Proctor Frozen Yogurt

My husband and I tried this fine establishment today. Our experience lived up to the other reviews and personal recommendations. While the selection of yogurt flavors was limited, they offered enough flavors to please just about anyone. I tried the salted caramel, raspberry pomegranate, and milk chocolate flavors. My favorite was the salted caramel, which tasted like butterscotch in my opinion. It was REALLY good! I am a huge Heath/​toffee lover and would have liked to have been able to put that on my yogurt. However, that was my one and only complaint. The raspberries looked quite perky, an obvious indication that their toppings are fresh. We will definitely be back!

Cute atmosphere, great froyo, and nice staff. They have great flavors to select from and all the toppings were fresh! They even had thin mints when we went! We will definitely be back!

If I could add another star I would. A friend of mine has been recommending this shop for several months and I will admit my response has been yada yada yada because I am generally not a frozen yogurt fan. Well that has been my loss, that’s for sure.
My first visit was yesterday afternoon. The gentleman who helped me was very courteous and obliging. There were at least 6 flavors to choose from and all of the toppings were fresh and nicely presented. I tried a mixture of dulce leche and vanilla with strawberries and hot fudge. The yogurt is the creamiest I have ever tried, and it was delicious. They have a couple of tables and several interesting books to look through. I took one of the tables and picked up a pictorial book about Tacoma.
I memorized the page I was on and went back today to finish the book. Of course I thought I should do another taste test and today chose vanilla/​chocolate swirl with strawberries, marshmallows and a little hot fudge. I liked it even better today.
Now I have a dilemma, I finished the book, what’s going to be my excuse to go back tomorrow? LOL
Sonja, the owner is very pleasant and also has a womens’ clothing boutique as part of the space. I am sure the items for purchase are very nice, but since they don’t interest me I say MORE YOGURT!
This is the best you will ever find, anywhere.

Proctor Frozen Yogurt is easily the best frozen yogurt I have come across both here in Tacoma and back in Colorado.
This was yet another entry that was highly recommended by the Tacoma Volcano newspaper and it does not disappoint!
Whenever I go to a frozen yogurt shop I always wind up with the oddest combinations of flavors and toppings. I got several flavors of yogurt. I got the vanilla, chocolate, Key Lime and Salted Carmel Candy Corn. I was told that the Carmel one was the way to go but I thought it would be very sweet with a name like that. But it was not. It was in fact the flavor I enjoyed the most! The yogurt is prepared wonderfully and is so smooth! Next favorite flavor goes to chocolate and then vanilla. The Key Lime was OK too but the flavor seemed subtle.
They have other flavors as well but I did not get a chance for another go around.
The toppings are fresh and the atmosphere is homey and quaint. Everyone that works here is nice and friendly! Awesome all around experience!

Enjoying frozen yogurt at this unique establishment is like going to someone’s house and eating from their own froyo machine. Less toppings available than at other froyo joints.

What a treat!
Enjoyed a fun girls night out with my sister and partner in all things yummy and tasty. We finished the night with a visit to this great location. We parked in the back– super easy access. I went with lemon with fresh berries from the toppings bar. Perfect treat for a warm summer night. My sister went with the toasted carmel and the bite I swiped from her was fantastic!
The young lady working was energetic. Greeted us right away and was friendly. There were couples, families and friends inside and out on the deck enjoying their treats. We sat under the shady tree in the back. It was the perfect spot to enjoy our treats and catch up and giggle. We welcomed in the dusk and the young lady working there turned the lights on to the tree we were under adding to the atmosphere.
The store is clean. The yogurt and toppings fresh. The service freindly. The atmosphere sweet and charming. LOVED our time here and look forward to bringing the hubby next time.

terrible yogurt and venue. I will never ever come here again in my life. bad quality and wilted old toppings. not very organized.

Usually I prefer ice cream to fro-​yo, but this place is pretty tasty. They’ve got gobs of topping options, payment is by weight, and lots of space inside and out to enjoy their wares.
Especially enjoyable after a morning at the Proctor Farmers Market.

Oh man, I’ve only been here once, but I love this place!
If you want the array of froyo flavors and toppings that Menchies has but way better ambience, it is here you guys. This is a much nicer place to sit and hang out in with your friends/​family.
If you happen to be coming in all by your lonesome, there are even books on the tables to keep you company!
Also, unless it’s a farmer’s market day, parking is usually really easy to find in this area.

we tried this out on Saturday and were very happy with the outcome. The flavors were good. I had Dulce de leche and my boyfriend had vanilla. Both were delicious. The girl at the counter was very nice. I am pretty sure the owner was there because when we sat down a man and a woman at the table next to us said hi. We felt very welcomed at this yogurt shop. The toppings were a little limited but still good.

I know, who eats frozen yogurt in the middle of winter? I’m far more likely to seek it out in cold weather and it’s a pretty good indicator of a shop’s quality if it flags in colder months. Proctor Frozen Yogurt seems to keep up the standards year-​round.
Upon entering, I must admit, I was put off by the bank of machines and laundry soap smell (I’m guessing from the clothing shop in back.) The staff were super friendly and I was already in the door so I figured I’d go ahead and give it a try. You come in, pick up a cup, pick a flavor and fill to your desire, then add toppings. Speaking of flavors, they didn’t have an overwhelming number but they had a nice mix of standards and off-​beats. They weigh it all up at the end and charge you accordingly. I like this system for a few reasons — kids can mix flavors as much as they want but more importantly, I’m not stuck with more yogurt than I really wanted and can instead load up on fruit. Perfect!
I do wish they had waffle cones. Sugar cones are okay but the waffle cone is far superior.
Seating is limited, so if it’s crowded be prepared to head elsewhere. They had a sign up that the upstairs was able to be reserved for small gatherings. Parking is Proctor District standard: street only, you’ll fight a Volvo that’s running you for the space.

Best frozen yogurt I’ve ever had. Toppings are fresh and awesome as well. Better than Gibson’s.

One hot Saturday, my friends and I found a cool place to cool down. We were not the only ones this day looking for a cool place! Long line in this tiny shop for self serve fro yo and a few sherbet options.
Prices are a bit higher here for fro yo, but considering its located in Proctor propger perhaps this is the reason they are higher.
Friendly staff and cute atmosphere makes this place a-​okay.

Love this place — I got my punch card and everything :)
Delicious frozen yogurt, calories posted (some extremely low, like 70 calories per serving!!) and great topping choices. Plus, the owners are so darned sweet. The store is clean and right next to the Metropolitan Market, so easy to park.
For a create-​it-​yourself dessert, I appreciate that they have more for the anti-​chocolate-​lovers like me. In particular they have these amazing gummies that I’m told are sold in Asian markets (a little confused, never heard of them before) but the point is: they don’t go hard in the fro-​yo and now I’m ADDICTED to them. You can see them in the bottom cup of the photo. They’re sweet and soft.
My fave flavor is strawberry banana. My mom likes the raspberry (she’s anti-​dairy) and my dad the lemon.
Gonna put that punch card to use!

I went to this location for the first time. I called to verify the location prior to arriving, but was not informed that they didn’t open until noon. I arrived 20 minutes before noon and was disappointed to learn that they opened later than I anticipated. When the door finally opened at noon, I was surprised to see that only two of the machines were ready. The other two machines were still being cleaned and were pulled away from the wall. I inquired about it, and was told they would be ready in 5 minutes. The flavors I came for were in those two machines, so I decided to wait. While waiting for my yogurt, I looked around the topping bar to see the options. There were a total of 18 toppings in the bar, plus hot fudge, caramel, honey, cinnamon, sprinkles, whipped cream, and sea salt. Some of the toppings in the bar included chocolate chips, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, granola, shredded coconut, Oreos, gummy bears, fresh fruit, and what appeared to be some sort of apple pie. I was bummed that there weren’t any cookie dough bites, graham cracker crumbs, cheesecake bites, peanut butter chips, or animal crackers. The other machines were finally ready at 12:12 pm so I eagerly opted for Dulce de Leche, Cake Batter, and Alpine Vanilla. I sampled the Luscious Lemon as well. Their yogurt is YoCream and is moderately priced at $ 0.45/ounce. They also offer a loyalty punch card and a military discount. When I stepped up to the counter to weigh and pay, I was suprised that the scale was not set up to show ounces, but rather pounds. I always get the same amount of yogurt wherever I go, so I have never come across this. I asked the owner how many ounces it weighed, but she wasn’t able to tell me. After doing some quick math, I was able to figure out the conversion. It appears that they do not deduct the weight of the cup like many other yogurt shops, so you’re paying for your yogurt plus what the cup itself weighs. It’s not a lot; about $ 0.25. I was a little disappointed at how soft the yogurt was and it began to melt before I could get to the table to eat it. I don’t think all of the machines were keeping the yogurt at the optimal temperature, so the consistency was softer than what it should have been. It was still delicious, though! The building is an older house, so it has a quaint charm. There are tables outside on the porch and even a table in a little garden area. It definitely has a relaxing feel to it, and I can imagine those areas fill up quickly on a summer evening. Although it wasn’t without a few glitches, the experience was a tasty one and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. I look forward to returning again in the future!

I am moving to Tacoma soon and while looking for a place in this neighborhood, I had some waiting around time and found the yogurt shop. Not a huge selection, but tasty and it’s always great to have self serve fro yo within walking distance from home. not to mention, UPS was filming something or another while i chilled on the porch, and so there was dude dressed as a bear there. thumbs up!

My friend and I enjoyed the frozen yogurt at this shop. The yogurt was delicious, and the toppings were definitely fresh. The people are also friendly, and I plan to go back again sometime soon. We’d recommend it to you all!

I took my kids here last week after dinner at the Met Market. The store was sparsely decorated as it was it’s soft opening. Yet we enjoyed the self serve multi-​flavored yogurt and the kids had such fun with the toppings. Kudos to Sonja and crew for enlivening the neighborhood with yumminess!
