A good place to hang out!! I have been here twice, and this place is always full of people - grandparents with their grandchildren, mom with her kids, families, couples, friends...

There are so many other locations if this one is not close to you. There are 10 locations in Ontario - Rutherford Marketplace, Yonge & Lawrence, York Mills...... Check their website to see which location is close to you =) http://www.menchies.ca/locations.php#can
(There are 185 Menchie's all over the world!!)

 - there are little tasting cups for you to try the yogurt flavours! =)

1. grab a cup (you can pick the cups with plain waffle in it, OR just the cup)

2. Pick a flavour. Then pull the lever down.

- flavours: new york cheesecake, strawberry vanilla, mango, coconut, coffee, creamsicle, peanut butter, chocolate, green tea, watermelon tart, green apple tart and more... ...

- i like the watermelon tart! yumm..
- the green tea flavour is good! The green tea flavour is strong! =)
- the green apple tart is a bit sour.
- didn't really like the mango flavour.. doesn't really taste like mango =/
- the coffee flavour is not bad.

(Example:)
- if you want green apple tart, pull the lever on the left
- if you want watermelon tart, pull the lever on the right
- if you want to swirl them together (mix the two flavours together), pull the lever on the middle

3. Pick your toppings...

Toppings: gummy bears, gummy worms, smarties, skittles, oreo pieces, mini marshmallows, mini peanut butter chips, rainbow sprinkles, toasted coconut, chocolate sprinkles, roasted almonds, walnuts, reese's pieces, cashews, crispy crunch, slowpokes, skor pieces, yogurt chips, yogurt covered pretzles, yogurt covered cranberries, graham crumbs, nerds and MORE.... .... !

Toppings: pineapple, kiwi, blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, maraschino cherry, cookie dough, cheesecake pieces, brownies, peanut butter cups, mochi, stawberry popping boba, mango popping boba, lychee popping boba

- the mochi is good! Should try some! =)
- i love the lychee popping boba - it's a little ball that fills with lychee liquid in it, when you bite it, the ball will pop and the lychee liquid will come out
- however, i did NOT like the strawberry and mango popping boba. They taste kinda bitter =/
- the white ballballs are lychee popping boba, the yellow ballballs are mango popping boba, and the reddish-orange ballballs are strawberry popping boba. 

Toppings: milk chocolate with crackle, peanut butter with crackle, lemon cream cookie... ...

- the milk chocolate crackle (the one on the top right corner) is good! The little crackle are so crispy and the chocolate sauce is not too sweet. =D

Toppings (sauce): chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, peanut butter

- the yogurt above are around $4-5 per cup, pretty good! *you pay by the weight, so you can see around this portion, it only cost $4-5*
- the spoon is SO CUTE! I cleaned the spoon and bought it home, haha! =)
