Tutti Frutti

Love the employees here, so friendly & welcoming ! The yogurt was delicious also! Will definitely be going back to this location when I’m back in Calgary !

Was craving self-​froyo place, came in with a group of friends. Used to visit these places when I was in California. Froyo was as expected, and topping were good as well.
Good froyo, and would’ve given this place 4 stars due to its high price, but giving it 5 as my card didn’t work with their card reader, and they were nice enough to give me a free froyo for the night!

Tutti Frutti is my absolute weakness.
The staff are always so welcoming and friendly even when there is a giant horde of people inside and waiting to get their cups filled. The best part of this location is that it is right next to a park. That way, you can just grab your froyo and chill outside with friends.
Better do it soon before the winter hits though. Otherwise, you can always chill indoors too.
There are plenty of options to choose from and toppings are pretty stellar too.

Best froyo in town!
Cute décor, delicious flavours and toppings, excellent staff and amazing owners. This place does not fail to please. My favourite flavours so far — carrot cake, red velvet, gingerbread and cookies ‘n cream. The black sesame was very unique too.
Recommendation — London Fog flavour please :)

If you didn’t know, about a year ago I was diagnosed as dairy sensitive. Which pretty much means no dessert out anymore, unless I want fruit and sorbet, which gets really old really fast. And no more DQ or Flurries or any of that fun stuff.
So, when Tutti Frutti opened, and I found out they always have at least two dairy-​free flavours, I was pretty excited. Granted, yes, one is almost always a sorbet, but there are also soy ice creams, and in some really cool flavours, like taro or peanut butter. I do wish there was a bigger selection for us poor dairy-​free folk but I really appreciate what they do offer.
And the toppings are great, too. There’s always the possibility of cross-​contamination, so you have to be careful, but there’s a tonne to choose from. Jellies, fruit, candy bars… I especially love putting gummy bears on mine. And some of the syrups at the end are even vegan!
Pricing is good — you pay by weight so be careful how much you load your bowl (and put your spoon in AFTER you pay!)
As usual in this area, parking can be an issue. Park and walk a little ways if you can. Hope Tutti Frutti sticks around a while as other businesses on this block seem to have issues staying open.

As a regular yogurt customer who has been to many places, this is a great addition to the Calgary area. Lots of different flavors to select from and a decent selection of toppings. Clean, fresh atmosphere… must place to stop!

I heart Tutti! My boyfriend and I are frequently stopping by to see what the new flavors are and even make peace after an argument through Tutti Frutti (not even kidding). I love the fact that usually have the most flavorful fruit yogurts. Those mixed with some traditional chocolate and a little serving of peanut butter? I couldn’t ask for much more. We took my cousin to Tutti and she was in heaven! It’s been two straight weeks that I haven’t been, so I know what I’ll be doing tonight. Yay!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
My only complaint about Tutti Frutti is we live so close to it that we go there way. too. often.
The guy who works there has even begun to notice /​remember us. Hehe.
If we go out for dinner, we never get dessert at the restaurant anymore — we save it for Tutti Frutti.
#NomNomNom

Other Unilocalers first introduced me to Tutti Frutti after an event we had around the corner. It’s become a «must stop» for any of my non coffee loving friends who want to meet up. Mounds of toppings at the topping bar, flavours changing regularly, mix and match swirls… even a representative back by the yogurt machines to explain the process to newbie Tutti Frutti goers…
On the flavours at the back, you’ll find all kinds on rotation, from gluten free, dairy free or nut free varieties to chocolate, mango and even green tea selection. You can mix and match whatever you like, or use the dispenser in the middle to get a swirl of two flavours on that particular machine. Cups range from small to large, the small cups are enough for me and with it filled about ½ full of yogurt and a few spoon fulls of toppings, it typically comes out to around $ 5 (you pay by weight).
Toppings include skor bits, fresh fruits, lychee jellies, oreo cookies, sprinkles, chocolate chips and about a bazillion more to choose from than I can remember to list!
Oh, and you can vote on what flavour you’d like to see up on rotation next by leaving a tip in one of the tip jars up front.
Good work Tutti Frutti… you’re onto something. No wonder you’re always full of people!

Here is a recap of what happens almost every single time I go to Tutti Frutti:
1^st. Sitting at home, minding my own business and checking out facebook. Notice that Tutti Frutti has updated its list of flavors and posted on facebook about it. Suddenly I NEED that birthdaycake/​peanut butter/​guava or whatever new flavor is up.
2^nd Head to Tutti Frutti and on the way there tell myself that I always end up liking the TF Tart flavor the best and to just get a SMALL container with TF tart and some fruit
3^rd. Somehow end up in front of the flavors holding medium container and decide to ‘just try’ some of the new flavors.
Add tons of boba
Add jellies
Add sour candy
Feel guilty, sprinkle on some fruit.
4^th Head down to the basement (hint: tons of extra seating down there!) and devour my now-​massive container of many many flavors.
Repeat.

Oh man where to start?! … I’ve walked by this place many a times and the weather was finally warm enough to get me in the mood for ice cream. I like the ambiance as soon as you enter, it makes you feel like a kid entering candy heaven (in this case ice cream heaven).
I love the idea they play with, where you can choose everything for yourself, ice cream and toppings. I ended up getting the matcha ice cream because I’m a matcha green tea freak. I topped it off with coconut flakes, assorted jellies and mochi candy (the most Asian combination ever). Even beforehand though, you can taste any flavour you want which is great because there are so many choices it can get overwhelming.
The staff are über friendly and helpful. I ended up paying like $ 4 for my ice cream which is really cheap for you pay for the weigh. I think the only thing they are missing here is a door greeter because I honestly stood in the topping line first thinking, «everyone has ice cream but me…» for a good few minutes, confused where to start. Then again I’m bad with directions.

I remember the first time I passed by tutti fruitti, it had a loooong line up, so just recently, on a hot Sunday, I came back to try this frozen yogurt joint ice heard so much about. The store was small and the selection of yogurts even smaller. Looking on their website and all the flavours they have, I was expecting more choices. None the less I chose a terrific mix of coffee/​pistachio and green tea yogurts sans accoutrements, although there are a tons of add ons like candy, chocolate, nuts, cereals etc.. . It was a nice lighter treat to enjoy while lazing on the grass at the park across. Hopefully they change up their flavours consistently so I can get me some of that red velvet cake.. . mint.. , pink lemonade. .. Lychee.. . Cheesecake.. . Cappuccino. .

After dinner with the girls at Cibo, we were discussing the possibility of dessert. Remembering that Tutti Frutti was nearby, we headed over yesssssss :)
As everyone else mentioned on their reviews on Unilocal,it was a bit disorganized. There was just clusters of people everywhere, so we made our way to the back towards the machines. The cups sizes are fairly large (one I swear was a KFC bucket) so I can see how you can easily rack up the amount of yogurt and toppings and therefore the cost.
I swirled about a ¹⁄₃ of my cup with mango yogurt, and slowly shuffled along the line for toppings. I was still digesting my heavy dinner so I only sprinkled on some fresh strawberries and mango and headed towards the scale (I’m sure if this was my actual dinner I would have piled on all the fruit bubbles, candies and crumbled cookies they had to offer!). Not bad, it was about $ 4. Since there wasn’t much seating inside, we enjoyed our yogurts outside on the benches.
I can see that this place will definitely get busier as the warm weather approaches, it’s a fun way to treat yourself on a hot summer day!

yay for this kind of frozen yogurt…
my wait is over! self serve, many flavors, different toppings (tho they can have some more toppings that you can find in the USA) but…
i’m a happy girl :) hahah.

The way you people are talking about toppings, I was expecting a barge filled with options. I am a hard mofo to please.
It was busy when I got in, and slightly confused, people were shuffling about like frogurt zombies, stabbing sample spoons in the air. The container sizes are crazy, the large is literally a popcorn bucket.
I had looked at the website before coming and then realized the 70+ flavours listed are only available on rotation. FOOLISH FOOL.
I also didn’t realize the middle frogurt dispensing knob would give you a swirl of flavours. More signage needed.
I got me some birthday cake and guava yogurt and piled another container with coffee.
At the topping bar, I of course went on the employee only side first cause there is a teeny tiny sticker saying so.
After jumping off the wrong side, I was stumped as to what to put on the yogurt. I am the wiz who once thought lemon and chocolate would make a good falvour combination.
I played it safe, putting brownie and chocolate chip cookie chunks on the coffee, then a spoon of multi-​coloured sprinkles cause I thought it would be funny.
On my frogurt I just put on some fresh strawberries and coconut flakes.
The price was right, for the two containers it came to $ 8.50. Unless you are my fiancé who went to the Tutti Frutti on 130^th (yes, there is another location now, people!) and get one container that costs $ 8.50.
My yogurt was quite delicious and a nice way to beat the heat. We sat out front in the park with our dog and made for a great after dinner treat.
I am afraid I will now gain weight because this might become our new summer activity.

Some of the best froyo in the city (and area). There have been a number of self-​serve frozen yogurt «bars» popping up around the city, and one recently closed down in Kensington, so I’m delighted Tutti Frutti opened up.
Test your sense of adventure and opt for something non-​traditional. I’m sure it won’t disappoint. The creamy quality of the frozen yogurt and your ability to customize your treat is awesome!
Tutti Frutti also caters to those that cannot have dairy, which gives them major kudos and bonus points in my books.
Definitely a location worth checking out.

As I do with all of my inspired favorites, I shall now do this review in song and rhyme. And I believe only ONE song is perfect for this one… The Archies’ Sugar Sugar!
Ohhhhh… Froyo… do do do do do doooo…
Ohhhhh… Tutti Fruitti do do do do do doooo…
You are my Froyo Lovvvveeee…
And you got me EATING you…
I just can’t believe the awesome flavours that you do,
I just can’t believe it’s true
So many to try there’s 10 at a time there to choose,
It’s so dazzling yummy too!
Ohhhhh… Froyo… do do do do do doooo…
Ohhhhh… Tutti Fruitti do do do do do doooo…
You are my Froyo Lovvvveeee…
And you got me EATING you…
Then came on the toppings fruits and candies like gummies,
Such a sweetness that’s so goooood,
I then shower my Froyo with some berries and cookies,
It’s such awesome frozen foooood…
Pour some Capt Crunch on it honey
Pour more choco chips on it Baby
Ghiradelli fudge sauce so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
pour some raspberries on it yeah
pour peanut butter on it honey
pour much more berries on it baby
The Froyo toppings are so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
Can’t just stop with one topping honey
Ohhhhh… Froyo… do do do do do doooo…
Ohhhhh… Tutti Fruitti do do do do do doooo…
You are my Froyo Lovvvveeee…
And you got me EATING you…
Now seriously? It’s pretty awesome frozen yogurt, and it’s (in my best Dr. Evil voice) «fricken’ good! Great flavours, topping mixes of all sorts and it’s simply a nice clean, cool place to hang out as well.
You pay by the weight, but you’ll find yourself more than curious enough to try the rest, if not at that same visit, then definately at other ones.
It’s pretty much a no brainer really, for a place to enjoy, hot or cold, sunny or dark, it’s one of my favs!
#4 of Unilocal 100 Challenge

Calgary, its about TIME we had a self-​serve froyo place!
Every time I was visiting my mom in London Ontario I’d make it a point to hit up their Froyo place to get my fix. Several times every visit. When I went to Phoenix, I was hunting for self-​serve froyo. ANYWHERE I GO, I am on the lookout for them. I am an addict, and I have no shame admitting it.
When I heard a Tutti Frutti was opening up downtown, I literally freaked out all over their Facebook and Twitter and counted the days till I could get my hands on some of that deliciousness.
So ofcourse I was there on Opening Day.
Tutti Frutti did not disappoint. I tried their lychee sorbet, their birthday cake and green tea flavours. My favourite was the green tea but they were all great. I piled up my bowl high with toppings to my little hearts content — lychee pearls, peanut butter chips, choc chips, coconut flakes, blueberries, etc. I was like a kid in a candy store — I LOVE this stuff! Everything was so delicious!
I think my excitement was super apparent because they handed me a «I AM A FAN» sign when I was getting my froyo, and I was like «OFCOURSE I’M A FAN, SURE I’LL CARRY THE SIGN!!!»
Spring days with froyo in hand might possibly be some of the best things in life.

In true TREAT YOSELF TUESDAY fashion, Tiffany I got to check out Tutti Frutti
Over the weekend, I was thrilled to find out two things:
1) Tutti Frutti was coming to Calgary. Everytime I am in Edmonton or BC, it is too cold for me to actually try any of their soygurt. Or, I’ve just eaten a giant meal and then a Tutti Frutti pops out of nowhere to taunt me.
2) They currently have FOUR vegan friendly options. For all us Calgarian vegan and dairy free folks! From what I’ve heard, they’re hoping to always offer this many options, so if you specifically require the dairy free options, I recommend thanking them for carrying them, and letting them know so that they see it’s in high demand! :)
So, in true TREAT YOSELF TUESDAY fashion, I headed over there with the lovely Tiffany to get in on the FROYO craze. You can tell this place just opened, because it was super busy even for a Tuesday evening.
We went over to the self serve bar, where there were ten or so flavours, four of them dairy free which I think was a pretty good selection. The vegan flavours of the moment were Blueberry sorbet, Lychee sorbet, Soy Latte, Soy Peanut Butter Banana. Since Bananas are my enemy, I went for the latte. Being self serve, you can add as much or as little frozen yogurt to your cup as you want. This is a lot of power to put in my weak willed hands.
Next, you go up to the bar of toppings. There is so much stuff; boba, a large variety of fruit, nuts, granola, oreo cookies, regular person cookies, chocolate chips, etc. There is also chocolate/​caramel/​strawberry sauces. My froyo sundae included latte soygurt, oreos, strawberries, coconut, almonds, and some chocolate sauce (the particular brand they had on hand happens to be vegan friendly)!
When the friendly cashier went to weigh my ice cream, I got a little nervous, just like when you get weighed at the doctors or something. I have similar anxiety attacks at salad bars, though, so it has nothing to do with froyo shame. My total was $ 5, which I think was totally reasonable for the large serving of frozen awesome I got to scarf down.
We sat downstairs which was way less busy then upstairs, but let’s pretend I never told you that so you don’t steal my spot or something. All in all, I am very happy Tutti Frutti is in town, and can’t wait for their other locations to open up too!

It’s hard to walk in here and not sing to yourself:
«A-​wop-​bom-​a-​loo-​mop-​a-​lomp-​bom-​bom!»
Normally, I’m not the biggest fan of frozen soy treats. I know what you’re thinking.
«But, OMG, you’re a vegan. Soy is your default food. Why are you so picky? STFU and have some ham.»
Still, after seeing all the enthusiastic tweets about Tutti Frutti’s grand opening all over my feed over the last couple of weeks, and after browsing their website and seeing that they had not one, but four dairy-​free options to choose from; I decided to see what all the fuss was about with my favorite vegan lady.
Tutti Frutti not only has four dairy-​free options that are always readily available (that according to their twitter account changes between eight), but they are kept safely away from the dairy options and are easy to spot with their adorable signage. Since I am used to only being able to have one dairy-​free option (if I’m lucky), I was thrilled to be able to walk up and serve myself not one — but two different flavors out of four options — soy latté, and peanut butter and banana. The other two dairy-​free options that day were blueberry sorbet and lychee sorbet.
I was wavering between getting the soy latté and the lychee sorbet, but opted for the latté when I saw they had lychee jelly and boba pearls as topping options. They also had fresh fruit, crushed candy bars, cookies, nuts, and assorted syrups. The temptation to smother my cup in toppings was great, but I had to remind myself that there was a scale at the end that would determine my price, and anyway, I didn’t want to miss out on the flavor of the actual star of the show itself: the soy yogurt. The price was reasonable, and despite a small SNAFU at the till (the debit machine reset itself when I tapped «yes» to tip), I was on my way to cozy frozen deliciousness.
It was busy for a Tuesday evening, but Tutti Frutti has extra seating downstairs. Perfect for catch-​up conversation! I’m glad they’re in town and that they’re opening up another location closer to me. Which may thwart my fitness plans, but, hey! It’s yogurt. That means it’s lower in fat, right? ;)
