Yogurt Haven Expands to North Hollywood Area

Yogurt Haven, the make-it-yourself ice cream and froyo store on Colorado Boulevard, has opened a new store in the North Hollywood area.

The store opened at 12510 Vanowen St. on the Valley Glen/North Hollywood border in late 2011, according to North Hollywood-Toluca Lake Patch, and, like the parent store in Eagle Rock, offers 57 flavors that continually rotate throughout the year.

Manager Nick Bautista told Eagle Rock Patch that the store gets its ice cream and froyo from a distributor named YoCream, which sends flavors every Wednesday that are either in season or popular among customers. "We also go by our own customers' suggestions," said Bautista, adding: "We always try to have it very interactive with our customer base."

Last November, Yogurt Haven’s Eagle Rock location was among 10 finalists in the “Ice Cream and FroYo Shops” category by Red Tricycle, an online family site that says it offers a variety of “must-have” recommendations for “hip people who happen to be parents too.”

In addition, the parent store has a four-star average on Yelp out of 91 reviews and took part in The Tap Project, a United Nations Children’s Fund to bring clean water and sanitation to children and their families around the world.
