Salt and Straw is appreciated for its unique and adventurous flavor combinations, quality ice cream, and excellent customer service. Their staples like salted malted cookie dough and brownie are highly praised. However, some find their experimental flavors off-putting and overly sweet. In addition, the brand is perceived as overhyped and expensive for the value offered.

I used to like going here in the past but recently the flavors have been overwhelming and not good quality
Salt and Straw makes amazing products. The taste is great and ingredients are good. A little goes a long ways, I enjoy the flavor combinations they have.

I always love spotting their flavor of the month on their social media. I think November they'll have another thanksgiving inspired taste like turkey and gravy which you really don't see it anywhere else! I like their unique branding and their signature flavors are also good. A little expensive than other ice cream shops but the quality is worth the price.

So good! They have fun flavors (and wild ones too). You could literally host a party around this ice cream. Wish I lived closer to one of their shops so I wouldn't have to get it shipped. Try it!
Literally the most delicious-smelling ice cream there ever was! I know that sounds so silly, but there is a physical location in Coconut Grove in Miami and even walking around the corner or across the street you can smell this place. I was able to visit it when there was no one in it, which is unusual because it's usually packed with a line out the door. And the attendant was so helpful and guided me through samples. I purchased a pint of the Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and it lasted two days at home with my husband and I. I'll say we were a little disappointed when reading the ingredients on the back of the pint because it was a noticeably long list with some hard to pronounce words/chemicals. Overall, the taste is great, the flavor selections wonderful, and I'll go back to get some for myself and a pup cup.
As an ice cream nerd, I geek out on Salt & Straw’s impeccable quality and creative flavors. I’ve never had a bad scoop there and their waffle cones are 🤌🤌 The Olive Oil flavor is a MUST TRY, and I always recommend exploring their monthly new flavors too

I have only been here a few times since I have to travel to the West Coast to indulge, but I always stop here. I love their unique flavor options, and the seasonal options, which I always have to try, even if they are a bit out there (e.g. baked brie and fig cheesecake). The taste and texture of the ice cream is so smooth and flavorful. Add a waffle cone to enhance the taste even more.
One of the OG “bougie” ice cream brands. I’ve been to their first location in Portland and many of their California ones and never leave disappointed! Their staple flavors are all great (my favorite is the sea salt with caramel ribbons) but it’s always fun to go in and experiment with their seasonal flavors! Sometimes if the timing allows, I’ll pick up a pint and savor the goodness at home :)
Absolutely delicious. A variety of really creative seasonal flavors to look forward to, and surprisingly good flavor combinations. Only gripe is that the price is a bit high, but I guess it makes sense for the quality.
Exotic and yummy flavors! Loved the Sea salt & Caramel ice cream

It's definitely an experience, especially with some flavors that can be hit and miss. But the quality of this ice cream is to die for. You can definitely stay simple or try something like strawberry with balsamic glaze. The salted caramel one is delicious!
sea salt caramel is such an addicting flavor

Tried them at Disneyland, and they are delicious. The aroma from them making their fresh cones makes it impossible not to step in. They have fun and innovative flavors, which while I am a basic chocolate lover, I really appreciate. Absolutely a worthy treat if they are accessible to you!

Their artisanal flavors are simply unparalleled, offering a delightful blend of creativity and craftsmanship in every scoop. What sets Salt & Straw apart is their commitment to quality, evident not only in their amazing ice cream but also in their freshly made waffle cones that are an absolute delight. With friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere, Salt & Straw provides a truly memorable ice cream experience. If you're a dessert enthusiast like me, you owe it to yourself to visit Salt & Straw and savor the magic firsthand. Highly recommended!

a stellar miss for me
Well I live in PDX and so I have been here several times. It's always an utter delight what special flavors they have brewing. I love their coffee mix, and they have a seasonal marionberry pie that tastes just like marionberry pie with vanilla ice cream and it makes everything right in the world. Some things are not worth the hype- this is totally worth it.

Innovative flavour combinations (standouts include: Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper! Pear & Blue Cheese!); but, the ice creams verge on being way too sweet. More balance needed - which'll do justice to their fun flavour combinations and lovely formulation (creamy, not too ice-y)
So so so good! I am a frequent visitor of their SF location. The flavors are unique & so craveable. The candles they made are such a fun gift.
The Strawberry Honey Balsamic w/ Black Pepper flavor is to die for.
Delicious. When you walk by one of their locations, the smell of their fresh ice cream immediately wants you to run in and buy a double scoop.
