Last night I visited Golden Spoon for the first time and I'm definitely coming back. Everything was super good and fresh. I asked the young girl working at the counter to surprise me, since I don't get ice cream often, and she was actually amazing; I have to avoid nuts at all costs and she took the time to go over everything with me, double-check stuff, and make sure I was good. She was super patient and didn't make it awkward at all, which I really appreciated. She made my whole experience better bc I didn't have to stress about what I was getting. read more

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! read more

Golden Spoon - It's delicious! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

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. read more

Amazing Service edible cookie dough is Neyha was so professional super sweet and helpful with the flavors. We had tons of samples and ordered a lot of ice cream. Highly recommend this place. read more

Really liking the updated options for fro yo in the neighborhood. I am especially happy that they added a non dairy option, I only wish it would switch flavors more. To be fair I have only been in there over the past two months and its been pink lemonade the whole time. Its overly sweet but non dairy beggars cant be choosers so I will still get it. Hoping to find a new option in the future. The place looks clean and organized and the people working there do a good job. Tip: be sure to tell them in advance if you are taking it to go to get the lid on properly. read more

Amazing froyo! This is the first yogurt shop I've come to that had flavors that were perfect. There were a few flavors but they were amazing. The yogurt isn't too sweet, but just right. P.S. the worker there is quite lovely! So polite. read more

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. read more

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!) read more

Great service from Andy, menu was confusing but he explained everything very well, couldn't even believe him when he said it was his first week. read more

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. read more

The staff were super sweet! Not a bad experience but was hoping for something more than a basic soft serve. There's lots of Toppings which is nice. I ordered the chocolate gelato and not bad. I've never been to a golden spoon before so was hoping for it to be different than other places when it comes to soft serve. I would come back for something quick and simple! read more

i would give it a 0 stars if i could. what an absolute joke of a golden spoon. your not able to use your rewards at this location which is just straight greedy. they barely have any flavors like most locations which have a ton. and there staff is awful so insanely rude. came in with our baby niece and we're treated like crap will never be back ever read more

Really cute place, service was really friendly, the amount of frozen yogurt they serve in the Medium cup was way more than expected making the price very reasonable. Overall a 8/10 experience. read more

Terrible Customer Service - Never Going Back When you take your kids out for ice cream the idea is generally quality time together, a little joy, and a sweet treat. What we got last Friday was a combative, unhelpful server with such bad people skills that my four year old was nearly in tears and my 9-year-old was so uncomfortable that we left early. Everything was what she couldn't do. Zero helpfulness. A waste of $20. read more

Love this place! I'm a local and have been coming here for a few months...was here a few days ago and it was packed! The portions and sizes are huge.. most places overcharge and still give you a lot less. Costumer service is lovely, the beautiful young lady with the big curly hair absolutely makes my day every time I walk in! I highly recommend on a hot day if you're looking for a sweet treat and a nice smile! read more

So it's sad cause I have been to this location a few times and sometimes it's good but today around 2:45 it was disappointing. The young lady behind the counter was lacking in customer service. The yogurt was so soft you couldn't even eat it before it melted. The machines were disgusting, you could see the build up and crusted on yogurt. I almost didn't get anything. And sadly what I did get was a big disappointment. Only reason I gave it 2 stars was because it was good before otherwise it would be getting only 1 read more

Service here is terrible!! I would give no stars if I could. Before they finished making my ice cream, I cancelled my order and my wife just got hers. Manager CHOO walked in and instead of taking mine away, he would not give my money back and charged me for my ice cream. My wife and I had an emergency and had to leave and they would not accommodate us. She is pregnant and we told manager CHOO that she was allergic to one of the toppings and he still insisted on charging us full price. This is completely unacceptable and unlawful. I will never go back to this place and don't recommended anyone else does either. SMH And to respond to the owner, we DID mention allergies and the pregnancy and they did nothing about it BTW. Also, the food was NOT CONSUMED EITHER so we do not appreciate your staff lying about our behalf or you doing that either. I also have a picture and was recording the entire time to also prove you are lying about it being consumed and that we did mention the pregnancy. Would you like me to post that? Since this can also not be found posted anywhere in your location and once again, payment was not completed and food was not consumed, Also we DID specify we had an allergy because of my PREGNANT WIFE..., this seems a little discriminatory for calling her a liar also. We will be taking the proper legal measures going forward. You'll be hearing from us soon read more

Crazy yummy stuff. Topping were PILED on and they even gave us a cup of extra cookie dough to take. Huge servings. Great to grab and then wander around Corona del Mar with. Not the type of place you sit and eat, better to grab and then walk around the beach with. read more

Me and my gf both noticed our ice cream flavors tasted flavorless. Like no flavor at all! Topping portions were great but pricing was ridiculous, two smalls for $16 with no clarification of the topping prices. Better to go to Salt n straw or somewhere a little nicer at that point! read more

Just popped into my neighborhood Golden Spoon and the guy made the most perfect, large pour I've ever seen. Looked like it belonged in a Golden Spoon commercial. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

We were hesitant to come here as their online reviews were not great. We decided to give it a try as we were passing by. We had a great experience. We came in on a Thur at 4:30 pm and the young man behind the counter was very pleasant, polite and helpful. My son liked his ice cream & toppings as well. I didn't give it a 5 star as it's nothing fancy or unique but it's good old fashioned soft serve with fresh toppings served by a friendly person. We enjoyed our experience and will be back. read more

Great service and so delicious equally as beautiful wish I took a picture but dug right in I got vanilla with fresh strawberry and warm Nutella delicious!!! Loaded with toppings. read more

Usually love this place, but my favorite topping is unsalted caramel cups, and you have them mixed with raspberry for the last three months, fix this, you can do better! read more

Three stars only for the great location - I requested the Turkish coffee on the menu yesterday and the guy didn't know how to make the coffee. Had to tell him to give up after a few minutes- need training much anyone? read more

Grew up going here all the time after swim practices or summer camp. It always feels nostalgic when I pass by and I stopped in last week for a treat and it is still just as good as it has always been! I see they now have cookie dough, so I may try that next time. Make sure to grab a punch card because you will be back again and again read more

The milkshakes are my favorite and the service is always the best. I love this place! I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are around the area. I ordered a customized milkshake, chocolate vanilla swirl with Oreo mixed in and it's the BEST!! read more

I have been coming to this Golden Spoon FOREVER! I now live across the street and have been a regular customer at this store. Today Clarissa helped my mom, godmother and myself with our Clarissa helped me out today and not only did she greet us with a big smile when we entered but gave me a rundown on the flavors. I can tell you the difference between this store a year ago and today was a world of difference! Friendly, flavors and fun vibes. read more

Golden Spoon - a hand with a peace sign - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

Man this place is up and then it's down. Unfortunately tonight it was a down. Long line. Only one poor guy working behind the counter. No support and inside it's super hot- the ac is not pumping at all. Here is my biggest gripe: they are super reserved in their yogurt servings. You know how at pink berry they stack the yogurt so it goes above the brim of the cup by at least 3 inches? Here, the yogurt doesn't event go above the cup brim. It's below it. No big beautiful swirl presentation. It's comical. The servings are so small. You go to bacio di latte at fashion island and they CRAM so much in their cup. Not here. I was SO disappointed. This is the last time I have given this place a chance. Every time it drives me crazy how a yogurt shop could be so dysfunctional and wrong. From wait time. To air temperature. To comically small servings. It's supposed to bring joy but going to this location always makes me sad. Ditch this place and go to bacio. Bigger selection. Bigger staff. Better quality. To whomever the management is: you are paying an understaffed teenager with a plug and go setting expecting results but not supporting him or your customers with the bare minimum. Unfortunately you just lost a customer. I Can't do it anymore. read more

Golden Spoon is a solid choice for a casual and affordable ice cream. Ideally for groups or anyone looking for a taste of classic frozen yogurt Just be prepared for large portions. read more

Great local frozen yogurt spot, been a favorite for years and love my half chocolate/vanilla large with heath bar and smashed peanut butter cups. Staff are friendly and decent number of options to put together a great afternoon treat to cool off on a hot day or post dinner desert! read more

I have been a patron of this location for at least 15 years. It has gone downhill to the point where I will no longer be going here. I now see that many other reviewers share my sentiment. +1 star for taste. -1 star for ridiculously smaller portion sizes (the new small is smaller than the previous mini). -1 star for absurd price increases. -1 star for no pricing anywhere to be seen on the walls. -1star for cleanliness (the server used her bare hands to hold the cone instead of using a napkin). read more

Best frozen yogurt in the world!!! Great service and better that it's under new ownership! read more

Employees were very welcoming The ice cream was delicious and i will be coming back all the time with my girls!! read more

Used to come here all the time. Came tonight and yes there were only 4 flavors (which is sucky but that wasn't the worst of it). The kicker is that the prices were raised SO exorbitantly. The tiniest cup was $5.25 for 4oz and I got rainbow sprinkles for my son and that was another $1.50. An entire bottle of sprinkles is like $2. I totally understand supply chain and slight pricing hikes but $6.75 for a tiny 4oz chocolate vanilla swirl with sprinkles is insane. There are no prices listed anywhere in the store so when he told me $15 for 2 yogurts with sprinkles I thought I was heading things. I'll be going back to yogurtland where a yogurt with a million toppings that's way bigger is cheaper than this! read more

Golden Spoon - The most expensive yogurt I've ever had. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

Hello Golden Spoon Manager, I do not know how to direct message through yelp therefore I will be replying through here. You are welcomed to direct message me though. I have the receipts ... literally lol. I got the cookies and cream, chocolate, coffee, and vanilla flavored gelatos. Average tasting if I do say so myself. All tasted average except for vanilla like mentioned previously. I bought for my family and I to eat at the beach (@coronadelmar) which is 4 mins away. So unfortunately it was only till then that we tasted the gelatos. As we had been in the car for 2 hrs since we don't live close at all. Believe me or not as you wish. All we wanted to do is to settle down at the beach. To which I thought of driving back after with the melted vanilla (aka rancid tasting gelato) but the $6 or so dollars wasn't worth it for me. With 2.5 stars seems like I'm not the only one who wasn't satisfied with this place ;) read more
