Honey & Butter is a cute and gourmet macaron bakery in Irvine, CA run by Leanne and Pawel, a power couple who conquered many learning curves to pursue what they love – fresh, delicious, and cute macarons. They opened their first brick and mortar in June of 2014 and have since opened a second shop with frequent themed events that draw in 2 hour wait lines! We should probably mention that they also do collabs with brands we all love including Pusheen, Toki Doki, and Atlus. You’ll even find Honey & Butter featured on Buzzfeed!

But what is all this talk about cool brands? Not only have they become known for their cute character-shaped cookies, including corgis, Sailormoon, Star Wars, and Pokemon, just to name a few, their macarons are some of the best out there in term of taste and quality. Sakuradragon even admits that she did not understand the macaron craze until she tried Honey & Butter’s.

Neither Leanne nor Pawel had any business experience prior to opening their own bakery. They’ve grown from working 16hr days to what some would consider an ideal work life balance. They enjoy walks in the park with their two corgis and video games after their work hours are over.

Honey & Butter is now a well loved dessert shop in Irvine and on Instagram and a stop for visitors from all over the world!
