A New Souplantation Homage Draws Big Lines in Rancho Cucamonga | Eater LA

"On March 1, Salt & Straw brought back a cereal ice cream line called the Cereal-sly Delicious Series, created by co-founder Tyler Malek with flavors that combine childhood cereals and the brand’s ice cream—examples include peanut butter brownie cereal puffs, Cocoa Puffs and cold brew, and Cornflake cookies with marionberry jam—and the series was developed in partnership with the woman-founded cereal company OffLimits and can be shipped nationwide." - Mona Holmes

A Guide to the Best and Worst Vegan Ice Creams | Eater

"A rotating, highly creative nondairy lineup built on coconut cream produces smooth, creamy textures across adventurous, mix-in-heavy flavors (examples tried include marionberry coconut sherbet, freckled mint chip, chocolate salted caramel cupcake, banana blueberry crumble, and peanut butter brittle caramel fudge), with the peanut-butter brittle and mint-chip iterations standing out for balanced flavor and chip/textural proportion." - Rebecca Flint Marx

"Little Italy, once the center of San Diego’s tuna-fishing industry, is now the city’s prime culinary corridor. On India Street, among traditional Italian spots and fine-dining restaurants, this creative ice cream shop draws a steady stream of patrons. The head ice-cream maker Tyler Malek is a genius with unique flavor combinations such as bone marrow with smoked cherries and vegan peach and vanilla crumble. Salt & Straw has locations throughout the West Coast and each one showcases a special ice cream flavor using a local artisanal product. The San Diego shop’s Peanut Butter Stout with chocolate chicharrón, made using Belching Beaver’s Peanut Butter Milk Stout, is a must-order for its sweet and savory notes. The shop offers limited seating, so it’s best to take your cone or cup to go. Stroll down to the Waterfront or windowshop the boutiques on India and Kettner streets."
