Great place on a hot summers day! Sorbet is delicious and the toppings really help get my sugar fix. Ms. Riley behind the counter is excellent, incredibly polite and socially apt, will be returning! read more

If I had to be honest, I would rate this location three out of five stars. Their hours are really bad. They close at 8 PM which is nowhere near when you should stop serving frozen yogurt. It makes me have to drive all the way across town just to get froyo at 8:30pm. Also, I really don't like how you have to select a tip or skip it before you can finish your payment. We are already paying a premium for self serve frozen yogurt. Guilty someone into leaving even more money on top of the high price is not a great feeling. The owner seems nice and the employees are always super friendly. I just wish they would update their hours to be more aligned with other local shoppes and didn't force a tipping option prior to paying. read more

This Menchies was amazing! What made it exemplary was the employee, Zach. He was so kind, helpful and an absolute delight to my young grandson. The entire time we ate our yogurt, Zach was cleaning every machine screen and when anyone used the toppings area, after they left, he went over and made sure it was spotless. The yogurt was delicious, my only wish is that they had Dolce De Leche more often. read more

Came in to get some yogurt at 7:55 all the lights were on and it seemed kinda open but the doors were locked. Online it states open until 9pm we kinda waited around and someone came out to talk to us. We asked if he was open he said no and I told him what's listed online. He said that when "it's slow" they close early. While we spoke another customer came. He turned all 3 of us down in the duration of us being there 5 customers came. We then went to yogurtland 8 min up the road and a line out the door. read more

Mmmmm FROYO!!!! Me and the kiddos love frozen yogurt, definitely a healthier option than ice cream. Taste: as shown in the pictures there is many options, they do rotate flavors somewhat often but most of the favorites will stay. My favorite is pineapple dole whip My daughter likes cookies and cream with Oreo topping. OH YEAH... there is toppings!! Cost: it averages out to about 6$ a cup Cleanliness: everything is always spotless in here! Never have a problem with the cleanliness. Service: It is self serve, but when asked they will help you with any questions. Very friendly Side note: They have some cakes and tubs of froyo you can take home for laters cravings! read more

Its located in a strip mall with plenty of parking, we stopped by on Friday evening and they were running a weekend night special all you can fill into a cup for only $7 toppings included, they had several flavors to choose from but the place could use a deep cleaning and friendlier staff. read more

Food: Today there were three 3 chocolate flavors, three 3 tarts & several fruit options! All fab Service: Self serve w/safety products available, gloves disposable mini-taste cups.

Closed early on the hottest day of the year . The other frozen yogurt place was packed cause this one was closed.

Manager showed nothing on the sign to specify which cup had to be used for th child special and then refused to honor the special. When I asked for the number for corporate she said she didn't have the number and offered no avenue to complain. She virtually knew nothing. We have used the same exact cup for prior specials. read more

New owner, new employees and everyone is SO nice! We've been coming here with our daughter since it's grand opening when she was little and it is her favorite. With the recent change we have loved each new employee we have met, all so friendly and helpful. read more

Her family loves coming here together. It's a cute little place with a great selection of yogurt. I think it's fantastic that they still let you sample. It makes the whole experience so much fun trying new flavors. The staff is friendly and kind and the establishment is nice and clean. Plenty of parking out front and even tables outside. read more

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt - Soooo gum-believably good! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Mesa, California

Zach was the best! Greeted us with kindness & shared the book reading rewards program with my daughter!

The only cashier Katie was so efficient got a whole long line of people taken care of so quickly and was so friendly and helpful it was very impressive..she was extra nice to our daughter and it was very appreciated...we are way more likely to come to this place with Katie working than some of the previous experiences we have had here!!! read more

The young man that was opening was 10 minutes late and not particularly nice.... After us a young woman came in , got her yogurt and was ready to pay and she had to go find him. Not the first time that this has happened read more

The young man working at the front needs to go. All the times I've been in when he's working he is never at the front counter. So I have to wait for quite a while... then he appears from the back, dragging his feet to the front, staring at the ground, no eye contact, doesn't say a word, Zero customer service. Sweaty, dirty looking obnoxious, "bro". Please hire someone else Menchie's read more

Terrible business with terrible staff. Reviews never get better. Had a friend work here and received not a single 10 or lunch and he worked several 7-8 hour shifts. This place needs to shapen the hell up read more

We arrived after 8pm on a Friday night, and it was not too busy. It's been years since we have been to Menchies, but it still is as good as I remember. This is a self-serve yogurt Cafe. Grab a cup or cone and then choose from a wall of yummy and creamy yogurt as well as sherbet flavors. You can have a single flavor or go wild, mixing your favorite flavors. Yogurt flavors change often, but they always have the staples of chocolate and vanilla. But your yogurt creation doesn't have to stop there - step up to the toppings bar and add even more flavor and texture to your dessert. Nuts, crumbled cookies, brownies, fruit, syrups, etc. Then check-out with the friendly cashier who will determine your cost by the weight. This location is small but still offers several tables both inside and out to enjoy your yummy creations. read more

After my first and LAST visit at this location I was appalled. The cashier, Zachary was not present in the front for nearly 20 minutes. After taking care of me and getting my stuff charged with 0 customer service, using words like "bro", he left the store while customers were eating and was just hanging out. I decided to read up on the reviews and seen the same employee, it is clear Zachary has a disgusting track record of being perverted towards minors and young girls. This location is terrible and I would never recommend to my worst enemy. Beyond disappointed. read more

Zack was very friendly and very helpful! Going with a toddler is never the easiest but Zack made sure we were taken care of! Thanks again Zack! Appreciate the great customer service since it's very far and few between you get to experience good customer service these days. read more

On 2/6/26 went in for froyo and witnessed the poor worker standing by the front door have to deal with a very upset customer. Not sure what the dude was so upset about but the worker took the time to try and calm the situation down and then had to step away before the guy tried to escalate it. Insane behavior but good work on the workers end who seemed to be pretty young. He was so good about handing out cups and being professional. Will be returning because he made it a pretty good environment! read more

I think it's funny how they always ask for tips when it's self serve. Whose idea was that because it's terrible.

The place is IT, for anyone looking for frozen yogurt in La Mesa! It's clean, parking and seating are both great! Visiting from out of state stopped in with a group and had a great experience! Family owned and operated, highly recommend!!! read more

11/1/25- There's a guy always working, dark hair, beanie- you'll recognize him. I think he truly enjoys not being good at his job. I felt bad for him, when I went in there a while ago and I saw a customer filming him, but now I get it. Ive gone in and asked to order a cake and he said they fired their cake person- it was a lie.. there were cakes in the freezer but whatever, I just went to Rancho location.. I doubted he would even put in the order. Someone today asked for a sample cup and he said, which one do you want to try, and they said, orange, and he replied - have you had a creamsicle, it's just like that. We go in enough that I think his mom is a manager or owns the place, but she is the one that makes the cakes. I think he should really find a new place to work because obviously this job is doing nothing for him. He actually trained someone else, another boy, and he seems to have adopted his attitude. But we like Menchies and the yogurt ice cream is good. Just don't expect a happy or helpful person when ordering from there. The females have all been normal, kind people, thankfully, but I cringe when I see him, as I know it'll be an unpleasant interaction. read more

When my husband and i have our sweet cravings, Menchies is our go to place. The service is wonderful and ambiance is perfect especially on a hot summer night. Thank to Isaac tonight, he was sweet to our puppy bear. Thank you! read more

I am honestly so over this place. It's literally a 50/50 chance of whether they will be open when you pull up. Their posted hours are never honored and it's honestly so frustrating. The place is very obviously franchised by a family, which makes sense why there is literally no improvement whatsoever despite the tons of negative reviews and borderline pedophelia. If you are basically never open at the times you say you are, why do you have hours posted? Makes zero sense. I've lived in this area for 2 years and I'm not kidding, probably 7/10 times that I go there, they are not open. The old woman who works there is rude, presumably the mother, and her son Zach is creepy. Their fruits never look fresh and when you ask them for the $7 fill up they act like it's coming out of their personal pocket. Why do you advertise it if you are going to be rude as hell when people ask for it? I'm so sick of this place. Went up the street less than 3 miles away to golden spoon and it was fabulous and cheaper. Will be going here moving forward. read more

Very uncomfortable experience, the employee Zackary kept making weird and inappropriate comments to minors, one comment regarding a minors body!! He also went up to younger girls in line (around 11-13 years old) and continued making creepy comments and offering their yogurt for free. This is weird!!!! read more

I try not to post poor reviews because every business is entitled to a bad day. I hope this was the case for this location. Ok: Here we go. 1. how is it possible to not have any chocolate? It's one of the primary flavors. I grabbed NY cheesecake and was near where the chocolate used to be. I could see the grates. There's not a sign so I tried it and gross milky water came out. ( dumped it) I decided on the NY along with the peanut butter and for a treat the crumbled Kit Kats 2. If you're going to have toppings, they need to be fresh. these were stale. Frankly, probably the reason I'd prefer for toppings to get added by the staff. I have to imagine that not everyone follows the rule of using plastic spoons to get toppings. 3. The flavors were not very good. Both were sweet and that's about it. Two stars are generous when not getting something delish read more

My sister called me and told me she had a extremely uncomfortable visit. She declined free yogurt, and the man followed here to her car on the way out and parked next to her, she called me crying and how scared and weirded out she was after , she will never return ! read more

AMAZING! Been going here since a little child. I love it. Staff is nice. Clean, affordable, lovable. THE BEST FRO YO EVER.

Zack made our visit to Menchies even better. Since it is self serve, he did not just stand back, he came over and shared his favorite flavors and toppings and even suggested a mix that turned out to be perfect. It felt like getting insider tips from someone who really knows and loves the product. His energy made the experience fun and his recommendations gave us ideas we never would have tried on our own. Zack adds a personal touch that makes Menchies feel more than just a yogurt shop. read more

Great Menchie's location! Super clean, friendly employee, and lots of fresh toppings. The yogurt flavors were delicious and everything was well-stocked. Definitely coming back! read more

The guy that worked as a cashier 11/1/25 at 3pm was super rude. Not only was he rude, I waited in line for 7 minutes while he was in the back laughing and chatting with people. When he finally came out to ring me up, no apologies. He seemed so annoyed to be doing his own job. Once he rang me up, he went straight back to the room and continued his good time. While doing that, the place had a bunch of customers sitting in the shop. read more

The service here is honestly impeccable. I got to give props to the worker Zack, he always has a great attitude whenever my family and I visit Menchies. Not only that I've been to so many Menchies and this is the only one who's food is good quality. read more

It is a great location with plenty of parking spots! They provided some little cups for customers to try out different flavors which was really thoughtful! I loved that they put the calories on each flavor's sign, and the flavors were all really good!! We had some coconut and raspberry ice cream with mochi, strawberry balls and cheesecake pieces for toppings! They also sell big pints of ice cream and cake as well!! There were 12 ice cream machines but only 9 were working, and the topping area was a little messy and many options were out but no one refill it. read more

Food: chocolate frozen yogurt for my daughter with Kit Kat sprinkles and brownies. Service: when we walked in there was no one there, not even an employee at the counter. We just started to help ourselves, then eventually an employee came to the counter. Ambiance: everything was clean and all the toppings full. Parking: large shared lot in plaza with Starbucks and Round Table Pizza among other shops. read more

We really like this Menchie's. It's close to home and hasn't caused any disappointment. There has always been a flavor we enjoy and they seem to switch them up enough to feel there is a good variety. The fresh toppings can sometimes be a bit limited, but this is likely due to what is in season. The owner is very sweet. You can feel that he cares about his customers and they have good specials throughout the week. It's sad to see so many people who have had poor experiences here. Hopefully things have turned around and they give them another shot. read more

The guy with the beanie made me uncomortable while i was getting my frozen yogurt he was staring me down the entire time and i left.

I along with several girls from our water polo team had just come back from a game and we're extremely excited to go and celebrate by getting frozen yogurt, but instead of the shared happiness and team bonding we instead we're greeted by a disgusting and vile comment towards one of our teammates. One of our teammate was wearing a parka and underneath had her bathing suit top a sign at the door, said "no shoes no shirt no fro" so we joked saying that she would not let in one one of the employees named Zachary, who had been handing out bowls to people in line since it was a buy one, get one free day and was already acting quite strange commented on my teammates body who is 16 years old and said "oh with a body like that you don't need to cover up" this obviously made my teammate, extremely uncomfortable because the employee who said this was 18 later when we got inside, we continue endlessly positioned her so she was the farthest away from him, but whenever he would walk by, he would be constantly looking her up and down soon when we were going to pay, he said to two girls behind us between the ages of 10 to 11 "don't worry this one's free" and proceeded to smirk and lick his lips at the young girls who were oblivious to his obvious action. We were left disgusted and quickly left the billing, but we feared for the safety of others so two of my teammates went back inside and told the cashier of the establishment who then told the manager and said something would be done about this the rest of us were waiting outside when the teammate who was harassed parent specifically her father came and was rightfully angry a group of about 15 of us, including parents all stood out, converse about the event when Zachary came out looking sheepish and fearful, trying to explain that he didn't mean it in any way my teammate who is 18 asked "so then what was it? What could it have been misinterpreted" to which he had no response and proceeded to fumble his words and quietly backed away. We then later learned from two other bystanders that he has not done this just to us, but to several other girls with the same ill intent behind his actions we urge you not to go to this place, especially since there were six-year-olds in line six-year-old children in line after our conversation with the man we then look back over to the line and see about 90% of the people had left once they saw what was happening. 0/10 do not come, especially if you have children read more

Unfortunately the service here is poor. They close down everything 15-20 min prior to the actual closing and put away majority of the toppings. I believe this location needs help I'm terms of quality workers. I love Menchies but have ran into a problem here each time I've tried to come. read more

Ordered a birthday cake for my nieces 9th birthday and boy was I disappointed on the day I had to pickup. I ordered a cake to be made specifically like the photo they had in their book of cakes, and it turned out to look nothing like it. What a disappointment. In addition, they hire lazy kids to work here and the place is filthy. Look around and you'll see health hazards. This place is a mess. Management, please give more of a damn to whom you hire. Your location is a mess and is disgusting. read more
