This Subway location is very bright and slightly larger than some others. There can be a long line but it moves quickly. The employees seemed a little unsure with what they were doing however the experience is on-par this the franchise.

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt - Clifton Park

The first time we went to Menchie's was for their grand opening week where yogurts were only $1 on day. It was so busy they were limiting how many people could be in at a time due to fire codes. It hasn't been that busy since then but it has always been lively. We liked their yogurt and atmosphere so much we brought Daddy's parents and sister and her husband.

Menchie's is setup like any other DIY yogurt place, a large collection of frozen yogurt machines and a topping bar. Anything you put in your cup is charged by weight  Unlike other places, there is only one size bowl and waffle cones are not a separate charge, they are added in to the weight. They also sell bottled water and a large selection of merchandise. Everything has a cute characters theme. Not only do they have yogurt but they also have fruit sorbets. Their selection ranges from fancy versions of chocolate and vanilla to mint, pistachio, coconut and cake. There are about 16 different flavors. Each has nutrition and ingredient information on the machine. The toppings not only consist of a variety of chocolate candies but other toppings like cereal, fruits, and hot sauces.

Our Daughter has a very strange appetite. She doesn't like ice cream, but she loves frozen yogurt. The counters are low enough so she can place her bowl under her selection but the handles still have to be operated by Mommy and Daddy (a good thing).

The staff is always very friendly and there is a large assortment of complimentary balloons on the ceiling for little ones.

We normally try to avoid going to normal fast food restaurants but sometimes they have new products which might be good. This time we stopped in to try the Loaded Grilled Burritos (not good) and the Doritos Locos Tacos (always good). The new Cool Ranch Doritos are good but not as good as expected. The experience was typical fast food, maybe a little slow. For the amount and the quality of the food you can get a better experience at Moe's.
