Salt & Straw

Salt & Straw on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City is easily one of the best ice cream shops in Los Angeles, and that is saying something. Everything here is homemade with the kind of care and creativity that turns ice cream into an experience. The texture is perfect—creamy and dense without being heavy—and the flavors are always changing, keeping regulars like me coming back to see what’s new. This time of year, the Halloween flavors are a wild ride. Be warned, the “Creepy Crawly Critters” flavor actually includes chocolate-covered grasshoppers and mealworms, which I appreciated more for the audacity than the appetite. For me, though, the all-time favorite remains the Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It hits that perfect balance of salty and sweet, with ribbons of malt and choc

This place is like the Ivy League of the icecream world. The most prestigious icecream with top quality & flavor you’ll ever have. The service is out of this world amazing and professional. They let you try as many flavors as you want in little metal spoon samplers. The wild flavors are so unique ; blue cheese pear , olive oil, lavender honey etc. I had the cinnamon churro & gooey chocolate brownie.

It’s a chain but, they do make craft ice cream and it’s pretty amazing. There’s several flavors I really enjoy. Their rotational menu might see your favorite flavor department but, I’m sure there will be an amazing substitute to cheer you up

Great ice cream and friendly staff! Very limited space though so more of a “to-go” place. Ended up a bit crowded with a decent wait. But overall, I definitely recommend it.

Delicious ice cream and has a rich feel and oozie rich flavor to it. Interesting flavor combinations and all very good quality. No I did not venture to try fried chicken flavor, call me boring.. they are happy to give tastings and in metal spoons too! Great ice cream place.
