Menchie’s

Yummy!!! What a treat! We ended up here just because we were in a park close by and googled ice cream shops so decided to try it and never heard of it before but thought the other reviews we read were quite positive! I felt like a kid in a candy store!!! When you arrive you pick a cup and do whatever make you well — happy! They have about 20 flavours of frozen yogurt, about 60 types of toppings and 4 types of syrups. I tried 6 different types of frozen yogurt all mixed in 1 cup, yes I went overboard. Then the toppings OMG candy overload, I’ll start my new diet tomorrow. There’s an excellent selection of healthy choices for when I return to eat better next time. Can’t wait to go back as they even have a rewards program after you spend $ 50 you get $ 5 off which works out to 10% but hey what the hey I’ll take it as I know I’ll use that up in no time. What a treat! For certain I’ll be back soon! That atmosphere was great too, fun, clean, comfortable, accommodating place to eat.

Love this place! As far as frozen yogurt places go I like Menchie’s the best! Their flavors change quite often, they have lots of toppings to add on and the peanut butter sauce is to die for. You can sample the different flavors by yourself. They also offer waffles, both the regular and with cinnamon. They have a reward program, based on the amount of money you spend you get points which turn into cash again, to be spend at Menchie’s. Got a few free ones so far. It’s a do it yourself place, just get everything you want and you pay according to the weight.

I’ve reviewed several branches of Menchies from BC, and my love for Menchies definitely does not change here in Alberta! Menchies is my absolute favorite place to get my dose of Froyo!
The customer service is definitely not as good as the locations in Vancouver, but still friendly enough! They have many selections of Froyo flavours for you to enjoy! One of their best features are their rotating seasonal flavours.
Froyo is froyo, but Menchies is the way to go!

Love Menchies sooo much!!! They have great flavours and toppings. I usually get red velvet with cake batter and cheesecake things for the toppings. You can also taste the flavour with a sample cup to see what it taste like. It’s a small place near northland and St. Luke’s church. Really friendly employees. Weekends are really busy especially during summer. But lines goes really fast and very organized. I’ll never get tired of Menchies.

Lots of delicious and fun flavours, a huge selection of toppings and seems to be cheaper than tutti frutti. The store layout is very nice and everything is clean. Not many tables tho, so that may be a problem on a busy days if you want to enjoy your yogurt instore. The staff were very nice and friendly as well. Easy to get to by transit, with many stops very close by.

Munchies’s is not really a ground breaking concept. It’s kind of like the former Spoon Me from Kensignton and I’ve seen the concept around other cities as I’ve roamed.
That being said, it’s a great froyo option in the nw. Especially if you’re not interested in just fruit. Actually it’s probably better to go else where if you are just after fruit but I personally like the mix of «bad for you» toppings on a «reasonable» frozen treat. Marble slab is delicious but swings a little far to the «omg, I can’t believe I just ate that» while some other froyo might not satisfy an intense need for a treat.
The reception of this location has been amazing. Quite late on a weeknight and there is a line out the door and around the store (30+ people?) They NEVER have their frequent buyer cards and seem to be always sold out of promo stuff. Either they are struggling to manage the location or they are slammed all the time and I’m guessing it’s mostly the later. The staff is not the best but as long as they stay out of your way it’s a very brief interaction anyway.
I really dislike the size of the containers… because they make you over serve yourself. A reasonable serving looks so pathetic in the bowl. But I guess they do that on purpose as it’s based on weight but it’s evil food marketing type stuff at work there. the place is a bit expensive but if you watch your pouring you’ll get out with a nice treat that won’t be too hurtful to your waistline or pocket book.

Meeeeeeeeenchie’s! I heart you.
Menchie’s is located on Northland Drive in the NW, across the street from Walmart in a strip mall area. Parking is great because they share a large lot. Menchie’s mission statement is «we make you smile» and they definitely live up to their statement. When you enter, you can’t help but smile!!! The décor is super cute, little frozen yogurt with a smiley face, pictures of celebrities at Menchie’s all over and of course the people who work there are very welcoming and happy. If you don’t know how menchie’s works, I will tell you.
You grab a cup or waffle bowl, proceed to the self serve stations, read the flavors and if you want to sample, they have a tray of small sampler cups. If you’re anything like me and like to sample everything… then do it!!! They’re not watching or hovering over you. You can almost get full from all the sampling you can do (well when I do it. hehehe). After you choose your flavor (s), you proceed to the large array of toppings… sprinkles, nuts, cereal, clodhoppers, chocolate, candies, brownies, nanaimo bars, more chocolate, more candy, and fruit!!! You can also choose to top it all off with some sauces (chocolate, reese, strawberry, caramel…). You then go to the front counter where they weight your froyo and you pay! (55 cent per ounce)
The first time I came here, I got a little too excited and got pretty much every flavor in my cup. BIG MISTAKE. All the flavors melt together and it’s just meh. Now I either go with fruity flavors or chocolaty/​plain flavors. I really like topping my froyo with candies but they get super hard so beware!
They have a cute seating area inside and in the summer they have a couple tables outside and also a little seating area just a few steps away, it’s a public area so anyone can sit there.
I would 100% with a smile recommend Menchie’s to ANYONE. It’s the go-​to froyo place! I especially love it because I can sample however much I want… If you need a place to bring a date… DO IT AT MENCHIE’S, there will be a second or third date! ;)

The options are endless, the yogurt is delicious, toppings and plentiful, but be prepared for sticker shock when you hit the till!
4 cups; me, hubs, and 2 kids was $ 26. Yes the kids went a little nuts with the toppings, but it was really only about half a cup per person and me and hubs didn’t add much of anything except for the coconut and pecans.
I will probably go back with my girls but too fancy for the little ones and they will go overboard with the toppings ranging from cookie dough to blue whales.
Go if its a couple of responsible adults who can say no to adding a crazy amount of toppings. If the little ones are craving ice cream, take them to Rotten Ronnie’s, they won’t notice the difference between a luxury frozen yogurt and plain old soft serve– trust me on this one, at $ 6 per serving, they won’t be able to finish their cup at Menchie’s.

Normally I’m not into frozen yogurt (though I do like traditional Greek yogurt), but this place has changed my mind with its selection of flavours and toppings. I’ve only had pistachio, topped with shredded toasted coconut, slivered cashews, white chocolate, brownie bits, and sliced strawberries, but this first experience now has me eager to try other combinations. This location opened in April 2013, taking over a space formerly occupied by a Great Canadian Bagel franchise I never visited. It’s bright, cheerful, and so far it lives up to its brand promise: «We make you smile.»

This cute little froyo place is right across from the church where I play at; our son has been begging hubby and me to come here for a while – sooo… here we are! When you first walk in, you can’t help noticing all the pictures of the Hollywood stars that have been to the Menchie’s stores all across North America. Cool!
We moved towards the left side of the room and worked our way around in a clockwise direction: first, we took fairly large paper bowls (you can also choose a waffle cone inside the bowl for an extra $ 1.00) and then selected our flavour (s) of froyo (chocolate, pistachio, vanilla, mocha chocolate, crème brûlée, blueberry, pineapple sorbet, honeydew, red velvet, Creamsicle). Finally, you can choose from a variety of dry (Skitttles, macaroons, rosebuds, toasted coconut, gummi worms…) to fresh fruit toppings (strawberry tapioca pearls, pitted cherries, strawberries, pineapple chunks). There are also different kinds of syrups available (chocolate, strawberry, caramel, and pineapple). Oh, and there are little containers available for you to sample the froyo before you buy…
My son combined three flavours of froyo (pineapple sorbet, crème brûlée, red velvet) and piled it high with gummies and Cola bottles. Hmmm…, not something I’d like to taste… Hubby (pistachio) and I (crème brûlée, fresh strawberries, toasted coconut) were more conservative. Yum! My crème brûlée froyo was so creamy and meltingly smooth (without being overpoweringly sweet) that I forgot I was eating frozen yogurt. ;) I had a taste of the pistachio froyo and it was quite delicious as well.
Menchie’s, we are hooked! We will be back!

Been to menchies a lot, my best friend showed it to me!
It charges you by weight and the check out is fast, and very accessible by transit. Sometimes I even get some and eat while waiting for the bus :)
My favorite time is when I went with my boyfriend and I got chocolate flavors and he got fruity ones, there was a chalk board we could draw on it and we also received free stickers! :)
Froyo did not taste like froyo more like smooth yummy ice cream :)
I will go here again and again!

This review is pretty biased because I LOVE frozen yogurt bars.
I love Menchies although I’m not a fan of this particular one. There’s not as much selection as the Airdrie location and there’s not as much selection. I always find it really busy and sometimes their toppings are all out.
I go to this location because it’s much closer to me than Airdrie. If I wasn’t so lazy I’d probably drive out to Aidrie.

I might have liked it… Had I not tried Tutti Frutti first…
Menchies tastes … Fake… Not the same and not as good…
Sorry Menchies… Tutti Frutti stole my heart!

Never heard of Menchie’s ’til my kids dragged me there … wow … I’ll warn you, Menchie’s is kind of crack-​like in its addictive power. The flavours of frozen yogurt are sublime, and the bins of sugary goodness that you can pour on top, will have you buzzing like a 3^rd grade classroom in the middle of a Ridilin shortage.
Place is always packed, but so good, it should almost be illegal!
Can’t wait to go back.

This is an interesting review. I’m not even sure if I’m ok with giving 4 stars.
To start out, we arrive on Monday, it was busy but not too busy. I wanted to see which flavors they had so I wasn’t at the front standing there looking like a deer in headlights.
The worker «matter of factly» asked if I had been here before, and told me I wasn’t allowed to stand where I was. Bite me. I’m a paying customer and I’m not blocking anyone.
Selection is great, way better than Tutti Frutti, and they do have parking as you’re not on 17^th basically. So there is a plus. And you can sample flavors so you know what you’re getting into before committing to a whole bowl.
I wanted pineapple and they were out. So that disappointed me.
And I have now learnt to be very very selective in what I put in my fro yo as skittles freeze and will crack your teeth. So now I have an emergency dentist appt to deal with.
I’m sure we’ll come back, but I will only put fruit in my fro yo and will act like a deer in headlights as you’re not allowed to pre-​plan your flavor selections.

So good on a summer day!!! This location was super packed when we were there on the Monday long weekend. But the line went by fast and they were quite organized. This location has lots of good flavours too! :)

Checked out the Menchie’s in Airdrie earlier this year and loved it. Discovered a couple months ago this store was going to be opening soon in Northland and we eagerly anticipated their opening.
While it’s much smaller than Airdrie, does not have near as many options or much room to move, it still delivers in quality and content. The whole froyo rage right now reminds me of the yogen fruz craze back in the 90’s.
Great place to stop in and treat yourself or your family with a healthy alternative to ice cream… just be prepared for a line up and squishy environment!

Yummy frozen yogurt. I am new to these places and I recently stumbled upon Menchies in Airdrie which I loved! The one up by northland is ok I found that Airdrie had a lot more options and presentation was way better bigger store too. Either way quality was amazing better then the Qoola place at Market Mall. I have gone to Menchies at least 3 times a week for the past 2 weeks now and it never gets old. So glad I found this place.

Personally, I liked Menchie’s more than my experience at Tutti Frutti! First of all — LOVE the new location. Super close to my house, I don’t have to drive downtown and find parking here. Score! We went around 9PM and it was PACKED. I LOVED the variety of yogurt (something I felt Tutti Frutti lacked) and the fact you were able to sample each kind with a small sample cup. I ended up getting the Watermelon Tart (so yum) and the Orange Creamsicle. Delish! I also love the amount of toppings, sour keys are the way to my heart! Since it’s so close, super tasty, and not that expensive (I FILLED mine to the brim and it was less than $ 10 for two cups), this is now my go-​to dessert stop in the NW!

I was so excited to hear that Menchie’s was opening up in the NW, right by my work. I am a huge fan of being able to add fresh fruit and toppings to my yogurt.
Menchie’s is an adorable café with an amazing assortment of flavours! I had marshmallow, and it was delicious. A must visit!
