Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt

Crap frozen yogurt .
It wasn’t frozen properly!!!
There are flies on the kiwi
Other than it was clean and okay. Good location and free parking.

The location is great and very walkable. Kids love the fountains across the street.
The yogurt is fine, not incredible, not too yogurty. There is a great selection of toppings (including fresh fruit). I just find it way too expensive for what it is. I know you’re paying for the convenience, but I’d rather spend my money on something else. It melts super quick since its soft too.

Come on people, you know you love menchies! Don’t even try to deny it! This is a standard menchies, except for the fact that it’s on campus. So besides the occasional rush of frothing at the mouth co-​eds this place is pretty chill. With those aforementioned rushes the place can get a little dirty, but overall this place is quite clean. Maybe a little too clean honestly, a pretty sterile vibe in there. Don’t sit inside and stare at the wall of celebrities eating their froyo, take a walk and sit outside in the sun!

This place is hit or miss.
It either is packed — or is missing flavours at many handles, or the exact opposite– it’s empty and all flavours, and there is no in between. Sometimes the machines aren’t working and no one seems to be there trying to fix it.

Of course it’s fun adding all the toppings to your yogurt, find it difficult to know when to stop — usually when the cup’s so full that any more stuff will be rolling off ;)
Yes, a bit on the expensive side but worth it; where else are you going to have your craving on campus?
Like the area around here, lots of light. Chic in a student kind of way.
free parking.

Aaaah the perfect location to enjoy the a bowl of Menchie’s Yogurt on a hot summer day. No crowds even on weekends (UBC students on holiday), abundant outdoor seating & quiet streets.

ayiyiiiiiii !

clean location, good product, yum

I’m splitting this review up into 2 parts…
First the frozen yogurt here is actually quite good. It gets a bit messy at times since it’s so busy, but you basically get unlimited samples so that’s definitely a great way to try all the flavours. The waffle bowls suck, however. Kind of pricey too, and isn’t really the same as other places like Pinkberry.
Second, the service here is great. There’s a nice girl who works there with red hair, she seemed to remember that I showed up one too many times in the week (I plead guilty to that). Clearly Menchie’s hires people who pay attention and care about its customers. They always welcome you, and if you sneak a sample of the toppings (no that’s bad, you’re bad!) they likely won’t call you out on it. Just don’t abuse it kay?

I adore this place. Great selection and taste. But I won’t be going back until they start offering reusable bowls and spoons to their eat-​in customers.

*14/​30*
Menchie’s is a great place for a sweet little break. The non-​fat fro-​yo makes for a nice, light treat (so long as you don’t overload too heavily on the toppings!), and the self-​serve aspect is quite fun. I’m definitely not saying that Menchie’s is «healthy» because most flavours are loaded with sugar and probably tons of other preservatives and stuff, but what dessert is supposed good for you? That’s the whole point — it’s supposed to be a treat, not something you eat after every meal. I do also love that there are both sugar-​free and dairy-​free options (and toppings). The only annoying part is that it’s deceptively expensive — about $ 2.50/100g. I must try and exercise self-​control next time.
This location has got a great amount of seating, a nice patio, great huge window-​doors (which they open fully when the weather is nice), and is nicely located in the south Wesbrook Village at UBC. Hurrah!
Extra bonus: take the spoons home with you, they are awesomely re-​usable.

I don’t go here looking for «good-​for-​you» food. I mean, one look at the extra things you can add to your frozen yogurt and you’ll understand this place isn’t for the people who want to eat healthy. The flavors are great, and they have a large selection. You can add tons of extra «sprinkles» and flavors on top. You pay by weight though, so be smart with what you add.

They don’t let you see their ingredients and I always thought that was strange… I knew they weren’t healthy and only posing to be.
Well sorry to burst your bubble, but this stuff is not good for you! Here are the ingredients for the original tart, or from the US called «Purely Tart» which you would think should ONLY consist of frozen yogurt.
Ya it tastes good, but that’s because there is MSG, and Corn Syrup.
Menchies should offer a better product and be honest to your customers.

It is nice to see the resurgence of frozen yogurt shops. This shop has a terrific location with a lot of outdoor seating.
Not being the most observant person, I didn’t notice the little paper cups for sampling until after I had already committed and filled my cup, d’oh! Because of the self-​serve design of this shop I was able to create a medley of five of their yogurt flavors. I think they had about 10 options to choose from. They only offer one large size cup, so it is only your self-​discipline which prevents you from filling it up to the top and having it cost you $ 10-​$ 15!
The are a huge variety of fruit, mochi, cookie, nut, candy and syrup toppings — no complaints here. Unfortunately, the weakness is in the yogurt itself — icy, sweet without the corresponding pop of flavor and somewhat watery.
This is my standard– bearer of frozen yogurt
. Menchi pales in comparison and for around $ 5 for a smallish portion, is not worth it in my opinion.

I have been here every single day since I discovered it. That’s four days in a row! And I’m not planning on stopping. Pretty sure i’ll be the queen of swirling frozen yogurt by the end of this summer.
I love frozen yogurt in general so when I discovered this place so close to my home I was beyond excited. Before this place opened the closed place was still at least 30 minute bus ride away. I’m glad their yogurt is actually really good. My favorite is definitely the «Original tart», in fact I have tried all the other flavours but never gotten anything besides the original tart.
I really like their set up where everything is self-​served and I can get as little, or as much, as I like and sample every flavour in the store without feeling like the staff is staring at me and pressuring me to buy. Staff is very friendly and helpful, I just love this place!

You can sample anything you want without feeling like you’re bothering the servers and being judged (or is that just me). Samples as well as your actual yogurt is self-​serve.
Yogurt here is on the sweet side. I liked the red velvet cake and cake batter flavors. This is a nice addition to Wesbrook Village.
