    Vanilla / Strawberry Swirl
    Felicity D.

    The worst soft serve ice cream I've ever had... The strawberry flavor was very artificial tasting which isn't my favorite. While I was eating it though, it was feeling powdery, which shouldn't be normal for ice cream? Presentation looks pretty though.

    This is one of the many food options at the Source. It's conveniently located on the first level, away from the food court and restaurant levels. It offered a nice service of ice cream and it tasted delicious. The ambiance is outdoor table seating in a mall/shopping center. The ordering and serving process took a little longer than normal considering it was a slow evening on a weeknight.

    I decided to try this place out. I have been to the source several times already. Walking around the source I see the ice creams pictured around so I made sure to stop by. Then I saw the menu and went with an affogato. I got an iced matcha latte for my niece. There is seating nearby. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

    We ordered the strawberry and vanilla ice cream swirl. Overall, the swirl didn't really work, there was much more strawberry than vanilla. The taste of the strawberry soft serve was too artificial and did not taste good.

    Don Melt is a hidden gem located on the first floor of The Source. We stopped by for a quick dessert and ordered the vanilla and strawberry cones. Simple, but so satisfying. The menu lists the soft serve as non-dairy, which was a plus since my friend is lactose intolerant. Unfortunately, he didn't feel well afterward, so if you're strictly avoiding dairy, it's unclear whether their soft serve is truly 100% dairy-free. Friendly service and a cute spot, but something to keep in mind if you have dietary sensitivities.

    We wandered here after a heart meal, and decided to get sweet treat! Ended up ordering the Mugwort latte and the Corn latte. How unique!!! The corn latte was exactly what I thought it would be. But not in a bad way! I love a sweet corn drink! Super milky and fragrant! The mugwort one was interesting, I don't think I liked the aftertaste as much, but that's on me hahaha. They also had a Black Sesame latte, which I would love to try next time! Other things on their menu include affogatos, milk ice cream swirl (super tall!), pastries, smoothies, etc. A really cute and simple dessert stop!

    Really wanted to like this place, but sadly it was such a disappointment. Ordered the Matcha Affogato and the Mini 4 Set Croffles. Everything was overly sweet. There was barely any matcha in the affogato. The Croffles weren't that good, tasted very meh. There wasn't a line, but it took a while for our order to be made. Service wasn't great either. Definitely not coming back here.

    My son said the strawberry swirl ice cream was delicious! It was a nice treat to end the visit, and now he's already asking when we can come back.

    My friend and I decided to stop by as we were already at the Source and wanted a quick and simple after-dinner sweet treat...and were we a bit disappointed with the soft serve. The decor on the other hand was quite nice. I got the strawberry soft serve and it was a bit disappointing. The soft serve reminded me of the Nesquik strawberry milk, but as an ice cream. It wasn't necessarily bad, but it just didn't taste quite right. The flavor was a bit off putting. Not sure if I would consider giving this place another shot or not, but as of now I'll stay away.

    Croffles

    This place is amazing! The service was great & the food was so good! I've never had a croffle before and it was delicious! Would definitely recommend this place.

    Came here for a sweet treat. This is a little place located on the first floor of the source. It's outdoor with a patio area. I ordered a blueberry yogurt smoothie and strawberry croffle. Both tasted great, especially the croffle. I would return to try other things.

    This is a very cute outdoor drink spot inside of an outdoor mall. There is a large parking structure connected. My daughter got a mango smoothie that she said was every bit of fresh and delicious. The staff serving drinks was kind. We enjoyed have refreshments and great for a quick stop in between shopping.

    Are the croffles vegan?

    No it's regular croissant.

    What is your non-dairy ice cream made of? Are there any nut ingredients (such as nut based milk)? Thanks!

    It's plant based. And there are no nuts ingredients.

    Do you have Vegan options?

    Thanks for asking! Ice cream is Non-Dairy Special drinks as well.

    This was one of the few businesses that have been there since I first started visiting the Source…read more(looking at pre-COVID days) that have remained until now. It's located on the first floor on the in between "halls". The times that I've gone there have been quite busy, very surprising for a place that used to be super dead, and even now with more businesses, I still see a good amount of people dining in for their bingsoo. Service is decently fast. There's seating inside and outside, but it's SUPER limited. You might have to take it to go and go into the food court seating area or to the lawn stairs area. Because of the number of customers, it weirdly gets warm inside and it can get messy and dirty. As expected of trash cans filling up, dessert melting and getting everywhere on the tables, etc. So just keep that in mind. I'm unfortunately super biased due to Sul and Beans and that's been my standard since it's the first and closest Korean shaved ice to me. For our visit we got the Melon Okbingsul. We got the cup size since this was more than enough to share with 3 people. All of the toppings are on top. It's cantaloup balls with condensed milk, vanilla ice cream and cheese cake bits and a raspberry. All the toppings are at the top, so with the limited amount of space, this might make it tough to evenly distribute things out without using a separate cup or spilling it over. It's literally smooth shaved ice that's being carried by the toppings all on top. It's no interspersed or that unique in comparison to other bingsoo I've had elsewhere. Now with more emerging eateries in the Source, there's more options out there for dessert.

    What happened to this place? Is the owner not taking care of this dessert shop?…read more I remember the bingsoos being tasty with ice finely shaved... Not last night's bingsoo... ice was corse and messy...$30 for 2 corse ice desserts... They were only accepting cash and the place was HOT inside. I should have checked reviews first... Desserts costing this kind of money means owners need to step it up Please DO BETTER

    Decent beverages and treats spot located at the Source (outdoor mall) in Buena Park. The hubby,…read morestepdaughter and I were walking around the ground level and opted for this spot for smoothies. Plenty of tables and chairs for seating and partaking in either beverages, savory noodles, sweet treats, or soft serve. The stepdaughter and I both chose pistachio smoothies which were very tasty and satisfying on a warm SoCal day. Hubby chose a peach flavored smoothie that he also thought was tasty. Their happy face logo on the cups is cute. Service at the counter was OK not memorable. They were pretty busy on a Saturday late afternoon so I remember wiping off the table we sat in with some of my own sanitizer and napkins. We seldom go to the Source but if we visit this area again, we would try Overflo's soft serve. 3.5 stars rounded down.

Great service, the girl at the counter was helpful and sweet. Located in the source OC, a korean mall with a lots of parking!

    Let me start off by saying that honeymee is actually my favorite dessert spot because I absolutely…read morelove the milk and honey flavor combo. The soft serve ice cream is decadent and there are plenty of toppings they offer. Although the fruit syrup flavors are popular, I shy away from them as some of them are two sweet and/or artificial tasting. There is lots of parking, the store is hidden in a little corner next to the gas station, and there are a few outdoor tables and chairs. This used to be my go-to location but, as you can see in other reviews, service is not the best. It's a gamble to see if they're still open after work, because the employees always choose to close up shop before the listed time. They also start serving only ice cream after a certain time that varies, which should be listed somewhere. You don't really know what time they'll decide to close up for the day or start only serving ice cream. The phone number shown online is not in service either, so you can't really call and check to see if they're still "open." When I'm just chilling in the plaza, I even see that they'll put up the 10 minute break sign sometime in the last hour before 10 p.m. (or whenever they actually are supposed to close) and then just stop serving desserts. Over time, I've seen so many people walk away and have to tell their friends no honeymee for today (rip). I get wanting to clean everything to go home earlier, but the listed times should be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, they should put up a consistent time somewhere informing that they start only serving ice cream after that time. Management clearly doesn't care based on the overall ratings. Although it is farther and a bit pricier, I primarily drive to the Irvine location now because they are much more consistent with service, have a wider menu selection, and even offer kiosk ordering.
