| - I saw a Menchie's while in Albuquerque and I remember hearing about them previously, also. I was sitting at work the other day and was on Yelp looking up ice cream places. This shop popped up and it was only about a 7 minute drive from work. It was 112 degrees out and I said to myself, "What could be better than some ice cream/frozen yogurt?" Probably not a damn thing in the world! I got in my car and drove on down.
I walked inside the place and a nice, friendly lady employee greeted me and asked me if I had ever been here before. I told her "No." and she ran me through the gambit. Self serve yogurt and toppings, pay by the ounce, frequent buyer club with bonuses for signing up on their website etc. She also told me I could sample whatever flavors I wanted to try. They have tiny dixie cup type cups behind the counter. You can just grab one and fill up a tiny scoop of yogurt (they are actually decent sized and you get a full bite of yogurt in each sample). The first one I sampled was "Twisted Cinnamon Churro". DAMN GINA! This stuff was delicious! It tasted just like a churro/cinnamon toast crunch cereal. I didn't even have to sample anymore (I did actually, but I knew I was getting this cinnamon churro flavor right away). I filled up my cup with half cinnamon churro and half regular chocolate. I then made my way over to their toppings bar. Tons of choices! I topped my yogurt with some chopped almonds, some graham cracker dust, some Heath bar pieces, and some Reeces peanut butter cups. I took my creation up to the register and paid the lady my money. It definitely wasn't cheap per say (almost $7.00), but I felt it was worth it. It was delicious and a perfect snack on a hot ass day! I will definitely be back!
Be sure to sign up for their "smiles" club. $50.00 (50 smiles) spent and you get a $5.00 certificate. If you sign up online with your phone number to receive specials, you get 25 "smiles" (half way to a $5.00 coupon already!). If you come back within a week of your first visit, you get another 10 "smiles". By the time you do that and buy 2-3 yogurts, you basically get one free. Can't beat that!
