Red Mango

CLOSED!
It is being converted to a café that serves sandwiches and Coffee Bean coffee.
The curse of Bridgeport Marketplace continues. See, when you name something bridgeport in NORTHBRIDGE!

I don’t know what they did to their ice cream recipe but it’s now more icy than creamy. Topping quality has gone down along with the ice cream. Good location and environment, but I’m being lenient in giving it two stars.

I’m pretty sure this place closed. =/​We loved it though.

It’s amazing how far downhill this place has gone. Went in today when it was over a hundred degrees and it was empty. Floors had trash all over, the furniture is getting thrashed, the tables had used napkins and melted yogurt on them, and two of the self-​serve yogurt machines were broken. The one employee had a «don’t give a shit» attitude. The smoothie was good, but the yogurt was not edible. We threw it away. You’re way better off going to one of the many competitors in town. If you have a gift card, better use it fast before this place goes out of business.

Mmm… Red Mango… It’s perfect for that late night frozen yogurt fix since they are open till 11pm.
Personally, I like Red Mango better then other similar competitors because the yogurt is a little bit creamier. The trade off is that you lose a little bit of the tartness. Regardless, the yogurt here is good especially since they purport that their yogurt contains some super probiotic. Is it marketing? Yeah, I’m sure, but it’s still comforting to know that I’m eating spoonfuls of sugary goodness and still hold onto the possibility that it’s healthy.
Otherwise, they have all of your standard toppings of fruits, mochi and candy, but they also have my personal favorite topping: FRUITY PEBBLES! Yum.
So, it’s self serve frozen yogurt. Grab a cup and fill it with as little or as much yogurt as you want. Then add your toppings and they will weigh price it according to the weight. I’d say the price is fair.
The last thing I want to talk about is the cleanliness. Usually it’s pretty clean, but I’ve had to wipe down the table myself before. That’s definitely not cool, but it’s also not the norm.
I would definitely recommend this place to any frozen yogurt fan. You gotta try it at least once :)

It’s nice to find a Red mango that is still open!

Inexpensive, Self-​serve (which means you can put what you want, as many as you want.), nice service and clean. What else you need for frozen yogurt?!

There is always room from some Frozen Yogurt with ProBiotics. Love that I am able to get as much or as little yogurt as I want and put which ever toppings I want.

Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE red mango. There were one I used to go to in Nogales and Irvine area, but they both closed… :(this one would be the closest one from my place. The taste of the yogurt is not the same here. Maybe because it’s self serve. It’s too icy then the other ones I’ve been to. the red mango I like is much more creamier and had totally different taste then any other yogurt place. I came here twice just so that I wasn’t mistaken, but it was the same both days…
I WANT THE GOOD OLD RED MANGO!!!

this yogurt is some of the best I’ve ever had. It blows Pinkberry away!!! Also, the toppings were very fresh. You will definitly get your money’s worth.

I recently received an advertisement for Red Mango in the mail. The list of participating stores on the ad included the Valencia location. The coupon was for several offers including a free yogurt, free shake, free tea/​lemonade, and other buy one get one free offers.
When I went to redeem the free yogurt, the employee told me that they were not participating in the promotion. When I showed him the ad with the Valencia location listed, he stated that the ad was a mistake. He said «corporate» made a mistake, but they would offer 25% off. I asked him if it was right that they would advertise a free yogurt and offer only a 25% discount when customers came in to redeem the coupon. He insisted it was corporate’s fault and they had nothing to do with it.
When I pointed out to him that this was classic bait-​and-​switch, he looked at me confused. He was very young, and kept on brushing his hair out of his eyes while we were talking. Rather then explain the basic concepts of keeping one’s word, I decided to leave without buying anything. I will be lodging a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
What really sucks is I brought my hot wings from Wing Stop to eat at Red Mango. As you know, hot wings lose their crispy exterior after they’ve sat in the foam containers for 10 – 15 minutes.
Red Mango at Valencia should honor its advertisement, even if it was a mistake. It is the right thing to do, plain and simple.

Always and forever will I love red mango. I am a picky eater and simply, nothing compares. How I desperately wish there was one in Sacramento. I get plain pomegranate or a strawberry banana smoothie and man is it delish.
It is soft serve now but you can still order smoothies and such at the counter.

Same great yogurt, same great toppings… but now it is self-​serve/​pay by the ounce. I am especially fond of the serve yourself concept because the child in me (or perhaps it is the overly entitled American in me) likes the freedom to mix and match, take as much as I want, play with the toppings, etc. This Froyo Ho has never met a flavor of Red Mango that I didn’t like and topping them with Captain Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, and dark chocolate chips makes them even better!
This location is always clean and the staff is always friendly!

Everytiime i go in i get reeted right away and it is nice to have the staff know what you want… Mango Blueberry blender with pom yogurt!
It is always clean in there and the fruit is always sweet! I love that!
Not much else to say except keep up the good work John!

I finally tried red mango today. Just because all the cool Unilocalers are doing it.
Definitely glad i tried it. My favorite part was definitely the yogurt, I love real yogurt. What sucks about real yogurt though is that need to brush your teeth right after eating it. Also I’m not sure about what Mike D. said but it appeared to me that all the fruit toppings were THAWED (and the kid behind the counter confirmed it). I did find that if left sitting for long enough the small sliced chunks of my strawberries had frozen from the cold of the yogurt. This is definitely a good four star treat but $ 5 for a medium?
I haven’t tried pinkberry but I will say this was pretty good.
Edited for Mike D. s elite Correction: P

I like Red Mango’s toppings, but I prefer Pinkberry’s original tart yogurt. In fact, I think the perfect combination would be Red Mango’s toppings and Pinkberry’s Yogurt.
Would that be Red Berry? or Pink Mango?

Ok. It’s official. They’re consistently good.
I came here two days in a row, and I’m not a yogurt aficionado. I still think 21 Choices is the best. I’ve been to the one in Old Town and they have soy yogurt AND kiwi topping. :)
Uh, but wait, this is a review for Red Mango. Right.
Ok, so I came here for the second day in a row, and tonight’s shift featured a whole new slate of employees.
I ordered a small this time, because I just scared down some size-​able proportions at this taco place in Newhall. I came clear across town to come here. I stuck with my usual game plan — get the Green Tea flavor. I still have no idea what «Original» tastes like, and I’m not ready to board that train just yet.
The game plan also consists of the same toppings — mangoes and strawberries. The small size came with no air pocket, like with Mike D.‘s experience, and the fruit toppings were amply applied with the same surgical precision I mentioned before.
I should point out that Carrie D.‘s concern over their B-​rating should be alleviated. I checked and it’s A-​grade, certified.
If I can come here twice, not to mention 2-​days in a row, with a whole an entirely different crew of workers, and get the same kind of reaction, then this place deserves a half-​star bump.
Add kiwi to your playlist, Red Mango, and you’ll be 5-​stars. I know PInkberry and 21 Choices do it, so step up to the plate.

Stopped by one night right before closing and the staff was more then happy to serve us. Talked to the owner and he seemed like a nice guy. Better quality then Pinkberry and I don’t have to deal with the mall crowd. Definitely a healthier alternative to regular frozen yogurt and ice cream. Prices are fairly reasonable and though I’ve only gotten the small size the 3x I’ve been, I’ve never gotten the «yogurt hole.» But even if I did, they weigh the cup out to make sure the serving sizes are consistent. With the hot summer already hitting I’ll be here more often then not.
Oh and if you haven’t read it in the previous posts or don’t know what this new fad hitting the SCV is all about, this is not your Penguin’s /​/​Golden Spoon frozen yogurt. Its frozen yogurt to the definition: tart, light with pro-​biotics.

Sorry to burst Red Mango’s bubble, but I went there today and had a few issues.
I ordered the medium-​size regular yogurt, with blackberries, raspberries and mango. First issue: the mango was hard. It wasn’t ripe at all and I couldn’t eat it. Secondly, there indeed was an «air pocket» hiding at the bottom of my cup. Bigger than a golf ball, I’d say. And finally, five bucks seems a bit steep for fro-​yo, considering you can get a fully loaded Subway sub for the same price.
I did like the yogurt itself. It tasted very yogurt-​y, and I could practically feel the live bacteria swimming around my digestive system. A solid three stars for that.
By the way, I asked the owner if they’d been busy, since it’s hard to tell that they’re open just driving by, and he said yes, thanks to reviews on «Yelps.» He mentioned that a guy came in earlier and told him Red Mango had received three 5-​star reviews in a row. Young?!

I just tried Red Mango too!
I’m so excited to finally have one in town!
I have to agree, the owner is such a nice guy! He informed me that they will be having their official grand opening on May 17.
The shop is very cool looking and has plenty of seating. It is one of the biggest and nicest Red Mango shops I have been to. I had been waiting for Red Mango to open up here ever since I saw the sign go up.
If you are a P. Berry fan, I strongly encourage you to come try the ORIGINAL thing! Look for them to introduce toppings such as watermelon, honeydew melon, and mandarin oranges this summer!

Edit — May 9, 2008
I went back tonight and for the first time, ordered blueberries as a topping! Lisa was right! They are very good! And! I checked, and double checked, and there was NO air pocket in my medium yogurt. So either, I was lucky, or they are serving it differently now?
