Menchies

This place was really good.
I love coffee flavor and their coffee yogurt was fabulous!
They even had cappuccino crunch and chocolate covered espresso beans for the top!
Yum. I was in heaven.
I also had cheesecake and milk chocolate. Very good flavors as well. I like how the topping station is set up.
It can get a little crowded and chaotic in there– so bring your patience!
Overall, great yogurt. $.44/​per oz. love it!

I drive by the street so often that I never noticed it till a friend invited me to some frozen yogurt.
You see… I have several weaknesses… One of which is ice cream/​gelato/​yogurt. Menchies is consider a relatively new ‘concept’ of satisfying my weakness. The usual Cold Stone after a movie while in college, Ben & Jerrys — my two most faithful rebound men, Baskin Robins — do they still exist?, and now Menchies. How can I possibly rate it anything lower than a 4?!
The concept is simple: They give you a cup (more like a «gotta have it» cup size from Cold Stone) and you fill it up with anything to your little heart’s desire.
There are about 10 – 12 different yogurts, over 20 different toppings from sweets to chocolate to fresh cut fruits to marsh mellow syrup. You can mix, build your sweet tower of imagination creation at about $.44 cents an oz.
It’s definitely worth the visit if you have absolute no shame or guilt of having a sweet tooth.

I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt and decided to try this place despite the reviews since it’s close by. All I have to say is YUCK! The original flavor tasted like spoiled milk. Everything else tasted like soft serve ice cream (as another reviewer had mentioned). First time as well as my LAST time there. Frutti Tutti FTW.

Okay, I have yet to write a bad review, but holy moly, Menchies!
I decided to give Menchies a try based on my friend’s recommendation. I guess she did tell me not to get the original flavor because it wasn’t «good,» but whatever, I figured what she meant was that it was just «okay.» Besides, I was in the mood for tart froyo, original is my fave flavor, and I spot a Menchies along the way so I gave it a shot. Looked like most yogurt places, had a lot of flavors, had a lot of toppings, so far, so good…
Got a sample cup, filled it with some original tart froyo, so far, pretty smooth.
Then the worst thing happened. I sucked the froyo into my mouth and OHH my goodness. I broke out a super quick MJ spin to face the back wall so no one would catch my gross uncontrollable sour gagging facial expression. I don’t normally spit things out, but I really couldn’t get myself to swallow whatever the funk that was and I didn’t want to turn around and look for a napkin because I could already feel the yogurt spewing out of my mouth. What happened after that is a blur because I really don’t know what happened. All I know is that I must be one spoiled Yofo. Menchies, your other flavors were okay, but you MUST fix the original flavor. This is a must!

If you are craving fro-​yo and are in the area check it out. It’s neither amazing, nor horrible– just okay. Its also a bit overpriced and overrun by teenagers who are loitering around by the dozens, but its not bad on a balmy summer day.

I waited until my third visit to Menchies to write this review. If I wrote this after my first visit I would’ve given then 4 stars. I judge fro-​yo places by their original tart and on my first visit Menchies was awesome. The second visit was pretty good too, so I was starting to think that Menchies would be my new favorite fro-​yo place.
It was too good to be true, I went Thursday night and was thoroughly disappointed! What did they do to the original tart?!? It was down right funky! =P It had a citrusy carbonated taste to it… as if they put ginger ale and orange juice in the mix with the fro yo ugh! Out of four of us that went, only two ate fro yo that night. For now I give Menchies a 2.5. I’ll try it one more time before I totally dismiss it. I hope Thursday night was just a fluke~ we’ll see…

This a like any other yogurt place, only they sell the company too, in the form of cute bracelets, charms, plushies, silly bandz, and necklaces.
Picky picky:
definitely Americanized frozen yogurt, meaning no taro or green tea flavors, and no toppings like mochi.
toppings:
you have a mini-​chocolate candy shop, and some fruits (kiwi, strawberry. pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, with more candy and granola/​cereal off to the side). To the utmost right, there are liquid toppings like caramel, chocolate, marshmallow.
*Going to be picky here. The blackberries were all smooshed, and berries rot easily so that made me an ansty pantsy. But I still went for them.
yogurt:
original: tart, but not as much as Pinkberry
sorbet: really good, my favorite was the kiwi strawberry
all the rest: tasted so creamy, I thought it was soft serve.
(selections include cappucino, cookies and cream, pumpkin, NY cheesecake, standard vanilla, chocolate, french vanilla… etc)
Favorite: cake batter
Price: 44 cents an ounce, more expensive than other yogurt shops
Ambience: green, white, minimalism. There’s a chalkboard to draw your creations.
Cleanliness: 100%, YUMMY
Service: Not a word spoken, except for the price and thank you. Hardly enthusiatic teen. Froyo novices might be a little confused.
My creation?
Cake batter yogurt, with raspberries, blackberries, strawberry pop rocks (tasted a little stale), raspberry chocolates, nuts, and marshmallow topping.

Recently grabbed hold of the fro-​yo kick. I’ve been to yoguri in Athens (which I found to be a bit tart), and Yofuria. This place is mediocre at best. They have tons of toppings (mostly unhealthy), and not that much fresh cut fruit to choose from. My bf and I split moonlight vanilla fro yo with kiwis, strawberries, and granola toppings. The fruit was not that fresh, and the yogurt did not have as much flavor as yofuria. Prices are comparable to other froyo places throughout Atlanta/​Athens areas. You self serve flavors of fro yo that you choose and then get as many or few toppings as you please and it’s priced by weight. I don’t see myself having a craving to go back there ever again with so many better tasting froyo options out there.

Meh. With the recent surge of froyo places popping up all over Atlanta, this is just another knockoff and not a very good one. the yogurt is not as tart as other chains and fruit toppings are abysmal! they only had sour kiwi, strawberries, bananas, and canned pineapples. where are the blueberries? raspberries? and they weren’t just short on fruit, but where is the mochi? legit places have mochi. and since Menchies did not, they are not legit in my book.

Self serve everything! From the yogurt to the toppings galore, you get to do it all! In other words Heaven for me. My concoction consisted of cake batter yogurt, sprinkles, chocolate chips, raspberry, cookie dough, and strawberries… yes I know it sounds disgusting, but no it was oh so good. Of course I inhaled my masterpiece before anyone else in my group finished, and I def. wanted to get seconds, but I didn’t and now I’m starting to regret that decision

Eh, I hate to be a naysayer, but…
Just another TCBY chainy idea that lures the loitering teenagers by the dozens. Another ambitious attempt at reinventing the wheel. Great if you’re fifteen and wanna hang out withOUT your mom, but if you’re going for flavor, go to Bruster’s. Screw the calories, they are well worth it. Menchie’s is nothing new, unfortunately.

A big hit with the kids and the whole family!
Yummy fro-​yo with unique flavors like cake batter, red velvet cake, root beer, peanut butter, etc. TONS of candy and delicious toppings. Yogurt is healthy and full of live active cultures. Best thing about the place it is kid-​friendly, kids can taste all they want before deciding on flavor, saves mom a head-​ache!
Plus they do birthdays. This is a real winner in delicious treats for the family!

I went here last week because I was craving something cold and frosty. Boy, was I surprised! This place rocks. Too bad they don’t have more locations in the area because it’s an amazing idea! Menchies is like your candy store where you load up your ice cream cup with creamy goodness and then add as many toppings as you want. You then pay per ounce at the register.
Love it here. My favorite are the mini mochi ball toppings! Mmm… chewy goodness!

Fun place to sit and chat over a big cup o’ frozen yogurt with toppings. Good things usually have a downside none of which are horrible, but hopefully they will get their footing and improve in these areas:
–teenage staff a little nervous around customers and need to have someone catching the first timers ie. the ones with the deer in the headlights look
— staff not diligent in the clean up area
–lots of flavors but thanks to the testers only 2 – 3 are close to their namesakes
–nervous about not having any idea what the yogurt weighs. Would be nice to have a scale at the topping station

Ok I don’t know why I really liked this place the first time. Probably because I didn’t look at the cut fruit selection to top my yogurt. I took a look today and I almost didn’t want yogurt anymore. It looked like the fruit was cut and thrown into a container by a bear. Maybe that’s the fault of swarms of people coming through all day, but why on earth would you not want to have better quality stuff sitting out there?
The original tart flavor is not particularly as tart as I would think it should be, and the raspberry is way too sweet. I was craving tart yogurt so this makes me a sad panda.
And unlike last time, which was soon after they opened, all the employees just seemed to be clustered together at the checkout. When I was done, only one was there and she was staring off into space while my yogurt is sitting there on the scale.
I like the options and all, but it’s such a tiny space that’s constantly full of people, and the service really isn’t impressive at all.
One improvement though: this time around the yogurt was far more solid, but «meh, I’ve experienced better» pretty much covers it. There are so many options for yogurt to settle for this.

I’m addicted! Came back here again to introduce my husband to Menchies. He wasn’t as excited as me. This time I tried the peach, chocolate cake, and chocolate. Some other flavors were original tart, mint, raspberry, strawberry kiwi, and vanilla. Another thing is that there are labels to let customers know if it is low fat, non fat, and gluten free. I know that I will probably be there again this weekend, so I’m going to have to try the rest of the flavors!
This time I got the red velvet (very watery) again and chocolate. My husband got the white chocolate macadamia nut. No toppings this time around and it was still around $ 3.50 for half the cup. They also have waffle bowls that you can fill up with the yummy goodness. I wish they had cones.
Beware… this place is packed with teens!
Menchies is located in the shopping center next to Stoney River.

This place lets you taste try each frozen yogurt to see which to pick which is great since there are so many to choose from. They also have a lot of toppings (fruit, candies, etc.)
FOOD: I had the chocolate yogurt with mochie and Oreo cookie crumbles. Very good! Keep in mind that you pay per ounce so be aware of the topping overload.
TIP: I don’t know if paying per ounce is better/​cheaper than paying a flat fee.

Menchies is a new frozen yougurt spot right on Medlock Bridge Rd.
I tried this place for the first time last week. It was really good! It is also very close to my office, which makes this a great spot for lunch.
They have many different flavors, my favorite is the peanut butter and the red velvet cake. Many of the flavors are fat free and low fat.
They have a good selection of dry toppings, including granola, yogurt chips and nuts.
The only thing that was lacking is the selection of fruit.
This is very similar to other frozen yogurt places in town.
I would definately recommend giving it a try!

This is a self-​serve frozen yogurt store that reminded me of Yogurtland on the west coast. They had a variety of flavors when I visited: peanut butter, tart, green tea, vanilla, milk chocolate, peach, mango, pistachio, cookies and cream, mint… That’s all I can remember. There were more. They had a variety of fruit toppings, as well as dry toppings, and hot toppings (like fudge, marshmallow, caramel… etc.).
After you get your frozen yogurt and the toppings you want, you place it on their scale at the cashier and pay. They charge 44 cents for an ounce.
The place was pretty packed on a weekday night. I guess their business is off to a good start. They said they hope to open twelve stores in the Atlanta area in the next two years.
Overall, I’d go back now that there a self-​serve yogurt place nearby. This place will do the trick when I’m craving for something sweet and don’t want to feel guilty.

Ah, another Fro-​yo place… I’ve been waiting for more of the make-​your-​own froyo places to come to the Atlanta area, so I was excited to see one was opening here.
The pros: Menchie’s is a chain frozen yogurt place where you make your own dessert with different toppings. At the end, they weigh it. It’s nice if you are like me and can’t decide what flavors or toppings to get. Here you can just make whatever you want. It is pretty fast, reasonably priced, and they carry a large selection.
Cons: It doesn’t really top the charts when it comes to frozen yogurt places. The yogurt is a bit too melty compared to their competitors and the toppings aren’t consistently fresh in the fruit department. My yogurt is always half liquid by the time I sit down to enjoy my dessert. The flavors, esp. orignal plain doesn’t match up with their competitors either. The other detractor is that clean-​up is lacking. (I’m hoping that will change)
The place doesn’t seem to be lacking in patronage. They easily have a full store on any given evening. Good for them!
This place has promise but it doesn’t measure up to the more well known Fro-​yo places. Great concept — lacking in execution. (My favorite chain do-​it-​yourself yogurt place is yogilious in Dallas — Great fresh fruit selection and better yogurt)
