Calabasas, California Froyo Guide

Twist, Calabasas



Fro-yo girl here. Calabasas, CA in northeast Los Angeles County used to be a pretty good spot for froyo, considering that it’s small (the population is approximately 23,000). The Menchie’s in Calabasas was the first Menchie’s location that I ever visited. It opened in 2009 and was a popular spot for celebrity sightings. COVID-19 likely led to the permanent closure of the last froyo shop in Calabasas, Peachwave. Golden Spoon was the oldest froyo shop in town.

Froyo Shops of Calabasas

  • Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt, 22259 Mulholland Hwy, may have opened in 2008 as a counter-serve froyo shop (and part of the chain that started in Orange County). The shop changed ownership in 2017 and closed in summer 2019.
  • Menchie’s, 4776 Commons Way Ste D, opened at The Commons in 2009 and closed in February 2020, when the lease expired.
  • Peachwave, 5755 Las Virgenes Blvd., was the first Peachwave location to open in California. Peachwave is a self-serve froyo chain founded in Oklahoma in 2009. The shop closed for good in March 2020.
  • Twist Frozen Yogurt, 26777 Agoura Road, opened in 2011 and closed in late January 2014. It was a good self-serve froyo shop with lots of tart froyo flavors and lots of flavors of mochi. They had more flavored mochi than other froyo shops back when flavored mochi was hard to find.

So, there are no more froyo shops in Calabasas. If you want froyo or something similar in Calabasas today, you have a few options. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, 4751 Commons Way, Ste A, has wonderful scoopable tart froyo and or Pressed Juicery, 23500 Park Sorrento, offers Freeze, their non-dairy, plant-based soft serve.

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