Classic Pints

Chocolate Gooey Brownie
For anyone who eats warm brownies right out of the pan. We fold fudgy chocolate-y brownie batter into intensely rich chocolate ice cream. Contains: Milk, Wheat, Eggs
Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie dough
Made with the same bold malt you'd use to brew amber ale, our cookie dough is perfectly salty-we use two types of salt. Thick malted fudge rounds it all out. Contains: Milk, Wheat
Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons
Our reimagination of the classic. We spike our cream with just enough Guatemalan fleur de sel to bring out its nuances, then drizzle in ribbons of our hand-burned caramel. Contains: Milk
Double Fold Vanilla
It's called "double fold" for a reason: Our friends at Singing Dog use twice as many vanilla beans in their extract to pack an incredible punch. This definitely ain't vanilla vanilla. Contains: Milk
Cinnamon Snickerdoodle
We fold our house-baked chewy snickerdoodle cookies into ice cream that's spiked with the most intensely spiced, warm cinnamon. Made with Red Ape Cinnamon Contains: Milk, Wheat, Eggs
Strawberry Honey Balsamic w/ Black Pepper
A strawberry triple threat. We steal a trick from the Italians, using balsamic and citrusy cubeb black pepper to help coax out the fruit's acidity and brightness. Contains: Milk
Honey Lavender
Bliss for lavender lovers. We steep pounds of lavender petals in local honey, bringing out more complex, herbaceous flavors than you've ever experienced. Contains: Milk
Pear & Blue Cheese
We candy Oregon bartletts to bring out their flavor, then fold in cave-aged crumbles of Rogue Creamery's blue cheese (voted best in the world) for a bold thwack. Contains: Milk
Arbequina Olive Oil
Ice cream illuminates this incredible Oregon olive oil's velvety texture and tropical, grassy notes. At once simple and wildly complex. Contains: Milk
Freckled Mint Chocolate Chip (v)
Coconut and pure Oregon mint oil coalesce into a delicate, floral ice cream, freckled with organic dark chocolate. Made with Seely Mint Contains: Tree Nuts (coconut), Soy
Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge (v)
Creamy coconut vanilla ice cream drizzled with a housemade semi-sweet caramel fudge swirl then flecked with shards of peanut butter brittle Contains: Peanuts, Soy, Tree Nuts (Coconut)
Marionberry Coconut Sherbet (v)
While we're lucky enough in Oregon to have these hulking berries hit our markets in summer, most of the world has never heard of them. Coconut cream and a little sugar are the only things we need to let the sweet-tart complexity of the marionberries shine in this creamy, refreshing flavor.Contains: Tree Nuts (coconut)
Coffee & Love Nuts
Coffee ice cream studded with glazed, chocolate-coated pecans Contains: Milk, Tree Nuts (pecans, coconut)

Limited Edition Pints
Cinnamon & Honey Fried Chicken
Spiced vanilla ice cream, bits of fried chicken croissant. Contains: Milk, Wheat, Soy
Baked Brie & Fig Cheesecake
Brie cheesecake ice cream, candied ritz cracker, thick fig jam Contains: Milk, Eggs, Wheat, Soy
Chocolate Potato Salad
Spiced mustard ice cream, potato chip cookies, chocolate fudge. Contains: Milk, Eggs, Wheat
Pumpkin Spiced Tiramisu
Pumpkin spiced coffee ice cream, tiramisu, coffee mascarpone. Contains: Milk, Wheat, Eggs
Beecher's Cheese w/ Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls
Apple cinnamon rolls, Beecher's Flagship Cheese ice cream, cinnamon swirl. Contains: Milk, Wheat, Eggs
Caramel Apple Sherbet
Apple juice sherbet, vanilla-infused caramel. Contains: Milk
Pinot Poached Pear Sherbet
Pinot Noir-steeped pears, sherbet, vanilla ice cream. Contains: Milk, Sulfites
Chocolate Plum & Hazelnut Shortbread (v)
Coconut cream, plum marmalade, chocolate hazelnut shortbread. Contains: Tree Nuts (Hazelnut, Coconut), Soy, Sulfites

The best worst flavor
They have abominations like habanero with berries and strawberries with pepper and balsamic, for the bold.

The rest of less weird combinations are just delicious, vanilla bean with sea salt and caramel, lavender, chocolate brownie.

Generous portions and long line on weekends, try them on off-peak hours and you can have a couple of tastes

Salt & Straw post dinner is always a nice treat!

The Palo Alto location can definitely get busy.

I always get the strawberry and coconut water sherbet now!

$6.75 for a single scoop.

Parking can be tough in the area.

We tried 8 flavors today. Normally I love blue cheese but it wasn’t meant to be in icecream. My favorite was the cinnamon.

2025-07-18 we went back again since my family and i are back in the Palo Alto area. i really like their ice cream and their service. they let my teenage boys try about 4-5 flavors each without a complaint (they guy was happy to give it to them)
