Cocomo Froyo Makes Its Debut at Smorgasburg LA






Fro-yo girl here. Cocomo Froyo made its debut at Smorgsaburg LA on July 22, 2018. The new food stand is from the Goa Taco folks.

Cocomo Froyo starts with handmade traditional yogurt made from coconuts that is then slowly churned into frozen yogurt. It’s plant-based, vegan, dairy-free, and soy-free. They also don’t use plastic spoons or cups.

Right now, Cocomo Froyo is only available at Smorgsaburg, which is held most Sundays from 10 AM – 4 PM. You can find their stall in Ice Cream Alley, to the left of the main entrance.

There were two flavor combinations available:

* Fresh summer berries, raspberry chia pudding, rose jelly, basil

* Toasted coconut, fresh pineapple, pineapple chips, fresh mint

One serving comes with two scoops and toppings for $7. The creation is assembled to order. They even had an anti-griddle to make little coconut discs.

The summer berries creation was very pretty. It included fresh flower petals. The blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries were super fresh. The frozen yogurt was light and refreshing, with some larger ice chunks. It wasn’t as smooth as I expected, but the lightness and the fact that it wasn’t too sweet made it well suited to a hot Sunday afternoon. It reminded me of shaved ice. The toppings were impeccably fresh and/or interesting. I particularly liked the microbasil – the pop of flavor it added. The toppings seemed better than the frozen yogurt. The froyo had no tang.

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