21 Choices Pasadena Looks About Ready to Open

Fro-yo girl here. I was in Old Town Pasadena for the Wanderlust Creamery grand opening (September 20) at the old Coolhaus space inside Indiana Colony when I walked by 21 Choices. The custom counters have been built and the froyo machines have been delivered. They removed the paper that covered the windows. Most of the lights have been installed. Based on what I saw, it looks very close to opening…

Meanwhile, the Yogurtland space is still unoccupied and Jamba Juice is returning to their Old Town location, the one that’s been dormant for years. One Zo just opened because we needed another boba place in Old Town. I am sad that Midori Matcha closed but it was a terrible location with very little foot traffic or even car traffic.

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

Coolhaus Yogurt & Berries Ice Cream Flavor

Fro-yo girl here. Is it frozen yogurt or ice cream? Coolhaus has one yogurt flavor called Yogurt & Berries. It’s described as having “a creamy yogurt base with seasonal berries swirled all throughout.”

I had a scoop of the Yogurt & Berries and it’s more ice cream like than frozen yogurt like. The texture is rich and creamy with a sweet aftertaste. The berry swirl is barely visible and the berry flavor is subtle though noticeable. I was disappointed that it wasn’t tangy/tart but was on the sweet side. However, there was some yogurt flavor though it tasted more like ice cream (heavy cream, whole milk, eggs) with a little bit of Greek yogurt and berries added to it. It contains live and active cultures, so it is a frozen yogurt in my opinion.

It’s taken me a long time to track down this elusive flavor which is rarely offered at the Pasadena, CA location. If you’re interested in trying it, check the @coolhausla Twitter account for the daily flavor board. Note, that account posts flavor boards for the Culver City and Pasadena locations so be sure you know which location the board is for.

You can also find the recipe for Yogurt & Berries in the new Coolhaus Ice Cream Book on pp. 56-57.

Yogurt & Berries was just named the official ice cream (froyo) of Good Morning America.
