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.
