Honeymee Sawtelle

Oh. My. God. It’s creamy, it’s smooth, it’s delicious, it’s… it’s… it’s… My favorite ice cream so far. And the nice man serving me told me about his dog back home and how much he liked ice cream. I think we’d get on — I can picture us now running around the field, chasing balls and then stopping for some ice cream. Num num in my furry tum!

I came here and waited in line only to get to front for them to tell me the ice cream maker was broken…
95% of your products are ice cream and you have no backup if your ice cream maker goes down? And why couldn’t you post that on a sign or at least tell me before I waited the whole time in line?
What a poorly run business.

I came here to see what the rave was all about from my friends.
I’ve tried their sweetie and Honeymee frozen yogurt and honey green tea. It was delicious. Their frozen yogurt is milk based topped with honey packed into a small cup. The serving size in my opinion is perfect. Not too small because the frozen treat is dense and packed into the cup.
Verdict: it’s made of deliciousness so it’s a definite stop when I want a frozen treat

Yum. Shared the Dear Chocolate with a friend (ate at one of the Tsujita’s right before). The ice cream was so creamy and smooth. The temperature was perfect so the texture was equally perfect.
These were quite small though for the price but would love to try some of their other flavors when I’m not completely full and stuffed. There is a $ 5 minimum to use credit cards, which is not so convenient when the majority of their items are slightly under $ 5.
One of my friends ended up buying a Honeymee mug which is heavy and pretty high quality!

I’ve had honeymee several times, and boy is the ice cream so darn good! Everyone should at least give it a taste even if they are not ice cream lovers.
Location/​atmosphere: This location is definitely in high traffic area, especially at night. It seems to be very busy after 5pm and through the night. The place is a bit small for the amount of people who come through the store, but my friends and I always seem to be able to find a place to sit. The music is always great, playing the hits of 90’s r&b and hip hop! We are always jammin’ while eating our ice cream.
Service: The employees at this location seem to very attentive to their consumers. They offer samples to newbies and also assist with choosing what to order. They are very friendly and patient.
Product/​Food: The ice cream is delicious! For such a small portion, you can easily get full. I always order the ‘Sweetie’ because it simple and carries the best of the best of their product. Honey & soft serve ice cream. It’s not too sweet either, which is always a good thing in my opinion.
Parking: This probably the only down fall. Parking in this area can be a pain. There are lots that cost $ 5.00 in the area, but if you are looking for something cheaper or free, you may need to circle around the area several times before finding a spot. [meter or neighborhood parking]

First off, kudos to their PR/​Marketing Manager for their excellent job at marketing this place! I typically am not a fan of frozen yogurt, but the numerous posts I have seen about Honeymee is what drew my attention to this place. Décor and presentation are trendy and hip. The Honeymee was tasty and even included a honeycomb chip! Be advised that this can get sticky! However, I was turned off by Babee (ice cream in a bun). The bun was far from fresh and sweet and had no flavor. I offered the remaining to my cousins, but no one else wanted to eat it. Glad to have finally tried it out, but don’t think I will be returning.

My friend mentioned this place a couple days ago and it looked really interesting on Unilocal so I decided to check it out late last night. We arrived around 10pm and this place was packed! People were standing inside and outside enjoying their honey treat. The cashier told me this best seller was the sweetie so we ordered that. He said the honeymee was second place but I don’t think I would have enjoyed the waxy texture. The sweetie was delicious. The ice cream had a nice thick smooth texture and clean milky taste. The honey swirl was a great mixture.
Will be back to try a smoothie next time.

I ordered the honeymee — milk ice cream with honey comb on top. It was very creamy and the honey was super sweet, but it wasn’t «milky» enough for me. My friend described the ice cream as similar to Chick-fil-A’s softserve with a honeycomb on top. At $ 5, it seems a little more pricier for regular creamy ice cream just with a honeycomb on top. It is a good portion size, very creamy texture, and a cute store though.
Granted, I first tried Honeymee in South Korea, so I admit I had high expectations. The one in Korea actually tasted just like milk, it was amazing. Compared to the one in Korea, Honeymee here isn’t as «milky» tasting, so I was a little disappointed.

I don’t know how they do it but the soft serve itself is neither too sweet or too bland. It’s the perfect balance. Once you add the honey or other toppings to it, your cup of goodness is just perfection. I enjoyed every bite! And the portion size is just right.
It’s a good thing that there isn’t a Honeymee in Seattle… or else I would be visiting more than I should!

I don’t know… maybe I’m not into soft serve ice cream. It’s good soft serve but $ 5 for a tiny cup and a honeycomb? I believe it’s the real thing but the honeycomb doesn’t get you far and then after that you just get some nice but simple ice cream.
A-​ok.

Delicious milk ice cream! This location has way more options that the one in Koreatown.
The ice cream was perfect, creamy texture; not icy at all. The Affogato Honey is new, and it did not disappoint! The espresso was a nice bitterness to add in contrast to the sweet honey. I still hate the honeycomb (Honeymee) because it sticks to your teeth and tastes kind of waxy. It is a bit pricy for its size.
This is a great spot for dessert after lunch or dinner! Highly recommend it.

I came here with 2 friends after eating ramen at Daikokuya and it was packed even at 10 PM on a Thursday! We were stuffed so we decided to share a sweetie ($ 4.25). The minimum credit/​debit charge is $ 5 so make sure you have cash! Or, just order a few toppings ($ 0.25 each). I was pretty disappointed when I got the Sweetie. I’ve been to two other Honeymee locations and this location doesn’t give as much honey on the Sweetie compared to the other two. It was my friends’ first time and he enjoyed the ice cream and honey. After we finished the top of the ice cream, there was no more honey so we were just eating vanilla ice cream. The ice cream is very creamy but its not worth the $ 4.25. Stick to the one with the honey comb, even though the comb itself is pretty waxy tasting but at least you’ll get more honey? I feel that at that price, there a lot of better options.
Service was friendly and fast and I liked how this location has a few seats inside and some tables outside. There is also a cute wall of lotion, candles and other honey related things that you can look at while you wait for your order.

The size of the cup was pretty decent. I tried the Sweetie and wanted to know how much it would be to add a honeycomb. It would have been $ 1.25, and I must have looked sad because I think the cashier felt bad and asked if it was my first time, which it was, so he decided to add it in free of charge.
The dessert is a smooth ice cream served with honey drizzled all over, with the honeycomb on top. This was my first time eating a honeycomb and it was an interesting experience. I enjoyed this dessert but this seems a hype and very expensive. Soon after I ordered it became a full house. I’m not sure I understand the hype but it was great trying this at least once!

I looooove honey and Honeymee satisfies that craving for me. I always get their original soft serve with honey. I tried the one with chocolate and caramel but I thought it was waaay too sweet. Their soft serve is delicous. So creamy and rich. The soft serve also doesn’t melt fast either so that’s a plus to me. Their honey is also delicious. It isn’t like your store bought honey, since they get their honey from a bee farm. You can actually taste the difference.
The last time I went they had a new flavor, Affogato. I LOVE affogato. I always order it if it’s on the menu. Upon seeing this, I had to try it. It didn’t disappoint. The espresso was actually a nice touch since it helped balance out the sweetness of the honey and soft serve. However, I wish the espresso was a bit stronger. Now if only they made coffee flavored soft serve.
My favorite thing from Honeymee would actually have to be their shakes. I think they’re the better value since there’s more of it to drink than if you were eating a soft serve. I love how each shake has honey infused in it and you can really taste it when you drink it. It actually doesn’t overpower the flavor of the shake that you ordered, but enhances it. I ordered the coffee shake and I was actually surprised they added some kind of cocoa grind to the shake as well. It added a crunchiness to the shake and an extra pow of coffee flavor. It was a pleasant surprise. However, I would say their shakes are pretty sweet so if you don’t have that big of a sweet tooth, be wary.

Solid, soft-​serve ice cream. They put real honey in each dish and everything either costs $ 4 or $ 4.50 for both either a cup or shake shake. The affogato (espresso) one is really good but the shakes is where its at, most of them are cheaper than the cups and its just on a different level.
I believe they are open to midnight 7 days a week, parking is a bit of an annoyance but you can probably find some along the inner streets off Sawtelle.

Honeymee prides itself on serving up soft serve-​like ice cream made with milk produced in a certified Kosher dairy factory. And well, their honey comes from a local bee farm. All this makes for a pretty tasty, milky goodness cup of ice cream.
We will definitely come here again and again. You get a tiny cup for a giant price. Sad. But it was worth every small bite or lick! This WLA location has quite a following!
With several locations throughout So Cal, it shouldn’t be too far from your neck of the woods. The honey affogado… is delicious.

awesome spot after a meal around the area!
Line is usually not crazy
you can also use the check in offer!
$ 5 minimum for credit card though!

Delicious! It’s a tiny little store with some indoor and outdoor seating. I came on a weeknight so was able to get a table outside. However I can imagine this place being overrun on a weekend.
They sell permutations of ice cream made with real milk and honey and other healthy items.
I tried the Sweetie and the Honeymee. They are basically the same thing except that the honeymee included a honey comb on the ice cream, which was delicious. The honey really was delicious and the ice cream was divine. I realized that most of the ice cream we had probably isn’t made with whole milk.
Overall it’s a bit pricy but I think it’s worth giving yourself a little treat!

This should be a short and sweet review because Honeymee’s offerings are both short and sweet, but that’s certainly not a bad thing. If you are good at doing something really well, why complicate things?
Walking in after 11 pm on a Saturday, I was surprised to see it rather busy, but the servers made things move quick. The menu is simple, a few toppings and a good share of milkshakes. There most popular offerings are the Sweetie (ice cream with liquid honey) and the Honeymee, which offers a sizable piece of honeycomb. I can’t for the life of me figure out why they don’t offer those two together as one? But that is basically what I asked for. I was also able to try the Dear.
I have no idea what «true milk ice cream» is, but it had a nice smooth consistency. Not sure why adding honey to ice cream is a revelation because the pairing is perfect. The Dear is a simple sundae with French sea salt and a little goes a long way to making it taste“elevated.“
Overall it’s a fun little ice cream shop. Is it worth driving cross city to get it? Eh, I wouldn’t think so. But if you are in the area, it’s worth a stop.

I have tried Honeymee before (K-​town location) and wasn’t a fan. First time I tried it, I had the Honeymee, which was just the milk ice cream with a honeycomb. I would not recommend ordering this one unless you are willing to pick your teeth while you eat from all the sticky honeycomb. However, I did enjoy their Sweetie (milk ice cream with just honey drizzle) with light honey + granola during my second visit. Wayyy better!
Additional notes:
–Cash only unless you order over $ 5.
–Extremely sticky floors at this location.
