Tuttimelon Mercado Grand Opening Coverage

Fro-yo girl here. Tuttimelon Bear and I were behind the scenes at today's Tuttimelon grand opening. He has a new Tuttimelon pillow that he loves (thanks Tuttimelon!). I helped out with typing up the toppings labels again and got to view the festivities from behind the counter. We saw the Tuttimobile parked out front (exciting).



The first 25 people in line received Tuttimelon their choice of black or brown t-shirts designed by Mr. Tuttimelon. Guests received free fro-yo (a small cup that they could fill to their heart's content with fro-yo and toppings) from 12 - 2 PM. The prize wheel wasn't there but they had the drawing at 2:15 PM. Prizes included Tuttimelon gift cards, Guitar Hero (the guitar + games - won by a little boy), and the grand prize, a Tiffany heart necklace (the winner was a guy, he seemed embarrassed).

There was a steady line for the fro-yo. In terms of decor, there's plenty of seating and tons of white and green pillows. The place is comfy and would be a perfect place to hang out before or after a movie (and they have restrooms). The fro-yo wall has a different look, a red mosaic. I like how the different locations all look slightly different yet still share some elements, like the orange & white chairs and those pretty lacy hanging globes. The flatscreen LCD monitors weren't there but I'm guessing that they're on the way.



The new location has 10 fro-yo flavors and toppings (38 cents an ounce), 24 gelato and sorbet flavors and pastries (scones, cookies, etc.). I didn't see black sesame gelato (otherwise I would have tried some).

Fro-yo flavors of the day:
* Vanilla
* Chocolate
* Coconut tart
* Strawberry tart
* Pineapple tart
* Original tart
* Peach tart
* Mango tart
* Taro tart
* Pomegranate tart

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