Fro-yo girl here. I recently read that San Bernardino no longer has a froyo shop and was inspired by the sad news to look into the history of froyo in San Bernardino. San Bernardino is a city of over 216,000 residents in the Inland Empire region of Southern California, about an hour east of Los Angeles. It’s a good size city in a hot area, so it’s shocking to hear that there is no froyo shop.
It looks like there were four froyo shops in San Bernardino. Tiki Hut and Go Bananz were the oldest ones. Yogurtland was the last one to close.
Froyo shops of San Bernardino:
- Go Bananaz, 1078 E Hospitality Ln, was a self-serve froyo shop that may have been open from 2009-2010.
- Prinkipia Frozen Yogurt, 500 Inland Center Dr., is still listed as a tenant at the Inland Center. The self-serve kiosk seems to have opened in 2016. You would think that the shopping center would keep its website up-to-date. I can’t find much information about the location though. One Google reviewer says the location has closed. If it closed, it may have closed this year. I called the mall and they confirmed that Prinkipia is no longer in business.
- Tiki Hut Frozen Yogurt, 4414 University Pkwy, was a self-serve froyo shop that opened in 2009 and closed in 2014. They had 12 flavors a day.
- Yogurtland, 4235 N, University Pkwy #103, opened in 2012 near Cal State San Bernardino. The shop closed in August 2021. Update: This location REOPENED in 2022!
When a city has no froyo, you know it’s not a place worth visiting.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
