iCream showroom
Pinkberry vending machine in Koreatown
Fro-yo girl here. The “closing” of the Pinkberry vending machine at The Shops at Santa Anita in Arcadia, CA, sparked my curiosity about the other Pinkberry vending machines. The first installation was at the Cabazon Outlets in March 2022.
Posted reviews claim that the machine no longer works:
- “Took my 20. No refund and no ice cream. Hang up after making a phone call and never answer the phone again.”
- “Scam machine, paid money and no yogurt. Website is dead and they’re not answering their phone.”
- “Scam !!!!! you pay and no yogurt”
The Beverly Center machines are marked as temporarily closed by Google.
The Ontario Airport machines are not listed on the airport website. Other vending machines are listed on the airport website.
The Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks does not list the vending machine, although other vending machines are listed on the mall website.
Pacific View Mall, Ventura: The mall website does not list the vending machine
Westfield Topanga: There is no mention of the vending machine on the mall website
The iCream showroom is still there but it was closed on a weekday afternoon (it was dark inside and the door was locked). There were five vending machines inside, wrapped in tarps. The showroom was supposed to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Koreatown was the most recent installation. It was installed in July 2023. Less than a year later, it’s still at Koreatown Plaza but the machine was turned off. There was a new Sprinkles Cupcake vending machine next to the Pinkberry vending machine last July and that's no longer there either.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
