NEW Labna Honeycomb (Yogurt) Flavor at Kinrose Creamery

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been waiting over a year for Kinrose Creamery to introduce their frozen yogurt/yogurt ice cream and it finally happened. You see, when I first visited the shop on opening day, January 3, 2024, I asked if they were going to create a frozen yogurt flavor. They said they were working on it…but I wasn’t sure if they were just being polite?

Kinrose specializes in Persian/Egyptian ice cream. Persians love yogurt, so it seemed like a natural fit. The new flavor is called Labna Honeycomb and it is described as “a beloved creamy and tart strained yogurt often enjoyed with honey.” They made their own honeycomb to fold into the yogurt ice cream. The scoop of Labna was topped with more honeycomb and black nigella seeds (black cumin) for more flavor and texture.

Everything they make is made from scratch with love. The Labna Honeycomb was no exception. It was rich, dense, and creamy. It did have some mild tang. It’s not very tart but is very rich. The bits of honeycomb folded in are tiny but they added flavor and texture.

I love how their ice cream comes with paired toppings that add texture and flavor. And the ice cream always looks pretty. A single scoop is $7.50 and totally worth it.

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

Bacio di Latte Opens in Pasadena and Makes Yogurt Gelato

Fro-yo girl here. Bacio di Latte opened on December 23, 2024, in the old 21 Choices Frozen Yogurt space. 21 Choices moved to another location nearby and then a plant and beauty store occupied the space. 

Bacio di Latte was founded by two brothers in Milan, Italy, in 2011. The gelato is made daily in-store with organic milk so that it’s fresh. They also use the best raw materials like Italian pistachios, Italian hazelnuts, Italian lemons, chocolate from Belgium and Italy, etc.

There are 24 flavors to choose from, including a few sorbets and Greek yogurt gelato. Most of the flavors will stay the same but they will change the seasonal flavors. The yellow signs indicate the top-selling flavors. Ask for samples.

Pistachio lovers, they have two pistachio gelato flavors and the option to add pistachio cream and pistachios to coat your cup or cone. A small piccolo cup with up to 2 flavors is $7.45, a regular is $8.95, and a grande, $10.75. They also sell pints.

Yogurt Bianco yogurt gelato is made with Greek yogurt. It has the rich, thick, soft, smooth, sticky texture of gelato. It tasted fresh and slightly tangy (but not sour). It’s good! But not my favorite texture.

They also have a rewards program. Limited indoor seating.

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