Customer Reviews
a name with Salt and Straw I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. It came highly recommended though and as ice cream connoisseurs we couldn’t refuse. And I am an VERY glad we didn’t. The unique name fits it perfectly. Their ice cream flavors have you question if what you are really ordering is ice cream or a dish. The creativity of flavors comes across as weird to begin but as you taste them they are radical. Even though there was a line we were able to try a variety of flavors. The limited edition flavor that we went with was the apple & cheddar cinnamon roll and we added salted caramel to that. We also ordered pear & blue cheese with the olive oil flavor. That was the winning combination for sure. Like I said, you question if you are eating dessert or a dish but it is without a doubt some o
I forgot just how great Salt & Straw is. Now that I remember, this is my absolute favorite ice cream in the entire west coast. What makes this place great is the combination of wildly creative flavors, top quality ingredients, super generous portions, and in this particular case awesome friendly staff. I got lucky with the serving lady and got a mound of stupendous ice cream (special banana foster, cookie dough) on a waffle cone. It was simply the best ice cream I had in a while. 100% recommend!
Great unique olive oil flavour. Mismatch of scoop to empty cone size though. For me, this detracted from eating the last 1/3. The value of this place is on par with other ice creameries. Selection of flavours is decent! I tried a few and honestly, this was the only one that stood out to me.
I was there earlier around 5 Place is nice and smells amazing BUT the ice cream is not even woth it at all. The flavors aren't even good Also i don't like to leave bad word on employees but the lady helping me was being very unprofessional constantly laughing and getting distracted by the male next to her I had to repeat myself a couple times a nice girl but can tell she doesn't take her job serious had a hat on. Definitely won't be coming back here.
Great chain of ice cream stores. I have been here at least 10 times in the past year and they always hit with their seasonal flavors. The line might be a bit long, but it’s worth the wait. I personally always do two scoops as it is worth every single dollar.
