First time here! I came here for this Sweetie. I heard how good this place was, and so I spontaneously wanted to give it a try since I live very close to this place. The honey and ice cream was sooo delicious! I couldn't stop eating it until it was a gone. The lines was confusing because it has a busy line for HeyTea and then there was a line out the door for Honeymee, but no idea why it took so long just to order. I went inside and notice people were kinda chilling near the kiosk, so others outside waiting really have no idea that people inside were holding up the line. I suggest staff try to monitor this, to promote sales if customers are going to be making it a issue of letting other customers from ordering. I was almost discouraged to wait in line for ice cream, but glad I had walked in and talked to staff and she helped me right away. It was busy inside. Staff that helped me right away was so sweet and made me happy when I got my treat immediately. That was great first time experience and I will be inviting my friends to come here with me. read more

I like the ice cream here. It's surprisingly good for a chain. I would say it's close to soft serve. I think their honey comb ice cream was way too sweet and I could probably only eat half. I did end up finding a surprisingly good flavor though which is the passionfruit. A good mixture of tart, texture, sour that goes with the soft serve was nice. I don't think I'm ever going to get the honey comb one though. read more

I am a honeymee fiend. Specifically for their milkshakes. The flavors of the milkshake hit spot on. The strawberry shake tastes exactly like strawberry ice cream, and cookies and cream tastes like an Oreo McFlurry. Though the milkshakes are very sweet, they have a delicious taste and interesting texture that distinguishes honeymee from other restaurants that sell fraud shakes. Honeymee finds the perfect balance between milk, ice, and flavor. I aspire to try every single milkshake flavor by the end of the year. They don't call me the honeymee milkshake man for no reason. read more

It's a really cute dessert place from the decor to the soft serve ice cream. I got the honeymee I enjoyed the milk flavor and the taste reminds me of Costco's soft serve. The honey itself was a nice hint of sweetness, the honeycomb was a bit much haha. 8/10 with honey! Without honey 9/10! The Dear Chocolate was a rich and darker chocolate drizzle bitter sweet type topped off with sea salt. 6.5/10. My husband enjoyed it though. I would definitely try out other new flavors they had like grape or passion fruit! And the matcha darling!! They are welcoming and friendly! read more

Small and quick dessert spot! Matcha affogato: 7.9/10. YUMMY! Super sweet so definitely only for people who have a sweet tooth. Milk soft serve with matcha tea and honey drizzle. Could definitely do without the honey drizzle, but the matcha flavor is very intense which balances out the sweetness a little bit. The affogato isn't too hot, so the soft serve doesn't melt right away. Perfect sweet treat for sweets lovers! read more

Was craving some ice cream and came across this cute soft serve spot! I decided to try one of their new menu items, the Chestnut Shake. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to expectations--the drink looked nothing like the photo, missing the drizzle around the cup, and the shake itself was much lighter in color. The texture was very melty and on the sweeter side, but the flavor was decent. Presentation: 3/10. Taste: 5/10. Employee was friendly and order came out quickly. There is also a kiosk by the register to order from as well! read more

My go-to spot for when I'm wanting something sweet and simple. The ice cream here doesn't feel as heavy as other places, and I love the little honeycomb they add on top. My favorite thing to get is actually the milkshakes (matcha and chocolate!). They're pretty small and cost a little more, but they're such a good pick-me-up at the end of the day. Interior is pretty small, limited seating. Service is usually quick and you can be out of there within a couple minutes of ordering. read more

Honeymee has one of my favorite desserts of all time. I order the matcha affogato with boba and it is a perfect 10/10 for me. The richness of the ice cream, she earthiness of the matcha, the sweetness of the honey and the perfect chew from the boba all tie into the perfect combination for me This location of Honeymee in particular doesn't have the friendliest customer service, but I do go for the sweets and not the atmosphere so it's fine either way. Honeymee has multiple locations throughout LA so give it a try! read more

HoneyMee is easily one of the best ice cream spots I've tried! Their ice cream is made from fresh milk, and you can really taste the difference -- it's smooth, rich, and not overly heavy. I walked in and was helped right away. The staff was so nice and helpful, especially since I couldn't decide what to order -- they gave great recommendations that did not disappoint. They have a great variety of options, from classic soft serve to milkshakes. I ordered the honey affogato and it was AMAZING -- the combination of coffee and honey sweetness was perfectly balanced. Not too bitter, not too sweet... just right.I also tried my son's Oreo milkshake and wow, it was so good -- creamy, indulgent, and packed with flavor. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm craving something sweet! read more

The ice cream is a nice sort of sweetness that reminds you of McDonald's but flavored in a more savory manner. I really enjoyed it for its taste and texture as well as the little honeycomb they give you. I got served pretty quick upon ordering so I guess they're pretty easy to dispense so a line won't be an issue for you. Service wise it's only a self checkout sort of deal and they have all staff working on fulfillment so don't expect great customer service. The shop was pretty clean and tidy and the decor was super cute, only downside was the lack of seating inside but it was nice to take a walk around the plaza with the ice cream. Value wise it's pretty pricy too though for just soft serve so keep that in mind. I would recommend it! read more

This spot has always been a staple soft serve place for me, but this time I tried getting it to go. I have always been worried that the soft serve would melt during transport, but they pack the cup in a styrofoam container filled with ice, and my soft serve was still the perfect texture after the 20 minute drive home! The one thing I would recommend, but I'm not sure if they can do, is to get the honey on the side and pour it on right before you eat it, as it gets hardened when cooled for a long time. read more

I've been wanting to visit Honeymee for over a year now, and am happy to report that the experience actually exceeded my expectations!! The Peach Milkshake actually tasted like real peaches, and the milkiness was really kind of there but not too sweet or overpowering. The Sweetie ice cream with true milk and sourced honeycomb was truly delicious, and I love how the honey kind of hardened a bit, but not too much, because of the cold ice cream. The honey definitely tasted very high-quality, and there are lots of health properties to consuming honey, so it's awesome!! The staff were super friendly and nice and I really appreciated their gentle and uplifting hospitality... the ambiance was really clean and orderly, and the decor was mostly white-themed, I guess to match the milk theme!! I will definitely be back again to try more of the super awesome creations on their menu and see what my favorites are!! read more

I haven't had a Honeymee in so long and we decided to stop by while we're in California. I remember it tasting better years ago. The ice cream was quite bland. It honestly is just plain ice cream - not vanilla. The unique part is the honey and it's just a honeycomb on top so only the tip of the ice cream tastes like honey. If you're craving honey like ice cream, find a place that serves Australian ice cream with the Hokey Pokey flavor. read more

The Honeymee honeycomb ice cream texture was similar to the smooth soft-serve ice cream served at McDonald's. It wasn't unique, just creamy and honey-flavored; and the honey flavor was mild and not super-sweet. I liked the flavor of the drizzled honey on top of the ice cream. The shop was clean, with limited interior seating. So, the ice cream was melting pretty quickly outside the shop since it was around 80F. Despite being busy with a large group of people ahead of me, the counter staff was attentive and courteous - thank you very much to them for good customer service. read more

As a matcha lover, this place is a dream! I've been coming to Honeymee multiple times for their matcha soft serve, and it's consistently amazing. The flavor is perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just the right hint of sweetness--and the texture is so creamy and smooth. It's everything I look for in a great soft serve. I usually get it to-go, and I'm impressed with how thoughtfully they pack it. They place the soft serve cup in a larger styrofoam container surrounded by ice, with a secure cover on the cup itself. Even with my 15-minute drive home, it stays perfectly intact without melting. I've also tried it with honey on top, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're taking it to-go--the honey hardens by the time you get home and feels unnecessary since the soft serve is already perfectly sweet on its own. The restaurant itself is quite small, with just a few tables and chairs, so it's not the best spot to hang out for a while. However, if you're looking for amazing matcha soft serve, this is definitely the place to go! read more

Parking can get a little tight in the free parking lot, but we didn't have too much trouble on Sunday afternoon. The interior was very cute and pretty with flowers. They also sell mochi donuts -- this looks like a rebrand Bober Tea shop that's known for their "stir fried" boba. The brown sugar boba in our drinks tasted like the super soft and flavorful boba. My husband and I really loved the boba. But at 100% sweet, the drink was wayyy too sweet that we had to dilute it with water. Next time I would get half sweet. It had a very nice black tea flavor that shone through which is unique from other boba shops.

The person who made the drink did whole milk and not oatmilk. Guess whhhaatttt, yea my sister is throwing up like crazy in the bathroom and we genuinely had to go to the ER BECAUSE THEY DIDNT PUT OATMILK. Mind you it was an extra charge up for the milk substitute. They apologized and gave a refund, but seriously... DO NOT COME HERE if you have allergies, they lied straight to our face and didn't bother to own up to it (lying and saying it wasn't on the receipt when I saw with my own two eyes that it was). My sister is in recovery. But could have been completely avoided if they had simply given us the correct order. Mind you now there's hospital costs to be dealt with because we had to rush her to the closest hospital. I'm genuinely so mad about this everyone going here please be careful if you have allergies.

I'm so happy I don't have to trek all the way to LA's Japanese Village to try Honeymee--this Irvine location is just as great! It's in a super busy plaza, so parking can be a bit of a challenge (same as the LA spot), but honestly, it's worth it for dessert, right? You might have to circle a few times, but there's usually parking not too far away, so no big deal. Now, let's talk about the ice cream, delicious doesn't even begin to cover it. They've got some really tasty flavors, including vegan options, and the texture is smooth and creamy. I tried the matcha Honey with strawberry, and I'm telling you, it's so good, like I could eat it every day. The honeycomb on top is a total game changer, and the honey, when it chills, gets this chewy texture that's just amazing. My daughter went for the yuzu flavor (I think?)--it's like vanilla and honey, and she loved it too! All in all, this place is a win for anyone who loves good ice cream, honey, or just a fun spot to hang out with friends. It's a little on the loud side, but that's part of the vibe, and you can still enjoy your treat and a chat. Definitely coming back for more! read more

I tried Honeymee for the first time and got the Honeymee soft serve with matcha and strawberry. Let me just say--it was absolutely worth it! The matcha on top tasted incredibly fresh and creamy, and the addition of honey was a total game changer. I've never had honey with soft serve before, and it added such a nice sweetness that really elevated the dessert. The soft serve itself was silky, smooth, and packed with flavor. We added strawberry at the bottom, and I loved that it included actual chunks of fresh strawberry--it was such a nice touch. I will say the portion is on the smaller side for the price (about $7-$8), but the quality is outstanding, so it feels worth it for a treat. The only downside is the location--it's in a very busy plaza, so parking might be tricky. Overall, Honeymee is a great spot to stop by if you're craving a high-quality dessert. I'll definitely be back! read more

Honeymee is simply amazing! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a cozy and inviting atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for enjoying their delicious treats. The soft serve ice cream is incredibly creamy and pairs perfectly with the rich honey drizzled on top. It's the ideal balance of sweetness, and the honey adds a natural flavor that's just out of this world. Whether you're in the mood for ice cream, frozen yogurt, or a refreshing tea, Honeymee has something that will satisfy your cravings. Highly recommend giving this place a try you won't be disappointed! read more

Honeymee has some really good soft serve at a pretty reasonable price! I tried both the honeycomb and chocolate flavors. Both were tasty, and the soft serve itself was smooth and creamy. The honeycomb one had a nice touch of sweetness, and I liked the edible honeycomb that came with it. I just wish the honey was more evenly layered instead of mostly sitting on top. The chocolate wasn't anything mind-blowing, but it was still enjoyable. Overall, a solid spot for soft serve that doesn't feel overpriced! read more

I tried Honeymee twice. First time, I got the sea salt caramel milkshake which was small for the price, but very tasty! I enjoyed the sea salt crunches. Second time, I got the Sweetie, which is milk ice cream with honey drizzled on it. Again, the portion sizes are quite small for what they charge. The honey was above average but there was nothing special about the milk ice cream. I would recommend adding more honey (they charge extra) to the milk ice cream to mask the blandness of the ice cream. read more

Yummy! I love this place! I decided to take my kids when I heard they were opening. My kids had the Sweetie and I had the coffee milkshake. The soft serve had a wonderful rich milk flavor and the honey was amazing. Now on to the milkshake. I didn't expect the honey to make such a difference in the flavor. But it did, and it was so good. I'm definitely coming back to try the other flavor milkshakes especially during this heat. read more

I had the honey affogatto ice cream. The ice cream is very good because it's not very sweet but has a very good texture. The espresso was not good.

I ended up sampling every single flavor, but ended up getting a scoop of Thai Tea After Dark (I know it's not a Filipino flavor per se but it was so good!) I tried the Sans Rival and it really tasted like the dessert! The cashew really came through. The Guava Sampaguita was really fruity and flavorful! It was also a bit floral, which isn't always my favorite flavor, but it was well balanced here. The Taho tasted EXACTLY like Taho! I could actually taste the tofu. Wild! The arnibal was really sweet, just like it is in real taho. I didn't think I could eat an entire scoop of it cuz it was pretty sweet and the texture wasn't as creamy/smooth since it's a sherbet and not an ice cream. Sapin Sapin was great and I could taste all three flavors! And the Iskrambol really surprised me. I didn't think I would like it but the milky banana flavor really came through. I liked that the banana flavor was real and not artificial. I actually considered getting this as a scoop cuz it was so yummy. Ultimately, I got a scoop of Thai Tea After Dark and it was my favorite of the bunch. The thai tea flavor was strong and punchy and was balanced well with the dark chocolate. I LOVED tasting the subtle black tea flavor (lapsang souchong) in the chocolate ice cream. A really good flavor! Thanks Wanderlust for celebrating FAHM!

Located in a nondescript strip mall, the interior is just large enough for a small line to form. You'll likely take your sweet treat home or you'll find a seat at one of the few outside tables. There are about 4 window seats inside but that's it. For my first visit here, I ordered their Vietnamese Rocky Road(contains brownie bites, marshmallows, and walnuts, combined with Vietnamese coffee and sweetened condensed milk). This combination tasted like it sounds and it was solid, but not spectacular. They do have some other interesting, non-traditional flavors here you wouldn't see at Baskin-Robbins. Staff looks to be mostly college students and they did the job well enough.

I Came in to buy some Sonny angels originally but then realized I had some rewards to use for my next purchase. While I was waiting in line, a customer went straight to the cashier and got tended. I loudly asked the staff behind the register where did the line begin and they pointed out right where I was standing. I said "then why isn't she in the back?" One of the employees looked at me and said "ohhh..." then continued to ignore me and continued to tend the customer. I let it go since I was two people away. Once it's my turn to get two my yummy cream puffs, I expressed I had rewards and wanted to use them (I chose the in-person option). The cashier told me I could only use them online through the app. Mind you I was using the app in fact. She then called another employee (youngster Asian girl) and they seemed confused and unsure on what to do. They kept telling me I could only use my rewards online so I asked "then why did it ask me to choose to use them in person or online?" I could see one the young girl manually waiving it and they charged me. I let it go. Once I finished my desert, I decided I wanted to buy one more trinket so I got in line again and got tended to pay. As I was saying thank you, the young Asian girl, rudely tells me to use the online reward option on the app next time that way she doesn't have to deal with all of that and doesn't contradict the managers rules. She says she doesn't know how to app works but to use it online regardless so I don't make it harder on them. I got pretty upset and disappointed at this statement as I shouldn't be told what to do if I am being asked options on the app itself. This is something Beard papas should be improving and training their employees on when team meetings happen. Not tell customers in a very unprofessional and rude way on what to do. Yikes

The Food: We got the Ube Cashew Brownie and the Jasmine calamansi iced tea. The former is like a traditional brownie but instead of chocolate it's made of ube (purple yam), which was moist, sweet but not too sweet, and absolutely delicious. All that goodness was balanced by the cashews. The Jasmine Calamansi Iced Tea, which as the name connotes, combines Jasmine tea and Calamansi (an Asian citrus) juice. I'm not big on either but itself, but together this drink made for a refreshing drink. The Service: Everyone who works there is top notch: fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. The Setting: It's located in the Tustin District, which has one of the worst engineered parking lots in Southern California. Firstly, the ingresses and egresses snarl traffic like crazy. Secondly, there are no parking structures, so it's tough to find a good spot up close during peak hours. The Interior: The cafe itself is narrow so there's not a ton of space to hangout I'd you're with a big crowd. It's nicely decorated and relatively clean, though the trash can was hard to find and filled to the brim. Plus, there weren't a ton of napkins. The Price: I would have given this place a perfect 5 out of 5 were it not for the higher-than-normal prices and the horrific parking situation. The Conclusion: Cafe 86 is our go-to spot when we have a sugar craving and don't mind paying a little bit more to get Filipino-inspired dessert.

This place felt dangerously close to being at Five Guys Burger restaurant, the decor, the whole vibe that was attached to it. We basically had to stand in line like a fast food chain, like Burger King or McDonald's, and ordered ice cream. But the setup was and looked like five guys burgers. The overall experience here at Handel's Homemade Ice Cream shop in Irvine, California was about 10-15 minutes. My group of 5 each got something and I ended up with a pint of their chocolate ice cream. It was a part of my birthday dinner celebration on a weekend in September 2026. Thankful that my purchase was paid for by family. It was around 8pm when we walked in on a Saturday night. There was no visible chairs and tables to sit on so we ended up eating it on the way to the car. I myself ended up eating my pint of ice cream back in my hotel room later that evening while enjoying late night tv. And at Handel's Ice cream shop, it was nice. There were a bunch of high school kids working that night and it was nice to see all of them working professionally and being responsible and respectful. It was honestly cool that there's some good in the world these days. I enjoyed that aspect of this experience and got in ice cream for my birthday celebration. The overall experience and atmosphere of Handel's Homemade Ice Cream in Irvine, California was nice and casual, while being very much expedient and enjoyable as the same time. While there weren't any tables inside the ice cream shop, there was limited seating outside the store, but they were occupied at the time I was there. The restaurant was kind of standing room only, so there was a bunch of people already in line when my group came in to check out the scene. For the most part though, it was nice to have an ice cream shop nearby to complete the birthday dinner ensemble after a ramen dinner with family. Ice cream is always a good choice for anyone and everyone especially children. If you're in the Irvine area and love to grab your ice cream fix, consider coming to Handel's homemade ice cream shop and tell them your favorite flavors. They just might have yours in stock. I was happy that they had my classic chocolate readily available and there's a few chocolate inspired creations as well. Really nice and definitely recommended and even suggested if you're in the Irvine area and want a good dessert to end the work day or weekend evening. Or ice cream just because. Made my trip to Irvine worth it for sure. Handel's Ice cream shop is located in Irvine, California. It's physically located at 5365 Alton Parkway in the heart of Irvine. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. For myself though, it was paid for by my family because it was my birthday treat and it was great. So that's that. As far as parking goes, there's generous parking options here if you are interested and love to drive. If you're the type who loves public transportation, consider taking the necessary transportation options to get you to here in Irvine and then to Handel's Ice Cream shop. It's in a cozy part of the shopping center destination. Kinda funny how there's an ice cream shop here and a McDonald's next door. Maybe I guess McDonald's ice cream doesn't compare to Handel's and it's homemade ice cream and it's many flavors to choose from. And so, consider yourself informed that Handel's homemade ice cream shop is good for your soul. If you're ever in the Irvine area and need your ice cream daily fix, consider coming over to this part of Irvine and get in what you need the most. I guarantee it. One of the better ones I've had in a while. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

A torrential rain had suddenly started. There is no seating inside and nothing outside was covered (except designated areas for specific eateries) so I dashed for my car. Being in a plaza, I was parked a distance away, and as I ran, both me and my gelato were getting soaked. Luckily I had extra napkins in my car because the gelato was running over the sides of the cup by the time I climbed inside. Both scoops were very creamy in texture. Both had good flavor, though on the mild side. I like my gelato flavors to be a bit more bold but I did enjoy both of my scoops. A little rain...or even a lot...won't stop me from going out for some gelato.

There's always a long line, I waited about an hour til I got into the shop where you/your group are the only ones inside the store at a time. It makes the experience feel really intimate; The worker provides samples to each person upon flavor requests and elaborately explains the flavor profiles. He (the worker) was super knowledgeable about the flavors, the gelato craft process, and knows how to connect with people well! The store almost feels like an art installation. The interior was warmly lit, completely minimal, making the experience completely focus on the gelato. I got two flavors, the Lychee gelato and Phoenix Oolong, and apparently is the most popular flavor duo! The lychee has a light, fruity taste with a hint of tanginess, similar to that of yakult. The phoenix oolong had a much deeper, roasty flavor that accurately replicates milk tea. I also got to sample the gyokuro matcha flavor and it was very strong. It's a very accurate and quality flavor, but was a bit heavier and the matcha leaves an astringent mouthfeel which gets you palette fatigue after a few spoons. The gelato was super smooth, fluffy, and tastes super clean. I loved it and would come back, even with the wait!

Kokonut's desserts strike the perfect balance--not overly sweet, and with the toasted coconut topping creates a well balanced texture, making them suitable even for friends who aren't big on sweets. Despite my enjoyment of Kokonut's offerings, my review stands at 4 stars due to the limited flavor selection compared to what's advertised on their website. I was disappointed to find that flavors like green tea and taro were unavailable at this location. However, options like black sesame, coffee, mango, and original still provided a delightful culinary experience.
