Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt

I wouldn’t recommend getting cakes from here.
1. Cake not ready at the day/​time specified.
2. Cake message looked like it was written by a pre-​schooler.
3. The writer ran out of space when writing «birthday» so tried to put the «day» part elsewhere on the cake. It ended up reading «HAPPY BIRTH (NAME) DAY.» I ended up asking him to wipe the entire message off and just leave it blank, as I couldn’t trust him to get it right.
4. After «fixing» the top of the cake, there was a big mess on the sides of the cake. By this time (30 min later) I just gave up and bought the cake as-​is.
Not to mention, he had stains all over his shirt. Very sloppy looking.
For a $ 30, 8″ cake, I’d expect more professionalism.

I think it’s a well known fact that frozen yogurt has curative properties. I sometimes find myself here from time to time with a friend, or three, where we spill the feels or contemplate life. There’s nothing like an orange creamsicle froyo littered with popping bobba to soothe the soul after an emotional purge.
The staff are efficient and sometimes friendly. Lots of seating inside and outside. They’ve got a good variety of frozen yogurt flavours and I’m sure you can find at least one you’d like. You can also sample them with the mini-​cups. Toppings are always stocked well. It’s great because if you’re a snacker like me you only pay for what you get because it’s based on weight. They also sell overpriced popcorn that you can add toppings to.

I was not impressed. The frozen yogurt did not have much flavour to them, maybe I chose the wrong ones. Peanut butter could have been better but was bland. Red velvet tasted like raw uncooked batter. Orange creamsicle was okay, but the flavour could have been more intense. Pineapple was actually pretty good, and the only awesome thing were the lychee balls. They were great little flavour explosions, the only thing I really enjoyed. A little pricey too, but probably my fault for using 2 dividers.

Perhaps I am having an off day, but after having a small mishap at Wonderpho (in the same plaza), my friend and I experienced another mishap at Menchies.
I wasn’t too keen on having the frozen yogurt, so I got popping boba (in all three flavors), and a few chunks of cheesecake. All of my toppings were fine, but containers of popping boba looked like they’d been sitting there for a while (the top looked a tad dry).
My friend had the nutella frozen yogurt, which, to my surprise, was quite good. It actually tastes like nutella, and not just like chocolate! She also had the peanut butter, which is my favorite. I took a spoonful, and it did not taste like peanut butter. She agreed that it was not at all like peanut butter. Upon letting the girl at the cashier know, I asked her if she could try it and tell us whether it was peanut butter or not. She said she could not, but that she would talk to her manager (?). She then went into the back, came out, put an out of order sign on the peanut butter frozen yogurt, then emptied the peanut butter frozen yogurt into a bucket. She did not, however, explain to us what was going on. For all my friend and I know, and this is totally just because she neglected to properly inform us as to what had happened, the frozen yogurt we had eaten was spoiled.
One interesting thing to note though, which seems like a fairly new development. They have a SPC (student price card) discount of 10% for carriers of the SPC.

Near the Rothman’s building, work team came here for someone’s birthday and had some celebratory froyo :)
The selection of flavour is underwhelming — nothing special or out of the ordinary. Purely Tart is definitely the best out of the non-​creamy ones :) The perfect froyo flavour that’s not overwhelmingly creamy — Red Velvet is good as well.
The regular Menchie’s franchise size — not too big or small, could be a hangout place if you happen to work near in the area. We were the only customers there. they also had froyo cakes at this store which I don’t always see at Menchies in other locations!

This location was very good when it first opened. I have been here several times over the past few months. Half there selection is always empty and the flavours left are often watery and runny. VERY disappointing!

It is a typical Menchie’s franchise and always a great desert or treat option. The frozen yogurt flavors changes regularly but always consistent quality.
Free parking and outdoor seating.

I’m a huge fan of Menchie’s, but this location really disappointed me.
This Menchie’s location is a lot bigger than many of the other Menchie’s that I’ve ever visited. Usually, you’ll only find a few tables indoors, but this location had maybe 15+ tables. In addition to that, they had a few tables outside as well. For such a large location, you’d think that they’d serve the same amount of flavors, if not more, but that wasn’t the case. The flavor selection at this place was very weak and it seemed pretty limited, compared to the other locations. The snackage section was only one rack deep, but the seasonal snacks were pretty standard and yummy (tons of popping bobas… theeeeee best!!!).
Service was very good though. There was only one man working and he was on the ball. Good on ya.
Anyways, I’ll probably be back.

The owner of this place is really cheap. There is currently a promo going on that offers free waffle bowls until June 18^th but this location just claims that they’re sold out all the time when I know that they used to offer the bowls before the promo. The waffle machine is even sitting in plain sight but the owner refuses to make any during this promo.
She was also reluctant to accept Groupon vouchers which further proves her cheapness.
AVOID this location at all costs.

I like the look and feel of the place. I am a sweet tooth and I like their cake batter and red velvet.

This place reminded me so much of 16 Handles here in NYC but better! You can get a little cup to sample all the flavors before choosing yours!
My fiancé’s mom’s coworker gave us 2 giftcards to this place after hearing that I’m a BIG fan of sweets (and she doesn’t want her kids to eat too much sweets — she got them party favors from her children’s classmates’ bdays)
Being there for the first time and looking pretty overwhelmed by all the stations, the girls at the counter happily came by and explained the concept and gave their personal recommendations on which flavors to get. Canadians are so nice: D!
I tried basically every unique flavors (cake batter, strawberry crème, pumpkin pie, eggnog, etc etc).
I ended up getting cake batter + pecan butter + strawberry vanilla crème with Mochi, cheesecake bites, and lychee boba. My fiancé’s brother got cake batter + mango sorbet with caramel sauce (weirdest combo). My fiancé got strawberry vanilla crème with cookie dough, mango boba and graham cracker crumbs. All that for less than 10 dollars. I couldn’t believe how cheap they came out. If we have gotten the same thing in NYC. it would have definitely cost more than 20 dollars.
Can’t wait to return in future Toronto visit!

i love the atmosphere, very cute and attractive to both adults and kids. they’ve got 12 rotating flavors available to choose from, and the best part is they have these little taste tests cups out for you to try before you decide on what you want.
the yogurt and toppings are priced by weight (doesn’t include the cup weight) and they also have a rewards pints program that build credit towards your future purchases, love it!
in almost all aspects i love menchie’s and would have given it 5stars if i hadn’t discovered top it yogurt at yonge and eglinton. the yogurt tastes absolutely amazing there and i would definitely recommend giving it a try when you’re in the area.

Always have cravings for menchies! For someone who hates regular yogurt, this place delivers when trying to be healthy and steer away from the ice cream (especially at cold stones). My favourite mix is the red velvet and cake batter. So delicious that you can’t believe it’s yogurt. They have plenty of toppings but I’m always weary about fruits being left out so I usually stay clear. It’s great how they have little cups for you to taste. The place inside is awesome and they have a great outdoor area that does get packed. It’s a good treat after five guys and a burger or dragon pearl… since I hate their dessert options

I love love love their tart– sour– sweet yogurt in Menchies!
When I first came in here, he guy in the cashier politely introduced me on how to grab my choice of yogurt. He told me that there are tiny white cups in the corner wherein I can try every single yogurt flavours that they are offering in menchies. i everything, vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, pistachio, etc and i chose the tart yogurts — cherry and original yogurt.
They also offer a variety of add ons to your yogurt like yogurt chips, sour worms, sour keys, gummy bears, graham, peanut butter syrup, kiwis, strawberries, blueberries, m&ms, and many more.
When youre done, all you have to do is place your yogurt cup on top of the weighing scale and the weight will determine how much you need to pay. They also have their points cards so dont forget to get one because I assure you, you will definitely come back again and crave for Menchie’s yogurt.
The only thing that i am concerned about is their use of hard plastic spoons — its not eco friendly cause you dump it right after you use it and its not helpful to mother Earth.
The location is busy most of the time but the staff still gets to clean the place at all times. I sometimes see the owner who looks very warm and down to earth as he is really kind to his employees.
*Too bad for the menchies mascot cause I saw him at scarsdale road trying to catch drivers attention to drop by menchies. It was really hot like 31 degrees and he’s all covered up with that thick yogurt outfit.

I always love Menchie’s Fro Yo for the flavours and toppings.
Parking here can be dangerous and confusing!
Sharing the parking lot with all these restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops can making find a parking space a frustrating experiences especially during perk hours. which for here is all the time!
Maybe, I need to park all the way at the back at Galleria and just walk over if I really want some fro yo!

You can’t go wrong with frogurt and adding toppings by weight. They had quite a number of different frogurt flavours here — including red velvet! However, I’m quite a purist and a traditionalist, and I ended up getting the original and the tutti-​frutti (also, I’m not a huge fan of chocolate tasting frogurts).
Toppings! They had many! Including popping boba! This was QUITE exciting.
In total, my frogurt was about $ 3.50 (I didn’t have THAT much). And it was absolutely awesome.
My friend and I went again the next day (scorching hot summery day), and enjoyed it on the patio.
Definitely a great place to hang out at.

Breaking the rules is sometimes exciting like speeding, cheating and wearing white after Labour day [1]
Breaking your dairy avoidance rule is a little less life altering, if not more bloat and gas inducing, but if you’re gonna break your lactose intolerance rules then by all means let Menchies do the honours.
Being the fro-​yo virgin I am (really) Menchies is like a foreign land to me. The décor is cute in a daycare meets candy store kinda way (?) Best way I could describe it is if My Melody and Willy Wonka had a love child, that kid’s living area would look like this.
Posters on the wall proudly announce Menchies revolving menu of over 100 flavours, but for this week the flavours were Choclate, Vanilla, Original Tart, Maple nut, Red Velvet, Cherry tart, Mango (non-​dairy) Pina Colada, Mud Pie and that’s all I can remember.
Hubby was all business and went straight for the Maple Nut, but I vacillated and let my inner 7 year old sample flavours with the wee shot cups before I settled on the tropically refreshing Pina Colada. Apparently, it’s better to load-​up on the sweet toppings like the brownie and cheese cake bits (heck they even had those freakshow fried egg candy things
) as cost is measured by weight, but the «healthy» sucka I am ended up with (dead weight) fruit and Bobas for my toppings. The «Popping Bobas» that Edwin has appropriately dubbed «like fruity salmon roe» were the highlight of my Menchies experience as the tapioca like fruit bubble toppings burst with sweet fruity juicyness and gave my tastebuds the lingual equivalent of an LSD trip.
Useful tip: Menchies offers up Kosher froyo flavours, so no need to kvetch.
Random tip: Saying the words «Sex & Bacon» (don’t ask) while conversating here will automatically earn you an evil glare from the disgruntled mommy sitting with her kids at the next table, don’t say you weren’t warned.
To wrap up, if you’re a fro-​yo ho, or a newbie, your sweet tooth (and dairy tooth) will looove Menchies.
[1] In no way do I encourage or condone said activities, as well as dairy intolerance negligence and to do so is at your own risk, besides this is a Unilocal review dammit!

Damn it. why did they have to open one so close to my work? I actually prefer good frozen yogurt over ice cream now, and Menchie’s is pretty darn good.
My standard mix is the Cake Batter and Cookie’n Cream. Unfortunately they rotate their flavours every so often, so I can never count on my favs being there for sure.
Anyways. this is a standard Menchie’s layout, look and feel. From LA to HK, its pretty much the same, all the way.

Menchies is an interesting, fun place to get some dessert. Self serve and by weight, it can get really expensive, really fast if you’re not careful. If you are sensible though, the prices are reasonable.
The flavours I’ve tried have been great. Red Velvet, Cake Batter, Cookies ‘n Cream. The addons are good as well.
I’m glad to see some frozen yogourt variety in Toronto.
P. S. Bianca A’s review is pretty lousy. She liked the taste, liked the layout, wished it was around when she was younger… but prefers Ice Cream so she gave them 2 stars. To each their own I guess.

The red velvet and cake batter yogurt tasted really good. Very clean and plenty of seating area. I‘m just not sure how it‘d be like in the summer.
Wish they had something like this when I was a little girl and I‘d be right behind the boys sticking their tongues out under the snouts as yogurt squeezes happily out in excess, fulfilling my brain freezing sweet tooth dreams.
I‘d still pick real ice-​cream (butter pecan in a waffle cone) any day, so 2 stars!
But if you‘re out for big flavor in a frozen yogurt treat, then this would take 30 mins off your daily run on that treadmill.
