Tutti Frutti

This business is now CLOSED as of a week or two ago out of the blue. I stopped going in here after I saw a GRADE PENDING. Then once they resolved this, I decided to go back and surprisingly find an employee in there eating Chinese food out in the customer area. Of course, I was done forever with this place and the next week, I passed by discovering they were closed. Guess the red flags led to this. Lol

The yogurt was delicious! great selection! also the lady that was working was so nice and friendly. It was a delightful nightcap and i can’t wait to return!

Just called to ask if they had any of their plain tart flavor (because they often run out and take a long time to restock), the girl said yes. I go in, no plain tart…

Frozen yogurt is supposed to be frozen not watery, am I right? I walk in here craving a small taste of something chocolate or caramel flavored.
I pickup a red container and go right for dulce de leche, chocolate and nutella. The flavors were not very strong but the caramel tasted more like coffee. They were all really goupy… not the consistency I was hoping for. It was sad.
The toppings were disappointing. I usually get some sort of chocolate crunch which tends to taste like crushed oreos. However, these chocolate crunchies tasted like cardboard… literally no flavor and were just there. Ugh. I will not be going back to Tutti Frutti when there are a million other self serve options that actually taste good.

Unfortunately, we had a pretty disappointing experience this evening at Tutti Frutti. After wandering around, we finally ventured in to the shop drawn by the prospect of frozen yogurt.
First of all, I definitely didn’t find the look of the place as polished or inviting as, say, Menchie’s. They had a good selection of froyo including a few soy (vegan) flavors. I had some difficulty getting mine — there wasn’t any raspberry lemonade left and the machine wasn’t working. Ended up getting lemon and kiwi sorbet instead, which was still very tasty.
Meanwhile, a member of the party tried to add some chocolate sauce to his, without result. He drew this to the attention of the girl behind the counter, but she was unable to help, advising him to «push harder on it». (He tried. Didn’t work — what a surprise.) Did I mention we were a warm Saturday evening? Prime yogurt-​eating time? Shouldn’t the yogurt and topping machines be working?
So far, so bad. But the best was still to come. After we had paid — $ 24 for four, overpriced for what we got, honestly — we were informed that there weren’t any spoons left. The same girl told her male colleague to «run» out and get some. «Two minutes, guys,» she said, smiling. At this point, we were getting irritated. Ten minutes later, the place was filled with people sitting around waiting for spoons with their froyo melting. See, the staff working did nothing to inform or warn customers coming in that there weren’t any spoons… As a bonus, the napkin containers were empty (though we did finally find napkins in a stack in a corner of the counter).
I’d say it took a total of fifteen minutes for the kid to finally come back with a dollar store bag of plastic spoons. It was a warm summer evening and so, obviously, by this time we were left holding what were now puddles of yogurt contained in cardboard. Needless to say, we were annoyed. We did get to grab different containers of yogurt to replace the ones that had melted, but at that point, I have to say, I just wasn’t feeling it anymore. The yogurt itself was okay, but I’ve had better. Won’t be returning to this location or others in the future.

There are plenty of frozen dessert spots in my neighborhood but only one where the employees remember me. Ana, Kiki, Vionet and Flavia are a pleasure to see. I stay, hang our, chit chat and overall have a more enjoyable experience because of them. They are well informed, helpful and are always smiling.
Ana is my homey!!! Haha
I also love the numerous vegan options (4 tonight), wide flavor and topping selection and the fact that it’s open until 11:30!
Def my go-​to spot at home :)

PITIFUL. honestly I walk in and the cashier is sitting on a stool in the corner behind the corner playing on her phone and acted like she could hardly be bothered by customers? Okay… We asked about probably 3 machines that weren’t in use because we wanted to try the soy yogurt and she said the flavors were out until next month. Next month? What? Then she just kept giving us dirty looks until we left without getting anything because I couldn’t wait to leave. Get yogurt elsewhere

Yogurt is OK. They claim they make their own, but they don’t. It’s clearly the same as so many others use. The service is dreadful. I can be the only customer and still not be greeted or offered a tasting. Instead of music playing they have the TV blaring with senseless shows which include commercials. Nothing like listening to Viagra and Depends commercials at ear piercing levels while enjoying your run of the mill froyo!
Cashier didn’t even greet me when I came to the counter, nor thank me for my purchase nor my tip. What I tipped for I do not know.

I come here all the time (probably 4−5x a week) because since I started going to Sonic Yoga, I often make this my dinner. I LOVE frozen yogurt and probably have been to every frozen yogurt shop in manhattan. the quality of the froyo here is actually noticeably better… creamy but not too creamy, light flavors that aren’t too bland. I love the taro, plain tart, and cookies and cream.
green tea was my favorite (amazing. you can actually taste the matcha), but they only had it for one weekend. BRING THAT FLAVOR BACK and this will be five stars. or ten. I promise to eat there several times a day.

Why is it so hot and sticky in here! I liked the frozen yogurt flavors but not enough to come back to Tutti Frutti. If you read my reviews you know I am always on the prowl for frozen yogurt and with so many options around these days You have to get the eye of the tiger guys!
It was the end of the night so I should cut them a break, I know you can’t keep everything perfect but the employees working were lackadaisical and dismissive, I bet they didn’t even know they were running so dangerously low on Mochi. The topping of choice!

Pros: Very clean, Decent flavors, Huge bowls for your frozen yogurt, Pretty good toppings.
Cons: Extremely rude staff.
I would not go back here, just based on the staff. I had a groupon and they gave me a hard time about it. Eventually they figured it out, took it but gave me an attitude about the whole thing. Not a fan. I could go somewhere else with even better yogurt and much better staff.

Love of my life!
I always get so carried away and fill my cup more than I should. Nutella Nutella Nutella. Love love love. I can seriously eat one a day… If not more.

Two words: vegan fro-​yo. I’ve been feeling kind of left out of the whole fro-​yo thing since becoming vegan two years ago, but Tutti Frutti always stocks a few vegan flavors and good ones too!
I had pistachio and vanilla. The toppings are diverse and fresh. Tutti Frutti even serves carob chips as a substitute for chocolate chips for those who are allergic to chocolate or are caffeine-​sensitive like me.
Unlike 16 Handles, Tutti Frutti’s flavors have no artificial sweeteners, which is awesome. The yogurt also has added probiotics for digestive health. All ingredients and allergen information are clearly labelled. Bottom line: I’m very picky about what I put in my body, and I feel great about Tutti Frutti.
The location is clean, bright, and colorful. I just wish I didn’t have to hike all the way to Hell’s Kitchen to get it! Oh, and the prices are reasonable too.

I came here with a friend on a $ 5 for $ 10 Groupon offer. The selection is only moderate but the flavors they do have are very good. I had original tart, lychee, taro, and coffee, with coconut and almonds toppings.
3.5 stars

The first Tutti Frutti fro-​yo location I visited was in Long Beach, LI. It was very clean and the staff here were very friendly. I suppose I was setting myself up for disappointment when I visited this location on Friday evening.
The first thing I noticed was how much this place smelled like a public restroom. The location is really small and the bathroom was located right in the back behind the fro-​yo machines. This location was in a heavy tourist location so it was a high traffic area (including the bathrooms).
One of the people who worked there did ask me if there was anything I wanted a free sample of and gave me a little cup to try out any of the flavors. I noticed they had Lychee Sorbet which was AMAZING. Sadly I was aiming for a chocolate and coffee-​centric fro-​yo cup so I had to skip adding that flavor into my cup. They didn’t have as many topics as other fro-​yo places including the location in Long Beach.
Overall a disappointing experience coming from Long Beach, but I still enjoyed their fro-​yo. Even picked up a loyalty card that I may use again. Just maybe not this location specifically.

Soy bean yogurt? Whatever, it all tastes just about the same as other self-​serve spots and this place is pretty good.
They have a ton of flavors, some very very good, some tasteless and a little nasty (the red velvet is a weird hot pinkish color instead of a nice deep red).
Other good ones are the Dulce de Leche and the Salted Caramel, but the best is definitely the Soy Bean Peanut Butter, which they claim is healthy, but I highly doubt it since it’s one of more rich peanut buttery tasting ones I’ve tried across these chains.
They’ve got everything you would expect at the toppings bar too, to make for a really satisfying cup of yogurt. I’m definitely going to frequent this location as there aren’t many other good choices in the immediate vicinity.

There are no small sized containers… You have to choose a half-​gallon or a gallon sized container. You can fill it up only a bit though as they sell it by weight.

Almond is the best!
I was impressed with how clean this Tutti Frutti was. I generally prefer the selection at 16 Handles, since I’m a big chocolate fan and I guess as the name implies, Tutti Frutti is more focused on their sorbets and fruity classics.
For a little over $ 2 (cheaper than coffee!) my froyo was customized just the way I like it, topped with multi-​color mochi, and it really hit the spot.

What a gem near my apartment! Recently opened near Hell’s Kitchen so I checked this place one evening after my dinner.
What makes this place special?
1) more than 10 flavor options! This is the most # of flavors provided in one place I’ve ever been. If you go to other froyo places in midtown (like Tast-​D Lite, Red mango, or Pinkberry), you can’t get this much diversity. I tried most of them, and my top recommendation list would be: soy bean peanut butter (I’m not a great fan of peanut butter, but this has really natural flavor.), soy almond, pistachio, and red velvet.
2) Ice cream for vegan. Most of their flavors are made of soy bean and other vegan ingredients. Actually, I can’t taste yogurt, but I can taste something natural or organic (?) from their flavors (e.g. chocolate or peanut butter.) Eat wise and stay healthy!
3) Pricing is not that bad. Average compared to other froyo places.
4) One caveat would be there are only two cup sizes — small and large, but even the «small» cup is pretty big…
Overall, great to have dessert after your lunch or dinner at Hell’s kitchen.

I think I’m developing a habit where I have to go into a froyo place if it’s new and I haven’t been there yet to sample the flavors and see how it compares to 16 Handles and Vanilla Sky in Astoria.
This place has the same clean bright interior as some of the nicer 16 Handles (ie Chelsea) and variety of toppings. They had taro, which was pretty unique, and soy based frozen yogurt flavors — almond and peanut butter. That was also new, and pretty tasty.
I went with the taro & cookes n cream twist. Taro was very good, flavor came through, it can be a pretty subtle flavor.
The people who work here are incredibly nice. The guy giving samples was really excited about the taro, said it was his favorite which definitely influenced me to sample it. Happy people make for a better experience. Good job with hiring, tutti frutti. Add that to a convenient location in Hell’s Kitchen, and you’ll probably see me here again.
