About Salt & Straw

Salt & Straw is a popular spot for unique and delicious ice cream flavors at reasonable prices. This little ice cream shop is located on University Avenue, attracting much foot traffic. The restaurant often has a long line, especially on weekends, but it's worth the wait. The ice cream is creamy and tasty, with many fascinating flavors to choose from, including the refined and recommended pistachio with saffron and rose water. Other popular flavors include Coffee Love Nuts, which has a strong creamy coffee flavor with toffee bits and sweetened pecans, and Jasmine Milk Tea with Almond Stracciatella. Customers also enjoy the vanilla bean with sea salt and caramel and lavender. For those feeling adventurous, there are bold options like habanero with berries and strawberries with pepper and balsamic.

The restaurant offers reusable spoons for tasting and has a unique option to buy a pint of any flavor to skip the line. The staff are always lovely and patient, making it easy for guests to taste test before deciding on their flavors, which is appreciated. Although there may be occasional long lines and busy staff, overall service remains friendly and helpful. There is limited seating available, but the lively ambiance makes for a pleasant experience. Despite the challenges of parking, Salt & Straw is a must-visit for ice cream lovers looking to enjoy unique flavors.

Share your opinion about Salt & Straw

Judging by the front of the store I was already expecting a good ice cream shop, however what I wasn’t expecting was to fall in love. If I were to close my eyes and imagine a perfect ice cream, Salt & Straw’s Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough would surpass it by far. Lovely store, great staff, highly recommend.
