Miami Froyo Scene & History

Fro-yo girl here. The recent surge of froyo shop openings in Miami warranted both a froyo trip and a look at Miami’s froyo scene and history. I’ll have a separate post focused on Miami Beach. The city of Miami has a population of 487,014, less than I expected, but the Miami Metro area has over 6.4 million residents. I focused on shops in the City of Miami.

I found 15 current places to get froyo in the city of Miami, including four self-serve shops that opened in 2011 – 2012. Eight of the 15 opened in 2015 or later, and four are counter-serve. The trendiest shops right now are actually counter-serve and Greek/European in feel, with healthier toppings. Reduced sugar or sugar-free froyo and toppings were a noticeable trend. 

I found 37 closed froyo shops and 1 closed froyo truck, including many large froyo franchises. The number of closures are noted:

• Menchie’s: 5
• Pinkberry: 3
• TCBY: 6
• Tutti Fruiti: 2
• Yogen Fruz: 3
• Yogurbella: 5
• Yogurtland: 2
• Yogurtini: 2
• llaollao: 1 

Most closed before 2020, the start of the pandemic. Most were self-serve, including a few of the TCBY locations. There are no remaining branches of Pinkberry, TCBY, or Yogurtland in Miami. Of the 38 closures, 29 (76%) were part of a large franchise.
