Red Mango

It’s not self serve– it sucks. Should be self serve that’s the whole point of this style of fro-​yo and at $ 5.00 for a small it’s a ripoff. Likely won’t be back.

Two words for Red Mango. Do better! This place sucks. Red Mango has a monopoly on frozen yogurt downtown and this is the best they could do. Stale toppings, ran out of toppings, and horrible yogurt flavors. Whenever the craving strikes me for fro-​yo I will just push it down and wait until I can get back to my favorite spot. What a waste of money, $ 4.65 to be exact!

For several years now I’ve always ordered the same thing: the original tart yogurt topped with honey and granola. This concoction of ingredients is like a match made in heaven; the honey and the tart yogurt blend well together and the granola gives everything a perfect crunch, especially since it probably has hints of honey as well. This trio must have came straight from the land flowing with milk and honey, where in the olden days it promised all things good.
Well… (along those same lines) I have found a froyo refuge because Red Mango yogurt tastes the best! A small cup costs less than $ 5. I always request for a lot of honey to be drizzled on top, and don’t be ashamed to say «more» and then wait those awkward 5 seconds while the server drizzles the honey in slow-​mo yet again. It’s worth it, especially since you pay per topping, i.e. they don’t weight your cup by the ounce.
At Red Mango, regardless of which location and the varieties of fresh fruit, standard toppings and even the neon-​colored popping tapioca balls offered… I will always get that amazing combination. This has turned into an ode to my favorite original+honey+granola combo instead of an actual review so back to business here’s the low-​down:
It’s located inside of Chase Tower and shares a space with a convenient store. After you get your yogurt you move to the left to pay at the register in the convenient store (I guess they share rent and a cash register). When I came they had Mojito-​flavored yogurt as well, maybe someone will try it one day and will like it?
It’s the perfect place to go during a work/​lunch break because inside Chase Tower there are cozy chairs and taller circular tables that overlook a fountain. Or you can sit outside on the sunny steps. The four stars for their consistent, faultless fare. (Five stars for the original+honey+granola.)

This location does not accept coupons, including Amazon Local vouchers, even though they are listed on the website. Now instead of getting $ 2 from me, and any subsequent purchases, they get $ 0. Bad call!

Two guys in the elevator are talking about how they need to get ice cream today because it feels like the first day of summer. It was 82 degrees, and their conversation wouldn’t remove itself from my head until I got two of my team members to come with me and indulge in some frozen yogurt from here. It is interesting that it is located inside the Chase building. I only knew it was here since I take the blue line train from inside the building here, and had to make deposits when stuff didn’t work at the ATM. I tasted both the Winter Caramel and the Mango flavored frozen yogurt and couldn’t decide on one over the other so when the guy suggested half and half it was a winner! I also added coconut and pineapple and felt like I was in a tropical paradise. I like the light, sweet, and tartness of the frozen yogurt. I didn’t feel too guilty about getting the regular size over the small. The prices might just be steeper because it is downtown, and they do charge for toppings.

I am late jumping on the froyo craze, and now I can’t stop!
I had this for lunch one day. Please don’t tell my mother. I’m pushing 30 but she still gets disgruntled upon hearing what kind of junk I consume. I was elated to find this location near my work. It’s small and the flavors and toppings are limited, but that’s when you get creative. The pumpkin pie was tempting, but I chose regular yogurt with passion fruit boba, blackberries and strawberries. It was lunch so I needed something semi-​healthy! It was delicious and I am already looking forward to coming back for lunch, I mean, a snack.
FYI this isn’t a franchise so you can’t use your Red Mango card here! Service isn’t very personalized, either. I asked for topping suggestions and the guy looked at me like I had two heads. =/

NEVER AGAIN! I only came to this place because my gluttonous co-​worker gets fro-​yo from here everyday as his mid-​afternoon snack.
He orders first and gets the original Fro-​yo. When it came time for me to take my order, I was told they ran out of the original flavored fro-​yo. Are you freaking kidding me??? That’s like a chinese restaurant running out of rice. Or an italian restaurant running out of pasta.
I am boiling right just having to write this review. Don’t even get me started on the gummy bears.
Suggestion: FRO-​YO money elsewhere!

3.5 stars for me. The yogurt is good. I prefer the original tart yogurt as opposed to the flavored yogurts.
However, I wish that it was self-​serve since I think it would be cheaper that way and you could sample more flavors and toppings.
Also, only one employee was working when I visited and it took a little while so maybe another employee would be helpful too. But, good yogurt and would be back given that it is right across the street from my office.

I remember roaming around the Loop last summer with 2 coworkers looking for good froyo. We didn’t find anything that could come anywhere close to being considered «good». So we gave up our search and settled for a 49c cone at McDs.
FF to about a month ago, and that scenario has finally changed. Red Mango, an excellent froyo place, opened in the Chase Building. It’s located just down the street from my office, and they opened up at the right time given our bizarre (but totally welcome) summer weather in March!
To me, the best froyo is Pinkberry or Red Mango — I just love the creamy tartness. But I’ll have to give the edge to Red Mango when comparing just the original flavors. Slightly creamier without losing the tartness wins it for me. They seem to rotate flavors often, and you can tell that the employees are fairly new but they’re nice and accomodating. It’s a solid option for those hot days where you want something cool and refreshing, or if you just want to escape the office for a treat one day. It’s located lobby level to the right of the retail bank entrance (to the left is the Starbucks).

Finally!
I’ve been looking for a good smoothie place within walking distance so I can go there on my lunch and I finally found one. I was highly disappointed when I tried Potbelly’s smoothie’s last week so I was iffy about trying this new place. But so far, since Chase tower has revamped their food kiosks everything is better. So I decided to try it. When I walked in I was asked if I’d like to sample the yogurts. Im not a huge yogurt fan but their yogurts weren’t bad, the white peach and original were good but I could pass on the rest. Anyway, the girl at the counter was friendly and patient with me. She recommended the mixed berry smoothie which is fantastic. Made with real fruit and original yogurt. Good for the money and quick. I’d definitely recommend this place :)

My friend calls it Fro-​Yo. I think thats odd. Whats also odd is that he says its a great way to hang out with friends on a Friday night. I think its great on a workday at 3 o’clock. I’m hooked. The peach frozen yogurt (Fro-​Yo) with granola and kiwi was awesome.
