Scott makes great yogurt and amazing waffle cones. He even offers gluten free and dairy free options. His coffee is great too. A fun place to go hang on the couch, drink some coffee, get a treat and listen to folks play the piano read more

Nice kids swirl come for $3. Clean. Fast service. Near campus. Near lots of other eateries.

Redwood Yogurt and Scott is the best! I was born here in Arcata, walked here100's of times for a sweet lunch in high school. I'm back home and the nostalgia is epic. Go visit Redwood Yogurt. Never disappoints read more

Wow, so good! Very clean, pleasant little shop with very good frozen yogurt. Best deal is on the kids cone : only $3 read more

Haven't been here in 15+ years but it hasn't changed. Hands down the best soft serve. The owner is super friendly.

Delicious frozen yogurt and large, comfortable place to hang out! It seemed to big a space for you.. Thank you. read more

Redwood Yogurt - a hand holding a cup of yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Arcata, California

It's the Yogury of the North. At least that's what the sign said. Is 'yogury' a real word? Anyway, I had just finished a healthy albeit hearty late afternoon lunch at Wildflower Cafe & Bakery across the street (review: http://bit.ly/2pZvltJ). I thought I was going to make a beeline to my car to get to Eureka but noticed this spot out of the corner of my eye. I could tell it was a student hangout since Humboldt State is nearby, but I just wanted something a bit decadent since I had been doing good with my steps all day. The $3 small cup of Coconut Frozen Yogurt did the trick as it was not overly sweet or creamy, just flavorful (photo: http://bit.ly/2X1u6X3). On the road again. FROYO - 4 stars...fresh flavors in their froyo was a nice surprise AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...relaxing space for small groups SERVICE - 3.5 stars...friendly enough TOTAL - 4 stars...it's the Yogury of the North...yep RELATED - Lost in redwood country?

Redwood Yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Arcata, California

I started going here when I was a HSU student in the 1990's and it was great, and my 19 year old son who was visiting the area stopped in and said it was just as delicious as I had remembered! Thanks Scott! read more

Bought a gift certificate, in/out no problem. The person we purchased the GC for, LOVES this yogurt shop!

Vegan ice cream can be hard to come by. Vegan soft serve? Forget about it. But this guy makes the best soft serve I've EVER had. No joke, when people ask me my favorite dessert, I say redwood yogurt's non dairy vanilla. And it's just vanilla!! Not a top flavor of mine usually but it's the only non dairy option he's got. But it doesn't matter one bit! The vanilla bean is rich and invigorating, the ice cream itself is silky smooth and so creamy, you'd never know it wasn't the traditional cow's milk. I believe he makes it with almond milk. And don't forget a waffle cone! They're vegan too and go perfectly with the soft serve. The space itself is awesome too. Unique and eclectic seating, a piano to play if you like, local artwork all over the walls, and dozens of flyers so you can pursue local events. The guy who runs this place is kind and hardworking, a bit of an enigma. Maybe a soft serve sorcerer? Don't miss out on this Arcata gem! :) read more

Best fro yo in Arcata and locally owned! We love this place :) great portion sizes and great prices. Love the local artists featured on the walls. read more

Scott has done what you could do. Make a generational business fly so well in Arcata. We love this place. Great vibe and great product and great service. Five stars all day long. read more

Amazing yogurt in arcata its a great opportunity to support local shops!! Ive lived here for three years and its the best in town especially of you are dairy free. read more

What a nice quaint place to eat yogurt. Mine was about $3. I highly recommend the pumpkin and the vanilla/chocolate swirl! I had my yogurt plain but toppings are available too and choice of cup or cone. Ambiance included artwork, assorted chairs and tables, piano to utilize at no cost, bathroom. Nice man that worked there even asked if I wanted to sample a specific flavor. read more

Yum yogurt. Had the citrus in a cup and it was plentiful for the price. Thanks for that. And looks like good hangout spot for locals.

Love love love this place! Great service and great yogurt. He's super friendly and welcomes EVERYONE. Never bad vibes. Love to support his business and hope others will too love the vegan vanilla read more

Delicious Waffle Cones of Swirled Delight The frozen yogurt is a sweet icy treat which tastes like homemade soft serve yogurt in one of the best waffle cones I've ever had. I was lucky enough to get a cone of Mounds which was a swirl of half chocolate and half coconut. I sat on the hand carved looking bench and ate the delicious treat while watching an interesting parade of folks carrying a guitar, juggling poles, dogs and some type of artwork. It was so delicious, I seriously considered getting a second cone for the road. read more

Redwood Yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Arcata, California

See all

My husband and I actually stopped in this little town intending on getting ice cream else where, but when we arrived to the other over cream location we specifically stopped in for, it was closed! Bummer! So this was our second choice and not a bad one! It's a little hole in the wall yogurt shop, in a neat little town. All the places are tucked away and inconspicuous. A lot of establishments look like houses than have been renovated into little shanty places. Pretty cool. This place had wonderful frozen yogurt. A small list of flavors to select from. They even had an almond milk based vanilla frozen yogurt. I will tell you though, their waffle cones are beyond amazing! Fresh made soft, but ever so slightly chewy. It was SO good! I though about that waffle cone for a couple hours afterwards *giggle* Good little spot. read more

Redwood Yogurt - Salted Carmel & vanilla (almond milk) swirl In a fresh made waffle cone! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Arcata, California

Redwood Yogurt is a part of our community. That place has been here forever, and it's my personal favorite of the yogurt shops in Humboldt as both a kid and adult (but of course, taste is subjective). I like most of the flavors and he gives me samples of new ones so it's a great life. They seem like good honest people, and I appreciate that. read more

I just LOVE this place!! It's not totally fancy like many of the yogurt shops that have opened all over the place but I appreciate it's understated interior and lack of total organization... it's not some corporate chain.... the owner is really friendly he's been doing this for years, and seems to remain true to the business. What's cool is the waffle cones are made fresh (it always smells really good in there!) And it's only like 3 bucks! He changes the flavors all the time too. I really like the pomegranate, peanut butter, and coconut flavors! YUM read more

Cool little shop and yummy frozen yogurt!! I loved the decor and the chill vibe. The froyo is soft serve which is awesome & the waffle cones are made in house! So neat! read more

Popped into the shop on a whim, first time being there. Wanted to see what they had to offer and upon asking if the shop was self-serve or not, the rude old white guy that people have mentioned before (owner possibly?), simply said no and ignored me further on. Was given weird looks by him and 3 other old while fellows when I walked in, so maybe it was just racism? Not the first time I've dealt with such passive-aggressive bigotry in Arcata. Or ageism? Not sure, but either way, never coming here again. Doesn't look like they have much of a selection anyways aside from typical, bland flavors like vanilla. read more

Love the waffle cone. This place is a community spot, been there forever. Love their frozen yogurt!

My fiancee takes me here on a regular basis. The selection of frozen yogurt is amazing. I recommend the pumpkin when it is available. You can't go wrong with chocolate, which has been available every time. Then there's the waffle cone. They are made right on the spot and they are warm and crunchy. The environment is nice as well. Very "home-y" when compared to some commercial type places. There's couches and a piano to play. There's also tons of local papers and advertisements displayed. I think this place is an important asset to the local community. read more

This place has no comparison. Redwood Yogurt tops out any other yogurt of ice cream place in this and surrounding areas. The owner staffs the place and is extremely appreciative of any business. I just bought two yogurts for the price of once since he had my fiancee and I waiting for three minutes. Dude, if you have been anywhere else, three minutes is nothing. Even more important is the yogurt! YUMMY!!! There are a couple flavors that change from time to time. The berry flavors reflect what the owner has found in the store, giving you great fresh fruit for your yogurt. And then there are waffle cones. Fresh, warm and yummy. I can't pass these up. Mmmmm good! Oh, and there is an out of tune piano if you want to rock your skills! There are always current events posted on the walls and new local artwork hanging. Overall great service, great yogurt and a quiet, family friendly environment. Go get a brain freeze and tell them that Jeremy sent you. :-D read more

The non-dairy vanilla made with almond milk. SCRUMPTIOUS! The guy is a little odd but the local art on the walls & the fact that you can fall asleep on a couch to the smell of fresh waffle cones & he won't wake you...ahhh, one of my favorite places on the west coast for sure! read more

Best yogurt around hands down Scott the owner is an amazing person , and has amazing yogurt. Our families favorite!!

Suck it, "Ultimate Yogurt." This town ain't big enough for two yogurt places and this one's got my vote. It's an Arcata legend and it better not go anywhere. The yogurt is always great, the guy who owns and runs the place (I still don't know his name...) is friendly and passionate and even gave me fro-yo on the house once. Also, the atmosphere is wonderful. There's always kids running around or college students hanging out or couples on dates. There's an eclectic set of chairs and tables and couches, community event flyers on the walls, local art...It's like everything you want in a healthy community rolled up into one awesome yogurt shop. PS, try the pumpkin yogurt. It's breathtaking. read more

Yogurt was okay but the older man that works there (not sure if he's the owner) was rude and cold. I noticed that he was incredibly friendly to the customers in front of me in line but when it was my turn, he refused eye contact and ignored my question when I asked how he was. Made my friends and I uncomfortable and will not be visiting again. read more

A-OK. Sorta. I didn't like any of the frozen yogurt options the one and only time I went to Redwood Yogurt. We got chocolate and mango in waffle cones. I would have enjoyed a sample of either, but it didn't taste very good beyond a small amount. I got sick of eating the chocolate froyo and wasn't interested in eating my boyfriend's mango. However, I thought the waffle cones were perfectly made -- crispy and dense (not soggy). I would go back to Redwood Yogurt once to give another flavor a try. Perhaps I'll ask for a smaller (or child's) size next time. read more

My best friend from work and I walked in here only to find... no one else. It was weird. I thought that there would be a plethora of people patronizing the place because it was a mild 55 degrees in Arcata and anything warmer than 50 degrees in this place deserve ice cream. We were apprehensive about trying their frozen yogurt but we were steadfast in our endeavor to be fatties. So we ordered the flavors of the day with waffle cones. Suffice it to say we were glad that we decided to stay and eat. Then 5 minutes later came the rush. I guess we were lucky. read more

WOW! SUPER GOOD FROZEN YOGURT! My friend had been raving about this place and I definitely see why! The yogurt is so light and fluffy that you don't feel like a pig after eating it. I had the mixed berry's (awesome), while my friend had the soy vanilla (also awesome). The icing-on-the-cake was the FRESH cone that the gentleman makes and then rolls on the spot. Eating delicious frozen yogurt out of a warm cone has made my LOOOOVE this spot. I'll definitely stop by next time I'm in Arcata. read more

Coolest 2 man staff, they can list the ingredients for any possible food allergies you have and they ALWAYS have new flavors. They also have gluten free topping options, along with vegan yogurt options! read more

Play the piano, relax on the couch, drink your cappuccino, and enjoy the comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. North town feels like the heart of Arcata. Redwood yogurt is a place where kids are welcome and honored. Find out what is happening locally from all of the fliers listing local events. This is the place to be. Skip the icky plaza yogurt shoppe and come here. This yogurt tastes better too. read more

Poor service. Unsure if the man who primarily works there is the owner but he was very cold to my friends and I who came into the shop. Didn't even make eye contact with any of us. read more

When it drizzles, and it does all the time, I like to grab frozen yogurt at this shop. The nearby greenery, redwood forest and weather make an enhancing contrast to the icy yogurt, with the air crisp and moist the location makes a simple outing for froyo an unforgettable moment. The ingredients are the Humboldt fresh standard which is to say farm to table is everywhere. The oblong, wooden painted shop sign is a classic of Humboldt. These examples of local signage can be found around older county shops and it's a mark of a true Humboldt establishment. I LOVE FROZEN YOGURT! I get a cone when I come here and hold it as I look up at the Humboldt sky with ice cream cold lips. read more

I love this place. I've been coming here for over 20 years. It was a staple when I was in elementary school, we'd have after/cast parties on closing night of the school plays and all us kids would get frozen yogurt. I was just in the other day and felt compelled to write a review, since sites like Yelp didn't exist back when I was frequenting this place more often. My recent experience was the same as I remember as a kid. Great yogurt at a reasonable price (though I doubt I cared so much about the price as a kid), yogurt that's so good that they only need two to three flavors at any given time. There's still a piano that patrons can play, and it's a very kid-friendly environment. I love that Revolution Bicycles moved-in next door (I was not a fan of Lemon Cycle, I mean Life Cycle, that was there before). That way when I'm done bombing down trail 6 or 13 in Redwood Park, if I need something for my bike, I can "recharge" with a 'cone afterwards. :) read more

Wonderful yogurt in amazing homemade waffle cones. Generous portions and family-like atmosphere. The chocolate is my favorite. read more

Amazing service and it's a cute little yogurt shop. The owner is very nice and all the flavors are amazing and fresh!
