Fat Kid Adventure #105: Tartini (Cupertino)

A cute name, a chic layout, and a tasty selection of froyo puts Tartini on the map. Right here in downtown Cupertino, Tartini is located in the City Center square next to Le Boulanger. Competing against Yogurtland down the street and Pinkberry at Santa Row, Tartini stands out with a decent selection of 8 tarts - raspberry, mango, pom, lychee, strawberry, cappuccino, vanilla, chocolate, and original - and a ton of great toppings. My favorite combos are half lychee/half mango and half lychee/half original, topped with mochi and strawberry. Nice and simple. The swirling of the froyo is an art in itself, but I like half on each side and toppings down the middle OR layering toppings and froyo so you never run out of toppings. Now the froyo is not that creamy, icier than typical (tastes more grainy compared to Red Mango), not that tarty (compared to Red Mango or Fraiche, which is more soy-tarty) - feels great on my palate! The lychee flavor, though, is what does it for me. Sometimes I get lychee on lychee froyo, and it just makes me go Kodak moment like ly-cheese!

Anyway - definitely a gem in downtown Cupertino. Good neighborhood, frequently visited, typical froyo bar size, price by weight. Pay a visit! They also do froyo crepes!
