Audra Gallogly, owner of Menchie’s Main Street Marketplace, is enthusiastic about the frozen yogurt, but she believes there’s something more she offers. “We have a great tasting product,” she says, “but more than anything we sell smiles.” She explains that all Menchie’s frozen yogurt is made from milk produced by “happy cows in California”—that is, cows that haven’t undergone artificial growth hormone treatment. The flavors are diverse and unique, and the selection even includes options for those with food allergies or lactose intolerance. “We pay special attention to requests,” Gallogly says. When someone requests a specific flavor, she makes it a point to order it and have it in the shop within weeks. The next time you’re on the hunt for a sweet treat, pay Menchie’s a visit.

With red-and-white checkered tablecloths, linen napkins, flowers on tables and carpeted floors to reduce noise, and a menu filled with items like lasagna and spaghetti and meatballs, Pinocchios strives to offer a “good independent place to go” for traditional Italian in Longmont, said Annie Vick, owner. Gluten-free and vegan options also bring a unique flair to the restaurant, alongside a specialty menu with a variety of lighter items. “We serve great food focusing on getting to know guests,” Vick said. Their menu is served all day long, all desserts are homemade, and the private east room is ideal for banquets and overflow. “We have a cozy and comfortable atmosphere so people can relax,” Vick said. “It is not in our scenario to rush people out.”
