Salt & Straw

Honestly, I was skeptical looking at the menu choice. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and experiment. I played it safe, but was still highly impressed. I tried the honey lavender and coffee and love nuts, it was phenomenal highly recommend please try do not judge. The irony is the honey and lavender has notes of some tea flavor that I could not put my finger on, but it paired well with the coffee.

I came here with my friends late at night disappointed with another ice cream store and I was greatly pleased. The staff was friendly and offered samples and it is a very cutely designed and clean ice cream shop. The flavors were pretty interesting especially the wine influenced one but I found the honey lavander to be my pick. The ice cream is pretty good it's not sickingly sweet and it has nice aromas. Only con is we thought the ice cream was a little bit expensive but for what you're getting it's still not a bad option.

oh my god. maybe it’s because i had low expectations but this is probably the best milkshake ive had in LA. i was happy with their vegan soft serve but i was blown away by the milkshake. def coming back again when im in west hollywood for dessert. and huge props to Josh for the amazing service! he was really kind and patient as we sampled a few flavors and was super friendly.

Salt & Straw is always a great place for a little sweet treat. My go to is the pear and blue cheese but that doesn’t stop me from sampling all the other flavors they have to offer.

Arnold made the most perfect ice cream cone 🍦 for me!!! It was sooooo Amazing. My flavors were all ravishing and delicious . This is my new Favorite WeHo ice cream shop

Open late with fair pricing considering the generous scoop sizes. I had the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie, and it was amazing in every aspect. The staff was typical for LA, but overall, it was a wonderful representation of how an ice cream shop should be.

Love all the ice cream here, but the parking situation is difficult. Everything they sell here is incredibly delicious. It was my nieces birthday, and I wanted to take her here since she loves ice cream and has never been here. We each chose pints of ice cream, bought it, and took it home to eat. Loved every single flavor we bought. It was the perfect consistency, sweetness, and chunks inside it were perfectly sized. I love how they always have new flavors. It's always exciting to try a new flavor.

The ice cream was excellent. However the service left a lot to be desired. There was about four ahead of us when we arrived and while we waited the line grew and went out the door. It was disappointing to see only one person serving such a big line while another was at the back making waffles. Having that person stopping that task and serve would have not only help the line move, but have been good customer service

First things first; parking is INCREDIBLY tricky in this part of WeHo. There is metered street parking and temporary residential free street parking nearby but after 7 pm you cannot park in the residential areas at all. Parking was so challenging when we came, I actually parking on Santa Monica / Doheny's metered street parking and walked over. Known for their slightly esoteric flavors, Salt & Straw (though a bit pricy!), remains a very popular and very LA ice cream stop! They carry vegan and dairy flavors and allow sampling before ordering (10000% recommend as some flavors are a bit,, unique). We came by on a weekday evening and it was popular even as it became 10 - nearly 11 pm! Strawberry and Coconut Water Sherbet 5/5, this was a light, fruity sherbet that reminded me of gelato. I normally get the Honey Lavender from here but after a big dinner I was in the mood for something lighter and this was incredible.

I am simply OBSESSED. I've had S&S several times now and it never disappoints. They have the best honey lavender ice cream I've had to date, and it's on their permanent menu so always available! They additionally do monthly themed flavors, and there is inevitably always at least one that sounds incredible... my favorite month is usually May because the flavors are floral but I've had amazing options in all the months! The toppings are also fun; while I recognize it is a novelty more than anything, they do have an edible "ice cream perfume" for an extra dollar or so. The staff at S&S are also just the nicest people - even tho it's always busy, they will let you sample as many flavors as you want until you know what you'd like to order. They are really, really kind! Can't wait to come back to LA this year, I'll be coming back to S&S for the 10th time or so now lol. Don't miss out!

My bro & I stopped in for a sweet treat for each of us, and he loves Salt & Straw - I think I might too! Unfortunately because this is a late review (I checked in September 2024) I don't remember what flavor I got, but do remember that it was seasonal and it was very delicious- as was whatever my brother ended up getting. We each got one scoop of ice cream then sat outside the restaurant to enjoy.

I love Salt & Straw! They always have unique delicious flavors. I also love how you can taste new flavors before you buy them. I always get Honey lavender because it's a mellow tasting ice cream that's so delicious. It mainly tastes like honey with hints of lavender. It's creamy but also very light. My boyfriend always gets the Coffee & Love Nuts flavor in addition to whatever new flavor we both try. Being that we get to sample the ice cream we knew we would enjoy it so that's a plus everytime as I mentioned! The service is great. The staff always has a great attitude. The ambiance is also good, casual. Will definitely be going back!

Huge fan of Salt and Straw. Every month they have special flavors and there is always a vegan option. This year I visited Salt and Straw during the month of September. During September the specials are called The Apple Series. The vegan option was a weird one. It was called Green Apple Wasabi Sorbet. I was hesitant to try this flavor. I've had wasabi many times with my sushi and I make sure only to put a very small amount on my rolls as it can be very spicy. I let the associate at the counter know about my worries. She told me that most wasabi in the United States is really horseradish. Horseradish has a very strong flavor. However, this ice cream is made with true wasabi which is much milder in flavor. I decided to try it and was surprised that the apple was so refreshing and the little wasabi kick at the end was truly very light and satisfying. It was not the spicy I need water now emergency I was scared of. It actually had a bit of sweetness to it. I LOVE this flavor. I was surprised. I do suggest it even if you are hesitant. I came here after eating pizza and it was the perfect accompaniment to cleanse my palette. Not too sweet like a dessert but extremely satisfying in its sweetness and purity. I ended up getting a small and splitting it with a friend. I did not snap a picture of it as we were hungry but it was a beautiful light green color. Reminded me of Granny Smith apples. Also of note in this series is the Caramel Apple Sherbet. It was good but more dessert-like and sweeter than what I had. The associate said that the sherbet is non-dairy but the flavor is a dairy flavor because of the caramel. Wish they would make this flavor with non-dairy caramel so it could also be another non-dairy flavor. I don't think the non-vegans would notice much of a difference! Salt and Straw is very clean and they have tables and chairs outside to sit which I enjoy. Their Halloween menu is coming up in October and it's always a treat! I highly suggest the vegan special Blackberry Tamale. I look forward to it every year. Located across the street from Pavilions. Metered parking on the street.

I mostly think of Salt and Straw for weird flavors of ice cream. My all time favorite of theirs was Bone Marrow & Cherry ice cream, which was surprisingly good. Sometimes the weird flavors don't really do it for me, like the olive brittle ice cream I tried years ago, but those tend to be the things I order at Salt & Straw. This time I went with Rhubarb Crumble with Toasted Anise, which is not a weird flavor at all. I didn't taste much licorice, but the rhubarb flavor was excellent. I also tried the Jasmine Milk Tea Almond Stracciatella (bitter aftertaste that I didn't care for) and the Pistachio with Safron & Rose Water (nice). The store was clean, and the service was professional but friendly. There are a few seats outside. A highlight of this trip to Salt & Straw was watching a cute dog eat a pup cup outside in front of the store. (They also have a water bowl for dogs.)

Amazingggg ice cream! My friend and I took a long walk and were passing Salt & Straw so of course we decided to treat ourselves. We were able to try a couple because there were many flavors that were very unique and interesting. I like that they give you a real spoon to try the ice cream - that's fancy. My friend got the pear and blue cheese - what a flavor. Very strange but good at the same time. I got a limited flavor, sorry don't remember what it was called. It had cereal in it and this type of berry. It was DELICIOUS!!! I could go for another scoop

Not really a sweets person, but everyone here is kind and I love the unique menu. This is a very busy intersection but the staff is always cheerful

I got the rose sorbet and peanut butter ice cream both in a cup. It is creamy and fruity and refreshing, delicious for a hot summer day. Excellent and ambience is great.

My ice cream kick continues... Was craving some ice cream while in West Hollywood and the closest location was Salt & Straw so we jetted right over. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious. The ice cream is so high quality and the flavors I selected were a 10/10. The salted caramel was jam packed with caramel and the sweet/salty/creamy combination was perfection. My other flavor was Snickerdoodle and it was so yum. My bf kept taking bites of mine and said that was his fav. Now if only they had a banana flavor, I'd be there every night! ; )

Man do I love Salt & Straw. As we Ohioans sadly are not graced with any locations, I always try and go when I travel to an area that has one! After a hot hike over at Runyon, Salt & Straw really hit the spot. This was my first time at the WeHo location and the staff were very patient with me when I asked to sample several flavors (which didn't make my decision any easier)...and I appreciate that so much. I also love that their sample spoons are not disposable and that they have a cute little chute where you put them after use so they can be washed and used again! I finally decided on a split scoop of the malted cookie dough standard flavor and their limited edition cake batter chocolate fudge. Both were amazing and they paired so well together! It would be hard to have a bad flavor here though. Just go :) Thank you as always, S&S!

After multiple times trying this place, never found a single flavor that I was impressed with. Much better dessert options out there.

PSA: Pumpkin season is here! Salt and Straw always hits the spot! Love their unique and seasonal offerings! Loving their Pumpkin Tiramisu!

It's March and it's the annual cereal themed ice cream flavors! Got the corn flake cookies and marionberry jam. The fruit sweetness of the jam and the cream base with cookie pieces sprinkled throughout balance well together. Also sampled the coconut and pandan and it was rich and if coconut was your jam, you would like this with its coconut and somewhat vanilla tones from the pandan. My other favorite is the strawberry balsmic.

Took my daughters and my niece here for ice cream. This is WeHo so street parking is next to kin existent. I pulled into the Pavillions parking lot and sat in the car and they went in to get the ice cream. Since I was outside I wasn't able to capture pictures like I normally do. Per my daughter service is good. They did return to the car quickly. They brought me back snickerdoodle which was really good. They are a bit on the pricey side, however the ice cream is worth it.

Loveeeee Salt and Straw in general. Their store on Santa Monica is pretty clean, fun vibe and quick. The people working there are super nice and friendly. The salted, malted chocolate chip and coffe&love nuts are something everyone Should try. Highly suggest it.

Experience: I went on a Saturday night around 9pm. This location is about a ten minutes drive from where I live, the closest S&S to me. Thankfully the night was just started so the streets weren't to wild yet. We ended up parking at a store parking lot which was right down the street, we were there less than 30 minutes, so it worked out in our favor. Sampled some of the seasonal flavors, some of the hits that I love, arbequina olive oil, sea salt w/ caramel ribbons, etc. Taste: I ended up ordering the lemon curd and whey and sea salt w/caramel ribbons. Two scoops in a cup to share. All very good and delish. Service: We beat the 9:30 pm rush. There were two workers, the one that helped me was super duper chill and kind. Very relaxed, perfect person to work there, you really do need patience, especially when customers sample everything lol. Verdict: Good, always. Will go back when in the mood for ice cream.

10/10 Best vegan and non vegan cream there is. There's so many difference flavors to choose from, and they're always the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Salt & Straw is my happy place. Especially in July. There is no ice cream flavor or experience like this place. I will say, the West Hollywood location is not my favorite. Parking is insanely challenging, the store itself is small (and doesn't have a bathroom), and the Weho strip is fun but not exactly the energy I am usually going for when I want ice cream. I love the Larchmont location even though it is a little further from me. I really want S&S tonight so I'm writing this review instead :)

I really hope one day I get to work at a Salt & Straw. The sweet and friendly service I received makes it seems like these folks would be super cool to work with. The shop is small but the quaint neighborhood is nice to explore. I wouldn't mind cycling in to work everyday. Who am I kidding? I just want the perks of all these delicious flavors of ice cream at my fingertips.

There are lots of places I want to like, but find that I don't. This is a place I didn't want to like, but couldn't help myself from going crazy for. I didn't want to like it, because there is always a line. Really, always. Second, crazy flavors annoy me more than they intrigue me. Ok, I'm sure there are people who want blue cheese or apple wasabi or bone marrow or sea urchin ice cream ... but it makes me wonder if a place is more about Instagram than the actual quality and taste of what they are selling. HOWEVER, the Chocolate Gooey Brownie is one of the best things I've ever had. No joke. Their waffle cones, also, are among the best things I've ever had. Think all waffle cones are alike? Try theirs and let me know. And if you're so inclined, their Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons is incredible. The caramel is almost smokey, or whiskey tasting and it is so different than everybody else's ice cream by the same name. On top of that, the workers here are always patient and always nice. So go ahead, Salt & Straw, offer the hipsters ham & eggs ice cream or beef cheek ice cream or whatever other goofy thing you think up that normal people would never want. As long as you continue to sell me Chocolate Gooey Brownie, I promise not to roll my eyes (much).

I'm normally a sea salt with caramel ribbons kind of person, but we were sampling the flavors from the flowers series and on a whim I tried the arbequina olive oil flavor and I knew I knew from that first taste it was the one. I tend to like simple flavors of ice cream like vanilla or sweet cream, so if you're that kind of person, try the olive oil. It was soooooo good! Think of like a sweet cream, but just a tad bit savory. I've visited this place where the line was once out the door, but this time there was only a couple people in front of us and the line goes fast. If you can grab a seat outside, it's great people and dog watching since the dog park is just down the street. There's a communal water bowl for your pup in case they get thirsty too.

Their dairy free decadence series every year are a MUST for my Los Angeles lactose intolerant folks! This is a seasonal collection of vegan flavors that are so uniquely delicious and creative. The team gave me some lovely recommendations and I left the cute shop with my new favorites: peanut butter brittle caramel swirl and toasted oat milk n' cookies! I wish they kept more dairy free flavors year-round! Also, the line for the shop is usually super long at night, but the service is always diligent and kind to everyone who comes in!

I tried their salted, malted chocolate chip cookie dough for the first time &wow. amazing. maybe one of the best ice cream i've tasted so far.. I'm new to the area so finding an ice cream place just around my corner &having cookie dough pieces as a mix in-- how could i not try it? i had ordered two pints and the package came with a sweet message so just overall LOVE LOVE LOVE. happy i stumbled upon this place! the creamy ice cream texture, the flavor, the thickness, also not so sweet, not so salty-- just enough. store was added to my favorites.

I tried two flavors: "Coffee & Love Nuts" was a coffee lover's dream with rich coffee ice cream and chocolate-coated pecans. "Honey Lavender" was a lavender-infused delight, beautifully balanced with herbaceous flavors.

All guys are super friendly and it smells so nice inside. And yeah, ice cream is great, even that I'm not a fan of an ice cream:)

One of the benefits of eating ramen in WeHo was that it was on my way to the Salt & Straw up here. I could easily loop back to my hotel from there via scooter at ease. One of the places that was on top of everyone's recommendations was Salt & Straw. Therefore, I had to find a way to make it there. There are plenty of flavors to try, both vegan and non-vegan. I had to venture out of my standard palette of cookies & cream to find a more tantalizing flavor to devour. I almost went with the chocolate gooey brownie, but instead settled for the salted, malted chocolate chip cookie dough. That turned out to be a great decision. It tasted extremely good. The single scoop is more than adequate for me. You get just enough ice cream that it doesn't melt into milk. I ended up eating it outside walking around WeHo, but the taste was immaculate. Now I know why my friends recommended this place.

Name a better duo than ice cream and WeHo. This Salt and Straw is in the heart of WeHo and across the street from Pump. Whether you decide to walk around the neighborhood or sit on the patio to people watch there's always something going on. I love how they have vegan options which is great for those allergic to lactose. I had the caramel brittle and it was so creamy, you wouldn't even realize it's vegan. They had general chunks of brittle and waves is caramel swirled throughout my scoop. Salt and Straw is always a solid spot for your ice cream cravings!

I absolutely love their December flavors and have been waiting all year. The gingerbread cookie dough is my favorite, with really nice chunks of cookie dough throughout. I paired it with the jack o lantern pumpkin bread (last scoops) which was soooo delicious. I would recommend getting a single split scoop if you want to try multiple flavors without feeling too full since the portions are generous. Customer service as always was fantastic. I was able to sample some flavors and I usually like to ask employees what their favorites are since you can't go wrong. This location also has a small parking lot in the back, although it really depends how lucky you get so you may have to resort to street parking.

I was having a really bad day, so I decided to treat myself to some ice cream. The staff here were absolute angels! Thank you for your kindness, conversation, and awesomeness!! These folks are the Best, and the company is lucky to have them! Thanks again!!

Always unique and constantly changing flavors. Olive brittle and goat cheese? Check. Strawberry Cilantro Lime Cheesecake. Yes! There are some crazy ones and more traditional flavors. I love the little patio seating outside on the sidewalk where you can watch all the craziness of WeHo go by while you enjoy your ice cream...another great place to stop with a date. Super nice service and they will let you taste all the flavors. Metered parking or try the West Hollywood lot a block south on Robertson.

This location is smack dab in the middle of West Hollywood. It was a perfect stopping point for my family and I during our West Hollywood bar crawl. Lol The moment we walked in, all we smelled was the homemade waffle cones. It felt like a warm hug. Lol, it was then that I knew I had to have a scoop of ice cream in a waffle cone! My husband chose their extremely long name for chocolate chip cookie dough. Lol it was really tasty and refreshing. There were plenty of cookie dough bites in our one scoop too! The one scoop in a waffle cone was about $5 and it was the perfect size/amount for us to share. I'm a dessert lover and I often crave ice cream, and I just know I'll be thinking about the smell of Salt & Straw for months to come. Lol

I enjoy the Double Fold Vanilla when I'm feeling something simple and the Chocolate Gooey Brownie when I want someone more. The customer service is always exceptional especially from the employee Griffin. He's always so kind, patient, respectful and professional. Thank You Griffin for your kindness and your professionalism! The establishment indoors is clean and cool in temperature. It fits about 20 people if you sardine everyone in. There's some seating outside to enjoy the sunset or the night breeze. All in all, I love this place! It's worth a visit when you're in the area.

Salt & Straw presents ice cream aficionados with some interesting flavors with unique textures not replicated elsewhere. For instance, their pistachio rose water and strawberry mochi flavored ice cream. The mochi here is not the usual solid glutinous mass you would expect. Instead, the mochi is runny and gooey, almost liquidity. It has interesting floral notes of rose in pistachio ice cream. Their jasmine milk tea and chocolate almond stracciatella was less extravagant and more modest. In fact, you can smell the light scent of jasmine in the ice cream with chocolate bits. To be honest, I was hoping I would taste the tea with a stronger aroma, but this works just fine.

The staff were so nice and let us try all of the seasonal flavors! Each one was unique and all fit into the flower theme for this month. The store always smells like their waffle cones and they even sell candles with that scent! The flavors were innovative and delicious. They have a selection that they keep year round and a group of seasonal flavors which are changed out every month or so. This is one of my favorite ice cream places!

So happy they have some vegan options yay!!!! I had the chocolate hazelnut cupcake ice cream, which is a cupcake crumbled inside ice cream. I loved it!! It was very coconuty, which I enjoy but my husband didn't, so if you like coconut you will like this. My kids had the vanilla, mint chocolate chip and chocolate brownie, all of them really enjoyed it but it was very very sweet (which my oldest doesn't like). Parking is bad since it's on the main road but their is a parking lot behind it and the workers are very friendly and helpful.

First time coming here and it did not disappoint. Went in on a Friday night . Staff was super nice and helpful gave us a sample and we were amazed on how good it was . We had the seasonal Pots of Gold & Rainbows Cereal milk ice cream, rainbow marshmallows. Like how they also have pup cups for the fur babies

It's been a while since I've been to salt & straw, and I must say after this past visit, I am so excited to re-visit again soon. Many ice cream shops that I've frequented recently didn't have a quality, tasty variety of flavors like salt and straw does. Their flavors taste amazing and they offer plenty of yummy vegan and seasonal holiday options as well. Usually, vegan flavors don't taste good but the ones here keep me coming back for more. I really enjoyed the peanut butter vegan flavor and the salted caramel flavor regular (it was on the sweeter side though). I love to get it in a cup with a waffle cone added. Best part about this experience is the service; our staff member helper was kind about us sampling a few flavors each, gave a good sample size and friendly service all around. The ambiance is small, quaint and cozy, little seating but located in a great spot with plenty of shops and restaurants to walk & roam around whilst eating this delicious dessert.

Out of all the fancy/artisanal ice cream places around the city, Salt+Straw was always on the lowest of my list. Perhaps it's due to the fact I normally prefer 'single' flavors as opposed to fancy, organic mix-ins, exotic unique flavors and the like. Salt+Straw masters that rather easily, as it's obvious by their popularity. I admit, I posses a basic palate when it comes to ice cream. The last time I had this brand was during the beginning of Covid, and I picked up a pint over in Studio City. I was kicking myself for paying $11+ for this pint, and I remember it being fairly good (it might have been a s'more related flavor), but I haven't had the need to run back until recently. That reason was due to an email I received with it being 'free cone' day (just the cone obviously). Since I also opt for a cup over a cone, I figured the cone probably cost something so figured I would take advantage with this promotion. Found myself over in West Hollywood and I decided to go with the freckled mint chocolate. Girl working didn't really greet or give great customer service but I've had worse. $5.95 for one scoop in a cone and I was out of there. This was really good! The cone was fresh, crispy and I'm pleased to say there were zero leaks. Ice cream itself was also quite enjoyable; not as good as dirty mint by Coolhaus, but up there in ranking for a delicious mint version. I believe this was one of their regular flavors, so if I had to pick S+S again, I would go with this choice once again.

Great experience at Salt & Straw!! It's been years since I last had it and never in California so I thought we should give it a try. There was no one in line, late afternoon. The two staff members working were super friendly and nice! We got unlimited samples and thoughtful answers to our questions about the various flavors. Their flavors are so unique (Salted Hazelnut Praline S'mores, Mushroom Muddy Buddies). I definitely recommend branching out and trying some of their seasonal, limited-edition flavors. We ended up ordering a cup of Salted, Malted Chocolate Cookie Dough and Cold Brew Coffee Cashew Praline and a cup of Strawberry & Coconut Water Sherbet and Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons. The ice cream was decadent, creamy, and really satisfies the sweet tooth. And I love how generous they were with their portions. The prices are comparable to other ice cream shops, and, honestly, decent, considering LA prices tend to be overinflated. There are a lot of locations in LA, but go to this one! It's not super crowded, street parking is available, and it's location in WeHo makes it very close to a lot of restaurants, attractions, venues. PRO TIP: Park at Pavilions across the street for free parking:)

I'm not too familiar with Salt & Straw, so upon first visit I was definitely in for a surprise. The interior decor is so cute and vibrant. You can think of the inside as a mix between a coffee shop and an ice cream parlor vibes. My visit was during the night so it wasn't too bright but it had all the vibes I was looking for. We waited in a line that was pretty long which means that it's most likely worth the wait. I elected for the chocolate gooey brownie in a cup and definitely didn't regret my decision. The flavor was decadent and I didn't feel too heavy eating it. Also tried some of my friends salted, malted, chocolate chip cookie dough and loved the contrast of salty and sweet. Ditching my grocery store ice cream store for this from now on!

I'm from out of town and was excited to see a seasonal flavor my sister had told me about. Sadly, the flavor was for June and I didn't come into town until July 2nd. They were no longer scooping it and had moved on to new seasonal flavors. All this to say-- I was surprised to see an employee go out of her way to get me a sample of it from the back, and tell me that there were two last leftover pints in the back of the takeaway selection fridge. Her above and beyond service made my day (and the take home pint was excellent)! All their ice cream is so good, I honestly would've been happy with any flavor. I've been to Salt & Straw often and tried a lot of flavors, and never been disappointed. Their options are unique, exciting, and soooo creamy, even when vegan. But this location in particular gave me a five star experience today. If I was midway between a couple spots, coming here would be my choice.

Wonderful ice cream store - great range of unusual and tasty flavors. Friendly staff and great vibe. Fantastic range of tasty vegan options as well. Must gp

Amazing flavors! I tried salted caramel and I forget the other but I'm sure is was also salted or caramel related. So delicious. I got two scoops and they're a great portion. Service was friendly and somewhat fast. A serious thought I had while eating it was, wow this is the best ice cream I've had.... and I've had a lot.

We love salt a straw! The unique flavors and combinations are what make it stand out. There are some fancy and super unique options which we love to try. There are so many locations now! This one in particular had a long on a weekday evening, but it went by quickly. We were able to sample some flavors which was great. The classic sea salt caramel is amazing, and so is the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough (not too sweet, perfect amount of cookie chunks). Definitely recommend!

This is a must if you're in the area and looking for something sweet! They have a lot of unique flavors but some of the staples are stellar--vanilla, fudge brownie, and the absolute best ever chocolate chip cookie dough. It's unreal how good it is! I also enjoyed the bread pudding and pandan flavors. Its priced well and in a fun part of the city!

Finally tried this place after much hype from my students over the years. I must say I wasn't overly impressed. It was good though not great. I appreciated the vegan options (better than most) and their precautions to prepare my ice cream separately since I must be gluten free. They were also knowledgeable about which flavors were GF without having to check or look it up. Good place although not the best in LA area.

I had walked past this place many nights and gotten a whiff of the delicious and sweet smells coming from the ice cream. I was so excited to finally try it and it did not disappoint. The cool thing about salt and straw is that they have very unique flavors and seasonal flavors like saffron and pink rosé with watermelon! The staff will also let you try as many flavors as you desire. I got the salted, malted chocolate chip cookie dough and the pistachio with strawberry mochi. Both flavors were delicious but the cookie dough flavor was amazing. There were huge chunks of cookies and cookie dough and the base vanilla ice cream was delicious! I would recommend at least getting a double scoop so you can combine flavors. Each scoop is huge so you definitely get your money's worth. I can't wait to come back to try more flavors.

My wife and I been enjoying this place every couple week and something has changed can't quite put my finger on it but it just lost its touch although the young staff always smile and helpful. But one thing for sure will have me not go there anymore is the fact that there is no more seating area at the store front besides two lame benches that one literally touches the trash can .seriously if the owner doesn't want to pay the city of West Hollywood permit fee and bring back the seating area than I guess I will find another place to enjoy our treat and that goes for few of our neighborhood friends as well.
