An Update on Holsom by Yogurtland

 

Fro-yo girl here. I don’t make it to Huntington Beach too often, but I realized that it had been quite some time since I heard anything about Holsom by Yogurtland. Sure enough, the concept was discontinued, possibly in 2024 or earlier. It is not mentioned on the Yogurtland website.

Holsom by Yogurtland was a new concept with an expanded food and beverage menu launched in late 2024. The made-to-order sweet and savory toasts and grain bowls were designed to be delicious, wholesome, and affordable. Yogurtland froyo continued to be offered.

The first Holsom by Yogurtland opened in November 2020 at the Edinger location in Huntington Beach, CA. Interestingly, they did away with self-serve for the frozen yogurt (though this was during the pandemic, so that wasn’t unusual) when it first opened.

The Lakewood Yogurtland was converted to Holsom by Yogurtland in May 2021. It no longer offers the Holsom items.

It looks like there were only two Holsom locations. I'm glad the locations didn't close. They just dropped the Holsom menu items.

Yogurtland’s founding family also launched a fried chicken and egg sandwich concept called Egg N Bird in 2021. The Maywood location opened in 2021 and closed this year. Egg N Bird currently has three locations: Cypress, CA, Upland, CA, and Plano, TX. Egg N Bird does not offer froyo.

Remember when Yogurtland Lakewood offered breakfast?

Yogurtland Lakewood Grand Reopening – New Menu Items, New Look

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland Lakewood recently closed for remodeling and reopened with a new look and expanded menu. They’re having a grand reopening event this Saturday, May 22. The first 50 people will get a free $20 promo card. They’ll have music, a balloon artist, games and more.

The green tiled wall has been replaced by white rectangular tiles. The Yogurtland logo is accented with a green leaf with the initial H, mini green leaves, and the word Holsom. So Yogurtland Lakewood is now Holsom by Yogurtland.

There are new menu items: Smoothies, shakes, fruit bowl fusions, and create your own acai bowls. While Yogurtland Lakewood already had shakes, these are different. Before, you’d choose whatever you wanted and they’d blend it. Now there are set flavors. Prices are very reasonable ($4.99 -$7.95). They added premium toppings like goji berries, flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, matcha powder, cacao powder, etc.

Custom Shakes Now at Yogurtland Lakewood

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland Lakewood now offers custom shakes. It’s currently the only Yogurtland location to offer shakes. The shakes are $5.99 each. They’re available in one size.

The process is easy. Pick up a metal cup at the shake station and fill it to the line with frozen yogurt (you can choose any flavor/s you’re in the mood for). Then, fill the cup to the top with anything from the toppings bar, including sauces, fruits, cheesecake, candy, cereal, etc. Once the cup is full, take it to a Yogurtland employee for blending. After blending, you can add whipped cream and more toppings!

I did hear that gummy bears sometimes get caught in the blender so you might want to save those as a topping vs. use them as a blend in.

I didn’t want a very sweet shake, so I chose plain tart (one of their best flavors) and doused it with lots of raspberry puree. Their premium fruit purees are really good. I was essentially creating a raspberry tart froyo shake. For mix-ins, I selected fresh strawberries, blueberries and some Cap’n Crunch.

My shake was super thick, tart and fruity. The fruit seeds added texture. The Cap’n Crunch got lost after being blended but maybe I didn’t put enough in my cup. The cup was 20 ozs and it was filled to above the brim. I added another spoonful of Cap’n Crunch. It’s a good deal – tons of yogurt and toppings – but it’s super filling. I can’t eat over 20 ozs of froyo at once.

With so many froyo flavors, toppings, sauces and syrups, there’s room for endless creativity and customization.

P.S. Don’t forget $5 Unlimited Cup Tuesdays at Yogurtland Lakewood, August 22 & August 29 from 11 AM - 5 PM.
