Future Froyo Shop: Lillie Frozen Yogurt


Fro-yo girl here. Do you miss Lillie? I know I do. My fingers are crossed that the shop will open this summer. The new spot is one block from Lillie’s pop-up at Layla Bagels in Beverly Hills. The spot used to be occupied by Fatamorgana Gelato.

Here's my post about my visit to Lillie

* Lillie Frozen Yogurt: 162 S Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90212

Van Leeuwen Opens in Burbank, First VL on West Coast to Offer Froyo








Fro-yo girl here. Van Leeuwen’s froyo is finally available on the West Coast. The Van Leeuwen scoop shop in downtown Burbank, CA, opened today.

The grand opening specials are:

$1 scoops or froyo from 2 PM – 5 PM

Free VL totes for the first 100 guests starting at 2 PM (not froyo totes)

I visited before 2 PM. There was a problem and only two of the four froyo flavors were available during my visit. The froyo is counter-serve. Ask for samples.

Froyo flavors:

  • Tart: icier and looser than I remembered from Miami
  • Matcha (not available)
  • Strawberry (not available)
  • Coconut: very nice, creamy, smooth, slightly tangy, tasted like yogurt

The toppings were displayed on the counter in white bowls. They included fresh fruit, pistachio kataifi, Sicilian pistachio cream, toasted coconut, sprinkles, mochi, nuts, granola, gummy bears, sauces, crumbles, strawberries in syrup, cherries, honey, whipped cream, sauces, etc.

Prices: Small with 1 topping, $7.95/ Medium with 2 toppings, $9.25/ Large with 3 toppings, $10.25. A small is actually a 4 ounce mini serving.

This location is also an ice cream scoop shop with over two dozen flavors, including vegan options. They had basic flavors like vanilla bean, chocolate, and strawberry, but also interesting flavors like Earl Grey tea, mango sticky rice, and peanut butter brownie honeycomb. One scoop was $7.95. You can also pick up a pre-packed pint of ice cream from the freezer.

I like how froyo is on the exterior sign.

Froyo Scene in Danville, CA

 



Fro-yo girl here. With Cuppa Yo opening in Danville in March, I decided to take a look at the history of froyo in Danville, CA. Danville is located in Contra Costa County, about 30 miles east of San Francisco. The current population of 44,000 residents has a median age of 45.4 years and a median household income over $230,000. It was recently ranked #1 by SafeWise’s California’s Safest Cities of 2026 report.

I found two current froyo shops, both self-serve, and a Greek casual chain that offers frozen yogurt. The three froyo shops that closed were all self-serve franchise concepts. Tutti Frutti was the first self-serve froyo shop in Danville.

Places to Get Froyo


  • Cuppa Yo, 730 Camino Ramon Suite 190, opened March 2026. It is part of a self-serve frozen yogurt franchise founded in Bend, Oregon.
  • Nick the Greek, 121 Hartz Ave, opened in 2023. It is a fast casual Greek cafĂ© with many locations, Greek froyo served
  • Yogurt Shack, 290 Hartz Ave, is an outpost of a local self-serve chain. It opened in 2016, replacing Danville Desserts

Closed Froyo Shops


  • Tutti Frutti, 37 Railroad Ave, a branch of the multi-national self-serve chain, opened in 2009 and closed in 2016. It was replaced by Uji Time, the Asian soft serve chain.
  • Tuttimelon, Blackhawk Shopping Plaza 3454 Blackhawk Rd, opened at the Blackhawk Shopping Plaza in April 2010 and closed a year later.
  • Yogofina, 11000 Crow Canyon Rd, opened in 2010 and closed in 2013. Yogofina is a local self-serve chain. It still has a few locations. I visited in 2010.

Not Closed, Stopped Serving Froyo


  • Costco, 3150 Fostoria Way #21b, used to serve froyo but replaced it with soft serve ice cream.

Did I miss any froyo shops or businesses serving froyo in Gilroy? Let me know.

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

New & Improved Yogurtland Toy Story 5 Spoons

 




Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been having a hard time finding the new Yogurtland Toy Story 5 spoons, and I may have found out why. I noticed that it was very hard to see Buzz Lightyear on the Buzz Lightyear spoon that I found on Friday, June 19.

There’s a new, improved Buzz Lightyear spoon that has a clearer image. Rather than a thin etched outline of Buzz, you can see a 3-D version of Buzz.

The Toy Story 5 spoons are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Calabasas Coffee House Adds Froyo, Marking the Return of Froyo to Calabasas



Fro-yo girl here. Calabasas, froyo is officially back. Calabasas Coffee House (CCH) has entered its soft serve era with the launch of two flavors: matcha ice cream and Greek tart yogurt. You can get your swirl in a cup or in one of their clear bottles. It’s $10, toppings included, and there’s even a viral dot‑cake soft serve for the adventurous.

Toppings: Honey, granola, sea salt, fresh strawberries, chocolate shell, whipped cream, dot sprinkles

I had to try the Greek tart yogurt. It leaned much sweeter than average, with only a faint tang. The texture wasn’t as thick or creamy as I prefer; I found myself wishing for something firmer and more substantial. The bottle presentation was cute and novel, but it made scooping out the yogurt and toppings a bit awkward. The granola had good crunch but was also too sweet for my taste. Honestly, I enjoyed my coffee more than my froyo—and that says a lot.

Online ordering is available.

Yogurtland Toy Story 5 Spoons


Fro-yo girl here. Toy Story 5 was released today, and so too, were the Yogurtland Toy Story 5 spoons.

There are three spoons to collect: Woody (blue), Buzz Lightyear (green), and Jessie (red). The spoons show the character on the end and on the back of each character, it says Toy Story 5. It also says “Swirl up some fun with Toy Story 5” on the back of each spoon.

The Toy Story 5 spoons are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Is it just me, or do the spoons feel thinner than the usual Yogurtland spoons?
