Fro-yo girl here. Meadow just took over the old Jenis' Ice Cream space in Venice Beach. It's a new walk-up froyo window. The offerings are extremely limited, which would be fine if the quality matched the lack of variety. It does not.
Three froyo creations were listed on the menu and one was for kids. You can customize the flavors and toppings. The adult froyo cups are $14 and include toppings. Ask for samples.
Bases:
* Tart (dairy): Greek yogurt, it was loose and icy, not the dense, creamy Greek froyo that people are currently craving. The texture was off. It wasn't smooth and also melted very fast.
* Matcha (vegan): creamier and thicker than the tart, so the texture was better. I didn't like how I could taste the coconut base because I wanted more matcha flavor. It also seemed quite sweet (stevia?)
Toppings: strawberries, strawberry puree, pistachio crunch, sprinkles, sea salt, pistachios, dark chocolate drizzle, granola. You also couldn't see the toppings, so there wasn't that visual appeal of a nice toppings bar.
The granola was very plain - mostly seemed like oats, no clusters or nuts.
Service was excellent. It's a window, so there is no seating.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl. read more
