order: mango sticky rice smoothie and strawberry yogurt smoothie. highlights: - very large and charming interior, a great hangout spot! - i loved how they had a separate kiosk for take out or drink orders - the other mango items looks amazing as well, the ones we ordered were so good cons: - the sticky rice at the bottom of the mango drink was pretty hard and difficult to get through the straw. - the yogurt smoothie was a bit tart but i personally did not mind! overall: I would definitely go back! I am so excited to try new items next time I go!! read more

MNGO cafe - mango sticky rice smoothie strawberry yogurt smoothie - Desserts Near Me - San Diego, California

First time here, and I really enjoyed the ambiance! The space is super cool, spacious, and has plenty of seating, making it a great place to relax. We tried the Coco Mango and the Mango Sticky Rice. The Coco Mango was delicious--sweet, refreshing, and very hydrating. My only feedback would be about the Mango Sticky Rice. While it tasted good, I was a bit surprised by the portion size. At $15, it comes with three small scoops of sticky rice and half a mango, which felt a little pricey for the amount served. I personally think it would offer better value with a slightly larger portion. Overall, I had a great first experience and would definitely come back, especially for the drinks and the atmosphere! read more

I used to be a big MNGO Cafe fan; I would take everyone who visited me here until something changed. Their staff there has gotten progressively ruder over the last few months. The last three times I have gone there after 10, they have said they're only serving drinks. Yesterday I asked what the cutoff time for desserts was so that next time I can plan to come before then, and the person at the till said 10:30. I showed her that it was still 10:20, and she said, "Yeah, we're not doing drinks after 10:30." I feel like 10:30 was just a made-up time. I would appreciate it if I could know when the kitchen closes; most businesses worth their salt provide customers with such time estimates. I don't think I am going to be wasting my time with this place anymore. I did try thrice before writing this review. As good as their desserts are, I do appreciate businesses that value customers, and I don't feel welcome in this establishment. read more

An adorable dessert cafe that specializes in all things mango! I got the OMG, which is a sampling platter. The standout was definitely the mango sticky rice ice cream, it was creamy and delicious. The sticky rice was a good mix of salty and sweet. Mangoes weren't quite in season yet when I visited, so my mango was a little sour, but I liked how they used fresh ones! The interior is so cute and of course mango themed. The wait wasn't too long, but they do warn you that it will take longer if you get the shaved ice since they make it to order. Overall this is a great spot to take any mango lover! read more

Came in for dessert after dinner with my husband on a Sunday night and it was packed! A very popular spot, with a beautiful mango tree in the middle of the shop for those picture perfect moments with the most delicious desserts. I love coming here when I'm in the area. Don't let parking deter you away, it is absolutely worth it! We ordered the Rose Lychee Kakigori and Mango Sago. While kakigori may have a little bit of a wait for it to be prepared, very much so worth it. Both desserts are huge, very shareable and the perfect dessert for a warm summer day. The perfect amount of tapioca in the Mango sago and a variety of fresh cut mango, mango pudding and mango ice cream to enjoy! The rose lychee kakigori looks like a huge snow pile but hiding under the delicious snow is an abundance of lychee fruit and jellies to enjoy. Getting a spot for a large group can be tricky but definitely add this to your just try dessert list! read more

The ultimate destination for mango lovers! This is my go-to spot for shave ice and mango treats. I recently tried the mango sago and the mango sundae. The mango sago was the standout with incredibly flavorful. The sundae was good, but the cold ice cream unfortunately hardened the sticky rice, masking the texture. Overall, it's a charming little spot, just keep in mind it gets pretty busy and the wait for the shave takes time to prepare. read more

MNGO Cafe is one of my favorite dessert places of all time as a mango lover! It's amazing to be greated with a mango-centric decor and menu when you walk in (though if you're in the mood for something else, they've got items for you too). I cannot overstate how amazing the MNGO Kakigori here is, it's a must-try! read more

MNGO cafe - MNGO Kakigori - Desserts Near Me - San Diego, California

MNGO serves a variety of delicious Mango based desserts. The quality is very consistent year after year. We've been bringing family from out of town here for years and it has not disappointed. Desserts: - Mango Kakigori: (5/5) the go to, the gold standard, the most popular. Delicious flavored shaved ice, with a fruit filling, and topped with mango glaze and condensed milk. A must try. Often takes 45 minutes during the post dinner rush. - OMG Oh Man Go: (5/5) this one is another banger. Fresh sliced Mango and sticky rice and ice cream. This one is really well made and always hits the spot. - Crème Brûlée: (3/4) this one is a little "out there" for MNGO but we tried it to be adventurous. Solid but I prefer other dishes here. - MNGO sago: (3/5) tapioca Mango based desserts. Solid but not spectacular in my opinion. MNGO is pretty packed and loud on weekend nights and weekday nights alike. The line is usually out the door and it's very difficult to get a table. Parking is usually OK since the local pho shop in the plaza isn't as busy by dessert time. It is worth it if you love Mango desserts! It's a go to dessert spot with family for us. read more

Came here craving mango and wanted to leave in an instant. The second you walk into the place it's super hot n muggy. I couldn't even begin to describe how unpleasant of a scent the whole place was covered in the second you walk into the door. It's like a combination of incenses, toilet water, and sewer in combination with how the air was. This was also on May 22, 2026 at approximately 2100 for reference. Despite that, I was still craving mango so we ordered Togo. The sticky rice combination with the coconut cream is great and honestly the only reason I gave this place one star. Well I guess the interior decorations are also nice but that scent will make u want to get out of there in an instant. The mango itself was super sour how disappointing. The sago wasn't anything special. Parking surprisingly wasn't so bad but usually really packed and hard to find a spot. After tonight event I won't be coming back. I'd rather buy mango from the grocery store or even sticky rice from another restaurant that isn't as nasty as this. read more

Decided to give MNGO a try. Two of us had: mngo sago $11.95 mango strawberry fruit tea with boba $7.95 Mngo sago was ok, toppings were all avg. Nice that most of the ice cream is dairy free (except vanilla based on staff). Fruit tea was a bit tasteless and boba was not good at all. Limited parking during peak hours in the plaza. Open to trying the shaved ice or maybe another drink if I'm ever in the area again. read more

1000/10!! This cafe is so cute! Plenty of parking and the cafe is decorated with mango theme everywhere!!! I loved it so much since mango is my favorite fruit!! The service was quick and the food was delicious!! We loved the black sesame ice cream! The mango was ripe and perfect. The tri color rice all tasted the same but I don't mind bc it's my favorite part! Mango jello reminded me of the jello I ate as a kid from the Asian store. I'd definitely come again! Would be a cute place yo study, date, bring the kids/fam! read more

First things first, there is free parking and it's in a huge shared lot. I'm not sure what the two recent reviewers are talking about. We parked and we stayed for as long as we liked. There was no security and we went around 9:15 pm on a Tuesday. Second, we ordered two items and none of them were overwhelmingly sweet. They were way less sweet than any American dessert place. We ordered the black sesame dessert and mango sago. I kind of wished the pictures looked like what you got, to make it look more accurate. They were huge servings, you can easily share with 2-3 people. I liked both desserts equally. The staff was very kind. Apparently, it's a big hangout for teenagers and tweens and they dirtied up the place by leaving their dishes on the tables. The food and service is a 5 out of 5. Ambiance is like a 3 out of 5. The total score is a 4 out of 5. read more

After a delicious omakase experience at Matoi (located in the same plaza), we were looking for round two of dessert. I was pretty excited to try this spot because it's been bookmarked for over 6 years but I haven't had the chance to try it until now. Usually I would order 2-3 desserts but since we were pretty full, we just opted for the mango shaved ice. I love the cream on top and the pudding that is inside the shaved ice. They also give you a side of mango sauce and condensed milk in case it's not sweet enough for you. It was a perfect portion size for about two of us and maybe because it was a late thursday evening, there was barely any wait for us. Lots of seating inside, so it's great for big groups. I'll be back to try more shaved ice and other mango desserts during my next visit! read more

Every single time I come here the desserts are delicious. There is always a wait, because this place is so popular. We came on a Monday, and there was still a wait. But safe to say, the wait is SOOO worth it. The ambiance is super cute inside, very cafe vibes. I love their basic stuff so I usually go with the mango sticky rice or the sundae. Parking easy, staff are super nice read more

It could just be me, but I wasn't completely impressed with this place. Don't get me wrong the menu is absolute GOLD. I love it and there are so many options to choose from but I didn't love everything I tried. I ordered 3 macarons: pistachio, chai tea and strawberry For $2 the size was fine, the crunch was there and every bite was super soft w/ a good amount of filling. I think it was just the artificial flavoring I could taste that I didn't like. I'd probably give it like a 2/5. The mango sticky rice was actually a sweet deal. I like that it came with ice cream of your choice. I got the mango flavor and it also came with either a custard or pudding in the box w/ 3 scoops of rice and mango. The only thing I didn't like is I wish there were more mango pieces and I wasn't a fan of having to scoop it off the peel. I'm used to it being already cut and w/ way more mango. Buttt I do like the aesthetic of it it's a really cute vibe. Inside is huge with a lot of space. I love the setup of the mango tree and seating around it, it totally fits the whole theme. Lastly, I had the creme brulee vietnamese coffee. It wasn't bad or amazing, kinda in the middle. I'd rate it like a 6/10, but this is just me! Service was really good and I was able to adjust my sweetness level of the coffee. It is strong which i enjoyed but not super memorable to me. Definitely give them a try though! Overall, the style, vibe, plating, logos everything is a 10. I just wasn't wowed by anything. Would I come back? Possibly. read more

Mango lovers, this is one dessert shop you won't wanna miss! For our visit, my BFF & I got the OMG Oh-Man-Go, Black Sesame Soy Pudding, and Mango Shaved Snow. If you're looking for something on the lighter side, then I recommend the shaved snow. You're basically eating mango flavored shaved ice that's significantly lower in calories than the other desserts. I'm normally a fan of black sesame ice cream, but I would advise against it. The taste is too heavy on the cream side. The texture wasn't very smooth either, so I didn't enjoy it. The OMG Oh-Man-Go overall was a very heavy dessert. It came with 3 big sticky rice balls that you eat with the mango and coconut milk, a mango pudding, and your choice of ice cream. The Black Sesame Soy Pudding came in a soupy bowl. It had soy pudding, a large scoop of black sesame ice cream, brown sugar boba, and black sesame balls. This dessert would've tasted better without the black sesame ice cream. Skip the black sesame ice cream and maybe you'll enjoy your desserts more than we did. We might come back, but know what to avoid next time. read more

Went to MNGO cafe with a friend for my birthday a few days ago. I had been wanting some mango sticky rice and had never tried this place before. The way they described how MNGO cafe does it was "it's a presentation". They were right. When you eat in-store, your order comes on a wooden plate and each item has its own section. We got the OMG plate which has one slice of mango, sticky rice, mango pudding and ice cream. You get chose what flavor you want and we both chose mango. The presentation, A+. This was so cute. I don't like my food to touch so as the ice cream began to melt, I was moving things around but that just means you gotta eat the ice cream first. I think next time I would ask for the ice cream in a cup cause it spilled all over the table. I think the plate is only high enough to keep it for the presentation. We went on a Thursday around 1p. There was only one family present. The staff were super chill. There is lots of seating (the have those nice bench seats too). They have so many options and of things that are completely different. They also serve milk tea which is something I would not have assumed! I'll have to come back and try something else. read more

Ordered the MNGO Kakigori -mango flavored ice mango pudding fresh mango house cream sauce to share. It was soooo DELICIOUS!! The dessert was amazingly light and just flavorful!!! Next time I'm not sharing!! lol I highly recommend this place!! I'm surely coming back soon to try other items in the menu!!!! Thank you read more

Came here due to so many reviews on yelp! When I came in and queued, there were staffs behind the counter who were busy by themselves and didn't even acknowledge the line of people (since there was no person dedicated to take order). I did order MNGO Sago which was great taste, it came with tasty mango ice cream, some cubes of mango and mango pudding over the mango. Other order that placed was Vietnamese Coffee which was so disappointing! As you can see from the pic, the fill the ice FULLL however, they didn't fill the coffee till full (this considering the amount of ice, the liquid is not even half of the cup!) AND I was charged full! Taste wise, considering drinking 'thousand times' of Vietnamese Coffee, this WAS NOT the one; it was awful since the coffee is not strong and didn't taste enough condensed milk. This was not something pleasant as first visit to my opinion. Decor is influenced with plastic mango tree & fruit which was the concept of this cafe which quite appealing. Will I come back?! I will think 1,000 times for this to be honest. read more

Took a quick trip to SD and wanted a sweet treat so I stopped by this cute dessert shop where they served so many different desserts from mango, shaved iced, milk teas, and ice cream. The wait for the shaved ice was quite long about 40 minutes so I opted for the mango sago and ice cream instead. The mango sago was solid with chunks of fresh mango and a sweet mango pudding. The black sesame ice cream was actually 11/10 amazing it was such a strong nutty flavor that I couldn't get before!! There's lots of seating indoors for large groups to gather and enjoy desserts together. read more

One of my favorite dessert places on convoy. Very easy to park because it's in a shopping plaza and parking is complimentary for two hours. Their ambience is so playful and fun with the mango tree in the center and lots of cute wall decor. The mango is so fresh and they have so many options for shaved ice as well as different kinds of desserts. I have been here multiple times over the years. I went most recently this past weekend and we got two different kakigori. So light and delicious. It comes with a fruit sauce as well as condensed milk and then underneath all of the shaved ice, they have jelly or boba or pieces of fresh fruit. Perfect stop after eating lunch on convoy. read more

I came here super excited to try the mango desserts here, but it really disappointed me. They have many mango desserts, so maybe I got the wrong one. However, such a simple dessert shouldn't be hard to make. MNGO Sago - I got 25% sweetness and it was SUPER sweet. There was a lot of sago and the drink itself was very thick. I liked the coconut flavor, but the sweetness was overwhelming. The mango flavor tasted syrupy. I honestly wish I got something else but I can only write a review based on what I had here. I would give it another shot but get another dessert. read more

The music and Decore provide a nice feel good place to really have a good time with a date or a group of friends. The Mango dishes are very thoughtfully created. I tried the Mango Sago which was amazing! It was hard to finish since we just came from eating lunch down the street. We also ordered the OMG - Oh Mango, which is half a mango, scoop of ice cream, mango pudding, and sticky rice (sticky rice was ) The workers were friendly and helpful. Parking is normally crazy but today wasn't bad at all. If you like Mango or even fresh deserts and drinks you should definitely stop in! read more

MNGO Cafe is good if you're really fiending for a sweet, sweet treat. This was my second time coming by and trying out their menu with family. I love the large mango tree in the middle of the building. This spot is always usually busy, but the wait isn't too bad. Their menu is intensely mango-focused, which I personally love. The last time I was here, I had their sticky rice mango smoothie, which was definitely on the sweet side but good, and the MNGO sago. The MNGO sago was super tasty from what I remember. This second time around, my family decided to split a couple of the kakigori as well as try out non-mango items. The MNGO and strawberry cheesecake kakigori were both so yum! The shave ice was so soft and the flavors were super balanced. We tried two of their matcha drinks- the pure ceremonial matcha and the matcha latte. The pure matcha was great- the perfect sweetness level. The matcha latte was way too sweet. read more

When I had their mango cheesecake the first time in Sept 2025 it was the perfect cheesecake flavor, creamy, topped with fresh sweet mangos, and the delicious mango sauce that came with it was love at first bite. However I just revisited them again a few days ago and ordered the same cheesecake again. It was so far from the one I had back in Sept. Not sure what changed - was it the mango not in season, different chef, different recipe? The cheesecake did not taste fresh this time and the mango tasted a little artificial. Something is off for sure. For now my rating is a 3.5/5 but will round up to 4 stars. read more

MNGO Cafe is a great go-to spot in Kearny Mesa for mango lovers. The place is spacious, with plenty of seating and a cool mango tree right in the middle that gives it a fun, tropical vibe without feeling over-the-top. The staff here are really helpful--they let me sample several flavors and took the time to describe each one, explaining the taste profiles and sweetness levels so I could decide without guessing. Made choosing easy and enjoyable. I went with the creamy mango sticky rice ice cream, and it was spot-on: super smooth and rich, with that perfect mango flavor coming through clearly, plus the sticky rice adding nice texture. Not overly sweet--just balanced and refreshing. Hit the spot perfectly. If you're in the Convoy area and craving mango-inspired desserts, this place delivers. Solid service, nice atmosphere, and tasty treats. Will be back! read more

MNGO cafe San Diego, CA Date went 11/20/25 (Saturday) Time went 4:15pm - not too busy considering it was the weekend Time ordered food 3:59pm Got our food at 4:18pm (19 minutes) - I feel like this is a pretty long wait time for 3 items that don't really really need to be cooked Food ordered: MNGO Sundae: Sweet sticky rice, fresh mango, choice of ice cream ($11.95) MNGO Kakigori: Mango ice fresh mangoes, mango pudding, house cream, mango sauce ($15.95) Creme brûlée Vietnamese coffee: ($6.95) Grand total: $37.56 Food ratings: MNGO Sundae: 8.5/10; The mango sticky rice has the PERFECT texture, it's warm, and is the perfect contrast to the mango ice cream I ordered my sundae with. I loved this dish and shared it with my boyfriend, so the serving size is enough for two. However, you're probably going to want your own and not want to share! Some family members of mine tried this for the first time based upon my recommendation and they also loved this dish. MNGO Kakigori: 8.5/10; The shaved ice has the PERFECT texture. This dish was light, refreshing, not heavy on the stomach. Although the ice was supposed to have a mango flavor I don't feel like it was very prominent. If you get this food item you have to USE THE SAUCES it comes with, it completes this dish. Creme brûlée Vietnamese coffee: 8.5/10; This coffee item is unique in that it's a perfect perfect of both Creme brûlée and coffee. You are actually able to crack the caramelized sugar layer that sits on top of the coffee and taste the coffee! It's addicting and definitely worth a try. Atmosphere: Clean, cute, and cozy. You'll enjoy eating any of the cold dishes on the menu inside this cute and warm establishment. They even decorate for Christmas inside! Think this would be a really cute date spot. Overall: - This is one of my boyfriend and Is favorite dessert spots; we recommend it to anyone that visits San Diego - All dishes here that we've tried, we've been here twice now, are at least a solid 8 - I'm so sad that they don't have a location in the IE - The wait time could use a little improvement (had the wait time been slightly shorter I would've bumped my rating to a 5) - It's worth the money and will be coming back again! read more

As a huge mango lover, I genuinely think this is the best dessert spot in San Diego. I've been here many times and almost always order the Oh-Man-Go--it's consistently amazing. I recently tried the mango matcha latte as well, and it was just as delicious. The staff is friendly, and while it can get crowded during peak hours, you can usually still find a table. I often bring friends who are visiting San Diego here, and everyone absolutely loves it. The cute mango tree decor in the center of the store is such a fun and charming touch too. read more

The black sesame balls were very chewy and very big in size. It's definitely a dish meant to be shared. We got the black sugar milk tea drink but unfortunately it was very dark brewed and bitter. We also got the Strawberry Yakult drink but it was very sour too. I would probably skip on the drinks or at least these 2 specifically. The staff was friendly and it's a cool place to hang out with friends. read more
