Mouthful Photos from Menchie's
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Thu, May 19, 2011 at 10:40 AM
Fellow fro-yo lovers will be excited that Menchie's is now open in Kenilworth Commons on East Boulevard.
When I stopped by the other night around 7:30 pm, the new store was already quite busy with other curious customers eager to sample their frozen yogurts.
Going to Menchie's was like a taking a trip to Asia. The bubbly font of the logo, the pop of magenta and lime colors throughout the store, the cute frozen-yogurt-headed mascot dude, and bright overhead lights were so ... Asian. The store is reminiscent of all the cutesy dessert/cafe/food shops in Taiwan. (The frozen yogurt chain was actually started by a Caucasian couple.)
With seven frozen yogurt machines mounted into the wall, and each machine serving two flavors (with the ability to swirl flavors, too), a total of 14 flavors are available at any time. The flavors rotate daily, and there is a slew of flavors on their roster. They offer regular, no sugar added, low carb, and dairy-free frozen yogurts. They have tart and non-tart flavors, too.
Check out all the fun flavors here. It's a good thing customers are encouraged to sample any and all flavors before they fill up their cups or waffle cups.
The yogurts and toppings are DIY, and you pay by weight. At $0.42 per ounce, it's just a tad more expensive than Yoforia and Red Mango which are $0.39 per ounce.
The Red Velvet and Cookies and Cream flavors were my favorites of the ones I tried.
