| - These Menchies are seemingly popping up all over the place, so we decided to take a walk through downtown Lakewood and check out this newest one.
The interior is sort of a J-Pop meets Star Trek explosion, almost reminding me of the late lamented Capsule in it's hey day.
After getting a quick run-down on proper Menchies procedure from one of the dozen or so super-friendly staffers, we made the rounds of the froyo pumps and topping bar winding up where we started at the weighing station(for the froyo -not customers)/register where we again basked in the glow of a billion smiles.
Maybe this is coming off as overly sarcastic, and honestly, I don't mean it to be. Other than being a bit crowded, which is understandable at an ice cream shop on a summer night, we had a really good experience. The variety of flavors and toppings was good (especially the red velvet yogurt), the service was friendly, and the space was clean.
At this point, there is certainly no shortage of spots for frozen confections in the Lakewood area, but I don't think Menchies is necessarily stepping on any toes, while my usual preferences lean away from chain establishments, Menchies, like the Five Guys next door, is one I don't feel bad about visiting.
