Yo-Chi smoked pecan & butterscotch tart
Now that we’ve covered the creative new froyo flavors that we found, we also need to share our list of creative froyo toppings. Two froyo shops, Top It Yogurt Shoppe in Snohomish, WA, US, and Yo-Chi in Australia, made the list in 2024 and 2025. Six countries are represented and the Philippines led the way with three of the ten creative toppings. Seven of the ten toppings come from Asia.

FREO, which has three branches in Sydney, Australia, introduced dark chocolate croissant crumble last September. It’s not surprising that FREO also made our 2025 list of creative froyo flavors, with Banana, Salted Caramel, & White Miso froyo. The frozen atelier is a premium self-serve froyo, made with 100% Australian pot set yoghurt, and gelato experience. It is the only froyo business to make both the creative froyo flavors and creative froyo toppings lists in 2025.

Homemade Biscoff/Speculoos cookies, Top It Yogurt Shoppe, Snohomish, WA, United States, IG @topityogurtshoppe
Ken, the owner of Top It Yogurt Shoppe in Snohomish, Washington, makes many of the toppings the shop carries because the homemade toppings are made with better ingredients and they taste better.

In 2024, Top It Yogurt Shoppe made our list of creative froyo toppings with housemade popping boba.
