Red Mango

When I visited Korea a couple of years ago, one of my friends insisted on taking me to Red Mango. I thought why a frozen yogurt place? It's not popular in the U.S. anymore... But sure enough, it was surprisingly tasty. And a month later, I went to Los Angeles and found out there was a copycat store called Pinkberry. Their yogurt was very yummy, too!

So when I read the article about a Survivor winner (who's from the Bay Area) is planning to open a Red Mango store in San Francisco, I was so happy! But North Beach district didn't approve it since it is a franchise. I'm supporting 100% for not having a franchise store in North Beach but at the same time I was hoping he would find another place to have it. Well, it didn't happened.

That's why I made a special trip to University Avenue in Palo Alto.

It was a perfect, warm day for the yogurt treat.

The shop was busy but staff was very friendly.


I got original with peaches and strawberries.
The yogurt was tart and refreshing and the fruits were so fresh and sweet!
I was almost sad finishing up the last spoonful, knowing that I can't find the same taste in San Francisco. I really hope that they will find a home in San Francisco.
