Fro-yo girl here. I'm back from Chicago with an update on the Chicago fro-yo scene.
1) Starfruit opened another location, their fourth, this one is inside the Merchandise Mart. It took me awhile to find it; it's not in the food court area by Dunkin Donuts. The Merchandise Mart is huge. I walked by the Block 37 location and noticed that the Beard Papa across from Starfruit serves Haagen Dazs coffee/smoothie drinks.
2) Forever Yogurt just opened in Wicker Park, bringing self-serve fro-yo close to downtown. It didn't seem much different than your average self-serve fro-yo shop in California, only more expensive (almost 50 cents an ounce). There's plenty of variety in fro-yo (14 flavors) and toppings. The fro-yo was runny. They plan on adding bagels soon. Bagels and fro-yo, I haven't seen that combination before.
3) No visible signs of the future Red Mango at O'Hare (space B5)
4) There's tart fro-yo in Chinatown at Joy Yee Plus and it's good. I think it's the only place to get fro-yo in Chinatown but tapioca drinks are everywhere.
I forgot to visit the new Freshberry location (211 E. Ontario St.) and the new Berry Moon.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

i heard that Yoppi Hong Kong is opening this month.
Thanks. It can be hard to keep up with international fro-yo news but I try.

I overheard the owner of Yoppi California St. telling a customer that but I'm not sure if its true since its not posted on the website.
It sounds true to me :)

3 more days until Chicago! I'm going to visit the Chinatown fro-yo place.
Oh, have fun in Chicago! You should check out XOCO if you have time. I had the most amazing torta there.
