I love the frozen yogurt from golden spoon because it is so smooth and creamy. I like the topping choices too. I ordered a regular chocolate with peanut butter. My toppings are almonds and coconut. They have a small parking lot behind the building. I was so happy to come back to golden spoon. We used to have them in Vegas.

It's delicious!

Arrived just after opening and met a trainee who warmly welcomed me. Bright, clean, ADA friendly. Upon ordering the experienced employee appeared. Having once been a retail manager was impressed and appreciated the patience and incredible specific, applicable direction taught in my transaction. Who knew there's a specific way to seal the top of a to-go cup or how to legitimately fill a to-go container - grateful I can depend on a uniform outcome! Wish I'd got their names; the trainer should travel your district. All of the above is impressive, yet we know it's all about the frozen yogurt! Salted Caramel is pretty spectacular and/or never a disappointment!

This is one of the OG Yogurt Shops in OC. I remember coming with my college friends. Very nostalgic for me, growing up in the area. All of the times I've visited, the staff are super friendly and helpful. Sure, some of them are more friendlier than others but they are generally all FRIENDLY. I have my FAVE servers of course. Today we came by and saw their remodeled space since a car ran into their shop a month ago. We loved the new red and black paint colors and the new floors. Looks amazing and bright now. The shop is always clean when we come in whether it's at opening, middle of the day, or in the evenings. There are times we've seen the tables dirty with melted yogurt but it's from messy customers that don't clean after themselves. When it's busy, the poor staff cannot go to clean the mess if they have a line out the door. We are ok with understanding that. I read through some of the negative reviews and they don't seem to be regulars that live in the area but people that are not locals. We've gone enough times to see that the staff are not the problem, it's almost always the rude customers. We normally get the following: 01. Chocolate Gelato (so smooth and yummy) - with Mochi, broken Waffle Cones or Granola 02. Coffee (so good) 03. Salted Caramel 04. Non-Diary (in the summertime) - Mango (would love if they had Watermelon or Peach for summertime) NOTE: They are pretty generous with portions and toppings. I like the soft-serve consistency vs the traditional stiffer texture. The Staff are always great about asking if you want your order in a cup with a lid or a cone. I always get a cup to take with me. Portions are good.

Been coming to golden spoon in CDM FOR 25 years. Everytime someone from out of town is visiting we end up our night enjoying some froyo I was embarrassed to walk in tonight. The store was disgusting and messy. The garbage can was overflowing. There were no mixers and the few that were there were overflowing into the other canisters. Huge bummer

Yougurt

This is the worst yogurt shop in oc. They will charge you more for your toppings than your actual yogurt and argue with you, keep your money when you dispute raw cookie dough sitting out for hours in your cookie dough.

More "soft-serve" consistency than frozen yogurt, but still one of my favorite dessert shops. I used to frequent the Irvine location all the time so I'm so glad there's one in CDM nearby. Can't go wrong w/ the old fashioned vanilla, and the cookies and cream is decadent and creamy. Love how many toppings there are - the edible cookie dough is a fan favorite! Excellent service - on the pricier end, but you will leave feeling satisfied (& maybe on a sugar high!)

First time coming here service was fast. Team worker named Kyle was doing an amazing job. Managed rush stunningly while efficiently completing online orders. Maintained a friendly and clean environment. Food was amazing! Give Kyle a raise!

I'm shocked by the low rating of Golden Spoon. My husband and I spent the day in CDM and thoroughly enjoyed ending the day with something sweet before heading back to San Diego. We went mid day, around 3pm, so it was very quiet with exception to the 10 people who came and went over the half hour we sat outside. The employee working was friendly and helpful and the restaurant was clean and fully stocked. I ordered a small mango passionfruit sorbet which was so tangy and delicious that I wish I would've ordered a bigger size. My hubby had the peanut butter and cookies and cream which was creamy and spectacular. Definitely going again the next time we're up there.

It's his absolute favorite, and we were so excited to hear they're opening a location closer to our home. Because we come so often, I intentionally order him the smallest serving to limit his sugar, but for years I've asked them to put that same small amount in the largest cup so it doesn't melt and spill everywhere. I'm not asking for one drop of extra gelato... just a bigger paper cup. Recently, a manager told me they could no longer do this because they're "losing too much money" on the larger cups. I was honestly flabbergasted. Meanwhile, customers standing in line are offered free gelato samples, often multiple samples, but apparently an empty larger cup for a five-year-old is where we draw the line on cost? The photos show exactly why I ask. This time we had brought friends and their children with us, and everyone walked outside with gelato overflowing and melting everywhere. At the volume they buy their cups even if the larger cup costs 50 cents more.. THEN charge me for it! I'd happily pay FOR THE COST OF A LARGER CUP. But after years of loyalty and hundreds of visits.. bringing EVERYONE for "Bacio break" being told this tiny accommodation is costing the company too much money was incredibly disappointing. The first time this manager said this, I let it slide.. this was the 4th recent visit and I HAD TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE. So although their gelato is tasty... they have a very disappointing approach to customer service from top down....hospitality is not anywhere near their priority list.

I got the frozen banana dipped in premium dark chocolate with peanuts and toasted coconut. It was the perfect frozen treat -- refreshing, chocolatey, and crunchy without being too heavy. Service was friendly too! I chatted with the guy who dipped my banana and asked if he enjoyed working there. He said yes and that it's a lot of fun, which was nice to hear. I also appreciated the wide container they serve the banana in, because toppings will definitely fall as you eat! I noticed Dad's uses a much narrower container, so this one made eating it a lot less messy. There was no line when I arrived, but around 6:30-6:45 PM, a big crowd showed up. They quickly opened a second window to keep things moving. Definitely worth a stop when you're on Balboa Island!

There's a bench across the window so you can kind of hang out there or walk up/down the fun little street while enjoying your treats which are served in separate paper boats for easy handling. Service was great. Pretty quick. You order from the window and they make your banana right in front of you. Then you pay. Easy peasy. Appreciated that they have a regular and dark chocolate option. And the number of toppings is excellent! We don't have anything like this in the SF Bay Area so I was in heaven! However, I do like my frozen bananas just dipped in chocolate with peanuts. Nothing fancy. Loved my banana! The hubby got the Balboa bar dipped in dark chocolate and peanuts. We enjoyed them both!

My go-to flavors are the white chocolate macadamia, oatmeal raisin, toffee crunch & lemon blueberry cookies. A single cookie is $2.75, which IMO, is a pretty fair price these days ~ especially since they're a generous size. Since everything is baked fresh daily, the cookies are always soft, fresh and absolutely delicious. It's cool that they offer handmade ice cream and different flavored farm fresh milks, as well. The only downside is the parking situation ~ it can be a bit of a challenge. IYKYK :/ That's pretty much the only reason I don't visit more often. I usually stop by only when I'm already in the area grabbing a meal or hanging out nearby. On every visit, the staff has been friendly, and the shop is always clean and welcoming.

This Newport Beach one, by the Newport Pier, is on the outside of a small building with a few other businesses, and a tiny free parking lot.
