Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt

Nice location overlooking the shipyard. Great flavor and topping selection. Loved it!

We’ve been here several times and it’s always good. The flavors are always changing, but my faves are pineapple, chocolate, and iced coffee. There are a 1 – 2 flavors for those who are lactose intolerant. 55/​cents per oz, so usually $ 4 – 5 per person. Toppings include candy, fruit, cereal, nuts, hot fudge, etc.
The kids love sampling different flavors before making their final selection, and getting to add toppings themselves. The sample cups are on the counter, and they encourage you to sample which is better than other froyo places like Yogurt City or Orange Leaf where I feel like I’m bothering the worker by asking to sample a few of the flavors.
Agree with the other comments on here about the setup. It can get a bit cramped. Also, the store is kind of set up strange. There are a few tables in the front of the store, but then you walk down a hallway to the back of the store where there are a few more tables. But minor stuff, still a solid 4 stars. Go check it out!

I’m really not a fan of yogurt or frozen yogurt, but we were talked in to trying it. I picked a flavor, and it was pretty good. The downsides … It gets very crowded in the area around the machines, even with just a few people, it’s a tight space. The pricing in my opinion is way too high. At a price of $.55 per ounce ($ 8.80 per pint), it is more than twice the price of Ben & Jerry’s pints, and that is real ice cream.

Menchie’s must be new on the market, since I’m the first review on Unilocal!I wish I would have taken a look and «checked in» on my mobile app since they offer a discount on Unilocal.Check in, people! The price of your fro-​yo is based on weight (per ounce). You customize your dessert yourself, then weigh and pay at the cashier in the center.
The set up is the reason why they only get ⁴⁄₅ stars. The fro-​yo machines wrap around behind the counter, a pretty cool idea, where you can mix and match different flavors to your hearts desire. However, seeing as the place was VERY busy, including about a dozen young children, the congestion was downright frustrating. Not wanting to be rude, I waited behind all those in front of me, as they hemmed and hawed about which flavors to get. I decided on kiwi-​strawberry (a summertime flavor).
The toppings are next: everything from gummy bears to sour patch kids, to crushed candy bars, to marshmallow topping. I tried the strawberry boba balls and really like them. Such a cool treat! I’ve never seen them anywhere else. However, the same problem persisted. Kids and adults alike REALLY took their time picking out toppings. As a result, my fro yo was almost completely liquid by the time I had paid the cashier.
Seeing as fro-​yo is not cheap (expect to pay about $ 5 per person), it’s pretty disappointing when it’s all melted before you even get to try it. I’d recommend management perhaps allowing 2 – 3 people at a time to go through, allowing them to pick and choose everything, just as before, but not creating a «backup.»
Next time I go, I’d really like to try the «original» fro-​yo, which I imagine tastes like greek yogurt. If there is a line, or if it’s very busy, I’d recommend just waiting until it clears out a bit. Much better to have frozen fro-​yo than no-​fro fro-​yo. Ya know?
PS picnic table across the street nice for outside eats.
