Salt & Straw may not have a huge number of vegan options, but what they have is delicious, creamy and pretty creative. This time, I enjoyed Banana Bread with Strawberry Jam and Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge.

Oh man, where do I even start with Salt & Straw? This place is like if a rogue alchemist snuck into a dairy farm and started experimenting with forbidden elixirs. I strolled in with high hopes and emerged victorious with a milkshake that’s basically liquid gold: sea salt caramel as the silky base, crowned with two scoops of their olive oil ice cream. Olive oil in ice cream? It sounds like a madcap plot twist, but it delivers; creamy with a whisper of earthy savoriness that dances with the caramel like old flames rekindling. Each slurp was a symphony of rich, balanced bliss. I felt like I’d unlocked a secret level in the game of desserts. But wait, the drama unfolds: the straw. And hey, “Straw” is literally in their name... talk about irony! This biodegradable bad boy decided to split clean down the middle quicker than a celebrity couple in tabloid headlines. One moment it’s heroically tackling the thick shake; the next, it’s in two pieces, forcing me to improvise like a survivalist in the wilderness. Ended up tilting the cup back like I was toasting the gods. Pro tip: pack a backup straw forged from adamantium, or just lean into the mess. Even with the straw’s split-second betrayal, this was an epic win. Salt & Straw, you’re the flavor wizard I didn’t know I needed. 5 stars, no notes, because who needs perfection when you’ve got pure, chaotic joy? 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Flavors are not vibing. The sweet and salt proportions in the cookie dough flavor were way off. Malt addition is unnecessary.

I can here a quarter to closing after a Valkyries game. The customer service I had zero expectations for and they went above and beyond so close to closing. They encouraged us to sample flavors. A great night shift crew.

The ice cream here is good but this store is always running low on things and they have a ridiculous “store policy” where they won’t open & scoop the ice cream in their own freezer even if you buy the whole pint!!

Delicious ice cream, great place to stop for a break when you're in the neighborhood. Popular with locals, always a good sign. Wheelchair accessible, wide front door is right on the street.

they had 4 vegan flavors and the two I tried were really creamy and flavorful. I got the mint chocolate chip
Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! Large selection of flavors. Ice cream was some of the best my wife or I have ever had! Highly recommend for anyone!

Very sweet, a bit too sweet for an old guy like me. And a little on the soft side. Enjoyable and very popular with the local theater going public. We walked here amid a crowd from nearby Davies Symphony Hall.
Vegetarian options: Five vegan options when we were there, but two looked temporary. Also small cups were available for dogs. I never noticed that at an ice cream shop, but I can't say I'm an authority.
Dietary restrictions: Vegan options
Wheelchair accessibility: There is no step from the sidewalk, so I'd say this shop is very wheelchair friendly.

Delicious Gelato in San Fransisco. I really love the freckled mint chocolate chip, which is suitable for vegan. The waiters & waitresses are so friendly and fast response. U can ask to try several flavors. There is also free water.

The ice cream is not good. I tried the pumpkin and sweet potato casserole. The vegan ice cream is so icy and the dairy ice cream is not creamy.
