Beach Cities Yogurt & Gelato (Grand Opening) - Huntington Beach, CA

Looks like it's Frozen Yogurt Week here on OC Food Blogs. Breaking news via CP FoodWire: Beach Cities Yogurt & Gelato is holding its Grand Opening this week. Located near the corner of Beach and Warner, it has set itself us as a direct competitor to the popular Golden Spoon franchise less than a block away. Beach Cities seems to be counting on its healthy frozen yogurt toppings to attract business from the nearby Huntington Plaza office tower. That's a tall order given the convenience and popularity of the Golden Spoon located at the tower's base. Will moribund office workers, such as myself, be motivated enough to walk the extra block for a slightly different product? My guess is no, but we'll see. According to my friend and fellow manager, Happy Hour, Beach Cities was completely empty today at lunchtime. Beach Cities Yogurt & Gelato offers self-serve yogurt with 12 flavors that rotate monthly. The yogurt and toppings cost $0.30 per ounce. For a limited time, Beach Cities is offering the first three ounces for free. But, don't try to get just three ounces. Happy Hour said the owner got a bit tetchy when he asked for the free, three-ounce portion. I'll review this spot sometime in the next few weeks for Chubbypanda - The Epicurious Wanderer. Free wireless Internet access is available for all customers. (Edit 05/17/2007: Read my full, much more favorable review of Beach Cities Yogurt & Gelato here. Happy Hour and I are now regular customers.) Beach Cities Yogurt & Gelato 16895 Beach Boulevard Huntington Beach, CA 92647 1-714-841-3868
