Mandro

YUM!!! best bingsu with plenty of mango toppings! This was a regular and it fed 4 people! Asked for xtra condensed milk! The shaved ice consistency is 10/10!

Cute spot for bingsoo in Alameda! I got a strawberry bingsoo, and really enjoyed it. They have a lot of different flavors including mango, matcha red bean, injeolmi, original red bean milk, and chocolate. I also saw that they offered Taiwanese desserts such as all these taro ball bowls and tofu pudding. I'll have to try those sometime here.

Overview: Honestly the BEST dessert place in Alameda----Firstly, I LOVE BINGSOO. I'm so happy that we finally have a bingsoo place in Alameda without having to drive outside of our little island. Located on Park Street, MandRo Teahouse is where the old Bambu used to be, and in my opinion, is the perfect replacement for them. Parking can be a bit tough so a lot of people park in the CVS parking lot (or street parking) and just walk over. I've been here multiple times and each time I leave happy and satisfied. The portions are large even for their regular sized bingsoo. Prices depends on what flavor you order, from the cheapest to the most expensive for their regular sized binsoo are: - Injeolmi, Chocolate, and Matcha Red Bean $12.75- Mango and Strawberry $13.95Upgrading to the large size is just $3 more (it will be a literal mountain of bingsoo, regular is a lot for sharing but if you really love bingsoo, go for it!). I recommend ordering a side of extra condensed milk for $0.50 each.You order at a kiosk and when your order is ready they send out a text and call your number out. Their service is pretty quick when they aren't busy, I recomend NOT coming when Alameda High is at lunch or right when they get out because that's when they can get a bit busy. There are quite a few tables but they can fill up fast with students coming in at lunch. It's perfect for an after-dinner treat or on the weekends!I haven't tried these yet, but they also have drinks like boba, sago, milk and fruit teas, and other asian desserts like taro balls and tofu pudding.----I've tried the Matcha Red Bean and the Mango Bingsoos and I think the mango one is perfect. Matcha Red Bean 3/5:- Topped with mochi, red bean, and chopped almonds- Matcha powder sprinkled on top - I don't really like matcha flavor so this one wasn't for me- It wasn't sweet enough without the extra condensed milkMango 5/5:- Many slices of ripe mango on top AND layered in the middle of the bingsoo- Already comes with condensed milk, but I like to add extra----Overall: Perfect dessert spot for any occassion, there's always room for bingsoo!

I love that this place is open late, perfect place to grab dessert after dinner.We ordered a mango and strawberry bingsu at the kiosk. The bingsu came out quickly and the size is great for sharing. The snow ice melts in your mouth and I love that they use fresh fruits. I really like the layer of strawberry jam inside the strawberry bingsu. The mango on the other side didn't taste like it was in season.Overall, I would definitely recommend trying out this place if you have never been. It's such a refreshing Korean dessert!

Mandro opened in the long vacated Bambu Dessert space. New minimal decor of white & blue walls with assembled plaques with esoteric themes. A few tables inside.Limited menu of bingsoo, taro balls, lattes. Milk teas...counter register not functional. Kiosk has default 10% tip added plus other undisclosed fees.Single associate on duty. Drink came in 10 min.Sips: mango matcha latte (5.25) 30% ice/sugar.-looked totally green, no hint of mango, milk.-not overly sweet. No matcha/mango taste.-tasted ok. Strawberry version a better option. 3 stars. Sterile ambiance, ambiguous decor. Not a cool place to hang out. Bingsoo a better choice....

After an underwhelming dinner. Mandro knocked it out of the park. I had never had bingsoo and it is so amazing.There were kinda busy, and it took 15/20 minutes for the order to come out. But it was totally worth the wait.The texture of the snow is so fluffy. The fruit was fresh and sweet. The add ons were great. Condensed milk, almonds and strawberry sauce. The boba sucked. I wouldn't do the milk tea here. If I am ever near this place after lunch or dinner I would almost always swing by. That's a great dessert.

The bingsu (cold water - meaning ice, more like freshly fallen snow) is what we come here for - really the "Mango Bingsu" with an extra container of milked down condensed milk, comes with one but we need an extra. The ice is very, very fluffy. Mango was sweet and in season when we went.Ordering can get slow at the kiosk as you have to panel thru various screens. Interior is bright and clean. Minimal service as you order at the kiosk, they call your number, you pick it up at the counter, and return the bowls to the counter. They'll come out to wipe down the tables occasionally.

Didn't have the bingsoo but rather the combo with soft tofu, herbal jello, mochi bits in a brown sugar sauce, on a bed of shaved ice. We shared and the bowl satisfied the sweet tooth and was refreshing. Plenty of seats.. we ordered at the kiosk and they yelled out our number. paperless ordering.

I used to go MandRo all the time when I lived in Davis years ago, so I was ecstatic to find out that one opened in Alameda!I had my regular order, the mango sago, and it was just as good as it was when I was in college. MandRo is very consistent in making their drinks, I can always count on them for high quality boba.Ordering was very easy, as it's done through a kiosk. The drinks were ready very quickly. I will be back to try the bingsoo.

Located in the food mecca of Alameda's Park Street, Mandro Teahouse is by far one of the best bubble tea places on the island. Not just serving teas here but also some healthy dessert bowls as well. The Mango Sago was my favorite because they blend real mangoes, not the powder kind or any of those sugar filled syrups like other places, in fact they use real fruits in all of their tea drinks. If you don't mind the wait, this place won't disappoint in taste.
