I walked into Salt & Straw today for the first time. Having never been to any of their stores, I had no idea what to expect. There was a very helpful employee working behind the counter that greeted me, and offered me samples of anything I wanted. When I explained it was my first time and I asked what they were known for he graciously stopped what he was working on and proceeded to tell me about the flavors they are known for, along with some fan favorites, and their monthly special flavors. I opted for a waffle cone with Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. The ice cream was delicious! The freshly made waffle cone was crisp and tasty. I was pleasantly surprised by the great hospitality and the genuinely good ice cream. Although I am only in town for a few days I will definitely find some time to drop in again before I leave.

Don't be scared off by the line. It's worth the wait and worth the calories! The scoops are generous so size down.

Bianca is amazing! She warmly welcomed my family and me, shared great recommendations, and encouraged samples that made picking flavors fun and effortless. You can feel her passion and care immediately. Bianca truly made this visit memorable, and the store has such a refreshing, nostalgic vibe. Will definitely be back!

Bianca gave us the best service I’ve ever received; Cannot recommend this place enough!

Way too good. I get the hype. I’d say I would come back but I already did. And I’ll do it again. Come here and try it.

Delicious options. So happy I have a replacement for my favorite in Seattle, Molly Moon's.

Very good milkshakes and ice creams! Highly recommended! Prices are in line with the other ice cream shops in the area.

I like the unique flavors they have, the atmosphere and the staff. Always a pleasant experience.
The vibe is pure Abbot Kinney: half the crowd is “just taste-testing” while pretending not to be influencers, and the other half is seriously debating which flavor best pairs with existential dread.
Straw has carved out its niche with out-of-the-box flavors — think pickled cucumber sorbet (yes, really) or the olive oil classic, which is my personal favorite and dangerously addictive.
Bonus points to the staff, who somehow stay cheerful while juggling 47 simultaneous requests for “just a tiny sample.”
Parking? Forget it — this is Venice. Consider it part of your wellness routine.

Paid 8$ for a double scoop where the bottom was melted and the top was rock hard so their was no way to scoop it out of the tiny cup without it spilling everywhere.

It's Salt & Straw. Impeccable quality and flavors but no place to sit and peacefully eat. Gets very busy.

Expensive as hell! One single scoop costs $8 with tax and tip! Yikes! But it was DELICIOUS and the customer service was great! Tip of the hat to the very professional scooper! Bravo!
