Red Mango

I love their smoothies! Tropical pineapple is my favorite. What I like about their smoothies is you can see they are made of fresh ingredients. I used to go to a competing smoothie shop (I think it is tacky to mention the names of competitors) and they made smoothies with juice and had a large board in front of where they made them so people couldn’t tell they were using some kind of juice. Anyway everything is fresh and delicious. Steve s helped us and he was outstanding! Talk about customer service — he is the poster child! I would go here more often but the parking sucks! What determines if I go here is if there is parking. Not their fault? Just the nature of downtown Kirkwood.

Decent flavors and a friendly staff — nothing to write home about though.

Not much I can say. The place smelled like industrial cleaner and the yogurt didn’t taste all that different from the smell.

I’m new to the frozen yogurt train but am starting to really dig the stuff. Since I’m watching my weight I’m trying any alternative to Dairy Queen or Ted Drewes, thus my trip to Red Mango. I had the original mixed with a little bit of the apple cinnamon, which wasn’t too overwhelming in flavor. Mix in a ton of fresh fruit; strawberries, pineapple and a little shaved coconut and it was a lovely treat.

If Jakki C. had been sitting at the window seat this afternoon, then she might have commented on the parallel parking skills of that guy in the SUV on the opposite side of the street. In all fairness to ME, it’s difficult to get much closer than two feet to the curb when a driver must: a.) dart into a narrow opening frontend first, then b.) try to ease in the tail while 35 cars are whizzing inches past you in the southbound lane. One of the great challenges for a visitor to Kirkwood is the traffic, and I’d probably have been better off searching for a parking space just off the main drag.
I came here to use up a gift card stuck at the bottom of my big manila envelope of gift cards and certificates. The staff greeted us on entry, and let us know we could create our own yogurt cup (sold by the ounce) or they could take our order for a parfait or the like. We made our own: hazelnut and coffee yogurt with chocolate & nuts for me, and a more complicated gluten-​free concoction for 21-​year-​old son. Certainly a sour tang to the yogurt, but good flavors. Just past the winter solstice, loved sitting in chairs in the afternoon sun.

With all the frozen yogurt spots opening up in the last few years, I’ve been anxious to try them all. Pinkberry on the west coast set the bar high for me and I’ve been searching for something similar ever since.
Sadly, Red Mango is no Pinkberry.
I usually stick with the fruity flavors or the original because the tangy-​ness of the yogurt doesn’t usually complement chocolate or other sweet flavors well. This place was no different. I tried the pumpkin and chocolate and both just tasted «off.» The lemon, pomegranate and original were fine, but nothing spectacular. The quality of the yogurt wasn’t quite there for me. I want a smoother texture and it was actually more icy/​gritty. The original lacked a little flavor, too.
They had fresh toppings, but the strawberries and raspberries looked like they’d been out a little too long. I also didn’t see any granola which is one of my frozen yogurt staples.
Granted, most of these places are pretty much the same, but I still wanted more from this experience. At this point, the best I’ve had so far has been Fro-​Yo in the loop, so that will probably continue to be my go-​to spot.

yum! one of my favorite places. When the Groupon came on for Red Mango we bought a couple because this is such a favorite treat of ours. They’re always very nice about letting us sample the flavors before we buy anything, and they take coupons and Groupons without asking any questions or giving us any trouble for it. I love the chewy mochi and their toasted almonds — the almonds are much tastier than the almonds at FroYo.

LOVE red mango. Definitely NOT a super sweet yogurt place but thats a good thing so I can have it for lunch with berries nad not feel too gulity

Groupon does it again. Introducing me to things I wouldn’t even think to just stop in and check out on my own.
I’m three doors down at least twice a month and never thought to stop in here until about two weeks ago I decided to use my Groupon and got this smoothie thing w/​granola, bananas on top of my mango, pinapple, banana smoothie and it was the best thing ever. I’m going again on the 28^th for round two!
This time I will go inside and get myself instead of sending in the bf while getting pampered few doors down ;)
I highly recommend everyone trying out this delicious healthy afternoon snack: D

Absolutely LOVE Red Mango. I take my 2 year old son every other weekend! He loves it.
I can always find a coupon (usually buy one, get one) which makes it even better!

This is my favorite frozen chain yogurt brand to date.
It is the healthiest of the chain stores as their tag line goes like this:
«All natural frozen yogurt w/​probiotics to support immune health (GanedenBC probiotics for a healthy immune system,) gluten-​free (no modified food starch,) kosher, no high fructose corn syrup, non fat and around 100 calories.»
Hard to beat that hum?
I adore the vanilla and chocolate. I normally get strawberries and blueberries on it.
There is a free «club mango» which you can consider a plastic punch card, that they swipe when you buy something. Each time you buy yogurt it you collect points that add up to a free $ 5.00 off coupon. It is a «free loyalty» card and/​or «a refillable prepaid card for personal use.» You get a $ 5.00 off coupon for your birthday.
My only beef is that there are not more Red Mango shops for me to go to.
TLDR: It is the healthiest of the chain frozen yogurt stores. It is open late. It is self-​serve. The ingredients are always fresh. The service is always friendly and polite.
You can not go wrong with the chocolate frozen yogurt.

I revisited Red Mango a while ago with Kat V., and it was just as delicious as the first time! It seems like they’re always changing flavors, so that’s good for those that get bored with the same old thing.
My recommendation? Skip all of the fancy flavors and toppings and just go with the original! Gah… I wish I could bathe in this stuff!

I adore cold delicious treats that are healthy and between FroYo, Chill and Red Mango it’s a toss, but I do crave the dark chocolate occasionally from Red Mango.
I absolutely adore the Kirkwood Location, it’s clean, bright and the staff are always friendly. My fave spot seems to be the window seat, I love to gaze out and chat about random things like people trying to cross the street in traffic, those that should take a parallel parking class and of course how freakin’ great my frozen yogurt is!
New flavor right now raspberry cheesecake! Oh hello yummieness! Honestly, I can opt out of toppings enjoy the fresh flavorful taste of the variety Red Mango offers. Apricot, Lemon Spritzer, Dark Chocolate, Rasp Chzcake, and banana are in the lead for tastes like more!

This is a pretty neat concept and tasty. I like the plain yogurt with berries.

I know it’s a healthier alternative… but does it have to taste healthier? I don’t want my dark chocolate yogurt to have a twang to it! I hear the twangy tang is good with the fruit flavors, but you just ruined good chocolate! Sorry… heading back to Yo My Goodness.

Ok, I’ll admit that this place is growing on me. The fact that they have dark chocolate won my heart. Any froyo place that has any kind of chocolate that can mixed in with the fruit flavors gets a thumbs up from me. But, I still want my crushed up Reese’s peanut butter cups for toppings.

Well, it’s official… not all frozen yogurt is created equally!
I had never been to a Red Mango when I learned one was opening in Kirkwood. I was so excited to have a frozen yogurt shop near by… I was picturing my beloved FroYo and already craving my favorite FroYo creation.
When I walked into Red Mango last night, all I could think about was «Where are the rest of the flavors?»
The frozen yogurt itself is okay, nothing I would crave though.

Dear Red Mango,
I love frozen yogurt, I should love you too. But truth be told, you’re just not my favorite fro yo establishment. Your nice and all and I think it’s great that you can make smoothies too. But let’s be real, your flavors need improvement. What’s with all the fruitiness? Blueberry, pomegranate, white peach, vanilla etc.
I crave fro yo flavors that makes me forget it’s the healthy option. I appreciate that you had at least two none fruit flavors, peppermint and dark chocolate. But even still, your overall taste is more yogurt like and less like a sweet frozen treat. And what’s with the giant sized cups? At .45 cents/​ounce my small serving ran me $ 3 yet looked so small in that ginormous container.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t think I will be seeing you again. I’ve been having an affair with Yo My Goodness and Chill for .40 cent/​ounce.
Yours Truly,
Fro Yo Ice Queen

Oh.My.GOD.
Seriously. The fro yo craze has left me puzzled til now. Red Mango is where it’s at! I stopped by the new Kirkwood location (which is having their grand opening on Saturday Jan 15 — so go, you will get free fro yo from 10 – 3) to get a smoothie. I was greeted right away and asked if I had been there. They explained how it worked, you get your yogurt, then toppings. They encouraged me to try several flavors and that’s where the OMG factor comes in. Cinnamon. Peppermint. *Drooooool* Amazing. They had a lot of other flavors that looked cool too. I REALLY wanted to get a cup of this but since I was running errands, I went for a smoothie instead. I got the 4 berry, and it is pure deliciousness. Maybe a bit pricey, but worth it, in my opinion.
I can’t WAIT to return and get that frozen yogurt. I’m your newest loyal fan!
