Salt & Straw

This little hidden jewel is really nice and the only reason I didn't 5🌟 rate it is because to be worthy of 5🌟's you have to do or have something really amazing and for me, the ice cream is good but there are no toppings to add ! Not to mention I am "Vegan" and the options are just too few to satisfy this ole greedy kid🤗. As I always say regardless of my review I would suggest that everyone try it cause what makes me tic may not have the same effect on you. Also their scoops are prettier than what my pics display, mine melted a bit and I put it in fridge to harden it a bit. I hope y'all enjoyed this review and thanks for taking the time to read it.

Absolutely enjoyed my visit to Salt & Straw! The customer service was outstanding—super friendly and welcoming staff who made the experience even better. The ice cream was delicious, as expected, but the service truly stood out

Step out of the ordinary ice cream line and get the extraordinary salt and straw uniquely flavored and served in a handmade waffle cone. Don’t skip and just get a bowl you were really miss out… this waffle cone was craft made, and handed to us still warm!!! with scrumptious fresh made ice cream I personally had the Marionberry cobbler ice cream it was so good!!!!

This review was long overdue! Came here a few weeks back after doing some shopping and was a little intimidated by how long the line was, but seems to be expected on a weekend. I was surprised with how fast the line was moving. The staff were so nice and accommodating! I was helped out by someone named Viv and no matter how long the line was she made the experience personable. Definitely will be coming back the ice cream was amazing but the service? 10/10!

Pretty good for a vegan! Vegan flavors could be creamier but also didn’t have that nutty undertone that many places do. The thanksgiving flavors are much appreciated. Serving sizes weren’t overly crazy either. Would come back!

This is my first time at salt and straw and it was so good ! What was even better was the customer service. They let me try whatever I wanted and never made me feel rushed. It’s so hard to find service like this and whoever trained these employees is doing the damn thing! 10/10 would recommend, and while your there, grab a waffle cone! They’re fresh!

This is some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had! Im from Chicago and I can most closely compare it to Jeni’s ice cream! Its creamy and rich and packed with flavor! They definitely have some creative and unique flavor profiles! Because of that, I wish that we could sample them! However they do give you a pretty generous mini scoop over your ice cream to sample other flavors! I will say that their waffle bowl/cone is TOO sweet, it would taste much better if they bought the sugar down a little! Otherwise, the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough flavor is to die for! Definitely give it a try!!

It’s $16 for two single scoop ice creams in a cone but take my money!!! It’s sooooo good and worth it. I absolutely love their ice cream and I always look forward to coming here when I’m in LA. I wish I had a location near me. I love the honey lavender, cinnamon snickerdoodle and creamy coffee flavor. The blackberry birthday cake is good and I also liked their pear and blue cheese. They’re always so creative with their concoctions. One of a kind!

Ordered pick up from Louise's Trattoria a couple doors down and it wasn't ready yet and I couldn't help but to stop by and grab a milkshake. Awesome service as always, allowing me to try many different flavors so that I can decide what three flavors I want for my milkshake and I decided to go with Banana Bread w/ strawberry jam (I was informed it has alcohol in it, not sure what kind,) Oishii brand Strawberry Pretzel Salad, and then Wild-Foraged Berry Slab Pie! Milkshake 5/5 Consistency is always on point, not too thick, not too runny. This combination was AMAZING and unfortunately I'll probably never get to have it again since the flavors were either last chance or seasonal limited time flavors :( I'll keep coming back here and I'll leave with a shake every single time. No other place can match the consistency of their shakes and no other place has as many unique flavors as salt & straw. Pull up! Grab a shake, grab a cone or just sample some flavors :)

After walking around the Galleria. We wanted some ice cream, because why not? They offer samples of any of their gelato creations. They even use actual spoons and not the cheap plastic throw away shovel ones. They have multiple spoon chutes to return the used spoons, which I've never seen before. They have a lot of different interesting combinations. Some weird ones like blue cheese, rhubarb, black pepper and others. But they also had some that looked really good too. I got 2 scoops, including, their lavander honey and their strawberry and coconut water. It was creamy and thick. Each one had its own unique flavors. Price wise considering we were in a bougie area with Rolls Royce and Bentleys being parked by guys in suits it was not bad. $8.50 for a double scoop. The guy working behind the counter was super nice and patient (take some notes Il Gusto of West Covina). A pleasure to order from him.

When someone first told me to try the Pear & Blue Cheese flavor at Salt & Straw, I thought they were joking. Cheese? In ice cream?? Absolutely not. But one bite later, and now it's my monthly guilty pleasure--I'm officially converted. It's creamy, funky, sweet, and somehow makes sense in the weirdest, most magical way. Every spoonful feels like a plot twist. We still love trying all their seasonal and limited-edition flavors (because FOMO), but nothing beats the chaos and perfection of Pear & Blue Cheese. At this point, it's a tradition to bring all our out-of-town guests here just to see their reaction. And like me, they end up weirdly obsessed.

Love that you may try many different ice cream samples before settling on your final choices. I tried Cinnamon Snickerdoodle and chocolate gooey brownie. Both were rich and fabulous!

Ummm yes! All the rumors are true! This is THE place for fantastic ice cream and service. The lavender honey & strawberry tres leches flavors were the stars for me after tasting my heart out. But, you truly can't go wrong here. Cheers!

New menu alert! For January, they rolled out their vegan specials (dairy-free), and I had to try them. I went with Death by Chocolate Cake and Marionberry Oatmeal Cobbler--both were delectable. The chocolate was hands down my favorite--rich, flavorful, and straight-up decadent. If you're a chocolate lover, this one is a must. The oatmeal cobbler was on the lighter side in terms of flavor, but the Marionberry really pulled everything together for a nice balance. I love stopping by Salt & Straw to see what new flavors they're featuring. They always bring something creative to the menu, and it never disappoints!

Love salt and straw! I love how creative they get with their flavors. My favorite Limited Edition series is the cereal flavors. This salt and straw is very close to where I live and is my go to whenever I am craving a quick dessert. The staff are so friendly and VERY patient because depending on the flavors being offered I take time to try each one to make sure I choose the right flavors. The vibe of the space is great since the staff are amazing and they always have great music playing.

They are currently offering popular flavors from "the cookbook series". The strawberry tres leches and the vanilla custard were my top favorites. The staff were nice and willing to help you try out the various flavors they offer. Thankfully there wasn't a line so it was quick getting my ice cream of my choosing.

loved the sea salt and caramel ice cream!! The lavender ice cream was also a great one to taste, will certainly get that one next, completely unexpected flavor but well worth the new experience. And who doesn't love an over cream shop that offers pup cups?!

It's always a good time to get ice cream in my house, so when we were driving home and passed by this Salt & Straw location I knew destiny was falling. This small shop is part of a larger chain that I once had in Las Vegas, but the first time I got it I wasn't completely blown away so I was ready to give it another go. This location is super charming when you walk in and are greeting by some super cool bags, hats, and other random merchandise. The staff here were all super friendly and super quick to get us our scoops. For flavours, I ended up going with one scoop of the Chocolate Gooey Brownie and another that I honestly can't remember the name of, but it was something along the lines of mint Oreo. Let me tell you, Salt & Straw definitely redeemed themselves on this visit and both flavours were absolutely delicious. The mint Oreo had the perfect blend of Oreo cookies and mint while the chocolate gooey brownie lived up to its name, super duper gooey. Overall, this Salt & Straw location won me over and I'll definitely be back in the future. The staff was kind, the ice cream was delicious, and the neighborhood looks like a fun place to walk around. I'll definitely be back in the future! Chocolate Gooey Brownie

Came here with my partner after a date night we were craving dessert ! The wait wasn't bad at all we got our ice cream pretty fast ! I like how there is different flavors of ice cream that I have never heard of before! +Love the dim lighting in here, I hate bright lights!

Shyla is so helpful! I recommend the strawberry tres leches flavor! I also am a fan on the cinnamon snickerdoodle flavor too!

Excellent. Just the way that I remembered. I tried the honey lavender and olive oil. Both flavors were good, decided to go with lavender since it tasted a little lighter.

I love salt & straw, most specifically this location. Do not be intimidated by the line as it typically moves very fast. The staff are also super happy to each try flavors before making your choice. The seasonal ice cream flavors are definitely must try. With a rotating seasonal menu and go to staples; this place has it all. My favorite has to be the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough. And I typically will get a split scoop with that flavor and one of the seasonal flavors. The waffle cup and or waffle cone are always the perfect addition to the sweet treat. I also like the grab and go options as they have pints to go right by the door .

The ice cream here is delicious!! Their regular menu is unique and great and their seasonal specials are even more exciting. Honey lavender and goat cheese variations are my go-to picks. The staff is very nice and overall a great dessert option for my friends and family. The only problem I've had recently was that our waffle cones were so not fresh and soggy. We went a little after 6pm and it was not too crazy busy, so I don't know why the quality of the 3 waffle cones that we paid extra for were served that way. Hopefully, they do a better job next time.

I've been meaning to try this place for so long! Came to this specific location before 10 pm on a Tuesday. There were parking spots open along the street but surprisingly a good amount of people in the shop. The inside is small and there are some benches outside to sit at. The employees all were so friendly and kind. They let me, my boyfriend, and my little brother try as many flavors as we wanted. The selection was pretty interesting, not as expansive as Wanderlust but just as unique. I decided to try the strawberry balsamic with black pepper, the olive oil, and the peach & blue cheese. I really really enjoyed the peach & blue cheese so I got 1 scoop on a waffle cone. I wouldn't get a waffle cone again because the scoops are gigantic!! It is like $6 for 1 scoop but totally worth it since they give you so much. My brother got the honey lavender and the white chocolate almond (holiday flavor) while my boyfriend got a milkshake with honey lavender and pumpkin bread ("last scoop" previous season flavor). The milkshake comes with 3 scoops that you can mix and match. I was tempted to get one but it would probably be way too much for me. I don't think I would really get anything else but the peach & blue cheese out of their signature flavors. I do wish they had more fruity options that aren't sorbet. I'll be sure to check back for their seasonal flavors!

def one of my favorite ice cream shops!! they offer unique flavors (olive oil, everything bagel, pear&blue cheese) and it's on the quirkier spectrum of ice creams. shop is small and good for takeout occasions. there's no seating inside and minimal seating outside.the workers were kind enough to offer samples and recommend best-sellers/their favorites.

It's really hard to find good artisan ice cream and salt & straw is one of the few that is consistently good! My go to flavors are the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough and gooey brownie! And always get the cone! Their waffle cones are to die for. Ice cream is packed with flavors and hits that sweet spot! Service is always good even when they're busy with customers. The servers are always bubbly and are always willing to give samples and their opinion about new flavors! Definitely check it out if you're in the area

You'd be hard pressed to find any faults with Salt & Straw. They have amazing flavors, great service and even a bit of sidewalk seating. If anything, you may be annoyed with the long line that is ever present at this location. But that's just a testament to the deliciousness that is Salt & Straw. I've been to many locations but this one is closest to my home base so pop in from time to time. Parking can be rough as its located on the hot strip in Larchmont. But there is street parking and a lot across the street, so just keep your eyes peeled to eventually find something. As mentioned, you'll be met with a long line. But it moves pretty well and the staff is so darn friendly that your annoyance of a line will quickly dissipate. Plus it gives you time to peruse their menu board! They have a bunch of standard flavors, but also insanely creative and crazy one off flavors. Right now they have summer picnic flavors. The fried chicken is weird and fun to taste, as is the sour cherry pie. I wouldn't get a full bowl of it but the Baked Brie & Fig Cheesecake is calling my name, beckoning me to come back soon to give it a try. Highlights of their classics for me are the Sea Salt w.Caramel, Double Fold Vanilla, Chocolate Gooey Brownie, Malted Cookie Dough, Pear & Blue Cheese and Mint Chocolate Chip. Admittedly that's most of the menu but I love everything I try here. I really like getting their ice cream flavors in milkshake flavors, too, not just scoops. Then you can have the flavors in an even more creamy consistency plus save some for later! Clearly S.S. [me] is a fan of S&S.

Super yummy and unique flavors. Probably not for the picky eaters, but a true delight for the foodies and elevated palates. I always bring all my friends here when they visit from out of town and they love it too. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating even when I try 8 flavors back to back before deciding which I'd like. Highly recommend!

Ambiance: clean ice cream store, located in the center of a very busy street with tons of restaurants Service: super friendly and patient with questions Food: classic flavors and limited editions for ice cream Compartes Coffee Love Nuts - *** average taste Pear & Rine Cheese - *** unique taste Black Olive Brittle & Goat Cheese - **** bold and salvor flavors, recommend Price: great quality and reasonable prices, expect less than $10 per order

Top 3 ice cream shops in the city and that's saying something. The staff is very lovely here.

Easy, convenient, and great taste as always. Love the ambiance of Larchmont. The line wasn't too long and moved quickly. The employees were nice and patient as we decided on flavors.

My first taste of Salt and Straw was in Portland and fell in love with craft ice cream. We went twice, hours apart... then the staff told us that there's a location in Los Angeles. Wow, we been missing out! I won a tasting at one of their locations and was able to sample each flavor. What a treat! My all time favorite is the Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache (was a classic and unfortunately, became a seasonal flavor during the pandemic), and my second fav is the Cold Brew Coffee Cashew Praline. Anyways, they provide super friendly customer service, and service is fast!

Salt & Straw is definitely my favorite ice cream spot. My brother (a Salt & Straw enthusiast!) introduced me to the spot a while ago, so we make it a point to go when he's in town. I love the unique flavors they offer and look forward to seeing what they come out with every month. I thoroughly enjoyed trying the November flavors, as they have been some of my favorite monthly flavors. I highly recommend coming here when you're looking for a fun sweet treat! Some of my favorite classic flavors are Olive Oil, Honey Lavender, and Sea Salt with Caramel ribbons. I usually end up getting the Kid's scoop, as I find it to be the perfect size. The service is fantastic at every location, no matter how busy the place is. The workers are all so friendly and helpful. The shop gives pretty standard ice cream shop vibes. I will definitely continue to keep coming back!

Ah yes some of the best ice cream in la! Tons of awesome rotating flavors you can even try before you buy. They had a bunch of cereal specials when I went I loved the lucky charms one! Also the resees puff one is so delicious! Will be coming back.

A great ice cream shop that makes non traditional flavors. I have been to multiple locations of theirs and it's consistently good. They have unique flavors like pear and blue cheese or honey and lavender. Ask for a sample! Ice cream is good but prices are a bit steep and have only gotten more expensive in the last year. But we all need to treat ourselves every now and then and why not with some delicious ice cream?!

Read all the great Yelp reviews and stopped in today after lunch in Korea Town. Sabrina is the best! She was patient and kind, gave us samples of many flavors. My friend and I had never been here and they have so many awesome and unique flavors. We finally settled on our flavors, I got mine in a waffle bowl, perfect size for one scoop. She actually split my scoop into two different flavors. The ice cream is delicious and nice portions. Parking is 75 cents for 30 minutes in the lot next door. I'm glad we stopped in. Sabrina definitely made the experience exceptional!

Don't blink or you might miss it since it's kind of hard to see in between the other establishments on the street. There is metered parking all around and there's a parking lot but I'm not sure if they charge for parking. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, when I walked in there were people ordering and my turn came very quick. A nice gal took my order (double Sea salt with caramel ribbon on a waffle cone) and I was in and out in no time. As I walked down the street pass everyone they envied me walking with my giant two scoops of ice cream as it melted in the sun, it was so good.

There was not a line and I felt very rushed by the staff. It was almost like they wanted to get me out of there. 2 of 4 of the flavors my group had were icy like they had freezer burn. I prefer other salt and straw locations.

This is my 2nd time at Salt&Straw, the first being in Portland, OR years back. The flavor options have only improved! This time, tried my hand at the pear and bleu cheese! (who woulda thunk it!? ...for ice cream!) It was amazing! No complaints. The folks behind the counter were very friendly and generous! There's some seating outside also. I LOVE that the tasting spoons are not reusable plastic! YES! ...just a word of caution (nothing to do w Salt&Straw) but along N. Larchmont if you go at night, beware of the tree cockroaches. They blend right in.

Their Honey Lavender is one of my favorite ice creams ever. It's so creamy and has such a nice floral taste without it being too subtle or overpowering. It's fragrant enough for lavender lovers but not too much for those that think it might taste too much like perfume. Parking here can be difficult but there is a parking lot across the street that's $1/hr and max 2 hrs or you can find metered parking.

Salt and straw is known for their weird combos but they're not all great. I usually go for something normal and it's pretty good but maybe a bit overhyped!

S & S gets it right every time. Delicious ice cream and friendly staff. I've yet to try a flavor of theirs that doesn't rock my world.

I've always had a positive experience with staff and ice cream. Sad they no longer make my favorite flavor, but they always have so many awesome ones to choose from. Seasonal ones can be hit or miss. All the year round ones are great. With that being said, I'd like to assume something happened because I came at 1030pm and the doors were locked and staff didn't want to make eye contact. Or unfortunately, closed earlier when they shouldn't have. Took my business elsewhere tonight.

My favorite ice cream place! Ugh I'm obsessed with their chocolate gooey brownie flavor. I try to buy a pint whenever I can. But today I decided on the jasmine milk tea and sheesh it was soooo goooood. Been coming to salt&straw since forever and I'll never get tired of it. There's also just something so life giving about walking around in the sun with a delectable ice cream in your hand (:

I liked their ice cream very different flavors but very good overall all. Tried it the first time in Portland on vacation then saw another location in Washington and went again.very yummy

This place is so cool. Crazy, interesting, and delicious flavors. Friendly and helpful employees.

I came in a late Friday night it was about 10:30pm and I said what ice cream place is open late . Luckily I checke don't Yelp and Salt & straw was close to me so I came in for my favorite flavor . Considering I was taking a pint to go I just walked in and went straight to the fridge and picked out my favorite flavor then straight to the register . I parked at the Wells Fargo considering I wasn't going to be around long . Now I am enjoying my yummy ice cream . Such a cute establishment by the way !!! Can't wait to come back .

Salt and straw never misses! Hard to find an ice cream chain to top this one. Can never get bored of their flavors because they are constantly rolling out new seasonal flavors as well as their classic -- cold brew coffee cashew praline is my favorite. Their ice cream is not overly sweet and doesn't get heavy the more you eat. The perfect creaminess and texture with mix-ins. Free samples. Generous scoops. Love opting for half scoops to try more flavors. Split scoop: $5.75 + 0.50

I wanted to try this place ever since it first opened, but the location deterred me from coming here. Horrible parking, traffic, long lines, etc. Over the years I saw several other locations pop up, but none of them are conveniently located. I finally decided to try it today since I was already near this area. Since this is the first location it opened outside of Portland, figured this would be the best location to try. Got here around 3:45 p.m. today (Saturday) and wasn't that busy, although there was a steady flow of people coming in and out. It's a fairly small location and doesn't seem to have an option to eat inside, so it's best to just grab and go. The flavors here are definitely unique, almost to the point of being weird and wacky, although nothing really surprises me anymore. It offers classic flavors, and limited edition flavors, which change frequently. Right now it has The Friendsgiving Series, which is Thanksgiving inspired flavors. I ordered two flavors from each category. Cold Brew Coffee Cashew Praline (classic flavor) is the one I got for myself, but was my least favorite. I was hoping for a stronger coffee flavor, but was rather weak, and didn't really get the cashew praline flavor either. My wife got the Pear & Blue Cheese (classic flavor), which was surprisingly good. I wasn't too sure about this combination but the sweet and savory combination worked perfectly together. It had real chunks of pear, and sweetness was accentuated by blue cheese. The flavors I chose for my kids were actually better than the ones my wife and I ordered. Candied Walnut Cheesecake (limited edition flavor) was my favorite. It had rich cheesecake flavor, combined with walnut butter graham cracker crumble to give it a nice contrasting texture and flavor. It also had subtle hints of caramel and molasses. Sweet Potato Pie with Double Baked Almond Streusel (limited edition flavor) was buttery and rich. It had real chunks of sweet potato in the ice cream. It was pretty much like eating a sweet potato pie in ice cream form. Current price ranges between $4.35 (kids size) and $7.75 (double scoop). You can also purchase a pint for $12.50, or $14.75 for a flight sampler. Didn't see any option for free parking in this area. It's either metered parking or paid parking lot.

Best location of S&S. They never run out of waffle cones, and everyone is always nice no matter how many samples you try! Lol

I'm a big fan of ice cream and I'd heard of Salt & Straw a while ago. My friend and I had eaten next door and decided to stop by for dessert! They have so many unique flavors. Staff were friendly and they also have vegan alternatives which is nice to see.

Cute ice cream shop inside the Larchmont shops area. There's no room for seating so it's a grab n go. The service was very kind and patient, they let you try many free samples. They had a lot of unique flavors and even pet flavors. The ice cream tastes great and is worth a visit. You can park on the streets towards the end of the shops or the residential area. It's a nice walk up n down with many shops and farmers markets.

This is a Larchmont village gem . Folks come from far and wide to grab a taste of the Salt and Straw deliciousness and combination of flavors.

This place was so delicious! If you have ever had handles ice cream, it's hard to beat them but this place has them. The flavors they have are so unique! My favorite is the snickerdoodle. You can taste the creamy knees and chunks of cookie. So good. Definitely one of my top favorite places now! This is a MUST try place

Salt and Straw is a must-visit for any ice cream enthusiast! I'm giving it a solid 4 stars.

This is a gem. Glad I love close enough to come here regularly. It's on the larchmont strip filled with restaurants and shops. It gets very busy in the evening and weekends. Great service: you're welcomed and addresses as soon as you come in. Staff is friendly and helpful. The ambiance is clean and familiar just like all the other locations. NO indoor or outdoor seating, only a bench out front unfortunately. The homely lavender is by far the best flavor. It's a staple, the have some interesting flavors...the salty ones are all good but the sweet ones I enjoy more. Price: C+ pricey...shakes are 10.50 Ambiance: B Service: A Quality/food: A

Best ice cream on larchmont. Favorite is peanut butter and lavender. Not together. They give you flavors to taste. Lines can be long in summer. No seating inside and limited outside.
