Nick the Greek Bringing Greek Froyo Throughout California

Fro-yo girl here. While I was feeling sad about how mini chain, Yalla Mediterranean, stopped offering Greek froyo, I was reminded that the Nick the Greek franchise has been growing throughout California. A new Nick the Greek location opened in Ventura on May 23, 2020.

Nick the Greek was established in 2014 by three cousins, all named Nick, and all 2nd generation Greeks. The authentic Greek fare served in a fast casual setting. The specialities are souvlaki and gyros. The first location opened in downtown San Jose. They added Greek froyo in 2018 at one location in San Jose and now offer it at all their locations. They offer one flavor, plain Greek frozen yogurt. You can get it plain or with honey and baklava. I hope they’ll offer a smaller size in the future. The current size is huge.

Nick the Greek currently has 13 locations; 11 of the 13 are in the Bay Area. The Ventura location is their first in Southern California.

The locations and the year they opened are:

• Downtown San Jose, 2014
• Almaden Expressway, San Jose, 2015
• Sunnyvale, 2016
• Willow Glen, San Jose, 2016
• Santa Teresa, San Jose, 2016
• King Road, San Jose, 2016
• Redwood City, 2017
• Stevens Creek, San Jose, 2018
• Morgan Hill, 2019
• Santa Cruz, 2019
• San Carlos, 2019
• Santa Clara, 2019
• Ventura, 2020

According to the Nick the Greek website, future locations will be opening in:

• Gilroy
• Mountain View
• Napa
• Newport Beach
• San Diego
• South San Francisco
• Union City

I can't wait to eat Greek froyo from the new locations! They also make loukoumades, Greek donuts. Donuts & froyo!

Cup O’Tea Has Closed in Menlo Park

Fro-yo girl here. For completeness, I wanted to mention that Cup O’Tea, which replaced Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt in late 2018, has closed its doors for good. It lasted a little over a year. Cup O’Tea kept Tutti Frutti’s froyo machines, signs, and cups. They offered self-serve froyo, milk tea, other drinks and snacks.

The last real review was three months ago on Google and November 2019 on Yelp. There was a subsequent review a month ago, but it just said that they’re never open. They never finished their website or had a social media presence.

Blush Dublin for Sale

Fro-yo girl here. Back during the early days of this blog, I used to go to and write about Blush Dublin all the time. It was the very first Blush location and it opened in 2008. I was there for the opening of Blush in Walnut Creek, San Francisco, Milpitas, and Burlingame. Jonathan Rim, who founded Blush, was super passionate about frozen yogurt and he created amazing froyo flavors. My favorites were pumpkin, green tea tart, blush, original tart and pomegranate. I hadn’t been back to the Dublin location in a few years because I moved to Southern California and Dublin was quite far from my father’s house.

I went back to Blush Dublin last December and asked about Jonathan. The employee didn’t know who he was. That’s when I found out that he sold the business. And now it’s for sale again. I came across the listing on BizBuySell. The lease expires next year. Sad. I still miss Blush’s froyo.

Pacifica Gets Its First Froyo Shop as Fog City Yogurt Opens

Fro-yo girl here. Can you believe that Pacifica, the small coastal city 15 miles south of San Francisco, didn’t have a froyo shop till recently? With a population of 39,000, it might not be so surprising. Half Moon Bay has had multiple froyo shops and the population there is 12,000. Anyway, things seem to be looking up in Pacifica.

Fog City Yogurt opened in late October, a block from City Hall. The shop is very small but the building is older, so there’s not much room for more soft serve machines. The yogurt is self-serve and there are two Taylor dual hopper machines with four flavors on tap. The yogurt and toppings are 45 cents an ounce.

During my visit, the flavors were Chocolate, Vanilla, Orchard Cherry, and Cookies N Cream. The flavor choice seems very safe and conventional but with only two machines, it makes sense to offer the basic flavors. There were no dairy-free, low carb, no sugar added alternatives during my visit.

The toppings bar was small with limited options, including candy, cookies, sprinkles, nuts, mochi, chocolate chips, cereal, canned fruit, and syrups. None of the fruit was fresh fruit, which is disappointing.

The vanilla yogurt tasted fine and it had good texture (thick and smooth). It tasted like soft serve ice cream, actually.

The shop also offers gelato, coffee, soda and chips. It’s family oriented and meant to appeal to local kids looking for a snack after school. The décor is minimal and there’s no place for customers to sit inside. For a small town yogurt shop, it’s fine. I’m used to much more variety though.

3 out of 5 stars.

Plain Greek Frozen Yogurt at Nick the Greek, Morgan Hill Location Opens on February 1

Fro-yo girl here. Late last year, some locations of Nick the Greek started offering Greek frozen yogurt. It’s offered at their San Jose location near Bascom, Willow Glen location and the brand new location in Morgan Hill. Once I heard about the froyo, I knew that I had to go.

I visited the location in San Jose off Bascom. They had one kind of frozen yogurt, plain Greek frozen yogurt. You can get it plain ($4.95) or with honey and baklava ($5.95). There were no other toppings. I like how they keep it simple, but the portion was too large for a snack and there’s only one size offered.

* Plain Greek frozen yogurt w/ baklava and honey: I admired the care that went into this cup of froyo. I think honey was added to the bottom and sides of the cup, then froyo was added till the cup was half full, next baklava was added, more froyo was added, and the creation was finished off with more baklava crumbles and honey. The baklava was excellent – moist, chewy, with cinnamon and chopped walnuts. There was a generous amount of baklava, froyo, and honey. The honey made some of the froyo parfait pretty sweet, but the frozen yogurt itself was not as sweet as usual. The texture wasn’t optimal – it wasn’t that smooth and it melted fast, but I did like the flavor – uncomplicated, not too sweet, less processed tasting, tangy with a hint of sourness. The texture was denser than Souvla’s and more creamy than icy. It certainly wasn’t watery and I didn’t find it too icy, but it could have been smoother.

Nick the Greek was established in 2014 by three cousins, all named Nick, and 2nd generation Greeks. The mini chain currently has 10 locations in the Bay Area. The authentic Greek fare served in a fast casual setting. The specialities are souvlaki and gyros. I’d definitely like to see more locations open and they’d better have froyo.

The Morgan Hill Location is having a grand opening celebration on February 1. Lunch will be free from 12 PM-3PM (but not froyo, I think). The address is 632 Tennant Station, Morgan Hill, CA 95037.

Future Fro-yo Shop Pictures: Snowy Frozen Yogurt in Petaluma, CA

Fro-yo girl here. My best froyo tipster and ambassador, SS, has come through with froyo news yet again. A new shop will be opening soon in Plaza North Shopping Center, Petaluma, CA. It’s called Snowy and the sign indicates that they’ll have froyo and snow ice.

My tipster says Snowy should open very soon. The business doesn’t seem to have an online or social media presence yet.

Nubi Yogurt Closes Last Bay Area Locations

Fro-yo girl here. Nubi Yogurt started in SoCal with a location in Apple Valley, CA (San Bernardino County) that opened in February 2008. Their first Bay Area location opened in Millbrae in June 2008. At one point, Nubi Yogurt had 6 locations in the Bay Area, including:

• Millbrae 
• San Mateo 
• San Francisco (West Portal) 
• San Francisco (Mission) 
• San Leandro 
• San Jose 

The last two locations to close were Millbrae and San Francisco (16th St., Mission). The Nubi Yogurt owners also own Ono Hawaiian BBQ which now has 73 locations. Back in the good old days, I could get lunch at Ono on Sloat and the receipt included a coupon for Nubi, which was located in the same shopping center. Nubi receipts sometimes had Ono coupons. Nubi Millbrae always seemed to be busy.

There was never a Ono/Nubi combined location, to my knowledge, even though Ono should at least serve Dole Whip? I heard from a Nubi employee that the yogurt business just wasn’t as profitable, so the owners were focused on growing Ono. I quite liked their Original Tart flavor.

Nubi Yogurt still has locations in Apple Valley, Redlands, and Moreno Valley, CA.

Celebrating the Ninth Blogiversary

Fro-yo girl here. Today, Fro-yo Girl Speaks, my blog, turns nine. So much has happened since October 2008, including the waxing and waning of frozen yogurt itself. Only two of the top 10 froyo shops that I named in October 2008 are still open. The number of froyo shops that have closed far outnumbers the ones that are still open, but nine years is a long time. On a positive note, very few Menchie’s and Yogurtland locations have closed in the Bay Area. And, froyo is now an official word in the Merriam Webster dictionary.

I still have many froyo shops to visit in Southern California and I’m happy to see that there are high quality, independent shops like Yoga-urt in Glendale, CA and Go Greek. Yes, I miss my Bay Area froyo shops, but I feel like Souvla’s froyo has inspired other restaurants across the country, including Spread Kitchen in downtown LA, GRK Fresh Kitchen, Kentro in Fullerton, CA, Kali (new) in Palo Alto, CA, Yalla, and Greko in Nashville, TN. These eateries only offer one flavor of froyo, plain, with gourmet Greek inspired toppings.

After all, plain frozen yogurt is still one of the best if not the best, flavor available. I like the simplicity of this new wave of Greek froyo, with the emphasis on quality over quantity. Will it have wide appeal? Probably not, but it will appeal to those who appreciate the true taste of yogurt and it seems fitting, since original tart yogurt is what started wave 2 of the froyo frenzy. It’s not gimmicky, like activated charcoal froyo, 24K gold froyo, unicorn froyo, froyo rolls, or liquid nitrogen froyo, but it’s just great froyo.

If you love frozen yogurt, be sure to join the International Frozen Yogurt Association, the association that I founded in 2013. It’s free to join. The monthly enewsletter is also free and will deliver froyo industry news to your inbox.

Thank you so much to my fans and readers and keep eating frozen yogurt!

Yogofina Elmwood in Berkeley, CA Closes

Fro-yo girl here. My froyo tipster reports that Yogofina Elmwood (Berkeley, CA) is now permanently closed. There’s a for lease sign in the window.

The shop first opened in September 2016. There were only four reviews on Yelp and three of the reviewers rated it 1 star, the other rated it 2 stars. People complained that the yogurt was too sweet and artificial tasting.

Eighth Blogiversary of Fro-Yo Girl Speaks

Fro-yo girl here. Fro-yo Girl speaks turns 8 years old today, October 20, 2016. I’m still living in Southern California and going to different frozen yogurt shops. There are still way too many shops for me to get to all of them, though of course I’ve been to all the shops within a 20 minute drive. The shops downtown are more challenging to get to with the heat and the lack of parking.

Traveling and moving have allowed me to directly observe that frozen yogurt is much more popular in Southern California. It’s a lot warmer here and it’s warm-to-hot all year. While some froyo shops are closing, even more are still opening (believe it or not). There are fewer new shops opening in Northern California.

San Francisco is an odd city – it doesn’t have a big chain frozen yogurt shop, except Pinkberry. Yogen Fruz and Yogurtland used to have shops there. There aren’t many Menchie’s locations in the Bay Area. They’re not in San Francisco or Palo Alto. Of course both places have high rents.

The last time I visited San Francisco and had froyo at my favorite places, I was alarmed that several of them are no longer as good as they used to be. This definitely saddens me.

I’m always asked for froyo shop recommendations. My current recommendations are the following:

• Souvla (San Francisco, CA – various locations): Their simple Greek housemade frozen yogurt is delicious and refreshing. It also pairs well with their short selection of toppings. I recommend the housemade baklava and sour cherry syrup. Their salads are simple but so good too.
• Yoga-urt (1407 W Kenneth Rd., Glendale, CA): I didn’t know about Kenneth Village till Yoga-urt opened a little over a year ago. Their non-dairy, organic frozen yogurt is amazing – rich, creamy, with probiotics. It’s Mr. Froyo’s favorite place. I do miss the tang of cow milk yogurt that nut based milk yogurt doesn’t have but I appreciate the quality and flavors at Yoga-urt.
• Go Greek Yogurt (Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar): Their yogurt is imported from Greece and it does taste different. They make their frozen yogurt with that Greek yogurt and it’s a rich, indulgent treat. I love that they have Greek toppings too. Try the rose preserve.
• Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams (1954 Hillhurst Ave., Los Angeles): For the best scoopable frozen yogurt, head to Jeni's in Los Feliz. While Jeni's is known for ice cream, their biodynamic frozen yogurt is even better than their ice cream. The frozen yogurt bursts with tangy flavor.

Lately I’ve been obsessed with plain tart frozen yogurt with housemade baklava at Souvla. Housemade toppings are such a treat!

2014 Bay Area Froyo Year in Review

Fro-yo girl here. It’s time to look about at the year in froyo in the Bay Area. Since I’ve moved to SoCal, this will be the last Bay Area yearly review.

Closings slightly outpaced openings. Most of the openings occurred in the South Bay (San Jose area), followed by San Francisco openings. New froyo shops continued to replace old ones (e.g., Pure Yum, Yogurt in Love, Over the Moon). With two new San Jose locations opening in 2014, Yogurtland has the most locations in the Bay Area of any chain. They plan to open a location in Mountain View, CA soon. Red Mango opened a location at the San Jose International Airport last month.

Bay Area Openings 

• Easy Breezy Inner Sunset (San Francisco)
• Fusion Mix (Fremont)
• Honeyberry (Oakland)
• Loving Cup Hayes Valley (San Francisco)
• Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt (Oakridge Mall, San Jose & Dublin)
• Over the Moon Ice Cream & Cookies (2 locations, they took over Yogorino’s SF locations and kept the yogurt machines, and they still serve froyo)
• Pure Yum (Fremont, former FreshBerry location)
• Red Mango (San Jose International Airport)
• Souvla (San Francisco)
• YoDo Yogurt (Campbell)
• Yogurt in Love (Los Gatos)
• Yogurtland Brokaw, Cambrian Park, Cottle Rd. (San Jose)
• Yogurtland (Morgan Hill)

Most of the closings occurred in San Jose. Notable closings include Yogurt Delite’s two locations in San Jose. Both locations survived for decades. Tuttimelon closed its flagship Irving St. location (they moved from the original location on Irving St. to a larger location – the larger location closed) and one of its earliest locations on Chestnut St. in San Francisco. Icebee was the earliest self-serve shops in SF and it recently closed. Yogen Fruz opened its first location in the Bay Area at the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco in early 2008, that location closed this year. Tutti Frutti closed several locations this year. The shops that closed were diverse – some were new self-serve shops and others had been around for decades. Some sold froyo only and others like Next Door Sweets and Good Bellies had many offerings plus froyo.

Bay Area Closings

• Cultive (San Francisco)
• Fro-Yo Shoppe (Mountain View)
• Froyo Delight (San Jose)
• Gaga Yogurt (San Jose)
• Good Bellies (Oakland)
• Icebee (San Francisco & San Jose)
• Next Door Sweets (San Francisco)
• Tuttimelon Chestnut St. & Irving St. (San Francisco)
• Tutti Frutti Oak Grove & Palos Verdes Mall (Walnut Creek)
• Tutti Frutti (Milpitas)
• Tutti Frutti Silver Creek (San Jose)
• Yogen Fruz (San Francisco)
• Yogurt Delite (Blossom Valley & Meridian, San Jose)
• Yogurt Village (San Jose)
• Yogurt Walk (Dublin)
• Yotopia (San Francisco)

More froyo shops are on the way in 2015.

Future Openings

• Easy Breezy Castro (San Francisco)
• Yogurtland (Mountain View)

2013 Year End Bay Area Fro-yo Wrap Up

Fro-yo girl here. Goodbye 2013...it’s that time to look back at the year that was in the Bay Area.

Bay Area closings: Yogorino (both locations in SF), YoCup (both SF locations), Yogurt Circle, Yoppi Yogurt Palo Alto, Yogen Fruz Novato, U Love Yogurt, Tuttimelon Burlingame, Tutti Frutti Berkeley, Tutti Frutti Oakland Chinatown, Sweet Sundays, Harmony Frozen Yogurt, Blush SF

Yogorino is no longer available in the Bay Area...or on the West Coast. Very sad. Harmony Frozen Yogurt was one of the first tart froyo shops in the Bay Area. YoCup was also an early Bay Area tart froyo shop but the quality was significantly worse after it was sold to new owners. Fortunately, Blush still has other locations. 

Tutti Frutti Berkeley and Yoppi Yogurt Palo Alto's locations weren't open long. Tutti Frutti was replaced by Honeyberry which has the worst froyo. 

Bay Area openings: Yogurtland Fremont, Yogurtland Pinole, Yumi Yogurt Hillsdale Mall, Tutti Frutti Montclair Village, Swifty Sweets, Red Mango Palo Alto, Pizza Bello, Pinkberry Walnut Creek, Menchie’s Berkeley, Menchie’s Fremont, Mega Walgreens SF, La Luna Cupcakes, Coffee Cultures, Almaden Yogurt Factory  

Scoop Microcreamery in Palo Alto opened this year and offered froyo made with liquid nitrogen for about a month but they stopped offering froyo. Back in October, Tuttimelon Burlingame changed from selling froyo to selling liquid nitrogen ice cream as Cryo Cream (the ownership is the same...Tuttimelon has been selling liquid nitrogen ice cream in Hong Kong for months), Honeyberry keeps opening new locations - some have froyo and some don’t. Swifty Sweets launched in April and is the Bay Area’s only froyo truck.

I had some memorable cups of froyo outside the Bay Area in 2013. If you're in NYC, be sure to check out Culture: An American Yogurt Company which has locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. They make their fresh and frozen yogurt in house. Go Greek Yogurt in Beverly Hills flies in super thick authentic Greek yogurt from Greece. They offer fresh and frozen yogurt. I had my first froyo taco at A Tea Yogurt in downtown Alhambra, CA.

Yogorino Closes SF Locations

Fro-yo girl here. It’s a sad time for Bay Area froyo. I just learned that Yogorino closed its two SF locations (Marina, Embarcadero) late last month (10/27?). I walked by the Embarcadero location hoping to get some frozen yogurt. The hours weren’t posted and it didn’t say it was closed for good, but the blue cups were no longer visible. The phone number is no longer in service.

I remember when they opened in 2011 with the tagline “the best tasting yogurt in the world.” Yogorino had unique, high quality Italian style frozen yogurt with an extra creamy, light texture and Italian dessert sauces. It was the favorite of Mr. Froyo. We are saddened by the loss of such quality frozen yogurt and will miss Yogorino. They still have locations in NYC and Philadelphia.

Happy 3rd Blogiversary

Fro-yo girl here. It’s a special day for Fro-Yo Girl Speaks - the 3rd blogiversary! That means three years of heavy fro-yo consumption and fro-yo obsession. Thank you so much to my readers and supporters, as well as to anyone out there who supports the fro-yo industry.

These are the questions that I’m asked the most often:

* What inspired you to start your blog? I wanted to try every fro-yo shop in the Bay Area. Writing reviews wasn’t enough because I’d learn things that didn’t fit in a review format. Having the blog gives me more freedom to discuss fro-yo industry trends and events.
* Are you ever fro-yoed out? I do experience fluctuations in fro-yo desire but I never let myself have a break from fro-yo. It’s important to me to keep up with fro-yo and that means fro-yo consumption.
* Do you want to own your own fro-yo store? Not at all. It’s so much more fun to see what others are doing fro-yo wise and stay independent and unbiased.
* Do you own a fro-yo machine? No, I do not and I’ve never made fro-yo. Why bother when I can bring home fro-yo from my favorite fro-yo shops?

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

Fro-yo Girl Speaks Blogiversary

Fro-yo girl here. Fro-Yo Girl Speaks turns 1 today (10/20). And I’m answering questions from my readers.

Q: How did you get started?
FG: I fell in love with tart fro-yo the first time I tried it. At the time there weren’t that many fro-yo shops in the Bay Area, so I figured I could review all of them. However, new stores kept opening (and they’re still opening)…I still haven’t been to them all. I like being thorough and systematic, so I’m still on my quest.

Q: Why do you call yourself fro-yo girl?
FG: My favorite show is Gossip Girl!

Q: Who is fro-yo boy?
FG: Matt G. We’re married but not to each other. He loves fro-yo too (obviously).

Q: How do you have time to go to so many fro-yo places?
FG: It takes discipline. I visit at least two new places a week. I also look for fro-yo places any time I know I’m going to be in the area for other reasons. Sometimes this means going to several fro-yo places in one day.

Q: How do you know about so many fro-yo places?
FG: Initially it was harder. I’d ask at the fro-yo shops, research places online, friend people on Yelp who liked fro-yo, and just drive by places that I thought would be good for fro-yo. I’m getting more tips now from random people, friends and fro-yo shop owners.

Q: Do you want to open a fro-yo shop? Do you work for or own a fro-yo shop?
FG: No, I don’t work for a fro-yo shop or own one. I have zero interest in opening a fro-yo shop. I don’t think I could come up with better fro-yo than what’s out there and it’s more fun for me to try different places.

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