Red Mango

This establishment is now CLOSED

Walked by and spotted this almost-​hidden neighborhood gem of a smoothie joint. Glad I stopped in! The friendly owner encouraged me to sample their self-​serve frozen yogurt, and the Slam Dunk (Oreo) and Strawberry Milkshake were both amazing. I bought a small Strawberry Energizer (yogurt, strawberry, banana & energy boost) for the rest of my afternoon stroll, and it’s delicious. Great location in the middle of boutique shopping.

You would never think to try their smoothies, but I personally think they beat Jamba Juice! I love coming here for a smoothie after a workout. They have so many different options!

It was so good, I forgot to take a picture! I had a healthy mix of about 6 different flavors. The cashier was pretty layed back and quick with adding everything we put on the scale.
I will definitely recommend

Pomegranate with the fruity bubble things. Even if you have a full meal, there’s always room for Red Mango.

I feel pretty spoiled living in Oak Park and having the only red mango café outside of New York that serves food and juices in addition to the regular smoothies and fro-​yo. I came in here expecting to get some fresh juice in the morning but forgot that not all stores are the same. Luckily the smoothies here are pretty good and I decided on having the tropical acai blues. It was very healthy tasting and and gave me a nice morning boost. These smoothies also come with no added sugar, and that’s great because most of the stuff is sweet enough already. In regard to the fro-​yo, the nutty potion flavor is amazing!!! That and the slam dunk (oreo mix) are probably the best fro-​yo flavors. Definitely not on the nutritious side, but makes for a great summer treat.

Have loved Red Mango locations in many states, always a favorite stop for our family. This location was a disappointment: limited seating, unusually unresponsive manager to a crystallized honey dispenser issue and not as clean as most Red Mangos.

This is my absolute favorite Red Mango store in the city. The fruits are always fresh and the variety of yogurts that have at one time is great (usually 10 or so flavors).
My favorite is the taro! They usually always have it when I’m there. If that’s not available, coconut is the way to go.

Just delicious. Red Mango is good pretty much always. This location, in particular, is just great. Ample sample cups are out for the taking (not the 2 the employees typically, so generously give you at other self-​serve places). It’s self-​serve which is awesome. The toppings are so yummy and great variety. In my opinion, Red Mango has it’s strong hand in their tangy flavors.

Very good — love that they have the taster cups out so you can taste before committing! All of the flavors were good, but had a tangy taste — probably because it’s real yogurt, probiotics, etc. Really good choice of toppings and tables outside if it’s nice enough to sit out there.

Super clean and easy enough to understand the self serve concept. I loved that they put out tester cups, too! I need to test the water before I commit to a certain flavor (or flavors, if they’re a good combo!) so that won me over.
I also loved that they had strawberry, mango, AND blueberry popping boba. So nice to have that variety, especially since I love that stuff.

Your typical frozen yogurt shop. I love their frozen yogurt and toppings but the location off Armitage never smells nice inside :(

i *LOVE* red mango… i like this location better than others because this one is self serve… You can mix and match flavors w/​o looking like a crazy person in front of the workers… Also, you can combine a bunch of different fruits, cereals, and bobas to whatever your tummy desires =)

Went during yesterday’s unseasonably warm 60-​degree weather. This is much needed addition to this strip of Armitage. The Nutella peanut butter swirl is AMAZING! Extra stars for being self-​serve! I appreciate that I can put as much or as little in my cup as I want and get charged only for the amount I buy. I love the selection of toppings, too– lots of chocolatey/​candy options AND fresh fruit=win! Very reasonably priced. Cute and clean. Will be back very soon!

The staff were very friendly and made me feel welcome. I would go back simply because of the friendly attitudes.

Red Mango caused quite a stir in my neighborhood last summer when it opened. For some reason however, I hadn’t made it in until recently. My mistake. This place is great! The owner is really friendly and the smoothies are delicious. Welcome to the neighborhood Red Mango!

Awesome place for ice cream. Don’t know what possessed me to buy ice cream in the middle of December but I did and it was greatastic! Lots of condiments to choose from and the staff was very good. They made sure I knew what types of ice creams they had before I got something I would not like. There was so much stuff to choose from I had to make the most wtf combination. I had Snickers with, dried cranberries, blue berries, twix, graham cracker crumbs, mango, strawberries, sprinkles, and those little exploding balls of mango (no homo) with peanut butter ice cream and nutty something ice cream. It was great. I was even colder outside after I was done. I’d do it again.

I used to go to the Red Mango location on Clark & Diversey. It’s not a self-​serve location and they are limited to 3 or 4 flavors at most. When I saw that a new Red Mango was opening up only steps from my home I was excited! When they opened up and I saw that it was a self-​serve joint with about 10 flavors to choose from I almost cried tears of joy!
My boyfriend and I went in there one day while walking our dog (the dog waited outside, of course) and we pumped and topped to our heart’s content. I chose the Cake Batter flavor and my honey went for this same ol’ boring chocolate. I swear I have to get him to broaden his palate. But anyway … they price by the ounce including your toppings. Love it! The nice young lady at the cash register also signed us up for our own Red Mango loyalty cards.
We took our treats outside to eat at the cute little bistro tables in front of the shop. Marisol, the very nice lady who owns the place, stopped by our table to make sure everything was OK (it was!!!) and to invite us to the store’s official Grand Opening on Friday. They were giving out free frozen yogurt and other goodies. Free stuff??? I love free stuff!
On Grand Opening day we got in line and waited for our turn to get into the shop and create our new treat. The line moved quickly and before we knew it we were inside. I got the hazelnut-​flavored «Nutty Potion #9» which, next to Cake Batter, is my new favorite. I piled on the toppings, including gummy bears, yogurt chips, mochi, fresh strawberry, and Craisins. Finally, a little swirl of Ghiradelli (sp?) Chocolate sauce and I was ready to dig in.
I am so happy these guys have opened in the ‘hood! I am addicted to Red Mango!

I had the milk chocolate and peanutbutter swirl, yumm. The friendly owner was there and gave me a free coffee chiller, I’m swearing off frappaccinos since the chiller is smoother, like a shake. I like that its self serve so I can get exactly what and how much I want. I’ll be coming back soon. Welcome to the neighborhood!
