Greer’s Best Buys:

New fro-yo shop opens at The Camp

June 26, 2008|By GREER WYLDER

The Camp in Costa Mesa just opened milk+honey, a little sanctuary for all things frozen and sweet. Owner Jee Shin offers tasty shaved ice, tart frozen yogurt, blended drinks and high-quality organic coffees and teas.

The shaved ice is a Japanese version called kakigori, a mixture of milk and honey on a bed of flaky shaved ice with your choice of six flavors ranging from mango to passion fruit ($3.75 to $4.75).

The frozen yogurt tastes similar to a Pinkberry-type tart yogurt, only this one is less creamy and more flavor comes through from the natural yogurt. And a seasonal flavor debuts soon ($3.50 to $4.25). Customize your yogurt with 24 toppings to choose from including fresh fruits, gummy bears, sweet red azuki beans, carob chips and more.

The blended drinks are a must: green tea latte cooler, vanilla chi cooler, orange creamsicle, açai berry energizer and more ($3.95 to $4.95). Try a watermelon lemonade blended fresh every day.

Milk+honey is open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday at 2981 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa. For more information, call (714) 708-0092 or visit www.milkandhoneyshop.com.

Self-serve fro-yo

Tutti Frutti, another frozen sweet shop, recently opened on Balboa Island. It specializes in self-serve frozen yogurt, smoothies and Hawaiian shaved ice.

Tutti Frutti allows you to choose your own size of yogurt — just two cups available. It offers a dozen yogurt flavors: tart and regular flavors.

Choose from coconut, death by chocolate, peanut butter, mango, grapefruit, big kahuna coffee and green tea.

Toppings are self-serve too — 30 choices! The shaved ice comes in 10 flavors that include root beer, bubble gum, piña colada, banana, watermelon and grape.

Tutti Frutti is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily at 304 Marine Ave. on Balboa Island. For more information, call (949) 723-0223 or visit www.tfyogurt.com.
