the face of a dog (or bear?). The popsicle was very firm and icy. It had bits of coconut. It was a bit too sweet but cute and inexpensive. It seemed to melt too fast too (and it wasn’t a hot day). I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Many cultural sites (e.g., the Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City) in China are now offering customized ice pops and yes, these are popular with tourists. It’s become popular to post pictures of these popsicles on social media. I wonder who is making these elaborate popsicle molds?

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

Froyo Scene in Encino



Fro-yo girl here. Encino is the home of Menchie’s University, the Menchie’s shop that also serves as the training center for Menchie’s franchisees. It’s also where Menchie's tests new flavors and new products. Yogurtland also has a branch in Encino, directly across the street from Menchie’s. Menchie’s and Yogurtland are the only froyo shops in Encino.

I think Menchie's HQ is also in Encino, though it's listed as Woodland Hills on the Menchie's website. It's Encino according to Google Maps and the building is called Encino Office Plaza.

Encino is an affluent neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County. The current population of 61,012 has a median age of 42, 89% are white collar workers, and median household income is $175,424. In Cobra Kai, Daniel lives in Encino.

Current Froyo Shops


  • Menchie’s, 17245 Ventura Blvd
  • Yogurtland, 17200 Ventura Blvd, Unit 225

Closed Froyo Shops


  • Barenaked/Purenaked Yogurt, 17499 Ventura Blvd, opened in 2007 and closed in 2010. The counter-serve shop had one flavor, plain, and healthy toppings. It was originally called Barenaked Yogurt and had a few locations in the LA area.
  • Tutti Frutti, 16101 Ventura Blvd, was another self-serve froyo chain. The Encino branch opened in 2010 and closed in 2013.
  • Yum Yum Yogurt & Deli, 16545 Ventura Blvd, #21, was an older counter-serve froyo shop that also served sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs. It closed in 2015 and seems to have opened in the 80’s or 90’s.

Still Open But No Longer Serves Froyo


  • The Eatery, 16133 Ventura Blvd, is a bakery cafĂ© that opened in 2019. They carried Pinkberry for a short while in 2019.

Did I miss any froyo shops in Encino? Let me know.

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

Yoga-urt Granada Hills Opens






Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt Granada Hills opened for business at 2 PM today, July 23. It’s the fourth Yoga-urt location and the first franchise location. The owners are Granada Hills residents and Yoga-urt fanatics (obviously). The offerings are similar to the other locations: vegan, organic soft serve made from scratch, smoothies, floats, froyo sandwiches, froyo popsicles, etc.

You’ll find six froyo flavors a day. The flavors on opening day were Chocolate Bliss, Peanut Butter Prana, Strawberry Serenity, Vanilla Harmony, Salted Caramel Zen, and Green Tea Tranquility. All the flavors are amazing and proprietary.

Yoga-urt soft serve is vegan, kosher, soy free, gluten-free, all-natural, probiotic, hand-crafted, small batch, and made on site. The gluten-free cones and sauces are also made in-house with proprietary recipes. For toppings, choose from fresh fruit, mochi, sprinkles, nuts, granola, coconut, mulberries, cacao nibs, and housemade sauces.

Froyo prices: Mini $6.75/ Small $8.75/ Medium $11.25/ Large $13

The purple walls, inspirational quotes, and hearts remind me of the Kenneth Village shop. Very cute.

They plan to have a grand opening celebration on August 3. Save the date! More details to be revealed later.

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

Yogurtland Opens on Third Street Promenade in Downtown Santa Monica

 






Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland recently opened a new store at 1321 Third Street Promenade in downtown Santa Monica. It’s not that far from the other Yogurtland at 304 Santa Monica Blvd.

I visited the Yogurtland on Santa Monica Blvd. in 2021 and had a terrible experience. It was obvious that they were not maintaining the froyo machines. The froyo was disgusting. To add insult to injury, it was $0.99/oz. Naturally, I wasn’t excited to hear about the new location.

Like other Yogurtland locations, you'll find 16 self-serve froyo flavors a day and toppings. However, the price is much higher (it's a touristy area) at $1.32/oz (compared to $0.70 at the average YL). The soft serve machines are new and the shop looks nice since it's new. They've abandoned the square green tiles in favor of faux wood.

Interestingly, the new shop is already for sale.

"This newly built YOGURTLAND FRANCHISE, featuring all new equipment, is situated in a prime location in Santa Monica, CA. Specifications:

Size: Approximately 1,400 sq. ft.

Rent: $17,350 per month, including NNN (Triple Net Lease)

Lease Term: Until March 30, 2033, with two additional 5-year renewal options."

The Santa Monica Blvd. shop is expected to close in October. The new location hasn't had a grand opening yet.

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

Smorgasburg LA 2024 Ice Cream Alley Report







Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Ice Cream Day! Today was also the first day of Ice Cream Alley, the annual ice cream event at Smorgasburg LA. Ice Cream Alley is a pop-up that brings together ice cream and frozen dessert vendors.

Vendors:

  • Sad Girl Creamery: ice cream with Latin flavors
  • Happy Ice: Philly water ice
  • Kinrose Creamery
  • 626 Hospitality: Asian ice cream
  • Nobuko Shave Ice: Japanese style shave ice
  • El Churro
  • Wanderlust Creamery: ice cream inspired by global flavors
  • Moom Maam: Thai gelato
  • New Mexican shaved ice vendor

I’ve tried most of the vendors, except for the shaved ice ones (I don’t care for shaved ice). Nothing seemed that different from previous years, which isn’t saying that there wasn’t good ice cream. I tried Moom Maam this year and it was very good. There wasn’t any froyo.

Ice Cream Alley takes place on Sundays through 9/1.

SMORGSABURG LA: ROW DTLA, 777 Alameda St., Los Angeles

Gentle Yogurt Oreos Review

 




Fro-yo girl here. Replicant Shell had imported yogurt candy and imported OREO yogurt cookies. One box of OREO gentle yogurt cookies is 97 grams and priced at $4.99. The box contains two pouches. Each pouch has five Oreos. The cookies are imported from China.

The yogurt OREO looks like your typical OREO, though some of the OREOs had a different design stamped onto the chocolate cookie. The cookies definitely smell different. They smell like Yakult. The cookie is thin and crispy. It seems crispier, less sweet, and less chocolatey than the American OREOs. The cream part is tangy like Yakult. I didn’t like it because I don’t like Yakult. Also, there’s a powdery quality to the yogurt flavor.

You can purchase Gentle Yogurt OREOs purchased online, at Order Exotic Snacks.

Replicant Shell, 290 S Arroyo Pkwy, Pasadena, CA 91105

Free Froyo Descendants Event at Menchie’s


Fro-yo girl here. Thanks to Disney+, Descendants: The Rise of Red, and Menchie’s for today’s free froyo event. I went to Menchie’s in Burbank, CA, for the event, and I was impressed by how organized they were. There were two employees and they handed out slips of paper to the first 50 guests. There was quite a crowd, so you had to pretty much be there before or right around 3 PM to be one of the first fifty.

Descendants: The Rise of Red is streaming now.

The Frenchy Gourmet Kefir Yogurt Review




Fro-yo girl here. The Frenchy Gourmet had a stand at the Niles Farmers Market, which is held on Saturdays in Niles Fremont. They sell “French style kefir yogurt” that’s high in protein, high in probiotics, low in carbs, and made with lactose-reduced milk. There are over 20 different flavors, including Nutella, vanilla, lemon, strawberry, fig, guava, white chocolate, mango, mixed berry, etc. The stand also provides free samples. One tub was $8.

The vendor said that no sugar was added. The list of ingredients was short: cultured cream, milk, nonfat milk, ultra-filtered lactose-reduced nonfat dry milk, enzymes, chopped blueberry). He said they used to have sheep’s milk yogurt five years ago but discontinued it. All the yogurt is made with cow’s milk now. There was no nutritional information in sight. The address in Sacramento is the address of a shared commercial kitchen.

Blueberry kefir yogurt: very thick, smooth, creamy, with chopped blueberry blended throughout. It’s thicker than Greek yogurt. It is very good, decadent even (because of the cream?). It’s sour and tangy. It's so good and different from mass-produced, store-bought yogurt that you have to wonder what's in there. 

The lack of information reminded me of Bonjour Yogurt, which sells a similar product at farmers' markets in Southern California. LAist has a great article about the ingredients used in Bonjour. I also had a few comments on my Bonjour blog post from people who sell Bonjour. Here’s an interesting one:

“I sell bonjour yogurt and I’ve been selling it for about five years…people ask us a lot of questions about it and I sell it as honest as I can. I do not know what is in it exactly I could only say what’s on the label, but I do know that they add Stevia water or Stevia leaf honey molasses apart from that I do not know what is added.”

I also spotted some savory items for sale: cheese, dips, olives, and pita chips.

The Frenchy Gourmet can be found at other farmers' markets in the Bay Area. Check their IG @thefrenchygourmet for a current list of markets.

SweetFrog Has One Location Left West of Texas

 

SweetFrog Palmdale, CA


Fro-yo girl here. If you’ve been wanting to try SweetFrogSweetFrog and live or visit the West Coast, you should know that SweetFrog has one location left on the West Coast and it’s in Victorville, Caliifornia, 90 miles northeast of Los Angeles, north of the San Bernardino mountains on the edge of the Mojave Desert. SweetFrog Victorville opened in 2015.

There were four other SweetFrog shops in California. The shops were in Camarillo, Lancaster, Palmdale, and Riverside. Riverside had the first SweetFrog shop in California.

  • SweetFrog, 5225 Canyon Crest Dr, STE 90, Riverside, CA 92507, opened in 2012 and closed in 2019. It was the first SweetFrog that I ever visited in 2015.
  • SweetFrog, 2306 Las Posas Rd Ste C, Camarillo, Suite C, Camarillo, CA 93010, was the fifth SweetFrog location in California. It opened in 2015 and closed in 2019.
  • SweetFrog, 44758 Valley Central Way, Lancaster, CA 93536 opened in 2014. The name of the shop was changed to Sweet Bunnies Frozen Yogurt in 2023.
  • SweetFrog, 38029 E 47th Ave Ste A, Palmdale, CA 93552, opened in 2013 and closed in 2023.

There are no other SweetFrog shops west of Texas.

iCream Showroom and Pinkberry Vending Machine Update

iCream showroom

Pinkberry vending machine in Koreatown


Fro-yo girl here. The “closing” of the Pinkberry vending machine at The Shops at Santa Anita in Arcadia, CA, sparked my curiosity about the other Pinkberry vending machines. The first installation was at the Cabazon Outlets in March 2022.

Posted reviews claim that the machine no longer works:

  • “Took my 20. No refund and no ice cream. Hang up after making a phone call and never answer the phone again.”
  • “Scam machine, paid money and no yogurt. Website is dead and they’re not answering their phone.”
  • “Scam !!!!! you pay and no yogurt”

The Beverly Center machines are marked as temporarily closed by Google.

The Ontario Airport machines are not listed on the airport website. Other vending machines are listed on the airport website.

The Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks does not list the vending machine, although other vending machines are listed on the mall website.

Pacific View Mall, Ventura: The mall website does not list the vending machine

Westfield Topanga: There is no mention of the vending machine on the mall website

The iCream showroom is still there but it was closed on a weekday afternoon (it was dark inside and the door was locked). There were five vending machines inside, wrapped in tarps. The showroom was supposed to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Koreatown was the most recent installation. It was installed in July 2023. Less than a year later, it’s still at Koreatown Plaza but the machine was turned off. There was a new Sprinkles Cupcake vending machine next to the Pinkberry vending machine last July and that's no longer there either.

Go Greek Yogurt Opens in Studio City, CA

 





Fro-yo girl here. Go Greek Yogurt announced the opening of their new shop at The Center at Coldwater in Studio City, CA, on June 26 on Instagram. The shop has been open for a few weeks prior to the Instagram post. They might have a grand opening celebration in the future.

The shop features six flavors of self-serve froyo a day with toppings for $1.25/oz, smoothies, and handcrafted Greek yogurt with sweet and savory toppings. The Greek yogurt comes in a variety of flavors like rose, strawberry, and Greek honey.

According to the Instagram post, “Swing by on or before July 10, 2024 and get 15% off your next order when you mention code STUDIOCITY15. *Limited to one-time use only.” The cashier did not know about the code. I've encountered this issue multiple times at different Go Greek locations. 

While the froyo was rich, smooth and flavorful and the toppings healthier than usual, it is very expensive at $1.25. Also, the fruit doesn’t appear to be organic, and the toppings options have gotten worse (they no longer offer Greek toppings like they used to or even flaxseeds).

Even worse, they do not allow any sampling. This seems stupid to me because why would you want someone to get a cup of yogurt that they don’t like if they could sample it first and make an informed decision. If they’re concerned about sample abuse, they could have the employee dispense the samples.

But the plain tart is excellent. It tastes like yogurt and it’s so creamy. The blood orange flavor was too strong, to the point where I could not really taste the yogurt (although it was vegan and I'm not sure it was vegan yogurt).
