Froyo Scene in Costa Mesa, CA

Fro-yo girl here. Costa Mesa in Orange County is known for being the home of South Coast Plaza, the largest shopping center on the West Coast. The current population is approximately 106,069 and has been declining in recent years. The median household income was $110,073 in 2023.

There are seven places to get froyo in Costa Mesa today. The oldest of these is Yogurt America’s Cup, which opened in 1987 and is self-serve. It was called America’s Cup when it opened. Five of the seven remaining shops in Costa Mesa are self-serve. 

I found six closed froyo shops in Costa Mesa. Golden Spoon was probably the oldest of the closed shops, though I couldn’t determine the opening date.

I thought there would have been more froyo in town because of South Coast Plaza, but I was wrong.

Current Places To Get Froyo

• Boba Junkie, 2300 Harbor Blvd Suite N-6, opened in 2020. It took over a self-serve boba business and kept the self-serve froyo. Boba Junkie has other locations in the OC, but the Costa Mesa one is the only one with froyo.
