Honey & Butter Macarons

Heaven of macaroons! Macaroons are extremely delicious and the store itself is super cute. You don’t want to leave the shop. It is quite pricey but good macaroon is pricey everywhere. Highly recommend!

These macarons were delicious! Unfortunately, I forgot to take more photos cause we were rushed on time, but it was a super cute shop. Located within the Spectrum Mall, it's definitely worth visiting for a quick treat. There was a good range of flavors to choose from and some cute merch as well. We only picked out one each, but looking back I wish I had gotten more to take home. Staff was friendly and enjoyable to talk to. There was only one group in front of us, but I could see this place getting busy at peak times. Worth the wait though. Super yummy! Highly recommend!

The macarons were fine. The line was quite long. They didn’t have all the choices for us in the morning which was disappointing. The staff was fine but they seemed busy. Probably the store was understaffed as well.

I was not a macaron person. I never enjoyed them, with the exception of a home baker I knew who made them but hers never looked right, despite tasting good. I've literally had them shipped from Paris, France and did not like them. Ever since discovering Honey & Butter five years back, I will not buy macarons anywhere else. I live almost an hour away, so it is quite a drive for me but they're worth it. The size, the feet, the texture, the flavors and the sugar levels are perfect. I cannot praise them enough. I've been to several different locations before they were closed down, save this last one. It's located at the Irvine Spectrum, really close to Nordstrom's, so that's where you should park. Parking has always been really easy for me to find. Then it's a short walk from there to the shop. Sometimes there's a line, sometimes there isn't. Even with a line, it moves very quickly. Each time I go there, I am purchasing anywhere between 8-11 dozen macarons because I give them away and am also purchasing for friends who place their orders for me to pick up for them. To make it easy for both the employees and myself, I grab a bunch of the paper flavor menus and will mark those up for each order that I have with people's names on them. Then I get in line, hand my sheets over to the cashier and they proceed to put my order together and tuck each menu into the box so I know which is which. It's a pretty good system I've worked out with them. It makes ordering clear and precise and I've never had a mix-up with my orders. A couple friends are gluten-free, which makes H&B macarons perfect treats for them. The employees are SO CAREFUL when I tell them which orders need to be gluten-free. They make sure to do those orders first and will change their gloves out between the orders as well. Since they know my drive is so long, they'll thoughtfully bag up my orders with ice packs. Everything about the shop from cute decor to the super creative flavors to the extremely kind, patient and thoughtful employees has me coming back time and again. I love everything about Honey & Butter!

so many delicious flavors! the designs are so cute, too. when i went here, they had eevee evolution macarons. i loved the tsum-tsum themed decor (and their corgi).

All the flavors I got were so yummy! This is my favorite spot to get macarons. Cookie/biscuit were crispy yet chewy. Fillings were super buttery and flavorful while not being too overly sweet. Can't wait to come back to the irvine spectrum just so I can get more treats!

Cute cute cute shop! I was hesitant because sometimes cute shops don’t have the best tasting food nor desserts but I’m so glad I didn’t skip them. Not your traditional macarons, as they don’t taste, nor have the macaron textures like the Pierre Hermes and Laudurees of the macaron world. But it’s not necessarily a bad thing, as they have unique flavors and textures like crème brûlée, brownie, and ube. I hope to try more in the future. They also offer a variety of gluten free macarons and looking to see if we’re affected, but so far so good. 5 stars for the creme brûlée. 💕

The best macaroons I have ever had! We love to try macaroon bakeries and we are glad we tried this cute bakery. The macaron melts in your mouth, each one is flaky and the filling is flavored well, not too sweet. We tried 6 flavors and were content with each one. I wish we had purchased more, my mouth is watering as we speak. I will be back for sure! Oh and they are cashless.
