Froyo in Rosemead, California

Sweet Lab

Fro-yo girl here. Rosemead is a smaller city in west San Gabriel Valley (Los Angeles County) with a population of 54,058. The population is predominantly Asian (60%).

Froyo hasn’t had much of a presence in Rosemead, California. It’s never been home to any large froyo chain though Yogurtland, Menchie's, and others can be found nearby. I’ve only had froyo in Rosemead, California once – at Sweet Lab, 8526 Valley Blvd Ste 112. They made it fresh with liquid nitrogen and added the scoops to a bubble waffle. Sweet Lab opened in 2016 and closed in 2021 or 2022. It seems like they stopped offering froyo as a base and the only froyo left on the menu is Beijing yogurt ice cream.

Other froyo shops that closed:

  • Very Berry, 188 W Valley Blvd, was a counter-serve froyo shop that also served shaved ice. It was open from 2007-2008.
  • Yo Love, 8150 Garvey Ave Ste 113A was a self-serve froyo that charged 33 cents an ounce and was open from 2010-2011.
Non-froyo shops in Rosemead like Jamba Juice and Cold Stone Creamery likely offered froyo at some point. Perhaps other places like Tapioca Express did as well. But I don't think there are any places left to get froyo in Rosemead. Sad!

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