Froyo Scene in Brentwood, CA




Fro-yo girl here. Since I discovered that Antioch, CA, had no froyo shops, I also discovered that the froyo shops are in neighboring Brentwood. Brentwood is also in Contra Costa County, and it has a population of 65,126. The city is known for its agricultural products and farming. The median household income is $144,484, higher than Antioch’s, and the mean age is 39.6 years.

Brentwood has two froyo shops, one eatery that serves froyo, and one froyo truck. I found six closed froyo shops and many of those were open for over ten years.

Current Froyo Shops


  • Menchie’s, 2530 Sand Creek Rd Unit B-2, opened in 2011 at Sand Creek Crossing.
  • Cool Spot Frozen Yogurt, 390 W Country Club Dr, Suite B, opened in 2016. It’s a locally-owned, non-franchise, self-serve froyo shop that also sells cookies, nachos, stuffed pretzels, churros, milkshakes, coffee, slushes, dog froyo, etc. They have another location in Brentwood that serves hand-scooped ice cream and doesn’t have froyo.
  • Cool Spot launched a froyo truck in 2022.
  • Nick the Greek, 5601 Lone Tree Way, opened in 2021. It is a fast casual Greek franchise that offers Greek froyo.

Closed Froyo Shops


  • iYogurt, 6560 Lone Tree Wy, opened in 2010 and closed in 2024. It was a self-serve froyo shop that also offered gelato and boba drinks.
  • TCBY, 4431 Balfour Rd, was open a long time ago, but I’m not sure when.
  • Yogurt Jungle, 761 2nd St, was a froyo shop that opened in 2010 and closed in 2012.
  • Yogurt Pizazz, 3860 Balfour Rd, was a self-serve froyo shop that opened in 2009 and closed in 2023. This was their first location.
  • Yogurt Pizazz, 2455 Sand Creek Rd, was the second location. It opened in 2010 and closed in 2020.
  • Yogurtland, 5411 Lone Tree Way Ste 130, opened in 2017 and closed in September 2022. It changed ownership before closing.

Did I miss any froyo shops? If so, let me know.

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