Dolci Mango

This place much better than Red Mango or Pinkberry. We just happen to stop by and tried their yogurt ice cream. It was so fabulous. I like plain, but next time want to try mochi balls etc…

My second visit this week. Need I say more about this place? You’re always greeted as soon as you walk in. (Breathe in that fresh smell of yummy goodness) I would’ve given this place a 5 if it wasn’t for the frequent quality of their original tart. It’s too runny sometimes and not as frozen as the other flavors. Warning: there’s a newly opened Yogurtland nearby. But I will support DolciMango and hope it’s just a hype.

Bleh… nothing special about this place. Yogurt is ok, and that’s about as far as i would go. Moving on to the fruits and customer service. All of the cut up I looked at did not look fresh at all (pale looking). When I asked the cashier what certain items were, they were a bit snobbish, especially since there was no other customers (not surprised). They currently have an advertised promotion which they were unaware of (10% w/​movie ticket) and made it known that they were doing me a favor by giving me the discount, even though according to them that was last year’s special. Lastly, its a little pricey for the level of quality and service you are receiving. Would not recommend this place.

This place started out like Pinkberry, where they would serve you the yogurt and toppings, but they were smart enough to jump on the bandwagon to change it up and allow costumers to serve themselves (in the likes of Yogurtland, Granny’s Yogurt and just about every other yogurt place now).
Very yummy stuff. Their peach mango flavor is sooooooo good. This comes in second (and I would otherwise bump it up to 5 stars) in San Pedro to Granny’s only for two reasons:
1. It has slightly less topping selection
2. Parking and that whole center make it a little annoying to get around, but thats just me, many people probably don’t mind.
BUT on the pro its near Trader Joe’s so it makes it a convenient little treat to take home after grocery shopping. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Another lackluster fro yo shop. The flavors tasted artificial, the yogurt was icy, and the choice of toppings were limited.

My kids love this place. They have lots of fun making their own froyo with how much they want. I think my little one just loves making his own. The bigger he makes his froyo the bigger his eyes get. The people are nice and the price is good. The owner introduced himself and made my family feel welcome and comfortable. Good service is hard to find, but you can find it here.

Do they put crack in their yogurt? It is soooooo addictive. I found this place beside my cable company, and I was hungry, it was like water in the desert.
The Red Velvet Cake is off the hook, and one of the first yogurts I got hooked on. And the mochi balls… The next best thing is the selection of fresh fruit. Love the way it freezes on the yogurt on a hot day.
The place is always nice and clean, and the staff is so darned friendly, I have to return every week, sometimes 2 or 3 times!!!

This place makes me sooo happy!!! It’s like all the other yogurt places but better.
There’s about 6 or more flavored yogurts to choose from. The yogurts have a creamy consistency and are rich in flavor. The taste of the yogurt is what single handedly sets them apart from the other Frozen Yogurt shops.
There’s a variety of fresh fruits to top your yogurt with along with the other standard assortments of goodies.
There’s plenty of parking, plus it’s self serving so you can be in and out quickly or you can opt to stay and eat there. The décor is clean and bright and there’s a flat screen to watch.

I Have to say i love this place, not only do i come here all the time but there favors are always changing and they updated to self serve which makes it that much more enjoyable. The staff is also really great too… Plus its just a really nice place to sit and talk and hangout after a workout or what have you…

I’ve been obsessed with Frozen Yogurt since i can remember and I’m sooo glad we have such an awesome place locally, finally!!!
The shop couldn’t be cuter or cleaner, you can eat off the floors, the ambiance is super chill with great music and they usually have sports or the news on the tv.
Now to the best part, Their yogur is out of this world!!! They blow pink berry and all the other places out of the water with their mind blowing yogurt flavors, and just when I think I have found my favorite flavor they will bring another one that’s to Die for!!!
My favorites are White chocolate macadamia nut, pumpkin, red velvet cake, green apple, vanilla, chocolate, the list goes on and on! Its all fat free and has probiotic which is great for ur GI… And it’s all self serve!
The toppings are out of control with the best fresh cut fruit and every candy and nut imaginable… I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Go discover ur favorite Flavor today, you’ll be addicted n no time, trust me!

I was happy to see there was something close to my cheap theatre of choice to prevent me from gorging on a $ 7+ tub of movie popcorn.
They have less yogurt choices than some places, but a ton more toppings than I’m used to seeing. Service was friendly and quick.
I’ll be back for my pre or post-​movie snack!

Another Yogurt joint!!! lol. At least they’re not popping up every week anymore. I love yogurt but one per city block is enough. ;p
This is one of those self service joints that charge by the ounce. It’s good for the light eater and terrible for the fiend. I like my yogurt but can get away with a very small serving.
I usually get plain yogurt with some type of fruit and mochi balls. That’s my staple but I will explore with fruit yogurt sometimes or maybe some type of crunch for texture. They have a lot to choose from so please don’t hold up the line. haha
Happy hour towards the end of the night is a plus. It’s not crowded at that time neither which is probably why they have it then. duh.
Another yogurt spot but this one is special because it’s close to our house. :)

I needed a yogurt fix, and this was the first place I saw. The number of flavors is very limited for a shop this size. I think I only remember six…
I tried the original which wasn’t too bad. It had a thick consistency, but it was a little runny for my taste. The yogurt came out as though it was already melting. The flavor has a strong «yogurt» taste to it that threw me off a little. However, I think I kind of like it.
The fruit tasted fine, but it didn’t seem to fresh. It was all a little too ripe and mushed together. I was worried that some of it might have been going bad, but then they mixed the old with the new. I ate it all anyways and didn’t have any problems later, so I guess everything was alright.
They have sliced almonds. Enough said. Almost no one has these nowadays, and they are my favorite. Chopped almonds taste like peanuts, and Pinkberry’s almonds are just odd. They’re like alien almonds unsuccessfully portraying the real thing. Sliced almonds. Mmmmmm… I’d come back just for this feature.

Loving the new self-​serve format! Also the expanded choice of flavors (I think it’s eight flavors every day). So far my favorites are the pineapple, And the by-​weight pricing is actually pretty affordable. Noticed today that they’re staying open until 11 pm all summer and offering a 5 cent per oz. discount from 9 – 11 pm. Woo hoo! One of these days I’m going to sneak off without my kids and get one covered in candy. Shhhh!!! Don’t tell!

I’ve been cheating on PINKBERRY! Ok, to be fair there is no Pinkberry in Pedro, b/​c lets face it – they like to hang out in the smancier parts of town. Oh well, Dolci makes up for not being Pinkberry by allowing you to pay per oz. At first, I thought this would be bad, but it turns out that the amount of frozen yogurt, fruit, and mochi I want is cheaper than the standard issue small at PB. I can get a reasonable size treat for $ 2 and they have free WI-​FI… hmmmm $ 2 coffee or $ 2 frozen yogurt to use WI-FI…YOGURT! My only criticism is that since it’s right near all the other junk on Western and this is a family town there always tons of sticky kids and henceforth this place is sticky. Could be a little tidier, just sayin.

About time this place updated to self-​serve! I can put as much ice cream I want in the biggest cup and top it with plethora of tiny, chewy mochi! I feel like a kid in a candy store! wait, I think I am indeed a kid in a candy store…
Every time I go there, I struggle which of my favorite flavors to choose, yellow pineapple or green apple.

«Just get both for god’s sake!» My friend interrupted my train of thought.
«Oh I plan on doing that, I’m just trying to figure out which I like more so I can save if for last…» I trailed off.
«Urgh!» she groaned. «Let me.» she said grabbing my cup and filled it halfway up with apple froyo. Then she topped it with a bit of pineapple froyo. Then she marched over to the toppings and took the bin that held the mochi and dumped half of what’s left into my cup.
«Wow! Psychic!» I said half jokily
«No,» she squinted her eyes with looks of annoyance, «just annoyed. You always put the apple on bottom then pineapple on top, then you put too much mochi in your cup!»
I smiled, «That’s right. I just like to annoy you.» Then I ate my froyo. Delicious!

Sad news, Dolci Mango has closed for business, stopped in on Nov. 4, 2011, windows are papered, some new shop is coming in.
So sad! I loved this place, especially since it often kept me from shopping hungry at Trader Joe’s just down the mall.
Business flame-​out rate in San Pedro seems to be getting worse all the time.

I stopped in for a lunch substitute today, and loved the place and the froyo. I had vanilla, topped with several ripe, sweet fruits. They now charge simply by the ounce, just 35¢ per ounce, so it’s quite reasonable.
I highly recommend this place, it’s nice and bright and clean, too. And as others mentioned, very convenient to one’s TJ shopping trips.
When I asked if they’re recycling the cups and spoons, the staff (probably family member owner) said not yet, they were considering it. So for not getting their green act together, I’m deducting a star from their score. They remedy that, it’s 5 stars.

Self servicing yogurt place! How interesting!
One of my friend owned a yogurt shop a few years ago. She taught me how to curl yogurt on the cup. That skill was useful here in Dolci place. I turn my paper cup in one hand, use the other hand to push down the handle. It worked well. I had berry yogurt. For topping I added blueberry, mango, kiwi and mochi. Mochi on top of yogurt is always good.
Overall the place was very clean in light green color. The girl who was working was nice. The taste.hmhm. Dolci goes right below the Pink…

The chocolate yogurt with fresh strawberries and mango was excellent. The yogurt was delicious and creamy and the fruit was fresh.
The décor looks a lot like Pinkberry too, down to the neon plastic furniture.
The guy was friendly and we saw 2 cop cruisers park in the plaza so it’s probably a safe place to get dessert.

Given that I have never had a Pinkberry (not even sure just what it is), I would compare Dolci Mango to frozen yogurt as the Cold Stone Creamery is to ice cream — the ultimate.
The décor is, well, tropical fruitish. Soothing colors, and made of no material that cannot be hosed down each night. The place was packed with people of all ages and flavors. They were even doing a lively carry-​out business. And the staff was great — if only my kids turned out so well. No «attitude problems» here.
I pigged out on their signature dish — the large mango-​flavored yogurt covered with fresh berries. It is to die for.
This is, indeed, a place to return to often. Especially in summer. I will be back.
