CremeBee

They only have one restroom, but it’s very roomy and clean (which is always a PLUS!!)
The stuff here isn’t bad either, so I would come back if I’m in the area!
The location is kinda small, but It’s no big deal.
They have honey and other toppings for you if you wanna add a little more to your desert

Very similar to HoneyMe located at Rowland Heights. Ice cream was soft and sweet. They have extra honey on the side if you want to add more.

loved the idea of cotton candy on top of a ice cream!
we went on a saturday night after our dinner, drove a little extra mile for this place
the interior was very cute, with bee stuffed animal on one wall and they have wall décor
when we walked in no one was inside and it was just me and my cousins and her friend
only ones that come with cotton candy on top is cloud 9 and moonlight
love how they make things right when you order and they have complimentary honey for you to add to your ice cream if you wanted more
only thing I didnt like was their ice cream. I know its made from organic milk but it didnt have a good flavor to it
but the cotton candy was good and the cloud and moon shaped marshmallow was unique too
they give you a little wipe and a plate to out your cotton candy
tip: grab a small piece of cotton candy and eat it with ice cream makes it taste little better
parking is street parking only that i saw

PROS:
Honey at the condiments table
Cotton candy and diff add-​in
Cute décor
Lights in front that shines on the floor «Crème Bee.»
CONS:
Yogurt ice cream didn’t taste good
They swirl around the cup and makes the middle hollow.
Paying almost 6 bucks for a half empty cup.
Honey Mee wins for the flavor of the soft serve and honey!

Decided to check this place after having lunch nearby. This place is basically a not so great copycat of Honeymee.
I just ordered the regular CremeBee, and it wasn’t that great. The ice cream itself isn’t very sweet or creamy. And the honey had no floral notes or flavor to it. When the two bland flavors are eaten together, a weird flavor is produced. Overall, for a dessert, it was neither sweet nor good. And its quite pricey!
They have other items that include some cotton candy on top. I think that’s just gimmicky for people who want cool pictures. Or maybe the cotton candy adds some sweetness to the whole thing.
The server wasn’t the friendliest person either. Overall, I won’t be coming back. Honeymee tastes so much better.

High Hopes and Loathsome Lows
Everyone knows I like free stuff. Who doesn’t? I get out of bed in the morning thinking of ways to receive free stuff for that day, then I go to sleep at night dreaming about what I got then I wake up and it all repeats. I received a gift card from @HangryDiary, who is a beast of an Instagrammer, for CremeBee. Going into anything that’s free I typically lower my expectations because it’s FREE! Beggars can’t be choosers right?
In this case, I just didn’t get it. Conceptually I don’t know if the flavor combinations fit with each other or if the yogurt just doesn’t have enough flavor. Something was definitely missing. I’m just not sure what it is but needless to say, both my «Cloud 9» with cotton candy and «The Bee» with fresh honeycomb ended up at the bottom of the trashcan.
Oh well… on to the next.
Why did the bee get married? Because he found his honey.

Minimal shop with honeycomb décor; we were the only customers for most of our visit on a 49-​degree Wednesday night, although I assume on weekday afternoons it’s packed, what with Alhambra High across the street. The menu offers from the most plain — soft serve organic milk yogurt drizzled with raw/​organic honey — to toppings like honeycomb and cereal, to a concoction topped with a large puff of freshly-​made blue cotton candy, to one covered with various chocolatey stuff.
We weren’t hungry for more than the basic yogurt; I was pleased that there’s a bottle of honey out by the spoons and napkins and the worker suggested I use as much as I wanted, because more honey is better. Obviously.
The serving is a bit deceptive; much like Disneyland’s beloved Dole Whips, the inner part of the carefully-​piled swirl is hollow. That was fine. I liked the yogurt, which was creamy, and the honey is a nice additive, although it hardens from the cold and become a bit difficult to eat, as evidenced by my sticky chin and the already-​sticky table. Overall, did I love it? Nah. Am I glad I tried it, especially since I’m never in K-​town to make it to Honeymee? Yes.

I just love this place!!! Too bad it’s a bit far from where I live.
***** Better than Honeymee ******
Their ice cream is very milky.
You get to add your own honey.
I’m just a fan for COTTON CANDY
Nice, neat, well organized for an ice cream shop.
I don’t even know how they stay in business for such a great quality n quantity.

Very cute and great presentation but just tastes ok.
this is one of those dessert places that draw in customer because the instagram pictures and the hype bring you in but to be honest i thought everything here was just ok!
I did enjoy the one with ferrero roche but i wish it had a little more chocolate or hazelnut flavor.
the cotton candy didn’t really add to the ice cream, it was just super sweet but nothing special imo

Thought it was a cute place and definitely a poor mans version of HoneyMee.
Aside from that I thought the ice cream could have been a bit more ice cream like and not like yogurt.
Service wasn’t bad although I felt like one server gave more than the other.
Unlimited honey though!!! Also they have a 10% off Unilocal check in!

My friend sent me a link to this place a while back, and I had forgotten about CremeBee. One Saturday evening while another friend was stuck in traffic, I decided to venture around Alhambra and stumbled upon here.
Round one, I got the signature bee and didn’t mind it too much. The portion was a bit bigger than HoneyMee, at least for the cost. And I didn’t get too much of that weird waxy plastic film from the honeycomb. I did noticed that the yogurt itself was a bit more icy than what I’m used to, but the texture didn’t bother me too much.
Round two, my friends finally made it to Alhambra, and after dinner. we were debating about getting something, and decided on the server’s suggestion, which was the volcano. For one thing, I didn’t notice any honey within the yogurt; if there was some, I think the chocolate may have overpowered everything. Again, the texture didn’t bug me too much; however, my friend did noticed this, saying that the texture is like the soft serve is more like something you would get at a buffet, and HoneyMee is more creamy like McDonalds.
It’s not a bad place to try out; beats getting something from Blockhead, IMHO.

Who would have known that ice cream and honey would work? I came here during their soft opening and I’m glad that I got the opportunity to try this place.
I purchased their Cloud 9 combination (that’s the one with the blue cotton candy) and I thought the combination was extremely sweet. It was obviously visually appealing, but I probably wouldn’t get this combo again.
After putting all the cotton candy aside, the ice cream itself with the honey drizzle was alright. It was also nice to know that CremeBee offers free honey on the side of the ice cream parlor.
My partner got ‘The Bee’ and I thought it was a lot better than the Cloud 9. Though the honeycomb was also really sweet, the honeycomb had an interesting texture and it was a new thing for me.
I would probably come here again if I were in the area, but I wouldn’t really go out of my way to come here.

This is such a cute little place located on main st. alhambra. With cute displays of raw honey in a jar. The menu is simple. Service is ok. She didn’t greet or anything. I asked for a spoon and she did not give a smile or anything. Looked like she was mad.
I got the cloud 9 to try for the first time. Comes with this cute blue color cotton candy on top. the little clouds on the cotton were marshmallow! Sooo Cute! The yogurt was bland in my opinion and i decided to put some honey on top. Wow the honey was sooo good! tasted very light.
My friend got the volcano to try. It has ferrero chocolate on top with chocolate syrup drizzle and coco rice crisps. My friend also said that the ice cream/​yogurt was bland.

[-1] This place is only really good for your Instagram pictures! So beware! The ice cream here is NOT good and it makes me so sad because I think the execution is super cute and they have great ideas, but the ice cream is just so bland (I did try it before eating the cotton candy just in case it was a sweet issue clash)… I got the Cloud 9 (gigantic blue cotton candy on top of your ice cream!) and my sister and friends got the other kind with the honey. They didn’t like their ice cream either… and they were kinda loud about it… hee hee hee!
[+1] The cotton candy was good and they had a lot of different choices. Inside décor was also cute and bubbly. The music choice was sooooo funny though. Music was all about thug life and trashy music (which I love btw) and the décor was white with stuffed animals, hahah.
[-1] Service was super slow although the workers were super nice and were pretty generous with the ice cream even though I did end up not finishing it since it wasn’t great.
[-1] The hours are super weird too. They opened at like 1:30 or something. We tried to come earlier but it was closed! Why would you open so late on a super hot day?! That’s when people try to come to the store to cool off! It was just so confusing hahah.

I had visited cremebee during their soft opening and remembered I regret buying two cups of ice cream because it wasn’t that great. The concept and idea of a different flavor then just honey and organic milk ice cream and the added cuteness of the freshly made cotton candy is a true gimmick to get customers in. Honestly, this second visit will be my absolute last.
I had somewhere to go this evening and was done with dinner early. So decided I’d give this place a second try to see if it has changed in any way or if maybe its because the first time I ordered too much and probably was just overwhelmed ordering more then one.
This visit, I ordered ‘the bee’. Organic milk soft serve ice cream with drizzled honey & a honeycomb. The staff was very generous with the ice cream (more then what honeymee would ever give in a cup) and I also liked how there was a bottle of honey on the outside in case you wanted more. But just one bite reminded me how this cup doesn’t even come close to how good honeymee is. I felt the ice cream was very flavorless where I think buying ice cream in the freezer isle is probably ten times better. You really need the extra honey because the sweetness of it helps you consume the cup that’s given. Unfortunately by the end of my cup I felt entirely sick. So sadly I will not be returning or would I recommend this place to anyone. Honeymee may be more expensive and you get less for your buck, but the taste is hands down way better then cremebee.

OK, CAN I BE THE ONLY ONE TO DISCOVER THIS SCIENTIFIC FINDING PLEASE?
MY HYPOTHESIS:
many people found this inedible because the taste was not good. BUT I hypothesize that people who found it this way was due to the cotton candy. You know when you eat something SUPER SUPER sweet like cotton candy (which is basically 100% sugar) and then you eat something not as sweet then it becomes tasteless? This is a common pattern I detected amongst the reviews.
**TIP** remove the cotton candy after taking your instagram pic (nudge nudge I know most of you came for that…) and then eat the soft serve with the honey and whatever they have on it BEFORE the cotton candy. That way your taste bud won’t be ruined by the sweetness.
Cloud 9 ($ 5.75): blue raspberry flavored cotton candy floating above the soft serve ice cream swirled with their RAW & ORGANIC (oooooh the ‘O’ word!) honey and marshmallows as clouds gracefully resting upon the cotton candy. Removed the cotton candy and ate the soft serve with honey. Delicious! AND instagram worthy
Customer service was on point and there was about 4 – 6 tables in the restaurant.
The self serve area had napkins, spoon, water, and a bottle of honey in case you have an extreme sweet tooth like me ;D

This place is similar to Honeybee! There’s a wider selection of toppings here though.
Last time I came, I got the Cloud 9 and a Honeybee.
Both are basically the same except the Cloud 9 has a large cotton candy on top. The base is always the frozen yogurt. The frozen yogurt itself is pretty sweet and when you add the honey it’s even more sweet. Personally, I really like sweets a lot so it was delicious & I finished the whole thing! My friend said it was too sweet for her so this is all preference. I guess you can tell them to add less honey or put it on the side and add it according to your own tastes.
Ambiance — it’s very clean, white & cute. The way the menu is placed is super cute, like a honey comb. The décor and seating is all white and it’s pretty hipster looking. Good amount of seating!
Workers — Young and friendly! Shoutout to my friend Ashley :’)
10% off if you check in!

The ambiance is a cute, simple, and neat. I came around 5pm and it was pretty empty.
I ordered the Cremebee which is just the ice cream drizzled in raw honey. I like the honey; it’s sweet enough. And it’s awesome that if you want more, you can add more yourself at the little bar. However, the ice cream itself isn’t as creamy as I would imagine it. I think the texture and creaminess of the soft serve at HoneyMee can’t be beat.
However, I really like how they have such cute and neat desserts aside from the typical CremeBee and the Bee. Definitely liking the variety.

I’d have to agree with other reviewers — the presentation was so cute and Instagram-​worthy, but unfortunately the taste didn’t match the visuals. It definitely was not as bad as I anticipated (after reading a few of the reviews) but I would have to say Honeymee definitely is the superior milk soft serve.
We ordered the Cloud 9 and the Moonlight, like everyone else, and we couldn’t finish either one of them. It got to be a little too sweet halfway through.
+Cute and photogenic!
+Parking is easy
+Price was reasonable, $ 6 ish
–Taste was unmemorable, a little bland without the honey
–Better alternatives in the area like Blockheads, etc.
–No music playing or anything, kind of an awkward environment (maybe just the time I went?)
–Little to no return factor. It was a try-​once kind of place and that’s it.

Decided to seek out some local soft-​serve offerings in Alhambra over the Labor Day weekend, leading me to CreamBee to experience my first honeycomb ice cream.
The small storefront is nestled near the corner of Main and 2^nd street across from Jim’s Burger. The tiny shop is charming and yellow/​white color scheme compliments the space well. It’s very reflective of their honey and ice cream concept-​theme; done tastefully.
For $ 4.50, ordered the «the bee», soft served ice cream spiral drizzled with honey and cratered with a huge chunk of honeycomb on the side. Visually, I have to admit the shimmering jewels of honeycomb crack makes the soft serve ice cream impressively luscious and decadent. I shoved a heaping scoop in my mouth and was delighted by the pooh bear inspired treat. Great creamy soft-​served and sweet honey flavor. The brittle honeycomb was a joy to nibble on. The wafer like texture and sweet chewiness had me speechless for minute. As I continued my assault, I realized the swirl of honey syrup wasn’t throughout the entire ice cream. The lack of sweetness from the ice cream base left an empty taste in my mouth momentarily. Its independence was truly not satisfying enough. Fortunately, they had bottle of honey on hand at counter to keep the party going in my mouth.
All in all, my visit to CreamBee was both rewarding and delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The perfect way to end the final days of summer. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying the cloud aka cotton candy ice cream.
