Pinkberry Pumpkin Froyo Returns After a Long Absence

 

Fro-yo girl here. FYI, Pumpkin froyo fans: Pinkberry brought back Pumpkin froyo early this year. With a launch date of August 13, Pinkberry Pumpkin froyo was the earliest pumpkin flavor announcement that I saw. Starbucks brought back PSL on August 24.

I went to Pinkberry Los Feliz and ordered the Pumpkin froyo. The texture was icier than I remembered but my memory might not be accurate. Plus, the froyo at that location has been icy lately. The froyo had a lightness that I associate with Pinkberry. It tastes more like pumpkin spice than pumpkin. Pinkberry recommends pairing Pumpkin froyo with whipped cream, graham cracker pie crust, and cinnamon. I like mine with almonds, though they offer a different type of almond now. I’m sure granola and cheesecake bites would also be good toppings.

It’s been years since I’ve had Pinkberry Pumpkin. I didn’t have it last year and I was looking for it (I don’t think they offered it in my area). Yogurtland didn’t bring back their Pumpkin froyo last year either. Luckily, I was able to enjoy Pumpkin Spice froyo at Menchie’s and Pumpkin Spice vegan froyo from Yoga-urt in 2020. I didn’t have Pinkberry Pumpkin in 2019 either but I did have Pressed Juicery’s new Pumpkin Freeze, Yogurtland’s Pumpkin Pie froyo, Menchie’s Haunted Pumpkin Harvest froyo, Yoga-urt’s vegan Pumpkin Spice froyo, and 21 Choices Pumpkin Spice froyo.

It looks like I haven’t had a cup of Pinkberry Pumpkin since 2013. They brought Pumpkin back in 2015 but I was busy trying new flavors, so I didn’t order a cup. Pinkberry Pumpkin was first introduced in October 2010.

Pinkberry's Pumpkin froyo is available for a limited time only, while supplies last.

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

New Menchie’s October Feature Flavor, Pumpkin Spice made with Nilla Wafers & a New Cup

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s has a new pumpkin flavor this month: Pumpkin Spice froyo made with Nilla Wafers! Also, there’s a new cup design for a new animated movie from Sony Pictures called Connected. And Menchie’s in Valley Village (Los Angeles, CA) had Halloween decorations and Halloween froyo cakes.

As for Pumpkin Spice froyo, it’s made with real Nilla Wafers and cinnamon and has no artificial colors. And it’s lowfat. Nilla Wafers are pretty mild but I like them. Pumpkin Spice froyo seemed sweeter and milder to me (vs. Menchie’s Harvest Pumpkin) though I could taste the warm spice. It’s not as gingery or spicy as Harvest Pumpkin. The creamy mildness was quite pleasant. Recommended toppings: Nilla Wafers, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Heath.

The Connected Cups and Pumpkin Spice froyo are available for a limited time, while supplies last. Menchie’s Valley Village is still full service.
