Brain Freeze Frozen Yogurt

I truly wish this place would carry more than one non dairy selection of yogurt. Besides that, the flavors are awesome for people who can eat normal dairy. The staff is friendly the majority of the time. The place is clean and big enough to move around in to get your yogurt.

This is a delightful spot with delicious yogurt and even better customer service.
I went there yesterday (Tuesday) with my friend and our kids. They are fun-​loving toddlers, who got into some mischief in the rest room that resulted in soapy water on the floor. Jessica, the staffer on duty, would not even let me clean up after my child’s mess. She did it herself, cheerfully. When the two kids made a fort out of chairs, she just laughed, and said she didn’t mind. Even when they messed up the napkins.
In sum, this yogurt is tasty, and they have GREAT customer service.
Thank you Jessica for taking such great care of us, and for being so patient with the young-​uns.

Visited for the first time today, loved it! Had a low fat yogurt and the kids loved being able to pick whatever they wanted. It’s very clean inside and the owner is very nice. Prices are very reasonable and we will definitely be back, we just moved to town and we found our new frozen yogurt spot!

Love this place! We go there for yogurt at least once (or twice) a week! Best tasting froyo around!!! Great selection of toppings & the employees always greet you when you walk in! And they have «guess the weight» Wednesdays. If you guess what it weighs, you get your yogurt for free. Fun trying :)

I definitely prefer this place over the Swirl Time across the street from SSU. Only downside is that it’s more of a drive if you live in Rohnert Park. This place has a number of tart flavors to choose from with a good selection of toppings — fruit, candy, etc. The price is also much more reasonable compared to Swirl Time. Love going here when I’m in the area!

Great choices and yogurt was good. No problems with melting like others have stated. Great alternative to the all glorious Yogurt World here in ptown.

Either the staff is poorly trained or Brain Freeze management is trying to cut corners. After purchasing 10 yogurts I purchased the 11^th and attempted to pay with my completed card. Since my wife was also purchasing one at $ 1.25, the kid behind the counter charged me full price for my free one at $ 2.75 and used my wife’s purchase for the free one. When I protested that mine was under the purchase limit of $ 3.00 and that I gave him the card for my purchase he stated emphatically that his management had told him to only honor the lower priced purchased.
Clearly, arguing with the kid was going to get me nowhere. I believe that he misunderstood his manager and confused his instructions with the 2 for 1 coupon purchase conditions where the cheaper of the tow is free.
Brain Freeze of Petaluma, you owe me $ 1.50

The BEST Frozen Yogurt I have ever eaten, and believe me, I eat a ton of frozen yogurt. Great staff, cute patio area, and you can sample any flavor to make sure you like it before ordering! The toppings are unique and yummy and I can’t resist mixing 3 or more to satisfy my chocolate craving! If you ever want the best frozen yogurt in Petaluma, swing by Brain Freeze and see for yourself!

Good frozen yogurt with plenty of toppings to choose from. Not much seating but plenty of outdoor seating when it’s work enough. Always have the basic flavors with 4 – 5 flavors changing on a regular basis but they let you sample flavors for free. Really my review can be summed up in five words, LIQUID PEANUT BUTTER OH YEAH!

What could be wrong with a place that allows you to taste everything in their store? How could people be surprised how their yogurt tastes when they have taster cups right on the table. Come on people — if you want to know how something tastes. use the cups and grab a taste first!
Having said that, I love this place. I like not having to order my yogurt and have someone else make it. I like the toppings, the flavors, the ugly green walls, the too tall black tables, and the funky chairs. It all works for me. Hey — it is the flavor I want with the toppings I want all for under 4 bucks.

The staff is nice, the paint color is a bit overwhelming and ugly, the choice for toppings are very plentiful, and the foryo is just meh. They do have good sorbet though. But this is a FROZEN YOGURT place! What makes me the most mad is I only really like original tart flavor, and EVERY froyo place I go to– THAT IS A DEFAULT FLAVOR! Like Chocolate or vanilla! But not here, they only have it every other week or something. But that is okay, they must have changed the recipe or some ingredients they were using in the original tart, because it doesn’t taste good anymore anyways. Basically, if you are in Petaluma and need a froyo fix, go to Berrychill. It’s the only worth while place so far.

i can see why this place doesn’t have many five-​star ratings. we have been here a handful of times, but tonight was just awful. the only reason why i didn’t give this place one star was b/​c my hubby’s fruit punch yogurt was decent. i agree w/​other Unilocalers that the yogurt isn’t cold enough… it’s melting by the time you get to the cash register.
the first time i came to this place was with a coupon we got in the mail for bogo. once my friend and i went to pay for our yogurts the cashier would not accept our coupon because she had already weighed mine and rung me up. she would not let me ring my friend’s yogurt up with mine. she made us pay for both even though we were holding a coupon for a free one.
strike two and three tonight… tonight i ordered my regular flavor and after we paid for it and took it home, we realized it tasted strange. we called to let ask if they changed yogurt, and if not, to them know something was wrong with tonight’s batch. the employee was short and rude, basically asking me «what do you expect me to do about it?». i said she should probably go taste it so other customers don’t have the same problem… no offer for replacement… no apology. sad. hope management knows how the employees are treating their customers.

I’ve recently starting go here after discovered how delicious and cheap frozen yogurt can be. They have a yummy peanut butter flavor and that with their hot fudge machine, some peanut butter cups and whipped cream… MMMMMMMM.
I like this place better than some of the other one’s I have gone to specifically for the whipped cream can and the actual real hot fudge. I see they have coupons all the time in the «val-pak’s» you get in the mail too so that’s cool. Maybe one day I’ll actually use one!

We love going here. They always have many flavors to choose from, the flavors are changed frequently so it’s always interesting. Tasting is free and self-​serve, and there are many, many different toppings available including fresh fruit.
Some people complain the yogurt is not cold enough. Hey, frozen yogurt is soft — not hard frozen — so don’t plan to take it far. This stuff is «eat in» or «eat right away.»
Keep it small and the price is reasonable. A wonderful treat.

GONE TO THE DOGS
My first visit to Brain Freeze and found it unexciting, and on the disgusting side.
First it was a real turn-​off to see them allow dogs into the store. I have nothing against dogs, but agree with the health codes that dogs and food establishments don’t belong together. Dander, slopper, shedding, ticks /​fleas,. .. . It was a real shock and disappointment when the very young staff said the policy was okay to bring in pets as long as you held them. Gross, tail wagging over toppings, slopper over counters, just at the right counter height when held in the arms — gross. I’m so glad I got my stuff before the dog took its tour. BTW staff, only «working dogs» are allowed into food establishments, in uniform, and they walk themselves.
Tasted most the flavors available that day and found most to be uninteresting or off. Stuck with vanilla which was nice and firm /​cold.
Good selection of toppings and the dispensers against the back wall was cool looking. However, getting them to dispense was a mess. It broadcasted toppings all over, with only a little actually landing inside the cup, most landed all over the counter. What a waste. Impressed that the staff monitors that counter and quickly cleaned it up.
Hated the puke green walls. What were they thinking?
Overall, think I’ll stick to someplace more sanitary.

It’s about time that Petaluma got itself a self-​serve frozen yogurt place. Unfortunately, despite the awesomeness of the choose your amount/​add your own toppings deal, this place is lacking something. Maybe it’s the dead atmosphere or the grumblyness of the high school employees, but it didn’t feel especially like a place I’d want to hang out and eat my fro-​yo at, so I went with the to-​go option. Plus points, however, for a non-​dairy flavour, even though it still can’t hold a candle to Jesus Yogurt.

Well, my bitch before was the very very soft yogurt. I read a couple of the recent reviews saying they have new machines, so we had to go check them out. Way better!

this new brain freeze location is bigger than a bread box (rohnert park)
though it uses the same minisized froyo servers. it’s next to a dry cleaner. besides the green walls and tan sides, there is no décor. there is some seating within and outside brain freeze.
froyo availability:
–irish mint
–very berry: berry taste, icy
–tart
–peanut butter: creamy, smooth, subtle taste
–strawberry:subtle
–chocolate
–2 not working
pricing: self serve .40 cents/​ounce. 20 dry toppings in individual silos on wall, 5 dry toppings in trays, 5 fruit toppings, some canned, in trays. chewy moch also present, syrups also in the house.
frodrips
–smaller electro freeze (large spout) units probably make it harder for the froyo to get cold.
–probably yocream froyo, same as rohnert park
–pricing equivalent to traditional full serve yocream places.
–friendly service but then there was no one here.
–froyo lacks full flavors, it’s either tart, bland, or sugary.

I love the idea of this place… but the frozen yogurt did anything but freeze my brain… it melted before it hit the scale to be weighed… yes it tastes good, and the toppings are fun… but it was not frozen enough…
and maybe some more seating would be nice…

Awsome self serve frozen yogurt shop!
They have 8 different flavors including 2 sugar free and a non dairy! So many choices of toppings! Great prices! Love that they have moochi and fresh fruit!!! And tart!!! Mmmm
