Fro-yo girl here. The Menchie’s in Santa Monica at 2091 Ocean Park Blvd. was listed for sale for over a year. It was closed for a long time during the pandemic (I thought it had closed for good) but it finally reopened with a new owner. And now The Yogurt Shoppe has moved in. This is the third location for The Yogurt Shoppe; the first opened in Pacific Palisades and the second in Brentwood.
I was surprised to see that the place not only still looked like Menchie’s but still served mostly Menchie’s froyo. The Yogurt Shoppe just opened yesterday and still has Menchie's machines, cups, spoons, froyo, toppings, signs, etc. They will remodel/renovate but it hasn't happened yet.
It's self-serve and $0.79/oz. There are 14 flavors a day, sauces, and toppings (e.g., fruit, popping boba, candy, nuts, marshmallows, sprinkles, cookies, cheesecake, etc.). I imagine they'll offer prepacks in the freezer that they have on site. I found sample cups by the froyo machines. They had some of their own flavors including a creative one, Gatorade.
I think things will get even better once they bring in more of their own flavors and give the place a makeover.
Menchie’s Ocean Park first opened in 2011. Menchie’s still has a location in Santa Monica at 732 Montana Ave, though it's been for sale for months.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
