Menchie's Frozen Yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you need a good dose of food poisoning, here's your chance! Zero employees to greet you as you walk in. They must have been in a back room hiding, as there were zero customers in the store so you know they weren't busy. When they finally came out to greet, we were ready to pay. Also, as always, "the machine is going to ask you a few questions" - Are you kidding me? You're really asking us for a tip when you've done nothing but ring us up. Nah. Poor taste. I woke up a few hours later pooping my brains out and haven't been the same since. BE CAREFUL going to this location. read more

Tasty frozen yogurt! I love to bring my little sister here for a cool sweet treat. We love the original tart and most fruity flavors, my sis also loves the vanilla and chocolate. We miss some of the limited edition flavors like Teenage Kraken blue raspberry and Hi Chew Raspberry. I'm not a big fan of the cake, cookie style flavors but literally just my taste buds! I like that the toppings are covered to be sanitary, and the fruit toppings always seem to be fresh and not mixed with the others. It's a cute little space. Pretty small sitting area but a good quick fixing. The workers are always nice. There can be a lot of foot traffic with the local schools. 4-5+ schools within a little walk or basic drive. So after school and weekends it gets pretty busy. Sometimes I like to stroll in the late morning or evening time. When it gets busy there's no seats and can get a bit crowded since the walk ways are a bit slim. It shares parking with the Safeway, bank, and other local businesses, but I have never had an issue with finding a decent spot. The best froyo in West Seattle! read more

Froyo was so good! The service was great the cashier was really friendly. Ambience was okay it wasn't too crowded.

This star is because it's too expensive. Go with deep pockets folks. Otherwise the yogurt is not too bad. read more

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt - No bathrooms to wash your hands before using public tools to put stuff on your frozen yogurt. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Never disappointed! My kids ask to come to Menchies any time we're celebrating a special occasion or achievement. There's a wide variety of flavors, the facility is always clean and well cared for and the staff are friendly. Also, it's nice that this location happily supports local causes and schools! read more

Every time we come here mid-day (such as today at 1pm on a Tuesday) there's no employee to be found. We have to stand around hoping they'll actually come out of their private room in the back, and sometimes they'll come out and see us and then go back into the room before we've had a chance to check out. So we just stand there with melting yogurt awaiting them to come back. I don't know what's so important in the back room but it'd be nice if the employees would stay in the main space to greet and serve customers. read more

This frozen yogurt is my daughters favorite. The amount of topping you can choose from is pretty incredible and that includes syrups of all flavors and styles. Personally I do not like yogurt or fro yo. But for the smile on her face we keep stopping in. read more

As we're slowly starting to venture back out into the world, I took my 3 year old for some frozen yogurt after preschool. They have an immense variety of frozen yogurts and several dairy free options, as well. They are all labeled with their allergens (as I also cannot have gluten) and was surprised they had Dole Whip when we went. Yum! They also have a huge toppings bar and everything is covered in their respective containers. I don't do toppings myself due to cross contamination issues since scooping is a free for all, but my daughter enjoyed being able to choose some fun toppings from the candies, cookies and fruits they had available. The person who checked us out was friendly and kind. They also had a few seats in the front and back of the store (there are two ways into the establishment). read more

My sons & I were in W Seattle to visit my mom who is in a nursing home. We stopped by Menchie's to get some fro yo, but were disappointed. The place was somewhat busy and was messy. The young lady who was working was just sitting behind the counter doing nothing. When we went to get our yogurt, the Horchata flavor wasn't coming out so I told the employee and she said, "Yeah, it's probably out." She made no attempt to check if it was out or to refill it. Then, there were no carob chips or n the toppings area. That is the only topping I ever put on frozen yogurt. I asked the employee and she said they were out. So I went to see if there was any fruit I or my mom might like and there was 1 chocolate covered strawberry left! I knew my mom would love that so I put it on the yogurt I was making for her and then I mentioned to the employee there were no more chocolate covered strawberries. Her reply was that they must be out. Seriously? Now, I worked a fro-yo machine when I was young and I know that topping refills of chilled items are prepared ahead of time and stored in a fridge. So, I asked if she could check. She rilled her eyes at me, but did go check. Lo-and-behold, she came out with an entire bin of chocolate covered strawberries! Amazing! The point is: I shouldn't have needed to ask. And I am pretty sure that there was more Horchata in the back too, just waiting to be poured into the machine. I know from my fro-yo working days that backups of the flavors are kept in the back specifically to refill the machines, and flavors are only "chosen" in the morning if there are enough "packages" of it to last through the day. So there likely was more. Most of the fruit bins were empty or almost empty and the employee should have been refilling them all with the pre-prepared fruit in the back fridge. She should have been wiping down the tables and counters too. read more

Okay so I don't even like ice cream, but I still get cravings for this little hot spot. (p.s. How does Baskin Robbins a few doors down stay in business? Maybe they won't.) I like that they have new flavors that rotate often - usually I'm just a vanilla snow type but I have enjoyed the strawberry lemonade and green tea as well. Menchie's is REALLY clean - the people working here do a great job constantly keeping the toppings full and the counters spotless. ...Then there's these little gummy things that have attached themselves to the memories of my taste buds and my taste buds won't move on. read more

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt - Your froyo pictures aren't as cute as my froyo picture. My child is the best - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

With a crazed looks in their eyes at 8:40 AM pulling into the Safeway parking lot, the tykes scream "lets go to Menchies for breakfast!!!!" "WTF is Menchies?" I think, "a new Jewish deli in West SEA? Has a Yiddish ring to it, after all." But no, its not bagels, lox or blintzes, but Fro-yo. Make sense, more Californians in Seattle than east coasters. 10 hours later we return to Menchie's. Now I'm not a Fro-yo kind of guy, despite being a Cali native. But from my sneaky picking at the kid's deserts, the stuff seems pretty good. Simple process to select your Fro-You: pick up your Fro-You pail to fill up yourself at one of the dispensing stations. Each station has two flavors that can pumped singularly, or in combination by the machine. There are about 4 or 5 stations. Pretty standard flavor selections. One child got the "cake batter" flavor which made me think the guy who came up with that must of known recreational marijuana had been legalized in Washington. Who else but a Stoner would want large quantities of cake batter? This will never be a ROTD I'm guessing. Back to the process. So after filling up your yogurt bucket, you can adorn it with all kinds of toppings like carob chips (don't trust anybody who likes carob) and the more reasonable choices like chocolate sprinkles, Captain Crunch and Maraschino Cherries. Then you take your custom sundae to one of the teenyboppers behind the counter for a weigh-in. I was shocked that two massive containers of Fro-You & condiments were only $5.24. I think my kids had 10 bucks of cherries in there. Seemed like a screaming deal to me. Enough to take home for tomorrow's breakfast. read more

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt - Chocolate & cakebatter I dunno, the chocolate reminds me of something on the ground at the dog park - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Who would think that frozen yogurt can substitute craving for ice cream , specially for a picky visitor for far and away, where mango, papaya, guava and pomegranate ice cream are very common flavors. Yelp helped looking for an ice cream place in west seattle. It happened to be Menchie's Frozen Yogurt place a block away. How would it go for a picky ice cream lover? Well, it worked just fine. Great concept of let customers select whatever satisfies one's cravings. Of course it doesn't come cheap. It generally will cost a lot more than a subway sandwiches . Friendly and helpful staff person was amazed at the time one could take building up a frozen yogurt cone! It's almost amusing! read more

See all

For a business whose clients are mostly kids, it seems pretty inexcusable to keep the bathroom "closed" permanently.

First time I've ever been to menchies before and loved it. I was getting a treat for my daughter after a difficult dental appointment, and this place was so fun. It was all decorated for Halloween and the manager was very kind. He even let my daughter use the restroom when it was closed. Will definitely come back! read more

Today I went in and got a cup of yogurt as I had not been in for a while and was headed to Safeway. I got a little bit of about 3 flavors and then just the regular tart. I paid just o Er $8 for about half of one of their large cups. It was a weird texture kinda of icy and the flavor was not good, the chocolate was so dark and strange tasting and even the tart that I have always loved was not creamy. I did not complain I through Irvin the trash and will never return. I did buy so no hi and popsicles at Safeway for less than $8. read more

Nothing to write home about. It reminds me TCBY in the 80's. Flavors are okay but nothing special. They only offer big cups (to make more money of course). When you have little kids and they each want their own cup of ice cream/fro yo, it seems like a waste and not very fun to eat out of a big cup with a little bit on the bottom. We got 2 cups and shared...didn't go over very well with the kids. Don't be fooled by the "sugar-free" flavors, they use sorbitol and malitol, both chemicals. You're better off eating sugar. Service is sweet and the place is clean so that is why I gave it more than 1 star. I won't be back, it was a disappointment. We spent $15 on two cups.... read more

It'd be more cool if it was called Menschys. In Yiddish a mensch is an all around good guy, someone you'd like to hang out with. This place is very friendly, nice owners, good family vibe. I really like being able to just fill my cup and slap on my own goodies without having anyone do it for me. If I want a lot of Heath Bar crunch I can just go for it. The tart flavor which tastes like real yogurt is a great canvas to paint your delicious edible masterpiece. I'll be a regular here when the weather gets warmer. read more

With a great selection of fairly prices frozen yogurts and toppings to choose from , Menchie's is easily the newest and best place to get fro-yo! I couldn't be any happier that it is conveniently located in West Seattle near me so I can get it all the time. I got a buy one get one free with my fro-yo so i will be back soon. I had the honey dew yogurt with captain crunch, moochie, gummy bears and yogurt chips. Delicious, but very, very sweet! read more

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Even though this is the same company and business model as the Queen Anne location, this franchise seems to be run much better, with a definite feel for the "West Seattle" neighborhood. The staff here are very friendly and not overbearing. They're great about keeping the serving stations clean, which I'm sure isn't easy with a self-serve frozen yogurt and topping bar. The best thing about this location is their Party Room, which to date I've only seen used for additional seating. It's a small room off to the side of the main room which is designed for use for private events. When not in use for those events however, it's a great area to sit and enjoy your yogurt with your family. Menchies does a great job of catering to all who crave a treat- the health nuts who can have fat-free, sugar-free sorbet with fresh fruit toppings, and those who have a sweet tooth- with many types of sweet yogurt and about a million candy bar toppings. They also usually have stickers and coloring sheets for the little ones, which is a nice treat for the kiddos. My only complaints, and these rings true for all the locations, are the lack of water for drinking (unless you buy a bottle of water) and the excess amount of waste that is produced. No compostable or even recyclable materials are used, which is a shame. read more

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The teenager who seemed to be working by herself and also seemed to be a whole 15 years old decided that instead of doing her job it was more important to sit and talk to her friends that were sitting at the counter and in the way of anyone who needed to purchase their items. Most of the frozen yogurt wouldn't dispense and the place was pretty gross on the inside. Definitely won't be returning until they can employ people that take their jobs seriously. First job or not. read more

Usually we would give this establishment a 5 star rating, they have good music playing, great yogurt and a wide variety of toppings. But the last time we have tried to pop in for a late night treat after a football game they were closed! On Apple Maps and the Menchies website it says they close at 10, this is false information. They are closing much earlier then it says which is disappointing. We have much love for the shop but we just wish they would update their website. Sad to say that the birds give it 3 stars. read more

Visited yesterday evening for take out and the employees weren't wearing masks or gloves... for a food service place this is unacceptable and they should be shut down until they can take their customer's health seriously. read more

I don't know how you can't love the gluttony here. Delicious soft serve with many dairy and gluten free options. And don't forget the bevy of toppings that will satisfy just about any sweet . Yea you know you gained your covid "19" lbs , so did the rest of us, what's another pound or two ? read more

Yes, it's a chain. I normally avoid chains, but what this particular stores does, it does very well indeed. THE ROSES: First, let's start with the concept. YOU choose your portion size. This becomes a big deal when you consider the burgeoning obesity epidemic in our society (which will become a MAJOR public policy issue as more GenX/Y/Millennials go into their dotage burdening Medicare for their bills for diabetes/joint replacements/etc.). A big part of the problem is that (1) portion sizes are just too damn big (Big Gulp, anyone?), and are priced to encouraged overeating ('supersize your order for just a dollar more!). Menchies approach is very simple: take as much or as little of their frozen yogurt and toppings as you want, and pay a straight 49 cents/oz. for it. No volume discount, so you don't feel like you have to eat more to get your 'money's worth'. My 5oz of vanilla/chocolate swirl yogurt & toppings set me back $2.50 and did no damage to my waistline! The yogurt itself is, well, frozen yogurt. Nothing special here. Nice selection of flavors, and they're in paired dispensers that allow you to mix in a 'swirl' the paired flavors if you wish. Nice selection of toppings. Dining area is squeaky-clean and the young staffer was very pleasant. THE THORNS: No option for recycling the (very well made and re-usable) plastic spoons. I hate the idea of those things going into the landfill. The only cup size appears to be a pint, which while intended to encourage patrons to buy more, may also once again promote overeating. 8oz cups would be a nice option. THE VERDICT: Tasty alternative to the nearby Baskin-Robbins serves up tasty treats and is a reasonably good corporate citizen (they'd be better if they'd recycle those spoons!). Go ahead and check them out! read more

Oh, I really should have taken photos of the froyo before I gobbled it down! I've been here around 4+ times now - and every time keeps me craving more! There isn't a huge selection of flavors. Just a bit over ten flavors or so. My favorite flavor is actually the tart one. It's nice and tangy - like that yogurt / kefir taste. And I love adding in the mochi, rainbow sprinkles, and the occasional cheesecake bites or cookie dough. The cookie dough was the only topping I didn't love. It was a bit crusty to me, but that's okay. I'll just try the other things next time :) What makes this place five stars is really the service! Everytime I come in here, the young ladies who work here always greet me with a smile. I really appreciate that! Thank you ladies for keeping it a positive place to keep getting my froyo fix. I generally spend anywhere from $4-$7 dollars for one person. The four dollar range is for 2-3 smaller helpings of froyo and 2-3 small scoops of toppings. read more

I finally learned what the smileage card is - not sure why they call it that, since there were no smiles here today. The smileage card will never make me smile. I was told that you get a "smile" for every dollar spent. If you get 50 smiles, you get $5 off, or a free yogurt. If I realized I had spent $50 on frozen yogurt, I would cry, not smile. The employees aren't smiling either - one girl looked at me with such contempt that I just wanted to put her out of her misery. I guess if I was constantly cleaning up after slobs, I would not be smiling either. The product was worse than last time. Within a couple minutes of being out of the machine and in my bowl, it was a half-melted mess. I thought choosing mint would be a refreshing idea, instead it tasted like a combination between a mcnasty shamrock shake and chalky, heartburn medication. Can we get a Yogurtland up in here?! read more

This location is fine. The person working the shop was friendly and rang up my purchase quickly. They have a large selection of toppings (more than I've seen at other Menchie's locations) and it wasn't too busy when we were there, which was nice. There were a couple of cons. One of the yogurts machines was empty and I wasn't really excited by the range of flavors they had. I had my go-to Takes the Cake Batter because none of the other flavors were really too good. They are also kind of stingy with the sample cups and only put a few out when people seem to be coming in. The three of us used the few she put out fairly quickly and she had to put more - not sure why she doesn't just fill the tray with cups? Overall, this was a fine Menchie's, but I have been to other locations that are a bit better. read more

Great spot, a neighborhood favorite, clean store and friendly staff especially Margo. Highly recommend this cute little build your own frozen yogurt shop :) read more

Cute, Fun and YUMMY. Looks like there is a room for birthday parties. It looks a bit rundown - new wallpaper is needed. Park in front or in the Safeway parking lot and enter in the back door. read more

I love Menchie's but the West Seattle location has an issue with quality control of the product. The texture of the frozen yogurt is frequently bad. Specifically, it is like ice milk, or something. Like there's too much frozen water in it(?). I'm not sure how to describe it, but it is *very* different than the product I eat at other locations and not at all palatable. Not as smooth and creamy, just harsh and nasty. I presume the under-10 clientele that pays the bills at this location doesn't care, but my adult palate is offended so I just don't go here anymore. read more

Cute dessert option in Admiral! They have an impressive selection of flavors, and toppings, the latter of which include the usual suspects like sprinkles, chocolate chips, Oreo crumbles, etc., but they also have fresh options too! One word of caution though: it's super easy to help yourself to a generous portion of fro-yo and toppings galore, BUT, the price is weight based, which I learned the hard way, building myself a $12 treat! Naturally, I scarfed it all down, but couldn't believe I'd spent that much money! read more

I'm a big fan of the self-serve froyo concept! These guys have a great selection of flavors, they always have at least one or two sugar-free flavors, a great toppings bar, (including sugar-free hot fudge) and pleasant staff. +1 for the cheesecake bites, captain crunch, and peanut butter topping as well! Cons: I don't think I can ever get out of here without spending at least $10 on two modest cups of Froyo and you may want to avoid coming in on Friday or Saturday nights, as it grotesquely resembles Circus Circus with kids and tweens crawling everywhere. I will however give Menchies honorable mention for great people watching at this location.... Have a smiley day! read more

Finally, a self serve froyo joint in West Seattle! It feels like yogurtland on capital hill, but the flavors just aren't "quite" as good. One brilliant thing about this place though, they'll let you get little tasters of the different flavors until you find one that you like. Be sure to do that since some of them sound better than they really taste. The selection of toppings is excellent, and bonus points to them for being open pretty late. read more

Come here often for Menchie's!! I believe it's the closet one to us in Georgetown. Always friendly girls working there. Can't really say too much except they kept food areas cleaned and there's ever a long line there. read more

This place is great! Definitely avoid on weekdays between 2-4 though since that's when the local schools release for the day. Or on Wednesdays around lunch time... The yogurt selection is solid with seasonal flavors rotation every few months. They also have the usual flavors: chocolate, vanilla, tart, etc. The cashiers are also really sweet which is always nice! As for toppings, stay away from brownie bites if you want to keep your teeth. Those things might as well be pebbles. The sour gummy worms aren't really sour, so be prepared for sugar covered gummy worms on your already super sugary frozen yogurt. read more

Thank you, Guy and staff! I decided to try this place after recommendations from my workplace and I'm glad I did. They have plenty of flavors to choose from with little pictures that indicate if a flavor is dairy-free, sugar-free, etc. There are a few flavors that have a permanent place like vanilla, chocolate, and tart and other flavors that rotate (apple, pumpkin, green tea, just to name a few). The staff ensures the toppings (nuts, candy, fruit, mochi, and warm drizzles) are full and the counters are clean. On one occasion, I noticed some folks setting up for a birthday party in a separate room and I inquired about reserving the space for my daughter, since she loooves frozen dessert. They were very good about returning my calls and answering all the questions I had to ensure I had my reservation in order. For our reservation we were able to set up a little bit early. Guy and his staff checked in on us periodically and made sure we were happy customers. Overall it was a simple, smooth interaction with these folks. Some of our guests thought our little party was a great idea and are considering reserving the space as well! P.S. Please bring back Taro read more
