My daughter had her first Salt intro when she did an engineering internship in the Summer of '17. When we first visited the city to situate her with an apartment in '18, she had already given hubs and I the 411. So after an extraordinary meal in Portland recently, our ice cream selections made for a sweet note at this Beaverton spot located in the Cedar Hills Crossing. Salt is always on our minds because we know flavors are innovative and exciting- plus they use the freshest ingredients for both the regular dairy kind or Vegan types. By 10ish pm, this particular Salt was poppin. The swirl-around line actually does go by fast. So fast, that the young kids working the counter are such in a rush to make the line move at full throttle. While they do assist with spoons if you need a sample, in came the errors when we were here: when I asked for a cup, got a cone, when my daughter and her partner requested 'lids on', they got spoons in them. The kids working here are all nice- seriously. But they really need to breathe, pause a bit and truly listen to their customers. Oh....if you lower the music, you will also listen to customers requests very carefully well. read more

I had heard this place was "overhyped", but people couldn't be more wrong! I've never been a huge ice cream person, but love trying strange food, so I gave them a shot. I got the Arbequina Olive Oil and the Pear & Blue cheese. Both were delicious, but the olive oil one stole my heart! I could eat it every day. It might sound weird, but I think the blue cheese one could use more blue cheese. It was still REALLY good though, so if you're worried that one will be too weird, I honestly got way more of the candied pear taste. read more

I am sooo excited this is open now and we get to go in and out with our favorite ice cream! Our family so stoked about this location! The staff is friendly, lines are short, or if there is a line out the door, better bet that it goes fast! Super efficient! So glad it's closer to us now and not having to wait in the rain for some ice cream!! read more

Salt & Straw flavors are consistent wherever you go. The chocolate gooey brownie is my go-to and it never disappoints. This time I also tried the stawberry balsamic black pepper ice cream, and it was an amazing blend of flavors! (And it paired well with the chocolate hehe). Service is great here and fast. ONLY complaint, the layout inside is weird so you can't really use those standing tables without people thinking you're in line. They should've put the tables against the walls. (I know in the summer it's warm enough to eat at the tables provided outside, but what about ice cream in the winter?? I need indoor seating for that haha.) read more

What a great addition to Cedar Hills! Salt & Straw is always delicious. This location is clean, inviting and the servers are excellent. The inside has no seating although there is plenty of outdoor space available with an undercover fireplace. Even in winter, the line on a Tuesday evening filled the space but it moves quickly. Be sure to sample everything! They encourage it. read more

Here's the thing... I genuinely had a bit of a, "Ugh....really..." moment finding out that we were getting a Salt & Straw. Everyone in Portland except me loves a line. It has taken me years to get me into a Salt & Straw because just looking at the flavor list make my skin crawl. Sorry, I just want ice cream and not strange flavors. I avoided them but recently a friend wanted to go and we were at a different location. I was happy to discover that they have a lot more flavors which are unique but at least sound good. I have to say every location I go to has great folks working there. They are eager to give tastes of the different flavors and I appreciate that. I thought I would love the Snickerdoodle which was a bit too cinnamon punch for me. The gooey brownie though...WOW... and that mint chocolate chip is delicious still. Pro tip...grab your ice cream to go... get a waffle cone and then break it up to scoop up the ice cream at your leisure. read more

We went back twice in three days! I had the pear and blue cheese which sounds nontraditional, yes, but so delicious ... it definitely pairs well together! The second time we went I tried the honey lavender, which was also fabulous - not excessively sweet, just right in the waffle cone! Please try this place - wish they had one where I live! read more

Random ice-cream flavors that shouldn't go together, but suddenly do? Yes, please! I could have just tried all of the flavors and been happy. I tasted the Blue Cheese & Pear (shouldn't be good - but it was delicious, only if you like blue cheese though), the honey lavender (sweet and not overwhelming), and then finally the Arbequina Olive Oil - that's what I went with for a scoop. Very fun place, friendly staff, and clearly interesting flavors! read more

I don't get all the hype - the people inside were very nice but the product was not special

My family is so happy to have Salt and Straw on the west side. We have liked them since they first opened way back when. They opened in the Cedar Hills area yesterday 7/22/22 and the first 100 people got free cones. We swung by today and picked up two pints and got a third free, a nice deal which is good until the end of July. The parking was doable and the line wasn't terrible. The young lady working the register was very nice. There is seating outside, a splash pad/ fountain that was not turned on but it was wet,so there were a couple barefoot little kids jumping in it anyway, and a firepit/ outdoor fireplace. It is all pretty sweet. Just like their ice cream which is sweet, creamy,and often comes in some unusual flavors but don't worry there are some more traditional items for the more conservative ice cream eater. There are always a few vegan choices,too. The teen and I particularly enjoy Goat cheese Marionberry Habanero and Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons. Today we got the Sea Salt and a Wild Foraged Berry Slab Pie. The adult minion likes anything coffee so he chose Cold Brew Coffee Cashew Praline. Yes it is a little expensive but it is very worth it. read more

The location of this shop is very modern and right in front of a splash pad which is cute for kids. I got the Boysenberry oatmilk sherbert. Oatmilk ice cream is very smooth and creamy and paired with the boysenberry it was a very mild sweet taste and was very refreshing. They made their own waffle cones which is always really nice at ice cream shops. We got a few other flavors and we liked them all. They were all unique but tasted so good especially on a hot day. And all of the employees were very nice, attentive, and fast! read more

Typical Salt and Straw experience here. Friendly service and you can sample as many flavors as you'd like. The fresh waffle cones are very good and worth the upcharge. We usually kid a kids scoop. Prices are very high and there is a split fee. I have found that the new flavors are not as good as they used to be and the quality overall doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be. It's still a good experience overall and I enjoy stopping by once in awhile. read more

Quick & tasty ice cream spot with great flavors and friendly service!! Definitely a go-to dessert spot if you're in the Portland/Beaverton area. There is casual seating outside and a little fountain area as well. My favorite flavors are the cinnamon snickerdoodle, cookie dough, and gooey chocolate brownie. The homemade waffle cones are also to die for and it's always fun to sample the limited edition flavors! read more

I haven't been to S&S for a looooong time. I tried to take my daughter a week or so ago , but the line was out the door and around the back. She did not want to wait that long. Honestly i didn't blame her. Today when I got there the line was contained to the inside of the parlor. Thought about getting a shake, but I decided on the Toffee peanut butter fudge. I wasn't trying to be a glutten so I just did the 1 scooper in a sugar cone. Unfortunately the one flavor that I chose was the flavor that was bumped out of the freezer. It was sitting on top of the counter. My cone was given to me and I went in for a bite...smooosh. :( the ice cream was frozen enough to be on the cone, but it wasn't really frozen. I brought it up to another employee and she said the toffee was exiled from the freezer. If I knew this before/when I ordered, I probably would've switched my choice. I ended up having to scarf the cone so it didn't drip down the cone. Just thankful that I didn't get 2 scoops read more

I tried the Pumpkin Pie Tiramisu. It was decent but i try and avoid caffeine. The Balsamic tasted too much like Balsamic and weird. The Cranberry Orange tased like it was made with orange peals and way too salty. The portions was very small and sat well below the top of the cone. If I'm going to pay $17 for 2 scoops of ice cream i would think they would give you an average portion to generous. I will never go there again. read more

Great neighborhood addition! Vegan choices, hurray. Sampled the 3 vegan options, Marionberry coconut sherbet, boysenberry oat milk and settled on freckled mint chocolate chip. Creamy, slightly minty with flecks of dark chocolate. Yummy! Store is a bit small and tight. You need to wait for the people in front of you in line to pick and pay before you can get to the cash register to leave as its a single file line in and out. So if you know what you want, you'll still need to wait for those like me, who need to try the latest flavors. Just chill, try a new flavor and enjoy the moment. Staff was super friendly and efficient. Plenty of outside seating , small tables and seating on the cement staircase by the fountain. Dog friendly too, overall a nice evening out. read more

Jake helped my daughter and I get our order taken care. It made my day to meet someone so kind and warm spirited. Sorry for hollering at you, Jake, to get your name, but I wanted it to be known that you are awesome. We got the strawberry-coconut ice cream in the brownie cone. So delicious! read more

My all time favorite ice cream spot in Portland. My go-to is the chocolate chip cookie dough and it has the perfect ratio of chocolate, cookie dough and ice cream. The line is always so long so be prepared to wait but my cheat code is to order a pint and you skip the line. I even order a waffle bowl to go sometimes when i want something extra. read more

Decided to grab a scoop after lunch. Enjoyed the sea salt with caramel ribbons. Yummy! Quick service, and always a special treat!

Walked in as a group of 4 to a decent sized closing crew, 15 minutes before close. Everyone working stopped what they were doing to give us nasty looks and stared at us in complete silence. It was so obvious they didn't want us there that a couple people I was with even made quiet comments like "they hate us" and "they don't want us here." Eventually, one person decided to take the plunge and ask for our order - not without sharing a long look with another girl. The atmosphere was so negative I turned to the rest of my group and asked if we should see if they want us to leave, which they all agreed. When I turned to the girl who asked for our order, I said, "Would it be easier for you if we just leave?" And she interrupted me before I could finish my sentence and, with a straight face, said, "It's fine, you're already here." Hello?? It was just such rude behavior and all over 2 scoops of ice cream. After we paid, we sat outside to hang out a bit more and saw another group go inside only to leave a few moments later without any ice cream so I guess the bullying tactic worked on them. It was just extremely unprofessional behavior and I'm sorry that you had to do your job but if you can't handle being polite to people (or even just pretend to be) well before you can even lock the doors no matter how badly you want to, you shouldn't be working customer service. This all coming from a server. If you're nasty, go be nasty somewhere else. read more

Went here with the family yesterday and had the most amazing experience. It was our first time at this specific Salt and Straw and Jax helped us and was SO 10/10 service for us. Jax was so nice and caring to both us as the adults and also our kiddos. They talked to our kids and really accommodated them for samples. We also had mentioned that our youngest had a severe egg allergy and Jax was so kind to give us an extra little sample for her since she is only one and didn't actually need a whole ice cream. It was literally the sweetest gesture ever and meant so much to us to have someone go out of their way to help her. Hands down the best experience! Jax was amazing and deserves all of the praise for this interaction that our family had. read more

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This was actually our first visit EVER to a Salt & Straw (I know - but we were avoiding the hype). We came after a disappointing experience with the newest Bamboo restaurant, and were hoping for a good finish. Amazing. Yes, you can taste (they use actual tableware - so sustainable!) and they are super patient, really helpful servers. The ice cream is worth. the. hype. That's all I'll say. Try before you buy, because the flavors you expect (old B&R anyone) probably aren't what you'll get. There is no inside seating (and we came in winter) so people sat on the windowsills. Didn't look comfy so we opted to stand - as did many people. There's a fountain outside (for summer), so I imagine that is a great option weather permitting. read more

It's a great ice cream spot and a chain that seems to be everywhere. I personally have been to four location...my family to many more. I need to sample more flavors first like they highly recommend because their flavors will certainly get you out of your ice cream rut...if there is such a thing. Pro tip is a single scoop/split flavors for 50 cents more. Trust me:) I Learnt this today;) read more

We finally made it to the new Salt and Straw location in Cedar Hills without having to wait forever in the long line that wraps around the building! So happy to have a Salt and Straw close to home, but also dangerous. We used to drive to Lake Oswego every once in a while to get our S&S fix. We are always captivated by the delicious inventive artisan small batch ice cream flavors. My son got to enjoy the 2 Vegan flavors and thoroughly loved them. I had to take 3 pints to go of the tasty limited edition flavors because I couldn't decide which one I liked best. We will definitely be back especially on date night since we frequent the area and are so glad there are so many popular things around here. Price point is a bit high but if you are up for a splurge once in a while this is the place to go! read more

This place is famous for a reason and it's a good one. The line goes out the door on weekends so be prepared for that but it is worth the wait. I have yet to find a better ice cream establishment in all of America. As someone that eats dairy free most of the time, I appreciate their creative and actually decent flavors that aren't just a sorbet or some fruit forward option. I got the mint chocolate chip and as always, Salt and Straw blew my mind. If you're normal and eat regular ice cream, their menu always wows with unique and addicting flavors that will already have you thinking about your next visit. It's a super family friendly spot with lots of places to sit outside in the large open space. If you've never been here, you need to get in the car right now. I urge you! read more

The hype is real. The line moves fast and the staff is very friendly. If you want unique or just GOOD ice cream, this is the place to go! The atmosphere is fun, and I love going here with friends who are visiting Oregon! They always leave with a big smile on their face. Don't let the line scare you off. You also can taste ever flavor should you so desire! read more

Friendly service and beautiful location! Of course, great ice cream! First day open (across the street from Paris Baguette)and at 5:30pm the line was shorter than expected (not quite out the door), moving fast. Employees went by everyone in line and asked if they had questions or needed help. Employees explained flavors well and have great service and interactions! I tried samples of the berry series and settled on a single scoop of berry pie on waffle cone. It was the perfect treat for the 80 degree weather, fresh waffle cone made it! Next time want to try the flight of flavors! Inside seems a little smaller than other locations though and don't think there was indoor seating. Though the outdoor area has lots of seats with a splash pad fountain, staircase style seatung around and a handful of tables with chairs. All I know if that having Salt and Straw on the Westside is dangerous! read more

This was our first visit to a Salt and Straw. The flavors were so inventive and flavorful! Samples are unlimited, so sample away. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We couldn't believe how delicious something called Chocolate Potato Salad was. I ordered a vegan option with a coconut base and it was perfect. The plum sauce was a little zingy and counterbalanced the shortbread so well. We would definitely come back to this Oregon staple! read more

Heard a lot of raving reviews about this place. We finally visited this place and I see what the hype is about. I mean who makes an icecream called "cinnamon honey fried chicken" and it still tastes good? This place does!! I can't wait to go back and try more flavors at this place. read more

The staff are very friendly and helpful with the samples. It's a cute little shop with outdoor seating. There are a lot of fun and interesting flavors that get switched out. We tried some seasonal ones (like the salted Parker house rolls) and more standard flavors (like coffee). It's nice that they have the option to get a mixture and it comes with a little side piece of cone (not pictured because they ran out that time and did a regular cone on the side instead). The flavors are fun, but not necessarily executed the best. I wouldn't say it's amazing ice cream, but it's a cute experience. read more

Love the allergy friendly. But they are very slow or the structure is poorly designed. There is always a line out the door and wait to be served takes 30 minutes plus. Don't expect customers to be patient. read more

Efficient, clean, and probably the least busy Salt and Straw I've been to, even on a hot day. Staff were super nice, guiding us through the new July flavors. I'm still not a huge fan of most of kooky flavors here, but the goat cheese habanero was quite nice, not as sweet as the other flavors I tried. It's also a nice bonus to have the splash pad just outside. Great for the kids and just sitting in the heat, but in the shade with some ice cream. read more

Love this place, always have fun flavors and let you try them all! I love that there's always new flavors to try and the flavors are very creative and unique but delicious. The fall flavors were really fun and good (except for the creepy critters one that has mealworms in it!) I got the pumpkin pie and sea salt with Caramel (the sea salt was heavy on the caramel which I didn't love) There's a fun outdoor area with a splash pad in the summer so it's perfect to hangout there with kids! It's about $6 for a small - not that expensive for what you get. read more
