Pinkberry Midtown West
Pinkberry Koreatown
Pinkberry West Village
Fro-yo girl here. I didn’t visit Pinkberry during my recent trip to NYC, but I was surprised to walk by three branches. Each branch had a good number of customers, despite the cold weather. In case you didn’t know, Pinkberry opened its first store in West Hollywood in 2005. In 2006, the first Pinkberry in NYC opened on W 32nd St. in Koreatown. That shop is still in business. It turns twenty this year!
Pinkberry opened 19 branches in NYC, which is more than I realized. It has seven locations that are still operating and twelve that have closed. The Upper West Side had the most locations, with four. The newest branch opened in 2024.

Could it be that NYC loves froyo more than LA? I can count the number of Pinkberry locations left in LA: Beverly Hills, Burbank, Culver City, Marina Del Rey, Monrovia, Northridge, Silver Lake, Studio City, and Torrance. Okay, LA has more, but the ones in LA are much further apart. There’s one Pinkberry in Orange County. All the Pinkberry branches at LAX closed.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
