Honey & Butter Macarons

My friend is obsessed with this place and I finally sampled a bunch. Their weekly menu looked really good and for $3 you get a large, especially delicious and well made sweet treat. Service was awesome, the staff recommended us their favorites and we were not disappointed. They wear really cute hats too. The store is really brightly decorated and gives a fun cheerful atmosphere. Strawberry yuzu: really juicy tasting, I saw little strands of berry preserve when I took a bite. Very sweet and tangy. It's a good one. Lemon meringue: not very sour, had a baked taste I didn't expect, probably from the flambé. Not a standout for me but for those who like lemon meringue it may be your type. Taro Sticky Rice: this flavor blew my and my friends away. In fact, we went across the mall to go buy more right after eating it. The layers of the sticky rice are smooth and have the signature chewy texture, and the taro comes through not only the macaron but in the center filling. It's kind of a work of art. Honey Lavender: really impressively fragrant with lavender. You will not be disappointed in how much flavor this macaron has. It's strong and elegant. Milk and honey: their signature flavor. It's the sweetest one we tasted, and more subtle on the aroma. I love that this store has stayed open (survived the pandemic too!) to provide what may be the best quality, innovative and worth-your-money macarons. I am excited to try more limited special flavors once I am back around!

My absolute favorite place to get macarons. The flavors are always a mix of traditional and unique flavors. The cookie texture is always crispy on the top and chewy in the center with a creamy filling.If you are lucky enough to go when they have creme brûlée macarons please get it! It's just so good.Tip: a dozen macarons gets you a discount and a star on their rewards.

This cute little macaroon shop is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. I recently tried their Milk and Honey macaroon, and while it wasn't my absolute favorite, I still appreciated the unique flavor. It had a comforting taste reminiscent of a sugar cookie dipped in milk, with a gentle hint of honey that made it feel warm and cozy.However, the real star of the show for me was the Enchanted Berries macaroon! Taking a bite felt like indulging in a fresh strawberry--so vibrant and bursting with flavor that I couldn't get enough. I would have loved even more berry notes, but as someone who adores strawberries, it was still a delightful experience.The atmosphere of the shop is charming, and the staff are incredibly friendly. If you're in Irvine Spectrum, Honey & Butter is a delightful stop that will satisfy your sweet cravings.

Original flavors that changes from the usual fares. On the technical aspects of the macaron itself, there is a good textural balance between a crisp shell and the chewy interior. Sign for a properly made one? The little "foot" that indicates the correct dough texture, resting and baking.The filling is generous and I like the balance of macaron to it. I also appreciate that they bring textures into the filling as well, it is interesting and pleasing.A luxurious indulgence.

Honey and Butter is a classic macaron shop you need to visit whenever you're at Irvine Spectrum. They aren't cheap, but they're not simple to make either, so I always think it's worth the price. I tend to buy a dozen because they look much cuter in the box that way, but I believe you can order them in a six pack or just by the piece. They also have a few specialty ones like characters as well. I also like that they have a cute little photo op in the store along with merchandise both for them and some other anime related things!Overall, a great stop if you're in the area. (2/50--2025)

Best. Macarons. Ever. My husband and I love coming here, though we have not been lucky to come for their character releases as of late. Most recently we tried their chocolate chip cookie, black velvet and taro sticky rice. All were delicious and the flavors really come throughout each bite! Always a stop to pick up macarons anytime we drive by!

I used to say I didn't care for Macarons, then I tried these ones and I changed my mind.The macarons are soft and chewy and the filling is not overly sweet. My favorites are the fruity pebbles and milk and honey macarons. The service was friendly and quick. Our macarons were boxed in the cutest little box.

These macarons are so cute and yummy!!I tried:1. Pistachio 2. Creme brulee 3. Honey

This place has been solid for years! Love that they are creative with their flavors and the macarons are not overly sweet. Price point is fair considering in Irvine. They just refreshed the cute photo wall.

Macarons are super sweet, so not my cup of tea. However, the cafe is very cute and would totally be a destination for the right crowd. This cafe is currently take away only as there are only 2 benches to sit, mostly for taking pictures and not really for sitting inside.Personally I didn't like how much cream was in each macaron (3:1 ratio) or that you only get it in a paper bag unless buying 6 or 12 macarons, and only then will you get a cute box. Granted, it's a striped purple bag, but it's still not cute like the box is and for the price, just not worth it.
