Salt & Straw

The ice cream was delicious! I love how we could try all the flavors. Long lines, but totally worth it. The price is reasonable, the parking was challenging, and the environment was welcoming. Overall, great place to grab ice cream!

Category: Ice Cream Shop. One of the bartenders at Vincenzo recommended this shop with super unique ice cream flavors. We didn’t need to read beyond the first line of the sidewalk sandwich sign advertising the daily specials to know we would leave the shop with a cup of Chocolate Malted Potato Chip Cupcake, which loaded chocolate-glazed cupcake and chocolate-covered potato chips into malted chocolate milk ice cream. It was deeply chocolatey and crunchy from the cupcakes and crunchy in a different way from the potato chips. The other flavors were equally wild. When we arrived there was a line out the door but the bartender who recommended the place said the line is often wrapped around the corner. So we were lucky. As we sat on the small bench enjoying our ice cream, the line remained steady and out the door to the corner. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

A must ice cream spot! The flavors are so original and absolutely delicious — you can really tell they put thought into creating something special. It was my first time visiting, and the girls working there were amazing. They were so kind and took their time showing me the different flavors and helping me choose, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Go sample the strange flavors and get a scoop (or two) of what you love! $6.95 for a single scoop seems steep but this place has very unique flavors and high quality ice cream. The employees were happy to let me try the seasonal flavors before I finally decided on Chocolate Gooey Brownie (my all time favorite). They really cram brownies into this ice cream, so each bite is brownie-filled. Perfect for chocolate-lovers. The line can get backed up with large groups of people wanting to sample, but it’s worth the wait. A friend of mine tried the “Ice Cream Taco” and was underwhelmed at the size but pleasantly surprised by the flavor and accompanying sauces. Another option is to split a scoop into two different flavors which is awesome and only an additional $0.50. Really fun stop in Little Italy for those who like odd flavor combinations (and also those who like traditional flavors- they have those too). Somehow, Salt & Straw makes it work. Parking in Little Italy is quite a nightmare, so I recommend finding a spot in the Bankers Hill neighborhood and walking down.
