Adding honeycomb on top of ice cream is a novel idea, but the combination is as tasty as you can imagine. It's nothing too special, if not a bit gimmicky.

This is honestly the best Honeymee in Orange County. It's in a quaint plaza with other food spots, such as a hot pot and boba spot. They also have some items on the menu that other Honeymee's don't have. The employees here are also usually friendlier than some of the other locations. However, if you don't want to talk to anyone while ordering, a kiosk is available. Personally, my favorite item is the Sweetie, which has true milk ice cream drizzled with honey. The Honeymee -- true milk ice cream with honeycomb -- is also pretty good if you're into honeycombs. My bf's favorite is the Dear Caramel, which has a caramel drizzle topped with what is reminiscent of dalgona coffee bits. The milkshakes here are also a solid choice. While I'm still sad that my favorite and closest Honeymee location in Garden Grove closed a couple of years ago, the Irvine location is pretty reliable in terms of consistency and service.

The ice cream shop is conveniently located within a busy Asian shopping complex, making it an easy stop while in the area. Since this is an established chain, I was already familiar with the quality of the ice cream, and the product itself did not disappoint. Unfortunately, the service at this particular location could use improvement. There were mistakes with both our order and the payment, which required the ice cream to be remade and the transaction to be processed again. Mistakes are understandable, but I was surprised to see an employee forcefully throw the incorrectly prepared ice cream into the trash in front of customers. The way the situation was handled came across as unnecessarily unprofessional. One feature I really appreciated was the small plate attached to the cone, which made it much easier to catch drips and avoid a mess. Overall, the ice cream was good and the location is convenient, but the service experience fell short of what I would expect from this chain.

Cute ice cream shop located in OC. The shopping center is busy so it's more of a grab and sit in your car to eat kind of spot. There is ample parking around but I could picture it filling up on a really busy night. I am glad it's open a bit later than most shops and very fast quick service. I would highly recommend the Dalgona Affogato it was very good.

Darling
Michelle C.

I've been coming to Honeymee ever since they first opened during peak COVID era, and for years the Darling was one of our go-to orders. Back then, the soft serve was incredibly creamy, rich, and had a thick consistency that made it stand out from other dessert spots. Over the past few years though, it seems like the recipe or preparation has changed. Since around 2022, the soft serve felt more diluted, with a lighter and airier texture. It's still enjoyable, but it doesn't have the same dense, creamy consistency that I remember, especially during the height of the pandemic when it seemed to be at its best. That said, the Darling is still a classic menu item, and the honey flavor remains unique. I keep coming back partly out of nostalgia and partly because there still aren't many places that offer quite the same combination. I just miss the richer, creamier version that it initially had and hope that the recipe will change for the better.

Original Soft Serve

Wanted to give Honeymee another try after being disappointed the last couple of visits. Something just feels different. I used to love coming here when this location first opened. The soft serve had great flavor and was super rich and creamy. But the last few times, something has felt off. One visit, the soft serve tasted so watered down that I could barely taste the flavor. This time, it tasted more like whipped cream than actual soft serve, both in texture and flavor. It's honestly disappointing because I came here 6-7 times when they first opened and really enjoyed it. Not sure if the recipe changed or quality has become inconsistent, but it just doesn't taste the same as I remember.

Consistently good... Came here after dinner at momo paradise, and can't complain. Got the honey ice cream with the drizzle and cornflakes, and it was creamy and perfectly sweet. Friends also got the coffee Oreo shake, and that was amazing. Coffee flavor was strong without being too artificial. Place was clean and staff were nice.

Was in the area and wanted some sweet and this place popped up. Had it before in Gardena and it's quite good and natural sweet. Good menu with great varies choices. Got couple small and it just hitted all the right place. Parking can be a hassle since it right at the exit way and abit tough to get it or you can park inside and walk over. Staff are nice and friendly. The place is clean, spacious with nice and cute decor, the vibe is chill and relax. Seating area is small but doable. Nice cute place with great quality of ice cream and good service.

Dear Caramel
Tim P.

It's been a while since I last visited a Honeymee, and this trip brought back a lot of great memories. I still love that soft, smooth, and rich milk flavor. The texture is perfectly creamy without feeling too heavy. Service was fast and efficient, and everything came out just as expected. It's the kind of place that delivers consistency, which makes it easy to come back to. Definitely a spot worth revisiting when you're craving something simple and satisfying.

Honey for sale

Came here because HeyTea didn't have either of the drinks I wanted to order and for nostalgia sake. I used to go to the one in Buena Park and my mom and I loved their sweetie ice cream. I ordered the lavender milkshake today because that used to be another favorite order of mine. My only minor complaint is that I'd have to echo another reviewer that the milkshake wasn't filled to the top of the cup which is a bummer especially since the drink is $7.45. While the flavor and consistency was still perfect, I hope they end up fixing their measurements so that we get what we paid for. Otherwise, they have a cute small interior with some limited seating. They also sell honey some there. Barely any wait so I got served my drink quickly.

I love their soft serve more than anyone else's including SomiSomi. Just getting their plain vanilla in a waffle cone with a drizzle of honey (or not) is peak confectionery perfection! The quality is impeccable and decadent. It tastes closer to actual ice cream than any other soft serve. Service is fine. Ambiance is still all right. There is a dumpling house and Ranch 99 and Kaju Tofu in the same plaza, so there's lots to tastefully enjoy!

Helen N.

Pretty good sweet treat in a pinch. I think the honey drizzle is a little gimmicky. I think if they used honey as their primary ice cream sweetener it would be more on theme.

Darling
Angeline N.

I am such a sucker for milk ice cream and it's my favorite ice cream flavor. Such a simple flavor but is so delicious when it's done well! There used to be a Honeymee near where I'm from but they closed down so I haven't had it in years. It was just as good as I remembered if not better! I got the darling which is just a plain milk ice cream. It was so amazing that I finished the entire thing and I never usually finish my ice cream because I get too full but I literally couldn't stop eating. My friends and I sat inside, it's really bright and there were a few small tables. It's right next to Heytea and the best part is that it's just as good but there's never a line!

I've been to Phin Smith several times for a while now but I wanted to take some time and thought…read moreinto my review. To be honest, I find a lot of coffee shops to taste the same and repeat a lot of the same drinks. However, Phin Smith has its own signature through-line that makes it unique. I like that all the drinks have a sort of coconut or pandan very Vietnamese and tropical undertone. I have enjoyed all of the offerings here, both coffee and matcha, but especially the Oahu Joe. I can just feel like the whole team puts in so much effort into curating the menu, writing recipes, brewing the coffee, preparing the drinks. The staff are pretty professional and helpful. I really like the location and the space. It is located in historic downtown Garden Grove which has a unique charm that is distinctive or from the rest of city. It is very spacious and a good place to get some work done, study, chat, or just relax. The interior design is Spanish-inspired and rustic which is not the most common or popular coffee shop design style so I really like how distinctive and special it is. I will be coming back to Phin Smith for years to come and I genuinely recommend coming here.

Amazing service and amazing coffee there's not much more you could ask for…read more I'd like to start by saying I have NEVER been to a coffee shop or a place of business for that matter, that allows you to try it before paying and if you don't like it, they'll make you something else. That's excellent customer service in my opinion. I would 1000% come back because of the service and the delicious coffee.
