Salt & Straw

Another fantastic visit to @saltandstraw! Their unique and creative flavors never disappoint. Today I tried the chocolate &peanut butter crunch and it was SO good! ❤️ So happy to have such a wonderful family-owned business in Midtown Sacramento.

My first time visiting this place and I was very impressed. They have creative and original ice cream flavors and let you try samples (using real spoons, which I appreciated.) I got the salted, malted, chocolate chip cookie dough and was very pleased. The flavors were expansive and the ice cream was creamy (as opposed to the last place I went which was icy). They also have some pup cups available for those who like to spoil their fur babies. Staff were welcoming and friendly. I think I have found my new ice cream place for when I have my next craving :)

We visited here from Utah and wish we could get a salt and straw near us. The honey lavender was so good and the sea salt caramel was the best we have ever had. We love that they offer both gluten free and dairy free options too. This was a random find while we were looking for a sweet treat and they did not disappoint. The workers were all very friendly and helpful. We will be back the next time we end up in Sacramento or at any of their other locations.

This was our first time at Salt & Straw. It's a very nice clean store. The staff was super friendly. The flavors were a little too eclectic for me but they tested ok.

In a word: unusual. The ice cream flavors here are definitely different and the owner has achieved what was the focus. One can sample any and all of the flavors on the menu which actually rotates before ordering. The prices are pretty steep too and will set you back $6.25 for a single scoop. But, the scoops are pretty generous. Would I go back for a repeat? No. Salt and Straw does not have the kind of ice cream that I prefer and that is the old traditional flavors like butter pecan or orange sherbet!

You can taste so many unique flavors. I must have tried about 7! My favorite was Birthday cake and blackberry. They have seasonal flavors that are definitely worth a try!! So delicious. The people working there are so helpful and patient!

So many different combinations of ice cream we had no idea existed. Very refreshing and tasty!

Incredibly unique flavors! I had a delicious strawberry, honey, balsamic vinegar ice cream that went above the expectations. The customer service was top notch! Not your regular ice cream shop at all.

Came on President's day weekend around 5:000pm and it wasn't busy for a Monday. (Had ice cream for dinner, don't tell anyone one) One aspect that I love about Salt N Straw is the ability to taste the many flavors that they offer including the seasonal. For the month of February their seasonal theme is chocolate, and I was able to sample all of the seasonal creations! Shoutout to the person working. I ended up getting a scoop of the Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies and Cream, and the olive oil ice cream (split scoop) in a waffle cone. Which tasted amazing. I like how the chocolate ice cream was on the bottom of the cone instead of the top so that when I get o the end, I was just eating chocolate (reminds me of those frozen ice cream cones(iykyk) Childhood memories! Overall service and quality is A+, would highly recommend Salt N Straw to visitors and locals! Bonus they have a restroom for customers. That's hard to find for small ice cream shops.

I love salt & straw and got 2 pints to go earlier this week. I peeled back the seal and took a spoonful of the salted, malted, chocolate cookie dough when we got to our hotel and it was delicious. Left it on the counter for my husband to get some a few minutes later and he asked if they came in different sizes. I was confused and said no, just pints? He showed it to me and it was only 1/3 full, but a part of it was still flat near the top. That means it was packed at the top completely covering the opening, like it was filled with a big scoop that covered the whole top, then barely pushed in 1/3 of the way from the top instead of all the way to the bottom. The strawberry and coconut water sherbet was yummy and packed correctly/completely full. The staff were friendly and helpful. Just annoyed I spent $26 for 2 pints and only received 1 and 1/3 of a pint, if that.

I'm not sure how I forgot to write this review! Living less than 3 blocks away to Salt & Straw! Located on R street in an area called the ice blocks you will find an upscale ice cream shop! The flavors aren't normal flavors and they rotate! You can simple all the flavors! For the most part everyone working in SS has always been pretty nice! Sometimes you will run into someone who is kinda rude! The ice cream is really good though! A hot sunny Sacramento day is the best time to check this place out! They also have a fridge of pints you can buy and take home along with dog ice cream! $6.95 for a single scoop cone as of February 20-2025

We love the different flavors that Salt &Straw offers. We were in the area so wanted to see what they had for December. We were greeted right away and didn't have to wait long. The staff always offer information about the ice cream and you can taste using reusable spoons. We ordered half Gingerbread Cookie and Spiked Eggnog. Both were delicious.

I have been a big fan of Salt & Straw for years - ever since that first bite from the Downtown Disney location in Anaheim. My favorite flavor is their Lucky Charms ice cream, but I think it might only be available at that location. This location had flavors like Raspberry Tamales, Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper and Pear & Blue Cheese. They also offer ice cream cake and a Pup Cup! Anyways, I was very excited when I found out that a new location was added to the Ice Blocks downtown! I was finally able to stop in yesterday because I really wanted some kind of Peppermint ice cream. I walked in and noticed that they had a big freezer with to-go pints of ice cream so I grabbed their Toasted White Chocolate and Peppermint Almonds flavor as well as their Red One Series - Red's Cookie Platter with Eggnog Custard because my family and I are big fans of the movie! I also bought 2 waffle cones to use at home as well. There's no seating inside and it's kind of small, but staff were very friendly and they will give you as many samples as you'd like to try. I know their ice cream isn't for everyone, it's a bit bougie and pricy, but I enjoy unique ice cream flavors and it's nice to treat yourself every once and a while!

Despite how Gunther's is, and probably will always be, my go to ice cream shop in Sacramento, I have to admit it's hard to stay entirely exclusive to them. As much as I like them, it's rough having to endure those long wait times before I can get my hands on my sweet treat, especially whenever the weather starts to warm up. So, in that vein, thank goodness for this Salt & Straw! Even though it would've been nice to try some place unique to Sacramento, I was just happy there was a nearby alternative after seeing the insanely long line outside of Gunther's! Compared to their Hayes Valley location in SF that I've been to, this Salt & Straw is surprisingly small. Not that any of the others I've seen offer anything in the way of indoor seating either, but this place feels even smaller than any of those (for the record, there is a bunch of seating right outside). Almost immediately after you step inside, you're already at the counter to order. Once you do, it's a short walk to the register to pay and then you're on your way out. Although, you don't really need anything beyond some tasty ice cream to devour. Good thing that, between their menu of classic flavors and seasonal/limited edition offerings, there are plenty of interesting options to choose from! -- SEA SALT WITH CARAMEL RIBBONS Despite how much I generally like salted caramel, this didn't do it for me. I don't know if it was the ice cream itself, the sea salt, the caramel ribbons, or all of the above, but this left an odd sort of aftertaste in my mouth. Plus, it was also really, really sweet. -- SALTED, MALTED, CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH Compared to the Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons, this felt far more balanced - it had enough sweetness to offset the salted and malted elements yet it wasn't all that sugary. And, of course, it was filled with a fair amount of cookie dough! -- FRECKLED MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP Even though I've had this before, I couldn't resist getting it again. Quite simply, it's quite tasty overall, but in particular, I really like how the flavor has a lot of mint in it, but not to the point where it feels like I'm licking a ball of toothpaste. Across all three of the flavors (and the ones I've tried before), the complexion of the ice cream itself has always been great. While it's not as good as those that are made in comparatively smaller batches, like Gunther's, the consistency has a nice bit of creaminess to it and it didn't have any ice crystals in them. As far as service goes, it's been pretty solid every time we've been here - the workers are patient and accommodating with customers as they figure out what flavors to get, and there's a good energy among all of them (they all look like they're in college). While Salt & Straw may be starting to drifting from foodie spot towards chain status, much like Shake Shack, they're still far from the likes of Baskin-Robbins and Coldstone. Besides just being tastier, there's no comparison that the flavors here are both more unique and more interesting, even if the ones I've tried are all of the more "classic" variety. Regardless, I'll definitely be back!

We came here on a Monday night after dinner at Mas Tacos. We just walked to and from as it was a nice stroll. There were 3 other parties in front of us, so we opted to wait outside the door for a bit. As soon as we entered, we were greeted right away. The nice worker complimented my ring and immediate brownie points LOL. We sampled a few limited-time flavors and wow, the vegan options this month are so on point! I couldn't choose just one flavor, so I opted to do a split scoop of the coconut & pineapple limited-time flavor and the olive oil (my favorite). I wish there was a counter or a few small tables to sit at, as it was super chilly that evening and would've been nice to sit and eat our ice cream before walking back to our car. So nice to finally have a salt and straw in sac!!

This is hands down my favorite ice cream spot in Sacramento. They have some of the most unique flavor combos--things you wouldn't even think to put together--but somehow, they just work. My two go-to flavors? The Malted Cookie Dough and the Salted Caramel. Cookie dough ice cream has always been my favorite ice cream, and I love their twist on it by making it malted. The cookie dough texture is softer than what I usually prefer, but the flavors make up for it. They do add fudge, which I like but don't love, and if I could make one tiny request, it would be for a version with a salted caramel ribbon instead of fudge. Now that would be next-level. And then there's the Salted Caramel--pure buttery, creamy perfection. It literally melts in your mouth like a sweet, salty, caramely dream. I could eat this every single day. It's that good. I would show you pictures of the Cookie Dough ice cream, but, um... I devoured it before I even thought of taking one. I did manage to snap a pic of the Salted Caramel, though. The shop itself is small but cozy, and the smell of their fresh-made waffle cones hits you the second you walk in. You can sample the flavors before deciding, but let's be real--who's leaving with just a scoop? Not me. I'm a pint person. A couple pints, actually. No judgment, please. When I say I eat this ice cream, I eat this ice cream all the time. Highly recommend this place--just be warned, it's dangerously good.

Tried from Portland, SF, and now Sac. Always great flavors. Enjoy the seasonal flavors. Make their own waffle cones too. No indoor seating but there are a few tables outside to sit at. Single scoop ~ 4 oz Kids is ~ 2 oz Can split single into two flavors but not kids

A great line-up in the "Sacramento has awesome ice cream" conversation. It's high-quality ingredients (paired with some super out-there flavors) make it a must stop. Pro-tips: - Make sure you get some samples. In my opinion some of the flavors are wild enough that just a spoonful is enough. - Don't forget to check out the freezer case for cakes, prepackaged pints, and even dog treats!

Man oh man is this place good. Small inside but very cute decor and the staff is super nice. Don't feel afraid to ask to try and flavor, they're more than happy to let you try it. The different combinations may have you feeling leery but trust me when I say THEY WORK!!! I highlyyyyyy recommend trying this place.

Came to Salt & Straw for a late night treat, and it did not disappoint! I love that they're serving scoops until 11pm every night, especially on weekday evenings when options seem far and few between. When I arrived around 10pm, there was no line and counter service asked if I'd like to sample anything. I sampled two flavors: one from the monthly menu and the other from the last chance menu. I tried the Blackberry Tamales from the Halloween Series (October menu) and Monkish Space Cookies and Cream made with Hazy IPA from the Brewers Series (September menu). The Space Cookies and Cream surprised me the most, as I felt like I was literally drinking a beer! Salt & Straw has some of the wackiest and most original flavor combinations, and I tend to order off the monthly menu; however, tonight I stuck with the classics. I ordered a split scoop cup of Chocolate Gooey Brownie and Cinnamon Snickerdoodle. It was the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, and it was also reminiscent of a brookie (brownie and cookie) which I loved. You can't go wrong when you order here, just be sure to try a scoop or two before you commit!

I was craving ice cream for dessert one weekday evening and decided I wanted to try something new. I decided to check out Salt & Straw after seeing a post about their Halloween limited edition flavors on their instagram page. It is still hot in Sac & clearly ice cream weather because when I arrived the line was out the door and wrapped around the side of the building. Although the line was long, the wait time wasn't too bad and the workers were efficient; serving everyone in a timely, friendly manner. I really love how one can sample as many flavors as they desire. I definitely sampled 3 other flavors prior to settling on the Jack o' Lantern Pumpkin Bread flavor. I'm a sucker for all things pumpkin spice during the fall so this flavor definitely did not disappoint and satisfied my pumpkin spice cravings! The flavor included pumpkin spiced ice cream with a good amount of pumpkin bread chunks & whipped cream cheese frosting. I ordered one scoop of ice cream and had it in their seasonal pumpkin spiced waffle cone. The waffle cone was not too sweet and it really did pair nicely with the ice cream flavor. The ice cream definitely had that home made taste. The flavor reminded me of a spiced chai latte with a touch of sweetness. The texture was creamy and delicious. The generous scoop of ice cream left me satisfied. It was a crowded evening and most of the tables out front were full, so I ended up enjoying my ice cream in the car while people watching. Salt & Straw's flavors rotate regularly so it's best to check out the Instagram page to see what unique, flavors they currently have on the menu.

I really enjoy coming here and trying all the samples of their rotating flavors. Although I always brave the wild combinations, the coffee and love nuts never ever fails to be my favorite. I am a coffee ice cream lover at heart but the additional crunch and slight sprinkle of saltiness really wrap it all up into a scoop of deliciousness. I also love me a waffle cone but just recently found out they also sell waffle cone pieces if you don't want a whole one! Might do this next time as the cone can be a lot if I'm not too hungry.

Really yummy icecream and fun selection of flavors! Love the location of the store! Brightmoon was awesome and helped us with flavor recommendations!

I always have a good experience at Salt & Straw. There's usually a line, but it moves at a decent pace. It's understandable since everyone wants to sample the unique flavors! I recently had a pumpkin flavor which was good, though I've yet to have one flavor that really blew my mind. It's definitely on the pricier side for ice cream, but they do use quality ingredients and it's in a prime location.

The brewers series, limited edition, ice cream flavors are on point. Some friends and I decided to meet up at salt and straw as a celebratory way to end a very long summer conference. My elbow partner mentioned the special summer Brewers series, limited edition ice cream flavors that are blended with Summer brew. I had to check it out. I sampled, dropped the spoon in the slot, then quickly, in my dismay, ordered a single scoop of Monkish's Space Cookies & Cream Hazy IPA ina cup. How unique and unusual to marry the bite of an IPA with a sweet smooth creamy cold ice cream. . . And yes the alcohol is there and it's for real.

This ice cream shop had so many unique ice cream flavors to choose from. I ended up trying the Apple vs Pumpkin Pie - tasted like cinnamon-y ice cream with small bits of apple & chunks of pumpkin pie filling. It kinda felt like there was too much pumpkin pie chunks in it, which made it kinda rich to eat, but overall I did enjoy it. The inside of the shop was super clean, the staff were super nice & they had pints to-go too. It also had a bunch of umbrella tables outside to sit at. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors!

Mine and my family's new favorite place to grab ice cream in Sacramento! Located near the ice blocks on R street behind the Safeway but before the Shake Shack, this fun spot would be hard to miss if not for the line of patrons spilling out the door. Fret not, the line moves quickly! The workers here are always friendly and informative about the constant rotation of new flavors. I've been twice and the first time I ordered a waffle cone with two scoops but they pile it on and it was more than I could handle. The second time I did a single scoop in a cup and it satisfied my craving. Finding parking can be a bit of a hassle but it's downtown Sacramento. Check out their vegan (V) options. Dairy free is how I've been trying to live now that I'm older. Having great alternatives that taste like the real thing is a fun luxury. With summer on the way I fully expect my family and I to be regular's here.

Love salt and straw! I was born and raised in sf so salt & straw is nothing new to me. I love getting chocolate gooey brownie mixed with something else. Before I would mix it with their creamy strawberry but I haven't seen that at any location in a while so I try different flavors to see what a good mix would be! Line wasn't bad when we got there but was really long after we finished paying. I love that we can try the flavors because they have some pretty unique ones that can surprise you. I've tried their hazy ipa in the past and it tasted like one but better than the way the drink tastes. Hard to explain. They current have an apple series and you should most definitely try it!! I'm a little picky so I didn't love any of them.

I love Salt & Straw, I've had it several times in the bay but it was my first time trying it at the Sacramento location with my friends. When you first walk in, it smells amazing! I love the interior of the store, it feels so cozy. I tried the Olive Oil Ice Cream which was absolutely delicious. I thought it was an interesting flavor, however I really enjoyed that olive oil taste. The workers were super friendly and patient.

I can't believe it took me so long to try Salt & Straw in Midtown. The ice cream shop is located on R Street in the Ice Blocks. I was craving something cold and sweet and ice cream was the best choice for the day. The menu was on a board outside and also inside on signage above the counter. There were limited edition flavors available from a Brewer's Series. I knew immediately one of these would be my selection for the day. There was also a nice list of classic flavors. You are able to sample flavors before making any decision. For my tasting I was given a real metal mini spoon. There was a spot to place the used spoons in a hole in the counter, towards the lower lefthand side. I like that they are considerate of the environment and using reusable spoons. I prefer my ice cream in a cup so that's what I ordered. A family member wanted to try some too but she chose a waffle cone. I asked if it would be possible to have it also put in a cup for easier transport. The employee easily accommodated this request. There were a number of employees taking orders so they were able to provide service to multiple parties at one time. I chose the Breakside's Barrel-Aged Chocolate Stout. It had a rich and well-developed flavor. I couldn't believe how great this creation was because it truly tasted like a pint of beer. The other flavor I selected to take home was the Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. The flavor combination sounded epic. I was pleasantly surprised (of course I had to try it too) when the salt, malt, and sweetness all came through in a balanced flavor. The waffle cone was crispy and helped up to the ice cream just fine. I thought that the cone holder near the register was a well-thought out fixture. Maybe they are always at ice cream shops but I noticed and appreciated the extra assistance. I will be back to try some of the other classic flavors and keep an eye out for new limited series releases.

Salt & Straw is so much more than your average ice-cream stop. The menu is always bursting with new, fun flavor combinations to try - it's a spot I will never get bored of! When I'm not trying a new flavor, I'm opting for the Olive Oil ice cream, which is creamy sweet goodness. Service is friendly and quick, which is a huge plus given the inside of the store doesn't have a lot of extra space. If you're thinking of going here, just go! You won't be disappointed.

I just love everything here. The shaved ice is good, samples of ice cream is also awesome. The staff is always so nice and friendly.

Salt and straw is one of my go to ice cream places! I love that they rotate in new monthly flavors and that they offer samples! I always feel bad asking for sample since most of the time I try the monthly or seasonal flavors I'm not a big fan of them. My go to classic flavor is chocolate gooey brownie! For the month of July, their monthly flavor theme is berries berries berries. I tired the birthday cake and blackberries flavor and it was amazing! My new favorite! I always get a kiddie scoop, which is the perfect size for me. They have free sugar cones. However, if you get a regular scoop they'll have to put it in a cup with the cone on top if you want the cone (cone is too small for the regular scoop size). Parking can be a little changing but the friendly staff and delicious flavors make up for it! Perfect treat for this heat!

Service was great! The person working was so open to letting my group of 5 try flavors around figure out what we want. The big flavor for us was Almond crunch (can't remember the exact name). It's a cute shop in the shopping center by Safeway. But there is no seating at the shop. We got our ice cream and walked to Anthropologie around the corner. It's worth the calories!

I visited Salt & Straw on Friday, 3/15/24, around 9:30 PM. Upon arrival, there was a huge line outside of the establishment. However, it moved fairly quickly due to the fast service from staff members. I decided to order a milkshake with these ice cream flavors: 1) Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 2) Chocolate Gooey Brownie, and 3) Vanilla. The milkshake was blended to perfection and tasted deliciously amazing! I truly enjoyed it so much. Salt & Straw has great, unique ice cream flavors that are commendably wonderful. I recommend coming here for tasty ice cream scoops or milkshakes.

I have been wanting to try Salt & Straw ever since they opened a location on Rst in Sacramento. This location is small, no seating inside so you must sit outside in the heat on the table they provide for all their patrons. The service is quite slow so the line doesn't move quick as everyone is too busy getting free samples. Which makes sense, as all their flavors are different and new with no classic flavors. The ice cream itself is extremely creamy but not as flavorful as I would like. They have some of the best homemade waffle cones. Don't forget to add whipped cream to your double scoop waffle cone. Pricing is normal for 2024 and they also offer IPA flavors that rotate so come check them out if you haven't already!

Ice cream after brunch is always a good idea. The line moves quickly, even on busy days. Salt & Straw offers unlimited flavor tasting options, and their unique flavor combinations are mind-blowing. On this day, grilled peach with white chocolate was my favorite, while smoked macaroni and cheese was my least favorite. They also offer flavored edible perfume to spray on your ice cream for an added experience. Long story short, this ice cream parlor gets a 10 out of 10 for my multiple interactions at different locations.

My friends were looking for a place to hang out to continue our conversations after we spent nearly two hours at dinner. Thankfully, Salt & Straw was open until late so we could get dessert and talk some more. Parking was pretty easy in front. A huge party came after us so we were kind of glad we got there at the time that we did (9:15pm on a Friday night). I sampled some of the seasonal flavors: the Banana Fosters w/ Candied Pecans (v) and Marionberry Oatmeal Cobbler (v). Both were amazing flavors but I ended up getting half scoop of Banana Fosters and half scoop of my comfort flavor, Honey Lavender. I believe dividing a scoop into 2 flavors is extra 50¢ charge. It was $7 total. You can also buy pints from their freezer as well. Love Salt & Straw. Definitely could never go wrong!

Great place to get ice cream! The shop is very well kept up, the service was very quick and BrightMoon our server was very helpful. Also I really liked that their tasting straws were actual silverware instead of plastic

We were looking for dessert in the area and decided to give Salt & Straw a try since it was quite hot out. I had heard of this chain before and didn't think it was anything special, until I saw the flavors on offer. Apple and pumpkin pie? Balsamic strawberries? Corn and cotija?? I was blown away by the unique and interesting combinations, and the employees were enthusiastic about giving us samples. They make their own waffles, so I had to get a cone, and a single scoop was a very generous portion. I appreciated the outdoor seating with shade. The ice cream is a little salty--in a balanced way that I appreciate in desserts--but my friend got a little thirsty and an employee was kind enough to get me a cup of water. Great service, great product, and great location all at a fair price.

I go by this place all the time because it is located by safeway and the dog park. The line is always crazy so we never stopped by. Eating some ramin around the corner so we decided to grab some desert after. The line wasn't too bad. There are a ton of unique flavors to choose from. I can tell that they rotate different flavors depending on the season. We decided to go with the cinnamon snicker doodle scoop. It does come with a complimentary sugar cone but now I wish I went with the waffle cone. The ice cream was creamy but had a good texture. The snicker doodle pieces were great. I hate when you order a dough style ice cream and there isn't any dough pieces. They are also dog friendly and offer pupcups but they are 5$ I think so we passed. Overall a great spot to grab a quick scoop or two.

I usually stick to the classic flavors when Salt & Straw has seasonal holiday flavors because I don't like ice cream with pumpkin, spices, and mint. The Mom's Mango Pie (5 stars) did not have those ingredients as part of their Thanksgiving series, and I enjoyed it. I love dessert inspired ice cream flavors because of the mix of different flavors and textures. Each bite had various amounts of creaminess, sweet mangoes, and subtle crunch from the graham cracker crust. I tried the vegan Marionberry Coconut Sherbert (5 stars) before, but it tasted even better this time around. I liked the delicious sweet and slightly tart flavor of the marionberries. I'm glad we stopped by Salt & Straw. They always offer consistently good quality ice cream and unique flavor combinations. This location had 4 star service.

Went here after sushi for some carbo loading apparently. Never enough sugar. I thought this place was just some trendy overrated new spot but the line has stayed consistently long for a year now. It's gourmet ice cream. They have like lavender and crickets and stuff in there. I just stuck with the classic flavors. Each month they have five new flavors to try so of course I tried them all, couldn't decide, and tried more. And then I don't even remember which ones I bought but that they tasted good. It's seven bucks for two small kiddie scoops. These places with season flavors every week or month or whatever sure know how to keep customers coming in. Fortunately or not this place is local so I have an excuse to try free stuff every month and then pay for it with my wallet and waist. Hopefully my friends won't invite me again. Too good.

We had ice cream cravings and my son recommended we check out Salt & Straw. I've never been here before and was impressed that we can taste every flavor we wanted and the spoons were not plastic!! OMG.. the flavors I tasted are fantastic! Our server cautioned me that a scoop of the coffee flavor was equivalent to a cup of coffee. Now that's very thoughtful, I'm glad he told me. It's a pretty busy place but the line moved fast. Service is awesome. Perfect dessert for a summer evening. Would definitely come back!

Love salt and straw! Today was my first time at this location. Today I sampled their seasonal flavors and ultimately decided on the cinnamon and honey fried chicken and the grilled peach white chocolate custard. I got it as a split scoop and it was heavenly. I really love how the cinnamon and honey fried chicken flavor had the perfect ratio of cinnamon and the crunch from the fried chicken. With the peach flavor the peach jam/puree really shined through as well. Service was kind and efficient as always and they even gave me a free scoop for my birthday. Salt & Straw is always consistent with service and their flavors are next to none. Needless to say I will be back! Unfortunately there's also no seating inside but there is some outside.

Salt and straw is not for everyone. I have been here three times and still I'm on the fence. The last ice cream I tried was the strawberry honey balsamic with pepper, it was very interesting to say the least. It was like a party of different flavors & I imagine it would good on a salad. The location is in ice blocks in midtown. Friendly staff.,cute store but a little on the pricey side.

Ice cream was great. Very rich and full of flavor. Many different options of flavors you won't find elsewhere at other ice cream shops. They allow you to sample as many as you want until u decide. Staff was friendly and store was clean. They also sell pints to go.

Been here a couple of times and have a good experience. The ice cream is really good and the employees are really nice. So far, have tried the holiday ice cream. Will be coming back to try some of the other ice creams that they have.

I stopped by after dinner with girlfriends. I knew I was walking in the right direction when I saw the line. Fortunately, that gave us enough time to look at all the unique flavor options. The line did move pretty quickly. The servers were kind enough to let you taste test all the flavors you wanted before making a commitment. They had fun out of the Pistachio with Saffron and Rose Water, so I went for the Honey Lavender. It was very floral, but refreshing. I will definitely be back to try more flavors.

I had never heard of them until I stumbled upon them. They have some of the weirdest flavors oh so good!!!!! The place is small and is just the counter when you walk in. So you have to eat outside. The outside can be interesting depending on the day and who is wandering around that day. Staff is great, my most recent interaction there was only 1 lady working but she was very attentive. Greeted me as soon as I walked in and although she was helping someone else she addressed me and let me know she would be right with me. Cant beat that type of service nowadays. BONUS: They have pup cups for sale and my dogs LOVE them. It's so cool to be able to go and pick up a cold treat for the doggies to enjoy. TIP: Avoid the line and order ahead and just go to the pick up window!

It's almost mandatory that we get Salt & Straw anytime we see one. The ice cream is so good! I always go for the vegan option and my husband likes to try out all the fun new flavors!!

Delicious and unique flavors. The workers let you sample the flavors to make your decision and they don't seem annoyed about it at all. I was surprised how fast the line went. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating but no seating inside. Definitely pricey for ice cream, so be prepared to spend about $10 for a cone.

The ice cream flavors are def unique, some of which I just had to try! Keep an open mind when it comes to the blue cheese flavor; way better than it sounds! Also loved the super simple cookies & cream -- even though i'm a rocky road gal! the service was great, even for rush hour, and the ambiance was hitting. Although I could have used more seating. I will def circle back!

Went here yesterday at 5/29/24 for the first time. There was a line but it went by quick. I sampled 2 flavors and opted for the Chocolate Gooey Brownie. It definitely tasted like the description. Super chocolatey and brownie filled. I had a single scoop on a cup and the total was $6.50 before tip.

Sometimes you need to be bad and fill the stomach with ice cream and Salt and Straw is perfect for that. The seasonal flavors are great and my perennial favorites are the chocolate brownie and sea salt caramel.

Excited that they opened a salt and straw here in sac and finally I was able to try it! The shop is not too big so you can't really stay inside to eat, but you can always enjoy your ice cream outside. Normally when I pass by to check out other shops in the area, I don't see a line like other locations or maybe just the time that I'm in the area there never is one. When I did go to try this location, I went on a Friday evening before dinner and there was no line. The scoops are pretty decent in size in my opinion and was satisfied with a kids size. They do let you sample flavors and have a cut little spoon shoot. They have a bunch of limited seasonal flavors and unique every day flavors. Flavors I tried: Limited: pumpkin spice tiramisu -This flavor did taste more like a pumpkin pie. It was good but a bit too sweet for me in my opinion. Coffee and love -didn't have too strong of a coffee flavor but I did like the creamy texture and nutty mix that it had. Overall: great spot for the summer or when craving premium quality ice cream and love the unique flavors that they have!

When you hear of flavors such as. . . . . ---- Honey Lavender... Beecher's Cheese w/ Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls... Strawberry Honey Balsamic w/ Black Pepper... ---- IT'S A MUST VISIT..... We tried the "Honey Lavender" and it was delightful!!!!! So delicious. SO creamy. I can't wait to return and try the much anticipated Pear and Blue Cheese MMMM.....
