Yo, dudes and dudettes! This is Captain 619, the ultimate surfer, dropping in to give you the lowdown on Menchies, the gnarly yogurt shop in the scorching El Cajon Valley of San Dog. Let me tell ya, this place is like a hidden treasure that'll totally satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. Picture this: you stroll into Menchies and you're greeted with a rad selection of flavors and toppings. It's like a wave of deliciousness crashing over you, bro! You get to choose your flavor, pile on the toppings, and then they weigh it out. And when that cash register goes "cha-ching," it's time to dive in and savor the goodness. But here's the kicker, my friends. Menchies ain't your average yogurt joint. They've got some seriously unique flavors that'll blow your mind. It's like riding a wave of taste sensations, man! From exotic fruits to crazy combinations, they've got it all. And let me tell ya, every single flavor is a winner in my book. And hey, I can't forget to mention one last thing that my awesome chickie, chickie beach wife would totally agree with. The waffle cone cup at Menchies is out of this world, dudes! It's not just your ordinary cone, oh no. This thing is next level. It's chewy, crispy, and tastes like a massive fortune cookie. It's like a sweet surprise with every bite, and it's the perfect vessel for all that creamy, dreamy yogurt goodness. Trust me, dudes and dudettes, this waffle cone cup is a game-changer. It's the cherry on top of an already epic Menchies experience. So grab your board, ride the flavor wave, and don't forget to indulge in that mind-blowing waffle cone cup. It's a total winner, bro! So, if you're looking for a righteous spot to satisfy your sweet cravings, Menchies is the place to be. I'm giving this joint a solid five stars, dudes. It's like catching the perfect wave of flavor, and it'll leave you stoked every time. Ride on, my fellow flavor enthusiasts! Catch you on the sweet side! read more

I asked her isn't there anyone here working with you? I've never seen a store only have one employee. She didn't even have anyone there to relieve her for a bathroom break. The young girl worked hard and was very accomplished. I give it to Megan for not giving up. I would've walked out the door and told the manager or the owner to get down to the store and try operate all by their selves. Highly disappointed that someone would allow anyone to work there all by their self without any opportunity for a break. Her arm had to hurt, pulling all that frozen ice cream out and having to mix it with all the extra ingredients that everyone wanted. Most of the people in front of us were ordering a pint or more.

I took a few sips because I couldn't believe how bad it tasted, but it was completely undrinkable. It genuinely tasted spoiled, and now I'm worried that I may get sick from drinking it. What makes this even more frustrating is that I came in last week and noticed the freezer wasn't working. If the fruit or frozen yogurt that thawed out is still being used, that is completely unacceptable. Food that has not been kept at a safe temperature should never be served to customers. That is a serious health and safety issue. I paid for a smoothie that I had to throw away, and I would like a full refund. More importantly, if your freezer is still not working or your ingredients have spoiled, this location should not be open until the issue is fixed. No customer should have to worry about getting sick from a smoothie. I really hope this is taken seriously because this experience was unacceptable, and I don't want anyone else to go through the same thing.

This is the third Tutti Frutti to make an appearance at Parkway Plaza. Now I'm not sure why the first two folded up so quickly - a change in ownership, perhaps? Leasing problems or maybe the business just couldn't take off? Well, this time, they picked an open spot across from the food court, which makes it much more accessible to people jonesing for dessert. They had about eight flavors to choose from - I tried the mango, chocolate and strawberry ones. Funny they ran out of strawberry midway as I was pulling the lever. That has never happened to me in any yogurt place, ever! My niece had their espresso-flavored yogurt. Her feedback was good. OK, I've gotta give them props for their yogurt - they all tasted very yogurt-y, especially the tart ones. Now, the toppings - they have papaya. Odd choice, but I guess it works for some. Their mochi was tough, like it's been sitting out for a long time. Tough mochi? No bueno. And then it was time to ring us up. Two half-full cups at $0.39 per ounce = dun dun dun...$10.01. I wanted to scream "@%#! This is highway robbery!!!" See my picture for proof. Now I could get the same thing at Yogurtland for half the price. In conclusion, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this Tutti Frutti, and hope they stay afloat. I don't think I'll have their yogurt again, but I wish them all the best in this volatile economy ;)
