Meal: post-dinner snackMy thoughts:
I came here with a friend, with whom I tried to introduce to Menchie's for the second time now. (I'd gotten the address mixed up the first time.) Anyway, with my non-stop jabber and glorifying of Menchie's, needless to say, my friend was pretty excited to finally see what the hype was all about. (What can I say? What's not to love about a kind of healthy, self-serve, design-your-perfect-frozen-yogurt-sundae joint? Not to mention the staff/servers/cashiers are always really friendly.)
Anyway, although he did not finish his yogurt, my friend really seemed to enjoy eating the yogurt as much as he was impressed with Menchie's novel yogurt idea. He had mixed berry and caramel yogurt, and topped it off with banana chips, bobas (his first encounter with them) and maraschino cherries.
For myself, I had the green apple, cherry and original tart flavours (the tart flavours are - by far - my favourite.) The tartness of these flavours pair extremely well with heaping spoonfuls of crushed Oreo cookies and bobas, which of course, are sweet. Then, to top it all off, a maraschino cherry (or two). Heavenly...
Are you drooling yet? If not, I've included pictures of both our creations to help you with that :)
