Tutti Frutti

Great customer service! There was no one in the store, but when I walked in the one staff member working walked out and greeted me immediately, offering me sample cups and a smile. The store itself was clean and light, and I was impressed at how neat the toppings bar and yogurt area was. Lots of topping to choose from, but nothing too crazy.
There was not much variety in the yogurt options, the choices consisted of mostly fruity flavors (strawberry was my favorite), and a few dessert-​like options, but nothing unique or extremely tempting. Consistency of the yogurt was okay, favoring a more icy feel rather than creamy, most noticeable in the vanilla flavor.
I was disappointed to see that three of the machines were not working at the time, perhaps a reason the flavors were not too varied that day. Overall I would try it again, but hopefully on a day when everything is up and running properly!
Cheers!

Definitely mediocre yogurt. Yogurt was not creamy and toppings were stale or old. Not terrible if you’re craving yogurt and you’re in the area though.

It wasn’t bad but wasn’t good either. The frozen yogurt was more icy than creamy. The choice of toppings was solid but nothing special.

Let’s talk about amazing customer service. Yes the frozen yogurt was light and fluffy and the toppings were fresh and plentiful. The real cherry on the the top was the women who was working at the front counter. Honestly the friendliest and happiest person I have run into in a while, she cheered me right up and was excited to serve us! It was awesome! How many places do you go where your server is genuinely happy to serve you?

New and improved Tutti Frutti with scrumptious froyo and great management. Definitely stop by! They have board games and the owner, Cesar, is very welcoming!

Horrible experience.
Walked in, 2 «children» we will call employees by the register, did not get a hello or for that matter any acknowledgement. Just heard them laughing, the girl was obviously eating candy her mouth was blue.
Next to the yogurt… Had about 6 options to chose from. Most of the flavors were not available. Watery and gross in texture. Way too sweet. Disgusting.
Not to mention expensive?! I feel like I got ripped off… $ 13 for 2 cups, not even heavy on the toppings. I understand it’s by the ounce but that was a shocker.
If you want amazing quality fro yo with great customer service, do yourself a favor and go to Yogurt Land.

I love this place, it is very clean and fun, there is music and movies for the kids, the yogurt is delicious as well as their toppings, definitely a sweet little spot for every afternoon. The new owners have done a great job on renewing it!

I so love coming to this place the owner is very sweet she’s so friendly!!:) I love how they welcome customers. Also yogurt is very delicious

This place is dirty and gross, only five flavors, but it doesn’t matter, because they taste like frozen sweetened water anyway. Toppings = mostly cookies, gummi bears etc., fruit looked as it should have been thrown away at least two days ago. After trying one flavor, I filled my cup with a very small portion of fro yo, and left immediately, hoping to avoid food poisoning. Seriously the worst yogurt I have ever tried.

The new owner of this shop is super sweet, so I told him I’d give him 5 stars, oh well.
I really enjoy the more «fruity» flavors they randomly carry, like mango, coconut, and even banana. It’s delicious with the mochi and chia, and you can pile on the almonds and coconut without adding too much weight.
I kind of got obsessed with the flavor combo and came in for it about once a week.
But I digress, they mysteriously took away the chia seeds and hardly ever have any of those sought after flavors that made them awesome. Sometimes, this shop only has 4 choices on tap, and one is always the bland flavorless kind no normal person would want.
I miss my seedy tropical yogurt paradise.
Also, the employees seem to be unaware of a radio that cuts in and out angrily and staticy, enough where it’s better to sit it the heat as your treat retreats faster than you can treat yourself to it.

I’ve been to a few other tutti fruitti and this is not only one the worse ones it’s the worst of all frozen yogurt places I’ve ever been too!

I shouldn’t be so harsh but Tutti Frutti disappointed me with the selection and flavors. I love fro-​yo and usually stick to the basic flavors to avoid being unpleasantly surprised. When I asked the young man for a few samples he handed me 2 cups so I sampled a few. Most were decent so I selected cheesecake, strawberry and the tart. I forgot to sample the tart and man was I surprised. The tart is my favorite froyo flavor but this one was funky. It’s supposed to be tangy but it smelled and tasted spoiled so I didnt eat half of my order :(The other two flavors were fine. The toppings seemed a bit unorganized and items such as cookies and brownies were left whole or cut into big pieces. I wanted chocolate chip cookies as a topping but the cookies were the full size chip ahoy and I knew it’s just going to add to the weight quite a bit. Anyway maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t get the cookies because the ones I did choose (brownies, chocolate covered raisins and cookie dough) tasted stale and were very hard to chew :/​there are so many other froyo shops in houston I don’t see myself comjng back

Update: visited some months ago after a new owner took over. The place was cleaned very nicely with place to sit inside, unlike other yogurt places. The quality of the yogurt had improved slightly, but some of them were still mildly frostbit. I know he was still working on improving the machines, and hopefully the quality is at par now with its competitors.
I haven’t had self-​serve frozen yogurt anywhere in Houston before so my frame of reference is comparable to other cities. I found the fro-​yo here watery, frostbit and generally unpleasant. Not the best selection but not terrible. If only the quality wasn’t so terrible. I’m hoping it was an off-​day for them but noticing the other reviews, I’m thinking probably not.

I came here with a friend to simply have some frozen yogurt. My favorite flavor Tart ran out after I had already pumped out a couple oz. The nice Indian man pressed a couple buttons and told me it’d be a couple minutes. I was disappointed but knew I probably didn’t need all that frozen yogurt anyway and proceed to get my toppings. I sat outside and ate and about 15 min later he comes out and hands me a small cup of Tart yogurt :) brought a smile to my face! 5 stars for superb customer service!

I used to love this place. But I think they got new owners or something because things have gone downhill really fast. I just came from there and literally threw my whole container away after a few bites. The yogurt is now icy and bland. Their Tart flavor used to be my favorite; now it is gross. They got rid of many of the popular toppings and replaced them with generic versions. Super bummed! Won’t be back. For their sake, I hope they fix things fast. It is a great location, but I can’t imagine it lasting much longer since the quality has gotten so bad!

So gross. The yogurt was watery and the place felt filthy. We will not be back.
The place was completely empty when we walked in, so it felt sort of strange to just start serving ourselves with no employee in sight.

Wow! Simply wow
The best yogurt in town. Visited the store on weekday with my girlfriend and was very clean. The guy was very cheerful and helped us choosing the flavors. Tastes keep on coming. Would definitely suggest the place

Been to this location once before and it was great then. I don’t know what happened :(I’d have to say this was the worse frozen yogurt I have ever tried. I will not be returning! The staff had no personality, a little on the dirty side and the yogurt I did not eat! Very disappointed!!!

Second time at this particular Tutti Frutti. They always have flavors I like and let you grab your own tasting cups, which I love. They have two little tables outside for outdoor sitting, so that’s cool. Not sure about the exact money amount per ounce, but it was not expensive at all. Definitely recommend.

You know that feeling when you just had a really good dinner, and filled up just enough but not too much, so now you’re looking for a dessert spot to top you off? Well that’s how the hub and I felt, and decided we wanted fro yo.
After googling spots in the area, we found this tutti frutti location… We thought we’d hit the jackpot until we walked in.
There was no employee to be found in the store. We helped ourself to the sample cups, and noticed all the yogurt dispensers were really sloppy. Melted yogurt in all the little ‘drip trays’, not a great variety of flavors, and the consistency of the yogurt itself was ‘off’. Like watered down or something. So after reluctantly filling my cup with some clear, liquidy fro yo, I see the toppings bar. I was so ready to just leave! It was messy, the fruit looked old and slimy. Not a huge selection either.
Finally after we were approaching the register, a guy appears from the back, checks us out, and walks back to the back. We could have left with the cash register and he’d probably not noticed.
So utterly disappointed. To top it all off, hub had to use the restroom, and it was disgusting… Like porta-​potty gross.
Tutti fruttis are definitely not all created equal. I will never return to this location.

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?
Tutti Frutti’s soy-​based frozen yogurt means several things:
— healthy!
— happy lactose intolerant people!
— gluten-​free!
— protein-​enriched!
— non-​GMO!
Also,
they have really awesome MOCHI as a topping. Which I will get to later.
Tutti Frutti is hidden in that corner of Hawthorne and Montrose, with the really bad parking lot. Be careful parking your car in the tiny spaces, this parking lot thinks that it is in New England.
The store itself is tiny, and sparkling clean. The yogurt flavors are lined up at the back, toppings clearly displayed towards the front. It’s self-​serve, and you can get as much as you’d like of anything, and mix anything you want.
They are generous with free tastes of the flavors. I was so happy to be able to have frozen yogurt without popping Lactaid pills every few bites, and I tried all the flavors. My friend and I both settled on Raspberry Pomegranate.
And now, my confession is that I really only eat frozen yogurt as a guise for my obsession with mochi! The ratio of mochi to yogurt in my cup was a little crazy, but this is why I love self-​serve places. The guy at the register looked at me curiously as I scooped practically the entire bin of mochi into my cup. Fortunately, Tutti Frutti’s mochi lived up– soft, perfectly textured, multi-​colored fun!
There are a few tables outside, and we enjoyed our frozen yogurt drenched in Houston’s infamous balmy 80-​degree humid mid-​December weather.
Thank you, Tutti Frutti, for nourishing me as I continue on my epic quest for lactose-​free dessert!

I love Tutti Fruitti! So glad they opened one up in the Montrose area conveniently located next to Berry Hill and Starbucks near Westheimer. It’s cool how they are NOT sheisty about tasting their flavors (ahem, Swirll). The hipster looking cashier just handed us a few sample cups and we went at it (coconut, red velvet, vanilla, almond, chocolate, cake batter, Hawaiian Sorbet, too many too remember). Mmm… watermelon sorbet was my favorite though, its not that sweet.
Always go with the tart yogurt for the nutritious value and fruit toppings for added antioxidants or you can over indulge with a variety of cookie & candybar crumbles! It’s a great place to bring your date or boo for a frozen treat in this summer heat. Hits the frozen dessert spot. Wish there was a shaved ice place in the area though. hmm. food for thought.

The fro-​yoyo addiction continues. There are too many flavors to try for a mere dilettante — this takes commitment to try everything. That is what earns the extra star — this is not a Blues Brother place where they serve «both kids» (e.g. country AND western or vanilla AAAAAAAND chocolate)
Set amidst one of the better strip malls in the area, home to my coffee at Starbucks, my bagels at Einstein’s, AND my fish tacos /​margaritas at Berry Hill sits Tutti Frutti. If you are into Egyptology then in text message exchanges with other fun people you can tell them to meet you at King Tut’s and they will totally get it.
The worst thing about the place is that the parking lot is busy outside … but you put up with it for the other places, so put up with it for some froyo

Ok, I want to clarify my flavor comments a little. After looking at the website and seeing all the different flavors (about 50), there are still A LOT I haven’t tried yet. What I’ve noticed at this location is they almost always have the Cheesecake, Yellowcake Batter, Original and either Death by Chocolate or Vanilla. I’ve had cheesecake a couple times and I think it lacks the cream cheese flavor. Doesn’t taste bad, it’s cold and sweet, but it’s not a strong flavor. The others are good –yellowcake batter being my favorite out of the ones I’ve mentioned here. It tastes soooo sinfully delicious.
Flavors I’m waiting to try? Green Tea! Coffee! Cappuccino! Strawberry Cheesecake! Pina Colada! BRING ‘EM ON!

WOW! Amazing flavors! The minute you walk into Tutti Frutti, you are immediately greeted by the friendliest, most down to Earth people. Each location is individually run and this yogurt shop is family run, brother (Jimbo) and sister (Brandy).
The set up is self-​serve meaning you choose the flavor (s) of your choice, add toppings (fruit, candy, cookies, etc) and weigh. Its that easy! At 42 cents an ounce, its a steal. Out of their 14 different flavors, I like to choose Strawberry Kiwi, Mango, and Almond. Then I top it off with Mango (yes, more mango) and mochi balls. If you haven’t had mochi balls, they’re a MUST!!!
What I like second best is their construction. I can either stay indoors with my friends and watch music videos, or relax outside on their super cute patio furniture and listen to Berryhill’s DJ spinning records outside. If you haven’t been to the area, let me tell you… its the perfect place to people watch and make new friends.
I could go on an on, but I’ll let you decide what you think. All I know is that I have a new favorite yogurt stop. I’m a customer for life!!!
