Honeymee Gardena

I love Honeymee! Been coming to this location since it opened and the service has always been great!
They always have orders done quick and correct! The only thing I would say is that they often leave a void at the top of the milkshake. Sometimes they leave a finger space and a half empty:/ give me all my drink!!! Lol
Overall though, it’s different from typical ice cream, it has a nice subtle honey taste which makes the ice cream taste more like sweet milk as opposed to your average vanilla. Everything here is good, so can’t go wrong with anything. It’s also affordable in my opinion. But my favorites include green tea milkshake, cookies n cream milkshake and the honeymee!

I’ve only tried their iced tea with honey and cinnamon stick. I’m on a white-​sugar cleanse at the moment.
The tea is quite refreshing. At first, the honey taste was a bit empowering and reminded me of this homemade medicine my Korean mother used to force me to eat when I had a sore throat. But the taste gradually grew on me. So much so that I went back the next day and got it.
Give it a try when you want a drink as opposed to a cold treat.
Their other desserts are great too. I’ve had Honeymee Ktown location and I’m sure it tastes up to standard.

I love the taste of the original honeymee. I’m not a sweets type of girl but I do like this place. It’s vanilla flavored yogurt with a price of a real honeycomb. ALSO TRIED THE ONE WITH A SHOT OF ESPRESSO. THAT WAS GOOD TOO.

The next gen of frozen yogurt. Froyo is definitely played out but this place puts a new spin on a tired old dessert by adding fresh honey and optional honey cube as topping. Goes really well together. Only drawback is the portions are very small for the price. Hence the 3 stars. Wish they increase the size is the cups.

Strawberry milkshake — *** light taste
Sea salt caramel milkshake — **** sweet and flavorful, recommend
Honey hot tea — *** average taste

Honestly, with this type of place (ice cream/​froyo type of establishment) it’s more about the product than it is about the ambiance, décor, etc so I’ll just get straight to it.
1. Pricey — almost $ 5 for the tiniest cup of soft serve drizzled with honey.
2. Taste — I love milk ice cream. It’s got a very mildly sweet taste to it that’s not artificial or heavy. It tastes creamier than froyo but not as dehydrating as ice cream is (you know, how you need water/​milk after eating at Coldstones). The honey drizzled on top added to the flavor, which I like.
I would advise against getting the soft serve that includes the piece of honeycomb (unless you’re just eating for the insta — then by all means go for it). I got it the first time I went to Honeymee and didn’t know how to eat the honeycomb. Obviously, it’s waxy and inedible so, just don’t. It gets in the way of the ice cream and just acts as an inconvenience.
Honestly, it’s just too pricey for what it is. I could achieve a very similar taste by getting milk soft serve/​ice cream somewhere else for way cheaper and going home to drizzle the ice cream with store bought honey.

Simply can’t resist the charm of real honey. This is GOOD!
Well now the not-​so-​comfortable part for some people. Please remember all real honey cost higher. If you want some affordable yogurt place then this is not the place for you and don’t leave negative feedback. I’m more than happy to support real honey products because they are good for the environment and for us.

Layover of 12 hours so decided to pop in and give it a try. Pleasantly delicious and refreshing I got the green tea milkshake and the honey «sweetie» ice cream which was their signature. Honey tasted very local and had a pop of natural flavor to the ice cream. All in all I would definitely come back to try some other flavors next time I’m in town!
Small but quaint atmosphere but has pretty loud partyish music playing and it was like 10pm. Could do with some classy coffee shop music but not too bad.

«Soft Swerve» it up! After grabbing dinner at Boiling Point next door, I needed something sweet.
Honeybee is known for their milky soft serve ice cream and honey. Besides their ice cream, they also sell milkshakes. They ice cream is already very creamy and sweet compared to regular vanilla soft serve at McDonald’s or Costco. Sometimes, getting the Sweetie which is adding swirls of honey on top is way too sweet for my liking.
My favorite is the Dear, which can have the option of Dark Gharadelli chocolate or caramel on top. It’s a nice offset to the sweetness of the soft serve. Or The Honeymee which is a chunk of honeycomb and ice cream is a good option too.
Price range is around $ 3-​$ 5.
I recommend it!

Wow, why did I wait so long to come here.
This ice cream is perfect — the honey infusion delivers the right amount of sweetness.
I had the cookies and cream shake and I was very impressed. Others had various other ice cream and enjoyed them all.
I don’t get to Gardena often, so finding this was a little tricky for me– it is on the backside of a shopping center. Interesting design as the entire location faces the parking lot not the street — so yes, it is there.
Just plain good!
Now I have to go to the other locations.

Darling, Sweetie, Dear, Honey, Honeymee, Babee.
Call it whatever you like, it’s yummy in the tummy!
I’d say Honeymee is pretty well-​known now and have been popping up in other cities. Although if a friend hasn’t been to one, I’m one to encourage them to try it at least once. It’s pretty darn good and a quick pick-​me-​up!
After grubbing at an AYCE KBBQ, my friend Raymond R. and I decided to head over here since he’s never been. Little did I know, he’d do something to embarrass me! How dare he try to take someone’s jacket off a chair (being reserved) and turn it in to the cashier for «Lost & Found.» Oops, did I just say that and put him on blast?!! :P Funnier part though, the lady who owned the jacket was such a Bee! Clearly it was an honest mistake because it was really busy that night. If only she can read this, I’d tell her to Buzz off! (Yes, we apologized.)
Anyways, enough with that.
I happened to come back the next night (05.19.16) and the staff were amazing! Donovan has got to be my favorite worker from this location. He’s super chill and gives great recommendations. I like how he easily engages in conversations with the guests. Go to him if you have questions.
So far, I like getting the Sweetie and the Honey Affogato. For the milkshakes, I suggest trying the Sea Salt Caramel, Green Tea and the Coffee. They only use instant coffee and I personally think it’s strong similar to a Vietnamese coffee. If you’re an avid coffee drinker, definitely try it. As for first timers, they do give samples. Sweetie is a must try.
–1 star for parking.

LOVE LOVE LOVE HONEYMEE! I’ve also tried the one in koreatown which is as good as this spot in Gardena. You can never go wrong with soft serve ice cream and better yet which a hint of sweetness from the honey! YUM YUM YUM

Honey goodness! Thanks to Smitcha B. for the recommendation after we had dinner in the same plaza. I’m a fatty foodie and after dinner, I am always up for good dessert!
Honeymee…I had the Honeymee Dear ice cream which was so sweet and good. I should have gotten larger cup but I am glad I ordered the normal size. It was so good. The caramel was awesome, the ice cream had a hint of honey (soooo good) and the sea salt was so perfectly salty that it did not overpower the ice cream. My buddy had the Green Tea honey milk shake which was good as well.
A very popular spot for yummy dessert with honey!

Pictures of people getting Honeymee flooded my newsfeed last summer, but I wasn’t about to make a trip to LA or Orange County just to get it, so I was happy that there was one opening up in Gardena.
I got the Honeymee, which had the milk ice cream with honeycomb chip. The ice cream was more like soft serve but still good. It wasn’t too sweet. I wish I had gotten the Sweetie instead because there was more honey. I didn’t think there was enough honey for the whole cup of ice cream with just the chip. I actually really liked the honey; you could tell it was of high quality and not artificial and contrasted very well with the milk ice cream.
Definitely will be back to try some of the other stuff on the menu!

Dessert is a must! I had seen posts about this place on various social media sites so eventually I became curious. It’s been one of my bookmarks for awhile so I was overly excited to try it when I was in LA.
The soft serve yogurt was so smooth and delicious topped with honey and various other choices of toppings, yum!!!
We tried the one with Ghirardelli chocolate and caramel. Omg!!! So good!
Milkshakes! We tried the peach shake and it was full of flavor!
I wish we had one near us I want more!

Honey Affogato– must get.
It’s their regular vanilla ice cream drizzled with honey and drenched in coffee. SO BOMB. That alone would be five stars.
This place is tiny, so line set up is terrible. The line extends to where you pick up your sweets and it’s just crowded. The guy who took our order was nice, but the staff seemed unorganized/​confused. Like the correct orders weren’t going out or whatever. My boyfriend went to go pick up our order and he got the Dear, which was fine, but mine looked like vanilla with just honey– bc it was! I told him that def doesn’t look like what I ordered– and it wasn’t. They went and made it right away, but yeah, not sure what all the confusion was.
Other than that, loved the honey Affogato and will def stop by more often when we eat in that plaza.

Wondering what the rave is about this establishment that serves quality ingredients that is also good for you. Whhhhhaaatt??? A dessert that provides health benefits!!! The concept intrigued my curiosity.
Honeymee Gardena is located on the northeast corner of Western and Redondo Beach in the Tozai Plaza, which is predominantly comprised of restaurants. Parking can be challenging during peak dining hours that you might have to drive around the lot several times. Also, when you do find a spot, the parking spaces are compact that you might not be able to get out of your car. Be careful not to ding the neighboring car.
The restaurant has several indoor table seating with narrow aisles. Also, since some of the tables are large, you might have to share your table with people not in your party. Be courteous and share. There are also limited number of outdoor seating available with more space and stool seating along the glass window.
We scoured the menu displayed on 3 flat screen TVs above the ordering counter of what we wanted. Decisions, decisions… Their menu consist of tea (hot or iced) with honey, shakes, and ice cream in a cup. The ice cream on a sweet bun or waffle cone is available for an nominal cost.
The attendant was friendly and cheerful in recommending the Sweetie ice cream, milk ice cream topped with 100% all natural honey/​cube of honeycomb. It seemed to plain for us so we opted for something else on the menu.
My daughter and I chose to share the Dear ice cream instead. The Dear ice cream is made up of milk ice cream, Ghirardelli chocolate sauce with sea salt from France with the alternative option of Ghirardelli caramel syrup. I requested to have both chocolate and caramel. Who says you can’t have the best of both worlds? The ice cream, about ¾ of a cup, was accompanied by a sample spoon that looked more like a mini plastic shovel. The ice cream was smooth and the chocolate and caramel give it the kick. Unfortunately, I did not taste the sea salt.
Is this what real ice cream is supposed to taste like? There was no colors or artificial flavoring. It was delicious and smooth ! Other non edible products are also available for sale along the left wall. I am glad my curiosity has been satisfied.

$ 5 for the honeymee ice cream cone… I think that’s what it’s called. The one with the little cube of honey comb!
We passed by this place on the way to dinner, and I made a mental note to try this place out for dessert. Luckily, we still had space for dessert. We shared a cone (even though the boo wanted his own. pft). It was pretty good. The soft serve tasted like fresh milk, and the honey gave it a nice sweetness. The honeycomb was a little messy to eat since we were trying to share, but good either way.
Why not 4 or 5 stars? This place was good, I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it. I would definitely give the other treats a try though!

My newest addiction!
I’m not a huge fan of honey, but something about this dessert really hits the spot for me. It’s like the saying, «less is more.» It’s such a simple concept as well as light and refreshing. I like the iciness of the ice cream and the honey adds a little extra sweetness.
If you’re a newbie, I suggest the Sweetie. It’s pure and simple– ice cream with honey drizzle.

Absolutely Delicious!
We stopped by after having lunch at Kotohira Restaurant. I’ve been wanting to try Honeymee in Ktown but never got the chance to. Anyways, I ordered the sweetie (~$ 4.50) with lots of honey on top. The guys working there were very nice and helpful. If you decide to eat in the store, then you can get as much honey as you’d like. hehe. The first bite was so fresh and yummyyyy. It can get a little gross after eating so much of it… haha I didn’t really share much of it. fat lyfe.
There’s tons of parking but I’m sure it can get crowded, especially during peak hours. It’s in the same plaza as plenty of other restaurants, so save room for this as dessert!
