Menchie’s September Promotions: New Flavors, Double Points, New Cups for The Wild Robot

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s is featuring two new froyo flavors in September.

Golden Cereal froyo made with Cap’N Crunch cereal is bright yellow, like the color of Cap’N Crunch cereal. It was also very icy. I think it’s the fault of the location, Menchie’s Mission Hills. Menchie’s froyo is usually not that icy. I tried a few flavors there and they were all icy. Maybe it’s because it was over 100 degrees, but I told the employees and they said the yogurt looked fine to them. It tasted like sweet caramel syrup. Golden Cereal froyo is lowfat and made with no artificial flavors and no high fructose corn syrup. Recommended toppings: nuts, Cool Whip, strawberries.

Yumm Bubble Gum froyo did smell and look like your classic pink super sugary bubble gum. I can’t imagine eating gum let alone a cup of gum-flavored froyo. I overheard a young child call it “gross” and I have to agree. Who thought of creating this flavor? Yumm Bubble Gum froyo is nonfat, gluten-free, and made with no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. Recommended toppings: I can’t think of any because this flavor is awful.

The featured flavors are available while supplies last, for a limited time only.

I also got the new The Wild Robot cups that promote an upcoming movie called The Wild Robot. The movie will be in theaters on September 27, 2024.

Menchie’s also had a back-to-school special with double points for app members who scanned the app on September 3 & 4.

Menchie’s New Featured Flavors, Vegan Salted Caramel Made with Almond Milk and Gourmet Chocolate Dipped Banana Made with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s has announced the first new flavors of 2021. There are two: Vegan Salted Caramel made with almond milk and Gourmet Chocolate Dipped Banana froyo made with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate.

I had to wait a few days in order to find the flavors in my area and I finally found them at Menchie’s Mission Hills (Los Angeles). Bananas are my least favorite food ever, so I’d much rather try Vegan Salted Caramel. Since most Menchie’s don’t seem to offer samples now (for safety reasons), I probably can’t try a tiny bit of Gourmet Chocolate Dipped Banana. I may not try it at all. I hate bananas so much that I couldn’t possibly like any banana flavored froyo or offer an objective opinion.

Vegan Salted Caramel made with almond milk: The texture seemed off – too loose, icy and not frozen enough. The caramel flavor was super strong – too strong for me. It seemed very sweet and very salty, like butterscotch with salt. Recommended toppings: Something to mellow out the strong flavor – Cool Whip, almonds. I would not add candy. I think it would be better with some vanilla froyo. 

Vegan Salted Caramel made with almond milk is dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and made with no artificial colors, artificial flavors or high fructose corn syrup. 

Be sure to use Menchie’s flavor finder (website, app) if you’d like to find the new flavors.

FYI, Menchie’s Burbank is now temporarily closed. It’s a good location, so I hope it reopens soon.

Menchie’s featured flavors are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Menchie’s Mission Hills Grand Opening on January 1

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s Mission Hills (10386 Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles, CA) is having its grand opening today. Mission Hills is a growing community just past Sun Valley on the 118 and north of Granada Hills. The new Menchie’s is part of a new shopping center called Olivo at Mission Hills. Other tenants include Target, Dunkin, Chipotle, Fallas, Wing Stop, Ross and Ono Hawaiian BBQ.

There weren’t many details about the grand opening that were revealed before the actual grand opening. The first 100 guests received a goody bag. This was a Menchie’s tote bag with a coupon for a free froyo, pen, information about the Matador Kids’ Club sponsored by Menchie’s Granada Hills, Menchie’s fun capsules toy, and a gift card to Kenn Cleaners. Anyone who stops by today can get 5 oz of free froyo.

The doors opened a little before 11 AM. I was surprised that Menchie wasn’t there (big NYE froyo party?) but Matty, CSUN’s mascot, was there to promote the Matador Kids’ Club. This shop is owned by the same people who own Menchie’s Granada Hills. I really like Menchie’s Granada Hills (great community involvement, clean, organized), so I have a good feeling about the Mission Hills Menchie’s.

Menchie’s Granada Hills is the main sponsor of the Matador Kids’ Club for kids 6-13 years old. Members receive free admission to CSUN athletic events, a membership card, Matador Kids Club Menchie’s t-shirt, enewsletter, etc.

There are 12 self-serve froyo flavors a day and lots of toppings (candies, cookies, nuts, coconut, sauces (including chocolate shell), fruit, popping boba, mochi, chocolate covered strawberries, cookie dough, brownies, Cool Whip, etc. It’s 50 cents an ounce. This location also has waffle bowls and froyo cakes. The sample cups are kept by the waffle making station.
