Froyo Scene in Glendora, CA

Fro-yo girl here. Glendora is a smaller city in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County. The population was 50,101 in 2024. The median household income is $118,008. Route 66 runs through the city. It is also the home of Donut Man, Rubel Castle, and Big Tree Park.

Sadly, while Glendora used to have four froyo shops, there is currently no froyo shop in town. Golden Spoon was the oldest froyo shop and the last to close. It actually closed, remodeled, and reopened. The froyo shops represented different styles of froyo: counter-serve/traditional, mix-in style, and self-serve.

CLOSED FROYO SHOPS

• Coolberry, 153 W Rt 66, opened in 2015 and closed in 2017. It was a self-serve froyo shop.
• Berries…A Mix Gallery… Frozen Yogurt, 1820 E Rte 66, was a froyo shop that opened in the Lone Hill Shopping Center in 2012 and closed in 2017. The froyo was mixed to order on a cold marble slab like 21 Choices and Cold Stone Creamery. The first location was in Rancho Cucamonga.
• Golden Spoon, 1365 E Gladstone St., Ste. 100, opened in 2008 and closed in 2017.
• Golden Spoon, 1365 E Gladstone St., Ste. 100, reopened under new ownership in 2018 and closed in 2019
• Kool n’ Frooti, 1311 S Grand Ave #170, was a self-serve froyo shop that opened in 2012 and closed in 2014.

New Final Boss Sour Punch Out Peach Topping, Happy Hour, Seasonal Flavors at Yogurtland

Fro-yo girl here. Today was the first day of Yogurtland’s first national happy hour, which continues through October 1. From 3 PM – 7 PM, Yogurtland guests can enjoy $3 off a minimum $6 purchase (the offer is good in-store, online, and with delivery orders).

They also launched a new topping with Final Boss Sour, a sour candy brand. The new topping, Punch Out Peach is made with real dried peaches, no artificial colors, and no artificial fruit flavors. The peach strips are firm, chewy, and very sour. They were great with plain tart.

Punch Out Peach is available at Yogurtland locations nationwide for a limited time. I’ve never heard of Final Boss Sour, but I enjoyed trying a new chewy, sour topping.

I also spotted a few seasonal flavors, including Raspberry Pomegranate Tart and Butter Pecan Gelato.

Aji Wire Drawing Cookies in Strawberry Yogurt Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. DuoDuo Snacks recently opened in Temple City, and their selection of Asian snacks is impressive. I spotted Aji Wire Drawing Cookies in the cookie aisle. They are strawberry yogurt flavored. They look like chocolate chip cookies with a chewy mochi center. A 100g box comes with five individually wrapped mini cookies. It was priced at $3.59. The cookies are imported from China.

Strawberry Yogurt Cookie: The cookie is a pretty pink color and smells faintly fruity. The chocolate chips are placed on top. The cookie is soft and has a chewy clear mochi center. It was mild in flavor and not that sweet. Even the chocolate chips didn’t have much flavor. The cookie was faintly fruity but didn’t have any yogurt flavor. There was supposed to be a strawberry yogurt-flavored sauce, but I’m not sure where it was. It was a pleasant cookie, but the appeal is mostly in the appearance and texture, not the flavor. I would eat it again but not on a regular basis.

One serving (1 pack) is 430 calories with 17g total fat, 65g carbs, 12g sugar, and 4g protein.

The Aji Strawberry Yogurt Wire Drawing Cookies come in a 100g package and are known for their delicious mochi-filled texture. They are soft and crumbly, making them a delightful treat.

Aji Wire Drawing Cookies are available in Strawberry Yogurt or Chocolate.

Aniimo’s Froyo Truck Pop-Up in Downtown Los Angeles

Fro-yo girl here. Aniimoi s a new creature-catching game that just launched. To celebrate the global launch of Aniimoi, the Aniimo froyo truck visited Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles on September 16 – 17. Guests enjoyed a free mini cup of White Vanilla Aniimazing frozen yogurt. The yogurt was pale blue in color but tasted like a very sweet vanilla. It was adorned with a custom wafer with the Aniimo image.

They were also handing out postcards with codes for a special gift (to be redeemed in-game).

Van Leeuwen’s New Flavors: Pumpkin Spice and Vanilla

Fro-yo girl here. It looks like Van Leeuwen is planning a monthly flavor drop at their froyo-serving scoop shops. This month, there are two new flavors: Pumpkin Spice and Vanilla froyo. Neither are tart.

Vanilla froyo: I was surprised to find that it had a icier texture. It did not taste like frozen yogurt but it did taste like vanilla. Recommended toppings: any crumble, any sauce

Pumpkin spice froyo: Definitely creamier in texture than the vanilla froyo, the pumpkin spice froyo tasted like pumpkin ice cream. The texture was off though – there were some large ice crystals. It also melted fast. Recommended toppings: speculoos cookie crumble, honey slivered almonds, whipped cream.

What’s up with all the texture issues at Van Leeuwen?
