Honeymee

I like the brand and everything about it, I do NOT like this location. We typically go to the location on Main and Harvard and they have no problem splitting our milkshakes into two cups. I’m slightly lactose so I can’t have a full one and my friend and I like to «split the calories»
This location just told me, «we can give you an extra cup». I know that sounds really petty but I just don’t understand why they can’t split it for us.
Otherwise, the product is good. The cookies and cream milkshake is perfectly creamy without being too sweet. The sea salt caramel is a bit too much caramel for my taste but who seriously complains about too much caramel? Strawberry is also really good. The ice cream with the honey is a tad too sweet for me so I usually order plain. The afogato is also a great option if you’re looking for something to cut out the sweetness.
Go to the one on Main/​Harvard instead. It’s a bigger location and the workers are much more accommodating!

The green tea milkshake is very creamy & smooth, but not too thick. Rich in flavor! It’s quite pricey at $ 5.00, but there’s a 10% off Happy Hour (Mon through Thurs, 3 – 7 PM) deal going on at the moment. Their ice cream is alright & it’s something I would recommend trying once to see what it’s like, but I highly suggest the green tea milkshake. Would come back to get this again!

I’ve tried the one in K-​twn, and the one in Irvine. My first impression with the soft serve ice cream was, «Eh, it’s OK…» when I ordered it upon my friend’s recommendation at the Kiosk in K-​town. Then when I visited the store front Honeymee in Irvine, I ordered their milk shake and I was blown away!

I ordered the Pineapple milk shake, and it was really tasty and fresh. It almost tasted like piña colada, but creamier and thicker, of course. The ingredients were fresh, not canned, and bursting with the fruit flavor option you happen to make your milk shake with. They have many combinations to choose from, and it so happens I like pineapple that balanced out the slight sweetness of the ice cream.
Customer Service: 4
Friendly and quick. Just a bit sloppy with the servings, because the edge of the cup gets a few drippings of the honey or ice cream, leaving you with sticky fingers.
Décor: 4
Limited seating, maybe 2 tables the most and a very small counter, but clean and crisp décor. Provides a little history lesson of Honeymee hanging on one of its walls, and they also sell beewax products, too.
Final Verdict: 4
Definitely looking forward to my next milkshake and will be prepared with wet-​naps, too.

I’ve got one word for ya for this place: messy.
I’ve seen this place all over my Instagram feed so I finally decided to stop by and grab some dessert after dinner.
I ordered the Honeymee (soft serve true milk ice cream with a honeycomb chip and drizzle). For $ 4.75, I was expecting this ice cream to be out of this world. I was disappointed because the ice cream was a good level of sweet, but it tasted like soft serve I could’ve gotten at any other soft serve store. This place is unique because they use real honeycombs, but the honey drizzle was overbearingly sweet! I couldn’t get over how sweet it was. The dessert itself was also messy! I had trouble keeping the honey off my hands because it kept spilling off the rim and down my cup. If you like your desserts incredibly sweet, then this place is for you.
Overall, it’s too hyped up. It’s great for pictures for your social media needs, but it’s not something I would crave if I’m trying to go somewhere for dessert.

I had the sweetie ice cream which is a nice milky vanilla ice cream drizzled with honey. The taste and quality of the ice cream is really good. It’s a good creamy milky taste and the consistency of the ice cream is also nice.
They have other items like tea, milk shakes, and other ice creams and I’d like to try their milk shakes next time.
They have a rewards card and a pretty simple to read menu. The orders come out pretty fast and the service is friendly.
Pretty good ice cream, it’s a good stop when I’m in that area and have a sweet tooth.

If you’re a dessert fanatic, but don’t like desserts that are overly sweet, then Honeymee is your sweet spot.
This little dessert place is located in the chaotic plaza of Jeffrey and Walnut. But once you safely navigate your way around the parking lot and find a parking spot, it’ll all be worth it. When you enter the shop, there are cute decorations on the right hand side boasting of honey soap and body products. But they’re only displays, don’t touch. So I don’t know if they actually sell those products… but back to the desserts. You’ll notice that they don’t have too much on their menu. That’s because they like to keep it simple, just like the their ice cream. You can get just the vanilla ice cream, or mix it up with some honey.
My first time here, I got the Honeymee which is the vanilla ice cream with a honeycomb chip on it. I really like the texture and flavor of the vanilla ice cream. While the honeycomb chip stuck on the side was interesting and new, it was also very messy and sticky. It made enjoying my ice cream hard as I was trying to make sure the honey didn’t drip all over the sides. If you like the ice cream with a bit of sweetness, I suggest opting for the Sweetie instead which has the honey swirled into it instead of stuck on top.
I also tried the Cookies & Cream milkshake and I think it’s my new favorite milkshake. I’ve tried severals shakes from several places. And while they were all good, they were also thick and heavy and more often than not, too sweet. Honeymee’s milkshake is made with their vanilla ice cream which is not heavy or too sweet, but just right. It’s my new shake addiction place.

DEEEEEEEEEELISH!!!
I’ve always wanted to try Honeymee and with one down the street from me, I had no excuse not to try sooner than later. So I came in around an hour before closing. This place is small as hell inside. Thank god it was myself and two young ladies seated enjoying their desserts. If I saw a line, I wouldn’t want to deal: p So I kept it simple and after I left, I wish I got the honey me with chocolate syrup rather the honey, but I’m a newbie so I tend to order what places are known for. So I ordered the Honeymee in a cup with honey and the honeycomb. I asked for it to go but I don’t remember if she didn’t hear me or they don’t have take out packaging. This shit made a messy drive that’s for sure. I also got a waffle cone on the side. Got home and put it in a bowl since I had honey all over my hands.
So got comfy on the couch and started spooning and wow this is so good. Not like my typical soft serve of anything. Not froyo, ice cream or custard to me. It’s in a league of its own. People hate hard on the pricing but this is not your daily basis kinda spot. So don’t worry about spending 5 coins if it’s once in awhile. Also people complain about the size too. This is a quality over quantity type place for me. Us Americans get so used to Texas size servings that when you see something smaller than usual, you feel ripped off LOL. If it tastes one of a kind and I’m fulfilled in the end, I’m not mad about the portion.

I can’t wait to come back to try their other items especially their drinks: D

We had a honey affogato: ice cream with honey and coffee.
It is a soft ice cream, i. e. never frozen.
very good! Honey is pure.
will definitely go back!

Had Honeymee for the first time last night to satisfy a craving for something sweet !
If you’re a fan of honey and creamy ice cream– I think this place fits the bill! They use real honeycombs in their desserts and it tastes authentic. The ice cream is all very rich and creamy. You can’t go wrong with any of the items. I had the affogato which was so good! It had swirls of honey with coffee poured over their delectable ice cream. It hit the spot & the cup it came in was just the right size.
The price is not too bad either for the quality you’re getting. I would love to come back and try all their other goods. The service here was super speedy and they were quite welcoming.
On Unilocal though, the address is misleading– for me it was, at least. It’s right behind the gas station so as soon as you see the gas station just pull into it and you’ll see it is right smack in the middle of the building across the way!

Sister and I came to this Irvine location when we couldn’t wait for the Westminster location to open. Located inside the busy plaza where the 99 Ranch Market is. There’s many different restaurants in here and on a Sunday afternoon, the plaza was packed! It’s located closer to the gas station though.
What we got:
Sweetie ($ 4.25): we didn’t want to share even though we ended up getting the same thing… and it’s a good thing we didn’t! Serving is on the smaller side, but we loved it! Ice cream part was cream-​y and tasted refreshing. Honey was drizzled on top and around the cup so it was pretty sticky too. It wasn’t as sweet as I was thinking it was going to be though so that was a good thing!
Service:
We were the only ones in there at the time so our order was made quickly. Tables are a little sticky from when other people sat at the tables. It’s a pretty small place so I wouldn’t recommend for big groups of people to come to stay and eat in there. Don’t forget the stamp card!

My girlfriend first noticed this place one day when we were coming home and just got off the 5. She always wanted to try it but it was always out of the way or she wasn’t in the mood for sweets at the time. Flash forward to now, we’ve been here AT LEAST 4 times and it’s a great place to check out when we’re in the area to get some food or groceries at Ranch 99.
The space for this establishment is pretty dinky but fortunately it’s a dessert place with a pretty limited menu. Here’s a breakdown of the items we’ve tried so far:
Sweetie (⁴⁄₅): Who would have thought a simple combo of plain soft serve drizzled with some honey on top would be so surprisingly delicious! There’s no fancy breakdown of flavors or stages that come out as the ice cream melts in your mouth, it just works!
Honey Hot Tea (⁵⁄₅): Out of the two honey teas, this one right here is THE one I’ll go for 100% of the time, especially if you’re feeling under the weather. The honey helps sooth your throat even if you’re not coughing up a storm and the taste of honey isn’t overwhelming. I’d usually opt for black tea anything but this time, at least for this place, I’ll always get the green tea.
Honey Iced Tea (⁴⁄₅): Not sure what to say here… I can’t tell if the ice ruined the goodness of what I described for the Hot Tea, or the whole cinnamon stick just ruined the whole experience for me.
Cookies & Cream Milkshake (³⁄₅): My initial reaction to this was «Awesome! I love Cookies & Cream and I love me some ice cream, I’LL LOVE THIS MILKSHAKE!» Things were great the first several sips but then I felt like the cream taste was overwhelming and ruined the rest of my sweet tooth addiction.

Small spot off of Jeffery by 99 ranch market!
Service:
— really friendly and fast service! It was empty when we walked in, but within 5 minutes they had a line out the door. The workers quickly sent all the orders out and it looked like they all knew what they were doing
Food:
Sweetie (name of soft serve)
— if you’re lactose I probably would recommend you come here hahah. Everything is made out of milk and they have a generous variety of milkshakes and their signature soft serve with honey on top. Haven’t yet tried other things on the menu, but I am sure they are just as good!
Overall:
Recommend! Great little dessert spot with fast service!

Honeymee is easy to overlook if you’re just passing through this plaza. It’s located on the Ranch 99 side right next to the 76 gas station. Parking in this plaza sucks so plan ahead for that.
AMBIANCE
Super cute store with honey-​pot-​shaped candles and other cute displays. Very clean. There’s basically no seating so you’ll probably have to take your ice cream to-​go. It doesn’t seem like that many people hang out to eat here anyways.
FOOD
The ice cream is not worth it at all. $ 5 for a teeny tiny cup of ice cream drizzled with stuff? Rip off. Yes, the portion size is actually good because the ice cream is a bit heavier than regular ice cream and I ate it in 2 separate sittings, but the price does not justify the portion.
I ordered the ‘Dear’ which has chocolate sauce and sea salt on top. Supposedly it’s Ghiradelli chocolate but I don’t think it is because it tastes cheap. It reminds me of a McDonald’s soft serve, but I’d rather have the McDonald’s.
I also tried the ‘Sweetie’ which has honey swirled in, but it’s nothing special. Honestly, if I had to choose, I would get the Sweetie over the Dear, just because I didn’t really like the chocolate.
The ‘true milk’ ice cream is super light and barely has any flavor, which is good if you don’t like super sweet ice cream or are a boring person.
SERVICE
The ice cream comes out quicker than the milkshakes. I took a long time to decide and the girl at the counter was getting impatient, probably because she had some milkshakes to make.
OVERALL
I won’t come here again on my own accord, just because the ice cream is nothing special and not worth the price.

A friend mentioned fresh honey and vanilla ice cream is the new hype in LA, so I had to give this place a try.
Food:
I ordered the original, which is vanilla ice cream and a small chunk of fresh honey.
The dessert was a perfect way to end the evening. The vanilla was smooth and tasty, and the honey was amazing.
Side Notes
Ambiance:
It’s a very small place, so I’d recommend grabbing your dessert to go.
Service:
The person who made my dessert did an absolute amazing job. It was seriously picture perfect.
Overall:
I will definitely come back. Give this place a try!

Honeymee’s ice cream is good and the honeycomb is such a unique touch but it is WAY overpriced… $ 1.25 for a honeycomb the size of a quarter? I don’t know if its THAT good. My boyfriend got the affogato and enjoyed but again… teeny-​tiny.
I would reccomend you try Honeymee if you’ve never had the chance to but I won’t be a regular here especially with so many other ice cream places in the OC that also offer honey as an ice cream topping for much le$$.

I love the simple milk, creamy ice cream.
I don’t particularly like the honeycomb– I always end up with some pieces of it in my mouth. But I appreciate that they have the liquid honey (Sweetie) option! I’ve yet to try any of the flavored ice creams… And I doubt I ever will.
This place is tiny so don’t expect to lounge around here with a friend. Also, prices are a bit steep for plain milk ice cream. but it’s also like the price of a boba drink! So it’s all subjective I guess.

HoneyMee serves soft serve ice cream and milkshakes that are freshly made with milk and topped with 100% raw honey and honeycombs. The concept is simple and they are passionate about promoting positive health benefits such as increasing levels of antioxidants and healthy digestive tracts. The idea sounds great, but sometimes too simple can also mean that it is not so good and only A-​OK.
What I’ve tried:
Honey Mee — ice cream that is made from true milk and topped with a honeycomb. Not bad and it won’t really wow your taste buds.
Sweetie — true milk ice cream that is swirled with honey. You get more share of your honey here, but then you think about how you can just make this at home.
***NOTE: About $ 4.25 for a small cup of ice cream. So don’t be fooled by the pictures!
If you are a Happy Bee person yourself then stop on by at HoneyMee for your own tasting and filling. Maybe it will make a happier you by indulging in this treat!
AS ALWAYS, NOM FOR LIFE!

FAVORITES: AFFOGATO & SWEETIE
Pure milk ice cream soft serve and real honey (complete with the honey comb) has been rampant around Asia and SoCal and has finally made its way to Irvine.
HONEYMEE ($ 4.25): True milk ice cream with a little drizzle of honey topped with a honey comb. The honey comb is super waxy and there is not enough honey throughout the soft serve!
SWEETIE ($ 4.25): The honey is drizzled all throughout and is present in every single bite. I definitely preferred this over the honeymee! The liquid natural honey is a lot thicker than the honey you would buy in the grocery store but is a really great contrast in texture and consistency compared to the light and smooth soft serve.
+ AFFOGATO ($ 4.25): This was my absolute favorite! The soft serve is accompanied with honey and espresso. The honey taste here was not too strong, so I actually took a scoop from the Sweetie and dipped into the espresso of the affogato to get more of that honey taste. Everyone talks about the honey soft serves, but I think the affogato really wins here!
The True Milk has a real taste of local milk from a certified Kosher dairy factory, which is probably why you see that this soft serve is more expensive than other soft serve places. I am slightly lactose intolerant and usually get upset stomach after eating ice cream, but surprisingly after eating three different kinds of soft serve in one sitting, I was completely fine! I stand by the quality of their milk soft serve!
This location is very small with one table inside with bar seats and a couple tables outside. This is definitely a grab-​and-​go place.

From the first time I heard of Honeymee I knew it was right up my alley! I’ve always loved vanilla soft serve (I never get chocolate) and I love honey!
I’ve been wanting to try Honeymee for quite some time. Basically ever since I started seeing constant photo posts & check-​ins on Unilocal and Facebook. But until recently, there wasn’t a location close by and I really hate driving into LA unless absolutely necessary.
Finally they’ve started to expand the chain into south OC!!! This location is in the 99 Ranch plaza off Jeffrey and Walnut. And I just learned today from my sister that they now also have a 2^nd location in Irvine, off Harvard and Main.
The menu is small — there are only 7 items to choose from although among those items, you can add toppings for an additional charge. Since it was my first time, I decided to stick with something basic and chose the Honeymee which is simply true milk ice cream topped with a little honey and a honeycomb chip. I really loved munching on the honeycomb and the ice cream is quite good… creamy & milky. But I love honey and wish it had more of it, so next time I think I’ll get the Sweetie which is similar to the Honeymee but has honey swirled into the soft serve. The trade off though is that it doesn’t come with the honeycomb chip so I’ll have to see if I can pay extra for that.
Be forewarned that the cups are really small. But because honey can get rather rich if you eat too much, the petite size is actually perfect. The price is on the high side however at $ 4.25 for the Sweetie and $ 4.75 for the Honeymee.

The Archies said it best -«Sugar, sugar, honey, honey. You are my candy girl. And you got me wanting you!!!»
I know, I know… HONEY and ICE CREAM sounds like diabetes waiting to happen. BUT, believe it or not, it wasn’ that sweet. How can this be?
ICE CREAM: Very wholesome and natural tasting with no additives! That’s why they call it «true milk.» Made from California milk from a family-​owned, certified Kosher dairy factory. It’s smooth and soft serve like ice cream. YumO!
HONEY: they use 100% pure and natural honey, also from a local certified bee farm. AWESOME. Honey comb is a bit wax like and can get stuck in your teeth.
HONEYMEE ($ 4.75) FOR ME! It was the best of both worlds. Honeycomb chip w/​true milk ice cream. I’d say scoop some ice cream and scrape a bit of honey and WHALA., heaven in your mouth. Oh, I got a waffle cone on top to share w/​my kiddos. Crisp, fresh and smelled so good.
TID BITS:
1) Located in a very busy Irvine plaza with 99 Ranch, Tapioca Express and Sam Woo! Parking can be challenging.
2) Small shop with only a few stool seating inside
3) «Bee» products on sale in store. Very cute to peruse through.
HONEYMEE is a keeper in my eyes :)
