About Salt & Straw

Salt & Straw is an ice cream shop that pushes the envelope with creative and seemingly weird flavor combinations. It features both rotating monthly flavors and solid permanent options. The menu includes decadent and delicious choices like honey lavender, strawberry balsamic and black pepper, pear and blue cheese, pumpkin pie tiramisu, chocolate pistachio milk and cookies, bananas foster with candied pecans, and even savory-inspired ones like turkey stuffing and cranberry sauce or Parker House rolls. They also offer more traditional flavors, such as a highly praised coffee flavor and classic mint chip.

The rich and creamy ice cream blends together fruit, chocolate, nuts, and numerous other delicious elements. The welcoming and friendly staff encourages customers to try as many samples as they want free of charge before deciding. Service is consistently pleasant and accommodating. The satisfying scoop size is served in a cup or a delicious waffle cone, with the aroma of waffle-cone making often drawing people in. While the old-timey decor presents a classic vibe, the innovative approach is modern. The line moves relatively fast even on crowded nights, and the stores are kept super clean. However, seating is limited and a single scoop is not exactly budget friendly. With vegan and gluten-free options available, it is a great place for a once-in-a-while treat, a fun date night, or a stop with friends and family to experience unique and phenomenal ice cream.
