Froyo Shops in Reno, Nevada

Honey Treat

Yogurt Beach

Fro-yo girl here. While Lake Tahoe doesn’t have many froyo shops, Reno is large enough to support multiple froyo shops. Reno has a population of 274,900, while the Reno metropolitan area is home to 575,000 residents. Reno is approximately 50 minutes from Lake Tahoe and seven hours from Las Vegas.

TCBY or Honey Treat was likely the first froyo shop in Reno. Honey Treat opened in 1982, I think, but I also saw a post from Honey Treat saying that it had been in Reno since the 1970s. If that's true, Honey Treat was the first froyo shop in Reno. However, I'm not so sure that Honey Treat has been around for quite that long.

In 2010, U-Swirl became the first self-serve froyo shop in Reno. Another self-serve shop, Yogurt Beach, soon followed. Today, Yogurt Beach is the clear leader in the area, with five branches. Yogurt Beach is a family-owned business established in Reno, Nevada in 2010. It has expanded to include locations outside of Nevada.

I found eight places to get froyo in Reno: five Yogurt Beach shops, 2 Nick the Greek branches, and one Honey Treat Yogurt. Another Nick the Greek is expected to open soon at 13987 S Virginia St., Reno.

I found 12 closed froyo shops, including three SweetFrog branches and three U-Swirl branches. Costco used to serve froyo at the snack bar.

Froyo Shops In Lake Tahoe

Summit Swirl

Poppy's

Fro-yo girl here. The Lake Tahoe Basin has a population of approximately 60,000 residents, with 70% living in California and 30% in Nevada. The largest city in the area is South Lake Tahoe, which has roughly 21,300 residents and no dedicated froyo shops. The area has many small towns including Tahoe City, Incline Village, Olympic Valley, and Kings Beach. Truckee is technically not in the Lake Tahoe Basin rim but is about 15 - 20 miles away.

The area receives 2 to 3 million unique visitors a year. The busiest season is the summer, followed by the winter. The area includes 11 ski resorts.

The froyo options are few and far between, but the existing shops have survived for years. Also, all these shops are independently owned and not part of a franchise. I found six places to get froyo and two closed froyo shops. The oldest was Susie Scoops in Incline Village. The newest shop was Rainbow Sprinkles, which opened in 2017 and closed in 2018.

Current Places to Get Froyo

• Euro Sweets, 3001 N Village Dr, Truckee, CA, may have opened in 2012. It offers self-serve froyo, gelato, and candy.
• Euro Sweets, 1850 Village South Rd, Olympic Valley, CA, opened in 2015 at The Village at Palisades Tahoe.
• Poppy’s, 521 N Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA, opened in 2011 and serves froyo, ice cream, and espresso drinks. It is a window with outdoor seating only and two froyo flavors a day. 
• Summit Swirl, 11325 Deerfield Dr, Truckee, CA, opened in 2015. It is self-serve, with eight flavors a day. Summit Swirl seems to be the best froyo option in the area.
• Susie Scoops, 899 Tahoe Blvd, Incline Village, NV, offers ice cream, soft serve froyo, smoothies, and more. Susie Scoops opened in Incline Village in 2008.
• Sweet Tahoe Time, 8636 N Lake Blvd, Kings Beach, CA, opened in 2016. It is primarily a hard scoop ice cream shop, but does offer chocolate and vanilla soft serve froyo.

Closed Froyo Shops

• Rainbow Sprinkles Donuts and Frozen Yogurt, 1036 Emerald Bay Rd, South Lake Tahoe, CA, opened in 2017 and closed in 2018. It offered donuts and self-serve froyo.
• Sno Frozen Yogurt Café, 4125 Lake Tahoe Blvd, Ste I, South Lake Tahoe, CA, opened in 2015. The self-serve froyo shop offered 12 flavors of froyo, over 50 toppings, and coffee, hot chocolate, and tea. It closed in 2016.

Did I miss any froyo shops in Lake Tahoe? If so, let me know.

Froyo Scene in Gilroy, CA

 

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland announced plans to open a branch in Gilroy, CA, so the froyo scene is finally going to get a major upgrade. There are currently three self-serve froyo shops in Gilroy: Top A Lot, Yogofino, and Yotealicious. Four froyo shops have closed, although one was just renamed and one was a Greek café that happened to serve Greek froyo. Fro-yo Delite became Fro-Yo Fever, which closed in 2018. Fro-yo Delite was the first froyo shop to open in Gilroy in 2010. Yogofino and Yotealicious (formerly known as YoghArt) were established in 2013 and 2012.

Gilroy, known as the Garlic Capital of the World, has a population of 59,000 and is located in southern Santa Clara County. The median household income was $133,107 in 2024, higher than the national average. Gilroy is known for the Gilroy Garlic Festival and Gilroy Premium Outlets.

Places to Get Froyo

• Top A Lot, 8155 Arroyo Cir 8003 Suite #3, is a self-serve froyo shop that opened in 2024 at the Gilroy Premium Outlets. The original Top A Lot opened in Santa Cruz, CA, in 2008.
• Yogofino, 745 1st St, is a self-serve froyo shop that opened in 2013. The logo looks like Yogofina’s, but it’s spelled differently.
• Yotealicious, 1230 1st St, Suite #105, is a self-serve froyo shop with bubble tea, smoothies, and snacks. It took over the YoghArt space.

Closed Places to Get Froyo

• Fro-Yo Fever, 6955 Camino Arroyo Ste 40, replaced Fro-yo Delite and closed in 2018
• Fro-yo Delite, 6955 Camino Arroyo Ste 40, was a self-serve froyo shop that opened in 2010. The name was changed to Fro-Yo Fever, possibly in 2015.
• Nick the Greek, 739 1st St, was a fast casual Greek restaurant that served Greek froyo. The Gilroy branch opened in 2021 and closed in 2024.
• YoghArt, 1230 1st St, Suite #105, was a self-serve shop that opened in 2012. The ownership changed in March 2013. The name was changed to Yotealicious in 2018.

Not Closed, No Longer Serves Froyo

• Costco, 7251 Camino Arroyo Dr, used to offer soft serve froyo but switched to soft serve ice cream.

Did I miss any froyo shops or businesses serving froyo in Gilroy? Let me know.

Skittles Yogurt Fruity Animal Gummies Review

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Skittles Yogurt Fruit Animal Gummies at World Market. One pouch is 50g and was priced at $5.29. The gummies are imported from China. They’re made with real juice. The pouch is resealable. One pouch is 180 calories.

Each pouch comes with five different shapes and flavors. I think they’re all supposed to be animal-shaped, but I can’t tell what the round green shape is supposed to be. The gummies are very soft. I was hoping for something chewier.

• Strawberry (cat-face): mild berry and yogurt flavor, sweet, soft texture; the strawberry flavor was faint
• Original (paw-shaped) a little firmer, moist like a peelable gummy, sweet Yakult flavor
• Peach (pig-shaped): probably the best tasting, like sweet peaches mixed with Yakult, soft, moist
• Mango (fish-shaped) tastes like mango, very soft, little chew, moist, sweet
• Lemon (smiley-face) tastes medicinal and unpleasant, like a lemon cleaning product

The texture just didn’t do it for me. I also did not enjoy the flavors. The lemon was the worst. 

These gummies taste nothing like Skittles. The different colors and flavors fit with the taste the rainbow Skittles slogan though.

2 out of 5 stars.

Yoga-urt Glendale Turns 11

Fro-yo girl here. Congrats to Yoga-urt on eleven years. I can vouch for the fact that Yoga-urt is just as good as it was on day one, only now there are many more flavors to choose from. In fact, today marked the launch of the newest flavor, Almond Joy. Almond Joy is a chocolate coconut almond flavor that is plant-based, organic, hand-crafted, all-natural and full of goodness (including live and active cultures).

Chocolate Bliss is Yoga-urt’s most popular flavor, and I’m sure that Almond Joy will delight chocolate froyo fans. I’m not a chocolate froyo fan, but I could taste the quality of ingredients, including the chocolate and coconut. It was rich, creamy, and thick. Recommended toppings: almonds and magic shell.

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

Smorgasburg Ice Cream Alley 2026 Report

 

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Ice Cream Day! Ice Cream Alley is back at Smorgasburg Los Angeles on Sundays from now through September 6. The lineup of vendors changes every year, though it’s definitely smaller than it used to be.

Free Froyo Event for Descendants: Wicked Wonderland at Menchie’s

 

Fro-yo girl here. Thanks to Disney+, Descendants: Wicked Wonderalnd, and Menchie’s for today’s free froyo event. I went to Menchie’s in Burbank, CA, for the event, because I know that they’re always organized. One employee handed out 50 slips of paper to the first fifty guests. It was a hot day, and people were lined up well before 3 PM. The first five ounces were free.

They had the new red and blue Menchie’s spoons too.

Descendants: Wicked Wonderland is now streaming. It’s a teen fantasy series.

Ice Factory Strawberry Sorbet Ice Bar Review

Fro-yo girl here. While China first popularized ice bars in cute shapes, the trend spread to South Korea. Ice Factory launched a line of fruit-shaped ice bars that claim to be

the first disposable mold packaged ice cream). The bars are individually wrapped. I spotted watermelon, peach, mango, blue lemonade, and strawberry sorbet bars at H Mart in Arcadia. The bars are $3.99 each.

Strawberry sorbet bar: The bar is 67 ml or 2.27 fl. oz. It comes in a plastic mold. You remove the bar and put together the paper holder. It’s made with strawberries and contains strawberry seeds. One bar is 74 calories, 1g total fat, 16g total sugars, and 0g protein. The bar was hard (like a block of ice). I liked the flavor – it tasted like strawberry lemonade. It was tart and sweet. Once it started melting, it did get messy. It’s not as good as the bars you can get at TJ’s because it’s too hard, but it is cuter.

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

Go Greek Opens in Brentwood, Los Angeles

 

Fro-yo girl here. Go Greek is in expansion mode again and is now open in Brentwood, my old Westside neighborhood. It is modeled after a classic yogurteria that you'd find in Greece, serving classic yogurt and frozen yogurt. The mostly white shop with blue accents also looks like something you’d see in Greece.

During my visit, they had Kiehl’s bowls to promote the Kiehl’s collab. The Kiehl’s Better Summer Swirl bowl is banana froyo with pineapple, Greek cookie crumbs, toasted coconut, and cacao drizzle. I didn’t see most of those toppings. You must have to ask for them.

The Greek froyo is self-serve with six flavors a day (though during my visit, the strawberry wasn't available) and healthier toppings for $1.35/oz. Toppings include fresh fruit (more varieties than usual), cookies, dates, mochi, cacao nibs, chocolate chips, yogurt pretzels, nuts, granola, etc.

The menu also includes classic (non-frozen) Greek yogurt that's imported from Greece, sweet and savory Greek yogurt bowls, and smoothies made with Greek froyo.

Some of the toppings cost extra, including the Greek spoon sweets, honey, shaved chocolate, toasted coconut, hemp seeds, and even peanut butter. It seems stingy to me when the yogurt is almost twice as expensive as the average froyo shop. The toppings aren't that special. Even worse, they do not provide any samples.

Their best flavors are plain and Greek honey. Each is rich, creamy, smooth, quite tangy, and thick. Much as I do enjoy both, they are overly sweet.

This is the third Go Greek to open in California this year. It’s also one of two froyo shops in Brentwood.

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

Meadow, a Greek Froyo Walk-Up Window, Opens in Venice

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been noticing a new trend, froyo walk-up windows, and Venice Beach just got one this week. Meadow is a walk‑up Greek frozen yogurt window that just took over the old Jeni’s Ice Cream space. It’s a stylish-looking window and a prime location, but the execution isn’t quite there yet. The menu is extremely limited, which would be fine if the quality matched the minimalism. Unfortunately, it doesn’t.

Menu & Pricing

The menu lists three froyo creations, and one of them is specifically for kids. You’re not restricted to the creations though. You can customize flavors and toppings. The adult cups are $14, toppings included. Definitely ask for samples before you decide.

The Bases

Tart (dairy): Made with Greek yogurt. The texture was loose and icy, not the dense, creamy Greek froyo people are craving right now. It wasn’t smooth, melted fast, and lacked that satisfying richness you expect from Greek-style froyo. The texture was simply off.

Matcha (vegan): Surprisingly, the vegan matcha was creamier and thicker than the tart, so the texture was better. I’m told that the base has probiotics. In my opinion, the coconut was too strong,, overshadowing the matcha. It also tasted quite sweet, possibly from stevia or another alternative sweetener. I wanted more matcha depth and less sweetness.

Toppings

Strawberries, strawberry purée, pistachio crunch, sprinkles, sea salt, pistachios, dark chocolate drizzle, granola.

You can’t see the toppings. There’s no visual appeal of the toppings, no colorful toppings bar, no moment of froyo joy where you pick your favorites. Everything is hidden away.

The granola was disappointing — very plain, mostly oats, no clusters, no nuts, no texture contrast.

Service

Service was excellent — friendly and helpful. I had many questions, and she answered all of them.

Meadow has potential, but the product needs work. Better texture, stronger flavors, and a more appealing toppings experience would go a long way. Meadow is a pop-up. It should be open for a few months.

July Promotions at Menchie’s

Fro-yo girl here. It’s a new month, which means new promotions at Menchie’s. First up, the featured flavor is a returning favorite, Watermelon Sorbet made with Jolly Rancher flavor. It’s tart and tastes just like a watermelon Jolly Rancher. This flavor was first introduced in 2018.

I spotted two brand new spoons. They look like the regular Menchie’s spoons, only the colors are different. There is a red spoon and a blue spoon. The spoons say This Is My Mix on the handle and feature the image of Menchie. The spoons were inspired by the 4th of July.

I saw signs around the store for the upcoming Disney Descendants: Wicked Wonderland movie and a special cup design. The cups show various characters from the movie. The movie comes out on July 16. The Descendants flavor is no sugar added strawberry froyo. They are also offering a new topping, cinnamon apple for the Descendants promotion.

Save the date, Friday, July 17. To celebrate the launch of Disney’s Descendants: Wicked Wonderland the first 50 guests at 3 PM local time will get the first 5 oz for free.

And from July 13 - 16, scan the Menchie’s app for a chance to win prizes.

Yogurtland is Coming to El Monte

Fro-yo girl here. Good news! Yogurtland is set to open in El Monte, CA, this month. According to Google, the location is scheduled to open on July 31 at the old Menchie’s spot. Yogurtland announced a franchise agreement that included a location in El Monte, CA, last December. The new branch will be known as Yogurtland Santa Fe Trail.

Thanks to my Froyo Secretary for the froyo tip!

Levinsky’s Israeli Style Froyo in West Hollywood

Fro yo girl here. Levinsky, the Tel Aviv–inspired street food spot, opened in February 2026 in West Hollywood. The food, including the froyo, is kosher. But does Levinsky really offer Israeli-style froyo?

I’ve been tracking froyo in Israel for years, and most Israeli shops serve traditional soft serve frozen yogurt from a soft serve machine — places like Anita Gelato, Blueberry, and Leggenda. There are mix-in yogurt concepts in Israel, but they’re not the dominant style, at least when it comes to what’s served in shops.

Levinsky starts with a homemade Greek frozen yogurt base. You choose the add-ins, and it gets blended in a machine that looks like a drill. The froyo is $17.99, or if you want fruit only, $14.95.

Add-ons: banana, strawberries, mangos, dates, pineapple, mixed berries, Oreos, black & white chocolate log, halva, waffle, pecan

Texture & Flavor

Mix-in-style froyo naturally has more texture, but Levinsky’s version misses the mark. The texture was gritty, with noticeable bits of ice throughout. The yogurt base itself tasted too icy, and the proportions felt off — not enough yogurt, too many frozen berries.

Instead of a creamy, tangy yogurt flavor, the cup tasted mostly like frozen fruit purée. The yogurt character was almost lost.

The texture issues, icy base, and weak yogurt flavor make it hard to recommend — especially at nearly $18 a cup.

IKEA’s Froyo Vending Machine Is Up & Running

 

Creamy IKEA froyo

froyo from vending machine

Fro-yo girl here. IKEA’s vending machine is now serving froyo. You can get one flavor, vanilla, and one size. It’s $1.75. There was no option to add toppings. I did see three toppings on the screen, but they were marked as sold out.

The texture of the froyo was horrible. The color looked off. It was yellow and very icy. I threw it away. This proves that good soft serve machines do make a difference. Look at the cup of creamy IKEA froyo and compare it to the icy one from the vending machine.

You can still get froyo at the IKEA snack bar. The vending machine is upstairs in the seating area for the IKEA cale.

Future Froyo Shop: Lillie Frozen Yogurt

Van Leeuwen Opens in Burbank, First VL on West Coast to Offer Froyo

Fro-yo girl here. Van Leeuwen’s froyo is finally available on the West Coast. The Van Leeuwen scoop shop in downtown Burbank, CA, opened today.

The grand opening specials are:

$1 scoops or froyo from 2 PM – 5 PM

Free VL totes for the first 100 guests starting at 2 PM (not froyo totes)

I visited before 2 PM. There was a problem and only two of the four froyo flavors were available during my visit. The froyo is counter-serve. Ask for samples.

Froyo flavors:

• Tart: icier and looser than I remembered from Miami
• Matcha (not available)
• Strawberry (not available)
• Coconut: very nice, creamy, smooth, slightly tangy, tasted like yogurt

The toppings were displayed on the counter in white bowls. They included fresh fruit, pistachio kataifi, Sicilian pistachio cream, toasted coconut, sprinkles, mochi, nuts, granola, gummy bears, sauces, crumbles, strawberries in syrup, cherries, honey, whipped cream, sauces, etc.

Prices: Small with 1 topping, $7.95/ Medium with 2 toppings, $9.25/ Large with 3 toppings, $10.25. A small is actually a 4 ounce mini serving.

This location is also an ice cream scoop shop with over two dozen flavors, including vegan options. They had basic flavors like vanilla bean, chocolate, and strawberry, but also interesting flavors like Earl Grey tea, mango sticky rice, and peanut butter brownie honeycomb. One scoop was $7.95. You can also pick up a pre-packed pint of ice cream from the freezer.

I like how froyo is on the exterior sign.

Froyo Scene in Danville, CA

 

Fro-yo girl here. With Cuppa Yo opening in Danville in March, I decided to take a look at the history of froyo in Danville, CA. Danville is located in Contra Costa County, about 30 miles east of San Francisco. The current population of 44,000 residents has a median age of 45.4 years and a median household income over $230,000. It was recently ranked #1 by SafeWise’s California’s Safest Cities of 2026 report.

I found two current froyo shops, both self-serve, and a Greek casual chain that offers frozen yogurt. The three froyo shops that closed were all self-serve franchise concepts. Tutti Frutti was the first self-serve froyo shop in Danville.

Places to Get Froyo

• Cuppa Yo, 730 Camino Ramon Suite 190, opened March 2026. It is part of a self-serve frozen yogurt franchise founded in Bend, Oregon.
• Nick the Greek, 121 Hartz Ave, opened in 2023. It is a fast casual Greek café with many locations, Greek froyo served
• Yogurt Shack, 290 Hartz Ave, is an outpost of a local self-serve chain. It opened in 2016, replacing Danville Desserts

Closed Froyo Shops

• Tutti Frutti, 37 Railroad Ave, a branch of the multi-national self-serve chain, opened in 2009 and closed in 2016. It was replaced by Uji Time, the Asian soft serve chain.
• Tuttimelon, Blackhawk Shopping Plaza 3454 Blackhawk Rd, opened at the Blackhawk Shopping Plaza in April 2010 and closed a year later.
• Yogofina, 11000 Crow Canyon Rd, opened in 2010 and closed in 2013. Yogofina is a local self-serve chain. It still has a few locations. I visited in 2010.

Not Closed, Stopped Serving Froyo

• Costco, 3150 Fostoria Way #21b, used to serve froyo but replaced it with soft serve ice cream.

Did I miss any froyo shops or businesses serving froyo in Gilroy? Let me know.

New & Improved Yogurtland Toy Story 5 Spoons

 

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been having a hard time finding the new Yogurtland Toy Story 5 spoons, and I may have found out why. I noticed that it was very hard to see Buzz Lightyear on the Buzz Lightyear spoon that I found on Friday, June 19.

There’s a new, improved Buzz Lightyear spoon that has a clearer image. Rather than a thin etched outline of Buzz, you can see a 3-D version of Buzz.

The Toy Story 5 spoons are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Calabasas Coffee House Adds Froyo, Marking the Return of Froyo to Calabasas

Fro-yo girl here. Calabasas, froyo is officially back. Calabasas Coffee House (CCH) has entered its soft serve era with the launch of two flavors: matcha ice cream and Greek tart yogurt. You can get your swirl in a cup or in one of their clear bottles. It’s $10, toppings included, and there’s even a viral dot‑cake soft serve for the adventurous.

Toppings: Honey, granola, sea salt, fresh strawberries, chocolate shell, whipped cream, dot sprinkles

I had to try the Greek tart yogurt. It leaned much sweeter than average, with only a faint tang. The texture wasn’t as thick or creamy as I prefer; I found myself wishing for something firmer and more substantial. The bottle presentation was cute and novel, but it made scooping out the yogurt and toppings a bit awkward. The granola had good crunch but was also too sweet for my taste. Honestly, I enjoyed my coffee more than my froyo—and that says a lot.

Online ordering is available.

Yogurtland Toy Story 5 Spoons

Fro-yo girl here. Toy Story 5 was released today, and so too, were the Yogurtland Toy Story 5 spoons.

There are three spoons to collect: Woody (blue), Buzz Lightyear (green), and Jessie (red). The spoons show the character on the end and on the back of each character, it says Toy Story 5. It also says “Swirl up some fun with Toy Story 5” on the back of each spoon.

The Toy Story 5 spoons are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Is it just me, or do the spoons feel thinner than the usual Yogurtland spoons?

Miami Beach Froyo Scene & History

Cocolimon, Source: Yelp

Fro-yo girl here. Miami Beach has a current population of approximately 82,000 and is roughly 7.7 square miles. It is a very popular tourist destination with 5.4 million overnight visitors in 2024. The main neighborhoods are South Beach, Mid Beach, and North Beach.

I found four places to get froyo in Miami Beach. They opened between 2024 – 2026, and three of the four are counter-serve. I also found 13 closed froyo businesses, including 16 Handles, Red Mango, Pinkberry (2), and Yogen Fruz. Most of the closed shops were self-serve. Many were short-lived (open for two years or less). Mimi Frozen Yogurt survived the longest; it was open for eight years.

CURRENT PLACES FOR FROYO

• MYKA Greek Frozen Yogurt, 551 Lincoln Rd #5, founded in Madrid, Spain, opened its first US shop in Miami Beach on December 8, 2025. The froyo is counter-serve. It’s made with imported Greek yogurt, pasteurized milk, and goat kefir.
• Pharos Greek Frozen Yogurt, 110 Washington Ave CU9, shares a space with Sandwich Qbano. It is counter-serve and has a Greek-inspired appearance. Toppings are healthier and include zero sugar spreads. Pharos opened in November 2025.
• Sunshine Coffee, 1436 Washington Ave, added soft serve in April 2026. The blue soft serve is all-natural Greek yogurt with no sugar.
• Yummy Frozen Yogurt, 901 N Miami Beach Blvd, is a kosher self-serve froyo shop in North Miami Beach that opened in 2024.
