Got a couple of flights ($15 each, kids scoop of 4 ice creams). Probably better off just getting a double scoop for half off. We both liked two of our four flavors. Mint chocolate chip was surprisingly disappointing.

Great tasting ice cream with a wide selection of various flavors as well as a monthly section. Worth the wait even if theres a line. Very delicious πŸ˜‹ Dont count the calories, just indulge once in a while.

So many amazing flavors makes it a challenge to decide, but no matter which flavor I choose it always tastes delicious! And the staff are always so friendly and helpful.

The new flavors for the month came out and I was excited to try them all. I usually stick with the Olive Oil but wanted to try Goosebumps. Im sure the girl behind the counter told me it was mango and something else, but all she had to say was mango. Great concept and flavors. Service is always fast too!

I came across this place after searching up things to do. Boy, was I happy I gave this place a try. I tried the honey lavender flavor, as well as the pear & blue cheese ice cream on a waffle cone. I was pleasantly surprised. This is the best ice cream Ive ever tasted. The waffle cones are freshly made on premise. Apparently the ice cream are hand made, and the price isnt too terrible as you really get what you paid for. The staff were very friendly and they ask if you have any food allergies. I had to visit another location to get my fix of the honey lavender.

Had some amazing ice cream with some amazing people. What a great location and filled with great staff. We ordered the salted malted cookie dough and it melted us. Just be careful crossing the street with little ones. I noticed that not many people care to stop for pedestrians. Enjoy your visit and the crazy flavors! Cheers!

I came in here super late, after a dinner out with friends. The staff was extremely friendly and the ice cream was top notch. I personally had the Cold Brew Coffee Cashew Praline and it was the perfect night cap dessert. Honestly, I have never had anything bad from this company, but had never been to this location. They did not disappoint. I would recommend people stop by for any strange and unique flavor combinations they offer.

I was happy to have a great vegan/non-dairy option that was amazingly good!

Review β„–13

The Halloween special ice-cream is amazing. However after trying some other flavors I have noticed that the ice-cream is a bit on the saltier side which probably goes with the name. Ice cream is smooth unlike store bought, however it is salty. And being on the expensive spectrum of places to eat ice cream im sure ill find myself somewhere else next time.

The lavender ice cream was really good. I wish there were more locations. They do a great job of getting the customers in and out. A very pleasant experience, would definitely go back. The smell of the fresh cones is so nice

Review β„–23

The employee helping us was super friendly (but not annoyingly so) and answered all our questions about the different flavors. He was considerate of my mothers wheat allergy and let her know which ice creams she could enjoy safely.In our group we got 4 different flavors and all of them were creative and super tasty. I tried the blue cheese and pear and would get it again! My sister tried some of mine and said she wouldnt get it for herself, but she liked the vanilla with caramel ribbons she ordered so I guess its a matter of preference.

I absolutely love their Honey Lavender ice cream. It is incredibly creamy and delicious. Definitely my go-to. I wish I lived closer to a Salt & Straw, but the closest one is an hour away. If I was any closer, my entire paycheck would be gone. ;) 10/10πŸ’•

Fantastic ice cream spot. The flavors really pop here. Had the double cup for $8 and had the brownie and cookie dough and the cookie dough one was way too salty for my liking and not enough cookie dough. However, the brownie one was fantastic: hit the spot. Highly recommend!

Review β„–41

Get the olive oil ice cream. If you want two flavors, do a split scoop. Double scoop is way too big for one person (unless very hungry or gut of steel). You know its a good shop if my only complaint is that they give too much ice cream (as if thats a thing)

INCREDIBLE! 5/5 MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME ICE CREAM HERE! I had the vegan chocolate hazelnut single scoop sugar cone. Not only was it the biggest single scoop Ive ever gotten, it was the tastiest. I know that is saying a lot, but I mean it. Hands down the best vegan ice cream I have ever had.

Went for the first time with my coworkers after work. The line was long, but it didnt take as long as wed thought. When you get to the counter, youre allowed to taste as many flavors as you like to help you decide. I ended up going for two classic flavors; Honey Lavender and Arbequina Olive Oil (sounds gross, but they complement each other well). The chick at the counter actually recommended it when I asked what would pair well with Honey Lavender. I chose a single serving, but was told I could split it between two flavors, and chose one of the in-house made waffle cones. I hadnt eaten since lunch that day, but the single was more than enough to fill me up for a bit. Im a small person, so keep that in mind. My coworker opted for a double in a waffle cone, and struggled to finish at the end. Side note: One of my other coworkers showed up later than us, and we went through the line again. Turns out you can buy a pint of a specific flavor, and if you wanna go that route, you can bypass the line and just check out. They throw in some sugar cones as a bonus. My coworker got a pint of Honey Lavender and they asked if she wanted 3 or 4 cones. She said yes, obviously.

I make periodic visits to Salt & Straw to try new seasonal flavors or because I am craving their more established ones like the honey lavender or olive oil. You can always check out their selection online. Do not miss out on the fresh waffle cones. It is worth waiting in line when they are busy. You can also place orders online ahead of time if you do not want to wait.

Review β„–61

This place has a various different flavors of once cream that you may have not even heard of at any other ice-cream place. Initially you get to try and tase various flavors in a single spoon.Tried the lavender honey flavor and it was better than my expectations. She tried strawberry honey flavor and said it was too sweet. Some of the flavors have a salty taste, as it goes my the name of the place. Ambience is really good. Seating is limited. Reasonably priced. The place can get crowded in no time. Overall a good place for your ice cream cravings.

I live in the east coast and have waited 2 years to fly to the west coast to try Salt and Straw (thanks Covid). Ever since I saw this on The Rock’s instagram, I have been dying to try this.Well, my dream was fulfilled, and I inhaled the 4 scoop flight in 4 minutes. This place lives up to its reputation!This location seems to have a shorter lines than the others. There was no line when I came in at 6PM on a wednesday.

Review β„–63

Vary tasty and original flavors. There strawberry and coconut water icecream is heavenly. It is one of there most popular flavors. There was a big line when we came in but we got helped quickly. They let of sample flavors till we all found what we liked. They are not a lot of places to set inside or out side of the icecream shop. I will definitely be coming back and getting icecream to go. They sell icecream in small tubes you can take home. They sell merchandise like shirts and such to.

Amazing flavors! I had the sea salt and caramel and the olive oil- both were absolutely outstanding. Also the limited time Geronimo Stilton- with parmesan and ritz crackers, was surprisingly delicious. Cheese ice cream- who knew?!?

Review β„–66

The ice cream is a little saltier than what I would have liked, but its still super great and gourmet. We had a flight to split between 2 people, its just a bit more expensive than getting 2 cones!They have some really cool and interesting flavours as well that are seasonal and limited time, would definitely give those a try! Not a ton of sitting space, but lots of room outside to sit down if its a nice day to enjoy the ice cream.

If you can stand the line what awaits you at the end is nothing short of dairy divinity. The flavors are odd but most will pleasantly surprise you. Try one of their seasonal selections; they are renowned for they local, fresh, seasonal ingredients. Ask for samples before you buy, you can try as many as youd like, so load up.

We love this place! The different flavors are what intrigue us the most! At the time there was a bunch of thanksgiving foods turned into ice cream which I thought was weird but it was actually really really yummy! There will be a long line waiting for you when you get there so take a nice warm jacket! The service is always fast, and the employees are always so nice, and they will help a lot like if you have questions, recommendations or even you wanna sample something, they are always ready to help!

So...... you should come here. Ask for a taste, theyre super kind and you can try any flavor you want. Seasonal flavors and traditional favorites, you cant go wrong. If you love chocolate, get the warmed brownie, hazelnuts & hot fudge sundae with whipped cream. The perfect size, the perfect treat... savor it.

RUDELY SKIPPED BY an employee named CLAIRE. Do not know why, but she did have us move over giving all her attention to the lady on our right, like me and my daughter didnt exist. Now other than that, the ice cream is excellent and the selections are vast and different. A must go, especially if Claire isnt helping you.

Its OK. My sister-in-law is obsessed with the flavors, but I dont particularly like the combinations. You wont like it if you have a bland palette. If you prefer ice cream like ben and Jerrys, go there. Otherwise youre overspending for OK but not great ice cream.
