Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s locations in the Los Angeles area took forever to put in this month’s featured flavors. I finally found both at Menchie’s in Encino. And they’re allowing samples again (yay)!
Chocolate Hazelnut Pie froyo is described as, “Our rich Hershey’s Hazelnut Pie froyo flavor is decadent, delicious, and the perfect dessert to start celebrating Thanksgiving early!” This lowfat flavor is made with no artificial colors and no artificial flavors. Also, it’s made with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate. It was creamy and smooth. I think the flavor is less intense/less rich than Nutella but I liked that it was more mellow. Recommended toppings: Chocolate shell, Oreos, almonds.
Cinnamon Graham Cracker froyo is made with Honey Maid graham crackers. Menchie’s describes it as, “Is there a better combo than cinnamon and graham crackers? Yes! Cinnamon and graham crackers swirled together as Menchie’s froyo! Order our featured Cinnamon Graham Cracker froyo flavor this month and enjoy the yumm!” It’s lowfat and made with no artificial flavors. I was a big fan of Menchie’s Golden Graham Cracker froyo, so I was excited to see a new Cinnamon Graham Cracker flavor. However, I didn’t like the new flavor. The cinnamon graham cracker flavor was too strong and the texture seemed almost a little grainy. Recommended toppings: Nilla wafers, Cool Whip, and almonds.
These featured flavors are in stores for a limited time only.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Fro-yo girl here. I hadn’t been to Menchie’s University in Encino, CA in months because of the coronavirus pandemic, but I like going to see what they’re testing. Sure enough, there was a test flavor, Cinnamon Graham Cracker. I loved Menchie’s Golden Graham Cracker flavor, so I had high hopes. Hmm, I did not like Cinnamon Graham Cracker though – it seemed too sweet. But it did complement the Pumpkin Spice with Nilla froyo.
I wasn’t thrilled that they offered flat rate pricing because you can’t get exactly what you want or control the quantity. I wasn’t feeling like having a lot of froyo but the smallest option (Small w/ up to two flavors of froyo and 1 topping) felt too large. They wrote in the corner or price by weight but didn’t mention that option to me. She assumed I’d get the flat rate cup.
I was surprised that Menchie’s University did not have any of the new Connected cups. Also, the sign on the side of the building looks like it caught fire? It looks awful. Why wouldn’t they fix or remove it? Menchie’s University shouldn’t look this bad.
Menchie’s recently launched curbside pickup, available through the Menchie’s app. However, when I launch the Menchie’s app, my nearest location doesn’t even have the current flavors listed, let alone offer curbside pickup through the app. I don’t see a way to place an order other than calling the shop – and if that’s the case, who needs the Menchie’s app to do that?
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
