"Ten years ago, Salt & Straw was likely the most commonly spotted Portland ice cream on Instagram, but now, as Salt & Straw shops open all over the country, Portlanders are far more inclined to share shots of this cheese shop’s lanky towers of soft serve, dusted in various flavor powders and topped with a picture-perfect chocolate cowboy hat. They’re not just pretty, either: The ice cream itself is supremely rich and silky, and the dollop of chocolate ganache at the bottom of the cone is a thoughtful touch." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
