Tutti Frutti is the retail franchise arm of Well Spring, a manufacturer and international wholesaler of soft-serve frozen yogurt supplies. They sell under the YoFlavor brand name. They offer a "Buy Nine and Get 8 oz. Free" (8 oz. min.) card (value $3.12).
The base mix is plain, vanilla, or chocolate. Flavoring syrups are added to create all the other flavors. Mixes are available in dry powder bags and liquid in gallon jugs. Unlike liquid mixes, dry powder bags don't require refrigeration, are easier to store and handle, and cheaper to ship. It is unknown whether the local franchisee uses powder or liquid mixes (they have different cultures), but here are the details for their vanilla mixes:
Details for powder vanilla mix:
A 6 pound bag (96 oz.) (cost $30) produces 400 oz. (retail value $156) when reconstituted (5.2x cost).
Pure Crystalline Fructose, Extra Grade Sweet Whey, Maltodextrin, Natural Gums, N/A Vanilla, Yogurt Solids, Natural Flavors, Whey Protein Concentrate, and Micro-encapsulated probiotic (Lactobacillus Sporogenes).
Details for liquid vanilla mix:
The liquid mix comes in gallon jugs (145 oz.) (cost $9.65) and produces 145 oz. (retail $56.55) when served (5.86x cost). Note that this liquid is ready-to-eat; add optional flavoring and refreeze.
Water, Sugar, Nonfat Milk, Corn Syrup, Whey Maltodextrin, Milk, Natural and Artificial Vanilla, Mono- and Diglycerides, Cellulose Gum, Polysorbate 80, Carrageen, Caramel (color), Yogurt Cultures (L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, S. Thermophilus).
It is unclear whether a non-franchisee can purchase from their website (the form requests a store name).
Each of their corporate websites has different information and amusing typos.

2009-09-01 00:54:55 This place just opened! I happen to the know owner who's a very nice lady. Located in Oak Tree Plaza next to (left of) the Nugget (the north one).
Anyway, lots of selections with five separate stands, each serving two flavors! I started with the original flavor — smooth, rich and tarty. I also sampled (free) green tea, mango, and blueberry. They were all very good and had a lot richer flavor than some of the other places I've tried. I'd definitely go again :) —jobobo
2009-09-03 17:47:02 Checked this place out today. I enjoy that they have such large cups, perfect for a froyo fanatic like me. As for the froyo, this place is definitely the best self-serve yogurt place in Davis with a good selection of ingredients. —GregWebb
2009-09-12 10:02:55 i love how many flavors this place has! i can never pick just one. also, they have almost as many fresh fruit toppings as regular toppings which i like and i've been there about four times now and the fruit has been ripe everytime! every other yogurt place i go to it seems like the fruit is hard and not quite ripe. they have a little less toppings than some other places which i also like, because i usually get overwhelmed and get half a cup of toppings haha. over all my new favorite yogurt shack in davis.
2009-09-12 18:54:31 Move over Cultive! Davis is now equipped with tarty froyo store that serves by the ounces. Tutti Frutti yogurt is definitely my new favorite place. It has mostly the tarty fruit flavors with exception of chocolate and vanilla. Although I hope the green tea, mango or the peach (so I can compare with cultive's version) would be in rotation but I absolutely love the pomegranate flavor that was available. Their passionfruit and kiwi tastes wonderful as well. I highly recommended this place to tarty yogurt lovers. I think its cheaper than Cultive because I got a TON yogurt and fruit toppings and it costs less than $4. In fact, my BF and I got two full cups for $7.01.
Location was a little tricky. It's right next to the Nugget on the left side near the entrance. —KimN.

2009-09-19 17:28:01 While taste is certainly subjective, and the first reviews differ from mine, I'm going to admit not liking any of the flavors I tasted. I tried taro, plain, and my son's strawberry. All 3 seemed artificial, and the plain wasn't very tart. That may be a good thing to some palates. —NoelBruening
2009-10-09 12:25:00 I like this place. When I went they had a buy-1-get-1-free thing going on so my group of friends and I got a nice deal. They have twice the variety of flavors compared to other froyo stores in Davis, which is nice. Their toppings are the usual, but I like fruit flavored jellies that they have. —BenLee
