"One of my favorite spots to grab something kind of healthy and sweet is Tutti Frutti; I get the big fruit cocktail covered in chamoy, lime, and Tajín." - Nadia Chaudhury

The place is amazing, cool decorations that show you/teach you about how they make and about the frozen yogurt, and the employees are nice but kind of not paying attention sometimes. Like there was this one time where we stopped to get some yogurt and once we were done we had to wave at the employee just to get their attention, but I mean I would be doing the same thing so honestly give that girl a raise but none the less the yogurt is amazing, the toppings are good and in-season and hopefully will stop by again soon. 5 STARS!

This is a typical frozen yogurt place. It has a good variety of flavors and a huge selection of toppings. What I especially liked was that it was very clean inside on both sides of the counter. It's located in the Shannon shopping center which is not visible from any major highway so I needed my GPS to find it, but I'm glad I did.

I have been to this place several times my kids always love it. I always get the Mangonada and my kids ice cream.

Tons of toppings, but the actual yogurt all tasted weird. Between me and my kids, tried 5 different flavors, they all had a weird taste.

The yogurt is great, but the prices are exorbitant! I came here by myself today and got a 16-ounce cup of yogurt, which I thought was a reasonable amount. I topped it with a few strawberries and a little bit of kiwi. My cup cost almost $13! When I asked about the price, guy behind the counter kindly pointed to the price, and apparently, it's $.89 an ounce. I like the yogurt, and the shop is clean, but I don't like the prices, and I don't think I'll be back. It's just too expensive!

This has been a come together with my family spot for a long time because we just love their product but unfortunately I came in nov 12 and was experiencing trouble with my card. Owner said I did not have any money and that's why it was declining when it wasn't the case. Very very rude to assume ones broke and say it out loud in from of other customers. Definitely will not be coming back.

love this place, especially the frozen yogurt! it's so delicious but it can be pretty pricey depending on how much you serve yourself (they price you off the weight of your yogurt). if your looking for a sweet treat this is the place!!!

We have to visit Tutti Frutti every time we visit Durham. The store is bright and cheerful, clean, and the frozen yogurts are really good. There are a few tables if you want to eat in the store. Highly recommended!

I don't mean to Tutti my own horn but I'm not a Foodie. I'm better than that. I'm more of a Frooti. A Tuuti Frooti. I'm not sure what that means but I know my Bubble Tea. Here you have some of the better Bubble Tea in the Triangle area, from a spot which is a chain that is all over the place, especially the Mid Atlantic and South. It's not the best, hence the rating, but it's pretty good nevertheless. Nice Black Milk tea, enjoyable, and nice service too. I met an English girl (from Solihull near Birmingham) in here, and flirted with her, but I didn't get anywhere. Oh well.

Stopped here looking for a dessert after dinner. Tutti Frutti had a very good selection of topping and flavors including my personal favorite frozen yogurt flavor Birthday cake. The place looked very nice with its bright colors and neon menu. The staff was very friendly and made it a very positive experience. Will be coming back!

On Friday afternoon's when I'm out and about running errands, I love to stop at Tutti Frutti, for some awesome yogurt! You get to build your own, there are many flavors to choose from, quite a few organic choices as well. What's even better is the bar that with all sorts of toppings, I usually get cherries, Heath bar crunch, and Hot Fudge, but there is a huge selection of toppings that most will difficult to decide what to get, but guess what? You can have as many as you like! It's just a sunny happy place, and I love to go there on my afternoon adventures!

I stopped by Tutti Frutti after grabbing a bite to eat next door. The flavors were very limited. There weren't many flavors that stood out to me. Most of it was bland. The flavors didn't stand out. There were also some machines that didn't work correctly. My bowl came out to be $5-6. Overall, I didn't really enjoy my experience here. It's a good place if you're craving something sweet.

This is one of the older self-serve fro-yo places in Durham. They are brightly lit, convenient to my house (ha!) and always have a delicious selection. I try to steer clear of the fruit since the sneeze-guard isn't very low and I have seen some kids get all up in there. I usually take mine to-go since it can be crowded on weekends and they always have those nice domed lids. Parking is never a problem on weekend evenings, which is when I usually go.

There's never a terrible time for Froyo, and I absolutely LOVE this place. It's definitely got a great variety, with different flavors on a daily basis. Just to mention a few flavors: - Tart: can't go wrong with the original. The Tart flavor here is definitely bold, less sweet than other places such as Menchies or Sweet Frogs. - Coconut: sweet, great hint of coconut. Yummy. - Hazelnut soy: has more of an artificial flavor to it, not a huge fan The toppings bar is pretty typical, with a good selection. I typically go for the fruit, and love that their fruit is always fresh. At the end of the line, all froyo is paid for by weight. I love this aspect, in comparison to some places that have premeasured sizes, because I can mix and match flavors, and get just the right amount for my cravings. In addition to the froyo, you can get other combos of Boba Tea, Fruit Smoothies to your content. Atmosphere, clean. Staff, friendly. Definitely recommend!

"Strong new arrival in the Durham fro-yo scene" Fairly new Local Yogurt (LY) has dominated the Durham fro-yo scene, but the arrival of Tutti Frutti (and close to the LY store) likely has the LY owners quaking. This store looks A LOT like Yopop (formerly, Orange Leaf) in Chapel Hill. Bright colored walls, and tons of self-serve yogurt flavors and toppings from which to choose. Apparently, word got out fast about this place, as it was PACKED on a Friday evening. What do they have? Almost easier to answer what they DON'T have. I mixed four flavors into one bowl- plain/ tart, pistachio, oreo, and death-by-chocolate. They had lots of flavors I didn't try: papaya, raspberry, strawberry, red velvet cake, cheesecake, and more. For toppings, I went simple with just white chocolate chips and mango pieces. However, they also had tons of options there- popping boba, tons of berries, mochi, cereals, other chocolate chips, and much, much more. The procedure is simple- fill the bowl with whatever you want, they weigh the bowl, and you pay $0.39/ ounce. The bowls are BIG, so it'd be easy to lose track and get a ton, so watch out. The yogurts (and toppings) were outstanding- every one of them was absolutely delicious. I really like LY's plain/ tart, but I actually think the Tutti Frutti one is even better. Service was friendly, too, though really they are just working the registers and refilling items. What I love about Tutti Frutti relative to Local Yogurt- 1) way more flavors, 2) you control the exact amount, and 3) frankly, LY sometimes skimps on the toppings even after charging an absurd $0.75 for the first one. Here, you can put as much as you want, and as many different types as you want without the high price. My whole family got a generous amount of fro-yo here for under $10, and I don't think that'd happen at LY. The negative to Tutti Frutti- it is a chain, whereas Local Yogurt is locally owned and operated. Weigh that as you like. No pun intended.

Today is the grand opening for Tutti Frutti! Stop by through 10:00 tonight and you can get a 12oz cup of frozen yogurt filled with the toppings of your choice for $1.00 + tax. Being the froyo addict that I am of course we stopped by today. I loaded up my cup with blueberry, cheesecake, and cookies and cream. A few brownie pieces and some mochi to top it off and I was ready to start indulging! The blueberry was a bit tart for my liking but the cheesecake tasted well like cheesecake and the cookies and cream was probably my favorite. The brownies were fresh and the mochi tasted like mochi. I also tried out a few sample cups of green tea (tasted like great tea but just a little sweet), original tart (way to sour for more liking), coconut (yum!!), and peanut butter (like frozen Jiff!). My husband had some of the death by chocolate which was a major disappointment as it wasn't really chocolaty so definitely no fear of death by chocolate here. I think they need to work on a few of their flavors but overall I was quite impressed with the quality of their froyo and the quantity. They had at least 8-10 flavors and it looks like they will have that many daily. The location is great. Ample parking and enough space inside to accommodate those who want to stay and enjoy their froyo. I have been off the Local Yogurt bandwagon for a while (I like the self serve better, move flavors and more toppings) now as I've been driving 20 minutes to Skinny Dip in Cary to satisfy my cravings but I'm definitely moving Tutti Frutti to the top of my Durham/Chapel Hill/RTP froyo list. Well done guys, I hope you stay busy!

I don't understand places like this, nor the hoards of college girls and moms that flock to them, but it was so bright and cute... I'm thinking, maybe it's different... It's not. Anyway, it seemed like maybe a good idea in comparison to driving all the way out to Goodberry's for some real deal ice cream on a Sunday night after some salty Only Burger goodness. So the good points. Lots of flavors that apparently change out and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. It's a cute establishment and they have Ghirardelli syrups. You go to get in line, a line that stretches around the restaurant to the door. You get a bowl that would easily be at least a pint and a half big, which seems just... a bit much. Oh, but there's one double that size too. So you're in line, passing flavors as is everyone else is in front of you, and there's a lot of people moving in and out just to see the flavors you're standing in front of, and visa versa. The line is not quick moving, which also seems like a bad idea, given the fact that frozen items do not stay frozen for 20 minutes. And there's a huge bottleneck at the toppings section. The major issue here is that the space is too small for what they've got going here, and the way they're doing it doesn't exactly work well. Basically, if they're busy, you'll wish you'd gone to Local Yogurt for the same thing. As for the actual flavors: I got the pineapple, raspberry and cheesecake. The cheesecake is a winner. The pineapple was super tart, which, if I had chocolate toppings would have rocked. The raspberry tasted like unnatural flavorings. Again with the toppings, the bottleneck on toppings makes for a chaotic salad bar situation with all the tongs and scoops that I really just have to cross my fingers and try not to pay attention to. I know there's a ton of raves here, but I really just like feeling like it's possible that the machines MIGHT be taken care of (because there aren't 14 of them being touched by a thousand people and kids a day) and the topping situation along with the line was a real turnoff. We'll drive to Goodberry's for bing cherries next time.

This review is about the Tutti Frutti bubble tea. I was surprised to find that Tutti Frutti served bubble tea and even more surprised to find that it's actually really good. I'm even tempted to say that it's one of the best bubble tea locations in the Triangle. So there's an assortment of either milk bubble tea or slush bubble tea (smoothie consistency). The milk bubble teas have the traditional tea flavors such as taro, jasmine, thai, and regular black milk tea, while the slush contains more Americanized options like vanilla latte or cookies & cream. I've tried both the regular and the slush options. I LOVE the regular milk teas here. They actually remind me of the authentic milk teas I got in Taiwan. Really great combination of tea flavor and milk (99% sure they use real milk rather than powdered, which is already a plus compared to other bubble tea locations in the area). The slush bubble teas taste more like milkshakes with bubbles inside. Nothing too special about these. I would definitely recommend the regular milk teas over the slush ones. The slush bubble teas can have the sugar level altered while the regular milk teas cannot. But what really sets apart Tutti Fruitti bubble tea from the rest is the bubbles themselves! They are actually marinated in some kind of syrup, so the bubbles are bursting with flavor! The texture is great for the bubbles too - the perfect amount of chewiness. By far the best bubbles I've had in the Triangle. If you are a fan of bubble tea and haven't been to Tutti Fruitti, pay this place a visit - you'll be very pleasantly surprised.

How can I not love Tutti Frutti? More flavors, more toppings, minimal interaction with people when I'm greedily filling my cup (and avoiding judgment), and excellent quality - I'm sold. I was terribly disappointed that neither taro nor pomegranate were there, but I highly enjoyed lychee & raspberry. I think that my taste tends towards more tart, yogurt-like flavors, so I really loved those particular flavors. I didn't like banana quite as much, and I thought chocolate & birthday cake were good, but pretty ordinary. Avocado was a fun, unique flavor :) I also adore the contrast between popping boba & jelly & mochi; texture is so fun. Seating is great, and I love that the whole thing is mostly self-serve. I wish it were more accessible for me, but I guess that's a good thing for my waistline ...

I have already tried most of the popular froyos in the area: Local Yogurt, Tasti Delite (which shouldn't even count as frozen yogurt, nastiest of them all), Yofruit, Yogenfruz, Freshens, Yogurt Pump. Tutti Fruitti, despite it's tacky name, is truly the best if you are the kind of froyo lover who aims for the kind that tastes more like yogurt, not cheap ice cream. The perfect amount of creamy & tart taste. In the evenings, lines are always long but fast. I think one week, I even went there nearly every day after dinner, since their almond flavor is ridiculously good. Froyo by the pump & weight (including toppings). Ask for sample cups at the front. My favorites: Almond, Nutella, Original Tart, Lychee, Chocolate

Got a strawberry and mango smoothie with boba. Refreshing. The only suggestion I have is to add more boba. I felt like there was not much boba compared to previous experiences I've had. Nonetheless, most likely will be my go to place for future boba cravings.

I love froyo, especially the self-serve places where you can mix and match all the flavors and just dump on all the toppings you want. The end result is not pretty but tastes amazing. I tried the mocha latte, speculoos cookie, and cookies and cream flavors, and all were tasty, but pretty mild. The fruit toppings are easy to spot but I almost missed the nuts and chocolate which are in separate containers. There are some seats inside, but most of it is empty space (which they should totally make use of).

Lots of flavors and topping options. A good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. They have smaller sized cups also for those that just want a small treat.

A friend was raving to me about Tutti Frutti's bubble tea and so, ended up driving out to a very small shopping complex about 10 minutes from campus. Walking in, I thought the store looked much like any other Tutti Frutti, sleek and modern-looking. The main difference was the flashing menu formatted like a chalkboard, with changing colors lighting up the words. It was rather fun to look at. There were 5 flavors of tea to choose from, so I decided to order the jasmine green milk tea, while my BF got the Thai milk tea. The wait time was rather on the long side for bubble tea, though the store was not that busy. While the first sips of the jasmine green milk tea were really great, the aftertaste was somewhat bitter. The Thai milk tea was pretty sweet, with nice pearls. Overall, mixed reviews. But it was worth trying!

Disappointed is an understatement. Usually my go to boba shop until today. Cashier refused to make boba drinks for us after hearing our order. Won't be returning here anymore.

First time! I actually grew up at the church around the corner from here, but this little shopping center has been revitalized. This FroYo joint was just kind of boring. Nothing exciting. No really bright colors or off the wall flavors. Just ... another yogurt joint. As a matter of fact, I'm tired of typing about it. I'll stick with Menchies or when Im desperate, Sweet Frog! A HA! I searched my brain for a positive point. The price. It was less expensive than normal AND the cashier pressed a couple buttons and my total went down again. Winning, but not enough to keep me coming back.

First of all, we saw this on Yelp and figured it was just another Froyo pay by weight place. But we decided to give it a try a few weeks ago since we were in the area. We were delightfully surprised at the yogurt selections, and even a range that cater to all types of customer needs with soy based, sugar free, non-fat, and low-fat offerings. Now personally I don't particular have a need for many of these categories; however even with these specialty types the ingredients are fresh and the flavor is not lost. This yogurt is by far the best I have ever had! We have now been here a few additional times, even with a 30 minute drive. I cannot recommend Tutti Frutti enough. They also have a big selection of bubble teas and smoothies.

Our go-to, local, frozen yogurt spot! They also have bubble teas! They have dairy and non-dairy options, and the flavors rotate. They have an array of different toppings, from brownies bites, to bubbles, to Swedish fish and more! You can create an account and get money off your next order! The kids love making their own, and during this time, they are still open for business, offering gloves and sanitizer at the door, 5 people at a time, and to go only. We will continue to support them!

This is solely for the bubble tea and has nothing to do with the frozen yogurt. Disclaimer: I've had bubble tea here once before, maybe a couple years ago and it was alright. I came back for bubble tea twice about two months ago and had a horrible experience. First time: I had a milk oolong tea with boba. My friend had black milk tea with boba. Being thirsty, I finished the drink within 10 minutes or so. By the time I get home - 20 mins later - my stomach started acting up. It felt bloated, it started boiling, I couldn't manage to get it out (sorry TMI). I just lied in bed writhing shaking moaning in pain for almost THREE hours. I texted my friend: apparently she only drank half the tea and puked it all out the moment she got home. But then I thought, maybe the milk is the culprit. Maybe the milk was old. Maybe it was a bad day for my stomach. Maybe I was just stressed out. So I decided to give it another chance, three weeks later. This time I had a black tea with boba, no milk. The tea was a bit... cloudy, but I tasted a bit and it didn't taste strange, so I brushed it off. Oh how wrong I was. I got the tea and we left to go home. Within 10 mins of drinking half that drink, I could feel my stomach churning. I begged my friend to race home fast, and just about 15 mins from the time I drank, I was hugging the toilet like my best friend, hurling EVERYTHING OUT. It took two cups of hot ginger water and an hour of rest for me to feel normal again. So, I'm not sure what is the deal here. I drank here a long time ago, but between then and now, something changed. Or maybe I was just unlucky for two separate occasions, three weeks apart? Maybe the tea powder or the boba was the culprit? Who knows, but I know for sure I don't have the courage to force my body to go through another experiment like that again. Drink at your own risk. My friends like the frozen yogurt, so that's the one star.

Tutti Frutti's my favorite Frozen Yogurt back home in MD so I was PLEASANTLY surprised that they were also in Durham. Lots of rotating flavors (with a choice of 16, I believe, at any given time), and a huge line all the way to the door even on a summer weekday night. Indoor and outdoor seating were both great. There are favors you can't get elsewhere in Durham, some of my favorites: almond, pistachio, taro, papaya (creamy, not really tart), and seasonal flavors like peppermint mocha, egg nog, and pumpkin pie. Their cheesecake topping is always yummy and not mashed up and soggy like other places. I definitely enjoy self-serve froyo more, even though this is slightly further than Local Yogurt from me. At 39 cents an ounce, the price is fair for self-serve but much cheaper than non-self-serve places. I don't have many issues with this place, except sometimes flavors run out and don't get refilled. Service is usually great (especially with the owners), although sometimes the employees aren't as helpful. Once, my friend and I were given one sampling cup each, so we had to keep asking for more. Another time we were planning on splitting the price to use a coupon; one employee told the cashier to weigh them separately, but the cashier just said "Whatever, they can figure it out." Anyways, these things were pretty trivial, so five stars anyways.

Having re-upped at all the local fro-yo joints in the past few months, I can safely say Tutti Frutti is the current king of the hill. They offer the best combination of variety, quality and value I've found. I also emailed with the company back in February and confirmed all their flavors except cookies n cream are gluten free. I would still be cautious of any cake or batter related flavors though, as I don't know if they've introduced any new flavors since I received this information. It seems some people don't like to self-serve their fro-yo, but they fall into the same category as the folks who freak out having to eat at a buffet or share a salad bar with their fellow humans. Having been to Local Yogurt on college night enough times; I'd rather take my chances at Tutti-Frutti.

We swung by here for the first time this afternoon as it was a lot closer than Local Yogurt and figured why the heck not? So so glad we did, I think we've found our new summer spot for cool treats on hot days/nights! While the outdoor seating was packed, when we went inside, there was barely a line for the toppings, and no line for anything else. The flavor selection was excellent and I was able to get a great mix of flavors without feeling like I loaded up on anything. The cheesecake and birthday cake were definite highlights, as was the papaya. The orange dream (or cream... or something) was a teensy bit chemically, but I loved the blueberry flavor. My toppings included mochi (and lots of it), pineapple, strawberry, gummy bears, and rainbow sprinkles, as well as a few chocolate covered sunflower seeds that are good on their own, but didn't compliment the super fruity mix I had very well. What REALLY impressed me was the price, though. For my beau and I, it rang up to a little over 6 dollars, which (compared to most weigh and pay froyo places) made me feel like I was stealing! I still felt satisfied after, and we had a great time sitting outside on the comfortable bench and people watching. This is clearly a spot for everyone, young and old, and each member of the diverse crowd seemed very happy with their decision to go Tutti Frutti!

The best froyo place in Durham...and dare I say, the whole Triangle. They've got tons of flavors, great consistency & taste in their froyo, and it's by weight. I got a large amount of froyo for less than $3 that would've prob. cost $5 at Local Yogurt. And it's froyo that tastes like froyo, not like pathetic ice cream wannabes (aka: Yogurt Pump in CH). Yes, there is a bottleneck at times near the toppings bar, they need to work on a better layout for that. You also have to go up to the front and ask from sample cups. However, great customer service and they regularly update their FB page with the flavors available. I hear they even have taro, which I'm excited about trying. I just wish their location was more central. I hate having to drive somewhere to get froyo and I have absolutely no reason to be in that Shannon Plaza neighborhood otherwise.

this place is amazing and i would have given a better review, but i brought in my children today to get some frozen yogurt and the worker maria gave us so much attitude and ruined our day. As soon as we left my youngest child started crying because of how rude she was. Complete bad service and looks pissed all the time, she shouldn't be working she stayed in the back room when there was a huge line and took forever to come out.

I've only lived in Durham for two weeks, but I've already visited Tutti Frutti three times. It's absolutely delicious. They have a wide variety of flavors (from vanilla to passion fruit to red velvet cake) and a ton of different toppings to choose from. It's almost overwhelming. As a few other people have mentioned in their reviews, there can be a bit of a wait for toppings, especially when large groups with lots of kids come in. I've never had to wait very long to pay, though. The staff are always very friendly, even when it is rather busy. One of my favorite things about Tutti Frutti is that you pay by the ounce. That means your trip can be fairly inexpensive, and it's a great place to go if you just want a little something. Both my fiance and I can get a satisfying amount of frozen yogurt and only pay around $5 or $6 for the two of us. While it is a little bit strange that the only two cup sizes are both very large, it isn't too difficult to only get what you want. Overall, with the large variety of flavors and toppings (you can even mix flavors if you want), there's something here for everyone. I'll definitely be taking any out-of-towners here when they come to visit!

In my mind, two things set Tutti Frutti apart from the other froyo shops in Durham/CH/Raleigh: -Ghirardelli chocolate syrup! Why don't all places have this?! -Popping pomegranate (I think was the flavor) boba. The little golden orbs I noticed in the toppings section. I piled these babies up, expecting the chewy tapioca balls like the ones I get in my drinks, but got something much more fun. The explode juice! I loved it, my friend didn't. Hahaha...

This was my first time getting ice cream/froyo in this way, so for those like me I'll explain: There's a wall lined with dispensers of more than a dozen flavors of froyo. You fill your own cup w/ yogurt and then take it to a topping station and load it up w/ fruit, candy, sauces, etc. as you see fit. You then take your creation to the register to weigh it, and the current price is 39 cents/oz. My experience may have been biased by the fact that it was grand opening and I paid a dollar(!) for my mound of ice cream, but I had blueberry and raspberry yogurt and it was delish--nice and tart. I tasted a few of the other non-fruit flavors and those were really good as well. Great selection of good quality toppings. Interior decor goes for the hip, modern look and is kind of a fun place to sit around with friends and eat. NOTE: when we went, it seemed like they might be a little short on seating (about two per table which was a little awkward for our group of four). For the mound of dessert that one person in my party had piled into her cup, I would expect to pay at least $6 or $7 dollars at a place like Coldstone. Based on her cup's weight, it would cost $3.70 on a normal day. Good value in my bookI. f you're a fan of Local Yogurt, or even if you're not, I would recommend you try it out.

My boyfriend and I came here for boba at purple monkey because we're regulars there and love the boba. But when we got there, it was closed. Online said they were open til 8 but it was 740. Disappointed, we had to come up with a different plan... Not going to lie, we were slightly hesitant to come here because we're very critical about chain places' boba. It was amazing! I got my froyo fix and he got his boba tea fix all in the same place! We love the service, cleanliness, and the variety! We'll definitely be coming back to this one if we're in Durham and be on the lookout for other locations near us

I tried tutti frutti on their opening day (and a couple days after) and it far exceed my expectations. With so many froyo chains opening up, I was very impressed with how tutti frutti set themselves apart. When you walk in, you are greeted with a very clean and trendy shop and the smell of yogurt is a real delight to the senses. Seeing all the different flavors they have is also a real bonus. One of the biggest thing I noticed about this shop compared to others is that their yogurt last longer. By this, I mean, by the time I am at the end of my cup, I don't have a puddle of melted yogurt water. So I get exactly what I paid for. I've noticed with other chains their yogurt isn't as firm, which causes your yogurt to melt a lot quicker, so really you only get to eat about 3/4 of what you pumped, which really just sucks. There's a wide range of toppings offered from your usual fresh fruit, candies, chocolate sauces, cereal, etc. And then you get these not so normal toppings which are just incredible to try out! They have mochi balls which are chewy and sweet, but not too sweet like marshmellows. And several different 'popping bobas' which are filled with exotic flavors like passion fruit and lycee. And did I mention the chocolate sauce they have is the Ghirardelli kind?? Its nice to see stores willing to offer their customers the nicer stuff instead of offering the cheap stuff just to make a profit. The staff is also really friendly and helpful if this is your first time around the self-serve yogurt world. They are constantly cleaning the tables and floors, which really appealed to my germaphobe husband! This shop really did go all out to make sure they offer the best to their customer and definitely won me over!

Ok, ok I don't do the chain stores... but on a hot Sunday afternoon it's the perfect place to drop by. With nearly a dozen flavored frozen yogurts from tempting peanut butter, nutella, cheesecake to fruity strawberry and pinapple- you could have a mad combo of just the yogurts alone. The topping run wild from crushed candy bars to cereals to nuts and even mochi (rice) of course the option to drown it in a chocolate or caramel syrup. It's all by weight, so add on carefully. A modest 16 oz can run around $3.50. Plenty of seating on the outside benches and plenty of easy parking the the strip mall parking lot. The best part is it's all self control (or could be your vice...)

My wife and I love this spot. A huge variety of flavors that rotates regularly in and out of the dispensers, and keeps Tutti Frutti from getting boring. All those flavors, loads of toppings and a decent price ($0.44/ounce) add up to an all around good experience. Their orange sorbet is the perfect answer to a humid, Carolina summer day. Highly recommended.

Something I don't think the average frozen yogurt/soft-serve customer realizes is that those machines that dispense your favorite treat are VERY expensive to buy and especially to maintain. Whoever owns that business put a LOT of money into it. I've never seen a place with that many choices in flavors and toppings! My favorite creation is cookies n cream, peanutbutter and chocolate icecreams with coconut, chopped andes mints and reeses pieces- all for about $3.50!!! Friendly staff, great location and reasonably priced. You can't ask for more from a frozen yogurt joint! Hope those machines stay runnin!

This is my go-to froyo place in Durham! I am not new to frozen yogurt, but this was my first self-serve frozen yogurt experience, and it changed my life. There are dozens of flavors including the standard vanilla and chocolate, as well as a variety of rotating flavors from nutella and pistachio to taro and acai. I keep track of their flavors of the day on Facebook, and recently learned that you can actually REQUEST your favorite flavor(s) on their Facebook page, and they'll often be able to accommodate you. I haven't tried it yet myself since I tend to go at the spur of the moment. In addition to the amazing flavor selection, they offer more toppings than any place I have ever been to. They include standard fare like fruit and candy, but also things like different cereals, mochi and boba balls. The fruit has some sugar added, and I'm pretty sure the baked goods are defrosted, but I have yet to be disappointed. Don't forget to ask them for "sample cups" when you go in if you aren't sure which flavors you want. They usually hand them out two at a time, but don't mind giving you more if you need them. The cup you pick up at the front of the store to fill up comes in large and extra large (or big trough/little trough), but you can ask for a smaller "child" size at the register. I will not reveal how many times I have benefited from the the "buy $20 worth of froyo and get a $4 credit towards your next purchase", but I will say it's a good deal -- especially if you tend to go with more than one person! (Yes, it's better than Sweet Frog and better/cheaper than Local Yogurt.)

I love this place! I enjoy how you find flavors where you can't find from other Fro- Yo stores. The store was nice to go inside. I never had any troubles going there. Their toppings not bad either they have neat toppings. What else neat about this place if you know you coming over tomorrow. You want a certain flavors you can make a special request the day before.

Pro: Variety of flavors. Con: I can't say that they're all very delicious, and I'm not sure why they even bother with some of them. They range from "good" to "tastes like cough syrup". Pro: Free samples! Con: The guilty feeling after you sample a bunch, don't really like it, and leave without buying anything. Pro: Clean and tidy looking. Con: The knowledge that little kids stick their fingers in soft serve dispensers.

In a word, average. There are better options, very close by, and the yogurt itself is nothing to drool over. Self serve is a nice option, but causes havoc in the store during busy times. After a recommendation from a friend I visited their Shannon Rd. location and immediately was annoyed by: a) cup sizes, 16oz or 20oz ONLY - you pay by weight, but if you can put less than 4oz in a 16oz cup I commend you for dispensing prowess and self control. b) icy yogurt - not the creamy goodness I've come to expect from great frozen treats in Durham, not even close c) poor customer management - the other customers were all over the place, and if you just want plain, you end up waiting in a line for toppings while everyone else is pondering their flavor choices. d) sample cups only available up front - what's the point in sampling if you have to wait in line to get to an employee to ask for a cup? Oh, and don't re-use the cups, they will call you out on it. Yes yes I am a frozen yogurt/ice cream/custard snob, but I expect for an establishment to focus on one food only, that both the quality and service be superb. Tutti Frutti: poor choice of name, and not worth it when there are far better stores.

Came by and tried their jasmine green bubble tea and it was great! One of the few bubble tea places in Durham that have chewy tapioca balls. Would come again.

Another froyo spot I base froyo places on toppings, this place did not have that great a selection. So decent experience bit not exceptional toppings.
