Cafe Mangosix Coffee & Dessert

overpriced piece of junks don’t ever come here if u want mango juice. this is overhyped and not worth it. the customer service is horrible and they were closed according to ajc due to low health inspection scores.

I absolutely love the décor here. It’s industrialized and rustic. Aside from the look, I also love that it isn’t loud. It’s a great place to hang out with friends or to hunker down with a laptop/​book. The employees here are also friendly and polite which is another plus for me.
My favorite drink here is the coconut mango. The coconut cream mixed with the blended mango is just superb. Its coconut adds a rich, creamy depth while the mango is clean and ridiculously simple.
My other favorite treats are the froyos. I’ve tried both the mango and the blueberry. The toppings are good but that froyo is amazing. The froyo itself has this perfect hint of tanginess and it’s very rich.
Another type of goodie they offer are the bubble waffles. I’ve had the deluxe order with green tea ice cream. For once, I did not care for any of the toppings because the waffle itself was great! I love that it’s easy to pull apart the individual bubbles. Not to mention it’s delightfully crispy on the outside. (I’m starting to think I’m using way too many adjectives lol…)
During my last visit I saw some signs out front, as well as inside, advertising multiple strawberry drinks/​desserts. I might try them the next time I drop by.

I can see why many other people left this 3 stars.
From the moment I walked into the shop until eating, I thought I might be pleasantly surprised and give it a 4 or 5 star rating. The entrance area had an impressive wall decoration thing with replicas of the drink choices. it was pretty cute and cool. The menu pictures were all beautiful too.
A bit pricey, but I thought it’d taste wonderful and make the prices worth it.
Then I drank my boba tea. Uh. the taste was pretty bad. It tasted really powdery artificial. Like the bad kind of bubble tea. Bubbles in all of our cups were hard in the middle. Disappointing especially since it was $ 4 a cup.
The egg waffle however, was amazing. Super good and worth it. If I ever come here again, I’ll only get the waffle (and maybe a mango juice drink. Just not the bubble teas ever again).

Keeping the review short and sweet:
Pros:
— great ambiance
— plenty of space
— complementary wi-​fi
— very fresh drinks
Cons:
— pricey
— portion/​price ratio is off to me
The display of the drinks is nice and the taste is very fresh I must say. But compared to Boba Mocha where I’m a regular, I get a large (grande) for the price of their smalls… And the freshness is just as present. Wasn’t horrible but I won’t be returning.

I’m sorry mangosix. But I noticed months ago that there was no hand soap in the bathroom… I didn’t think that would come full circle and affect the quality and safety of the food and drink that you provide for your customers — I am essentially spending $ 6 on a drink that could give me food poisoning. I was already skeptical with the changes that mangosix made to begin with; now, my trust has simply been betrayed. Good luck to this business.

–sighs–
I wanted to drink or eat something sweet. they didn’t have any cakes I wanted, so I decided to go for a milk tea boba. The cashier, Johnny, was friendly and that was a plus for me, but I had to give this place a 3 stars because I thought this place was ok.
I usually like boba drinks in general. but I didn’t really care for the boba inside the milk tea. It was too hard and chewy for me.
Also, I paid $ 20.00 first, then I handed Johnny the 15 cents. but he only gave me back $ 5.85… what the heck?! I usually trust people and don’t check my receipt (Boy! Was I ever wrong to NOT check it!!!). now I feel like I have to check it whenever I come here and I don’t recommend anyone using cash. because they won’t give you the correct change! He was suppose to give me back a dollar! Oh well. I forgive you, Johnny, but next time you got to pay attention to how much change you give to your customer (me). (If you want to know my total bill was $ 14.15.)
Ordered:
[Grande] Matcha Bubble Tea — $ 3.95
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny… the receipt says «matcha» so why did you want me to say «green tea» milk tea? Flavor was good. The boba was too chewy for me, though. The flavor was «meh».
[Grande] Black Milk Tea with Boba — $ 3.95
Tasted better than my Matcha Bubble Tea.
[Tall] Mango Coconut with Boba — $ 5.45
The coconut flavor was really strong. I would recommend it for people who love strong tasting coconut flavored drinks. I think they used coconut milk. not my kind of drink, but it tasted good. I couldn’t really taste the mango, though.
For the price: Not worth it. Sorry but that is just my opinion.
Also, I was looking forward to getting a froyo (frozen yogurt) here but they covered the froyo machines with pictures in front of it.

When you walk in you will notice it’s a pretty large café. It’s a friendly atmosphere. An area to the left is sectioned off and I’ve seen many students studying here. It’s friendly for all ages.
I ordered their Mango Coconut drink which is their signature drink. If you like Korean Drama, this chain «mango six» is where Heirs filmed some of their scenes in Korea. Not this particular location. A store in Korea. Cha-​eun-​sang worked at mango six when Kim Tan came to see her. We ordered 2 fish shaped custard filling dessert bread, it’s called «boong-​uh-​bbang» in Korean. The custard filling is absolutely delicious. And we got a Banana honey bread with whipped cream on top. I love the desserts here!

Parking: Free parking in their parking lot, it’s in a shopping plaza so there’s plenty of space.
Service: The 2 times I’ve come here I’ve had good service. Nice staff and they’re quick to get your drinks/​food out.
Food: I’ve only tried their mango smoothie and honey bread, both which were good. I thought they were a bit overpriced however.
overall experience: B.

I come here for the honey bread alone, That thing is to die for, it is so amazing! Every Time I’m in the area and full with a food baby from dinner, I somehow still manage to have room for their honey bread. My favorite is the mango flavor, it comes with fresh mangos and whipped cream over delicious, mouth watering honey soaked bread. It sounds like it’d be super sweet, but it’s not! It’s great. The other things on their menu are alright, I’ve tried their coconut mango drink and honey dew bubble, I literally finished it in 2 sips. They’re good, but not worth the $ 5 you pay IMO. I’d come back

I’ve been here twice and just love this place-it’s very creative and unique. Lots of Korean bakery/​coffee shops are very similar in Duluth, offering the same bubble teas and flavored latte’s, which are fine, but I was very impressed-​more overwhelmed by the amount of choices at MangoSix.
For one, they offer fruit juices that are real fruit, with mango being the most popular. One popular complaint I’ve seen about this place on Unilocal is the price. I wonder if these same people complaining of a $ 5.00 real fruit drink also complain about a $ 5.00 fake bottle syrup Starbucks drink. You’re paying a bit more here, but it is real, natural and FRESH, as in the mangoes are sitting right there on the counter. The fruit ‘juice’ is thick and creamy. I ordered the coconut mango juice. The mango sits under a froth of blended coconut cream. Mix it together-​heaven.
The service is pretty fast here, with the girls calling out the order behind the counter when they finish it. Interior of the café is very large and spacious, almost uncomfortably so, as in you feel a bit ‘on the spot’ if you’re in the middle of room.
I’m definitely going back to try their bubble waffles, and a few more of their drinks. They also offer smoothies and lemonades, with lots of different fresh flavors. Lemonade can be ordered either ‘sweet’ or ‘sour’ which my boyfriend tried the mango flavors of both and they were both delicious in their own way, with the sour being a little more preferable just because of the spicy tang flavor.
Overall, yes it’s a bit pricier than a fast food smoothie, but it’s real, fresh, different and delicious. Check it out!

I was pleasantly surprised when I went here last night with my hubby and sister. My sister is in town for the holidays and she wanted egg waffles so we decided to try this place out.
Located next to iron age, this cute little café offers a lot of yummy hot desserts which is a nice change from the multiple cold desserts options in the area such as boba, ice cream, shaved ice, and more. For food, we tried the ji dan zai with ice cream/​gelato and bungeoppang with cream filling. Both were delicious and authentic. The ji dan zai was crispy and fresh, the ice cream so soft we thought it to be gelato. The bungeoppang was fit for a serving of 1 but for a late night snack, the small portion was perfect. For beverages my sister got hot chocolate and hubby got white mocha. Both on the sweet side for our tastebuds but for the price, you can complain. We got everything for under $ 20!
All in all, I was very happy with my first visit here and recommend.

While visiting Georgia I stopped by this café for the brand that is pretty well known in Korea. I didn’t really have any sort of expectations, as I have only seen ads but have never tried the actual this café brand itself.
I was first impressed by their modern and clean interior décor. As soon as you walk in you see a show window of the drinks and baked goods that they sell. I liked that so that I can see the actual food product instead of guessing whether it will be good or not. From the show window alone, all the baked honey breads looked appetizing and the drinks seemed also pleasing as well.
We ordered Injeolmi Honey Bread, which was savory and sweet at the same time, and I hated to part ways after I finished it so quickly. The size is a good portion for 2 – 3 people and it was definitely well worth the money. The drink was kiwi and mango smoothie, and while I’m not a big mango fan, the combination of the two fruits were suprisingly refreshing. The texture was thick, but not too chunky, and the flow was smooth, hence the name smoothie.
It was happy hour during that time so we got 15% off our entire purchase, which is a plus anyday. Their happy hours are from 10AM — 5pm which seems like a pretty long.
Before we left, we got Boonguhbbang and while it was a bit more pricey ($ 2.95/fish) than what I am used to, the money was well worth it once I took a bite. Even after it was cooled and left at room temperature for a few hours, it maintained it crispy and soft texture, which is rare when you eat any sort of boonguhbbangs.
Overall, I am a huge fan!

I happened to be in the area and thought I’d check out their famed mango juice. The price is still $ 5.45 just like what others say. I can confirm that since it’s winter, the mango-​coconut juice I got did taste a bit on the sour side because it isn’t really mango season. I still thought it was tasty. Contrary to some reviews I read about the ice to juice ratio, my smoothie had no ice at all, so yay, more tangy mango juice for me?
The space is big and the juices seem to be the thing here. I wouldn’t go out of my way for coffee/​tea/​juice, but if I were back in the area, I think I want to check out their waffle bubble snack things.

Super convenient location right off PH. There’s so many competing bakeries in Duluth, but Mango Six offers some unique drinks (hence their name). I usually stick with their mango coconut juice, but I always feel a little jipped paying the $ 8 price tag. But the drink is super refreshing.
They also started serving croissant (fish shaped red bean/​custard pastry). I really enjoyed the flaky and buttery texture of the croissant with the red bean and custard filling.

I heard about this place when I moved out of ATL. Now that I’m back, I had to see what all the hype is about.
The good: the place is huge and has a lot of seats. I came in on a Tuesday night to get some work done; so the size of the place made if feel that much emptier, but I actually like that. It’s nice to know that I won’t have to settle for that last seat-that’s-not-really-a-seat in a coffeeshop when I just need to get stuff done after work. On the other hand, I’m sure it can get that much crazier on the weekends than most places.
I didn’t get any of the colorful food/​drinks that people rave about here; so I can’t really comment on the food/​drinks, but I’m sure they’re good.
The bad: everything here is dumb expensive. Even after a small caffe mocha & a small baked good, my wallet hurts.
Overall: Café Mangosix is a pretty cool & comfortable place, and I’d go again. Hopefully, you’re a baller; but if you’re not, you’ll at least feel like one.

I’ve been wanting to go to café Mangosix ever since they opened (which is a very long time ago!) but between my schedule and the crowds of people camping out at the tables I never got to until this week.
Our group of 2 adults + 1 child basically had our choice of seating when we came in on Tuesday around 7ish. I liked how they had a wall of the many drink varieties at the door, it helps to see what exactly you are ordering. They also had their desserts (fried honey bread and their bubble waffles) on display in acrylic boxes as well.
Service was decent, you walk to the counter and place your order. Then they will call out your order (not your name, not a number) just your order so beware. If you are sitting far from the counter, you may want to have someone in your party camping out nearby to grab it as it comes on the counter in case you don’t hear it.
We decided on a mango based drink for the little one, 2 coffees and a bubble waffle with mixed fruit.
Our drinks were great, my coffee was fresh brewed and I could tell that the beans they used were of great quality. It didn’t have that nasty bitter after taste and as I was drinking it, I was kicking myself for only getting a small cup. The little one loved the mango drink, she was seriously licking it off her straw!
However, the waffle was not good. The kiwi was frozen and unripe. It was very bitter/​sour. The waffle still had a not cooked batter taste about it and the only way to eat it meant dunking it into the very small scoop of ice cream they serve on the side.
I think the next time I come I will try their honey bread.

Good place to study or work. Free internet and tons of seating. Great location to bring friends to chill at.
They are mostly known for their juices and smoothies which mostly focuses on mangoes obviously. They have pasties like macaroons and cakes, frozen yogurt, and even some normal food like sandwiches. Link to the full menu on the website below.
Overall, it does a good job when it comes to serving delicious drinks. If you like mangoes definitely go here as it’s their specialty!
My Recommendations:
–mango strawberry juice
–mango coconut juice
Menu:

I have been to mangosix multiple times. It has calmed down a lot, in terms of how busy it gets. It is very spacious inside with adequate seating and a variety of different beverages and café-​style food (ie. sandwiches, salads, etc). They have a wall at the entrance when you first walk in that shows you a bunch of the different types of drink combinations you can get.
Service is okay. Nothing exceptional but not terrible. Just mediocre.
I always get the mango with coconut drink and add in mango jelly. The drinks here are definitely on the expensive side (the reason for deducting a star) but I convince myself that it’s worth it because it’s healthier and they use real mango in the drinks… Yea, never mind the excessive sugar they most definitely also add in……
This past time I went, I tried their injeolmi honey bread. It. Was. Delicious. It was toasted warm and soft inside, slightly crisp outside. It had vanilla ice cream, misutgaru powder, caramel sauce, and rice cake on top. Too good. It was sweet, but not too sweet. I think I really like warm/​cold desserts. They also pre-​slice the bread into four pieces to make it easier to eat. Probably give this place 3 – 3.5 stars but the injeolmi honey bread from this past visit was so good so they get a little extra. Would definitely order this again. I’m actually craving it right meowwww

Café Mangosix gained a lot of popularity/​talk around the Atlanta area after initially opening because it’s a relatively well-​known café in Korea and has been featured in a popular drama. The location is in Duluth, right off exit 104 and next to Iron Age. The interior is spacious, with several seating areas (seats/​tables to the right upon entry across from the registers /​blending stations with a more socializing/​meal feel and supplementary seating to the left with larger tables as well as a more private area) and a really clean layout. They maintain it well, as it still looks really new and clean. Upon stepping into the café, you see immediately to the left a huge wall display of their drink menu, with life-​size replicas of their actual juices/​smoothies; it’s a good visual touch for customers, especially those who are trying out Café Mangosix for the first time.
Like other disclaimers, Café Mangosix is definitely overpriced. I would say it’s worth taking a visit, because it’s worthy of a try, but if you’re trying to be cost-​efficient or take it easy on the wallet, this is not the place to go. Their drinks range anywhere from $ 5-​$ 10, depending on the size. The one plus is that they really do strive to use fresh ingredients — I watched them making my mango/​kiwi smoothie the first time I visited and noted their usage of all fresh fruits (the drink is essentially fresh fruits blended with ice), which probably accounts for the higher prices. Because a lot of their drink menu is based on fresh ingredients, you won’t be sipping on super sweet smoothies, but it’ll be a really natural and subtly sweet taste, which I appreciate and I can testify to for the mango/​kiwi & mango/​strawberry smoothies.
In my visit today, I tried the green grape lemonade — which comes in a standard large size, for about $ 5.25 with tax. The cashier gave me two options of sweetness: sour or less sour while telling me the former option is pucker-​worthy, so I opted for the latter. Upon drinking the lemonade, I was first hit with the excessive sweetness — definitely a lot of added sugar and way sweeter than I expected, whereas I was hoping for a delicate balance between sour and sweet. I think if I get the drink again in future, I’m going to try the sourer option and see how that fares out.
3.5 stars because while the drinks are pretty good, the price is a little excessive and I feel like it’s something I can easily make at home while producing the same flavor results, for much cheaper. I do like the space though (great for small or large groups). Overall, service is friendly and the menu is expansive with a lot of options beyond drinks, which is all I’ve tried thus far in my visits. I’ll be sure to try the food menu next time, and update with a new review accordingly.

The mango juice is seriously overpriced. For a tiny «tall» size, you get about a cup of mango purée supplanted with six large ice cubes. Paying $ 6 for that little cup of juice topped with coconut foam just seems ridiculous until…
You taste it. And all of the sudden, $ 6 seems like a steal. Seriously, I don’t know how they make these drinks, but the combo of the thick mango pulp and the coconut whipped cream is just the most perfect flavor combination in the most perfect ratio.
The setting is also great — the store is huge with ample seating with tons of tables of various sizes. The décor is clean and modern, and they have free wifi. They’re located right next door to Iron Age, so they have plenty of strip mall parking. I will definitely return when in the area to pay the exorbitant price for a cup of mango juice, but also to try the various desserts they had on display, particularly the beautiful looking varieties of cheesecake.
Being ripped off never tasted so good.
