Red Mango

I took my five year old here on a date with his mom over the weekend. I did not find this place all that great. First, the atmosphere was quite bland. Not what you expect from a frozen yogurt place. Not colorful at all. Just red and white tables and chairs. Not a big deal, but not all that fun.
The yogurt dispensers did not work that well. The yogurt itself was not good either. We tried several flavors and they all tasted pretty similar. Limited options.
Red Mango’s frozen yogurt is however a lot better for you. They are certified kosher, gluten free, and free of high fructose corn syrup. They are not soy or dairy free. Something to keep in mind.
Overall, I was not all that impressed. Would I go again? Maybe. Nothing I would go out of my way for though.

Horrible call manners. Called to see what time my friend works there so I could surprise him. Was accused of playing a prank and got hung up on. Don’t plan on coming to this store any time soon.

2 days ago I took my mom & my daughter to Red Mango in Vienna. We’ve been here many times, usually if we ask for sample, the cup will be handed to us to get any sample we like by ourselves. But this time the owner who served us didn’t give us sample cups, instead, she has to be the one to get the sample for us. After couples of sample, my mom wanted to try just 1 more sample, which is Vanilla Bean, I asked the owner she replied «I can’t give you more, I’ve been giving you samples. You can just buy her a little in the cup».
It was so rude, I’ve never been treated this way. If it wasn’t for my daughter, I would’ve left right away. No wonder every time we come, mostly we’re the only customer. No wonder they have no business, she ruined her own business!

Waste of time. I really don’t like the yogurts of Red Mango. Also, there are limited flavors and all of these are tasteless.

Consistently fresh and delicious — a solid froyo establishment in Vienna. My favorite flavor is Plain/​Original, which has a tart and tangy flavor. The Lucky Taro flavor is also very good, according to my sister. The froyo comes out solid and firm, rather than melty (which is a big pet peeve).
There are lots of fresh toppings, and the toppings bar is always clean. I keep it simple with a sprinkle of brownie or oreo, strawberries, mango, and mochi.
It’s kind of pricey, but not compared to other froyo places. Froyo can get kind of expensive in general, so just be careful with the weight — if you’re not careful, the price can easily creep up. I once accompanied someone here who hasn’t been to this type of price-​by-​weight place before, and I think his froyo was almost $ 10!

Craving some frozen yogurt tonight and this was the only placed open at 8pm on a Sunday night. The flavors were good, there was some interesting choices like Aztec Spicy Chocolate, Tangominium (mixture of lemon, lime pomegranate). Menu boast a bunch of different items other than frozen yogurt. It has fruit smoothies, Greek yogurt and fresh fruits. You can buy a banana in store as well. I enjoyed the Aztec Spicy Chocolate and Pomegranate. There’s plenty of selections for toppings and this location has a lot of different syrups to top of your yogurt. It was crowded when I was there, it’s probably because it’s a Sunday and it was chilly outside. I noticed they have a little «party room» that you can inquire about. I’m guessing for big groups of people?

So good– I like this better than pinkberry.

After our first visit, we were really wowed by the service and amazing, bright flavors We’ve been going for three years now, and has become a family tradition to go every Sunday.
The Red Mango here is super clean and the employees are super helpful and friendly. Definitely the best frozen yogurt place I’ve been to!

This Red Mango location is great! Super clean, the employee behind the register was very friendly and accomodating with me wanting to sample a couple flavors, and the air conditioning was a blessed relief after walking the few blocks down Main Street from Sushi Yoshi to get our froyo on.
They had my favorite flavor in the whole world (taro) as well as a really nice, tangy black cherry, so I mixed those and topped them with some fresh fruit. The mango was super ripe and delicious, and they actually had watermelon as a topping choice as well, which was new and novel to me. They both made for great toppers, along with the mango bubble things and some rainbow sprinkles (duhhhh).
I gotta say, I used to think Red Mango wasn’t anything particularly special, but I was very impressed with this location. I think they offer drinks and smoothies as well. Next time I’m hit with a craving for something icy sweet in the area, I will most definitely be back!

Horrible service! My friends and I came for froyo and smoothies. Unfortunately, the smoothie was too watery and more sour than usual. When I asked Elyssa at the front if something could be done, she went back into the corner, spoke to her colleague and never returned! Her response, or lack thereof was not what I quite expected!!! I’d have to pay for a brand new smoothie??? Ridiculous!
My advice to the managers and owner: Train your employees on what customer service is.

I drove by this place many times but never stop by. One night, after dinner, I decided to stop by here for a quick «healthy» dessert. I haven’t been to any fro yo places recently so this concept is new to me. You pick a cup size and then go to the self serve machine and fill up the cup with the flavor you want. Then you can go to the topping station and put on any toppings you want.
Right now, by far, the Taro is my favorite. It’s smooth and creamy and melt in your mouth. This will be my only flavor when I go here.
There are plenty of spaces and they do have upstair too. The only draw back is parking space but it’s not bad if you go late at night.

Great place to be with the family and the kids. My kids loved there Yogurt. The toppings are fresh and Yummy, may be not as plentiful as the Pink Berry but equally good. They have a large space on the 2^nd floor where kids can play and meetings can be done as well.
Staff was friendly and attentive. Parking can be an issue in Vienna sometimes and at this location, but you can park across the street at the bank after 5 pm without any problems. My favorite was the Coconut flavor as I am big fan of Coconut anyways. Nice areas to sit, they even have the Sofas to sit and relax, Starbucks style. Also serve Coffee as well, which can be a bonus.

:$ .48 an ounce
:10−12 flavors
:Plenty of toppings: different candies, cookies, fresh fruit, syrups, and cereals
On my visit, I sampled plain tart and birthday cake. I found the birthday cake flavor to be rather icy, and plain tart to be more milky than tart. Overall, this place is A-​OK, but I do wish that the flavoring was bolder.

(6÷28÷2012)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1) 100% all natural ingredients
2) Self-​serving
3) Gluten-​free
4) Probiotics
5) Non-​fat
6) Kosher
7) Plethora of healthy, fresh fruity toppings to choose from… and some unhealthy ones to satiate your sugar tooth too
8) Caloric intake per ounce is clearly listed above every flavor station
9) Clean
10) Free wifi
11) Only 49 cents per ounce (could be better but still cheap in my opinion!)
My favorite flavors were: Honey Badger, White Peach and the Original.
Final verdict: A great place to go for a delicious, cold, healthy treat.

Let me start by saying I am a huge froyo connoisseur. I’ve tried every place in the area and in other areas. Now, given that history, let me tell you about this froyo…
…Red Mango is hands-​down the best frozen yogurt place out there right now. It’s clean, vibrant and the staff is friendly enough and usually young Asian girls who do their job well. Nothing too spectacular, although, the location and parking are also good.
Now, the super part is the frozen yogurt itself and the options available. Why? Well, first, it’s all about the flavors. They’re not overflavored like at many froyo places to where it just tastes like ice cream. But they also aren’t underflavored. You know how Jelly Belly jellybeans REALLY taste like the flavor on the package? Same thing here — if you get dark chocolate froyo, it’s going to taste like a piece of dark chocolate. Same goes for the various fruit flavors, or the pumpkin pie spice in the fall.
Aside from having THE BEST-​tasting froyo, Red Mango also offers the largest and freshest range of toppings in the area. They always have lots of fresh fruit, including raspberries, pomegranate seeds and several options you won’t see elsewhere. They have the various candy and similar options for those of you who want it, too.
I would say definitely choose Red Mango over any other chain.
HOWEVER, I can’t give 5 stars for two reasons:
1) There’s no sugar-​free option like you can get at Yogenfrüz. Though, at least Red Mango doesn’t use anything unnatural, is fairly lo-​cal, and publishes the nutrition info clearly in the store.
2) Red Mango is a bit pricey. It’s tough to keep it under $ 10 when I got there with my lady on date night.
Overall, those are small complaints compared to how much utter joy Red Mango brings me.

A little pricey comparatively but definitely really good! I made a peach/​mango swirl with marshmallows, yogurt chips, real mango, and a vanilla wafer on top – delish! The key is to top it with lightweight toppings, though sometimes you just have to give into for what your stomach and heart are yearning.
They also had pomegranate and chai tea latte flavors as well, which definitely intrigued me. I would love to go back and try my hand at a parfait.

Oh my delicioiusness. Red Mango has taken froyo craze and kissed it with their own personal touch. I wouldn’t say this place is like every other self-​serve froyo joint, you have the option of not just filling a standard cup, but also creating parfaits and smoothies. Who wouldn’t want to create their own custom parfait swirl, especially if they offer seasonal flavors such as Pumpkin Spice. Also in the line up were flavors like Apple Orchid, Peach, Coconut, your standard tart and chocolate, among a few others. The toppings bar will have everything you need to top it all off, then some. Fruits, sprinkles, syrups, candy, granola, and then, there were the Japanese fruit burst balls. Yes, you read that right: Fruit. Burst. Balls. Definitely try the mango, it has a tapioca feel and bursts in your mouth like Gushers.
I don’t normally indulge in sweet goodness, but after my first experimental parfait, I had to go back and make a mini one with all the correct mesh of flavors.
Definitely check this place out, people are friendly, interior is inviting, the only pain here is the tight parking… but that’s no excuse to not try Red Mango.

I love froyo (especially tart) and since I just recently moved back to this area, I had never checked out Red Mango before. I was really excited to give it a try because I had heard that it was as good as Pinkberry. Lies. The quality of the yogurt at Pinkberry is much thicker and smoother. There’s something slightly off about the recipe for the yogurt at Red Mango – it’s a little more icy than I would like and less creamy. They offer multiple flavors – but most of them taste a little strange. I would recommend just sticking to the original.
I like the idea of self-​serve toppings and I’m a huge fan of mochi. The little juice balls always intrigue me as well and I like the selection of fresh cut fruit. You pay by weight, so I suppose whether or not you find it a bargain depends on your ability to reduce the quality-​to-​weight ratio to get the most bang for your buck. As my friend says, he loves to put coconut on because it’s like almost-​free flavoring.
Anyway, service is friendly and the place is spacious and clean. But, the taste left something to be desired. I’ve had better froyo and aside from the sweet satisfaction of creating your own yogurt concoction using self-​service, I see no advantages of Red Mango over Pinkberry.

I finally stopped in to see what the fuss was about on yet another frozen yogurt shop. At this rate, every city has got to at least have one «froyo» spot, right?
Located in Vienna, amongst other corner gems, is Red Mango. They own a really nice space, two floors, plenty of seating, clean, bright, and modern décor. There was only one lady running the shop during my visit — friendly and accommodating, offering us mini cups so that we could sample flavors to determine our yogurt choices. .48cents per ounce. RM was pretty quiet on this Sunday afternoon with the top floor blocked off with a sign. Not sure how busy they get on other days.
I believe they have about 10 – 12 different yogurt flavors.
I sampled the Tangomonium and Summer Melon. The Tangomonium had a slight tangy, citrus-​y flavor while the Summer Melon resembled that of a cantaloupe.
I whimly decided on four flavors: Madagascar Vanilla, Original, Sonoma Strawberry, and Blueberry. Unfortunately, I found all four flavors a bit underwhelming. I didn’t find any of them to hold a distinct, bold taste that left me saying «ooh, yea i definitely taste the [insert here the identified flavor!]» I didn’t find the frozen yogurt as rich or creamy in texture, and instead more on the icy, slushy side. None of them were tart in flavor, which in my opinion, is a necessary aspect in yogurt.
The Madagascar Vanilla was only a bit sweeter than the Original. I didn’t taste the slightest hint of strawberry in the Sonoma Strawberry that I almost forgot I got it. I wasn’t a fan of the Blueberry, it didn’t hold a true distinct blueberry taste to me, and tasted more like berry-​flavored medicine or Dimetapp.
Besides their yogurt, I was a fan of their selection of toppings like the popping boba (strawberry and mango juice) and the Ghirardelli syrup (which I didn’t try). I opted for the various fresh fruit and granola toppings to go with my yogurt as I felt that adding the chocolate syrup would entirely defeat the healthy yogurt aspect of the experience. I did, however, enjoy how fresh the shredded coconut flakes were.
Overall, Red Mango’s yogurt is A-​OK, but I wish their flavors were just a little bit more bold in flavor. I’d go back to try other flavors and toppings. My anticipated excitement ran a little short; hence rating just ran shy of the fourth star.

We were probably headed to Amphora (next door) because that has become a habit on Fridays after the meeting, but my friend said «Let’s go to Red Mango.» Says I, «Never heard of Red Mango; what is it?» Says she, «A yogurt place.» Says I «Yogurt huh? OK. We’ll go to Red Mango.» We did.
O-​M-​G-​! This place is wonderful! For the uninitiated, (moi) it’s a self-​serve yogurt bar. Chocolate, vanilla, blueberry, strawberry, coconut, pomegranate, and WHITE PEACH! Separate or swirled. Gluten Free. Grab the cup size of your choice and load up. And then the trimmings part. All the normal stuff you’d find at an ice cream joint but then a lot of fruit you’d never find: apples, peaches, mango, pear. There are also sauces in Ghirardelli pump jars. White, Caramel and Dark Chocolate. I got a little of each. This is also self-​serve.
You get to the end and there is a scale — they sell by the pound or ounce or something. (The scale is poor marketing. The last thing anyone in a place like this wants to be reminded of is a scale.) I didn’t ask actually, but two big containers came to $ 11.60 which I thought reasonable. Seating inside is spacious enough but it was a nice night so we wanted out. There is no outside seating but that didn’t deter either us or about 20 others who scattered themselves around the parking lot and onto the front lawn that faces Maple Avenue.
By the time I was finished I was ready to go back in for seconds, maybe even thirds. I didn’t. I came home, made some tea and wrote this note for your benefit.
Red Mango is, it turns out, a chain. If there is one in your neighborhood, I’d recommend you try it out. If there isn’t one, I’d recommend you move some place where there is. If you can’t do that maybe you could start a petition. :)
