Fro-yo girl here. With Cuppa Yo opening in Danville in March, I decided to take a look at the history of froyo in Danville, CA. Danville is located in Contra Costa County, about 30 miles east of San Francisco. The current population of 44,000 residents has a median age of 45.4 years and a median household income over $230,000. It was recently ranked #1 by SafeWise’s California’s Safest Cities of 2026 report.
I found two current froyo shops, both self-serve, and a Greek casual chain that offers frozen yogurt. The three froyo shops that closed were all self-serve franchise concepts. Tutti Frutti was the first self-serve froyo shop in Danville.
Places to Get Froyo
- Cuppa Yo, 730 Camino Ramon Suite 190, opened March 2026. It is part of a self-serve frozen yogurt franchise founded in Bend, Oregon.
- Nick the Greek, 121 Hartz Ave, opened in 2023. It is a fast casual Greek café with many locations, Greek froyo served
- Yogurt Shack, 290 Hartz Ave, is an outpost of a local self-serve chain. It opened in 2016, replacing Danville Desserts
Closed Froyo Shops
- Tutti Frutti, 37 Railroad Ave, a branch of the multi-national self-serve chain, opened in 2009 and closed in 2016. It was replaced by Uji Time, the Asian soft serve chain.
- Tuttimelon, Blackhawk Shopping Plaza 3454 Blackhawk Rd, opened at the Blackhawk Shopping Plaza in April 2010 and closed a year later.
- Yogofina, 11000 Crow Canyon Rd, opened in 2010 and closed in 2013. Yogofina is a local self-serve chain. It still has a few locations. I visited in 2010.
Not Closed, Stopped Serving Froyo
- Costco, 3150 Fostoria Way #21b, used to serve froyo but replaced it with soft serve ice cream.
Did I miss any froyo shops or businesses serving froyo in Danville? Let me know.

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.

Fro-yo girl here. I recently visited a dear friend who lives in Antioch, and this led to the realization that there are NO froyo shops in Antioch. How sad!
Antioch is the second most populous city in Contra Costa County, behind Concord, with a population of 115,077 and an average household income of $128,201. It is located on the banks of the San Joaquin River.
They did have froyo shops in the past, but not many. My friend and her mom both remember a froyo place that was open in the late 90s, but they couldn’t remember the name. Perhaps it was Yogurt Place?
Costco in Antioch would have offered froyo back in the day, but they now serve soft serve ice cream instead of froyo.
Brentwood has had more froyo shops, and a few are still open.
Closed Froyo Shops
- The Spot, 4609 Golf Course Rd, was a froyo shop that was open 11 years ago.
- Swirls, 4049 Lone Tree Way, Ste C, was a self-serve froyo shop that opened in October 2017 and may have closed in 2018.
- Uphoria Yogurt, 5009 Lone Tree Way, seems to have opened in 2012 and might have closed in 2013.
- Yogurt Place, 747 Sanger Peak Way, was a frozen yogurt shop. I couldn’t find any additional information about it, so I assume that it was open a long time ago.
