“Cute little place to stop. Takes you back in time to an old candy store with ice cream sundaes, floats & more. Lots of fun candy to look at. Places to sit inside and a bench outside. We went at the end of the day so they were out of two different ice cream flavors. We took our kids and they thought it was neat. If you are looking for “something different” or get the “we’re bored”, give this a try.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly as in there is lots to look at. If they struggle with touching everything, maybe not ?. The bar stools next to the ice cream freezer are high, so more for 6+ year olds without supervision.“

“We decided, as we drove by, to stop in and see what this place was about. It was a really nice environment (kind of like Molly's Cupcakes). I tried the "Molly's Mashup", where the take a cupcake, split it in half, and put ice cream in between with a topping (I opted for red velvet cupcake with strawberry lemonade sorbet with whipped cream) and he tried a double scoop of mixed berry swirl ice cream. The awesome thing about the mixed berry swirl was it had pieces of vanilla cupcake in it. We were satisfied with what we got and plan to try a different combination the next time we come!!!“

“We needed 3 tubs of ice cream for our Dad's 90th birthday party. He used to own a Baskin Robins in Minnesota and having Pralines 'n Cream, Jamocha Almond Fudge and Vanilla were an important part of the party. After not being able to find the tubs here in MN I contacted Satish in Windsor Heights IA. He took the time to help us out and we were able to purchase the from him. Thank you so much Satish! Our Dad (and all the guests!) loved the ice cream!!“

“Menchie's is the ultimate frozen yogurt destination, perfect for visits with kids, friends, or family dessert outings. The establishment is safe and clean, with a self-serving setup that allows you to take your time choosing the number of toppings, your preferred flavor, and whether you need more. The array of frozen yogurt options caters to all tastes, including seasonal flavors that vary but never disappoint, but their typical options include Take the Cake Batter (a personal favorite), Reese's, Dreamy Dulce De Leche Blackberry Burst, German Chocolate, Harvest Pumpkin, and Chocolate Dipped Banana, among others. If you're undecided, you can request a sample cup to taste all the flavors or even mix different yogurts into one cup. Once you've settled on your frozen yogurt flavor, you face the great wall of all the glorious toppings you could ever imagine, or had never thought of before. The candy toppings section is where you can find gummy bears, candy balls, cookie dough, brownies, mini cheesecake bites, fresh fruit, dried fruit, walnuts, peanuts, whipped cream, marshmallow fluff, hot Hershey syrup, fudge, Oreos, animal cookies, and more. They also give you a sturdy reusable spoon that you can take home with you (the kids love using those spoons for their cereal). They ensure every taste bud is satisfied and you'll leave full and happy. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!“

“This is in a predominately Latino strip mall so a lot of the staff don't speak much English but I can usually get by on hand gestures. The paletas (popsicles) are really good here! I usually get the "fresa con crema" which is strawberries and cream. They also do a lot of other novelty foods which I haven't tried yet, but they seem very popular! They also have hand-scooped ice cream but I'm not sure if it's made in-house or not. Apparently, that was very good and creamy!“

“The milk tea & boba are great; a bit expensive though. I did get a bit confused on where to order, although I did end up finding it after a minute or two. There were a bunch of people there, took about 5-7 minutes for my drink to be done despite the amount of people. Only criticism I would give is the cost, $7 for a milk tea with boba in it is pretty expensive. (For me, at least.)“
