Salt & Straw Starts Scooping Ice Cream (and Bugs) at Downtown Disney | Eater LA

"A Portland-based ice cream chain has opened its sixteenth shop in Anaheim’s Downtown Disney, bringing signature wood-carved interiors and inventive, savory-forward flavors to theme-park visitors. The location serves twelve classic scoops alongside bold combinations like Black Olive Brittle & Goat Cheese and Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper, plus an exclusive Pots of Gold & Rainbows (a cereal-steeped sweet milk with Lucky Charms marshmallows). Seasonal Halloween offerings push the novelty factor—Creepy Crawly Critters is a matcha ice cream with coconut toffee-brittle, mealworms, and dark chocolate-covered crickets—and patrons can add “Crittles,” a sugary mealworm brittle, as a topping. Designed by Andee Hess of Osmose Design, the shop features sculpted fixtures, wooden door pulls, a rustic twist on the red-and-white parlor motif, and a 14-foot hand-carved wooden ice cream totem. Located in the outdoor Downtown Disney district (no park admission required), it also sells small marketplace goods like Marshall’s Farm honey and Theo chocolate and offers a grab-and-go pint freezer from 10 a.m. to midnight. It is the first of three major openings planned for the district, with Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer and Ballast Point expected to follow." - Carlye Wisel
