400 Fro-yo Reviews Written

Fro-yo girl here. I'm keeping track of fro-yo review milestones and I reached the 400th Yelp fro-yo review today. I reached 300 reviews with my Tuttimelon Blackhawk review on May 1, 2010. My 400th review is for Tuttimelon Novato. I did wait to post it because I wanted to review a place I really liked for my milestone review. Over the years, I've reviewed fro-yo shops in five states: CA, NY, MA, IL, OR. I'm hoping to add to that list this year. I just had fro-yo today...seems like I'll never get tired of it!

Tuttimelon Cell Phone Charms

Fro-yo girl here. I realized I forgot to post a picture of the door prize at the Tuttimelon Blackhawk grand opening, the Tuttimelon cell phone charms. I've always wanted a fro-yo cell phone charm but I'm afraid these are too cute to use. The cups say Tuttimelon. I saw orange fro-yo (mango and peach tart), blue fro-yo (taro and blueberry tart), green (green tea tart), yellow (pineapple tart) and pink (pom tart, strawberry tart). I didn't see any original tart charms.

Wow, I Wrote 300 Fro-yo Reviews

Fro-yo girl here. Today I posted my 300th fro-yo review on Yelp. I remember my first fro-yo shop review clearly. It was for Jubili in San Francisco and I posted it on December 16, 2007. At the time, I had just learned about mochi balls and I couldn't stop thinking about them. The first time I went to Jubili, they were out of mochi.

The next day, December 17, 2007, I posted another fro-yo review for Love Berry at Stonestown Galleria. I can't remember my 100th fro-yo review or my 200th fro-yo review (I should have paid closer attention). My 500th Yelp review was for Cafe Delatti in Los Gatos.

My first Tuttimelon review was posted on January 27, 2008 for their very first location, on Irving St. in San Francisco. Tuttimelon Blackhawk opened at the perfect time - it's my 300th fro-yo shop review.

Tuttimelon Blackhawk Grand Opening Coverage

Fro-yo girl here. Today Tuttimelon Bear and I were in Danville, for the grand opening of Tuttimelon and we're here to report on an exciting day of fro-yo. Tuttimelon unveiled a new look, extra cute. There were signs of cuteness everywhere, including pink walls with cutesy images in white (smiling fruit, the Tuttimobile, smiling fro-yo cups, smiling toast), a lamp shaped like a green apple!, fro-yo machine signs with smiling fro-yo cups and more. They even have signature Tuttimelon napkins now. The seating is colorful and modern. I still love those hanging lacy white globe lamps.



The doors opened around 1:20 PM and I have a picture of the first person (a young girl, she was with her family). The first 50 people received the cutest door prize yet, a Tuttimelon cell phone charm. Each charm featured two cups of fro-yo and a gelato cone. The cups say Tuttimelon. They had different flavors. To control the flow, 5 people were let in at a time. Each person received a small cup which they could fill to their heart's content with 8 flavors of fro-yo (chocolate, vanilla, taro, guava, strawberry, pomegranate, original tart, mango) and toppings (jellies, fresh fruit, syrups, nuts, mochi, cookies, candy, cereal, chips). This location also has 24 flavors of gelato, made by Tuttimelon.



The line was really long! Longer than I expected. Fro-yo was free till 3 PM. Then at 3:15 PM, they had the prize raffle. I didn't get to see it because I was helping out inside the store. I heard a 5 year old boy won the grand prize, the Apple iPad. They also gave out a Nintendo DSI and fro-yo gift cards.





It was interesting to see people's fro-yo creations but many of them were just ugly. Still, you could see that they really enjoyed adding toppings. I had expert swirling help and my creation looked much more appetizing.

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