Red Mango

Save yourself the time and trouble, and just do not come here.
First off, I’m not picky about frozen yogurt, but this stuff was just awful. Every single flavor was sour, and the sorbet had a really airy and gross texture.
Not a great selection of toppings, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up with salmonella from the cookie dough. The whipped cream was sitting in a bucket of water (?).
The worst part was the FIGHT that broke out while I was there. There was a group of about 7 girls, probably around 15 years old, taking HUGE samples (and buying nothing) and taking up the whole self-​service area. Two girls started yelling and threatening to hit each other until finally one of the employees got them to leave. I asked if things like this happened often and they said yes!
To the manager — please hire a more mature and experienced staff. And please try to resolve this issue with the high schoolers coming in and wreaking havoc! If we’ve managed to keep crackheads and homeless people out of the coffee shop I work at in New Orleans, you can keep some high school kids out.

Good product but the service at this place is RIDICULOUS!!!
Every time I come here on my lunch break for a smoothie it’s always at least a 30 minute ordeal –
— you have to yell to the back to get a staff member to come out (or you could just walk out with your FroYo)
not sure why no one is ever at the register or in the FOH…
— when they finally do come out they seem clueless and completely under trained… (the staff literally rotates every week)
— they’ll take your order and «forget» to make your smoothie while they chat on their phone and you’re just sitting there giving them the passive aggressive evil eye from across the room…
— each staff member makes your smoothie in a completely different way — no consistency what so ever.

This is the only rozen yogurt place I have been to that does not have chocolate frozen yogurt! It’s not a fluke, its a store policy! Without chocolate they will not get my business, or any chocolate lover’s business!

I ordered the strawberry banana energizer smoothie. It was very yummy. It’s very filling, next time I’ll order the smaller size. I’ve tried the yogurt and it was just OK. I’ll stick with smoothies when coming here.

As of my visit, the RM site incorrectly listed this StuyTown location as non-​self serve. That said, the lone staffer was very friendly on my visit and kept insisting I top off my birthday freebie despite the lack of a minimum and refused payment for the few cents I exceeded it by as a result. Kind of an awkward spot for an RM but it was pretty crowded early on a weekday.

Not really a Red Mango fanatic and I seldom walk in but I will if I am on my way to work since it’s nearby. This is by far my favorite location. The Red mango team here are superstars especially Aaron and Andres because they see over 100 people a day yet they still remember who I am and that I am ordering a smoothie. I also want to shout out Karina and Leanne for always being vibrant and friendly. I think they are awesome and take their job seriously. If you like smoothies please check this location out!

Didn’t realize Red Mango had switched over to a self-​serve format. Pretty cool when you’re looking for just a tiny bit of something sweet. All in all a good location. I suppose some sample cups would have been nice but I ended up sticking with original, which I love at Red Mango. It’s actually tart like yogurt is supposed to be!

Kinda like 16 handles as stated where you serve yourself. The last time I’ve been to a red mango, the workers were the one to scoop for me but I’m guessing they changed that. Not as many flavors here but the workers are very friendly. Though there were a few flies flying around

It’s been a few years since I’ve been to a Red Mango and things have changed. I’ve only been to this location once and they have about 8 – 10 flavors in self-​serve machines and a self-​serve toppings bar. More like 16 Handles than before where you ordered from someone. On one hand, it’s nice to pick multiple flavors. But the self-​serve topping bar looks a bit messy.
They charge by weight also and I don’t think they adjust the scale for the weight of the cup. Surprised that my yogurt came to more than $ 8 and I used the smallest cup.

One of the better locations in the city. Spacious and comfortable and the staff are nice and helpful. I tend to get the self serve yogurt so I don’t interact with them too much, but either way it’s a great spot for fro-​yo.

I visit Red Mango probably 3 – 5 times a week. Living in Stuyvesant Town you pass Red Mango everyday to take the L train. I especially love this location because there are several employees who start making my pomegranate smoothie as soon as they see me walk through the door. I use to get frustrated because this location would always run out of pomegranate during the middle of the week, but now they seem to be on top of things. High 5 for Red Mango Stuytown!

I live right around the corner and was very excited when I saw that they were putting this in, it meant that I would no longer have to walk to 30^th and 3^rd for Tasti D-​lite and 16 Handles.
However, I was soon very disappointed. Their selection is not nearly as good as almost every other frozen yogurt place (with the exception of Pinkberry which has almost no selection at all). There is no chocolate yogurt option, the gummy bears are really gross, and they don’t have the mini peanut butter cups!
But at least it was self server. However the containers is uses for some of its toppings, the fountain like effect, are often broken and aren’t as easy to control, would must rather scoop my chocolate chips into my bowl.
I will continue to walk up to Tasti D-​lite (by far the best frozen yogurt place in the area) and could only see my self stopping here if I really really wanted frozen yogurt but was also feeling very lazy.
Overall, pretty disappointed.

So good to end my day with a yummy frozen yogurt! I love how this is self serve and there are so many toppings to choose from.

The yogurt and toppings are fair, but more than anything I appreciate the service at this particular Red Mango. The staff in the afternoon are friendly and helpful. I was recently introduced to Red Mango and now I go as often as I can. Not to mention this months promo… «Fill-​up Your Cup for $ 5 B4 5»… you cant beat it, especially for a place that typically charges by weight.

Um, it’s a SELF-​SERVE RED MANGO. WITH BOBA AS A TOPPING OPTION. I LOVE Red Mango so to find out that this particular one was a self-​serve one with tons of different flavors, definitely made my day. I can’t wait to go and get another soon. It’s a bit pricier than other self-​serve froyo places — but I guess that’s because it’s Red Mango.

Having waited since I saw the construction for about a few months for this location to open, this is as good as it gets, having a red mango within a 10 block radius of your home. But the placement of the self serve yogurt dispensers in the back of the location is a tad weird, and there never seems to be enough seating. Oh well, red mango, here I come.

I love self serve. I love having a variety of flavors to choose from. I love putting on the toppings myself. I don’t love the amount I have to pay at the end, but that’s okay.

Red Mango is of the greek-​style frozen yogurt. Rather than being sweet, it’s more tangy. And the big kick is that you can get oh, about a zillion and one toppings.
I could probably eat Red Mango every day, if it wasn’t stupid expensive. And price used to be by size and number of toppings, but now they’re moving to self-​serve and price by weight. Grr. However, this location was just opening and doing a freebie offer. Full size serving with as many toppings as you want. Holy cow!
Nice location. A little narrow, but well-​run. I was amazed at the number of flavors they have. Even last year, Red Mango was all about plain, maybe vanilla, and a seasonal flavor. Now, we have cake batter, coconut, pomegranate, nutella, peanut butter, peach, strawberry, pumpkin spice, and probably others that I can’t remember! I got a swirl of original and nutella. Original was good (assuming you like greek yogurt). Nutella was a little rich for my taste.
Toppings include cereals, fresh fruit, mochi, yogurt chips, and more traditional ice cream toppings. I did crushed graham crackers and strawberries. Then I added strawberry boba, which was like bubble tea pearls crossed with fruit gushers. Everything was delicious.
I wish I went to Red Mango more often, but it’s costly. It’s still a nice treat, and if you haven’t tried it, I think you should!
Also, in honor old-​school Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror episodes (which I’m watching like crazy this October), I think we should ditch the «fro-​yo» moniker and use «frogurt» instead.
House of Evil Owner: Beware, for the doll carries a terrible curse.
Homer: That’s bad.
House of Evil Owner: But it comes with a free frogurt!
Homer: That’s good!
House of Evil Owner: The frogurt is also cursed!
Homer: That’s bad.
House of Evil Owner: But you get your choice of toppings!
Homer: That’s good!
House of Evil Owner: The toppings contain sodium benzoate!
Homer: …
House of Evil Owner: …That’s bad.
Homer: Can I go now?
Happy almost-​Halloween everybody!

The yogurt here isn’t as good as 16 Handles or Tasti D-​Lite. It’s self serve and you pay by the weight. We went to the register and both were broken. The frustrated workers were continuously rebooting the machines while our yogurt melted. I’m counting the days until these places start closing en masse. They have popped up everywhere over the past year or two.

I have been a fan of Red Mango since I first tried it, compared it to Pinkberry as that was the big fad and competitor and liked their frozen yogurt, toppings, service and self serve option more. This new location took a while to open but is super clean, functional and convenient. The guy who works at the counter is super friendly and it is the same great froyo and toppings you have come to know and love.
