Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt

I am completely obsessed with this place! I live about fifteen blocks away but I’ll definitely go out of my way to walk over when I’m craving something sweet. This is definitely the best fro-​yo in the city, mostly because they have such a huge variety of awesome flavors. Some that I’ve tried and love are coffee, vanilla, orange cream, and strawberry-​chocolate. There’s always different flavors on different days. They all taste super decadent but are still usually under 120 calories per 4oz (just enough to satisfy me, and at about $ 2 for that much, it definitely won’t break the bank)
Plus, they have free wi-​fi (or so the sign on the door says) and they’re open later than most other places.
The only thing to be wary of (or maybe not) is that they seem to have a lot more toppings than other places, particularly non-​healthy ones. Its so easy to top off relatively healthy yogurt with tonsss of calories in toppings.

This place is pretty cool. They have a lot of flavors and they keep changing often enough. Plus they don’t all taste like froyo but more like the actual flavor.
Other things I like: they list the cultures they use in the yogurt and it’s a little cheaper than Sweet Ending.
They could use a little more seating and there aren’t as many fruit options for toppings but I usually get a plain froyo so this doesn’t really bother me.
Inside doesn’t look as artificial or sterile as some other froyo places so I like coming here.
Overall a good spot, everyone should work it into their froyo rotation at least once.

Favorite froyo place in Philadelphia, and trust me, that’s saying something since there seems to be 88 billion froyo spots in Phila. It’s cute and clean and organized in here, instead of strange and overpriced like Sweet Ending.
Not overpriced, great varying flavor selection, and toppings. I love to get mochi, blueberries (alright…and sprinkles) on top of cake batter and strawberry yogurt. I like coming here because I can get a perfect amount of exactly what I want and still pay $ 3 if I want to.
I took my boyfriend here, and he thought he hated froyo places. Don’t tell anyone, but he liked it. A lot.
Have yet to order any coffee or pastries from the Small Oven Bakery in the back, although the menu looks delightful.

Any place that offers lactose free yogurt or dessert treats gets major props in my book.
Also, Huge fan that it is not just a «plain yogurt» add your own toppings place. The yogurt flavors are vast and make for an exciting dessert treat.
PS — Don’t think going to use the restroom in this joint is going to be convienent. It’s out the doors, past the security lady, down the stairs, around the corner. And — DON’T FORGET THE KEY! (Minus one star for that non-​sense)
Oh yeah, and Minus another for not taking Amex!

Solid fro-​yo spot. This is no Sixteen Handles (for you New Yorkers) but they had good flavor and topping choices. I wish that they would have had more fresh fruit options.
I went for ½ tart original and ½ mango with strawberries, kiwi and mango. It was just the pick me up I needed to continue shopping, and I paid $ 5 for an almost full cup (.50 per oz). Not bad.

Much better yogurt than Sweet Ending (even my 6 year old agrees) but we all like Yogorino’s yogurt best (for taste — but not for toppings and certainly not for price).
Meanwhile, for 51 cent per oz., Tutti Frutti is a good «bang for the buck» in fro-​yo land. My little one got Orange, Pomegranate, Cheesecake and Plain (Tart) Yogurt) and covered it in fruit and candy.
I opted for a small bit of the tart classic plain with come blueberries and 2 mini-​cream puffs on top. The yogurt is so cold it froze the berries! (The guy behind the counter — who is a doll and also easy on the eyes! — said than many people opt NOT to put gummy bears nor jelly beans because the yogurt freezes them rock-​hard.)
So anyhow, we like Sweet Ending — sure — and we frequent the Rittenhouse one — but whenever we venture East of Broad and feel a fro-​you craving coming on — the little one and I head straight to Tuttti Frutti.
Good stuff.
Stick to the Original Plain — it’s the best (IMO).

As someone who is lactose intolerant, I am always on the lookout for good froyo that includes natural probiotics. Enter Tutti Frutti! I am partial to the original tart flavor, but I also like trying out the other flavors. There is a pretty good selection of flavors (I think normally ~10 or so), and while the toppings bar isn’t extensive, it has everything I want (namely, strawberries and kiwi fruit). I also really like the froyo at Sweetgreen, but TF gets the top vote as it is significantly closer to Rittenhouse. Definitely highly recommended.

tutti fruit is a self-​serve yogurt place that charges by the oz. i think $.50/​ounce? It is the only yogurt place in philly (that ive been to) that has lychee flavored yogurt. it is sooooo light and refreshing, especially given the sporadic f heatstroke weather we’ve been getting. the tart here is good, not my favorite, but a nice balance of tart and creamy. for those of you who understand tart yogurt, its not as creamy as yogorino, but not as tart as pinkberry (i like my yogurt on the pinkberry side of the spectrum).
the toppings here are also diy. they have the requisite summer fruits — mangoes, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi. they also have the mochi rice balls that are everywhere now. and the chocolatey goodies like brownies and cookies.
id be really happy if they offered a peanut butter flavored yogurt. mmmm thats my favorite. but in the alternative, do offer 7 – 9 flavors on top of the two i mentioned above.

Tutti frutti was good but not as good as sweet endings. The candy/​fruit choices were limited and the yogurt lacked texture (if that makes any sense to you). I also noticed fruit flies flying around the cut up fruit which i thought was gross.
I tried the following yogurts:
Peanut butter-​yuck
Birthday cake– okay, if your into that
Chocolate-​Very good
Original-​The best of all the yogurts.
All in all, I would probably come here again considering the fact that they have a nice seating area and open space.

My friend took me to this place during our lunch break and I enjoyed it. I love the fact that you can sample as many flavors as you would like before making a final decision. I decided to do a mix of Pure Vanilla and Cookies and Cream. I then added white chocolate chips, brownies, oreos and sprinkles. I have a major sweet tooth. The yogurt was very creamy and did not melt immediately (can’t say the same for Kiwi).
Overall, the flavors are good and delicious. I think they have a pretty good for variety for everyone’s taste buds. You have your traditional vanilla all the way to your mango if you want more of a tart sorbet-​like flavor. The next time I go, I’ll just get vanilla and top it with a lot of fruits.

Is it possible for an establishment to be TOO stylized?
I mean, I know Tutti Frutti is Asian, but it’s kind of like Korea and Philly met up one night for yogurt and Korea vomited all over Philadelphia’s American Eagle sweater. I’m not sure where I was going with that one, but I think I was trying to say I didn’t quite feel cool enough to be eating yogurt in this place.
I’m probably not.
The décor isn’t off-​putting, per se; it’s just a little over the top.
Do I really need a giant picture of a woman creaming her jeans over a cup of frozen yogurt to enjoy my own dessert?
Do I really want people watching me eat in my dessert in a sterile, transparent booth?
Should the government limit the use of pastel colors in eating establishments?
These are questions that need answering.
On the other hand, the froyo, itself, is creamy and delicious. Tutti Frutti offers several flavors for the tart yogurt lover, as well as the ice cream lover whose girlfriend dragged him to the new trendy yogurt place in town. Though they were out of a few of the flavors, I discovered all I needed to do was notify one of the employees and it would be replenished in no time. I tried all of the flavors, but settled on the Original flavor, because I’m a purist.
The toppings are plentiful and, as I fortunately discovered after purchasing my ultra healthy fruit-​only version, most of the unhealthy, sugary items are located in dispensers across from the yogurt machines, rather than on the main serving line.
All the fruits were fresh and there’s a great selection of fresh fruit, nuts, and baked toppings. I especially liked the mochi option, which isn’t available in a lot of yogurt places. I didn’t get a chance to sample any of the pastries because Tutti Frutti was technically my second dessert of the night and I’m technically on a diet.
The price: about average. I ended up paying around $ 6 for a well-​equipped small cup and my girlfriend paid about $ 4 for a compact model.
Personally, I prefer more intimate, less trendy yogurt places, such as my beloved Berryline in Cambridge, MA, which makes its froyo from scratch. However, this place is a great spot for hardcore yogurt addicts who like the quantity and variety that self-​serve offers and don’t get nauseous from the combination of bright lights and seafoam.

I can’t help, but rave about this place!
Tonight I was in the neck of the woods and I stopped in. The friendly cashier in the front greeted me as I passed to the back. There Shane freshly filled a delicious chou crème for me! Shane recognized me from the Unilocal party! We started chatting about Unilocal and baked goods. Two of my fave things!
The bakery in the back, small kitchen bakery, is now making canele in house. Shane let me sample one! The canele are perfect. Not too sweet, custardy and moist on the inside and just the right level of crunchy yet chewy outside you expect from a canele. They are the ones from Market Day that we all know and love!
They are also selling betty speakeasy cupcakes! Today it looked liked they had 4 or 5 different flavors! They are the smaller mini cupcakes, that are perfect for buying a bunch and trying them all! I’m super excited about this because I don’t live as close to betty’s as I used to!
Shane said as the winter progresses he is going to offer more and more baked goods. I’m so excited!
I love supporting this great awesome bakery-​yogotesserie! They are always friendly and really for the quality I never flinch at the prices!
Can’t wait to bring my mom in for a chou crème!

Spacious place with a «beard papas» in the back. It is called «baked in the oven» or something. Perfect place to spend some time with your loved ones or friends. Yogurt or Japanese crème pastries.
Once you walk through the door you are greeted by the nice Asian man. When you walk towards the back to get your cup for SELF SERVE you are greeted by another Asian man who tells you about the Japanese crème pastries.
The reason I gave them 5 stars is because my dad loved it. It was his first time trying fro-​yo. He thought the orange was very titillating! The seating here is very comfortable. They don’t offer mochi
They offer a bathroom but it is in the building they are connected to.

I’m dreaming of their cream puffs and drooling over the keyboard as I write this review. The choux cream (as they call it) is fantastic. Light, airy, and all sorts of deliciousness. Its in the back, not to be missed, and worth a trip to this place in itself. As for the fro-​yo I love the variety here. I felt like a kid in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory surrounded by all sorts of treats. Its self serve so you can decide on how big a pig or how creative you want to be.
The original was reminescent of Yogorino (read: tasty), the cookies and cream was equally as tasty with the creamiest consistency, and the chocolate was a bit icey but still delic. My new go to fro-​yo place!

there was like a tangerine flavor that came bright bright neon orange. I was like mmmm, ok — ay… unsure. paired that with the weird multicolored jellies and it was yummy.
The acai blueberry was very creamy and tart and delicious.
Birthday cake flavor also great. The toppings on the wall are in a container that makes it harder to control the amount you put in your cup which I hate since you pay by weight. But I couldn’t resist putting jelly beans in my cup.
So the selection of different toppings here is great. But if you want higher end quality, yogorino is the way to go.

The sudden explosion of froyo places in Philly is embarrassing to say the least. I mean, the food scene here is explosive, boasting a plethora of incredible restaurants and eateries, but the recent soft serve craze is a few years too late.
That said, Tutti Frutti is exactly what you’re expecting. Several flavors of yogurt; the original is extra dart and delicious, and the birthday cake mind blowing. In fact, the yogurt itself trumps the topping selection by far. I did enjoy the wall mounted candy dispensers because it reminded me of a better time, when I was a sugar-​crazed child romping through Sweet Factory at the local mall. I’m always happy when mochi is present, and the cut up Rice Krispies treats were a nice touch.
A tasty yogurt experience, made better by lounging like a kid in the knockoff Eames rocking chairs that line the front of the store.

It’s been a while since I’ve had frozen yogurt and I’m glad I got to check out Tutti Frutti after dinner. I was greeted by lots of smiles and the staff there were all pretty friendly. I was gunna get regular yogurt, but got suckered into the cookies & cream flavor. I simply topped it with some raspberries and blackberries. It was pretty delicious. The perfect way to end the night.
They also have a bakery in the back serving cream puffs, which I totally would have tried had I not been pretty full from dinner. There’s always next time!

Tutti Frutti Tuesday is still alive for our office. And sometime Tutti Frutti Thursday. And Tutti Frutti Friday.
For a short while they had Cheesecake Flavor. And it was AWESOME. They also removed the Acai Flavor. Which was my favorite.
Rotation is cool though. The new Mango is a good substitute. My realistic suggestion would be a local twitter account to let us know the flavors of the day. And if they have rice krispy treats and peanut butter cups available.
Also, they’ve been out of sample cups lately. I hope they get them in real soon. I don’t trust the general public using spoons for sampling as they probably won’t throw them out between samples.
Oh and there’s a guy that sometimes works there that says «Have a tutti frutti day», I wish that guy worked all the time. He rules.

If you are into tart, probiotic frozen yogurt, get thee to Tutti Frutti right. this. minute. I insist, in fact. Once you start dispensing as many of their ten rotating flavors as you can justify, the fat kid inside you is going to seize the reins to create a creamy, custom cup you will be craving for days after.
Samples are available, so you can make the heavy decision between going the chocolate, peanut butter and birthday cake route or veer into strawberry, original tart and lychee land. Though I tried the clean, pure original tart flavor and enjoyed it, my domineering fat kid insisted the flavors were where it’s at. She’s usually right about these things — the rich combination of peanut butter and cookies-​and-​cream my bf dished made me a wee bit jealous. At $ 0.49/ounce, we spent $ 9 on two plentiful desserts. It would be way easy to go crazy here and rack up quite a bill, though.
Toppings are not as epic as the cream itself — highlights were the variety of sugary cereals and candies, plus nice-​looking nuts and mochi, those little Japanese gelatinous marshmallows that are so de rigeur at fro-​yo joints. Hopefully Tutti-​Frutti will rotate in new toppings — I’d like to see some tasty strawberry, fudge or marshmallow sauces, or something savory like crunchy, salty pretzel bits.
Minor toppings quibble aside, this is easily the best frozen yogurt in Philly, and probably the only dessert that can even attempt to give Capogiro’s legendary gelato at 13^th and Sansom a run for their money. I’m going for lunch today. Not after lunch. For lunch. Cause sometimes, you just gotta listen to that chubby baby inside. She knows.

I stopped by Tutti Frutti a few hours ago after a good workout (a tough 5-​minute walk from where I got off the bus on Broad & Locust… whew!). As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly gentleman and was offered to try some free samples of their fro-​yo. I’m a sucker for Blueberry and Pineapple, but too bad they didn’t have Pineapple. So, I decided to opt for the next best thing… Orange Sorbet.
Blueberry and Orange Sorbet was a great combination! It was tutti-​frutti-​tangy-​licious! *slurps* Unfortunately, there were no sign of Fruitty Pebbles so I topped it with Fruit Loops. :(In addition, I also added gummi bears, strawberries, and red raspberries.
The dry toppings are held in dispensers (like Kiwi Frozen Yogurt) that are attached against the wall.
Tutti Frutti is WAY BETTER than that awful Sweet Ending, located on 18^th & Chestnut St. Unfortunately, Sweet Ending will be opening up another location less than a block away from this shop.
As much as I like Tutti Frutti and think this place kicks Sweet Ending’s fanny, my heart will always be with Phileo.
