Red Mango Oakland Gardens

I've been racially profiled on more than 1 occasion in this red mango in particular, I was yelled at in front of my then 5 year old son who is now 6 for not knowing that they charged by weight. Another time I came in the back entrance thinking I was going into the red arrow store, both businesses have the name red in it and so I thought I walked into red arrow, before I can correct my mistake the couple started yelling at me for walking into their business without even knowing whether or not I was a paying customer, never again...

VERY clean and organized place! Probably the best Red Mango I've been to...but I don't go to that many. Great natural sunlight and small decorations elevate the experience. I really like the milk tea that I tried. Probably one of my favorite boba places, and I do consume a sizeable amount of milk tea. Huge menu ranging from Acai Bowls, Veggie Smoothies, and lots of Yogurt obviously. The bubble tea has a good range of flavors/textures/styles too and is well made. The employees put care into their work but still complete tasks in a timely manner. The store is strict on not passing through (ex: coming in through the back door by the back parking lot and going out from the front door facing the street or vice versa) without buying/picking anything up/etc. Which is fine by me, especially now with Covid, just thought I'd mention it. Be aware of the language/cultural barrier, not all the employees are native English speakers, so certain things may come off as rude or more blunt than intended. If you only know English, expect very transactional, brief conversations, very to the point. Wearing masks make everything so much harder to hear/talk, so it amplifies these things. 4 instead of 5 stars, because despite the cultural barrier, in my experiences this store *does* have noticeably poorer customer service than the surrounding places. It doesn't bother me and I don't mind super formal/transactional clear cut interactions, but a little more care and flourish would go a long way to cut the barrier. Keep in mind I only went here one time though earlier today in the afternoon. It was kinda busy when I went, so many the interactions are only on account of that? I'll update this if needed.

My friend wanted to go to the Red Mango today so we did go, and surprisingly we saw there was also another shop in the Red Mango as well called ?Anda Cafe?. Anda Cafe serves many different bobas! Right away I caught my eyes on the brown sugar milk tea and damn it was sooo good! The tea was very milky, smooth, and sweet. The bubbles were super chewy and yummy, so it was really enjoyable. My friend also ordered her yogurt where you order the size you want and then get the yogurt yourself and then go back to ask for toppings. However, the staff sort of have a bit of an accent, which may be hard for some people who aren?t familiar with chinese. There also isn?t seating anymore, so you have to either stand or find another area. Overall though everything was super quick and was priced well, it was quite a surprise to see they have a boba shop now too.

I've tried the original flavor at other red mango locations but this one doesn't quite taste the same. I don't think it's red mango froyo but I could be wrong.

A decent place if your looking for a quick frozen yogurt fix. The flavors are alright with a decent select of flavors and toppings. This red mango in particular has had issues regarding there machines, as the machines have broken in the past. Staff is friendly and the environment is pleasant and clean. I would recommend coming here.
