Yogurtland, San Gabriel
Fro-yo girl here. With a population of about 42,000 and a size of 4.09 square miles, San Gabriel is one of the smaller cities in San Gabriel Valley. It’s very diverse but predominantly Asian (61.4%). Yogurtland is currently the only frozen yogurt shop still open in San Gabriel. That location, located at 927 E Las Tunas Dr., Suite D, opened in 2013 in the shopping center anchored by 168 Market. It’s been a consistently good location – good about getting the new flavors on time, friendly service – but it’s considerably more expensive than Yogurtland Alhambra. Yogurtland Alhambra closed last fall though.
Former Froyo Shops in San Gabriel
- Nubi Yogurt, 140 W Valley Blvd, was located in San Gabriel Square, the shopping center anchored by 99 Ranch Market. The self-serve shop opened in 2008 and closed in 2012.
- Peach House was a counter-serve Pinkberryesque froyo concept. The San Gabriel shop, located at 531 W Valley Blvd, opened in 2007 and closed in 2009.
- YoGood, 704 W. Las Tunas Dr., Suite E3, was a counter-serve nonfat froyo shop that opened in 2008 and closed in 2009.
And that’s all…not many froyo shops opened in San Gabriel but it is a smaller city.

Fro-yo girl here. I was pleasantly surprised to hear about a new TART froyo flavor from Yogurtland. Small Batch Super Tart froyo is plain tart “on a whole new level” and the supply is limited since they only made a small batch. The launch date is February 1. Last year, Yogurtland did not introduce any new tart flavors.
Small Batch Super Tart was created in honor of Yogurtland's 15th anniversary. It's a reimagining of their Plain Tart flavor.
Small Batch Super Tart froyo: It’s quite similar to Yogurtland’s Plain Tart. I was expecting it to be very tart and it wasn’t. It seemed a little creamier and sweeter than Plain Tart. I guess it was a little more tart but I noticed the additional sweetness more than the tartness. Small Batch Super Tart is gluten-free and nonfat. Recommended toppings: Fresh fruit, mochi, popping boba.
I noticed prices have gone up at some Yogurtland locations. Yogurtland San Gabriel is now $0.56 cents/oz. It was $0.52/oz in late 2020. Yogurtland usually raises prices around the beginning of the new year. Also, there was no mention of National/International Frozen Yogurt Day at Yogurtland San Gabriel. I asked about it but they didn’t know of any NFYD plans. They had Valentine’s décor up though. It’s still full service with no indoor dining allowed.
Use the Flavor Finder feature on the Yogurtland website or app to find Small Batch Super Tart froyo.

Fro-yo girl here. It seems like the new year usually brings a price increase at Yogurtland. True to form, the price at Yogurtland San Gabriel recently went up from 49 cents to 52 cents. I suspect other locations in the area have also increased prices, but I haven't visited them yet. It's a modest price hike, so I'm not too bothered by it. Plus, I have the Sweet Treats booklets. The average price at Yogurtland locations in the area last year was 49 cents.
I also noticed that the Drinkable Creations product is now sold by weight. I heard the next brand new flavor won't be in till mid-January.

Fro-yo girl here. A new frozen yogurt flavor, Ube (purple yam), is scheduled to launch today at Yogurtland. Yogurtland describes it as inspired by the Philippines with “sweet, buttery, and nutty flavors.
The vibrant purple color of Ube makes this unique flavor looks so fun and scrumptious!” It’s nonfat, gluten free and has live and active cultures.
I confused Ube with Taro but it’s a different root. The Ube froyo looked was a much brighter, more vibrant shade of purple than the taro froyo. The flavor was sweet and mildly nutty with what seemed like a hint of coconut. The texture was smooth and thick. It tasted natural, I think, but I don’t eat ube, so I’m not an ube expert. Recommended toppings: raspberry puree, raspberries, white chocolate chips, coconut.
I noticed that Yogurtland San Gabriel started selling pre-packaged 16 oz cups for $5. They only had three flavors. If they ever have peanut butter froyo cups, I’m buying some. Oh, peanut butter froyo, I miss you so!

Fro-yo girl here. Spotted at Cost Plus: “Cupcake Dividers” from Sweet Creations – these cupcake dividers “allow you to fill your cupcake pan with one batter flavor on one side and another on the other with no mess.” They’re pretty cute because they look like cupcakes and they come in different colors ($1.99 each at Cost Plus).
You slip the mold in the center of the cupcake pan and take the mold out before baking. The dividers are made out of plastic. Maybe I’ll get one and use it as a reusable froyo cup divider…only it’s smaller than most of the froyo cups so they won’t fit the cup snugly.
Speaking of froyo cup dividers, they finally made it to the Pasadena area some time late last year. Yogurtland in Old Town Pasadena has cookie dividers and Menchie’s in South Pasadena has waffle dividers. Yogurtland's San Gabriel (927 E Las Tunas Dr.) location has cookie dividers.
