Fro-yo girl here. Go Greek closed the Glendale Galleria kiosk in 2019 and the space has been vacant ever since. For a time, it looked like Prinkipia Frozen Yogurt would occupy the space. They had signs up in 2020. Then the signs disappeared. Now there are new signs up for Day & Night Cereal Bar. Day & Night started out as a food truck serving cereal bowls and cereal shakes.
The kiosk is upstairs across from JC Penney.

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve never written about SomiSomi because they serve soft serve ice cream (not froyo). But their soft serve is pretty good, even though I rarely get it (because it’s not froyo). Recently, they closed two locations near me. The Westfield Santa Anita location in Arcadia became an acai bowl place. And now the Glendale Galleria location is becoming another soft serve ice cream shop called Devil & Angel Desserts. They also have mochi donuts, drinks, and taiyaki. I miss the days when Pinkberry and Go Greek were at the Galleria and the Americana.

Fro-yo girl here. A few weeks ago, I shared some pictures of the future Go Greek at Glendale Galleria. I think I was the first to break the news, since I didn’t see a mention of that location prior to my blog post. When I saw the location, it looked close to opening.
Well, the grand opening date has been announced. It is Saturday, March 10 from 2 PM – 5 PM. I’m not sure what, if any specials, they’ll have, but they had a buy one, get one free special at their Santa Monica opening last year. There may be additional updates from Go Greek on Facebook or Instagram, @gogreekyogurt.
From what I can tell, they will have fresh and frozen Greek yogurt (imported from Greece), like their other location. Expect 6 self-serve flavors of froyo a day and healthier toppings. According to the sign, it will be 85 cents an ounce. Go Greek is upstairs by Green Crush, near the center of the mall.

Fro-yo girl here. Glendale Galleria is the fourth largest mall in Los Angeles, but it feels like the busiest. You could get your froyo fix at Haagen Dazs or go across the street to Pinkberry at the Americana. Menchie’s is also nearby in downtown Glendale.
A new froyo option is coming soon to the 2nd floor of Glendale Galleria. Go Greek Yogurteria, the authentic Greek frozen and fresh yogurt mini chain, is opening a kiosk near the center of the mall (by JC Penney and Green Crush). You can’t get any more authentic when it comes to Greek yogurt because they import their yogurt from Greece and they have Greek toppings. The original location opened in Beverly Hills. There are two other locations in Santa Monica and The Village at Topanga in Woodland Hills.
With the fresh yogurt, you can go sweet or savory and build your own bowl with 0%, 2% and 10% fat versions of imported Greek yogurt.
I saw one froyo machine there but it looks like there will be room for three, so they should have 6 flavors a day. They’ll carry the house flavors of Greek Honey, Plain Tart, Chocolate, and Wild Berry with two other flavors from their Rotational and Seasonal flavors. It is self-serve. The froyo is made with 2% or 10% fat Greek yogurt. The toppings are healthier (fresh fruit, dried fruit, cocoa nibs, chocolate chips, premium sauces, Greek biscuits, hemp seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, nuts, peanut chews, granola, coconut). According to the sign, it will be 85 cents an ounce.
The kiosk looks almost ready to open. I'm pretty sure I didn't see it when I was at the mall doing my Christmas shopping, but I rarely go up to that part of the second floor.

Fro-yo girl here. My dedication to yogurt extends to beauty products with yogurt. Recently, I spotted Smoothie Beauty masks in the refrigerator at Riley Rose at the Glendale Galleria.
NYC-based Smoothie Beauty launched earlier this year with a line of fresh, organic food-based face masks that can be delivered to your door. There’s also an option to add Smoother Boosters (superfoods or natural ingredients) to the masks to boost the effectiveness of the masks. The line is all natural. It’s like a mask you could whip together on your own, only they’ve done all the work for you.
Riley Rose had several kinds of masks and some Smoother Boosters too. Only one of the masks didn’t have Greek yogurt. The masks were .85 fl oz and $10.50 each and one packet contains enough for two applications. The ingredients reminded me of ones you’d see in a smoothie. All their products are actually safe to eat and have a best by date stamped on. Once you open the packet, you should use the contents within six days.
* Sunrise mask (for brightening): The mask had just a few ingredients: whole milk Greek yogurt, turmeric, whole grain oats, raw active manuka honey, and lemon juice and peel. The packet looked small but the mask was creamy, so a little went a long way. I left it on for 15 minutes. I didn’t like the scent, which is a big problem, since I kept smelling it on my face. It was something about the odor of the oats and honey that I didn’t find pleasant. The mask was cold and creamy. After washing it off, my skin did feel a bit more moisturized and definitely tighter. It didn’t seem brighter but that probably takes multiple applications to see.
I thought I applied the mask generously to my face and neck, but I had a fair amount left after two applications.
Since I didn’t like the scent, I wouldn’t buy it again. Plus, the ingredients are so simple that I could have made the mask myself. But, I appreciate the fact that the mask was all natural and organic.
Update: I haven't seen any Smoothie Beauty products at Riley Rose lately. The fridge where Smoothie Beauty products were kept is now filled with beverages.
4 out of 5 stars.

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Ettang modeling cup masks at Riley Rose at the Glendale Galleria. Maneki Neko also carries Ettang masks. Their face masks come in powdered form in cups. Most of the writing on the packaging was in Korean, so I had to do some online research to learn how to use the mask that I purchased. However, once I opened the mask, there were instructions in English on the inside. The masks were $4 each at Riley Rose. One cup is 17 g.
Each type of mask has a different benefit:
- Acerola: brightens skin
- Chlorella: soothes skin
- Calendula: hydrates skin
- Charcoal: controls sebum
- Collagen: improves elasticity
- Mulberry: smooths and brightens skin
- Propolis: protects skin
- Yogurt: smooths and firms skin
One cup contains enough for one use. You take the powder out of the cup, add water to the cup to the line, add the powder back, and mix it quickly with the spatula that it comes with. It’s easy to transport and use anywhere. It’s too bad you need a separate container for the powder though.
Once you add the water, mix for a minute. It dries quickly, so be sure to apply it quickly. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Peel off the mask and the residue.
The mask has no added parabens or chemical preservatives. It is supposed to shrink pores and leave your skin moist and elastic. It contains rubber.
* Yogurt Cup Pack: The yogurt mask is said to leave your skin smoother, with a bright skin tone and glossy finish. The mask did dry quickly and I couldn’t get all the lumps out. It had little fragrance and applies like a thick paste or glue. Because of the clumpiness, it was pretty ugly once applied. The color was a pale purple. Not all of the mask peeled off easily, so it was messy. My skin did feel softer but just a little.
3 out of 5 stars.

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been watching this space for months. It’s a new looking building in downtown Glendale that has space for a few businesses. The Menchie’s signs are finally in the windows. The yoga studio next door has opened.
Menchie’s signed a ten year lease. I’ll keep watching the space (I always pass it on the way to Glendale Galleria/the Americana).
