Berryline’s three locations currently offer three flavors at any one time, allowing customers to choose from an “original?? and two specialty flavors, such as guava or banana. When Red Mango opens in downtown Boston as early as next month, it too will boast specialty flavors. Back Bay resident Brittany J.
