Golden Spoon — Restaurant in Newport Beach

OK, this review was going to hurt me. I have been coming here since I was two or three so let’s say since 1995. They had the best frozen yogurt I had ever tasted in my life from then until now. They even opened up branches across the US! But about 5 to 6 years ago there was a shift things started tasting frankly bad.

Sadly I remember this one lady who has been working there for the past 10 years and I know it’s super shallow but I never have liked her, because she only puts one spoonful of ingredients or add-ons which you pay for.

I don't get to visit as often as I'd like, but rest assured, every trip to Orange County is incomplete until Golden Spoon has been rightly...

However I must say that they have very few flavors, the employees act like they're annoyed to be waiting on you, and it is too expensive for the portion size. If you have the time you can drive 15 minutes and be at Yogurtland on 17th St. in Costa Mesa and have a HUGE selection of flavors and toppings.
