    A tiny cup of froyo for $5.49, and flies buzzing around the toppings behind the counter? No thank you. Walk a little ways down toward Handel's and get the good stuff.

    Any visit to Golden Spoon harkens back memories of my teenage years when I used to enjoy fro-yo as a teenager. It's hard to believe this establishment has been handcrafting deliciously creamy frozen yogurt using all-natural ingredients since 1983! Kudos to Golden Spoon for withstanding the test of time. The Irvine location of Golden Spoon occupies the corner unit in the food court at Oak Tree Shopping Center. Parking in this center can be challenging during peak hours. A young teenaged girl worked the front counter when I visited with my daughter on her birthday. We ordered two 8 oz regular cups, but I think this size may be too big for one person...I'd recommend the 4 oz mini cup instead. Due to the special occasion, my daughter got to add toppings and she chose sprinkles and gummy worms (IMO gummies aren't the best toppings for ice cream or froyo because they harden and are more difficult to chew). Golden Spoon's menu is ever-changing, so I'll be curious to see if the Georgia Peach flavor is still on the menu when we visit next time!

    Golden Spoon chain is one of the OV yogurt spots. Service is quick and their yogurt is creamy and always tastes fresh. They also have plenty of toppings to choose from. Inside this location there isn't a lot of seating. Just a couple of tables. But there is plenty of seating outside in their courtyard.

    I was really wanting some chocolate soft serve only to discover their chocolate flavored one was down suddenly. I settled with their strawberry flavored frozen yoghurt with cheese cake topping. What a disappointment. It tasted like one of those artificial strawberry fluoride mouthwash you get at the dentist office. It's too bad because it looked delicious and smelled like it would taste good, too. I am not sure why the texture was also off, also. It had a gritty crystalline mouthfeel to it. The aftertaste was awful. Somehow very bitter and just ick. Giving it a 3-stars due to the otherwise friendly service I received and ample free parking. I most likely won't return in the future.

    You walk in and are transported back to the good ol' days. With red tiles, golden spoons and the sweet smell of frozen yogurt. Our service was quick and our cups were full! I'm a sucker for their peanut butter yogurt and mini Reese's pieces!

    Fun social media moment while building customer base!

    Outstanding service on a busy sunny weekend day. It was bustling but service was efficient and accurate. Their frozen yogurt is delicious. Storefront clean, bright and seating inside and out.

    Finally stopped by. Nice experience, we were greeted right away and didn't have to wait. Simple and clean shop with plenty of parking. There are also a bunch of tables outside in the plaza if you don't want to sit inside. We ordered one mini old fashioned vanilla with oreos and a regular mango/pink lemonade swirl with gummy bears. Portions are huge! I love how they put the toppings in the middle versus sprinkling it on top. Yogurt pricing is standard, especially for the portion size but I do think the toppings are pricey. Nice place to stop after lunch or dinner in the plaza!

    As a kid growing up in Huntington Beach I frequently stopped in. Now that there's one here in Irvine I was excited to bring my kids in. We each ordered the mini. It was definitely more than enough. I was surprised at the price of a topping set at $1.79. My daughters and I had cake batter and I also had vanilla. My son had pink lemonade. I can't remember what my husband choose. We all agreed it was just ok and overpriced. We don't plan on returning. UPDATE: since the owner replied to state that the $1.79 includes three toppings I will say I don't think it's states that on the menu and the employees didn't offer up that info. With how high the serving is I can't imagine getting 3. Maybe with a larger size it would work. With the store being new it would be nice if the employees stated it was for 3 toppings. I hope this places does well.

    so happy golden spoon is back in Irvine - grew up enjoying this froyo spot and we don't have to drive out to CDM for it :) the classic chocolate and old fashioned vanilla are simple and delicious. the quality of golden spoon is better than other froyo spots, and though pricey it's worth the sweet treat. workers were sweet and offered samples , and gave plenty of toppings. the mini size is perfect!

    Salted caramel

    The salted caramel yogurt is extremely well done! We ended up getting white chocolate chips, cookie dough, and cheesecake bites. It all works perfect with the salted caramel. The cashier hooked it up with extra toppings! Such a fun time. Very delicious. Oh yeah.

    We were delighted when Golden Spoon opened near us because it's my boyfriend's favorite frozen treat. We like how there's a balance of timeless favorites together with fresh seasonal choices. There's plenty of parking as well as seating outdoors (& a couple tables inside). Great spot for an afternoon or evening treat.

    Regular sized cookie butter - a must try!
    Brian Q.

    I haven't been to a Golden Spoon in ages ever since they closed the one in Cerritos years ago, so I was happy to see this new location open up near my workplace. I was torn between getting the cookie butter or coffee flavor, but the super friendly server swayed me to get the cookie butter, and this did not disappoint. It was smooth and delicious, and not overly sweet. It'd be hard for me to pick a different flavor next time, but I do want to give the rest a try. This will easily be one of my go-to spots it this area.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!…read more I haven't been to Honeymee for sooo long but I used to go and love it in LA koreatown and Sawtelle. My friend and I noticed things have changed much with Melo Melo, so we walked acrossed the street and were deciding between HeyTea and Honeymee, but we were SO GLAD we went with Honeymee to sit inside at the cute table. The lady(owner?) was so sweet and of course, my OG Honeymee was sooo GOOD. My friend's yuju drink was so refreshing and yummy, too. Honeymee will be one of my very few best dessert spots and I won't forget to come back often.

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 line wasn't too bad - since we were figuring out our strategy of which flavors to try and which flavors each of us wanted to get. There was at least 2 guys servicing us so they were pretty efficient. My friend and I both got the quad scoops, which him getting Pink Rose, White Rose, Pomegranate, & Date, while I got Cucumber, Faloodeh, Jasmine, & Saffron with Pistachio. They were incredibly generous with their scoops, the ice cream itself is the most amazing thing ever!!! All of the very unique and delicious flavor options, and the unique texture and taste of the Persian ice cream was absolutely delicious. We were just bummed out that we couldn't finish our ice creams (we shared and did our best, but absolutely could not). So we asked for a lid and attempted to bring it home, but it unfortunately spilled. Oh well, we definitely got our money's worth of the ice cream and had an incredible time here. Plaza itself was nice. Staff was great - customer service was good. 100% highly recommend and I'll definitely be back!!!

    Before our first visit here, I had never even heard of Persian ice cream, let alone how popular…read moreSaffron Rose is in LA. However, I was still more than happy to check them out when my gf suggested coming here. All of their hype and praise was certainly a big reason why, as well as me wanting to see what Persian ice cream tastes like, but, quite simply, how could I ever say "no" to trying a new ice cream shop? Especially to cap off such a warm evening out! While I can't say how this location compares to their spot in LA, I liked how low-key and unassuming this place felt. Past the counter/register, there's a small amount of seating to the back, but there's also a bunch of seats and tables right out in front. More importantly, though, their display case of ice cream is chock full of enticing options. Inspired by ingredients and flavors from around the world, Saffron Rose's roster of flavors is quite diverse. What's more, from their Mango and French Espresso to their Saffron & Pistachio and Passionfruit, they all looked equal parts unique and delicious! -- FRENCH ESPRESSO While it may not have been quite as amazing as I had hoped, this was still pretty good. Although I wish the taste of the espresso had been more robust, it still had a decent coffee flavor to it that I really liked. -- PASSIONFRUIT I got this mostly because I wanted something a bit tart and citric to balance the French Espresso and it did the trick. The passionfruit was refreshing and I liked that the taste of it wasn't overly acidic. -- SAFFRON WITH PISTACHIO Presumably their namesake flavor? Either way, this may not have been my favorite flavor, but it wasn't bad. The taste of saffron was decently strong and I liked how the pistachios in this added some texture. -- MANGO Of all of the flavors I've tried, this is easily my favorite. Not only did it feel rather refreshing (especially on such a warm night), but it also had a surprisingly strong taste of mango to it. -- POMEGRANATE Unfortunately, this was pretty disappointing. Much like when I got the passionfruit flavor, I wanted something fruity and light to offset the pistachio, but this was a little bit sharp and acidic for my liking. -- GREEN PISTACHIO I love pistachios, so I had some high hopes for this one, but it missed the mark for me. For whatever reason, the taste of pistachios didn't come across as well as it did with the other flavors and the chunks of pistachios felt surprisingly soft. -- PINK ROSE My least favorite of the bunch, but, to be fair, I'm also just not a fan of floral flavors and the rose water showed up most prominently in this one. Even though the first couple of bites were okay, the taste of the rose was too much for me after that. Regardless of the flavor, one thing I noticed about Saffron Rose's ice cream is that they're somewhat similar to gelato, but with a slightly gummier texture to them. What's more, all of the ice cream is made with rose water, which, as mentioned, I'm not a huge fan of, though it was pretty subtle in all of them except the Pink Rose. Also, I didn't care for the wafers they give you either. While I appreciate that they can complement the ice cream well (they resembled those classic cake ice cream cones), the wafers had more of a soft, semi-stale texture rather than a crisp one (unless that's they way they're supposed to be). All and all, considering how they're one of the only Persian ice cream joints around, Saffron Rose is by no means bad in any way. At the very least, their ice cream is certainly unique and even better than some of the gelatos I've had. However, as someone who prefers a more classic, creamy scoop of ice cream, I think Saffron Rose is just okay. My gf, on the other hand, is definitely a fan, so I'm sure more scoops of their Mango and French Espresso will be in my future the next time we visit when we're back in town again! THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down.

The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.
