Honeyberry

Awesome customer service and best dessert spot in Milpitas. We ordered and enjoyed cream cheese and chocolate roti buns, mango tango smoothie, milk tea, and an affogato. Spot on delicious.

They are in a little plaza next to other similar dessert places. They were not busy for a Friday night and just re-​opened. They had fast and friendly service. Typical prices for these places. They had games and stuffed animals.

Have to update my review and sadly it went down. The closed the shop sometime last year but has re-​opened with new management. On Monday June 13^th, i placed an order for three dozen roti buns… 2 dozen cream cheese and 1 dozen chocolate cream. order was repeated and confirmed. I asked what time would be best to come pick up. They suggested 11am for my pick up time on Tuesday June 14^th. Fine. As i was flexibly and the girl on the phone suggested it, i worked my schedule around that. Come by at 11am… doors are still freaking locked and the shop is dark. Super scared and worried as that means the roti buns are NOT made fresh this early,…i hoped they had organized my order accurately. Finally 11:07 this young man has unlocked the doors and the open sign is turned on. I come up to ask him for my order and he has no clue. They had my name and order written down, but complete wrong. listing 3 half dozens of roti buns… WTF? would that not have been easier to write 1 and ½ dozen roti buns? anyhow. he calls someone and they say the order has been boxed up… turns out they have 12 buns total wrapped up not even the 1 and ½ dozen buns listed on the order… epic fail… this poor kid is scrambling to fix the situation… and only has old boxed up plain rotis and cream cheese rotis. So seeing as i was already running late i took the 24 he was able to scrounge for me… not the 36 i had placed. he was very apologetic and embarrassed but that still does not mean i am short after trying to organize and prepare them for my order. The two stars are for the young gentleman who was very sincere, tried to fix the sitch with a smile, and gave me a discount for the inconvenience and mistake. Zero stars for the stale old buns, poor management, and terrible employees that do not know how to place, take, or set their team up for success…
My issues are below:
1. Do not place someone on the phone to represent your business if they have NO IDEA what they are doing. This does not encourage people to come back. We order 3 — 4 dozen roti buns at a time and I will never come back to this location ever again. There was actually two people i heard in the background while i placed my order. The young lady on the phone and guy in the background helping confirm. I doubt more than two people are on the floor at a time… so both of you missed the order… great team work guys!
2. Do not give people stale buns that have been sitting around in a paper cardboard box (instead of sealed up properly) from the day before… This were straight up in the cardboard box in their little labeled white pastry bags… no bueno. Your prices at this location are ridiculous for the quality you are giving someone.
3. Your hours are incorrect on Unilocal. It shows 10am but you guys were actually open a little after 11am

Your hours are wrong on Unilocal and you probably don’t want to keep your doors unlocked if you are closed an hour before what your hours are listed on here. I want to give you another chance but it was disappointing. AND I wasn’t the only one that night who opened the front entry and was told you were closed. Love your roti bun ice cream sandwich from your other locations.

Yaaaas, Honeyberry finally opened up again! It felt like it was closed for so long, but it’s now open again under new management.
The roti bun was still as delicious as it was before. The drinks, however, were not good at all. I ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea and it did not taste like Roasted Oolong whatsoever. Probably the worst Roasted Oolong Milk Tea I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried it many times from various boba shops. I honestly wouldn’t trust their other drinks, but I’ll definitely stop by for their roti buns!
Staff was new, of course, but super friendly!

This place just opened 2 days ago! I got updated with the workers and I guess it’s got new owners and everything!!!
I was looking forward in getting my usual. A green tea latte since the evergreen location makes it frothy whereas this location makes it real creamy how a latte should but their coffee machine isn’t working but I am definitely coming back, plus side the workers were very accommodating and approachable.

Yea. They’re closed for remodeling again. No roti bun for me.

I never been here before. And I just happen to be getting a haircut next door I walked over here and asked what are these roti buns. I had a cheese and a plain. They are so poop good!!!

Its okay i went maybe 6 months ago and i went today. and its was great yogurt but what makes me give it a 3 is a couple of things.
1. i went six months ago and they charged me 24 dollars for an order of 2.40
2. she didn’t know how to refund me when she got somebody to do it they couldn’t give me a receipt. because he didn’t know how. i eventually got one (fixed receipt).
3. i was going to give it a 2 because if this reason i decided to get ice cream from the case they have. i looked saw some good flavors and that’s when i noticed a dead Miskito in the ice cream the chocolate flavor. i told the employee and she took like 5 minutes to remove the ice cream. i didn’t like that as soon as i told her she should have removed it but she waited a minute to help me first but eww i didn’t like that at all.
GOOD PLACE THAT’S WHY I GAVE IT A 3 not a 2

We stopped by to take a break from a long ride from Sacramento to the San Jose area. We decided to stop by here before heading out to Spartan Day at SJSU. We don’t know the place too well, so we ordered the Waffle Gelato. It was okay. I shared it with Simone and I think there was some miscommunication going on. I thought we were both going to get a Waffle with Gelato on our own but it didnt happen. The woman at the counter asked both our choice of gelato to add to the waffle. When the order was ready, both our gelato flavors were on one Waffle dish.
Miscommunication but it worked out anyway. The dish was large. The woman at the counter shouldve made it clear that it was very LARGE and that we could share. Geeze. Just felt like a blind person and someone chose for us.
No biggie. It worked out anyway. My suggestion is to let the customer know what your intentions are. It tasted all right. I realized after eating it… it wouldve been better if we had something lighter. Its pretty heavy and rich to eat it this way with a Waffle.

Honeyberry is never my first choice when it comes to dessert plans, but is always there when all other options fall through. Besides, where else can you get consistently good roti buns in the Bay?
People who work here are always really kind, but it sometimes takes a tad bit too long for orders to come out. As far as the chain goes, their milk tea isn’t anywhere near premium and is too sweet. I like how they jacked Philz Coffee’s mint mojito lattes, but it’s nowhere as fresh and the quality of their syrups really let the overall taste down. Their toast is awesome, but should be shared with a group of friends.
Nonetheless, I dig the options available at Honeyberry. There’s nothing that’s over the top fantastic about Honeyberry, but there’s nothing terrible about the food either. Solid 3 stars.

If I were just rating the frozen yogurt, I’d probably go three stars. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it was totally ok. Their toppings were a bit lacking, but still in the a-​ok range. So, why two stars?
My wife and I were trying to decide what to get between the gelato and the froyo, when we noticed that one of the froyo pumps was labeled as «Vanilla Soft Serve.» Everything else was clearly labeled yogurt (or greek yogurt), but this one was «Vanilla Soft Serve.» We both go for it, expecting, you know, vanilla soft serve. Loaded up on toppings, paid, and sat down to eat what was very clearly not vanilla, and not soft serve. It was plain frozen yogurt, and for plain frozen yogurt, it was pretty good, but when your taste buds are expecting boardwalk-​style vanilla soft serve, it’s a bit of a shock. Had it been labeled correctly, we would have gone for the gelato instead.

This is my go to spot for a late night snack! It actually makes me quite sad how empty this place is now a days, especially with the competing milk tea places next door (Sno-​Crave, Q-​Cup, Ten Ren, etc.). The teas here are good, but there are bad and good days (like some days it’s too sweet or the pearls are too hard). But overall, I LOVE the mint mojito coffee, thai tea, and peach green tea). They also have wifi, so feel free to bring your laptop and enjoy the space.
The only really bad thing I have to say is that it’s always so hot in there. There needs to be better ventilation. I always question if they’re violating any labor laws, considering the temperature of the work place. I sweat like crazy when I come here.
TLDR:
free wifi yay; always hot; good drinks (be careful; some drinks have powder); beautiful place

I always get the Plain Roti Buns, although the butter and cream cheese are good too.
The lady owner is always friendly.
Call before coming to make sure that they have the Roti Buns to avoid waiting for a new batch when you get there in case they run out.

I came here because I wanted a place to hang out with my friend and eat dessert. I bought the roti bun and mint mojito coffee. The roti bun was warm and soft. The coffee isn’t as good at Philz, but good try anyway! I did taste the mint… a little. My friend bought a nutella waffle. The whip cream was very liquidy and the waffle wasn’t crispy. Mehh… I like the mochi though.
On food alone, I would give it a 3, but I like the atmosphere. It is very spacious and they have board games for you to play with! I think it makes this place pretty fun to hang out. They also played some kpop videos on their TV screens. I think this place would be ideal for high school kids (sweets + games + space).

Yummm honeyberry. Warm roti filled with cream cheese and a crusty top, what end of year diet? Seriously, if I wasn’t already full from Pepper Lunch, I might have considered purchasing a half dozen to «share».
Standard price, 1.95 a bun. 3 options: the regular, chocolate butter, and the cream cheese. Both my friends said the chocolate butter was not buttery enough, but my cream cheese was heavenly.
They have lots of games (with no missing pieces!), froyo, and boba. Very clean location and very airy and open, which is a nice change from the mall kiosks.

This place is under new ownership. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
I happened to walk in here because I was getting a haircut next door.
It was early in the day about 11AM on a weekday I ordered about 7 drinks.
The atmosphere is really laid back and clean.
Plenty of space to hangout and enjoy the environment.
Well lit and great drinks and food… I didn’t try the desserts but you should come in and get a sampling of the gelato especially since it’s still hot in October. Not a big FROYO fan overall so the Gelato will do for me…
Next time I come I’ll try the Roti Buns…

I wouldn’t come here if the only thing you were searching for is frozen yogurt or ice cream. I was on a mission after lunch to quench my froyo fix. Frustratingly enough, none of the flavors except for lychee met satisfactory relief. For a dessert establishment, it was also really warm and stuffy inside. However, the interior and the displays of ice cream, self-​serve water, condiments, and utensils, and toppings were visually pleasant.
If I come back, I need to have room for the brick toast and the roti bun everyone keeps talking about.

Noelle’s Unilocal Notebook 2014
Items ordered:
six chocolate chip roti buns (to go)
six butter roti buns (to go)
one green tea toast
one chocolate snow ice
one milk tea
one coffee
paid with my debit and had my receipt emailed to me (you also have the option of having it text messaged to your cell phone).
On a cold and rainy afternoon, my baby son Ian, my mom and fellow Unilocaler Beth W. and my sis and fellow Unilocaler Vicky T. walked over to Honeyberry after attending a fellow Unilocaler and family friend’s wedding reception luncheon at Kalesa. We were greeted by the friendly staff behind the counter.
The guy behind the counter let me know it would be about 15 minutes for fresh roti buns and I was okay with the wait and placed my order. The green tea toast was amazingly delish– several pieces of buttery and sugary toast with green tea ice cream, coconut ice cream and red bean on the side in separate containers. The serving size of the green tea toast was perfect to share with three adults. The chocolate snow iced consisted of chocolate shaved ice and a scoop of chocolate ice cream with fresh fruits, ice cream and chocolate puff cereal. Iced milk tea was refreshing. The roti buns (both the chocolate chip and the butter were piping hot and fresh– simply delicious).
I’m in love with the buttery sugary toast– hmmmm, love at first bite.
Good customer service, delicious fresh sweets– who could ask for a better afternoon?!
Looking forward to coming back with my loved ones!
LOVE in 2014,
Noelle J.

Contemporary, spacious layout with board games and Wi-​Fi!
Roti Bun with Chocolate Butter, was what we were told that was smelling like sweet pastry baking out from their oven! We ordered it up and it reminded me of a freshly baked bun, that had some chocolate chips and a light crisp texture on top. The insides, were very buttery and soft.
Green Milk Tea, went well as a refreshment and their Mint Coffee, reminded me of the attempted replication of Philz Coffee! It was not bad at all.
Honeyberry is a good drop by pit stop, if you are looking for some boba tea and bakery goods!
