This is my favorite Golden Spoon location! Nadia was super kind and helpful as I made my flavor selection. She put me onto the strawberry shortcake flavor and it is so delicious! She took her time with allowing us to sample flavors, was super personable, and overall made the experience delightful! Shoutout to Nadia for her great customer service! read more

Likes: + Decent variety of fruity flavors. + Yummy ice cream. + Fast service. + Ample parking. + They offer a big lid to prevent spillage. Other places don't even have lids. . Friendliness of service was ok. . Not much indoor seating. . No unique flavors to stand out from other ice cream shops. Non-likes: - Even with the lid, a little still spilled through. I guess that's the price you pay for getting a cup overfilled with ice cream. - They should label all the toppings. I don't know the name of the one I chose, but I liked it. I had: $4.95 mini (4oz) cup + $1 mini topping = $5.95 read more

Golden Spoon - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I was so happy to find this yogurt place after I went to Wild Fork across the parking lot. They had peanut butter yogurt, which is my favorite. The girl who worked at the register was helpful and sweet!! I think it's much better than Yogurt land read more

Golden Spoon - Yummy Large Frozen Yogurt - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

For a long time I had been craving some frozen yogurt, so while I was out running some errands I punched in "frozen yogurt" in my G Maps and was happy that this place was right around the corner of where I was. So I pressed START on my phone and made my way to Golden Spoon. The funny thing about craving frozen yogurt is that I am not a sweets person at all. That's why I could have a craving for this, but it took me months to actually go. Craving for chips/salsa chicken wings or french fries and I would take care of that immediately. I'm just weird that way. When I arrived, there was a family of four struggling to get their two small kids to decide what flavors they wanted. That was fine, since I was not sure what I wanted and what size. Once the family negotiated the flavors out of their kids, they got their bowls and moved on to a table. As I stepped up, I was still deciding what I wanted. I know that I wanted vanilla, my clear favorite, but wanted something along with it. Chocolate would be my normal go to, but I really wanted to try another flavor. I chose salted caramel, along with the expected vanilla. The server gave me a nice greeting and asked what I wanted. Very nice and looking to help me eliminate this once every couple year craving for frozen yogurt. I placed my order and was soon given a pretty large cup of frozen yogurt spires reaching up to the sky. Very generous portion for a regular size. And all that for $5.95. It's been a long time since I complimented the cost of eating out. It's been about 4 years, starting in 2021. Wonder what that timing aligns with??? Brandon? I sat down and thoroughly enjoyed my frozen yogurt snack. The flavors were both very good, but I did not like the combo of vanilla and caramel. Should have done vanilla and chocolate or chocolate and caramel. Not a restaurant problem, a customer choice issue! As I said they were individually each great, but not a good combo IMHO. The place is clean, even the bathroom. The server was very nice. They have a wide range of flavors. The portions are great. I feel sorry for the server and others that work in the food service industry. If you recall the family with the undecided kids I mentioned earlier, they were first sitting at a table inside. They got up to move to an outside table and the table was a mess with yogurt drippings and toppings, yet they just left it as is. When I left, they were no longer at the outside table but their four cups and napkins were still on the table. Amazingly, there was a trash can a couple of feet away. Not a restaurant issue, a crappy people issue. Go. Eat Well. HAVE FUN! read more

See all

A very aggressive older woman harassed the poor doordasher tonight who was simply trying to take a photo of the hours on the door since they had closed their doors (it was 9:01pm when he walked up) and to show the customer why they wouldn't let him pick the order up. she kept questioning why he was there. he repeated he was a doordasher several times and that he needed to show the customer proof. he was very nice and quite patient considering the way she was speaking to him. She seemed like the owner, either that or just the mom of an employee who was inside. either way, terrible way of treating a person. take your service to another location! i'm sure the people who own the other locations are much nicer. the young girl with the reddish hair (not her daughter) was excellent! she should change locations as well :) read more

The male employee working around 1:30pm to 2ish today, 11/21, was the perfect employee and a true asset. It was busy and he was so patient with an elderly couple checking out. They thought they had points and rather than just say no and move on to next in line, he took time to verify their phone number. A simple act that showed he cared about the customers and they felt that. With another customer who paid cash, he informed the next customer that he would be just a second as he washed his hands. Yet again caring about the customer and the overall cleanliness of his environment. These kinds of habits are rare, it's not just that he was trained well, he genuinely cares. What a great employee. read more

Service in this place is really bad. 2nd time in this location. Only 1 girl working on a Sunday night. She didn't acknowledge me and helped another lady first that walked in after me. Maybe just short staffed tonight but I didn't get good service last time either. Maybe because they're young but please teach them good customer service. read more

5 out of 5 stars. friendly staff that always smiles and a clean shop that looks good. yogurt is amazing

Love this Golden Spoon! This location is super spacious with plenty of seating, which is nice. You don't have to wait to eat your froyo and have it all melt. They have a great variety of flavors, and I'm especially obsessed with their tart. Can't ever go wrong with plain tart. It's seriously SO good! The toppings are always fresh and clean, though I do wish they had Fruity Pebbles. The staff here is honestly the sweetest. They're all so friendly and welcoming. Every time I'm in this plaza, I can't help but stop by for some frozen yogurt! 10/10!! read more

I went in last night for yogurt and it was delicious! The store was very clean and the girls working provided excellent customer service.

I came here with my boyfriend after a day at the beach for a nice little treat. I liked the ambiance of this place, it's much more eccentric than the Golden Spoon closer to my house. I just got their chocolate frozen yogurt with some chewy gummy bears. The service was quick and easy and it was the perfect snack for a hot summer day. read more

Golden Spoon - Chocolate frozen yogurt with gummy bears - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Excellent. Quick and great customer service. The portions are very generous and they really make sure to give you a heap full of toppings. Plus they have a great selection of flavors. The taste does not disappoint. I've tried many yogurt places and this is still the pick for me. It's a nice blend between ice cream and yogurt. More on the creamy side. It's a plus they have tart flavors too. Also it's a nice location and even has seating which is rare that these days for frozen yogurt chains. read more

this use to be my favorite yogurt shop, but that is no longer true. The last several times I have been there, the portions have gotten smaller and smaller, despite prices going up. out of curiosity this last time, I weighed the 3 large cups of yogurt that my family ordered once I got home. the weights,cup, lid, and all were 10.23oz, 11.15 oz, and 10.14oz. i believe the large is supposed to be 12 oz (my husband says 16, but that seems like a pint) and that should be the weight of the yogurt, not the container and lid. We have complained in person and via email, but nothing has changed, so we will spend our money elsewhere. some of the staff is friendly, but the last 2 times, they were more interested in talking with one another and their friends in the store than in helping customers. read more

This is the nicest Golden Spoon I've ever been to. The ambiance is amazing, the service was great and there's no frozen yogurt as good as Golden Spoon. I'll be back whenever I'm in South Orange County. read more

Last night I was unsure what to get at golden spoon upon entry, but I was greeted with a kind smile and an enthusiastic hello by Lily! She was so welcoming and patient and made great conversation! I could tell she loves her job and it enhanced my experience greatly. I will definitely be going back regularly :) read more

Golden spoon is always a good go to when you need a quick fix for frozen yogurt. I don't go to this location often, because I don't live close to it, but I've been a few times in the last couple weeks and it's always been great. The frozen yogurt flavors are awesome. And the girls who usually serve you are very kind. The ambience could use a little bit of assistance, there's not much going on, and if there's a line, you get bored pretty quickly waiting for your turn. I will return here, overall, it's great. read more

Pretty good frozen yogurt if you ask me. Not sure how one would move to 5 stars for a takeaway yogurt shop so 4 stars is pretty darn high of a rating. A small size is plenty for most people but if you want to share then go for a medium. Would be GREAT if they offered a separate cup with your choices of toppings for a small fee so you could add more toppings later as you eat your yogurt. Something like 3 additional toppings for 50 cents? But they have to be like 2 tablespoons each. read more

Love Golden Spoon! Always good, never disappointed! Best frozen yogurt around in my opinion! read more

I'd forgotten how good their yogurt is. Prior to Covid, I'd been going to the self serve yogurt places but for now I'm kinda avoiding that stuff. I was craving froyo and they did not disappoint. They had about ten different flavor choices. I went with peanut butter. It isn't often that you find peanut butter without chocolate, so when I find it, I have to get it. I tried the coconut and it was also amazing. I love the super creamy texture. You can get any size with multiple flavors. They also offer lots of toppings and sauces but I didn't get anything added to my bowl...this time. I'm so glad I remembered this store...what a great treat!! read more

My daughter and I had great ice cream at GS. They were friendly and give you samples to taste before you order any. I had Salty Caramel, and my daughter had traditional vanilla. Very nice place to sit and enjoy some nice tasty ice cream. Highly recommended read more

Golden Spoon - the counter of a coffee shop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Sometimes you just get a craving for froyo... and Golden Spoon can fill that. This location has all the usual great flavours -- Just Chocolate is mine. Perhaps what this location doesn't have is friendly staff. When I popped in, there were two aloof teenagers behind the counter. No greeting. It appeared as if my business was an inconvenience to their social conversation. 2017: 42/100 read more

Amazing customer service as well as very high quality icecream! Everything is very organized and workers are so so sweet! Specifically one worker named Chloe had the nicest smile and was extremely helpful! read more

I have always been a big fan of golden spoon. I come often with my family for a sweet treat but recently I have noticed that the prices have been raised. I think these new prices are ridiculous for frozen yogurt. I will definitely not be coming back as often due to these new prices. The only thing provoking me to come back is the customer service. I came in on Monday evening with my daughter and the two young ladies working were extremely friendly and helpful and the store was very clean, I could tell they were very efficient workers. If the prices go back to normal I will definitely be coming back often. read more

This is the best Golden Spoon around. They have a great selection of flavors, many of the classics and a few others. After putting up with the CdM and Irvine locations for years, it's nice to be able to eat this yogurt again. The girls working here are very sweet, portions are always big and consistent, and they seem happy to serve you 20-30 min before closing! read more

Customer service was fantastic. I went in not knowing what to order and instead of the employee being irritated and impatient with me while she handed me numerous (more like 4) samples, she was smiley and super helpful. She gave recommendations and she was just a doll! Then her coworker came out and we joked about how cake batter was glorified vanilla...which is partially true. So thankful I went into Golden Spoon tonight because I seriously needed the huge smile I walked out with. Thank you Kelly and Hudson for your kindness and superb customer service! read more

The girl with the curly black hair behind the counter didn't even acknowledge me when I walked in and served 3 people before turning to me. She also had a bad attitude for no apparent reason. If you don't like your job, get another one. read more

My boyfriend & I had a great experience at this Golden Spoon location because of Lily. She was very friendly, engaging, and helpful. She has amazing energy and provided up with exceptional customer service! read more

I am so disappointed with this business. I am a regular weekly customer. The manager Brittany usually helps me and is always very nice and pleasant. I was in the store yesterday and was helped by a young kid who said his name was Carlos the new owner.I asked for a regular of peanut butter cup yogurt. After tasting my order I could tell it was spoiled. He was very arrogant and denied it when I asked for another type.Sad to say I will be going to the store on Santa margarita parkway from now on. read more

This is so sad. I met Carlos the other day and he is such a nice guy. I have been to this Golden Spoon for years and I can already see the difference in how it looks and how it's run. Yes, Carlos is the new owner, but he is very sweet and passionate about the business. Obviously the person who wrote this horrible review is a former, disgruntled employee who is simply out for revenge. Carlos, I wish you the BEST of luck, you are such a nice guy!! read more

Nice place, great yogurt. Surprisingly busy on week night, but the line moves pretty fast. This is not a serve yourself; they are very generous with the servings though. They have a rewards card...with 8 stamps you get one free regular sized yogurt, so don't forget to ask for that and you get one stamp for each yogurt of any size - including the mini - in your order. Very comfortable and clean environment in which to stay and eat your yogurt. Ample close parking. read more

Golden Spoon - Rewards card - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Perfect way to wind down an amazing day at the beach. The staff was friendly and attentive.

I love golden spoon. I hate to say but I am usually there everyday until recently. The prices are OUTRAGEOUS. Now a mini with toppings cost me almost $7, no place is worth that amount. The only thing that is keeping me coming back here is the amazing customer service. I went in this morning and the young lady that helped me was simply wonderful. read more

I'll just cut to the chase here. There is no better yogurt than Golden Spoon. I see people griping on yelp about not being able to get the yogurt themselves such at places like Yogurtland. The servings that they give you at Golden Spoon are plentiful and let's face it, if I could serve myself at McDonalds, it wouldn't make their burgers any better. There is a quality to the yogurt at Golden Spoon that I have yet to find at any other yogurt establishment. Believe me, I have tried many. :). Always consistently good, Golden Spoon is the best! read more

Ordered my stuff, then tried to use my gift card and it wouldn't go through. The young lady said nothing was on it. I was like what. I know the person very well that bought these gift cards and I don't think she would of done that on purpose. So the young lady said maybe you have to call the number to activate it. It's happened before. Um but theirs no number to call. The only thing on the gift card was a website which seemed outdated and a QR CODE which didn't do anything either. I really hope the lady that bought these for her co workers didn't get scammed. She paid cash. My card wasn't the only one that didn't work, 3 others didn't work either. read more

Very cute place! Has a fun retro feel. I've gone several times and noticed they change the flavors regularly, which is nice (I recommend the hazelnut & chocolate gelato flavors)! The staff have always been upbeat and welcoming. Definitely a fun place to bring a friend or two :) read more

We love the yogurt but with 30 min left to be open they were out of chocolate and strawberry. They are often out of flavors before they close. Keep the core flavors stocked! read more

This place looks great since they've remodeled it. It's a huge improvement. Honestly, my only real complaint is that the yogurt isn't really my favorite out there. But for many people out there, it's the best so to each their own, right? read more
