West Covina, California Froyo Guide

Fro-yo girl here. West Covina, California caught my eye because it has two Yogurtland locations. The city is in the eastern end of San Gabriel Valley and has a population of 106,589. If you’re looking for froyo in West Covina, your options are:

  • Yogurtland, 1002 W Covina Pkwy, opened in 2009: The first Yogurtland in West Covina is across the street from Plaza West Covina. I’ve been there a few times and haven’t had any issues. They actually moved from 1000 W Covina Pkwy.
  • Yogurtland, 2500 S Azusa Ave, opened in 2015 at Island Plaza. I visited once and it was messier than the other Yogurtland West Covina location.
  • Menchie’s, 245 N Barranca Ave, Ste 14, opened in 2011. I went once and the froyo was too icy. They have 14 self-serve froyo flavors a day.
  • Yummy Yogurt, 112 Plaza Dr Spc 4592 – opened during the pandemic inside Plaza West Covina. It’s a kiosk on the first floor with 10 self-serve froyo flavors a day.

Froyo shops that closed:

  • Joghurt, 3660 Nogales St, Ste B, from 2009-2019, was a self-serve froyo shop that also sold boba drinks.
  • TCBY, 603 Plaza Dr., unknown dates – I’ve seen the listing for a TCBY inside West Covina Fashion Plaza, the indoor mall. I looked for TCBY at the mall and did not find it. TCBY is not listed in the mall directory. Foursquare says it’s closed. Yelp has one review from 2015.
  • Tutti Frutti, 112 Plaza Dr., from 2010 – unknown closing date. Tutti Frutti was a kiosk on the 2nd floor of Plaza West Covina. It closed but I’m not sure when.
  • Yogen Fruz, Westfield West Covina Mall 1474 Plaza Dr., from 2009-2012. Reviews were mostly favorable. People liked Yogen Fruz’s thicker mix-in style yogurt but some found it pricey.

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

Yummy Yogurt Opens in Plaza West Covina (West Covina, CA)

 




Fro-yo girl here. There were a couple of months during the pandemic last year where I did not visit an indoor mall…but things are better now and indoor malls are open. They even allow you to dine indoors. I’m not sure when Yummy Yogurt opened at Plaza West Covina but I’m guessing it was towards the end of last year? Or early this year? It's the only place to get froyo at Plaza West Covina.

There was a Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt kiosk inside Plaza West Covina (upstairs) that closed for good during last year’s pandemic. Yummy Yogurt isn’t the same kiosk though and it’s in a different location downstairs. It looks different than the old Tutti Frutti kiosk and has Prinkipia Frozen Yogurt symbols. But Yummy Yogurt uses the same Wellspring machines you usually find at a Tutti Frutti.

They’re actually letting you serve yourself, but you must use a glove. There are 10 self-serve flavors a day (sourced from Honey Hill Farms), toppings (fruit, popping boba, candy, cookies, sprinkles, nuts, coconut, jellies, and syrups) for 59 cents an ounce. 

It's a decent option if you're looking for froyo from the mall, though there's nothing unique about it.

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