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