| - The FRO-YO invasion has hit York Region. With many new players coming to the table its hard to decide where one should fill their cup (or cone). For my money when I gotta get my frozen Yoghurt much-on...I head over to Menchies.
From the moment you walk in the atmosphere is electric. People are laughing, gasping, and crowding around the DIY stations like herds of health conscious cattle. Although the crowds are thick come evening, the process moves along quickly.
I went with my brother a couple weeks back and the whole experience was almost as entertaining as the end product was delicious. For those who haven't been, here is how it works:
1) Line up and grab a cup OR ask for a delicious, freshly made waffle cone
2) Choose from one of 10-12 unique flavours of FROYO (they even have some kosher options for the chosen peoples) - don't be shy, mix and match as many flavours as you like
3) Choose from any number of toppings (fruit loops, gummy bears, banana chips, fruity bubble bursts, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc......I'm not kidding there has got to be at least 100 toppings to choose from)
4) Place your mixed monstrosity on the scale at the cash and marvel at the cost of what a quasi-healthy fat attack costs
If the above wasn't enough on its own to entice you to MENCH it up, know that all the hottest celebrities eat at Menchies ... maybe not this busy suburban location, but Menchies has chosen to decorate their walls with Paparazzo style photos of celebs from Shia Leboef to Justin Bieber enjoying a FROYO treat at their other popular locations.
Lastly, for those interested here is what my brother and I enjoyed that night:
