Tutti Frutti

I liked this place more when it first opened, but it has gotten progressive worse. While I acknowledge the pros of this place, the quality of the yogurt outweighs the positives of this establishment.
Pros:
1. Self Serve
2. Variety of Flavors — including «Asian» flavors such as Lychee and Thai Iced Tea.
3. Ample Parking — FREE mall parking.
4. Center of the mall location– good place to stop by after shopping at Target. Located on 1^st floor — center of Mall.
5. Takes credit card as form of payment.
6. Fast service.
Cons:
1. Yogurt quality isn’t great. It’s not truly «frozen». It feels milky, sometimes stuck in the machines, and sometimes overtly sweet or bland.
2. The price makes this place a bit pricey especially for a self service froyo place. Average price — between $ 4.50-$ 6.00 for a full cup at the smallest size cup. .35 cents per ounce but beware it adds up!
3. Some machines were out of order yet without any signs indicating this!
4. Mochi balls here are mediocre. Can’t say it’s great.
5. Fruit — I’ve had strawberry, kiwi, banana, and mango here. All of which were not necessarily the freshest or sweet.
Overall, for the price relative to the quality of the yogurt, I really cannot say I am a fan of this place. Much better yogurt places in other parts of the bay area, but in the San Bruno, CA/​South SF/​Colma area, this is one of the few places.

Yeah! They changed their name. Lol. I’m not sure why but yeah it’s called Orange Tree now. Still the same price 35 cents an ounce.
The one thing that made me a happy camper is that they introduced new flavors! WOO HOO! One of which happened to be Pineapple. Almost, almost like Dole Whip but close enough. YAY! There was also some Melon flavor that didn’t taste like any kind of Melon whatsoever.

Hm… what happened to the store being called Tutti Fruiti? Oh well…
I don’t think this place compares to Frozo’s. It was kind of expensive, at $ 0.35/ounce, I can pay cheaper for yogurt in San Jose.
Yogurt — I tried vanilla, when I pressed the handle-​thing for yogurt to come out, I didn’t expect to see this watery, yellowish yogurt to come out. I guess it tasted fine, though.
Toppings– There were okay toppings, there weren’t a huge variety, but it’s ok. I wish the mangos were greener.

I’ve tried almost every single Froyo in town and this is by far my favorite one because they have the most tropical flavors and their taste is more authentic compare to i.e. Nubi in Millbrae and Swirl in WestLake.
They have green tea here and it taste like the japanese green tea unlike other places that use the tapioca powder flavor.
I recommend people trying the Lychee and the Green Apple. It’s delicious. Also, their toppings are very fresh and clean.

Pretty damn expensive. Never had paid-​by-​weight fro-​yo before. And now I know why. $ 0.35 per ounce. They only have a one-​size-​fits-​all cup. What if I only wanted a teeny-​tiny lil sample… I’d have to use that fat ass cup!!! Wasted.
Anyways. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the TARO and LYCHEE!!! OMG, my favorites… and ultimate best flavors in my mouth! With a lil bit of original flavored MOCHI.
1 star (for the yummy flavors I chose.)
+ 1 star (for the friendly cashier.)

TOTAL = 2 stars!!!

I took my lunch break in Tanforan and decided to check out the newest fro-​yo place.
A «get your own» service for $.35 an ounce. There are ten flavors. I was in the holiday spirit and decided to get the Pumpkin-​flavored fro-​yo in a 8ounce cup. The fro-​yo looked diluted and looked more icy. I also checked out the Vanilla flavor and didn’t fair much better.
By the time my bowl reached to the topping section, it has already slowly beginning to melt. The mochi ball looked stale and the berries were bruised and look like they just came back from the war in Iraq. My totaled for my forgetful fro-​yo was $ 5.00 and cash only too.
I never give too many one-​star reviews, but this place needs a shit-​load of corrections to compete with other fro-​yo places. If not, this place won’t be around much longer. If you want frozen treats, go upstairs to Dairy Queen.

This stuff melts way too quickly. I come here for FROZEN yogurt, not LIQUID yogurt. It was a blistering 55 degrees this past Sunday and even before I reached the pavement outside of the mall, I was already witnessing a puddle of liquid froyo at the bottom of my cup. Unacceptable!
But that tart taro flavor is still good…

Tutti Frutti is a self dispense and self top froyo joint. They offer lots of fruit flavors frozen yogurts.
I’d tried three flavors so far – mango, lychee and peach. I’m loving the lychee and peach. The fruitiness just jumped right out, and the sweetness was just right. As for the mango flavor, it was very mango-​y, but oh my gosh, it was super sweet; I felt like I was eating sugar or syrup.
The froyo at Tutti Frutti is not creamy at all. It’s not thick or dense, but icy, which reminds me of Tuttimelon’s. It is also pretty tarty.
The mochi is chewy, and they do offer lots of toppings, both fruits and dry ones.
The place is pretty small, but is very well-​lit. The counter where the cups are made the aisle where you dispense the froyo really narrow; thus, it’s very hard to walk around if there are already people there dispensing froyo. Oh yeah, and they have big cups… which in a way is good for people who can’t swirl froyo… but it’s such a waste if you just want to get a little bit.
The service was okay. The cashier didn’t really say anything. I gave him my money, and he gave my friend my change?! A couple seconds later, he hanged me back my change after I stuck my hand out. That was super weird because I only had my wallet in my hand, and my friends who he wanted to hand the change to was holding the froyo, spoons and other stuff.
This place is okay, I’ll only go back if I happen to be at the Tanforan.

I would give this place a 1 star if the cashier wasn’t super nice to us.
They have a wide variety but almost every single one of them is watery yogurt! except for the chocolate one. This place is self serve and pay by ounce. They have a pretty good variety of toppings too, but the yogurt was just too nasty. Its probably the worst yogurt Ive ever tasted.
The cashier was really nice and attentive. He gave us many sample cups and gave us many different flavor suggestions, even though most of them were bad. I felt bad for not buying anything since he was so nice to us.

Are you serious?!? The greatness that is frozen yogurt… is going to be served in red party cups here? That’s so ghetto… I walked out the moment I saw that. Well… I actually got a sample first! But, instead of being given a small sample cup to try out whatever I like… I had to tell the person what I wanted and they get it for you. I don’t really like that… because I hate asking for free samples because I feel cheap. I’d rather get the little sample cup and try everything… without feeling like a thief!
So it’s 35 cents an oz here… cheaper than Nubi in Millbrae. They had Lychee flavor here… which I havn’t seen very often. I didn’t like it much though. The yogurt here is not that creamy… kind of icy. They make the flavor names really cute… like «Strawberry Fields».
It’s a pretty small establishment… and the red walls made it feel really dark. I like my yogurt places to be very bright and exuberant. Can’t really sit inside either… so gotta take it out into mall to eat.
I’m a big fan of Nubi… so just go there. But it’s convenient to have a place in the mall… so I’d come here again if i was REALLY craving it. But seriously… red party cups? It just makes this place seem illegitimate.

In my search for the BEST fro-​yo place in the Bay Area, I had to try Tutti Frutti in Tanforan. It definitely has a great location and name but the yogurt and toppings were not up to par. As many have stated, the yogurt was a bit too icy for my liking. But when I sparked up a conversation with the owner, he said they changed their recipe to make it much more smoother than Pinkberry’s. Uhhh, sorry buddy… there was nothing smooth about it! It was melting even before I walked out the door. I tried to eat it as fast as I could or else I would have had to start drinking from the cup! :) However, I do give props for the abundant amount of delicious toppings! Mochi balls, yummy!!! Unlike Yogurt World in Serramonte, there is definitely more to choose from and more to sccop out of!
Also, you may want to try the Sweet Vanilla Yogurt. It was really yummy…
Sorry Tutti Frutti, I may only return if I am lazy to drive to my favorite fro-​yo places down South!

i really really wanted to like this place because it would be the closest self serve froyo place to my house. but what a disappointment. i was actually at target in the morning not knowing it was already open and then checked online to find that it was and made the drive back to tanforan to check it out.
the froyo was too soft. it came out of the machines too fast and too liquidy. i know thats not a word. so what? and within minutes i have a cut of froyo liquid.
instead of giving you an informative name they give some cutesy stupid name for all their flavors. unbeknownst to me, all their flavors were tart. tart taro and tart coconut. what a tease!!! i was so looking forward to eating these and it was GROSS. tart taro and tart coconut is disgusting. i mean tart coconut could pass for young coconut i guess. i put so much taro in my cup thinking it was NORMAL taro. but no they had to make their taro tart. ew.
their fruit flavors were good on a taste test. i ended up getting peach and mango and original. but the more you eat it and the more it melted into each other the more i couldnt tell which was which. either they didnt have enough flavor or they all tasted the same.
even though this place is so close to my place i dont think ill be coming very often. what a bummer!

Back for a real bite: I like the self serve so you can dish out exactly what you want. I experimented with a few flavor topping combos but also went with tried and true faves of mine.
I am glad they moved into the mall.

Another self serve frozen yogurt place to feed my stupid addiction. I guess there could be worse ones though.
Their flavors here are interesting, but the yogurt itself is lacking in my opinion. I liked their tart yogurt which had the right consistency, but the other flavors I tried were either too watery and runny or way too firm. They have lots of toppings, but some of the fruit that they use is canned, which I’m not a huge fan of. All the standard toppings though, plus some interesting ones that other places I have been to didn’t have (lots of jellies, red bean, and goldfish crackers???).
Pretty good option when I’m in the area and get that itch though :)

I totally dig this place, and I’m not even supposed to eat milk products. But it was worth it for the Taro fro-​yo alone. Yup, taro. It’s purple and I’m a girl who likes purple things (hello!). I tried probably six or seven flavors between the samples and what the man ordered, and Taro was by far the best. It had that tangy yogurt flavor along with taro. And it was the kinda creamy frozen yogurt that wasn’t too icy. And with the RED BEAN PASTE topping, it was freaking amazing and totally worth eating milk product for.
That’s right, red bean paste topping. That you dish up yourself in whatever quantity you want. I LOVE PASTE. Even if it comes out of a communal tub. Paste made of red bean is even better. I was eating paste in a mall and loving it. This may be the only review where I can say that.
(and yeah, what’s with the Goldfish toppings? Anyone tried those, and with what flavor?)

I was overly excited about this place opening up, because I would have an alternate place to go to instead of Nubi’s. I walk in and there are sample cups on the counter and the lady manning the station is no where in sight. I grab a few and make my way to the machines thinking that I finally get to try honey dew flavored fro-​yo (I saw that flavor on their web site). I knew it was too good to be true! it seems as though the majority of the machines have containers with dripping remains of melted yogurt below them (bad sign) and 4 – 5 yogurt machines have their flavor signs removed. I try raspberry and it did not even taste like it. I really don’t remember the rest of the samples that I tried because they were all icy and watery. Jetted out, made my way to Nubi’s and had a wonderful finish to my day!

Yet another review on yet another Asian fro-​yo place– Tutti Frutti is actually pretty good with a good selection of different yogurt flavors and toppings available. I went a few days after they first opened, so they might still be working out a few kinks, but the yogurt was tasty and the workers seemed enthusiastic about the place.
I decided on trying three flavors– lychee, peach, and the peanut butter. Peanut butter fro-​yo sounds kinda weird, but its geat, especially if you’re sprinkling on some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and mochi on top. All the fro-​yo had good flavor and it veered towards icy versus creamy, but it was still a decent treat. All the toppings tasted fresh and the fruit was diced small, which I prefer. At 35 cents an ounce, its one of the more inexpensive fro-​yo options available.
I’d re-​visit Tutti Frutti for fro-​yo if I were at Tanforan again and craving something cold and icy.

Has anyone tried the goldfish and yogurt combination yet?!
Anyhoo, yes the yogurt is icy. But then again, they just opened up, let’s give it another week or three, mmkay?
Original tart — delicious! Even though it was icy, I can still taste the tartiness… so good!
Mango — really good as well! I’m a commitment type of gal, and I do love the tart, so it was a great blend of tart and a slight hint of mango flavor.
Cinnamon toast crunch, strawberries, and mochi are a must! The mochi is prepackaged — comes from some Korean company, didn’t know that! So good!
The cashier dude was really friendly — I like! I’ll be back here b/​c I work literally 5 min away so when I’m fiending…

3.5 stars but I feel like rounding up.
$ 0.35 an ounce and 10 flavors to choose from. I thought it was cute how they have named their flavors. I don’t remember them all but the taro one I believe was called «taro-​bly yummy» or something like that. Too bad I didn’t try it, I think the color of the taro was a little too purple for me.
So this is the 1,000,000^th yogurt store that opened up in the bay area? This place is located on the bottom level of the Tanforan Shopping Mall right next to the Red Ribbon stand. I filled my cup with original, mango, and lychee yogurt. All was really good and on the icy side just how I like it. The handles were very easy to pull unlike some other yogurt places where you have to break a sweat.
They have a lot of toppings to choose from, one particular topping caught my attention, yellow gold fishes, yeah the gold fish crackers… I thought it was a little weird. Gold fishes and yogurt? Hm… interesting…
They have my favorite topping though! watermelon!!!
The cashier guy was really nice and funny. Can’t get those kind of customer service anywhere! 80% of the yogurt places I’ve been to have workers that don’t even have a smile on their face. At times you don’t even get a lousy HI.
A great addition to the mall, snack on yogurt while you shop instead of snacking on even more fatty food.

Your average frozen-​yogurt stop. I’d say their yogurt is a little bit on the icy side. I like Nubi’s yogurt in Millbrae (a little down south on El Camino Real) a little better, but tutti frutti is still satisfying to the froyo-lover’s tastebuds (: It’s also a little cheaper than Nubi’s.
Lots of flavors and dry/​fruit toppings to choose from. I recommend you try their tutti frutti flavor. It’s a delectable blend of berries and such.
