Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt

Standard yogurt place with several different flavors and lots of toppings. They charge by the ounce no matter what you’ve got on or in your yogurt. The facility was clean and the employees friendly and talkative.

Ah, Menchies! My favorite summer treat! You can come here and pick sugar free options and not blow your diet! It’s always very clean in my experience and the staff go above and beyond to accommodate/​please you. The owner has even said if my favorite topping (the yogurt raspberry crunchies) aren’t out to simply ask and I can have ‘em! My kiddo dropped her yogurt exiting with a lively crowd to sit outside and they said come back and get a new one free of charge :-)

Decent. Yogurt itself was okay, decent toppings selection, lousy franchise atmosphere. VERY overpriced, especially for a chain. Will not be a repeat customer!

I went for the mochi balls & I stayed for the experience.
While in town, I searched high & low for mochi balls & I found them, buuuuuut they were smaller than I expected. But nonetheless, I added them to my fro-​yo snack.
So my tale starts as such: Upon entry, I’m greeted by a employee who gave me instruction on use of the yogurt/​ice cream machines and the other two dessert stations. Graham cracker crumbs, gummie bears and MY MOCHI BALLS!!! Smaller than normally, but still satisfying to my tastebuds.
Your creation is weighed, you pay & you’re done.
Additionally, there’s a loyalty plan that’s free & seems pretty sweet, pun not intended, but funny none-​the-​less.

Fro-Yo…no, not a new character in the Hobbit series… but this frozen yogurt would be Hobbit approved! :D Yum Yum… I love this place! The mascot is somewhat Japanese animé looking to me, super cute! I usually like the Cake Batter flavor, but this time I saw Watermelon Sorbet… love at first sample taste! You are allowed to have small samples of the various flavors, free. So if you are gonna drop some coin on some frozen yogurt, and it’s not cheap, you better like the flavor you get.
I love the toppings here… especially the mochi. Mochi is one of my most favorite things to eat. Mochi ice cream specifically. Mochi with Frozen Yogurt is about as close to FRESH mochi ice cream that I can get to here in the desert. But I was really surprised that they had a vast assortment of fresh fruit for toppings! EXTRA star there for sure.
The store was clean and bright. Not too busy for a friday night, but it was pretty chilly outside. The service was fine, nothing extraordinary. My bowl of yumminess put me back $ 6…pricey yes… but sooo worth it! Great treat once a month after a hard workout at the gym: D

I agree with the other comments made about the two girls working there. I think menchies is amazing however every time I come in those two blond girls are always chatting away and behaving inappropriately. They don’t care about the customer or their jobs. I think the company would do a lot better without them. I know I have quit going for that reason.

I wrote a review about the Menchie’s in the Montaño plaza however i was inclined to come here and review this location because I had such a poor experience with the staff. The young ladies working this night were so busy chatting with a few customers/​friends who were simply sampling the yogurt that they could not be bothered with me. The young lady that checked me out asked me if I wanted my receipt to which I responded «No thank you» — she wasn’t paying me any attention and then turns to me and actually says (while waving my receipt), «Did you want this? I didn’t hear what you said.» I couldn’t even respond… I think I just turned and walked away. This place was completely deserted when all the other businesses in the area were bumping with activity — perhaps the word has gotten out?!? Even though this location is somewhat closer to us we will still drive a little out of the way to go to the other location because of the poor service here.

Dirty, unclean and nothing special. The toppings were picked over and all over the place. Looked like wild children had dug their little paws in everything! It was filled with little kids and a zoo! Yuck. Staff was ignorant, and unhelpful. Bathrooms were beyond awful.

I doubted Menchies, not only because I’m not that fond of healthy sweets, but because it was far away. How could I, someone who lives and breathes Nob Hill, love something so far away? My friend swore by it, and a group of us met him there to exchange a pair of handcuffs for a Halloween costume, or so I think… Anyways, I excitedly wobble up to the spouts that dispense this godly treat, because who doesn’t wobble when dessert is involved? As I looked over and watched my gang dispense all these flavors, including tart flavors (which I made a face about and then later regretted my face), fruity flavors, chocolaty flavors, and toppings, I was kind of excited. I sat down with my spoon that has a little cone filled with a smiling turd on it I put that frozen yogurt in my face. I shoved it all in my face, and even started shoving other peoples frozen yogurt in my face, I wanted it all, and I needed it all. What probably appeared to be a scene from Spirited Away I became faceless, a monster, that would probably attempt to eat my friends if I had any inclination that they tasted as good as the frozen yogurt I was putting in my face. I have found myself looking for reasons to drive to the West Side just so I can «accidently» stop and get some frozen yogurt. I want to kiss and curse the day my friend was ever born, because without him I wouldn’t have found this place. Yummy yummy yummy!

Did you know that Menchies is the World’s Largest Self-​Service Frozen Yogurt Franchise?
Don’t worry, I was also in the dark about that. When I think frozen yogurt, I think Pinkberry. But that’s only because I religiously watch Curb Your Enthusiasm. Did you see that episode where LD eats the frozen yogurt that he and Jeff purchase for Susie’s dog Oscar as his last meal before being euthanized? That is some truly funny shit.
Anyway, Menchies. Who knew?
I’m trying to eat outside of my neighborhood, even though once you find yourself in the Northeast Heights the chances of stumbling upon a chain or a franchise increases exponentially.
I took the niece, who is apparently a little Unilocaler in the making. As we entered the über-​sterile and cheerful confines of Menchies, she asked «do you think it will be as good as Olo? Or Love?» Ah, that’s my girl. Let’s go find out.
I’m no frozen yogurt connoisseur, but this was pretty damn delicious. A large variety of flavors, cute little stacked lexan bins of toppings, plus plenty of sauces and fresh fruit options. I went with banana frozen yogurt topped with fresh raspberries and caramel sauce, and for this I commend myself. It was amazing. Little one concocted some unholy abomination of pink lemonade frozen yogurt topped with sprinkles, chocolate chips, mango boba, cheese cake bites, m & m’s, you name it. She loved it, and she loved the store too, because they had stickers and 3-​D puzzles for the kids with all their cute, branded characters like ‘Sprinkle’ and ‘Chip’ and Menchie him (her?)self. Even the spoons were brightly-​colored plastic renditions of the cast of Menchie characters. She was 100% down with this.
As we headed outside to enjoy our treats and the late summer New Mexican sky, the employee on duty invited us to «have a smiley day.» This I could almost not abide by. But what the hell? If The Dude abides, so can I.
And have a smiley day we did.

Yet another «serve yourself» frozen yogurt turnkey operation. Actually, they claim to serve frozen yogurt and sorbet, but the employees couldn’t even tell me the difference between yogurt and sorbet.
I tried a chocolate frozen yogurt and a strawberry tart flavor. The chocolate had a medicinal quality, the strawberry was sharp and acrid. Both were strongly artificial tasting.
This place is not about good frozen desserts for Albuquerque. It’s not even about real food. It’s sad when you consider that it would not have been much more effort to create a frozen dessert shop that put emphasis on real quality. Albuquerque deserves better.
I won’t be back. Chillz Frozen Custard and I Scream Ice Cream are both much better.

good flavors, but they dont have much of a sugar free selection, and their toppings are all sugar filled too. they are a little on the pricy side compared to other local places, and they are out of the way

Woo hoo
