Tutti Frutti Fresh and Frutti!

In the quest for the famous and overlyhyped (only my humble opinion of course) In and Out, we stumbled upon a treasure.  As we found the In and Out, there was something we didn't think of and there was something we were all unaware of until we got to the door, but it was to my surprise and happiness when we did find out.

The surprise was that In and Out was closed on Easter Sunday!  Best news I heard that day!  But we were still hungry and wanted to eat before we made out way to Speedzone which was only five minutes away.  It was a shopping plaza but there were a lot of "closed" signs on the door, there was a place that was open though, it was called Tutti Frutti.  A yogurt place and I'm not a big fan of yogurt but this place had some appeal to it that just made me want to go in and check it out.

The moment you enter through the front door you'll be amazed, well at least I was.  I stood there making small circles as I was trying to take in all of the surroundings.

You're greeted by glass, and there are small openings in the glass to get to the tables and chairs, but as I was trying to get to the table you can't help but think that you're about to hit the glass walls.

Then you see the "buffet" of toppings that you can put on your yogurt then a simple sign saying that it's $0.35 an ounce.  Pretty cheap huh!?  Well at first you're thinking that there ar extras or that it's going to come out to about $10 for this place.  You'll be surprised when you get to the register and they do ring you up ...

The selection in Tutti Frutti is quite large, the flavors of the yogurt weren't just the simple flavors.  They had some "exotic" flavors too such as lychee, green tea, taro to name just a few.  I've always been a fan of combining things and here you could do that as well, my combinations at bubble tea places have always been taro and cookies and cream if that was available.  I do however get weird looks when I request it as the combo doesn't sound that appealing, but it definitely is good!

So here I am in the warehouse of yogurt with toppings galore when I see the flavors that I love oh so much!

After sampling the yogurt flavors and finally deciding on comboing the cookies and cream with the taro, I made my way to the buffet of toppings that you have at your disposal.  My guess was that this is where where it gets pricey since it's easy to pile on the toppings.

From fresh fruit to the "bad stuff" for you, they have a lot of toppings, as well as syrups and even condensed milk!

For my little health moment with yogurt, the toppings that made it's way into my cup were the brownie chunks, the cookie dough, strawberries, chocolate syrup and condensed milk.  Some of the "kids" for healthy combinations ... green tea with bananas, strawberries, rasberries, blackberries, peaches and a whole bunch of other crap. 

Mine had a good amount of toppings and was really surprised by the price only being $3.22.  That was good enough for me and I wasn't even able to finish it all. 

I would love to have a place like this on the east, I know they have other places similar but the prices are double if not more from what I've heard.  The flavors that are available are really good, and they are just so full of flavor, not bland by any means.  Another plus that I'll give Tutti Frutti is that they have free water!  The tap water with lemon ... good stuff to wash down the yogurt and gummi bears.
