Fro-yo girl here. Happy September. Menchie’s has two featured flavors for September: Chocolate Frosted Donut froyo made with Dove chocolate and the returning favorite, Harvest Pumpkin froyo. I thought Menchie’s already had a donut flavor, but it hasn’t (Yogurtland had Maple Donut froyo though).
Chocolate Frosted Donut froyo: Menchie’s describes this flavor as, “Inspired by a chocolate frosted donut, this flavor features rich dark chocolate frosting swirled into smooth, creamy frozen yogurt. Every bite blends Dove’s dark chocolate with notes of freshly fried dough for an indulgent experience.” It didn’t taste like dark chocolate, but it did taste different from a regular chocolate froyo. The fried dough flavor was like cake batter or something. The texture was icier than I expected. I didn’t like the flavor at all. It would be better if it were just dark chocolate froyo. Recommended toppings: chocolate shell, chocolate chips
Menchie’s has a new promotion where you can earn double points on Tuesdays in September between 4 PM – 6 PM when you scan your app. Also, everyone who scans the app will be entered into a contest where you could win a $100 froyo party for your class.

ICYMI, Cinnamon Sugar Cereal froyo is back at Yogurtland and it’s the newest seasonal exclusive flavor, replacing S’mores froyo. It’s made with real cinnamon. When this flavor was first introduced in August 2023, it was called Cinnamon Churro Cereal. The flavor description hasn’t changed and Yogurtland says Cinnamon Sugar Cereal froyo is a returning flavor, so the name must have been changed.
I tried it again and it was better this time. The sample I had in August 2023 was icy, but the one I had at the Arcadia branch was thick and creamy. The cinnamon flavor is strong. The cinnamon seems stronger than the Yogurtland Churro flavor and it also seemed sweeter.

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been enjoying Pinkberry’s Strawberry Shortcake froyo quite often and I’m a bit sad to see it go but it’s time for a new Pinkberry flavor. Pinkberry has just introduced the new Lava Swirl froyo and smoothie. This limited time flavor is available in participating stores until August 18.
The Lava Swirl flavor was inspired by the Lava Flow cocktail. I might be in the minority but I didn’t know about the Lava Flow cocktail. It’s a tropical Hawaiian cocktail made with made with rum, strawberries, pineapple, and coconut cream. It's layered and looks like a volcano, with the red layer covered by the white layer. Pinkberry’s version is non-alcoholic; it has strawberries, pineapple, and coconut. They recommend topping it with pineapple, coconut shavings, strawberry puree, and whipped cream.
Lava Swirl froyo: I wasn’t sure if I’d like this flavor. Fortunately, I did. It reminded me of Pinkberry’s Strawberry Shortcake froyo only with a touch of coconut cream. The strawberry flavor hit me first and then it was finished with the flavor of coconut cream. The froyo was tangy and seemed a little creamier than usual. Recommended toppings: strawberries, pineapple, mango.
FYI, get double points on your Pinkberry purchase from June 1 - June 5.
