Places We Love : Menchies

I've decided to feature local places that we
love to visit from time to time.
If you live in my town
then you should visit Menchies.

It's a new frozen yogurt store
that we stumbled upon recently.
As we walked by a cute lady
pulled us into the shop and offered us free ice cream
because it was "Friends and Family" night.

Since I was neither part of her family
or her dear friend, I was a bit surprised by the invitation.
Who is gonna turn down free ice cream?
Not this girl!

So, in we went and a magical place shimmered
right before my eyes.
A huge row of frozen yogurt awaited.
When I saw that they had Red Velvet cake
and cake batter swirl, I swooned.

The toppings looked all dreamy
as the sugary delights
beckoned to me.
I swear, they blew kisses my way when I walked up.

I was in a euphoric haze as I
topped my frozen yogurt off with caramel sauce.

Even my picky little eater
got in on the action
and ate blueberry yogurt with Fruity Pebbles on top.

We have been back since
and it is like heaven.
A fluffy heaven with
Marshmallow Cream and Cherries on top.

My fellow Athenians...
I'll see you there!
