I love ice cream. No secret if you've looked into my reviews. Salt & Straw did not disappoint. We arrived about 8:45, just before closing, and there was still a line out the door. Typically a good sign if you're looking for a yummy treat lol! And it was yummy! I got a waffles cone with freckled mint and chocolate gooey brownie. They were both fantastic, thick, and creamy. So much flavor packed into two scoops! Location is small but there was plenty of street parking nearby. You might have to walk a bit during a busier time since there are a lot of shops and restaurants in the area. Worth it!! Highly recommend!! read more

Salt and Straw is known for their unique flavors, some of which are seasonal (I loved their Hong Kong milk tea flavor but it seems to have cycled out). Don't be put off by some of the unusual ones like olive oil, cucumber, or habanero, as they're pretty interesting. I liked my comparatively boring hazelnut cookies and cream though, which was full of cookie chunks. There isn't much seating here, so you may need to stand and eat. read more

I'll be honest: I'm usually not a fan of the "salty and sweet" combo, but Salt & Straw is the exception. It's definitely an acquired taste, but after my first visit, I'm a believer. The texture is incredibly creamy, which balances out the bold, unique flavors perfectly. I tried the Pot of Gold and the Freckled Mint. Both were delicious and well-crafted. I've visited both the Burlingame and Hayes Valley locations--be prepared that there isn't really seating at either, but the Burlingame spot has a very hip, high-energy atmosphere. The Highlights: * Staff: Incredibly patient and friendly (crucial when you're trying to decide between wild flavors!). * Dietary Friendly: Great vegan options that don't sacrifice creaminess. * Value: Very decent pricing for the quality and creativity you get. If you want ice cream that's "different" and daring, this is your place. read more

Late night ice cream craving that was satisfied! Salt & Straw was one of the few places that were open late-ish that could satisfy my sweet tooth. The adventurous flavors were so interesting to try! Love the patience from the girl that was helping us with samples and recommendations. I ended up getting the Coffee & Love Nuts since it's just a solid flavor that doesn't have crazy mix-ins. The coffee base is strong but sweet and creamy. The nuts add a nice crunch and saltiness to the sweetness of the coffee. read more

Even though I liked them when I first tried their spot in Hayes Valley years ago, it'd be fair to say that my affinity for Salt & Straw really took root far more recently. As impressed as I was by how creative (and tasty) their flavors were, though, I have to admit that the long lines I'd consistently see made stopping by less appealing. However, with the way they've been expanding and how a lot of that initial hype/buzz has died down, the lines have gotten shorter and shorter. Which, in turn, has made visiting them so much more enjoyable! Each time I've been to this particular Salt & Straw, I've always left with a good experience. To be honest, it'd be pretty hard not to, given how it's right in the heart of Burlingame Ave (LOVE this area!) and that it's ice cream which is inherently amazing. Much like any of their other locations, the menu here has their set of usual staples flavors along with a slate of rotating specials and seasonal offerings. The last time I was here, they were featuring their Halloween creations, but I've also seen themes centered around Valentine's Day, Farmers Market, Fall Apples, and their Brewers Series. The one thing that they all have in common? Always unique and, for the most part, quite delicious! -- CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD This was my favorite from their Farmer's Market series in August and I was stoked to get it one last time. While the nutmeg in this particular batch was a little too strong, the overall flavors were still great and the chunks of zucchini bread were so big! -- APPLE & CHEDDAR CINNAMON ROLLS - Apple Pie-Stuffed Cinnamon Roll Bites, Sharp White Cheddar Ice Cream with a Cinnamon Swirl I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, this started off really good - the cinnamon roll bites were great and the sharpness of the ice cream was really unique. That said, by the end, my tastebuds started to get tired of the taste of the cheddar. -- COFFEE & LOVE NUTS Ever since the first time I tried this, I keep coming back to it! The coffee ice cream is so good and I love how the chocolate covered pecans add a nice, sweet crunch. Of course, it doesn't hurt that all of the flavors naturally complement each other so well! DELICIOUS. -- THE GREAT CANDYCOPIA Kind of similar to the Coffee & Love Nuts, but sweeter and not quite as good. The bits of chocolate candy were just like the "Love Nuts", but, surprisingly/not surprisingly, the extra sweetness actually came more from the butterscotch ice cream. Still liked this one, though. Regardless of the flavor, the thing that I like most about Salt & Straw's ice cream is that it's always really creamy. Between how fast their tubs turnover and, presumably, the diary/ingredients they put into it, the texture is always so smooth. Also, what makes this specific location the best I've been to are the workers. Each of the half dozen or so times I've been here, the staff is always so friendly and welcoming, especially one dude in particular (really funny guy). That, plus how easy it is to find nearby parking after dinner and it's no wonder how this is my preferred Salt & Straw for a sweet treat to end any night! read more

I was in the area on a Saturday afternoon with my friend when he asked if I had ever tried this ice cream place. I said, "No," so we decided to stop by. The staff was very friendly. They greeted me as soon as I walked in, welcomed me, and asked if I had been there before. I replied, "No, it's my first time." The staff member then asked if I wanted to try any of their popular flavors, but I went straight for my favorite--caramel. I ordered a single scoop of caramel ice cream in a waffle cone, and it was delicious. I think the staff overheard my conversation with my friend about it being my birthday and my first visit because they gave me a very generous scoop. There is no seating area inside, so you'll need to enjoy your ice cream outside. Parking can be a challenge, but if you drive around the block, you should be able to find a spot. I will definitely come back to try some of their other popular flavors. read more

Came by on a Wednesday evening in November a little after 7:30pm for the last day of the cookie recipe card event they were having, and there were no customers! Tiramisu is my favorite cake, so I ended up getting the kids scoop of the seasonal Pumpkin Pie Tiramisu. Strong notes of pumpkin pie, coffee, and chocolate. Didn't really remind me at all of tiramisu but this was an interesting flavor that I'm glad I had the chance to try before the season was over! Special shout-out to the girlie at the counter with braids for being the sweetest!! Truly amazing customer service!! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area read more

We've been to the downtown Burlingame Salt & Straw at least a couple of times. The boys like this popular ice-cream parlour that specializes in creative flavors like Pear & Blue Cheese, Honey Lavender, Strawberry Honey Balsamic w/ Black Pepper and Arbequina Olive Oil. Located on Burlingame Avenue, there is metered parking along the street as well as lots with metered spaces in walking distance. The ice cream shoppe is very small with very little seating, so be prepared to order for to-go. The venue is usually fairly clean; however, their gender-neutral restroom seems to ALWAYS stink so badly that it can make you lose your appetite. For those who have never been to this place, I'm sure that the almost constant long line piques interest in trying them out. Don't be discouraged by the lengthy queue - service is fast, so the wait to order is not as long as one would expect. The staff is fairly friendly and helpful. They will describe and provide free tastes of flavors...with their reusable metal spoons (Used spoons are dropped through a hole at the counter). Go ahead - try as many flavors that catch your eye, don't be too shy to ask! Their menu offerings are very unique afterall. Gourmet ice cream is what Salt & Straw serves up. Limited edition novel flavors, such as Birthday Cakes & Blackberries and GoNanas Strawberry Caramel Banana Bread, are launched and rotated on the menu. Their Classic Flavors that are permanent residents on the menu, such as Cinnamon Snickerdoodle and Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons, are just as interestingly inventive. I had a taste of the Salted, Malted Chocolate Chip Cooke Dough and the Coffee & Love Nuts (both Classic Flavors) and give two thumbs up for both. Doris also liked the Coffee & Love Nuts. Auntie Sol enjoyed the Goat Cheese Marionberry Habanero for its unique taste, a mélange of savory and sweet. V said that the Cinnamon Snickerdoodle is also good. If you are an ice cream aficionado, especially an adventurous one, this place is for you. read more

I love an ice cream parlor that's located on a busy street. This salt & straw is in the middle of downtown Burlingame so there's plenty of things to do. But there's also nothing wrong with stopping by to get some ice cream. I last went in the middle of a rush but our server was so nice. The thing I love the most about salt & straw is that they let you try all the flavors if you really want to. With the weather getting hotter be sure to stop here to cool down read more

Evolve your ideas about what ice cream flavors have always been and embrace wacky combos that work... sometimes. My visit coincided with the release of their limited edition Thanksgiving flavors. Think of the familiar sides mixed with the desserts. If that's still too hard to imagine, thankfully the Salt and Straw team members allow you to try all the flavors! The Turkey Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce was too savory for me, the Parker House Rolls with Salted Buttercream too creamy. I settled on the Maple Koginut Squash with Pomegranate, which was still a bit savory but a tolerable amount for me. Salt and Straw is really only big enough for a line of people and ordering, so we ate our ice cream outside on the side walk next to the Apple Store. My friends eventually went back in for the Tacolate, another fantastical collaboration that I hoped that they all enjoyed. read more

It's already been several days later and I still am thinking about the strawberry balsamic scoop inside of a waffle cone that I ordered at Salt and Straw ice cream in Burlingame, California. The ice cream cone was awesome! It definitely fulfilled every wondering that I had after reading a story about Salt and Straw. The ice cream was delicious! The waffle cone was perfect! And the scoop size was decent for what I expected. The flavor that I ordered was an incredible mix of different flavors. It not only tasted great, The ice cream cone looked great to the eye too. As this was my first time in any Salt and Straw location I took a moment to take the experience in. That included sampling multiple flavors. And watching how they ran their operations. The other flavors that I sampled were also delicious. Including the pair and blue cheese variety which was unexpected. From what I was thinking it was going to be. Completely delicious too! I really enjoyed the fact that they're giving you actual mini spoons, that are real flatware instead of some plastic throwaway thing. Thing. Depositing the mini spoon into a little slot below where you're standing after you've consumed your ice cream sample. The only negative aspect that I had for my visit was one of the male employees whose attitude behind the front counter seemed to indicate his job was in the back instead of in the front. He was in the front distracting the other employees from helping the customers. Making loud noises that shocked several of the employees and a couple of the customers. Laughing about it. All the while. Standing in between the employees and the customer counter with his back. Turned to the customers at the time. After ink, fortunately his whole interaction in the front seemed to last only about 5 minutes or so. This was during the time that it took me to download the Salt and Straw app, register, and show the app to to the person at the register checking me out. This location is also inside of a very nice area of Burlingame California, on Burlingame Avenue. Conducive to a positive experience at Salt and Straw. It's great to dally on the street and drift inside for a delicious treat. Despite the problems that I had at the store during my visit, I heartily recommend read more

Loved the birthday cake with blackberry jam! Great balance of sweet and tart. Also tries a sample of the berry cornbread pudding. Friend got banana bread strawberry jam. I like that they let you sample flavors before ordering. The line at this location was shorter and moved quicker compared to the one in San Ramon. Service is friendly and fast. I'd come here regularly if I lived closer! TIP: grab a few napkins if you get a cone because the cones can be drippy. read more

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Burlingame, California

Salt & Straw is my favorite place to get ice cream on the Peninsula, mostly here at the Burlingame location. Compared to the Palo Alto one, the lines here tend to be shorter, and it's fun to walk around B Ave with a cone! But, the staff at both locations is friendly and helpful regardless of the line length. Their ice cream is always texturally perfect. It's cold enough to hold together even on a reasonably warm day, but not even remotely icy; instead, it's creamy and a little stretchy in the best ways. Then, the flavors! They specialize in high quality ingredients and really interesting flavors that are (almost always) delicious. They have a set of permanent flavors, like their Chocolate Gooey Brownie and Arbequina Olive Oil, as well as a rotating "Monthly Menu" series. Each month's menu has a theme, like "farmer's market" this month and "berries" last month, with a wide variety of flavors fitting that theme. One of my all-time favorites from was last month's Huckleberry Cornbread Pudding, which combined the perfectly tart huckleberry with crumbled and creamed buttermilk cornbread. I hope they bring it back again next year! They also do vegan flavors, so anyone who can't/doesn't do dairy or egg isn't stuck with a sad sorbetto that time forgot. Plus, some of their flavors with cakey mix-ins are gluten free, too. read more

This is one of our go-to spots, not only in the area, but nation wide. They have their classic staple flavors but I like how they always have seasonal flavors. If you're unsure of which flavor to get, there is no limit to how many flavors you can try. My personal favorite is the Strawberry Coconut Water Sherbet. Light and creamy, lots of strawberry and coconut flavor, and It's dairy free. The customer service is always great and friendly. Their attention to detail for allergies is top tier. In store they also use a new scoop, wash their hands and even get a fresh scoop from a new pint to avoid cross contamination. It does get busy at times, but it's worth the wait. Trying new flavors is an experience in itself. If you don't feel like waiting in line, you can always go in and just get a pint from the available flavors in the freezer by the door. Nonetheless, it's always a good time at Salt & Straw. read more

Salt & Straw can truly get away with any flavor combo. Goat cheese, olive oil, cornbread?! Sounds ambitious and risky but this place nails it every time. I love to get a split scoop of something off their regular menu (obsessed with the Coffee & Love Nuts and Chocolate Gooey Brownie) and of their seasonal/monthly flavor. I always look forward to seeing what new and inventive flavors are being offered. At the time I went, they featured their Berries Series and I tried the Oishii Strawberry Pretzel Salad. So yummy, so creamy, so good. My husband also enjoys grabbing a pint of the Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons to-go which has the richest, nuttiest caramel flavor. Admittedly, the ice cream is on the pricier side (~$7 for my split scoop in a cup) but IMO 100% worth it. read more

I got one scoop of the cinnamon snickerdoodle ice cream, and it was so good. The flavor had that warm, sweet cinnamon taste that instantly made me think of fresh-baked cookies. What really made it stand out were the chunks of actual snickerdoodle cookie throughout the ice cream -- soft, chewy, and full of cinnamon sugar goodness. The ice cream itself was super creamy and smooth, not icy at all, and the balance of flavor and texture made every bite satisfying. It was sweet, but not overpowering, and felt like the perfect treat to end the day. read more

Mmmm. Must stop by S&S when I see one. This particular location is in downtown Burlingame. I love S&S for the variety of unique ice cream flavors that they offer. They have their classic flavors & a seasonals. My go to classic is the pear & blue cheese or the sea salt caramel ribbons. My favorite seasonal is the pots of gold & rainbows (basically, milk & cereal mixed with lucky charms marshmallows) - I make sure to get a pint when it's available. Option to get it on a cup or a waffle cone. Kids, single, double, pints available. Good quick service. read more

Love that Salt & Straw is around and that they are open late! With other shops in the area pretty much closed past 9, it's great to see an available spot for dessert or just to meet up with friends. This last visit, I ordered a split scoop ($6.75) and tried two of their staple vegan friendly options: mint chocolate chip and a peanut butter choc. They had a seasonal sourdough and olive oil chocolate flavor which I found distracting given the actual presence of bread, but it may be to someone's liking that enjoys stuffing. Everyone was very friendly and offered as many samples as you'd reasonably enjoy. Plus, love the little spoon disposer method that I don't often see at other spots. read more

Great quality ice cream, interesting flavors and a popular place to go on the Ave in Burlingame! Can't go wrong getting a sweet treat here after dinner or getting ice cream "just because". The blackberry and cake batter ice cream flavor was delicious.

The ice cream was amazing. The one I really enjoyed was the pb&j pond cake. It was very flavorful and not too sweet. The line was out the building which is always a positive but the service was amazing. They were quick in giving suggestions and they were very helpful. They also offer samples of flavors which is always a plus for me. They have many unique flavors and some odd ones that I wouldn't think would pair well together but they did an amazing job with putting them together. I haven't had a flavor yet that I didn't enjoy. Overall it was a good spot and highly recommend. The ambience of the store is simple and small but there is seating outdoors which is always is great. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Really sad about the change because this was my absolute favorite seasonal flavor. Now it tastes meh. read more

This Salt & Straw location in Burlingame is just as good as all the other stores! Top notch quality and service. The best part is that they close at 11pm. I was craving some dessert after having a late night dinner and Salt & Straw came to the rescue. I was one of those customers that came 10-15 minutes before closing, but the staff was still super nice and offered samples to customers and provided great service. I already knew what I wanted though which is one of my favorite flavors from Salt & Straw. The Cinnamon Snickerdoodle. So good. A single scoop is a little over 6 bucks, but it's a massive scoop and I could barely finish it. I love the chunks of snickerdoodle cookies inside and it has a nice cinnamon flavor. The ice cream was so smooth and had a nice texture. This is a must get. The store was super clean and it's worth visiting. They have a lot of unique flavors that you wouldn't get at other ice cream shops. Even though the parking situation in downtown Burlingame normally is a huge pain. I am definitely returning here whenever I can and if you don't like Salt & Straw then I question your taste buds. Only partially kidding. read more

If you know me in real life, ice cream, and Salt & Straw comes up a lot during conversations! It's one of my favorite ice cream shops for a reason--vegan options and rotating seasonal flavors! So after a memorable dinner in the area, what better way to top it off than ice cream? This is my first time at the Burlingame Salt & Straw as their San Francisco locations are my home base. Compared to other locations, this is probably the smallest one. There isn't much space and I found the inside can get awkward when cramped or busy. Also, the shop wasn't the cleanest which was a bit disappointing considering it's Salt & Straw and we're in Burlingame. Since I was exceptionally full from dinner, I wanted to get something a little less creamy. I got a Kids Scoop of Pink Rośe & Watermelon Sorbet. I've had this flavor before I loved how the rośe and watermelon both popped. But on this instance, it wasn't as flavorful. Instead, it was chalky ice versus a smooth consistency which I'm used to. It also melted much faster than when I got it the previous time. I will always be a fan of Salt & Straw but based on experience, their Burlingame location is probably my least favorite. Regardless, I wouldn't mind coming back again! It's easy to spot off Burlingame Ave. with metered parking out front and around the downtown area. read more

Still a great location. We come here a couple times a year and always get pulled in when we see the new flavors come in. We went this Saturday after lunch and had a great experience. The staff is patient with letting you sample flavors and they were very alert with asking about food allergies or aversions before serving the new creepy crawly flavor which has bugs, nuts, and caffeine. I'm avoiding alcohol, so it was good to know they know they have a cheat sheet and were looking out for me. My kid used to have a dairy allergy and we had a mishap at Baskin Robbin's one time with a mix up between sherbet and sorbet, so I really appreciate the seriousness that Salt & Straw had with us on this regular day. Their seating inside is limited, but people move in and out pretty quick so we were able to get seats inside and then eventually moved to a bench outside. read more

This is going to be a weird thing to say: I kind of hate giving chains a perfect 5 star rating.

This Salt & Straw was my first ever, and it was all kinds of delicious. The employees were friendly and patient when I wanted to try different flavors.

I freakin love this place. They make the best waffle cones! I thought I already reviewed this place and I'm pretty sure I did but I am leaving this again because it's that good. Our first experience of Salt & Straw was in Alberta, Oregon many years ago. We were very happy when we noticed one here in the bay area where we live. Every single experience I've ever had here has been incredible. The facility is always clean, the staff is always very friendly and willing to let you try multiple flavors, which I'm sure I can get annoying. I think what makes this place so outstanding in my opinion is that the ice cream taste so fresh. I didn't even realize ice cream could taste fresh until I had it here! It's just GOOD. like really GOOOD. Yesterday my 3 year-old son and I, against his will, shared the limited edition flavor, milk chocolate fudge with candied macadamia nuts. It was out of this world!! So good that it is now contending with my favorite flavor from Mitchell's. Pretty bummed that this flavor is limited edition but it's ok. I have every faith that Salt & Straw knows what they are doing. Great job guys! read more

When you arrive, there are 2 things bound to happen: a line outside the door (for the most part) and the strong yummy smell of waffle cones. My bf and I stopped by on a work night. There was still a line out the door. Good thing they were playing 2000's R&B and Hawaiian Reggae jams that I was singing and vibing to. *queue Cater 2 U by Destiny's Child / Wade In Your Water by Common Kings* Summary: Ice cream - 9/10 Service - 8/10 Ambiance - 10/10 Parking - 5/10 on a packed day. 9/10 on a non-packed day. ICE CREAM - 9/10 Salt & Straw quality is buttery smooth. The flavor profiles are very unique. You have one menu for their classics that will always be served (ie: Honey Lavender). You then have their Limited flavors/Seasonal menu which are served for a certain amount of time (ie: May / Floral flavors - Jasmine Milk Tea Almond Stracciatella). There are also a lot of ice cream tubs/pints for purchase. SERVICE - 8/10 Service is very straightforward. Some of the staff are very energetic and outgoing. Some staff are just trying to get through the shift haha, which I respect. AMBIANCE - 10/10 The line system makes sense. The menu layout is easy to read and organized. I like how the art always changes for the limited flavors/theme. For example, May was dedicated to Flowers in bloom. I LOVE how when you taste test the ice cream, there are trash insertions on the wall rather than a bowl on the counter. PARKING - 5/10 & 9/10 During the day and especially on the weekends, parking is a P A I N. Parking in the parking lot is also tough luck. On a work night, there is an ample amount of parking. read more
