Tomunchi Frozen Yogurt
Specialties : Tomunchi is part of the growing trend of self-serve frozen yogurt chains here in Texas. This trend, born on the west coast has finally come eastward, and yogurt shops like this one are popping up all over Austin. Tomunchi offers self-serve frozen yogurt, in flavors ranging from plain tart, to exotic mango, or decadent French espresso. The yogurt is then accessorized with a variety of toppings such as fresh fruit, mochi, chocolate chips, or flavored syrups.
Where : Tomunchi is located in North Austin, off Parmer lane. Their website offers a map to their location, as well as a menu of yogurt flavors and toppings.
My first impression of Tomunchi was sort of mediocre, considering there was no staff at the front counter to greet us. I love these yogurt places, however, so I knew the drill without being told. I grabbed a cup, and started scanning the flavors of yogurt available from the tiled wall mounted machines. I was a little disappointed to see that the cups were only ordinary Styrofoam. I like little touches like branded cups and plates, so it was a bit of a let-down. The machines were similarly disappointing, with poorly constructed flavor signs. Yogurt Planet, further south on Lamar definitely has Tomunchi beat for style.
The yogurt itself was delicious – all these yogurt places seem to use the same brand of yogurt, and they all offer nearly exactly the same flavors, so they’re nothing if not consistant. I was there about two hours before closing, but even so, I noticed that Tomunchi is definitely lacking in the toppings arena. I’ve been to about six similar shops, and so far, Tomunchi had the least to offer in the way of fresh fruits and treats. I missed seeing the usual Japanese and Asian inspired exotics, like red bean, and lychee.
There was only one person on staff, but he was fairly withdrawn. There’s not much service to be expected at a self serve place, but I got no smiles from this guy, and there were a lot of empty topping areas that might have been filled. The yogurt by weight was a bit more expensive than most similar places. I live in North Austin, so it’s closer to me than the other available options, but on the whole, this was more a trip of convenience.
Final thoughts : A firm 5 out of ten. Bit pricey, with mediocre service and options, but not memorable enough to actually be bad. I enjoyed the yogurt I got, I’ve just been a bit spoiled. My advice is to go to Yogurt Planet unless Tomunchi is closer, but you’ll be far happier with Planet’s array of toppings and syrups, friendlier staff, and cheerier atmosphere.
