All the Current Froyo Offerings at Ralphs

 

Fro-yo girl here. I visited the Ralphs near LACMA to check out their froyo selection. It’s a larger Ralphs store. These are the froyo products that I spotted:

• Jeni’s Ice Cream pints: While most of Jeni’s produces mostly ice cream, the Lemon & Blueberries Parfait is made with fresh cultured buttermilk and yogurt. That’s frozen yogurt.
• Simple Truth YoGreek Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars: Simple Truth is Ralph’s private label. YoGreek bars are their answer to Whole Foods Greek froyo bars. There are four bars per box.
• Yasso: Ralphs carried Yasso Greek yogurt bars, including the chocolate-dipped varieties. They also carried Yasso Poppables, the bite size, chocolate-covered Greek froyo treats, and the froyo sandwiches.

With three brands of froyo, Ralphs has fewer froyo brands as Bristol Farms and the same number as Whole Foods and Vons.

Froyo Scene in Clovis, CA

Clovis is the second largest city in Fresno County, behind Fresno. It is known for its small town atmosphere and western frontier history. The current population is estimated to be 129,196 with a median age of 35.3 years. The average household income in Clovis is $128,557 with a poverty rate of 7.44%.

I found five froyo shops that are currently open in Clovis. All five shops are self-serve. I also found five closed froyo shops. Menchie’s opened a second location this year, and SweetFrog just opened in Clovis. There were far more froyo shop closures, 13, in Fresno, but froyo shops opened earlier in Fresno. The shops that opened in Clovis stayed open longer, probably due to having fewer competitors. 

The oldest froyo shop in Clovis was TCBY. The oldest self-serve froyo shop, Mickey’s Yogurt, is still open. It opened in 2012.

Current Froyo Shops

• JoJo’s Yogurt, 1798 Ashlan Ave Suite 100, offers self-serve froyo and shaved snow. The shop opened in 2014.
• Menchie’s, 785 Herndon Ave #400, opened at Clovis Commons in 2015.
• Menchie’s, 3750 Shaw Ave Suite 103, Clovis, CA 93619 opened in April 2025.
• Mickey’s Yogurt, 2195 Shaw Ave, is a family-owned, non-franchise, self-serve froyo shop that opened in 2012.
• SweetFrog, 1990 N Fowler Ave Ste 106, opened in September 2025.

Closed Froyo Shops

• Big Kahuna Yogurt, 1250 Shaw Ave. #103, opened at Sierra Vista Mall in 2013 and closed in 2020 (likely due to the pandemic). It was self-serve. Big Kahuna has several locations in California, mainly in Central California.
• Clovis Pizza Subs Yogurt, 1345 N Willow Ave, Ste 100, opened in 2019 and closed in 2021.
• TCBY, 701 W Shaw Ave, may have closed in 2011, but may have been open since the 90s
• Yummy Yogurt, 1250 Shaw Ave, may have replaced Big Kahuna inside Sierra Vista Mall. The space is now occupied by La Michoacana, so Yummy Yogurt was open some time between 2020 – 2024.
• Yum Yum Yogurt, 1195 Herndon Ave, was a self-serve froyo shop that opened in 2013 and closed in 2017.

Still Open But Stopped Serving Froyo

• Costco, 2270 Clovis Ave, Clovis, CA 93612

Second 2025 Price Hike at Yogurtland Lake in Pasadena

 

Fro-yo girl here. Froyo prices are rising again. Yogurtland on Lake in Pasadena just increased the price from $0.77/oz to $0.79/oz. That’s only the second price hike this year. In 2024, they increased the prices three times. I hope it stays at $0.79/oz at least till the end of this year. They always raise prices in January.

National Spoon Day 2025 at Yogurtland

 

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Spoon Day! Yogurtland is celebrating National Spoon Day with exclusive new giant spoons for the sixth time. This year’s spoon color is Midnight Plum, a dark purple. The spoons are a gift with a minimum $12 in-store purchase and a maximum of four spoons per transaction.

I heard that my store had several boxes of giant spoons. This is also the last giant spoon event of 2025.

The giant spoon says Yogurtland on the front of the spoon (on the handle) and nothing on the back. The spoon is exactly 12 inches long.

It’s always fun to see giant spoon collectors who show up early for their spoons.

In case you’re wondering, the previous National Spoon Day giant Yogurtland spoons were: pink and green (2020), raspberry (2021), turquoise (2022), dark blue (2023), and apricot (2024).

Harvest Pumpkin froyo: Menchie’s Harvest Pumpkin froyo is made with real pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger. Recommended toppings: Butterfinger, chocolate shell, Special Dark chocolate chips

Fruity Cereal froyo: This is a pretty pale pink froyo that tastes like Fruity Pebbles milk. It’s on the mild side, so it would go well with other flavors like vanilla.

2025 Pumpkin Yogurt Rankings

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Pumpkin Month and National Pumpkin Spice Day! It’s also time for the annual pumpkin yogurt rankings. I was surprised that many markets had little to no pumpkin yogurt. Whole Foods had the best selection of pumpkin yogurt this year. This year, I’m ranking five pumpkin yogurt products, all sourced from Whole Foods. I tried all five side by side but not blind.

The contenders:

• Chobani Pumpkin Spice, 5.3 oz, lowfat blended Greek yogurt
• Culina Pumpkin Spice, 5 oz, Greek-style blended dairy-free yogurt (coconut-based), sweetened with maple syrup
• Ellenos Pumpkin Pie, 6 oz, whole milk Greek yogurt, with pie toppings in a separate compartment
• Noosa Pumpkin, 8 oz, whole milk Australian yogurt
• Siggi’s Pumpkin & Spice, 5.3 oz, lowfat blended Icelandic skyr

The rankings (in order of preference):

1. Ellenos: Last year’s winner was still the best pumpkin yogurt, even without the buttery spiced cookie crumble topping that they provide. It tastes the most like pumpkin pie, especially with the cookie crumble.
2. Culina: The most spice-forward pumpkin yogurt, I also enjoyed the tang. I could taste the coconut, ginger, and clove, but the pumpkin, not so much. It was less sweet than all but Siggi’s.
3. Siggi’s: The most sour of the yogurts that I tried, it also had a hint of nutmeg.
4. Chobani: I could taste the nutmeg and cinnamon. It was not super sweet but had an aftertaste that the others didn’t.
5. Noosa: I do like Noosa in general, but the yogurt was just too sweet and didn’t have much pumpkin or spice.

I haven’t seen La Fermiere’s pumpkin yogurt yet this year.
