    Toppings! Plentiful
    Letitia J.

    The Pump House is a Michigan Frozen Yogurt place with their 4 locations being in Knapps Corner, Studio Park (downtown GR), Grand Haven, and Rockford. Out of all the froyo places I have been to in Grand Rapids, this would probably be the best one. The froyo was very creamy, and I loved that they had at least a couple non-dairy options. The toppings options were plentiful - nuts, fruits, candy, crackers, mochi, cheesecake bites, etc. Just think of the Pump House as a standard froyo place with more options. The ambience was fun, nothing too special, but it had a fun vibe to it. We went on a Friday night and it was starting to get slightly crowded, but not overly so. The service was good! People working there were super friendly and willing to answer any questions, and were happy to give us a couple of little sample cups.

    Ice cream: good ice cream shop for frozen yogurt with lots of toppings! It is definitely more creamy than fresh:) Location: right next to studio park cinema so it's nice for grabbing a quick ice cream before or after your movie!

    My husband doesn't know you can buy gummy bears from the store...

    I love it here! My favorite sweet treat place. Even when they are busy you can get in and out if you desire. They always have fantastic flavors and a full choice menu. We always get the frozen yogurt but I'm sure the hand dipped ice cream is great too. The toppings bar is well stocked with all of the favorites except they don't have toasted coconut on there anymore which is a super bummer for me. It can be loud given the location, size and amount of foot traffic coming through but you can always sit outside when it's nice. We will continue to stop in here for an icy treat.

    It's all about the toppings! I've never seen puppy chow as an option!!

    I have no idea how I forgot to review this place previously but HOLY FROYO! I have never seen so many options of frozen yogurt AND toppings! I should have counted the toppings but there had to be at least 30 options. I remember to start you could just do a normal dish, or upgrade to a waffle dish, or if you're a real baller you could go with a molten chocolate cake or warm cookie as your base (SERIOUSLY?!) They you have to pick your froyo flavor. 21 options to choose from! Great combo flavors too. I think I went with a salted caramel pretzel and it was amazing!! Then the toppings, I mean, you could probably go broke with all the different options. Crazy stuff that I have never seen before like gummy pigs...LOL! I don't like gummy stuff in my froyo so I opted for more traditional toppings like frosted animal crackers, puppy chow, waffle cone pieces, cookie dough and of course, sprinkles! You pay by weight, so keep that in mind when you are picking from the vast amount of toppings! Or you could just go to the freezer case and get pre-packaged froyo, take it home and add your own toppings (which isn't as fun, but cheaper). All together, this is THE BEST frozen yogurt shop I have been to and I will be returning soon!

    Yes, there is a little fro-yo under all that fruit!

    I still love this place. Tons of options for self-serve frozen yogurt and literally dozens of options for toppings. You can add as much of whatever you want and mix it up any way you desire, then just weigh it. They have now added a decent array of actual ice cream for those that don't care for the froyo (my oldest loves mint chocolate chip and will always go for that if given the choice.) This location is consistently clean, the toppings fresh and well-stocked and the staff are consistently friendly. A great place to bring the kids for a treat! The only downside is that you do have to exercise some restraint or you will be the one getting super-sized.

    I've been to a few self-serve frozen yogurt spots (usually places like Yogurtland) but this self-serve frozen yogurt place is awesome and it probably tops them all. They have much more options (candy / cookie / nut / fruit toppings and several sauces) and they kept it well stocked, neat, clean and fresh, the peanut butter cups are nicely cut, rather than a big mushy mess like at some places that I've been to and the fruit is nicely cut and fresh. The yogurt was firm and not watered down like at some yogurt places I've been to. I alsol enjoyed the service. The minute you walk in you are greeted with a nice welcome. When you are ready to check out the cashier is very friendly. I look forward to coming back.

    Swing with ice cream

    Great yogurt. If you've been to a number of these new frozen yogurt places, you will be very pleased when you see the number of flavors they have on tap. Samples are self-serve (the way they should be) and everything I tried tastes great. Also, they've got two huge porch swings inside overlooking the street. It's great, get great yogurt and people watch in a swing for the next 30 minutes. Wonderful!!!

    Tons of toppings!!

Not Cold Stone, but a different company from back in the early 2000s. Nate and I were watching this very episode when I learned he'd never been to Cold Stone! I don't know how, because he loves his ice cream. I'm more of a savory snack type person but I knew he'd love it, so we stopped in to get some ice cream. Even though it was the depths of winter, I really wanted him to experience this place. Because you can create your own mix of whatever your heart desires, it can be a little overwhelming at first. Thankfully they have a menu of their own signature creations that can help with decision making. I got the cheesecake fantasy: cheesecake ice cream with graham cracker pie crust, blueberries, and strawberries mixed in. You can get your ice cream in a cup, cone, or waffle bowl, but I just went with a cup. Nate went for the mint mint chocolate chocolate chip: mint ice cream with chocolate chips, brownie, and fudge mixed in. We both got the "like it" (small) size but my scoop looked much bigger than his, unfortunately. You can also get a pint, quart, or triple pint to take home if there's a flavor you really love. Both choices were delicious, although I actually preferred the mint chocolate chip with the fudge and brownies. The fruit in mine was frozen, which makes sense, I just didn't love that texture. I would go back again and try a different creation. The employees working were all kind and polite, although it was a little chaotic with no clear waiting lines. When you go to pay, there's no designated area, they just have you sign your credit card slip on top of the ice cream counter glass which can be a little tricky if you're wrangling multiple orders. I'd come back for a sweet treat every once in a while!

The ice cream tasted more like salted caramel but it was still soooo good with all the mix ins. We actually ordered it with Oreo bits instead of almonds but they got that part mixed up. I think it might've made it better tho.

Since I'm simple and usually get a standard twist cone with sprinkles, I'm easy to please. For me, the soft serve has been somewhat inconsistent; sometimes it's great and sometimes its really soft and has melted quickly which made it a race to eat! I've also had some random texture issues with some flurries. One time my wife had the drumstick flurry and I don't know what happened, but the texture became super grainy and almost like the ice cream was curdling/separating. That for sure felt like a one-off, but is now always in my mind and makes me far less likely to get a flurry. There is almost always a line in the evening and on weekends, but it does tend to more quickly. It's a time to chit chat and gives you plenty of time to check out the extensive menu. I love that it's dog friendly so pals can bring their babes or I get to see other people's dogs! They don't have a ton of seating, but it's not generally presented as an issue. I appreciate that the seating is behind the building and provides some shade for hot summer days, but wish it wasn't right next to the dumpster.

Just so good and they put the perfect amount of toppings in it. Parking can be kinda chaotic! The parking lot is small but there's residential street parking nearby. They also have some picnic type tables at the front of back of the building to sit and enjoy your dessert.
