This is one of the places I've fell in love with during my high school days. I rarely got to come to this place but I would religiously follow this place on all socials and platforms to inspire my pastry chef endeavors. These macarons are a work of art made by masters in their craft! The staff in this establishment is always so sweet and helpful when I come! The interior is one of the most beautiful sights to behold! They offer so many photo ops to capture the cute moments with you loved ones As a chef I can assure you that each and everyone of their cookies are worth it! I came on Valentines around 1pm I got three character macs And a half dozen! I regret not getting a dozen and a pin Don't be like me. get a dozen and a pin.

I remember when this used to be in a airstream trailer at The LAB @ Costa Mesa and how they have weekly different macaron's there designs and collab are always adorable and find cute! You could never go wrong with their OG Honey & Butter Macaron if this will be your first time going and trying them out. The workers are always helpful and very knowledgeable and when you ask them about allergies and what's on each macaron ingredients they are very helpful. The place when you walk it feel very kawaii and fun to take pictures! Don't miss out when you are around Irvine Spectrum a must try for dessert. Just always check there IG as they have events also :)

a cute little treat to fulfill your heart and mind, but not so much your belly (depending on how much you eat haha) you're definitely paying for the experience and cuteness, not the amount or flavor. SEASONAL FLAVOR: Strawberry Yuzu - the only flavor was yuzu, couldnt taste much of the strawberry. if you like citrus, get this. I like yuzu flavor and citrus, but it was a bit strong. 3/5 service: VERY helpful and friendly staff!! ambiance: Super cute inside, not really a spot to sit at. there's outdoor seating in this outlet. definitely a get in and get out place.

So pretty inside of bakery shop 09.27.25

Review 96/365 Day Challenge This is a long and awaited review that needs to be done! My gosh...after having these scrumptious Honey & Butter Macarons...my gosh it's like each bite is Heaven!!! Finally took my middle son here for his Birthday Month on 09.27.25 When he 1st had these scrumptious was in Spring of this year along during the holidays last year. He's been talking about it since and keeps asking when are we gonna get more macarons cookies from Honey & Butter. It's that's delicious. Love how they have weekly different flavors of macarons. Been following them on Instagram and they usually post their flavors of the week, they offer unique flavors too. Recommended ~ Milk & Honey is an original and so darn scrumptious. My son's fav flavor of all time. Tastes just like the name of the flavor. ~ Creme Brulee is always a fan favorite especially in our house hold. So yummy n the caramelized top is so yum along w the filling. Perfection. Their macarons are a great big size, really fluffy cookies and their filling isn't overly sweet. I've had their macarons a few days later and it's still as yummy as the fresh ones. Kept in fridge to keep it moist and bring it out an hour before devouring it, so it can be room temperature. The shop is so darn cute w 2 swings for cute Photos & their wall art is amazingly done. Definitely a great photo op place. Their packaging boxes when you buy 6 is really cute and makes great sweet treat gifts. Located in Irvine Spectrum outdoor shopping center that we frequently visit. We don't often go to Irvine much.

Character Macarons (Milk & Honey Panda, French Toast Cat)
Jessica C.

finally tried the iconic Honey & Butter the cutest macarons in OC and yes... they're almost too pretty to eat I got: Milk & Honey ×2 Crème Brûlée Mochi & Cream French Toast (cat) Milk & Honey (panda) the shells were perfectly crisp soft & chewy inside, and the honey buttercream makes them less sweet than typical macarons so the flavors actually stand out highlights: * Milk & Honey - their signature for a reason. light, creamy, not overpowering * Crème Brûlée - rich, custardy vibes with that caramelized sweetness * Mochi & Cream - fun texture moment!! not gonna lie -- you're definitely paying for the design + experience but the rotating flavors + Asian-inspired creativity are what keep people coming back and the character macarons?? straight up edible art. pro tip: come early because the popular designs sell out fast (and the line is real ) would I get them again? for a special treat or to impress someone -- absolutely

Pistachio Macaron
Leanne D.

I've walked by this place so many times and today I finally decided to try one! So many flavors to choose from it was hard to decide but I only wanted to buy one. I went for a more traditional flavor of pistachio since I love pistachio. This is one of the best macarons I ever tasted. A crispy shell on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside and the pistachio filling was light and creamy and sooooo yummy! The pistachio flavor actually tasted like pistachio and not artificial. I will definitely come back to try other flavors! One flavor at a time !

My go to place for whenever i'm craving macarons! I've been coming here since they first opened. Their macarons are always consistent and yummy. No other macarons can compare to Honey & Butter! They have really cute interior and cute packaging as well. Would highly recommend!

Honey & butter is one of my favorite macaron spots! Whenever I visit OC, I try to stop by before heading home. The shop is so adorable, and while the like can get long, it always moves quickly. The staff is so friendly, which makes the visit better. They switch out their flavors every week, which is exciting. But, also a little risky for me if the week's selection isn't quite my favorite. Last time before I visited, I emailed to see if they take flavor requests, and they said they'd consider it, which was so nice. I tried milk & honey, oreo, fruity pebbles, birthday cake, sea salt dark chocolate, hojicha milk tea, and strawberries & cream! The texture and flavors are consistently yummy, and I love that they're not overly sweet. Their packaging is also super cute. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in oc.

Wow !! Daughter highly recommended this place and didn't disappoint!!! Macarons were bigger than I expected! Bought a dozen of them 6 for me and 6 for my daughter! Enjoyed the flavors : Matcha & Peach Sea Salt Caramel Creme Brûlée Honey Lavender French Toast Friendly service !! Will come back for sure when in the area!!

AMBIENCE: (5/5) - Cute inside with plenty of light to showcase all the baked goods - Very clean - They have cute little stuffed animals that you can play for SERVICE: (5/5) - Greeted with a smile - The case the macarons come in are so cute! - Everyone was using gloves - Such a convenient location in Irvine Spectrum FOOD/DRINKS: (4.5/5) - S'mores (4/5): Not bad but not amazing either. Just overall solid but not much of a smoked flavor that I was hoping for that might take it to the next level. - Salted Caramel (4/5): Overly sweet which I should've known since it's caramel but that's on me. Overall good texture. - Matcha (5/5): Wow, what great matcha taste that came out. The center is just a LITTLE bit more powdery than the rest so that might be from the use of the matcha powder to give it that strong taste but did not come off as fishy as some poorer quality matcha might. - Pistachio (5/5): Classic and very strong flavor profile. - French Toast (5/5): Tasted just like french toast! And the little french toasts on it are so cute! - Fruity Pebbles (5/5): Tasted just like fruity pebbles! Reminds me of my childhood when I used to have the cereal. OVERVIEW: (5/5) - Honestly thought this place might've been overhyped but it was not! It definitely met the expectations and was better than I expected. I would come back again soon since they now have a Pandan Coconut flavor for September!

The service is always on point. I was at the spectrum today and I had a very large dinner but that could not stop me from getting macarons. I exercised restraint and only got 6. My favorite will always be the Fruity Pebbles macaron but I look forward to the special featured flavors. Today I also got yuzu and Oreo.

How do I get character macarons? every time I visited the store, they are not available for purchase. can I place an order of those character macarons for pickup? thank you.

They have special partnered events which they announce ahead of time so you know when to go (for example Saturday at 10am, but people line up early!) and those are first come first served to those who attend in person and lineup. I do believe they… Read more

Do you have a rewards program?

Yes they do. You have to spend $30 to earn a star and if you earn a certain amount of stars you get a free dozen.

Do they ship macarons?

Unfortunately no, they only do same day in-store or curbside pick up orders per their IG link. @honeyandbutter Sorry =(

When will you reopen?

The sign on their door says they'll open on the 17th.

Just curious-- how much is a dozen now?

You'll spend around $30 for a dozen, give or take if you get any of the special edition ones. But, standard ones are $2.50/ea.

Do they still have ice cream macarons?

No.

Do they have vegan options?

No. Not that I am aware of.

I skimmed through the Instagram hashtag and noticed there have been quite a few dogs posing in this place, is it dog friendly? I would love to check it out with my pup!

Irvine Spectrum itself is dog friendly but not all the food stores will allow dogs. Honey and Butter only allows service dogs in the store. If your pup is not a service dog, you'll have to ask a friend/family to hold onto your dog outside or they… Read more

I've never been to H&B and I'm planning to go sometime this Thanksgiving break. What time do you guys recommend coming here and getting in line? I want to make sure I come early enough for the character macarons.

They open at midnight on black Friday. I believe it's the best time to show up, abundance of the freshest batch of macarrons at a discounted price.

Open thanksgiving day?

they will not be open thanksgiving day but they will open at midnight on black friday

What time do they open? Yelp says 10am but the website says 11am

They open at 10 Am and their website says 10Am as well.

Do they still sell their milkshakes?

No more milkshakes available. They do have lemonades though!

Could you do Harry Potter characters? Could you email me and let me know so I can place an order ...I need it around March 19 th week

Make sure to email them and see if their bakers can do the special request. They usually reply back within 24 hours. Also, there's a mini sign at the store saying once it's past $44 for an in store purchase, you get 1 free pin. So I believe it has… Read more

Every time I'm in the OC and I'm looking for a place for a sweet treat, Maison de Croissant was…read morealways high up on the suggested search results list. Only recently was I able to visit and try their croffles and other sweets. Did NOT know that this was inside the H Mart food court in Diamond Jamboree. Parking is horrendous and the driving there is horrendous as well. Probably the easiest and least horrifying option just to automatically default to is to just park in the overflow lot right next to the plaza. There's no indicator for the parking garage so on a particularly busy day, you can head all the way to the top, find nothing and navigate through the hell crowds trying to leave. Ambiance is a very casual, counter order business in the food court. There's seating there, but we ate really close by. Definitely something you have to eat immediately or the texture will not be optimal or it might get soggy. We got the tiramisu croffle and they toasted it and put it together for us there. The lady working there packed it up nicely in a to go box and we got some cookies (regular ones and almond crisp ones). It's a bit sweet, but they're dessert pastries so that makes sense. Goes great with a brewed cup of tea. Croffle had a nice semi-chewy texture and the tiramisu flavor added a bit of a coffee taste to it. Good balance of the cream and croffle. The cookie wasn't too bad either. Overall not a bad to go dessert spot.

This bakery is located inside the H-mart. In addition to the bakery items, they have a drink menu…read moreand fresh taiyaki and croffle also. A croissant for under $3.00 is a good deal. I usually come on weekdays and parking is available. Please come and create your own adventure.
