new SWRLIES trailer
Fro-yo girl here. Fro-Yo Girl Speaks turns seventeen today, and I’m taking a moment to reflect on the year in froyo so far. There’s been much talk about the resurgence of froyo, particularly among Gen Z. I do see that Yogurtland on Lake in Pasadena is usually busy at night, and I’ve been surprised by the groups of teens who visit Pinkberry after school without their parents. Most of my froyo friends rarely get froyo these days.
I'm a regular at Yogurtland, Menchie's, Pinkberry, and Yoga-urt. I also like to get froyo from Pita GR, Go Greek, and Anita Gelato.
I’ve tried five brand new froyo shops and trailers this year, fewer than this time last year. These were Go Greek Newport Beach, Nick the Greek North Hollywood (not a froyo shop, but serves Greek froyo), SWRLIES in Highland Park, Golden Spoon in Laguna Beach, and Neptune’s Frozen Treats in Palos Verdes Estates. I made it to one opening day (not the grand opening, though) for Neptune’s Frozen Treats in Rancho Palos Verdes. There have been other new froyo shops, but they’ve mostly been in the OC and San Diego.
I’ve collected eight new froyo spoons (vs. nine last year).
I haven’t been on any froyo trips this year, but I’m heading somewhere next month for froyo. I also went to Vancouver, Canada, last December and had some excellent froyo at Krave Kulture and Killer Ice Cream.
While there haven’t been that many froyo shop openings in Los Angeles County, I did find lots of new froyo at supermarkets, including Chara Greek froyo, Le Zette (sheep’s milk froyo), TruJoy (Greek froyo), and Kri Kri (imported from Greece). Yasso even brought back their spoonable pints.
Salt & Straw came out with Wildflower Honey & Lemon Chess Pie Froyo this summer. I could barely taste the lemon, and there wasn’t much tang, so I was disappointed.
Cantaloop and Frog Frozen Yogurt closed after 17 and 13 years in Hollywood, respectively.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
