The frozen yogurt craze is in full effect in Kingston since the opening of Tutti Frutti in Loshusan Plaza in May. And thanks to Peter and Phillip Azar, owners of the franchise, children and adults alike have been enjoying the new and novel “ice cream shop” concept. There has been a consistent influx of people at all hours of the day (yogurt for lunch anyone?) and if you dare to venture out on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night, then you may mistake it for one of the hottest clubs in Kingston. Why? Because the line is at least 20 people strong, waiting for the security to give them permission to enter. People obviously think that it’s worth the wait, possibly because they offer 60 different flavours of yogurt (a choice of 12 flavour combinations at one time) including dairy-free, sugar-free and soy, and more than 30 different toppings to choose from. The beauty of a visit to Tutti Frutti is that the entire experience is customizable. You chose the flavour or flavours of yogurt of your liking, and then add one, none or all of the toppings that you desire, and then your cup is weighed for pricing. So whether you are craving a bite or a bucket of your favourite flavours, it doesn’t matter because there is something for everyone. Peter Azar tells us more. 21
