Tuttimelon

Nice yogurt. But… toppings a bit inadequate. The toppings bar is a messy as well.
Counter person too busy on iPhone.

Update: they are still closed so it appears the location is no longer in business. Boo come back! :(

Awesome awesome!!!
My favourite yogurt place in town. with all the options of add ons and different flavoured bobas…

No creamy flavors and sub-​par toppings as well. They also try and get you to eat it with these miniature like, 2.5 inch long stick? Not spoons. We had to ask for spoons and he made it seem like an inconvenience.

I came here with a friend one night a few months ago and literally right after we sat down with our gelato they put signs up on the glass saying the refrigerator is broken and they can’t serve the ice cream… wow.

Not the best fro-yo…BUT I always come back because
1. great service, the staff here are very polite and accommodating
2. prices are VERY reasonable
3. many flavours available
4. open late
thank you for satisfying my late night fro yo cravings Tuttimelon :)

Went in and was so excited to try it out, and then I saw a little critter (dare I say mini roach) around the fro yo machine and retreated.
Then I went to the gelato selection and was about to try a flavor and saw two more critters (again – roaches?) hovering around a piece of kiwi that was on the floor (among other disgusting food particles – think sprinkles, mochi, gum wrappers, etc) and that’s when I said I was done.
Sorry! Maybe you should run a mop through the place and you won’t attract these little guys (see attached photo)

I have been to this and the now-​closed West Portal location many times. Today, bah humbug, Christmas Eve Day, we went in after a delicious lunch on Chestnut. I tasted the cheesecake — not for me. I wasn’t planning on getting anything, but for the first time ever for me I saw they had coffee flavor. This is my all time favorite froyo flavor. I did not taste it.
We go to check out and I get a spoon. My cup is rather full. I dig into the coffee froyo and it’s DISGUSTING. It tastes like sour milk. I ask the woman at the counter what to do. She gets a spoon and sticks it into my cup. She says, «that’s the way it tastes.» I tell her I can’t eat it and ask for a refund. She says no. I say, how about some toppings for my kids since I can’t eat it. No! NO customer service, NO client goodwill, NO compromises. Seriously, my fidelity card was filled 7 of 8 spots. Clearly we are regulars.
My daughter had a few bites and is complaining of a stomach ache. Thanks for holiday memories!
I was there at 1:30 pm on 12÷24÷13. The saleswoman was in the back most of the time and her English was so bad that she should not be working retail. I hope management reads this before they lose another long-​time customer!

Steep prices. As in, Lombard steep, complete with all the twisted parts.
Did you just charge +$ 1.50 for a sugar cone?!? Not a waffle cone, that’s more, but a regular small sugar cone. Is that even legal? On top of already pricey, adding the cone charge put the gelato over the top.
The fro-​yo is totally fine and priced acceptably, but the gelato is an outrage.
The fancier gelato shops down the block that charge more for the creamy stuff out of the gate won’t sock you for a cone. You may as well go there, at least you don’t feel like you’re getting taken.

After Yogorino opened on Chestunt, Tuttimelon just doesn’t cut it. It’s much too tart. Yogorino’s is so creamy and just slightly sweet. The prices are much lower but, once you’ve had the best froyo in the world and the best gelato outside of Italy, you can’t go back.
Since Yogorino closed on Sunday, I need to find a substitute. So, I guess I’ll give Tuttimelon another chance but only because it’s a short walk away. Unfortunately, I tried going back once before and was so disappointed. Once you’ve tried a fine bottle of wine, you know the difference. I’d rather drink water than a bad bottle of wine.
I wish you could order Yogorino online. It’s not quite as creamy that way but, it’s still much better than Tutti. Do they ever have vanilla? It seems popular with the kids so, some do like it. Give it a try. It may fit your taste buds. I hope so.

«Tooty”-melon is more like it.
Good froyo, great toppings selection, but shortly after each treat here, I end up sprinting to the nearest bathroom.
Lactose intolerance, ya’ll. :(

An alternative neighborhood gelato and fro yo place to Yogorino because it’s self serve and do not charge by the number of toppings, but BOY IS IT EXPENSIVE!!! They charge way too much per ounce here.
–Gelato is $ 4.75/serving. You can buy a whole tub of gelato a block away at Real Foods company for $ 5.99.
Didn’t enjoy the yogurt flavors last time, but they do change them from time to time.
There is seating area in side, so if you’re feeling like dropping $ 20 on fro yo, grab a bowl and enjoy a spoonful of goodness!

Way overpriced, dubious quality.
A standard amount of yogurt and toppings ran my friend over $ 8, which is not just shocking, it’s offensive. Similarly, a small gelato cone costs a hefty $ 4.75. Considering the average to sub-​par quality of the gelato, this is at least a dollar overpriced. Even more egregious was that on a recent visit, I was informed that there was *no chocolate* gelato that day. Call me crazy, but I’m not sure I can respect any ice cream, gelato, or froyo establishment that doesn’t even carry a standard chocolate option (the only closest flavor was a tiramasu option — not even a nutella, chocolate fudge brownie, or something of that ilk).
Save your money and head up the street to Yogarina which is cheaper, tastier, and significantly more pleasant of an experience.

The original tart is just super sweet and not tart at all. The fro-​yo is very expensive, and it rockets out of the dispenser to make you buy more. The topping selection is also very limited. Not happy with this place.

The taro was not tangy.
There was a preponderance of Italians yammering away in Italian and slouching.

I love the option of self-​serve! I tried every flavor and my favorites include guava, taro, pineapple, mango and original. The helpful suggestions tell me how to dress up my froyo. Plus, I can get gelato too.
Service is fast and friendly. The staff works hard to keep the place clean. Parking is tough on the street, but there are nearby lots.

What the hell happened to this place? It used to be a nice, clean medium sized yogurt store in the middle of a rich neighborhood (I’m just assuming since I see Maseratis, Porsches, and other luxurious cars all over the place) Now it looks like the aftermath of Project X (Exaggerating by the way) For a place with so much potential, it’s funny and a little depressing of how the owner/​manager/​whoever is in charge does not take advantage of it.
Anyways, I don’t usually care for décor and what not, but holy fucking crap. There are freaking tiles missing on the wall, there is ONE light twitching on and off from time to time, the bathroom sign has been missing for months, there’s literally an open trash can in between a seat and a stool, and all but one of the yogurt cup holders on the wall are broken. Usually, it would take a couple of days to remedy these maintenance problems, but it’s been WEEKS/​MONTHS. I’m going to start putting in bets that it might not even be fixed for a YEAR at the rate this is going.
If you somehow manage to brush that off and decide to get some yogurt anyways, you’re in for some more horrendous news. All the yogurt machines are RARELY operable at once, so you’re stuck with probably 3 – 4 flavors to choose from. Aside from that, the trays that carry the yogurt that spills under are all stained with different colors. And the most disgusting part is that directly under, the machine is wrapped in garbage bags. Best way to lose your appetite is probably wondering what the fuck that garbage bag is covering… For god sakes, it’s so cheap/​ghetto that I forgot I was in Chestnut.
Overall, EHHH… Definitely props to all the workers because they all look like they work really hard to maintain this place. Might be a lost cause… but some of them are still able to make my experience not completely horrible. 1 Star for poor management/​ownership though. If the business you own look this shitty… I don’t want to see how your home is like…

Here’s an interesting sociological experiment. Go to the Tuttimelon on the border between Chinatown and North Beach on Broadway and Grant. Then come here. One is a kung pao-​meets-​rigatoni melting pot of people from all walks of life. The other is like a carton of designer vanilla ice cream infused with truffle oil. Now I’m not slamming either, but the difference is pretty startling when you think about it.
Well, don’t think about it too much, but who knew fro-​yo was the great equalizer? Yep, it’s not our dream of world peace and prosperity. It’s the goal of getting as many toppings in your fro-​yo cup without breaking the bank on the scale, the moment of truth when you fear the skinny server in front of you doesn’t start to giggle at the extreme weight of your creation. I try to avoid humiliation like that constantly but always seem to fail.
I just figure if I go over $ 6, I must be having an inadvertent second after-​dinner amuse-​bouche of coconut shavings, pulverized almonds, mochi bits and lychees. Or maybe I’m just having a bad day. This particular store appears to attract the well-​to-​do Anglo-​Saxon people who live in the ‘hood, blonde mostly, many walking their dogs with cashmere sweaters around their collars. The people, not the dogs. Usually.
FRO-​YO — 4 stars… still good, but watch the spigot for excessive fro-​yo fixes… the no-​sugar Chocolate ain’t bad (see photo)
AMBIANCE — 3 stars… land of white people
SERVICE — 3.5 stars… no giggles
TOTAL — 4 stars… sweet-​tooth satisfier if in the Marina

I haven’t been back here since my «five foolish visits in one day» scheme. You had to admit, Tuttimelon’s $.99 small bowl of Orignal Tart promotion was a good deal. Man, those were the days.
Tuttimelon’s Marina location is the latest to convert into a self-​serve joint. Probably its been remodeled maybe a week ago. And just like Chestnut Street on a busy Saturday afternoon, the fro-​yo shop was busy as well.
No surprise, that I’m also paying Marina-​prices as well. The fro-​yo cost $.42 an ounce with a choice of eight flavors. The tentative flavors are: (from left-​right)
–Original Tart
–Pomegranate
–Acai Blueberry
–Strawberry
–Mango
–Cookie and cream
–Vanilla
–Chocolate
With the chaotic crowd scattered all over the shop, I only sampled the Vanilla and took Chocolate as my choice of fro-​yo. The choice of toppings are limited at this location, in which I took the chewy mochi balls, fresh raspberries and raspberry syrup as my topping on my chocolate fro-​yo for $ 5.00. The chocolate flavor had good flavor with a nice and creamy texture.
My bowl of fro-​yo:
Despite a busy Saturday in the Marina, I actually enjoyed my treat. Plus, I definitely support the Tuttimelon franchise. I’ll definitely be back to this location and try the other flavors, most likely on the weekdays.

Its hot out and you don’t really want to go in to one of «those» Marina bars on a Sunday afternoon to cool off from all the shopping you’ve been doing, so why not grab some mango tart yogurt with strawberries on top?
Sounds like a plan and it’s a good one. I would stay away from the gelato here as it looks like everyone else does… ie: looks to be very freezer burned in the case.
