New Yogurtland Spring Sticker Sheets

 

Fro-yo girl here. It seems like Yogurtland introduces new sticker sheets every season (spring, summer, fall, winter) now. I just found new spring sticker sheets that feature the Yogurtland logo, gummy bears, the Yogurtland spoon, Yogurtland cup, Yogurtland boba drink, flowers, and bees. These sticker sheets have a yellow background. They’re complimentary, but you may have to ask for them.

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

Yogurtland Eagle Rock Remodeled, Price Hike

 

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland Eagle Rock just underwent a quick remodel (I was told this happened a week ago). The green and white square tiles were removed and replaced with faux wood. The froyo wall has a more colorful logo now and it says From Our Yogurtland Dairy. The light fixtures haven’t changed. They added some shelving behind the toppings counter.

Incredibly, you still can’t get your own toppings at Yogurtland Eagle Rock. 

Also, the price also went up, from $0.69/oz to $0.74/oz.

Sneak Peek at Yoga-urt in Granada Hills

Fro-yo girl here. The sign is up at the future Yoga-urt in Granada Hills, the first franchise location. It’s in a brand new luxury apartment building called MODERNO La Granada Hills. I peeked inside Suite A, the future home of Yoga-urt. There was nothing inside. Fingers crossed for an opening this summer!

Shaomei Lemon & Mochi Frozen Dessert Bars Review

Fro-yo girl here. Shaomei, a Taiwanese dessert brand, has been introducing many new popsicle/ice bar flavors. On a recent trip to H Mart in Arcadia, I spotted Lemon & Mochi frozen dessert bars. A 9.9 oz box of four individually wrapped bars was $7.99, regular price. The bars are imported from Taiwan. There’s a picture of a baked lemon tart on the box and on the wrapper.

Shaomei describes Lemon & Mochi frozen dessert bars: “The double lemon taste of lemon ice cream and lemon curd bits are superimposed to create a delicate and slightly sour taste, intertwined with the crispy aroma of lemon biscuit bits and the elegant and slightly sweet taste of white chocolate crispy skin. You can chew the elastic white jade with every bite, perfectly presenting a delicate and delicious taste. An afternoon tea-style ice cream with a chewy taste.” Sounds really good, right?

Lemon & Mochi bar: As a lemon lover, I was very pleased with this bar. It’s excellent in flavor and texture. The thin white chocolate shell is sweet and crispy and it’s studded with crispy biscuit crumbs (the type of crumb that reminded me of Lotus speculoos cookies). I didn’t realize that the crumbs were from a lemon biscuit. I didn’t detect the lemon in the biscuits but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the bar. The interior is lemony yellow. It’s more tangy and sweet than it is sour. And it’s smooth and creamy. The mochi rice cakes are in the center of the bar (the ice cream part). They’re plain, soft, and chewy. The size is similar to the mochi you find at froyo shops.

One 70g bar is 190 calories, 11g total fat, 23g total carbs, 1g protein, and 18g total sugars. It has more sugar than their boba ice cream bars but because the lemon is tangy, it doesn’t seem as sweet.

This is the first time I’ve awarded five stars to a Shaomei bar. I hope to buy more boxes soon.

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

5 out of 5 stars.

New Yasso Fruit Bars (Strawberry Chocolate Crunch and Strawberries & Cream) Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Yasso introduced three NEW Greek yogurt and fruit bars in late March. The new flavors are Strawberry Chocolate Crunch, Strawberries & Cream, and Creamy Mango. All three flavors feature Yasso’s creamy Greek yogurt and real fruit. 

I found two of the flavors at Walmart in Burbank, CA, for $5.23. Pavilions also carries some of the flavors for $6.99, and Instacart has them for $8.09. A box contains four individually wrapped bars. Yasso recommends that you let the bars sit at room temperature for two minutes before consuming. I did allow the bars to thaw but still didn’t find them to be creamy.

Strawberry Chocolate Crunch Bars feature strawberry-flavored Greek frozen yogurt dipped in a crunchy milk chocolate coating. The crunchy bits are quinoa crisps. One bar is 140 calories with 4g of protein. I’ve had the other Yasso Crunch bars, and the chocolate coating is really good. I also enjoyed the milk chocolate coating for the Strawberry Chocolate Crunch Bar. The chocolate coating is thin and crunchy. It does fall off easily. The chocolate coating doesn’t complement the strawberry yogurt as much as it complements the other flavors they offer. The strawberry yogurt part is slightly icy and it doesn’t have enough yogurt flavor or enough strawberry flavor. The strawberries are blended into the yogurt. One bar is 140 calories, 6g total fat, 16g total carbs, 13g total sugars, and 4g protein.

Strawberries & Cream Bars are made with real strawberry Greek yogurt. The strawberry puree is blended into the yogurt. There was an icy edge. The flavor was okay – it didn’t have yogurt tang and it didn’t have enough strawberry flavor either. It was sweet but not crazy sweet. I think it would be better with lowfat or full-fat yogurt. One bar is 80 calories, 0g fat, 14g total carbs, 12g total sugars, and 4g protein.

Yasso bars are all-natural, healthy treats. They’re also gluten-free and kosher.

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

Noosa Delights Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Noosa Yoghurt just launched a new line of snacks featuring creamy Noosa whole milk yoghurt and a sweet bottom layer. The flavors are: Key Lime Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake, Coconut Cream Pie, Brownie Batter. The flavors sound indulgent.

I spotted Noosa Delights at Pavilions in South Pasadena, CA. They were priced at 2 for $4. Each cup is 4.5 oz, smaller than the typical yogurt. It’s also more expensive than the regular Noosa Yoghurt 4.5 oz cup.

Pavilions in South Pasadena had three of the flavors. Coconut Cream Pie was missing.

Key Lime Pie yoghurt: The texture was different – it’s a blended yogurt and was more like a pot set style than the typical Noosa yoghurt. The key lime pie yoghurt was delicious – very tangy and creamy with lots of key lime flavor. I didn’t understand or appreciate the bottom layer, which is a brown gelatin that’s graham cracker flavored. It didn’t look appealing but it tasted fine. Crunchy graham cracker crust pieces would be so much better than graham cracker gelatin. I also wasn’t certain if I should mix the contents or not. I did mix it because I didn’t want to see the brown gelatin. One serving is 190 calories, 8g total fat, 24g total carbs, 21g total sugars, and 5g protein.

Strawberry Cheesecake yoghurt: This was sweeter than the Key Lime Pie but was also blended and had a pot set texture with a layer of graham cracker gelatin on the bottom. I could see bits of strawberry and there was a hint of cream cheese and cinnamon. One serving is 160 calories, 6g total fat, 22g total carbs, 20g total sugars, and 5g protein. I preferred the Key Lime Pie flavor. The strawberry cheesecake tasted too sweet (even though it has less sugar).

Noosa Delights yoghurt is tasty, because Noosa is so good, but the graham cracker bottom is strange. I’d rather have regular Noosa, unblended.

4 out of 5 stars.

Yogurtland Burbank Opens After Remodeling

 

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland in Burbank, California, closed for remodeling from March 25 – March 27. I visited to see how the remodel turned out. The tiny square green tiles that adorned the wall of froyo machines and the toppings counter have been removed and replaced with faux wood laminate. The green wall by the toppings bar was also replaced with faux wood laminate.

The froyo wall has a more colorful logo now and it says From our Yogurtland dairy. Yes, Yogurtland has its own dairy. 

The light fixtures haven’t changed. Mostly, the green has been removed and replaced with faux wood laminate and new signs were installed.

I noticed a few Yogurtland locations have recently been remodeled, such as the one in Arcadia, which was remodeled in January of this year. It looks similar to the one in Burbank.

New Yogurtland Spring Toppings: Strawberry Heart Jelly & Lychee Star Jelly

 

Fro-yo girl here. I tried Yogurtland’s new spring flavors last week, Strawberry Matcha and Milk & Honey. But the new spring toppings weren’t available at the time of my visit. Well, I found the new toppings at Yogurtland in Tustin, CA.

Lychee Star Jellies are pale white and star-shaped. Strawberry Heart Jellies are small red heart-shaped jellies. I tried the Strawberry Heart Jellies and they tasted a bit like lychee. Anyway, they’re firm in texture. I found the flavor to be artificial. But the jellies are cute.

Golden Spoon Grand Opening in Tustin

Fro-yo girl here. I attended my first froyo shop grand opening of 2024 today, April 7, at Golden Spoon in Tustin, California. Golden Spoon was founded in Tustin in 1983 by Jeff Barnes, so it’s nice to see it return to its place of origin.

For the grand opening, guests were treated to free minis (up to two flavors, with toppings) from 12 PM – 1 PM. Choose from ten froyo flavors a day. There was one non-dairy and one no sugar added option offered today. I also spotted milkshake machines, though I didn’t see shakes on the menu today. The number of toppings offered was typical for a froyo shop. There were a few warm sauces offered.

Prices: Mini ($4.75)/ Regular ($5.75)/ Large ($6.75)/ Quart ($15.50)

The mini was a generous size and the yogurt texture was smooth and thick. The shop had a soft opening last week. It looked new and clean inside.

New Yogurtland Spring Froyo Flavors: Strawberry Matcha and Milk & Honey

 

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland just released two new seasonal froyo flavors for the spring, Strawberry Matcha and Milk & Honey.

Milk & Honey froyo is described as “the harmonious blend of creamy vanilla enhanced with the sweetness of honey.” It’s nonfat, gluten-free, and made with real honey. I didn’t taste the vanilla, but I could definitely taste the honey. It was fine but I wasn’t really feeling it since there was no yogurt tang. I prefer Yogurtland’s Honeycomb Tart froyo which they introduced back in 2011. I haven’t seen it for over 10 years, sadly. Recommended toppings: granola, fresh berries.

Strawberry Matcha froyo is described as, “bright, fresh strawberries combined with the earthy notes of Matcha create this blissful flavor.” It’s nonfat, gluten-free, and made with real strawberries and matcha. When I first tasted it, I could really taste the strawberry. The more I ate, the more I could taste the matcha. It’s nicely balanced so you can taste both and the matcha isn’t bitter. I know strawberry matcha is a popular drink, but I haven’t had one that I really enjoy. The strawberries tend to be too sweet. I prefer Strawberry Matcha froyo. Recommended toppings: strawberries, Nilla wafers, and mochi.

Featured flavors are available for a limited time at participating locations, while supplies last.

Update: I also learned that Strawberry Mango Sorbet is back and it was named the official "Flavor of the Year." And there are new toppings that I haven't seen yet, Lychee Star Jelly and Strawberry Heart Jelly. 

There are also two exclusive online treats, the Strawberry Mango Burst and the Dirt Cup. The Strawberry Mango Burst cup features Strawberry Mango Sorbet and topped with fresh strawberries and mango bubble burst. The Dirt Cup has a chocolate base flavor topped with cookies and cream crumbles and sour gummy worms. Both are available exclusively online at yogurtland.com or through the Yogurtland app.

Jeni’s New Punk Stargonaut Collection Flavors (Includes Two Frozen Yogurt Flavors)

Fro-yo girl here. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams just introduced a new ice cream collection, Punk Stargonaut. It’s inspired by a distant galaxy. The flavor collection includes Cosmic Bloom, Nebula Berry, Purple Star Born, and Supermoon. I believe the first three flavors are new and the first two are made with yogurt (so they’re frozen yogurt).

Jeni’s scoop shops were also handing out eclipse glasses with purchase.

Cosmic Bloom froyo: This flavor seemed popular. A lot of people ordered it while I was there. It’s described as “citrusy like a mandarin, refreshing like a kiwi, and punchy like passion fruit.” It tasted like tart floral peaches. It was sweeter but still tangy.

Nebula Berry froyo: This flavor is described as “Tart like a blueberry and vibrant like a raspberry with an elderflower fragrance.” It definitely tasted like tangy berries and I could detect a bit of the elderflower scent. It’s actually quite sweet but also very tangy.

Both flavors were super flavorful, thick, and rich.

Purple Star Born: Made with cultured buttermilk, Purple Star Born is Jeni’s first grape-flavored ice cream. It’s described as “reminiscent of Concord grape and puckery-like blackcurrants. Intensely juicy!” It was also tangy and intense.

2024 Easter Froyo Shop Spirit Award Announced

Fro-yo girl here. Happy Froyo Easter! It’s time to pick the froyo shop with the most Easter spirit in 2024. I feel like there’s less Easter spirit this year, but maybe it’s because Easter is so early.

Frozen Yogurt, Past & Present in Dublin, CA

Fro-yo girl here. I can’t think about Dublin, California, without fondly remembering Blush Organic Frozen Yogurt, and the sweet owner, Jonathan Rim. Blush opened in June 2008 and made the best froyo in that area. That location is now Teaspoon, a boba shop. Other froyo shops followed, notably two self-serve froyo shops in 2010: Yogurtland and Tutti Frutti. Blush remained the premium froyo choice in the Tri-Valley.

Today, you can get froyo at Yogurtland, Cuppa Yo, and Nick the Greek. Yogurtland was the last froyo shop standing. Cuppa Yo just opened in March 2024. 

Dublin currently has a population of 71,750 and is one of the fastest-growing cities in Alameda County. The median age is 36.5 and the median household income is $171,168.

Current Froyo Shops

• Cuppa Yo, 3970 Summit Rd, opened on March 23, 2024, the first California location for the Oregon-based self-serve froyo chain.
• Nick the Greek, 5246 Dublin Blvd, opened in 2021 at the old Yalla location. Nick the Greek is a fast-casual café that also serves Greek frozen yogurt. So, it's not a froyo shop, but I'll include it on this list.
• Yogurtland, 6851 Amador Plaza Rd, Ste 102, opened in 2010, a few months after Yogurtland San Ramon, the first Yogurtland to open in the Tri-Valley. 

Past Froyo Shops

• Blush Organic Frozen Yogurt, 4640 Tassajara Rd, Ste A, was a counter-serve froyo shop, that opened in 2008. Blush later expanded and opened shops in Burlingame, Milpitas, Pleasanton, San Francisco, and Walnut Creek. The froyo recipes were proprietary and amazing. The last Blush locations to close were Pleasanton and Dublin, in 2020.
• Menchie’s, 3742 Fallon Rd, Ste 650, opened in 2014 in the Fallon Gateway shopping center and closed in 2019
• Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt, 4930 Dublin Blvd, Ste 720, was located at Hacienda Crossings from 2010 to 2020. The pandemic probably was the reason it closed for good.
• Yalla Mediterranean, 5246 Dublin Blvd, opened in November 2015 and closed in 2020. It wasn’t a froyo shop, but the fast-casual Mediterranean eatery did serve Greek frozen yogurt with Greek toppings. The location was taken over by Nick the Greek.
• Yogurt Delight, 7840 Amador Valley Blvd, was a self-serve froyo shop inside Valero gas station’s convenience store. It opened in 2016 and may have closed in 2019.

Did I miss any froyo shops in Dublin? Let me know if I did.

Yogurtland Burbank Closed for Remodeling

 

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland in Burbank, California, is closed for remodeling from March 25 – March 27.

Note, the Yogurtland website and app and Google Places do not note that this location is currently closed.

Cuppa Yo Grand Opening in Dublin on March 23

 

Fro-yo girl here. Cuppa Yo’s first location in California, located in Dublin, California (East Bay), has announced its grand opening date, Saturday, March 23. I won’t be able to be there, but I’m sure I’ll visit the shop in the future.

Cuppa Yo was founded in 2009 in Bend, Oregon. They’ve been signing franchisees and opening many new stores recently. The concept is self-serve and can now be found in multiple states.

The Dublin store will be in Tivoli Plaza, a new retail plaza on Summit Road. For updates, follow Cuppa Yo Dublin's Instagram account, @cuppayo.dublin

New Pinkberry Spring Flavor: Mango Lemonade Frozen Yogurt

Fro-yo girl here. Happy first day of spring! And with spring comes new spring froyo flavors. Pinkberry just introduced a new spring flavor, mango lemonade frozen yogurt.

Mango lemonade froyo is available for a limited time at participating Pinkberry locations. The new flavor blends the sweetness of mangoes with the tanginess of a good lemonade. The recommended toppings for mango lemonade froyo are fresh mango, mango puree, and a lemon wedge.

Mango lemonade froyo: I liked it a lot! Mango froyo tends to be too sweet. Adding lemon to mango adds the tang that I crave. The texture was smooth and icy. It reminded me of Blush Organic Frozen Yogurt’s mango froyo…something I haven’t tasted for a LONG time. My recommended toppings are fresh mango and raspberries for added sweetness and tang with a Belgian butter waffle cookie for crunch.

Pinkberry is also adding two new crushed teas: Passion Mango and Watermelon. Both teas feature fresh pieces of fruit.

Prices Increase For the Third Time This Year at Yogurtland Pasadena On Lake Avenue

 

Fro-yo girl here. In January 2024, I thought I saw a sign saying that the price per ounce at Yogurtland Pasadena on Lake Avenue was $0.69/oz. It was $0.67/oz in December 2023. The price was increased to $0.71/oz in February, crossing the $0.70/oz threshold that many froyo shops were hovering just below.

Amazingly, the price just went up again in March, to $0.75/oz. That’s three price hikes in three months. Seems crazy?

Menchie’s New Spring Vibes Spoon & March Promotions

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s first new spoon of the year continues a tradition of introducing a spring-themed froyo spoon. The new spoon is bright yellow and features Menchie’s friend, PB, holding a cup of Menchie’s froyo in one hand and a spoon in the other. The amount of detail makes the spoon super cute. You can see that PB is holding a Menchie’s spoon and the cup of froyo has Menchie’s face on it. The froyo is covered in sprinkles. The spoon says “Spring Vibes!” on the handle. On the back, you can see the back of PB. The spoon feels nice and heavy.

Alden’s Organic Greek Yogurt Bar Review

Fro-yo girl here. Alden’s Organic Greek Yogurt Bars were marked with a New For You sign at Sprouts in Eagle Rock (Los Angeles). One box contains four individually wrapped bars. Each bar is 2.5 fl oz. A box was $5.99 on sale and $7.99 regular price.

For some reason, the new bars are not listed on the Alden’s Ice Cream website. I also could not find a press release about the new bars. Sprouts had two flavors: Mint Fudge Twist, Chocolate Fudge Twist.

Mint Fudge Twist bars are made with real organic fudge and organic Greek yogurt. They’re non-GMO, gluten-free, and free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, carrageenan, and antibiotics. And they contain live & active probiotic cultures. The bar looked like a Yasso bar, with the fudge swirled into the mint yogurt. The texture was close to ideal: creamy, smooth, and soft. The bar did not taste like yogurt but it had a nice, refreshing mint flavor. It wasn’t crazy sweet and the fudge was nice – you could taste it and the flavor wasn’t overwhelming. I couldn’t taste the monk fruit. It was masked by the other flavors.

One bar is 90 calories with 3g total fat, 14g total carbs, 11g total sugars, and 2g protein.

Update: The press release came out. The available flavors are:

• Mango Twist
• Chocolate Fudge Twist
• Mint Fudge Twist
• Espresso Twist
• Salted Caramel Twist
• Strawberry Twist

New Spring Toppings at Yogurtland

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland is ready for spring with new toppings. First, they have gummy rainbow clusters. They look great with the seasonal flavor, Lucky Irish Mint frozen yogurt. I think they’re Nerds? But the sign didn’t say Nerds. Nerds has gummy rainbow clusters that are gummy and sweet on the inside and crunchy and tangy on the outside.

I also spotted something called Strawberry Condensed Milk. I wasn’t sure what it was. It was a small square. I did some research and they’re probably using Yuki & Love’s strawberry condensed milk snowflake cake. It looks like the sign on the toppings bar was cut from the Yuki & Love package. The square was firm and chewy, like nougat, with strawberry flavor that tasted real. It had something in it with a little crunch – cookies? I liked how it wasn’t too sweet. It didn’t eat like a “cake” to me. Yuki & Love strawberry condensed milk snowflake cake is a product of Taiwan and it’s sold at Costco. Love trying something new and tasty at Yogurtland!

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