    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!!

    LOVE this place!! I have had self-serve yogurt in many cities across the US, and this is one of the best yogurt places I've ever been to. My husband thinks I'm an ice cream snob, so I guess I have some clout! Everytime I walk into the Pump House, it's clean, stocked, and packed with kids, families, and couples coming from dinner nearby or a movie. We live about 15 minutes away, and I made my husband (he was happy to join) drive me here on a Friday night to quench my yogurt craving! The best part is that they have small paper tasting cups, so that you can try a few flavors before you load up your bowl. I usually taste about 3 yogurts before I make my important decision. They have 14 different flavors with an additional 7 flavors if you swirl 2 together. The yogurt is very creamy and has cultures in it (think good for your GI tract)! Some places have odd flavors that are icy, but these are not! They have TONS of toppings in the self serve buffet, about 96 actually --anything from candy to cereal to the usual nuts, cherries, and fruit. They have an area in the back of the store with the sauces (think hot fudge, caramel, strawberry, butterscotch, etc) and whipped cream!!! I always get extra yogurt cause my husband claims he doesn't want any, but ends up eating half of mine! So we end up spending about $6-6.50 for the both of us. This go around, we got a swirl of white chocolate mousse (my favorite flavor!), peanut butter, mocha, and oreo/mint mix! I topped it off with 2 cherries, some roasted pecans, and fresh whipped cream! They didn't have gummy bears! We sat on one of the two bench swings that are next to the windows. There are also a few tables with chairs on one side of the topping buffet as well as some high stools near the swings. The staff is always nice, and they showed me how to sign up for a belly card that gives me 5 points every time I go! I'm sure that I'll be racking up points here!

They have chocolates, bon bons, gelato, coffee drinks, and more. We ordered two of the cookie sandwiches, which we were told are made daily by a local pastry chef. The blueberry cookie was my favorite - it was soft and full of blueberries. The passionfruit one wasn't as flavorful. The buttercream frosting was super sweet, so we probably could have split one and been happy. I love that they have gelato flights! I didn't see any pricing posted for the treats when we visited, but the total was just over $10 for the two cookie sandwiches. They are handmade (vs. frozen and shipped in) so that makes sense. The employee helping us was super sweet and friendly, which I appreciated. The space is cute with ample seating to enjoy your treats, and they have an Instagrammable photo wall. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, so I don't see myself coming here too often, but it's a nice spot for a date or dessert.
