I'm glad to be supporting the Yiddish community for their froyo creations. Is the place original? No! Is it different than Yogurtland or U-Swirl? Not really! So what makes it so special? The Smurf mascot AND the generous happy go-lucky owner from Hawaii.
I like places with a personal touch from the owner. It makes the visit a unique experience. That's on automatic 1 star bump in ratings in my book. When the owner goes around the table and ask what kind of toppings you would like to see Menchie's carry, that makes people feel special. So what if my request for beef jerky and chilli-pepper as toppings may not make the list, at least Chad (the owner) took the time to consider my opinion. BRAVO!
