good Froyo. They have good variety of flavors and toppings. Always very clean, and $5 Fridays are the best. I come here maybe once a week. Pretty damn expensive. I just think the girls should be a little more friendly. Other than that everything is great. read more

Food: I mean...it's frozen yoghurt. Yes, I spelled that with an "h", it's old English, what up? They always have a unique mix...not that I ever get anything other than chocolate or cookies'n'cream. Mmmm...chocolate... Service: I mean...its yoghurt. It's not like they wait on you or anything. It's been fine every time we come. Atmosphere: I mean...it's a yoghurt place. Not flashy but it fits the scene. Price: I mean...it's yoghurt. If it comes out too expensive, it means you piled it on too much dense stuff, like cookie dough and fudge. Try marshmallows, they are super light. Overall: I love Menchies, even though I should be trying to hold my sugar intake. I feel like frozen yoghurt is at least somewhat healthier for you...? Better than a deep fried Snickers I guess. I would rather have a Menchies than a birthday cake any day of the week. read more

A nice little gem of a froyo self serve shop. It was delicious-good selection of flavors, toppings, syrups etc. Also- cannot mention this enough- a good , solidy, heavy duty spoon! A+! We also got to sample a free slice of the froyo cakes. Which was nice-tasty. Only downside-the sugar free options-tastes awful I mean, I do not expect much,m but I have had some delcious sugar free froyo before-the ones here all tasted of overpowering fake sweetners! I would suggest a different variety/brand or none at all. Seriously, are people buying it? read more

Menchie's - Look at that spoon! Definitely a rinse and reuse quality. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - El Cajon, California

I love Menchie's and have been coming here for years but I'm giving it two stars because the girls who work here have a serious attitude problem. Not only did they make a mother wait outside in 90 degree heat with a newborn(mind you there was one family inside getting yogurt) they also stood behind the counter the entire time in a group and just talked. Didn't ask if anyone needed help or anything. Honestly beyond disappointed in the customer service I received. read more

Honestly think I came here everyday for two weeks once. There are at least 10 flavors and new ones every once in a while. I'm not going to say it's cheap, though, because it's not at all. They take yogurt mill coupons (which saves you a little) BUT you have to print them out. I went in once and showed them the coupon on my phone and they accepted it, however the next time they said they only take printed and the girl working was a bit rude about it. Overall I love this spot, the workers are USUALLY pretty chill, and I recommend it if you're digging some froyo. (Also they have sample cups out in case you're really indecisive like me and need help narrowing down your choices). read more

This is the Best of the Best All the time .... Any Time !!! Great team , gosh I NEVER seen a Grumpy work there They are so cheerful and they might even whistle while they work. Inside is so cute and always clean. And if that wasn't enough. Get this, they have the best specials no coupon needed On Mondays from 8 to 10 wear your PJ's or a crazy hat and get as much yougurt as you want for $5 bucks. On Friday from 9 to 11pm fill up your Menchie's cup for $5 no dressing up required!! Must visit this Location:) read more

The oddest looking menchie's I have ever been to. It is located in the worst shopping center and is free standing. It really didn't feel that safe or sanitary when I went in here not too long ago. Something just seemed off. They did have a $3 fill up for their mini 8oz cup during some random time but you have to be under the age of 12 or at least appear to be. Pretty sketchy area to be honest but I am not from around here. I doubt I would ever go back here especially after the sun goes down. read more

I wish this place was good. It's conveniently close to my house but honestly I'd rather go to Albertsons and grab a pint of ice cream. The flavors never taste like the description or they taste like artificial flavor. I've given it the benefit of the doubt and tried it multiple times but have come to the conclusion that I'll never go back. read more

Yummmy selection of yogurt! They have new flavors all the time and it is a little more innovative with candy such as fruit

Been waiting for this place to open in the old donut location for a while now. I was really excited and decided to stop in for a taste/purchase. Atmosphere: Really bright and colorful. Outside patio w/ seats is a great addition. Kind of small and fairly loud since everyone is enjoying themselves. Service: Okay service. Very helpful when you walk in. They wouldn't break $100 bill, but after we grabbed a card, they gave us a BOGO card which was acceptable. Food: Soft serve frozen yogurt with a lot of flavors, fruit and candy toppings and syrups (hot fudge!). Overall happy with the flavors. My gripe is the price. We paid $9.00 for two not even full containers. It's WAY over priced (Unless it's $ Friday)I'll stick to THE YOGURT MILL unless I'm absolutely craving a quick fix read more

ATTENTION FROYO GOERS: The FREE WAFFLE CONE day is A SCAM. They still weigh up your waffle cone and charge you a fee for it. I am letting everyone know that IT IS NOT FREE! read more

Menchie's is by far the BEST fro-yo shop in the East County. It blows Yogurt Mill and Golden Spoon WAYYYY out of the water. The store is always clean, the employees are kind and helpful, and the yogurts are yummy. Customers are offered as many samples as they need to find their desired flavor and there are so many toppings to choose from (candy, nuts, cereals, fruits, mochi, boba, brownies) and a few hot toppings as well. The girls will make you a waffle bowl too if you ask for one (HINT: waffle bowls are FREE on Wednesdays). There are 14 flavors to choose from (2 no sugar added, 2 dairy free, 2 tart, and 8 non fat or low fat). For anyone who says Menchie's is "too expensive"... that's your own fault. Menchie's goes on a price-by-weight system. If you make an outrageously large/heavy yogurt the price will reflect it, but if you have an ounce of will-power and can make yourself a regular sized yogurt with a few toppings the price is nothing to complain about. They occasionally hand out coupons in-store but they accept ALL COMPETITOR COUPONS and sometimes offer Groupons! The atmosphere is warm and child-friendly. I frequent the store often and introduce it to all my friends (they obviously LOVE IT!). I highly recommend Menchie's to everyone. read more

Man, this place is packed full of kids. It's like eating yogurt on a school bus or a stork's pick up zone. But if you are a collegiate high jumper, you'll probably have no problem clearing the mobs of children. I also feel like the jovial, wonky, cartoon lacquered atmosphere makes me feel like I'm in a nightmare. Too much pastel and anthropomorphism. It's like being in an R.L. Stine book. The yogurt ranges from okay to pretty okay. The flavors don't rotate as often as one would like, and there are some curiosities (a Smurfs flavor?), but it's basically your standard issue frozen confection. The prices aren't especially great, but they're still better than Pinkberry. If you can stand the crowds in order to shovel some decent yogurt down that frothing maw of yours, it's moderately worth the trouble. read more

Really good flavor, super clean, great customer service, a little on the pricy side if your not careful. Dulce de Leche is my fav flavor, cake batter is a close second. My kids love all of the flavor, and toppings. I am glad that this place is doing great, because it really is good yogurt. If it wasent as pricy I would give it a total 5 stars. read more

This place is TASTY!! But watch out because they are so popular that sometimes the line wraps itself around the building! Great variety of flavors and toppings! Only downside is they charge by weight, which is very common with frozen yogurt places, so if you are weighing it down with tons of toppings and what not you will be paying for it! The workers were all very friendly and the spoons are so stinkin cute! read more

Atmosphere wise is great, colors are vibrant and cool give aways for kids. Price wise if not for bogo it can get very pricey, I buy deals from either Entertainment Daily or Saveology. Service wise, its ok, not the greatest, I guess it depends on who is working but for the last 2 nights I have been, I have to say it was just ok. My complain is when I went last week and presented my coupon from my mobile phone I was told I had to print it out so I came back tonight with my printed deal and the girl that took it started saying that she wasn't sure if they take it anymore, bought the deal last week and it expires in July of this year, I made sure she knew that, that was kid of irritating to me. Not sure if I will go back to this place without a coupon. I can get a lot more for my money at some other yogurt place and it is as good or even better than this place. read more

Super expensive. And not the best options on yogurt. I hate the fact that I have to ask for a spoon to eat my yogurt

A family favorite! This place is really good, it's a Do it yourself froyo, all the favorites plus some rotating specialties. The employees are really nice and keep the place spotless, they literally come by the machines and toppings and clean up after each round of customers. I love that they have the sample cups out and that you don't have to ask for them, I usually end up trying 3 kinds before making a decision and most places give you two sample cups then you have to ask again for more witch I never do. I also like that they don't have signs all over the place telling you what to do and not to do like some of the others places. Menchie's just accepts that some people are dumb and rude and they take care of it without warning all customers with big red signs not to be dumb and rude by doing things like drinking strait from the yogurt machine.... The have some really good fresh toppings, but I feel like they could use some more, no heath bar, almond roca, mochi, or some of the other "usual's'. It's a little expensive but they do take competitors coupons and have a rewards program. Friday night is fill your cup for $5.00 from 9-11 PM, I've never made it but it sounds like a pretty good deal considering I don't quite fill my cup and it's around $7.00. If you take your kids and let them do their own it could easily be an expensive treat, so go alone or take them on Friday night! read more

We just drove all the way to that place because their hours showed as open till 11 pm on fridays, but they actually closed at 10 pm. The lady who works there didn't even know what the sign on their window said about the hours. I thought something like sticking to your own schedule would be basic for a business... read more

Love this place. We have been coming in for years on the last 2 months I've notice the girls working here (long blond haired white and Today's cashier ( African American girl with really long nails. I apologies for the vague descriptions. Either way both times we have been there we have experienced a very rude attitude. I understand Covid makes things hard for everyone but when your employees are 1. Aggressively telling u to put on gloves when you already have them and then assuming a horribly parked car belonged to you and asking you to move it . As well as not letting people throw their toppings on their yogurt. I understand not having a toppings bar for safety but the toppings are going straight to ones yogurt. No contamination but all that extra plastic is still being weighted . For being so strict and not letting customers prepare their yogurt this girl had no mask and no gloves . So isn't that ironic ? Anyways yogurts great service is bad read more

Yum! This yogurt shop has a lot of flavors to choose from, about 10 or 12. Lots of toppings, even fresh fruit. Very good quality yogurt. Service was nice, we were all greeted as we came in and they were helpful at explaining how it all works and which flavors are sugar-free and what not. You get to fill your cup with however much yogurt/toppings that you want, then you weigh it at the cashier. The having a card that is like a frequent buyer card, which is a plus. Lots of parking. Open late. The inside was very clean and the design was very cute. I will be coming back. read more

I have been here a few times and they had plenty of vegan options. Now. They only have 2 sorbets and staff have no idea of when anything will be back read more

Stopped for the first time with my 3 year old. Loved the $3 kids bowl until my child decided she wanted another flavor. I thought let's try a sample before we come back again and make sure she likes it. Employee tells me "sorry managers rule - once you have paid and finished you can't get a sample". Telling a mom you can't try a sample for a 3 year old is ridiculous. Will not come back until my child is older. Absolutely shocked me that I could not get a taste of another flavor for a toddler?! But then after reading the review about not taking a persons $100 bill and wasting their yogurt... I'm not surprised read more

This place is in the middle if no where. Great for the east county community I guess. I have to say this place is pretty clean. They don't have a start to finish line, so everyone swarms around like bees when they want a specific flavor or topping. My only issue is that they sell by ounce and charge extra if you eat in. Personally, I don't like places like that. read more

W00t! I got addicted to Menchie's when I worked in Carlsbad. I'll agree with another reviewer that it can be costly, but IMHO, it's better than Yogurt Mill, and I won't have to wait outside in a long line for 30 minutes just to get frogurt. If you join their frequent buyer club, you'll earn a free yogurt. I love it, I can't wait to go back. I love their fresh toppings and their peanut butter hot topping. read more

Menchie's is my family's favorite froyo spot. They always have unique flavors. My personal favorite is the black cherry ! They have a a great selection on chocolate flavored froyo. It's nice and clean and staff is always friendly. They even have a big chalk board for kids to draw on. read more

I was craving fro-yo, so I stopped by Menchie's. Apparently Wednesdays are Free Waffle Wednesdays so that was a nice surprise! I love the wide variety of flavors they carry at Menchie's.. Today I had a salted caramel flavor, creamy peanut butter, and toasted marshmallow. I even saw a honeydew flavor that I wish I tried. Anyways, service was great, and the location was very clean. I will definitely come back if I'm in the area! read more

Menchie's - New York cheesecake with caramel cups, fresh strawberries and hot fudge.....OMG!!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - El Cajon, California

Terrible customer service. Every time I come here for the kids happy hour I have to stand there and wait for a teenager who works there to turn around and notice my children and I to hand us our cups. It's a terrible layout. The registers are placed so they employees have their backs to the entrance. So that's part of the problem. There's no real experienced management on staff and the staff I've encountered are poorly trained at being friendly and kind. It's hard to teach. You either have it or you don't. Menchie's is great. Their yogurt is phenomenal. But this location needs a customer service face lift! read more

I just discover this place last week driving home from work! What a delightful place and what yummy flavors. This is a must have on a weekly basis! Where else can you get a Mochi topping for your fro-yo. Happy Girl I am to see so many different choices. Yes it's a little price if you go everyday. Took my hubby there for the first time this weekend and he is a big FAN also and this is from a man who doesn't like frozen yogurt treats. :-) Place is always busy no matter what time you go in there and the service is friendly. A definite must on the list for a weekly visit! read more

Very disappointing. Had a coupon so went. Upon arriving, a couple and their 8!year old were in front of us eating out o their cups while putting more yogurt them. They did this for about 10 minutes ! When we made the front counter girl aware , she just laughed and brushed it off. Very non hygienic. Especially with current events. We got our yogurt, expensive. Sat and ate while we we observed another couple with 2 children procuring their yogurt. Watched the dad licking yogurt from his cup while the older child, about 7, continued to touch all the spouts where the yogurt came out. Disgusting all around. The yogurt is over priced and not that good. Will never return. Beware. Not sure if these are franchises but the one by the beach is much nicer and the staff is much more aware of the patrons behavior. Bummer and won't go to any Menchies in the future. Maybe some training is in order for the staff. read more

we walked in and the two girls at the counter were chatting away. One named kaylin seemed so bothered to be interrupted. through whole visit she made us feel uncomfortable. I seriously was going to not pay and leave my yorgurt at the counter. The other girl name evelyn or elaine was sort of helping but the mixed race girl was rude, she needs to go. I called to try to speak to a manager but she was not in the two times I call. read more

They have a ton of toppings, but the yogurt is average and the price is outrageous. A cup (one size only) filled with a little toppings was nearly ten dollars. The same size yogurt is half the price as my go to yogurt spot. Never again. read more

Just opened today! What a treat. Family friendly, bright atmosphere. A great addition to East County. Lots of yummy choices; it's fun to serve yourself just the amount of each flavor that you want. I'm not a topping person, but I looked, and I can tell you that they had so many choices what ever your favorite is must be there. read more

This place is fab! I love the location near the freeway, I like to stop by and have a yummy treat while I chill in passenger seat :) join their club and get a free birthday yogurt and points towards free yogurt . Fridays after 9pm it's only 5 bucks for all the yogurt and topping you can fit in the cup. read more
