Cultivé Frozen Yogurt

Wide variety of frozen yogurt choices, but an even wider variety of toppings choices. From chocolates to fruits to cereals. You name it, they probably have it. They also leave the sample cups out at the cashier counter so you can walk in and grab a sample or two or five, right away. They change their flavors pretty frequently, but you can never go wrong with their original (euro) tart.

There a million frozen yogurt places but I really like this one. They offer a reasonable number of flavors and toppings. Their staff makes sure everything is clean and orderly. I really hate it when toppings get all mixed up. Price is a little lower than most and they offer a free 8oz yogurt on your birthday.
The best thing about this place is every so often they offer dole whip pineapple which is my ABSOLUTE fave! They also have the white mochi which I prefer over the artificially colored version. Oh and their sauce bottles aren’t sticky and drippy.

I thought I previously reviewed Cultive, but if I did the review disappeared into the Unilocal black hole. Went here the day before my birthday for a late night sweet treat (Note: free 8oz yogurt on your birthday. I should have waited a day!). Flavor varieties were OK, consistency a little runny. Toppings well stocked and fruit looked and tasted fresh. Price was fine, especially since I got a 10% student discount. Service was lack-​luster, to put it kindly. I asked for sample cups and got a lackadaisical response that they were on the counter. My next question about toppings clearly annoyed the employee. While we ate our froyo, another co-​worker came back with sandwiches which they ate behind the counter. Smelling tuna or chicken or whatever it was put me off my yogurt. Won’t rush back. I wasn’t even tempted to return for my birthday freebie.

Hands down best Frozen Yogurt shop in Davis and maybe that I’ve ever been to. Not only was the yogurt and topping selection phenomenal, everything tasted amazing. On top of all that the fun energetic atmosphere you feel when you enter the store makes it overall a wonderful visit.
Definitely going to have to increase my weekly yogurt intake. Coming back soon! Cultive just gained a loyal customer today.

Omigosh, what a great find in Davis! Located right across the street from two other outstanding ice cream/​froyo stores, holding its own with no problem. Fun self serve with huge variety of toppings, great flavors. I had green apple tart, thin mint chocolate, and red velvet cake. Yummy chewy brownie bits and fresh nuts, nonpareil minis with sprinkles – heaven! Planned to take half home but it was so delicious I couldn’t stop and ate the whole thing. Will be back often.

This is your right-​around-​the-​corner typical froyo place.
TIP #1: Come on your birthday, you get a free froyo!
Tip #2: Show your student ID and get 10% off
TIP #3: If you get those Green machine coupon books, there’s a BOGO free in there somewhere, so bring a friend!
TIP #4: If you’re getting it to-​go, this place offers styrofoam containers! It’s more insulated so your froyo won’t melt as fast.
My favorite flavor is their pineapple dole whip, but that one is one that in interchanged with other flavors weekly, so watch out for it! Of course it cannot compare to original pineapple dole whip, the flavor here is still delicious!
If not, you definitely cannot go wrong with original tart.

I like the variety of froyo flavors here and there are plenty of toppings!

Y’all need a Yogurtland and some more interesting flavors all up in here. Watchu mean the closest one is 18 miles away damm?
Peach tart more tart the OG tart. For shame dawgz.

Not my favorite froyo place– but its definitely my favorite in Davis. The place is so inviting, with its bright colors and friendly staff. They usually have about 8 or so flavors available, rotating them weekly. But if I don’t like any of the new flavors they circulate in, I know I can always fall back on original tart, which is always a good one. They have plenty of toppings to choose from, and the staff does well to constantly restock and keep the area tidy.

Good flavor options. Lots of toppings. Clean, etc. Everything you’d want.
My only thing is… their sign for the pricing is amusing in its blatant error. They’re not REALLY charging less than half a cent per ounce. They should probably fix that… haha

I like less sweet flavors, and Cultive always has my back. Always down for tart, euro tart, pomegranate tart, mango tart, green tea, and taro. Anything tart, really, and Cultive has the best tart out of all the ones I’ve tried nearby.
Nice atmosphere and the outside seating is prime location to see what, if anything, is happening in downtown Davis.
I really like the management and staff as well. If it’s slow, you can end up having a great and unexpected conversation.

They change their flavors every few weeks so you can try a variety of different things over time.
–all of their sorbets are REALLY good.
–green tea is the best here
–did I mention they have pineapple dole whip?!
Come here for great flavors and chill workers (David and Marvin are great!!)

I came in for my first frozen yogurt ever and ordered the taro with mochi chunks and strawberry. I liked it and will return soon for more. I sampled birthday cake and liked it too.

Affordable, tasty, various options!
Great option for frozen yogurt in Davis. Warning, some of their flavor are a bit too sweet for my taste.
Original tart always gets the job done.

My all time favorite froyo place in Davis is Pinkberry. Wanted to try this place out.
It might be a bit difficult trying to find parking in the evening on the streets but you can try around the parking lots near by. Cultive is located next to Peets. I’ve only been here once and it was a nice experience. I tried the taro and honeydew flavor (you can get the sample cup by the cashier). They are so good! Yum! It is self-​serve. Once you dispense your desired amount of froyo, you can add your toppings. I got mochi, graham cracker crumbs, almond, blueberry and captain crunch. Anything you want! The cashier college student was really chill too.

So many toppings! The yogurt is delicious. They usually have at least 8 different flavors. They’re soooo cheap. 2 of us had yogurt and it came out to $ 2.43 with my student I.D.

This is the best frozen yogurt I’ve eaten in awhile. I had the peanut butter with chocolate ate chips and toasted cocunut. The ingredients were fresh and resonably priced. They charge by the total weight of the yogurt plus toppings. It was super duper creamy, didn’t taste healthy at all. Just be careful with parking, the city of davis is brutal with their parking restrictions.

This froyo spot has to be sent from heaven… seriously.
As soon as I saw the flavor listing outside of the store, I knew it was meant to be. Taro? Pomegranate tart? NO SUGAR ADDED PRALINE? Count me in.
Upon entering, its like a halo appeared above my head. This spot has to be where angels reside!
What stood out to me:
–fun-​fetti CAKE BITES! Seriously?! No other froyo spot in the greater Sacramento area has these! Quite the surprise!
–not only cheesecake bites, but KEY LIME cheesecake bites!
–fresh reeses cups
–plethora of sauces
No joke, this spot was so good, I came back and got a second one on the same day. The lady working was super nice, I told her I was getting another one to go… so she offered me a bag and a lid. No thanks, because I definitely sat outside and ate it! LOL! I wish this place was closer to where I live, but I will most definitely be back. ASAP.

Best yogurt place in Davis.
They always have fun flavor and a great vibe.
The yogurt doesn’t start melting in .2 349 872 348 seconds or before you’ve even gotten a chance to load up on toppings & guilt… which is much appreciated.
When I do froyo, I do Cultive.

I went to Cultivé on a Friday afternoon. Staff members were in the back. I felt awkward just walking in to an empty place. There was no bell to call them but I tend to not use those because I find them quite rude even though no one is behind the counter. I got Taro, Almond, and Strawberry. My froyo was already halfway melted out of the spout. .-. Not only that but the place was BLAZING hot inside. Weird for a froyo place. I paid and it was $ 5.60 with my student discount. When I go to Yogurtland it tends to be around the $ 3 range because I only fill up my cup halfway.
I would give this place a worse review but I have to say the cashier was friendly, the froyo tasted good, and my craving for froyo was fulfilled. But next time I’ll just go to Pinkberry down the street. I just don’t like melted froyo

Cultivé gets my vote for best frozen yogurt in Davis for many reasons:
VARIETY.
Dairy free frozen yogurt? Yep. Sugar free frozen yogurt? Uh huuuh. Frozen yogurt smoothies??? Oh, but of course. They also have a great selection of toppings, from fresh fruit, to cereal and nuts, but coconut mochi is probably my faaaaave. You simply can’t find such a wide variety anywhere else.
SERVICE.
Every time I come to Cultivé I am greeted by the cashier. They are just so darn friendly. And when I ask for a sample cup they are always happy to provide a couple. I’ve had bad experiences in other frozen yogurt shops where employees seem put off by giving customers sample cups, but at Cultive they don’t hesitate to let you try their flavors before you commit to plopping it onto your cup.
QUALITY.
Their flavors are great especially their taro and green tea. Not too tart, not too sweet, just the right amount of flavor, it’s just perfect. The consistency of the yogurt can be a little soupy when you first get it off the machine, but c’mon that’s normal. Just let it run through a little before putting the yogurt in your cup to ensure some nice, thick, delicious yogurt.
So my point is, come to Cultivé to get your yogurt fix. The variety of options, outstanding service, and quality of their yogurt will have you coming back for sure.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here… and it was different from what I remembered for some reason. I did try the Pineapple Dole Whip and it was delicious! I had to get some despite always sticking with vanilla. As picky as I am about flavors, I couldn’t resist it. The assortment of topping really got me excited, there were a popping boba and mochi! I really don’t like the after taste of popping boba but the popping part’s always fun :]
The girl in the front was really nice and gave me a few sample cups when I asked for one. I guess they don’t have it out because others might just take advantage of it. She was all smiles despite the place being full of people from a club (for a fundraiser I suppose).

I have to retract my original review for Cultive. I passed recently and saw people walk out with yogurt in which the swirly kept it’s shape. That’s when I know frozen yogurt is good, when the swirly goes up sky high and doesn’t plop. You can’t do that with soupy yogurt. I learned that sometimes the first bit of the stream of yogurt may be soupy, probably because it’s near the opening that’s room temp, so maybe that’s why the samples were so runny when I tried them previously.
I went in and tried the Pineapple Dole Whip, it was really good! Reminds me of the one from Disneyland near the tikki room :) I came in wanting that, but when I tried the taro… Oh my! It’s sooooo delicious! Since Yogurtland is gone, Cultive is my new spot for frozen yogurt! I don’t like Pinkberry (expensive, flavors not that great, a little soupy) or Yoloberry (plain flavors, a little soupy) –_​–
And just an FYI, I purchased the Unilocal $ 5 for $ 10 deal. I thought you had to use it in one purchase so me and my friend ended up getting $ 10 worth of yogurt, which is a lot for two people! Turns out they would have just given me a gift card for the remaining balance. DOH!

Excellent customer service! Fun smoothie-​building service too.
I came here one evening in search of smoothies. Although the sign said that smoothies are made until 3:00 pm, the man behind the counter said he could help me with one once the line died down. I was happy to wait.
You build the smoothies yourself and then they add a yogurt base to it and blend it for you. I made a smoothie made of vanilla and mango fro yo, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and blackberries. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but it was really amazingly good! Like a pro made it or something, just the right proportions of the right flavors blended together.
The employee encouraged me to fill the blender cup as full as possible because it’s a flat rate of $ 4.50 for ~12 ounces. In my case, it came out to more like 14 ounces, and he made sure to pour the extra two ounces into a separate cup for me so that nothing was wasted. Thanks!

Satisfying all your faux french yogurt cravings.
Food: I stopped by after a somewhat disappointing meal and needed to cleanse my palate. Cultive is a self-​serve yogurt shop that runs a little bit on the creamier side (at least for the flavors I tried). I settled on a squirt of some sort of berry flavor with mochi and some black berries (
). The blend of creamy sweet and tart in this yogurt proved really satisfying. They don’t have as many flavors as Yogurtland, but it’s adequate for the location.
Atmosphere: The interior isn’t super exciting and has that healthy fresh look canonized by Pinkberry. They could stand to clean up and refill the yogurt flavors more frequently.
Service: It’s self-​serve, but they do offer tasting cups. The woman (man?) at the register was super nice.
Synopsis: A great stop for some of the creamier yogurt flavors. Could be a little cleaner.
