| - I know 5 stars is for something that is your absolute favorite...but what can I say? I'm not a huge sweets person, so I was prepared to be a little unimpressed by Menchies since even Ben and Jerry's fails to make me swoon, but I thought it was absolutely terrific! They have about 10 different flavors out at one time, from coffee to peanut butter, and tart-y options like euro tart (vaguely tangy like sweetened yogurt) and blueberry tart, and you can try all sorts of things before committing to anything. And it's by weight and not size, so you can get as little as you want. For someone who can't handle a ton of yogurt/ice cream, this is perfect!
I ended up going with 5 oz. of coffee/peanut butter/cookies and cream mix, and it was just delicious. The cookies and cream was my favorite. The coffee was fairly strong and not super sweet, which was fine by me. My friend had been there 4-5 times, and got cookies and cream with a little chocolate and some caramel sauce--their toppings are impressive.
Overall, I just loved it--the funky presentation, the variety of flavors, the ability to pick your own, the tasting options, and the options to get just as much as you need (and did I mention cheap? I got out of there for about $2.50...how often does that happen for dessert??)
Luckily for me, they're right down the street from my house. I see a return visit in my near future!
