Yogurtland Eagle Rock Returns to Full Self-Service

Fro-yo girl here. Self-serve is back at Yogurtland Eagle Rock! I think they adopted partial-serve in 2021. You could get your own froyo but not the toppings.

A week ago, they brought back self-serve toppings. Finally! I also heard that Yogurtland Burbank will soon allow you to serve your own toppings too.

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

Yogurtland Burbank Opens After Remodeling

 

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland in Burbank, California, closed for remodeling from March 25 – March 27. I visited to see how the remodel turned out. The tiny square green tiles that adorned the wall of froyo machines and the toppings counter have been removed and replaced with faux wood laminate. The green wall by the toppings bar was also replaced with faux wood laminate.

The froyo wall has a more colorful logo now and it says From our Yogurtland dairy. Yes, Yogurtland has its own dairy. 

The light fixtures haven’t changed. Mostly, the green has been removed and replaced with faux wood laminate and new signs were installed.

You still can't get your own toppings! Why....

I noticed a few Yogurtland locations have recently been remodeled, such as the one in Arcadia, which was remodeled in January of this year. It looks similar to the one in Burbank.

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland in Burbank, California, is closed for remodeling from March 25 – March 27. I noticed a few Yogurtland locations have recently been remodeled and am curious to see the new look at Yogurtland Burbank. Note, the Yogurtland website and app and Google Places do not note that this location is currently closed.

PokiTomik Takes Over Yogurtland’s Downtown Burbank Space

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland Media Center in downtown Burbank closed last fall after nearly 13 years in business. It took a few months to remove the fixtures and the Yogurtland sign was removed in January. The space has been leased and PokiTomik opened on July 2 and serving poke bowls. The wall of yogurt machines is now just a wall. PokiTomik currently has 14 locations, all in Southern California. They do not serve froyo.

Yogurtland Sign Removed in Burbank, CA

Fro-yo girl here. Back in September 2022, I reported that Yogurtland in downtown Burbank had closed in August 2022. The soft serve machines and toppings bar, even the water dispenser and signs were still inside at that time. And that’s how it stayed for a few months. Even in early December, the Yogurtland sign was up. The inside hasn’t been demolished but things have been removed. Well, the Yogurtland sign has now been removed and they recently put up a for lease sign (a few days after this picture was taken). The tables are still inside and the counter is still there too. I'll report back on what happens to the space.

If you're in downtown Burbank and want froyo, Pinkberry is still open.

Yogurtland Downtown Burbank (Media Center) Closes

Fro-yo girl here. Sad news. Yogurtland in downtown Burbank (Media Center) has closed. It happened pretty recently. The shop still has toppings inside and nothing has been removed from the interior. But Yogurtland has removed the location from their website, the Yogurtland Burbank Facebook page says permanently closed, and the other Yogurtland location in Burbank confirmed the closure. The sign for Watermelon Sorbet with Sour Patch Kids flavor was still up.

There was no sign on the door explaining the closure and no announcement that I’m aware of.

Yogurtland Burbank Media Center was nearly 13 years old. I went a few times, including to the 5th anniversary celebration. Those were the good old days. I tried to go more recently but they were open odd hours and it always looked dark inside, like they weren’t turning on the lights. The reviews from this year are mostly very negative, citing unpredictable hours, stale toppings, runny froyo, broken machines, etc.

Yogurtland still has a branch in north Burbank on Victory Blvd.

2020 Burbank Froyo Guide

Fro-yo girl here. Back in 2015, I visited every place in Burbank, CA that offered soft serve froyo and found six froyo shops. Since that time, Pit Stop Froyo and Yumz Express went out of business. Otherwise, not that much has changed. No new froyo shops have opened, although Yalla Mediterranean offered Greek froyo for about 2-3 years. Yalla (1781 N Victory Pl) is part of that huge strip mall off the I-5. The casual Greek eatery opened in October 2015. I used to come for their Greek froyo, which is made with their house recipe. They had one flavor, plain, which I enjoyed topped with baklava. For years, you could check in on Yelp and get a free Greek froyo w/ a topping. The soft serve machine seems to have broken down, just like it has at their location in Seal Beach. Froyo is no longer on the menu, so I don’t have a reason to eat there.

Where you can get froyo in Burbank:

• Yogurtland (304 N San Fernando Blvd.) is in downtown Burbank. I like this location (it’s friendly and clean), but it’s across the street from Pinkberry, so I tend to go to Pinkberry instead. It’s not that I go to Pinkberry more often, but there are fewer Pinkberry locations than Yogurtand locations. I usually go to Yogurtland closer to home.
• Yogurtland (2400 W Victory Blvd.) is in a strip mall called Landmark Shopping Plaza closer to the airport. I’m rarely in that area but I’ve had a few pleasant visits there. It’s the highest reviewed froyo shop in Burbank, based on Google Reviews.
• Pinkberry (120 E Palm Ave.) is across from the AMC Burbank 16 movie theater in downtown Burbank and it has the distinction of being the first self-serve Pinkberry location. There are 12 self-serve froyo flavors a day and your typical Pinkberry toppings bar (fresh fruit, popping boba, mochi, candy, nuts, cookies, sauces, Nutella, granola, coconut, cheesecake, brownies, cereal, waffle cookies, and luxe toppings) for 49 cents an ounce. It’s very similar to a regular Pinkberry only with more flavors, larger cups and the self-serve format. Surprisingly, the price hasn’t changed in years. It was 49 cents when I wrote the post in 2015 and it’s still 49 cents. I used to like to visit this location because they had more flavors and sometimes even test flavors, but during a recent visit, the texture of the froyo was way off. 
• Menchie’s (3800 W Verdugo Ave) is in a strip mall. The ownership changed over a year ago and it’s actually gotten better since then. They renovated the shop. It seems cleaner and friendlier now. They also had a new flavor that I had a hard time finding closer to home.

Interestingly, all the froyo shops are self-serve. The froyo shops that closed definitely weren’t as good as the ones that are still open. Yumz was horrible and Pit Stop was okay. Burbank never had innovative froyo options.
