About Us
13 Years In Business
Est. in 2011
Swirl Time opened it doors across the street from Sonoma State University in January, 2011. Swirl Time is not a chain as many have asked but a single store operation.
Meet the Owner!
My name is Karen Bradley and I am the owner of Swirl Time. I am a single Mom of three grown children and have lived locally in Petaluma since 1989. I co-owned a chain of video stores in the 80’s called Bradley Video. I searched for many years to find another business I would love as much. I was watching a local TV show and it featured a self serve yogurt stores in the South Bay. It was love at first sight. I loved the fun creative concept and I just knew this was the perfect business for me to open.
My hopes with Swirl Time was to create a business that would bring happiness to all those that entered the store. The self-serve concept is such a fun experience allowing you to create whatever mixture you can dream up. The store is decorated in bright happy colors. I wanted Swirl Time to be a comfortable social gathering spot for family and friends to socialize. I surrounded the store with lime green rocking chairs so that it would create a relaxing atmosphere for customers to sit in the sun and rock the day away.
Fresh Ingredients, Superior Quality
Swirl Time offers quality toppings and yogurt. We only bring fresh fruit in, never frozen. We bake daily onsite fresh cones, chocolate chip cookies and brownies. We are also known not only for our yogurt but our unique soft serve Gelato’s. Our most popular flavor is our famous Oatmeal Cookie Gelato. If you have never tried it before It’s a must!
We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our store. I am approached daily by customers who compliment the Swirl Time staff and want to let me know what a wonderful job everyone does cleaning. I also take pride in hiring friendly employee’s. I feel they represent me and my belief is to always be kind. My hopes are that every customer that enters Swirl Time’s doors leaves with a smile.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! The staff and management are always so sweet and helpful with any questions and are super nut-allergy friendly! Oreo gelato is my favorite treat after a long days work. 13/10 would recommend (:
Best frozen yogurt! They have different varieties of flavors. You can always ask for sample cups to see which one you’d like more. The staff is friendly and everything inside looks nice and clean.
Amazing! Fresh, delicious flavors, fun and zany toppings, friendly staff, super clean (which is such an achievement with how many kids love it). A family tradition for us, we love SwirlTime!
The yogurt is consistently tasty and the selections good. They have more toppings than most yogurt places. They offer a selection of fresh fruit toppings, candy toppings, cookie toppings, cereals, nuts, and syrups (even hot fudge!).
