Frutti Gelato and Yogurt

This place has always had a special place in my heart. Good memories coming here for my froyo fixes. But their gelato selection is too good to pass up. All the gelato is made in small batches. The fruit gelatos like fresh fruit. The red velvet omg! But my all time favorite is the raspberry chocolate chip. I think I’ll miss you the most of all. Goodbye frutti. You will be missed.

i LOOOOOOVE this place. I’m so sad that I found out about this place 2 days before I was leaving back to So.Cal. I tried so many of the gelato flavors and they were all excellent, but I have to say my absolute favorite is the Red Velvet.
Besides the excellent gelato and frozen yogurt, the lady who owns the place is so sweet. She gave me and my sister free scoop coupons and other coupons, and gave my grandparents a bunch of samples to try.
I know that low-​fat/​low sugar frozen yogurt is the trend right now but, everyone should go splurge on some gelato!!! Especially the Red Velvet.

As much of a loyal fan I am to Pinkberry, this is the only place I would say comes even close to the taste of Pinkberry froyo. Before Pinkberry finally opened in San Jose, this was the place I went to for good froyo.
I have been to a ton of froyo places, this is by far the best, next to Pinkberry of course. Plus it’s really cheap and the store is small but really cute and inviting. The people are always super nice too and they have frequency cards :)

Came here today with a few friends. I’ve been here before and have always enjoyed their service as well as their great tasting flavors. The portions here are pretty big too.
Their usual flavors consist of the first 4, but today’s flavors were.
1. Chocolate (low fat)
2. Country Vanilla
3. Natural
4. Posionberry
5. Mango
6. Snickerdoodle (that was a new one)
They have a ton of gelato flavors (at least 10). I noticed they have a red velvet flavor. I didn’t try it but that sounds amazing.
Nonetheless, this place has fair prices, great tasting yogurt, fabulous service and the décor inside is pretty cute.

We tried Frutti Gelato and Yogurt for the first time today.
Pluses:
— Friendly service
— Generous with their samples
— Yummy yogurt and gelato
— Quality fresh fruit toppings
— Clean shop
Minuses:
— Styrofoam cups
— The chocolate yogurt was just okay (it might’ve been Wow Cow, but it didn’t wow me)
Strangely enough, the hubby and I found that our favorite flavor was plain tart. We shared a small plain with raspberries, mango, and kiwi. It was really refreshing and tasty. And we helped our son finish his chocolate yogurt cone.
I sampled some gelato and sorbet, and that was palate-​pleasing too.

I pass this place almost twice a week, and we finally decided to give it a try. I love the way the gelato is presented –all decorated! We tried the red velvet cake, cristalberry mascarpone, and green apple fruit gelato. They were all superb! The red velvet cake was the best in my opinion. The consistency and texture was also very good, unlike a lot of other places where the gelato is more gooey/​thick. ! I can’t wait to come back to try all the other flavors they have.
**update** just came back from frutti again, and tried their kiwi sorbet, pumpkin cheesecake pie, and spumoni. The kiwi was yummy (definitely a must try)! Pumpkin cheese cake was alright, very accurate though, and the spumoni could have been better. Been better at other places. Overall I still love this place and will continue going there.

Here’s what I like about this place:
— Generous portion
— Reasonable prices
— Unpretentious
— Close to my house
They don’t have the fancy décor of some of the other froyo chains, and they don’t have as many flavors. But they always have enough flavors that you will find a few you will want to try.
Bottom line: Good yogurt at a reasonable price.

Frutti’s natural (plain tart) yogurt is icy and milky but doesn’t melt fast. Even the mango has that same milkiness, yet still tastes light and isn’t too sweet. As for toppings, I thought the mochi bits were like Botan rice candies — chewy, quite firm, a little sugary. The mango chunks were ripe and might be the best out of the stores I’ve visited.
Their affrogato, or espresso poured over gelato, is a welcome hot weather departure from ice coffee. It’s available in vanicci (vanilla) or hanzzi (hazelnut). A regular is $ 4.50, large is $ 5.75. I enjoy the contrast between the espresso bite and the creamy gelato, and then slurping up whatever melds together in the end.
This is a charming shop – it sort of has a vineyard theme between the cloth wall panels, hanging lights, and framed prints. Soft indie rock plays in the background (think: Lilith Fair, even when it’s a guy singing!)
Overall, a cool escape from the shopping throngs between Lawrence and Saratoga.

What is this Wow Cow you speak of? Whatever it is, it is delish! Original Tart was solid as well, and talk about generous portion of froyo. I challenge you to eat both Frutti and Clear Optometry at the same time without exploding. I may take myself up on that challenge…
Mochii was too sweet and powdery. Bleh.
1 extra star for the fat kid in front of me who had the biggest smile when he got his LARGE froyo with gummy bears and strawberries. That quantity of froyo is just unsafe for a single person’s consumption, but he finished the whole thing alone. Totally made my day.

Friends and I came here after passing their sign saying GELATO AND YOGURT. We thought that was its name at first, and chuckled at how straight forward this name was, but as we parked, we realized it was actually called Frutti.
The place is a little small, but cute.
They have several flavors of yogurt and gelato. I tried the natural and mango, which are tart, but they call it «natural».
The natural yogurt was pretty good, and like Lolia said, milky with hints of lemon. I wish it was a little more tart though. A big plus about this yogurt though is that it stays firm and doesn’t turn all soupy fast. They give a lot of yogurt and aren’t stingy with the toppings. It’s relatively cheap to start with, but you certainly get your money’s worth here.
Two girls were working when we came it and they were really nice and I like that they smiled a lot :).
Today was also National Spumoni day, so they gave out free spumoni gelato!

Ok I keep driving by here and never stop to check out its yogurt and gelato all in one store! The yogurt was not too bad! They claim it’s made naturally. They had wow cow chocolate, regular strawberry, mango, cookies and cream and plain yogurt. Ok some are tart flavored. I think most but need to ask. I got the Mango Yogurt and it was really icy flavored not creamy but good. It is not too sweet. I got fresh mango fruit on top and it was really fresh the fruit and big chunks. Small is $ 3.00 and topping was $.95 and a pretty big for a small! I still think Yogurtland’s Mango tart is the best!
The girls were super friendly and helped me right away. I also had to sample some of the gelato and tried as taste of the watermelon which was so good! The place was super clean for a Sunday and they also serve free water filled with lemons and strawberries. Next time I will try some Gelato! Oh they also have a «frequent visitor» stamp card is a great deal… buy 10 of any size, with or without topping and get a free medium one.

Frutti is AWESOME. I’ve been here twice, and both times, the service was superb. The girls were very friendly and understanding of my need to sample a ton of flavors.
The store itself is small, but cute. There are a few tables, and some strawberry-​lemon water out for customers to drink.
Prices are very reasonable, considering that Frutti is so generous with both its Gelato and its Yogurt! It’s on par with Café Aroma in this case – both are much better in value than Berkeley Fro-​Yo places.
Lowdown on the yummies:
–Frozen Yogurt: Comes in tart and sweet flavors. Tart flavors are Plain and Mango… the Plain is simply delicious, while the Mango is very very Mango-​y. When I came, the sweet flavors were Vanilla, Strawberry, and Chocolate. $ 3 for a Small, which is huge; $ 3.75 for a Medium, which is monstrous; and $ 5.75 for a Large, which is probably something else. They will give you multiple flavors, unlike most other Fro-​Yo places.
Decent variety of toppings – granola, blackberries, mango, raspberries, mochi, and the like. The best part for me – lychee! They were funny-​looking but still delicious! $ 0.99 for 1 – 2 toppings, $ 1.75 for 3 – 4, and $ 2 for 5. Frutti is quite generous with toppings too!
–Gelato: Mmmmm… so good. They have fat free fruit sorbets as well if you enjoy the lighter fare. Small ($ 3.25) gives you a choice of 1 – 2 flavors, Medium ($ 3.95) gives you a choice of 1 – 3 flavors or 1 – 4 flavors ($ 4.74), and Large ($ 5.25) gives you a choice of 1 – 5 flavors or 1 – 6 flavors ($ 5.75).
I got a Medium with Cheesecake, Mixed Berry Yogurt, Melon, and Watermelon Sorbet. Sooo flavorful… I savored every bite.
Verdict: Great service, cute store, great value, and most importantly – absolutely delicious! My new favorite!
(Check out my pictures for the menu!)

Delicious!!!
Definitely the place to go for the «natural» (aka plain) frozen yogurt. This is by far my favorite for plain, au naturae yogurt! It tastes refreshing, especially since there is a hint of lime after each bite. It’s a little more icy than creamy — but I like it better that way. It doesn’t melt as quickly as other places like Yogurtland, where by the time you reach the bottom, it’s like soup.
I also tried the mango flavor, which tasted creamier, but nonetheless, still delectable. I’m assuming that this will melt more quickly.
The only downside is that it’s not self-​serve… and a bit pricy ($ 3 for a small). So if you only like to eat yogurt, without toppings, I’d recommend getting frozen yogurt here.
Furthermore, the décor is so cute! and the music is so mellow and relaxing. Yay!

I’m so glad this place is doing well, but then again it’s across the street from a highschool. And teens know froyo!
It’s a tiny space but it’s clean and well lit and there’s usually top 40 hip hop/r&b (you know, what the kids listen to these days) playing from an ipod station.
The gelato is great. I’m not a big fan of the stuff so perhaps it’s nothing to write home about for a real conoisseur but for me, it’s a step up from ice cream. Dense and creamy Mmmm. I usually get a kid’s size (1 scoop), that’s how rich it is. I love the flavor selection that keeps it interesting and they do enough business that the bins stay moving — no stale gelato (I hope)
I only recently discovered their natural flavor froyo. I’ve never been to Pinkberry (I think) but I’ve had froyo in the motherland of froyo — Seoul, Korea. I like the natural flavor here because it’s not OVERLY tart, but enough of a bite to make it slightly addictive.
The topping portions are skimpy but they’re very generous with the actual froyo serving and the prices are very reasonable.
Another big plus is the excellent service. Similar to Yogurt Delight on De Anza, this place employs high schoolers who are upbeat, friendly, and on top of things. Like honor roll Catholic school students. They actually seem *HAPPY*! Not emo at all!
BTW, I love saying froyo so thanks for giving me an excuse to repeat myself without looking crazy.
.

I don’t know what i expecting, but I didn’t find it.
Their yogurt is ok, but I like Willow Glen Fro-​yo better, and they have more flavors. I was also annoyed that the girl working there didn’t know which flavors were Wow Cow. Seriously, you should know this if you’re serving it.
As for their gelato, it was good, but Gelato Classico has a better variety.
So, I won’t be returning. I’m sticking with my previous faves of each.

MmmMMmmmMmmmm… that’s some goodness.
I love this place. Because not only is their tart yogurt (they call it «natural» here) but so is their gelato. I got to try the cookie monster (basically cookies ‘n cream) and coffee gelato flavors and they were spectacular. So creamy and rich. As for the tart yogurt, I was SO shocked to see how much they give you for $ 2.75. By far, the most out of all the yogurt places I’ve been to. You can easily share a small with another person. It’s definitely more creamy than tart but there’s good flavor to it. They actually give you so much yogurt that there’s barely enough room for toppings. But toppings are a bit steep at $.95 for 1 – 2 toppings.
Another flavor of yogurt I got to try was the strawberry which tastes just like your Yoplait breakfast yogurt. They even have water here which has kiwis and strawberries floating around for extra flavor. Be careful with the pump. The bf tried to get some water and it… wouldn’t stop coming out. As for seating, this little place can probably hold 10 – 12 max.

It was just ok. Nothing I would go tell people to try.
When I went, the gelatos were out of order. I mean. gelato is in their name, come on. It’s like going to Hot Dog on a Stick and being told they don’t have hot dogs.
The store seemed a bit dim and no music or anything.
But the service was friendly, explained well.
I ordered their pinkberry style yogurt /​w fruit toppings. I felt they could’ve been more generous on the fruits especially with the price ($ 0.95÷2 small amounts of toppings) and to be competitive, but the natural flavor yogurt was good.
Summary
+ Tastes good, friendly service
— store environment, lack of gelato

I tried their plain flavor, which was okay. It wasn’t tart enough and I don’t think it was very creamy either.
My boyfriend had the chocolate gelato, which was also okay. He later commented that maybe he should have gotten something else because it wasn’t very exciting.
The shop itself is a nice spot for meeting with friends. All of the workers were nice and attentive.

Tried this place today since it’s somewhat close to work. It’s not as tart or sour as other natural yogurts I have tried, but it still is a pleasant taste. It’s very icy as well, not with much of a creamy texture. The fruits were tasty, riper than Frozo’s are right now. But I am not into how all the fruit seems to be slightly frozen, so I feel like I have to let the fruit melt a bit but then the yogurt melts too. Frutti’s melts faster than Frozo’s as well. I asked about nutritionals and was told that it’s basically the same 25 cals per ounce that many of the other plain yogurts have as well.
I also tried a taste of their pumpkin gelato, they have a lot of flavors and I absolutely love me some gelato when I don’t feel the need to be a little more healthy (though the sugars in this stuff don’t feel that healthy!!).
I got about 8oz of yogurt with 3 toppings for $ 5.50, a pretty good deal I thought. And they also take credit cards with a $ 5 min. One downer, the yogurt didnt’ really fill me up… whereas if I ate the same amount of non natural frozen yogurt for the same 25 cals per ounce, I’d feel way more full. Kind of a drag.
But I’d go back, it’s close, cheaper and tasty. And I want to try more gelato!
