Red Mango

We like the smoothies here but I never get my SPOONABLE smoothie make correctly since the first one I had.
–Whole bananas. Sometimes.
–Thick and actually spoonable … The first one only.
If it’s spoonable why do you give me a straw and no spoon? Eating/​drinking one of these will definitely help you lose weight. Because it takes them FOREVER to make and that will be your only meal of the day by time you get it. You can always see the confusion of the employees on how to make certain menu options.
Like a dope I’ll continue to go there in hopes of getting that perfect smoothie again. The one in Hoboken is more consistent but parking is almost impossible on Washington St.

Used to be obsessed but then the quality started going up and down. Sometimes it’s perfect sometimes its watery and slushy. The toppings are always good. It’s self serve so who cares about service. The cleanliness is hit or miss.
The non dairy flavors are always good.

If you do decide to come in because the yogurt is pretty good despite the so-​so service, remember to get a small cup, 1) it weighs less than a large cup and 2) you will less likely to buy too much. It sucks when I get too much because then the froyo melts into a watery mess. On top of that, I’m full and now facing a choice of stuffing myself even more or throw out the (not cheap) froyo.
Sometimes topping is their way of getting your money because some of the toppings (like candy/​chocolate) are heavy and they sell by weigh. If you’re not on a budget, kudos to you. But if you are on a budget, my recommendation is either not to get any toppings or get the lightweight ones (like coconut shavings). Another idea is to grab your fav candy/​chocolate from your house to sprinkle on the froyo (LOL omg I have to admit I’m so cheap).
BTW, parking sucks, be prepared.
Definitely agree with the review below about the service. I’ve come to this location multiple times over the past few years. Sometimes, I feel unappreciated as a customer.

I wonder if Red Mango changed their recipe, because all the recent locations (include this one) features froyo that is more slush in texture than the creamy, dense yogurt goodness I used to love.
As with my gripe with the Ridgewood Red Mango, no taro flavor, no notice about banana availability (sad face).
The staff was nice and they were hustling, but the store was not lit (none of the lights were on) and the floor was sticky and dirty, making it seem more run down than it actually is.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but perhaps my obsession with Red Mango is at an end. I think I’ll try some of the other froyo places in Montclair — plenty of competition in the area.

It is a really good place and every season the have good and different kinds of flavors

They have a great location next to the Movie Theatre and in the middle of many of the most popular stores and restaurants.
I liked the self serve option because you can pick whatever you want and decide how much you get. They also give you tiny sample cups that you can use to sample the fro-​yo all by yourself. I liked this freedom.
It always seem to be a little more expensive when it is weighted and my yogurt cost $ 8.00 but I chose the ingredients so who fault is that?

Not many flavors, and the ones they have aren’t anything to brag about.
my real reason for the low rating is for 2 reasons. 1– the person behind the counter seems completely annoyed to have to ring you up! Sorry to take you away from your phone for 6 seconds.
Second– during the day when they’ve been opened for several hours, they always seem to be out of things! Out of certain toppings, out of certain fruit. One day I asked for a smoothie, and the reply was «I can’t make any.»
So crappy customer service, not the best flavors, and lack of toppings/​options. Find another place!

The best REAL frozen yogurt around as well as the fairly priced. There are tons of toppings to chose from to add to your already delicious flavored froyo. Plus there are always coupons circulating.

My go-​to Red Mango location and remains in my number #1 spot for froyo in Montclair, or for any froyo establishment that I’ve been to for that matter.
Why? Red Mango tastes like real frozen yogurt. I swear the other places claim they’re froyo, but they taste too much more like frozen custard or soft serve when you eat them. Not all froyos are created equally! When I’m at Red Mango, I never second guess what i’m eating.
As far as this particular branch goes, the staff are always friendly, the place is always well kept, and the traffic is never very busy. My only peeve to this place is that they don’t always have Madagascar Vanilla. I’m not a huge fan of the flavored froyos, I’m more of an adventurous-​varietal topper, so vanilla is always my base.

The oreo flavor truly tastes like oreo!

I love Red Mango. I do! The froyo is great, the flavors are creative it’s healthy (ish), the toppings are fresh. Definitely a better option than most of the desserts in the nearby restaurants. At least you can control your portions here!
I visited on a Saturday night with a couple of friends. The room was filled with teenaged girls, but we only waited a few minutes before a table opened up. I had White Chocolate & Black Cherry froyo, with coconut shavings & cocoa /​dark chocolate nibs on top. I’m not here to brag, but I may have just found the most delicious froyo flavor combinations ever. So, feel free to borrow my recipe. I don’t mind.
But I do have a gripe about my experience — namely, the service. The girl working the counter literally sucked the life out of our evening. (We had to go to Starbucks afterward just to have the energy to drive home!)
Listen. I know it was Saturday night, and I know it was 45 minutes to closing. I know you were the only one working there. But I can’t enjoy my froyo if you’re so dour! I say hi, I’m friendly & polite. You ignored me, mumbled «It’s$ 3.49doyouneedareceipt?» when I placed my dessert on the scale, & didn’t give me another glance as I smiled & said thank you. GIRL. Perk up, you’re dragging us all down!

Came here a few times for frozen yogurt and so far I have not experienced unpleasant service. The workers here are always energized and kind to their customers. I always get the dulce de leche yogurt which is amazingly delicious. They have many options of toppings for their yogurts along with many flavors of them. They have a huge variety.

My name is Sonya and I am seven. I think that the red mango is the fantastic.
one reason is you can put your own topping’s on .you can also sit and watch T.V. and you can go any time.

I don’t know why but this is the first self serve Red Mango I have been to (all others have been made by others behind a counter like in Pinkberry style).
I liked the self serve option because you can pick whatever you want and decide how much you get. They also give you tiny sample cups that you can use to sample the fro-​yo all by yourself. I liked this freedom.
Current flavors include chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, nutty swirl, piña colada, white peach, coconut, and mango. All sorts of toppings as usual.
Lots of seating in this one-​comfy chairs and regular chairs, lots of tables and a TV to boot. Good lighting.

For a time in my life, I went to this Red Mango at least 3 – 4 days a week (for an after work froyo). I know, a little sick, but here are reasons why this place kept luring (lures) me back over and over again —
1. Conveniently located close to the L train and PATH. The subway stairs are right by the door.
2. Has a good amount of seating compared to other Red Mangos.
3. Staff are friendly and provide fast service 99.9% of the time.
4. The Union Square location had great promotions.
5. The frozen yogurt!
6. Mochi topping :)
This is a good Red Mango location. If you are in the area, check it out.

Love their serve-​yourself frozen yogurt and toppings. My favorite froyo in Montclair.
Even more noteworthy is their huge, disabled-​friendly restroom. My mom is in a wheelchair and she cannot rave enough about how perfect it is, since so many restaurant restrooms are tiny and not meant for handicapped diners. It’s always a pleasure for her to have a stress-​free experience when we go out to get a treat. Thank you Red Mango!

I just didn’t like their product. It just tastes so chemically. I’ve tasted a few flavors and it just doesn’t work for me.

It wasn’t until last year, that I bit the bullet and tried froyo. I think I may have tried it, when there was TCBY in the area, when I was in high school. But I can’t say for sure. Red Mango was my first taste of frozen yogurt and ever since, I’ve been comparing other establishments to it. I’m a fan of the Madagascar Vanilla, the classic Milk Chocolate, & I think there was a Nutella flavor at one time. I mean, if you’re a fan of Nutella, then you should keep an eye out for the flavor, when it’s in season.
There was a great variety of toppings. For the health conscious like myself, we have granola, dark chocolate chips, fruit, etc. If you’re looking to kick up the sweetness, there’s M&Ms, Butterfinger pieces/​crumbs, Oreo pieces/​crumbs, sprinkles of course & many other types of candy. Just keep in mind, they will have to weigh your cup to determine the price, so think very carefully about your froyo to topping ratio and how you distribute it. I’ve also tried their blended coffee drinks and I must say I like them. They’re good on a hot summer day, if you want a caffeine kick & something to cool you down. I can’t wait for the warm weather to return. I will definitely be back there, on a semi-​regular basis, for my usual: ½ Madagascar vanilla, ½ chocolate or a new flavor to try out, with granola, shredded coconut, a scoop of Butterfinger crumbs, & finally some dark chocolate chips on top.

Visited last week, first time since the remodel and loved it!
I love that now its self serve because I can control my kids portions, as well as getting just a little bit for myself.
The fruit toppings were very fresh, as well as a large variety of other toppings. The store is very clean with your choice of sofas or tables to sit at and flat screen TVs for your viewing pleasure. That is on one of my favorite blocks in Montclair is another plus!

Yum, froyo! Going to Red Mango on a super hot day in the summer is a perfect cool down treat.
I got the original with bananas and chocolate chips. It was my first experience with frozen yogurt, so I was surprised how much of a bite the froyo had to it. It is very tart and tangy, similar to if you were really eating plain yogurt. I enjoyed it but I could see people be taken by surprise thinking it might taste like soft serve ice cream.
My drawback with this place was the offering of flavors. I think it’s cool that they specialize in 3 flavors, but they didn’t offer the special flavor (Raspberry Cheesecake) the day that I went. Before coming in, I visited their website and saw the flavor on display, and also saw a huge poster up front that advertised for it and it was a pretty big let down that they didn’t have it. I was disappointed.
This location is perfectly situated amongst all of Montclair’s cute boutiques if you need a cool snack while walking around.
