Red Mango

This really is not good frozen yogurt. Super tart and icy. Pretty much just ate the toppings and threw the rest out. For someone who is fro-​yo obsessed, this was a huge let down.

We came here for the crepes. For being right next to a Subway (both the sandwich spot, and mtba), I was pleasantly surprise on the quality and freshness. I will definitely come here more often, it’s very close to home. I got the Bacon, egg and vege, and the wifeypoo got the honey banana and almonds crêpe. Excellent!

Not bad. Tried it on a hot summer day when I was in the area and decided to treat myself. I think I might be more of a Pinkberry and Yogurtland. Yogurtland hasn’t made it’s way up to the bean yet and Pinkberry, while having a limited selection, tastes more like actual yogurt– creamy and tart. The flavor I had, even though it wasn’t sorbet, tasted more like it was.

* Limited selection of flavors and toppings.
* Staff-​made/​priced by topping count, which is much less enjoyable than self-​made/​priced by weight.
* Some of the yogurt just did not taste right, causing several members of our group to throw their yogurt away before finishing — maybe a bad batch?
* There is a large TV which runs a slideshow of photos, rather than just putting posters on the wall. Cool idea, but the album is just a collection of lame, poorly-​shot, sometimes awkward photos from someone’s vacation. Weird.

They need more flavors. I’ve been coming here since I moved to Boston in January and their flavors have stayed the same! I am a big froyo person and variety is important. Plus they keep a lot of old toppings out and my m&m’s have tasted funny and my mochi balls have been hard. I think they are in the process of building up their crêpe business so it’s hectic in there but they should definitely improve their service. I don’t think some of the staff knows exactly what to do and there are a lot of errors and it takes a while to be served/​pay for your order. Also the wifi doesn’t work too well :(. Couple of tips to sum it up — do a little bit of reinventing with the flavors, train the staff better on making the smoothies/​shakes, and be a bit more organized.

I really like red mango over Pinkberry. They have a few choices and though there’s not much difference between them and Pinkberry, it’s a personal choice.

Came here with my roommate at around 10:30ish right before they were going to close (sorry!!) since we really wanted frozen yogurt. The girl helping us was super nice even though we came as they were closing, and she didn’t seem annoyed at all needing to get toppings from the back since my friend got a parfait. Would definitely frequent this location more often if it were cheaper, since it’s so close!

So little options…
But they have original tart so I’m okay. Even the fruit selection is pretty lacking. But I can get my make your own yogurt fix even in Massachusetts so it ain’t too bad.

Phenomenal… And Getting Even Better
Having more options for frozen yogurt than we know what to do with, we have tried them all. The PInkberrys, Berrylines, Mixxx, all of them. But, Red Mango is our favorite. The yogurt just tastes better and the flavors are always changing and getting better.
The latest amazing flavor was Lucky Taro (think of it as a sweet type of poi or taro mash). Completely unique, mild, and delicious. Topped with mochi bits, it was a perfect way to cool down. My wife got the peanut butter which was rich and delicious. Very authentic tasting too. In contrast to Pinkberry, Red Mango’s yogurt has less of the sour aftertaste. And I do like Pinkberry a lot, I just think Red Mango’s yogurt is a bit better. Other great flavors include pineapple, oreo, white chocolate, and coconut. Red mango has quite a selection of toppings.
Overall, Red Mango offers fantastic yogurt with great variety and steady innovation in their flavors.

I’ve always loved Red Mango, even though it is hard to find them these days :(I never fell in love with Pinkberry or Yogurtland (the worst), since both of theirs border on the line of soft-​serve and have even more added sugar than there should be. If there isn’t a distinct tang, then it’s not truly frozen YOGURT, just frozen sugar milk lol.
But the thing I love most is that Red Mango has plenty of fresh, high-​quality fruits with little temptation for unhealthy items, such as chocolate chips, Oreo cookies, M&M’s, etc. Need summer to arrive already (forget about spring), so I can get me some! Going now would just be ironic ;)

What happened to the yogurt quality here? Maybe it’s just a fluke, but the froyo consistency has gone downhill from what I used to get here. The original looks and tastes like I’m eating snow. Granular and bland. Not even close to tart. A regular size used be easy to finish, now it was difficult to get through half.

Not a variety of flavours and the toppings are not exactly the most crave quenching :(I had the pomegranate flavour with mochi and almond roca. It was okkk but did not quench my craving unfortunately :(I need to find a self serve froyo place that has lots of flavours to choose from

The sign that compares «ours» and «theirs» says a lot about this yogurt. Although the consistency of the yogurt may not be as «creamy or smooth» as pinkberry or yogurt land there are reasons.
This yogurt does not have corn syrup, artificial flavors, corn starch, fake ingredients etc. when you can not add these chemicals and use all natural ingredients you are limited with the outcome.
I appreciate red mangos desire to produce a yogurt not so chemically created but again it is limited in the taste, consistency and aftertaste. The plain with fresh fruit is usually my choice and it curbs a crave for ice cream or some other higher calorie choice.
It is in the same storefront as a subway subshop and not such an appealing place to sit an enjoy your treat so it is a nice day you can take the desert outside and enjoy on one of the tables in the «courtyard» type area. However, looks like a new tea shop s opening next door that looks interesting. It is going into the space that was a tanning spa. I am gong to check that out when it opens and Unilocal about it!!!

After a day of bike riding I wanted to enjoy some froyo loaded up with fruit. I have been to red mango before but not this location. This is surprising considered I attended Northeastern for two years while this location was open. Anyway, you walk in and immediately get a whiff of the Subway next door. Some people may like that smell but I think the smell of Subway is horrendous (processed meats and freezer packed veggies).
I also don’t like the fact that it is not a self serve froyo where you add your own toppings. They pretty much took away my favorite part of froyo asside from the froyo itself. I still had a pretty decent parfait but I wanted the do it yourself expereince. If you want an employee to do it for you, come here. If you would like to make it yourself, head to one of the froyo places on newbury or by fenway.

I tend to like Red Mango more than Pinkberry (froyo is way too tarty). I like the creaminess of RM’s froyo, and there are a ton of toppings to choose from, although I prefer to stay in my «original flavor/​mango/​mochi/​watermelon» bubble.
It is slightly more expensive than other froyo places in the area, but offers better quality.

The first ever froyo place that I’ve hated. The froyo is creamy but it’s super tangy and it doesn’t taste like froyo at all.
Will not come back, even though I see deals on living social and groupon.

Five stars for the best peanut butter fro yo I’ve found anywhere. If only the rest of their flavors could live up. I paired my peanut butter deliciousness with red raspberry sorbetto hoping to create a PB&J-like concoction, but the J in my creation was overly sour and really yucked my yum.
Also, 75 cents for your first topping and 50 cents for every one thereafter is ludicrous considering how much they actually give you. Take a note from Berryline, Red Mango – charge a fixed price for multiple toppings and let ‘em fly!

Red Mango isn’t exactly my favorite place but I have came here several times. The yogurt isn’t quite as smooth as Pinkberry’s but it’s slightly better than Berry Freeze and Mixx. They have more topping choices than Pinkberry but not as much as MIXX and Berry Freeze.
The price is slightly more expensive for the quality. The staff are teenagers or younger adults but always friendly.

As per an update on my last review: the line never seems to be too long now, but maybe that’s because I was only back in Boston for a week in Winter, or maybe it’s because there is competition now.
Still great yoghurt overall, this time I got the cookies and cream small (which was massive! I think they changed sizes) which was good at first, but I got a bit sick of it. The fruit was still super fresh and delicious.

It has been more than two weeks since my first experience with Red Mango. The first time I had it, I was on New York City’s 32^nd Street. The second time I had it, I was on Boston’s Huntington and Mass Avenue. I decided to come to this location since I happened to be walking near the Prudential Center and Symphony Hall.
I ordered a Small Original Flavor with Blueberries and Mangoes to see how different this Red Mango is compared to the one I went in New York City. It was definitely cheaper than the version I had in New York City but it was not that much of a difference. Boston’s was a total of $ 4.01 while New York’s was a total of $ 4.57. I thought the mango pieces were smaller and less juicier compared to the one in New York, but the yogurt and blueberries were still good. The yogurt still had the tasty and cool creaminess, while the blueberries were big and juicy.
One great advantage that this Red Mango has compared to New York City’s is that there are a few comfortable leather chairs, so you can just kick back and read a book while enjoying your yogurt (the New York 32^nd Street location does not even have any chairs). It’s also at a great location. It’s near the Symphony Hall, and usually open until 11 PM on weekdays, so if you are in the mood for some good frozen yogurt after watching a performance, this could be your best choice. It’s also near the Christian Science Plaza, so you can sit outside and enjoy the nice scenery. This is not a bad location to get some good frozen yogurt, especially during the summer, and as of 2010, it is the only Red Mango in Boston.
