Red Mango

There are a lot of frozen yogurt places, but I think the one thing that really stands out is the service you get.
This place had very poor customer service. When I went in with a group of friends, the guy at the counter appeared to be angry that we were bothering him. Some of my friends had a $ 5 promotional coupon for getting the Red Mango app, and he did not seem happy about that at all.
When stores put on promotions, I think it is an opportunity for themselves to make a good impression on people who do not normally visit their store in hopes that they will return as repeat customers. Otherwise, it is a waste of a promotion.
I was pretty upset at the service we were getting, so I didn’t even order anything (prices are shocking anyways).
Go somewhere else!

This is frozen yogurt day for me, so here it goes.
All in all, I like Red Mango. As I have said on past yogurt-​related posts, in the taste department, I don’t see a whole lot of differentiation in these high end yogurt places, so your rating is heavily influenced by non-​taste factors.
The good of Red Mango:
(1) There is no doubt that it is a lot healthier for you that most (or all) other dessert options out there.
(2) The vibe is cool and it is generally clean.
(3) The location is convenient.
(4) The topping options are solid.
The bad of (this) Red Mango:
(1) Parking is getting worse by the day.
(2) Some times the staff is sort of odd; nice, but often quite odd — don’t really know how else to say it.
(3) The yogurt flavor options are lacking — come on, Red Mango, you can ante up with more than 3 – 4 flavor options.
(4) The price sucks. I literally always leave with sticker shock.
I have been going to Red Mango now for a long time and will continue to do so. It is good and I recommend it but it is not my #1 go to yogurt spot right now.

Love Red Mango!

Good concept but TERRIBLE service– Just left the local Red Mango and extremely disappointed in the service that I received. I was the only customer that needed attention, and the cashier was in the back talking on the phone. After about a minute, he comes from the back STILL on the phone talking about his government class. He resumes talking on the phone (without greeting me) while standing at the register, which is where I was directly standing on the opposite side. AFTER finishing his conversation 1 – 2 minutes later (and me staring at him), he finally takes my order. I then order a lemon honey iced green tea, which took him all of five seconds to pour; really «appreciated» that level of care and «service». The regular sized iced tea that I ordered cost $ 2.93 with tax. For that price, I could have a VENTI sized black iced tea (often with complimentary flavored syrup pumps on request) from Starbucks. I like the concept of Red Mango, but the location I visited is an extremely poor representation of what the company has to offer. Starbucks is all of a few shops down from Red Mango in this shopping strip and an easy remedy to such poor service.

I love tart frozen yogurt. And the original flavor at Orange Leaf does NOT satisfy me. (I like them for other reasons, but I’m gonna focus on the original yogurt here.) When I lived in California, I seriously had a monthly budget line-​item for froyo. Pink Berry, Fraiche, etc. Even then, Red Mango was my favorite of the major chains. And I was very happy to see one here in SA, but it’s not a cheap food. It’s on par with your frappuccino, in other words.
I usually don’t mess around with flavors. The original here manages to be the perfect mix of sweet, tart, and creamy. Other spots have yogurt that looks like watery frozen salted breast milk. Seriously. None of that BS at RM. My new favorite topic is mandarin orange. And if I opt for flavored yogurts, pineapple and tangomonium are most likely to lure me away from the standard.
It’s not clear whether they’re keeping their probiotic tea or not… but the smoothies are worth a try. The two dudes who work here are pretty friendly and they’ll give you the inside scoop. They even remember what you order if you come here as often as I do. I hardly ever feel like ice cream anymore. RM is just so much more refreshing.

Fancy shmancy… gimme that froyo!!! I happened to be near the area and once again had a thought to myself (we have these conversations regularly fyi)… «Self, we like mangoes. We like froyo. So what say we try this place out Good idea, self!» At this point, there was no need to run it by my partner in crime as he was already getting ready to park and head that way. So either way, the decision had been made. ;)
The only person we saw working there was this guy and he sounded jubilant when we stepped in (of course, I’m being facetious). We stepped in and heard, «hiiiiii…» in such a way that he sounded a little vexed. He wasn’t rude about it but I think maybe since he was just opening up, he was still processing the day. I was surprised at myself as I usually take that as uncustomer-​friendly but I think I was sort of feeling the same way so let it go.
We took a look at the toppings and saw one of my favorites, mochi, smiling up at us. Grinning. Then our eyes went to something that was round and a vibrant pink. They sorta looked like pearls (bubbletea pearls) but we knew they couldn’t have been made out of tapioca. We asked the so-​excited guy what it was and in a sort of monotone-you’re-not-the-first-person-who’s-asked-me-this-and-I-have-to-constantly-repeat-myself-over-and-over-again-God-please-let-me-go-now kinda voice, stated they were seaweed-​encased strawberry-​flavored popping boba. Ooohhh…
We tried the pumpkin spice and the cane-​sugar Cola and enjoyed both. The final order was: pumpkin spice with mochi and cane-​sugar Cola and the seaweed-​encased strawberry-​flavored popping boba (what a mouthful). We relished it all. Not too sweet and the mochi didn’t harden up even while taking our time enjoying each spoonful.
The price: yes, it’s expensive. For the two small orders, I think the total came out to about $ 12. So if someone is on a budget, you might want to think about RM as a once-​in-​awhile treat.

«Red Mango» is all that my girlfriend kept saying… She saw one as we were driving by during my visit to San Antonio and since then no matter what anyone said, all she heard in her head was, «Red Mango».
My gf has raved about this place before and said she’d make stops to the Dallas airport just for the Red Mango there. Apparently, that’s the only one she knew about til now.
For those who don’t know, it’s not just «frozen yogurt» or «fro-​yo». You don’t just top the glob of yogurt with mochi, Captain Crunch cereal or your favorite fruit topping. This is some posh form of what others might mistake as «just desert».
We ordered the parfait (per the girlfriend’s recommendations). I ended up getting both the Mixed Fruit and Tropical versions. They did their mixing and topping and such and we took it to go. We got back to the house and I had a taste — it was pretty good. I can’t rave about it like the Misses. It was frozen yogurt, some oats and fruit in a nice layered look.
Don’t get me wrong. The parfait was good but personally I like the «fro-​yo» style better. I get to put on whatever topping I want and the flavor (other than the oats) end up tasting more personalized than the Red Mango. The option of putting whatever I want on my frozen yogurt has a strong appeal to me. The parfait WAS very good but just not anything I’d rave about.
Cost was negligible. I think I paid $ 24 for 4 parfaits; ~6 bucks each.

We just started putting on the mango boba topping on our frozen yogurt and it is awesome! The boba is filled with mango juice inside, so it explodes with mango yumminess when you bite into it. It’s what keeps bringing us back! This place doesn’t have the huge flavor selection that some other places have, but that doesn’t bother me since I’m more into the toppings anyways.

My first time experience with Red Mango was kind of disappointing. I pass by this yogurt place every time my boyfriend & I go to Quarry Market but didn’t get to try it until recently, I’m really picky with where I get my yogurt but I was craving for some badly!
My favorite all time froyo place is at Pinkberry at Santana Row back in Northern California, & I’ve been meaning to find a replacement since I live here in San Antonio now. I’ve seen a Red Mango in Norcal before but never really tried it there, so I decided to try it here since there’s no Pinkberry anywhere around here!
We came in on a very hot day & the place was a bit packed. The whole place looked very clean & the atmosphere is great, I’m lovin’ the red colors. The staff was okay, they were busy so I understand if they’re not that over the top when it comes to customer service. No biggie.
I got the Pomegranate flavored yogurt w/​mochi & strawberries.
It was really expensive! I payed about $ 4.00 for a small? I forgot, but it was in the expensive range for the small size I got.
The Pomegranate & the strawberry toppings were really sour. I couldn’t handle how sour it was, but thank god I got some mochi in there to balance it out. I also sampled the Tart/​Original (My fave!) froyo, but that was really sour too. I’m not so sure if it’s really supposed to taste like that but I just like my froyo a little sweeter & creamy.
2 stars:
The location
The staff
& the cleanliness
I guess I’m going to have to wait till I go back to California to satisfy my froyo cravings :(

Regular Pomegranate Smoothie makes a great dinner with less than 300 calories. I am definitely a fan!

Yummm! Red Mango has tasty froyo and good smoothies.
Nice modern décor. The staff was friendly on my visit.
It’s a little on the spendy side though…

Red Mango is a South Korean company. I used to live in Seoul just down the street from a Red Mango. This one is basically just like the one in Seoul. I love the Pumkin Spice frozen yogurt and look for any excuse to go back and get more. Worth a try; fairly low calorie treat.

Pretty good fruit-​tea smoothie. Seemed on the pricey side to me.
There was only one worker there so it took a while to get our orders, but he was friendly. However, there was plenty of seating and it’s a cool atmosphere so definitely worth a star or two.

I like ice cream. No, you don’t understand. I REALLY like ice cream. I have had up to 5 different flavors of ice cream at a time in my freezer for no good reason except that I wanted them and don’t like having to decide to take only one home from the store (also why I don’t do well at pet stores). Newfound revelation: I LOVE Red Mango frozen yogurt.
Red Mango isn’t ice cream, it’s frozen yogurt… but that makes it no less of a delicious frozen treat. Lately when I’ve had a craving to go out and eat ice cream, I try to steer myself towards Red Mango. It’s just as delicious as your standard ice cream, but far better for your health (that means you can eat more of it for longer). It’s got the tart flavor of natural yogurt, and all the flavors (I think generally only 4 in each store, sometimes with a seasonal selection) I’ve tried are great. Bonus is that after you finish eating it, you don’t feel like you’re being taken over by the sugary dairy fatness that is ice cream. It’s also no more spendy than a Marble Slab or a Cold Stone treat. Ice cream is expensive these days, guys. I, for one, am willing to not pay my cable bill for a little bit to eat a little more Red Mango.
My Red Mango treat: Tangomonium (a citrusy little number) with strawberries on top. Yum.

I couldn’t figure out the point behind this yogurt joint. There is a Jamba Juice right across the street that is selling a more viscous version of smooth fruit flavored sweets. I’m not going to say that it didn’t taste good, because it was no bad. But for the $ 6 that I spent on a medium cup with one topping I could have done better.
I will give it to these guys for kinda, but not really, helping find out where they have another frozen yogurt place where you do everything yourself and at the end get weighed for the cost. You know where you pick and mix all the flavors into a disgusting mush and add a ton of unnecessary and uncomplimentary toppings like fruity pebbles, mochi, kiwi fruit, and then smashed up peanut butter cups for 0.43/oz. Thats what I would have rather preferred. Still haven’t found that place here in SA.

Although not a new idea to the world, this low fat, colorful and delicious dessert topped with your choice of variety from cereals to fruits is a fun experience. The staff is friendly and helpful, and more than willing to let you sample all the flavors.
The ambiance is adorable, with a modern artistic twist, although the chairs could stand to be more comfy.
Overall I was aware I was paying for the ambiance and branding of the yogurt, but now a days, I feel we’re all aware of «paying for the experience».
Minus one star due to the nail shop smell that is still lingering since opening. Not sure what that’s about.

Oh, the price of it!
Clearly I have found the high end of frozen yogurt shops. The marketing strategy behind this yogurt chain reminds me of Ben Stiller’s Tony Bobbins parody, «I hypnotize you with my teeth and you pay me money.»
The elegant red décor of this little yogurt shop would make some local day spas turn a few shades of green. Dazzling the eyes with a host of geometric shapes, fiery red-​orange accents upon an ivory and cream palate, LCD menu boards, Anton Corbijn simulated photography with color burst focal points and all within a shop so antiseptically clean even Howie Mandel would have no problem eating here.
The environment is indicative of the product itself, simple but complex. Simple but not simply done. There are but 4 yogurt flavors: original, tango, pomegranate, and the seasonal which currently is pumpkin. There aren’t many more mix ins either but they are carefully selected. Today I choose pomegranate yogurt with craisins.
This yogurt clearly maintains the tangy sour yogurt taste of live yogurt cultures. I couldn’t discern much pomegranate from my frozen treat but the sweetness paired with my tart chewy craisins was refreshing and delectable. I am not a big fan of the pop rock, tingling taste upon the tongue of yogurt to begin with but I appreciate the effort made for a healthier alternative to ice cream.
Now the only negative was the price tag of $ 4.50 for a small with one mix in. I suppose I was paying for the ambiance and the right to enjoy this fine treat in the shopper’s paradise that is The Quarry Market.

Red Mango is one of those fancy new yogurt shops in town, promising a cool treat without a high calorie count. Out of the yogurt places I have tried so far in San Antonio, I think the actual yogurt at this place tastes better than most. It comes in four flavors, original, pomegranate, green tea and tangomoniun. I tried both the pomegranate and the tango (which is pretty much orange) and both were better than I expected.
They have plenty of mix-​ins for your yogurt, and I went with some fresh blackberries that must have been on steroids due to their gargantuan size, but were tasty nonetheless. They had samples of their teas out when I went and I got to try their wildberry hibiscus flavor, which has no caffeine and was pretty good.
Overall, Red Mango exceeded my expectations compared to the other yogurt places here in town. They are located a bit off the beaten track, being behind Quarry Market in the new section, but if you are looking for a fruity and refreshing treat, don’t miss it.

I stopped in here because I’ve been craving icecream for my sore throat (damn this cold) and needed something without all the calories.
This is a pretty small shop and I was lucky enough to be the only customer. The guy working behind the counter let me try out a couple different teas and yogurts so that I could make sure I picked out what I liked.
I ended up with a smll regular yogurt with mango and strawberry toppings. It was pretty good. A reasonable alternative to high-​fat, high-​calorie icecream and with probiotics, too.

I’m happy there is finally a frozen yogurt shop in SA. I was getting tired of hearing how great it is from those annoying (ly lucky) Californians. No offense.
Actually, there are now two franchises in town selling this stuff, but I prefer this one. It is a quite simple shop, with four flavors of yogurt, and yummy toppings including fresh fruit and cereal. But the results are delicious and a healthier alternative to ice cream. I’m hooked.
