Salt and Straw Will Open an Ice Cream Shop in Vancouver, Washington | Eater Portland

"I learned that Portland ice cream giant Salt & Straw will open a scoop shop at the Vancouver Waterfront in January 2024; CEO Kim Malek said they were "really inspired by what has been created at the waterfront," calling it "a wonderful gathering space" and saying they feel incredibly lucky to be a part of it. The company has a history of partnering with Washington-based businesses to create flavors — for example, a cinnamon and honey fried chicken flavor that included chicken fat–fried croissant bits and Cajun spices from Ezell’s Famous Chicken, and an apple pie cinnamon roll flavor that used Beecher’s Flagship Cheese in the ice cream base. Founded 12 years ago, Salt & Straw opened its first Washington location in Seattle in 2018 and plans to expand to Bellevue in early 2024; the Vancouver shop will be located at 740 Waterfront Way." - Janey Wong

I love this place the ice cream is always delicious here. The strawberry balsamic is wonderful rich and smooth. I also like the hazelnut and cream is my favorite flavor here. The honey lavender is nice not very strong. I decided to be adventurous and try the pair and blue cheese. I expected it to be awful but it was actually decent It wasn't bad at all It was sweet and kind of nice. The apple cider donut was all right. You're allowed to sample as many flavors as you like and they're always really sweet and kind about it here.

We arrived after 9 and there was a substantial line. However it moved rapidly. The three young women behind the counter were friendly and efficient. I had the honey lavender in a waffle cone and my wife had coffee and love nuts flavor in a cup. We both thought it to be phenomenal ice cream with unique flavor profiles. Everyone around the shop was having a great time and it was a good vibe. Don't miss out on this sweet treat!

This was one my first time to salt and straw and it absolutely blew me away! The line looked long, by the time I got there, it was all the way out of the store and a little back, but probably only waited 10-15 minutes. Once we got in the store we were set up with a wonderful lady who encouraged us to try many flavors before finally choosing one. She also would tell us a little fun fact about each Ice cream we got. Then the ice cream was wonderful as well! Some of the best chocolate and lavender ice cream. They have a bunch of other fun flavors too and will walk you through the experience!! 100% worth going!

Salt & Straw never disappoints, but the Vancouver Waterfront location is truly something special. I’ve visited many of their shops—from Portland to California—and this location easily has the most upbeat, friendly, and engaging staff I’ve encountered. The team here is always so helpful and patient, especially when it comes to sampling all the unique flavors. I really appreciate how they take the time to explain the flavor notes and share the craft behind each creation—it makes the whole experience feel thoughtful and personal. Their energy is contagious, and it genuinely enhances the joy of indulging in such creative, high-quality ice cream. Whether you’re a first-timer or a Salt & Straw regular, this spot will absolutely make your visit memorable.

I love this ice cream shop! Salt & Straw creates a new flavor series every month, and they're always happy to offer samples so you can find the perfect match for you. For me, it’s a true ice cream experience. I stopped by to try the May flavors and absolutely loved the Tres Leches Strawberry and the Crispy Chocolate. The cones are always fresh, and the ice cream is consistently top quality. Prices are similar to other shops, but what really sets Salt & Straw apart is how welcoming they are—no pressure, no judgment, just friendly staff who genuinely want you to enjoy your visit. The location by the waterfront is perfect for a walk while enjoying your scoop. With the weather this nice, this place is a must-visit for the days and months ahead!

This place is the best for different and tasty ice cream. All 5 of us made room for ice cream after a big lunch. It was great to taste some of the unique flavors. Kudos to them for giving us real spoons to sample(thanks for reducing the use of plastic on our environment!) Their flavors change which is a great way to make us come back for more! I’ll be back! They’re located across the waterfront. Parking is a challenge and there are only 2 benches to sit outside. Food: 5/5 - creamy and tasty ice cream Service: 5/5 - they had plenty of patience waiting to hear what flavors we chose. I couldn’t decide which flavor for a scoop so the server was kind enough to let me choose 2 flavors. Ambiance: 5/5 - great vibe to the place Parking: 0/5 - a challenge finding parking in this area despite the 2 parking lots nearby

Had a single scoop of the sea salt w/ caramel ribbons - veeery delicious. I love that they encourage you to sample many of the flavors before committing to buy anything. The woman who helped us was also extremely good about checking the ingredients list to make sure nothing set off an egg allergy in our group.

I love a coffee and love nuts ice cream. My youngest daughter loves a strawberry honey one. We asked to them waffle cone. So crunchy and yummy. Crews are kind and generous. Store is tiny and cute but clean and organized. Fast service.
