Fro-yo girl here. It looks like Van Leeuwen is planning a monthly flavor drop at their froyo-serving scoop shops. This month, there are two new flavors: Pumpkin Spice and Vanilla froyo. Neither are tart.
Vanilla froyo: I was surprised to find that it had a icier texture. It did not taste like frozen yogurt but it did taste like vanilla. Recommended toppings: any crumble, any sauce
Pumpkin spice froyo: Definitely creamier in texture than the vanilla froyo, the pumpkin spice froyo tasted like pumpkin ice cream. The texture was off though – there were some large ice crystals. It also melted fast. Recommended toppings: speculoos cookie crumble, honey slivered almonds, whipped cream.
What’s up with all the texture issues at Van Leeuwen?
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl

As for Pumpkin Spice froyo, it’s made with real Nilla Wafers and cinnamon and has no artificial colors. And it’s lowfat. Nilla Wafers are pretty mild but I like them. Pumpkin Spice froyo seemed sweeter and milder to me (vs. Menchie’s Harvest Pumpkin) though I could taste the warm spice. It’s not as gingery or spicy as Harvest Pumpkin. The creamy mildness was quite pleasant. Recommended toppings: Nilla Wafers, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Heath.
The Connected Cups and Pumpkin Spice froyo are available for a limited time, while supplies last. Menchie’s Valley Village is still full service.
