Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt

This location was great when open. Drove by about three weeks ago and the machines are gone and everything. So now a regular at TCBY.

This used to be my favorite yogurt place in South Austin, but it has really gone down hill in the past 6 months.
For starters, they are out of a lot of flavors a majority of the time, or something is broken. This past Sunday they were out of both strawberries and the tart flavor, in addition to missing a slew of other flavor staples.
If simply being scarce in the flavor department wasn’t bad enough, Tutti Frutti is absolutely FILTHY. After sitting down at one of the tables I quickly noticed that they had broken and missing light fixtures, the signage was faded and dirty, booths were cracked and seats were worn out. I don’t even want to get started on the bathroom, but I have been to truck stops with cleaner accommodations.
Im not sure if this place is under new management or just went sour, but something needs to change :(

Stopped in after lunch today for a bit of a treat. I’m a huge fan of yogurt places, but this one was a bit boring. The flavors were your standard options with a couple strange ones thrown in (like kool aid). The yogurt itself was tasty enough and the staff friendly. Overall A-​Ok about sums it up.

Great stuff! Reopened with new ownership, and it’s now great! The chocolate is the best I’ve had (I’m a chocolate nut). Got a chance to talk to the owner, and he’s a very nice guy. It’s clean, plays family friendly movies, has delicious and varied toppings, and they rotate in a few new flavors every couple days! Fresh flowers and original artwork top off a great visit to Tutti Frutti.

Best yogurt in town… I’ve tried many other places and keep coming back to tutti frutti… They have the best flavor yogurts compared to other places…

A perennial family favorite of ours.
Various flavors to surprise you based on the day of the week. Pistachio, Mango delight, Original and countless others. Tasty and healthy with toppings for kids.
Personalized and friendly service from Arpon who is mostly at the counter.

Not at all bad. Cheesecake flavor is really amazing, but the prices are a bit steep apparently, but it was treat. I guess the only turn off was the two gurls working there. They didn’t seem that interested in helping, and what the hell is up with puting a «tip» line on the receipt when they don’t even do anything?

Tutti Frutti, ohhhh Rudy…
I am pretty sure I have the correct location! ?
This is located where the Jamba Juice of Christmas past used to live in Sunset Valley.
We got the Countrytime Pink Lemonade Sorbet today.
It was fantastic for summer! The nice boy employee whose name begins with an A was amazing today (who was there around the noon hour)…
He even made us a dog water bowl for the hounds out of the largest yogurt cup. That was smart and perfect! Thank you!!!
They charge 40 cents per ounce which is pretty competitive!
I love the gummy bears and the liquid pink and orange fruit balls!
We will definitely be back… wooooooo!!!
Tutti Frutti, oh Rudy… a womp bom a loo bow wa bomp bam boom!

I love that artificial colors and flavors don’t seem to be the norm at froyo places.
Still, it was strange to get equal parts English toffee, plain (tart), and peach and have them all be the same color (white).
Also, they all kind of tasted the same. The peach tasted mildly of peaches, but I think someone forgot to English toffee-​ize the English toffee, because it tasted and looked just like the plain.
Still, there’s a great topping selection, the employees are nice, and the price is good. I’d pretty much flip a coin to see whether I’ll come here next time or to the Jamba Juice next door.

**************UPDATE********
So I went back here yesterday for a quick cup. Wow, the place was disgusting. The tables were dirty, melted yogurt on them. Trash was on the floor. It was just really messy. Had to wipe down the CLEANIST, and clean was the last thing it was, so we could sit and eat. Honestly this will be the last time I am here. It being clean was the only real thing it had going for it, after this I will just venture north.

I have been here 3 times now. Will say I was always hoping it would be better the next time, sadly it wasn’t. Don’t get me wrong, its ok, but not really good-​great. I go b/​c it is so close to the house.
The choices have been kind of limited when i have gone. Maybe 6 tops? Perhaps its always because I go later in the evening and they ran out?
The yogurt itself is really lackluster compared to some of the other places I frequent. The yellow cake and cheese cake are just bland to me. I waited for the review b/​c I thought maybe it was an «off» day, but no, each time they have been missing something that really exploded the taste buds. Just doesn’t do it for me, any of the flavors. Maybe they need more flavoring in the mix? Im not sure how that all works, but I know it is more bland then competitors. The toppings are great, always fresh. That is a plus.
The place its self is very nice, always clean and the workers very friendly. With the mediocre yogurt it won’t be my top choice, but for the convenience of it (if you can say that, shares a parking lot with Docs and never ANYWHERE to park near it) I will stop by when the fiancé or I have a sweet tooth urge and don’t want to venture far.

The best part about this place? Convenience. It’s only about 5 minutes from our apartment and I do need to satisfy my «sweet tooth» craving every once in a while.
They have 8 – 10 different yogurt flavors on tap. My favorites are the death by chocolate and yellow cake. If you combine them, it’s fantastic.
They have a ton of toppings and fresh fruit toppings as well.
The prices are moderate and every time I have been here, the people have been really nice. They could turn down the music a little though.
It’s very clean and nice on the inside. They also give you a punch card so you can earn free yogurt and that’s a plus in my book.

The yogurt was not fabulous, but the toppings were good — the fruit was really fresh. However, loud Ke$ha blaring, yogurt machines that beep constantly, and annoying employees made the experience one I don’t plan to repeat.

I really wish they had ½ stars as I would have rated this 3 and ½, but since they don’t — I opted up to 4 in this case.
Why you ask? Although I am not doing cartwheels or obsessively counting the minutes until our next visit… our experiences here have always been good. The place has always been clean. The counter girls have always been friendly. They have some unusual flavors and the option to try them before purchasing, thus avoiding a disappointing snafu. They have a nice variety of toppings including many fresh, ripe fruits.
What I do is grab my yogurt cup and head right to the toppings bar and put my toppings in as bottomings. I then top it with yogurt and maybe… if I am feeling frisky… add some more toppings as toppings. Try it — I promise you won’t be disappointed.

It’s not groundbreaking, but it is delicious!
I tend to be a creature of habit and I always start with Chocolate FroYo then top it with strawberries, cherries, raspberries and peanuts, no matter which little FroYo shop I stop in. On my first two visits to Tutti Frutti, I made myself the «Allison Special». But after tasting my husband’s almond FroYo, I quickly realized, I had been doing this all wrong. Almond FroYo is the way to go! Now my regular dessert is Almond FroYo topped with raspberries, strawberries, cherries and chocolate chips (you’ve gotta have chocolate somewhere in there, right?).
I have no complaints with Tutti Frutti and have become quite the regular as the heat index rises.

While my summer dessert of choice has been frozen yogurt, it’s surprisingly easy to distinguish the quality fro yo from the mediocre kind. Having tried this shop for the first time on Father’s Day, I was sadly unimpressed. The flavors weren’t original and a few of the flavors were really icy like a Wendy’s frostie instead of creamy frozen yogurt. Toppings are self served and range from everything including fresh fruit to candies. Mike L. was right; the sun definitely blazes the shop in the late afternoon which made it hard to enjoy this frozen treat.
Visit number two got a little better as I went at night and found that some of the flavors weren’t covered in mini icy shards but still wasn’t rocking my socks off.
Visit number 3 and 4 quickly improved my opinion on Tutti Frutti as they had a fabulous watermelon flavor and lychee flavor which I have had yet to see at any shop. The berries were large and perfectly ripe along with the mango and kiwi chunks. But what won my heart were the mochi and lychee toppings that I missed the first two times!
Service has always been great and atmosphere peaceful and not infested with tiny children making a mess of things with their sticky little hands. So that definitely deserves a couple of stars by itself already.
While Tutti Frutti has stepped up its game, it hasn’t reached primo fro yo status yet. Nevertheless its in my hood and will satisfy my sweet tooth and keep me cool. Looking forward to relishing in your sweetness for months to come TF.

Tutti Frutti is a carbon copy of the Yogurt Planets of the world, but it is certainly a welcome addition to the South Austin/​Sunset Valley area. Located next door to some hopping dinner joints, it’s a very easy stop off for some after dinner treats.
Service was as welcoming and happy as a fro-​yo joint could be, toppings were plentiful and yogurt flavors are rotated enough to notice.
Good treats at this fro-​yo spot… hop in for an icy treat.

The yogurt train rolls on…
Dad came to visit us today. We mentioned our recent Yogurt bingeing to him and discovered Tutti Frutti was nearby. I was actually also hoping it might help with some recent gastro-​intestinal problems he’s been experiencing. But he should probably be eating yogurt everyday to see any difference.
Tutti Frutti is similar to Yogurt Planet and Yummilicious. Probably what keeps this from being a full on ⁴⁄₅ star review is the afternoon sun shines straight into the front windows. Few available seats meant we were right in the middle of that. A shade or solar screen would cost little and help this problem significantly. I also felt the yogurt wasn’t quite as good. I noticed more ice crystallization on the surface if that is meaningful. Not as creamy as I have had in the past. It’s also .01 more per ounce, but who’s counting?
Toppings were all similar to what I’ve seen before, but Tutti Frutti has real gummi worms and not just the sour kind.
Staff was friendly and we will definitely return since it seems to be the only game in the area. But you won’t find me there between 3 – 8 PM for sure!

Yes, I have succumb to the fro-​yo craze that has swept our town. It started with The Yogurt Spot that’s right across the street from where I work, and now Tutti Frutti is right down the street from where I live. So, basically, the lure of the frosty goodness that is frozen yogurt has simply become too difficult to avoid.
My kiddo and I went on ⁷⁄₃ – they’re grand opening day – and were pleasantly surprised to get 40% off our entire order as a grand opening treat. We also received a coupon for 20% of on our next visit.
The place is tiny, but bright and clean, and there is a lot of functional seating.
The yogurt choices were fairly standard, and I opted for their regular «tart» yogurt. My daughter got the mint chocolate. I loaded mine down with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. She went for every candy item they had plus some Froot Loops for good measure.
Mine was really tasty, and I snuck a bit of my daugther’s and can confirm that hers was quite good as well.
I hope this place does well because it’s awesome having them as a new neighbor.

Hooray! Glad to see this chain has finally arrived in South Austin. The girls working the counter were very nice and engaging. The store was filled with a good amount of people inside and out and smelled very clean. I believe their grand opening is July 3^rd. Stop by and grab a coupon for 40% off that day and 20% off any other day.
I did notice 2 things that kinda irked me. No strawberry cheesecake or peanut butter flavors. They may just rotate these out but the store up north near Tabu lingerie always has these 2. Another thing — no Fruity Pebbles. Sigh… they did have chocolate chip cookie dough chunks and I have never seen that option. Cookie dough totally overpowers Pebbles in my book.

I first tried Tutti Frutti in Marina Del Ray, CA and I was in heaven. I immediately got on google in hopes they would be opening one in Austin and whah-​la, one was coming to Sunset Valley, a few miles from my house!
The one is Austin is just as good as CA, but it feels like a franchise, It lacks that home grown feeling that my other favorite place (name I won’t mention here) has. But Tutti Frutti is delicious and has fabulous toppings, the strawberries never look that great but they have raspberries, blueberries, yesterday they had kiwi and blackberries that all look great. Their flavors are very good and the second and third time I went back they already had new ones to try.
One funny thing is the price is higher here than in LA! That’s a first! But at $ 0.40 an ounce, you can’t really complain. (although those oz’s add up fast!)
All in all, it’s a great idea. I love the self-​serve frozen yogurt shops. I’d love to see calorie count or fat gram info above the yogurt flavors. But you can look up at the front counter.
The shop was kept very clean and the gal behind the counter was very sweet. I’m happy we have more healthy options for sweets in town!
I will definitely be back and I’m glad they opened. (actually 3 times in a week might make me an addict…)
