Stopped by Salt & Straw and this place continues to live up to the hype. From the moment I walked in, the staff stood out. Super knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, and actually took the time to walk through flavors and offer samples without making it feel rushed. You can tell they care about the experience, not just moving the line. I went with the Good Brownie and it was incredible. Rich, chocolatey, and perfectly balanced without being too heavy. Every bite felt intentional, like they really thought through the flavor and texture. It's one of those desserts you keep thinking about after you leave. The shop itself has a great energy. Clean, upbeat, and just a fun place to be. It feels like more than just grabbing ice cream... it's an experience. Love this place and I'll absolutely be back to try more flavors. read more

Originally from Portland, Salt and Straws have been popping up in a few places across the states. Sweet ice cream (and cakes) and sweet service. I'm drawn to more simple unique flavors and I think S&S has more decadent interesting combinations. Example are Rhubarb Crumble with Toasted Anise and Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper. I tried the sweet pear and blue cheese and you definitely taste the blue cheese...surprisingly good! Honey Lavender is also a tried-and-true flavor. A scoop (cup, cone, waffle) is kind of pricey, like many places now. $6.25 and if you do a split scoop it's .50 more. Pints are $12 which is a better "deal" if your family likes ice cream. Ice cream cakes were $79 :o Service is very friendly and they sell things product memorabilia like tshirts. There is limited outdoor seating. The Gilbert souvenir store offers 10% off if you bring a receipt from S&S. There are a lot of eateries in this area. read more

This ice cream shop had the most fun variety in flavors I have ever been to. Not only was the service so kind and patient but the ice cream was phenomenal. I choose a homemade waffle bowl. The olive oil ice cream was outstanding. Creamy; not overpowering sweet nor to savory. Just perfectly balanced. I added a scoop of strawberry coconut water gelato to make it exceptional. This company is from Oregon. I loved the vibe. read more

They have the most strangest yet unique flavors of ice cream I've ever had! There has to be some science behind these flavor pairings because they have flavors I would never think to get but taste so amazing! The workers were so nice and let us know that they offer unlimited samples. My favorites during this visit were pineapple updside down cake, coffe & love nuts, and salted, malted, chocolate chip cookie dough. read more

A chain ice cream shop like this is always going to be good. With flavors coming out every month, it's hard not to get something. Especially for the non-dairy people like myself, they always have options! The workers are also friendly and they work fast no matter how long the line is. They have limited tables, but the surrounding area has plenty of seating. read more

We started going to Salt and Straw when we lived in Los Angeles, and are SO glad they built one here in Gilbert! This location is in a very fun area (Agritopia) and surrounded by cute local shops and restaurants. Even though there is typically a long line, it moves quickly and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. You can sample as many flavors as you would like-and every month they come up with new and creative creations combining flavors you never would have thought would go together! There is a standard flavor list though that is always available if you aren't feeling as culinarily adventurous. Whether you're going here with friends or family-you're sure to have a fun time! read more

We stopped by the new Salt & Straw at Epicenter and were blown away by the staff. Even with the usual long lines you find here, the team was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. We grabbed three pints to go--the seasonal pumpkin tiramisu and bananas fosters flavors as well as a classic, pear and blue cheese. (Sorry, I forgot the actual names.) They were all amazing and our family polished off all three pints by the end of the night. read more

I've been to this location a couple times now and every experience is great. I love that they never make me feel bad for trying different flavors. I love trying their new monthly flavors because they are always crazy and adventurous! I order the Peanut butter brittle in a waffle bowl and it was great. The second time I came in I order the honey lavender. The peanut brittle was my favorite out of the two! It's super cute inside, I just wish they had some seating inside but they do have outdoor seating. read more

Love this location - right next to Matt's and Buck and Rider - it's the perfect chill dessert spot when you don't want that lunch or dinner date to end quite yet. The line moves so quick even with all of us getting samples and the flavors and portion sizes do not disappoint. I'm still sad everytime I get to the bottom of my cup though but it keeps me coming back next time to try more flavors! read more

The ice cream was good. I didn't get pictures of it though! I took home a pint of chocolate brownie and vanilla and the family loved it! read more

Salt & Straw is hands down my favorite ice cream place. It's more affordable than some I've gone to in the past and has such a creative and upscale feel! Their seasonal menus are so much fun to sample + choose from. I especially love the employees and the information they have about how the ice cream is made or fun tidbits about the inspiration behind the flavor. The only downside is this place is so popular that going during the evenings or weekends is guaranteed to have a line. Great for them, bummer for me! They do blow through it pretty quick though. read more

My love and appreciation for Salt & Straw is un-cone-ditional. If you're craving thoughtfully crafted, delicious ice cream, Salt & Straw is the place to go. I first discovered them in San Diego, so they'll always hold a special place in my heart. While they may not always be the most out-there with their flavors, what they do offer is consistently well-balanced creations. Whether they include blue cheese, goat cheese, or olive oil, nothing ever feels overwhelming or gimmicky. Most recently, I tried the huckleberry cornbread pudding. It was tart, tangy, and the perfect treat to wrap up a warm summer day. Salt & Straw is a beloved favorite for a reason, and their spot in the Epicenter is a welcome addition. read more

Its a high end ice cream shop, always clean, always varying their flavors with new and interesting combinations, always with impeccable service and staff. The ice cream texture is also extremely good. There is very little to complain about. On the whole it's a great shop. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is I love ice cream, but unfortunately Ive never experienced a flavor here I felt was amazing or fell in live with. The flavors are good and always interesting, but I fear in there effort to creat such unique combinations, they have yet to provide me a single flavor that blows me away. read more

I'd been to Salt & Straw in other states so when I saw we finally had one in AZ, I was so excited!!! I love trying the fun, unique flavors!! My brother can be a bit picky with his reviews but he actually loved the snickerdoodle ice cream he got here so we get that every time he comes to visit! I appreciate how sweet the staff always is and that they let us try flavors without judging me for my indecisiveness I love the area as well! read more

Salt and Straw has good customer service. I like that we can try the different ice cream flavors before we make our final decisions. Limited edition flavors: Death by Chocolate Chocolate Cake Chocolate barley milk swirled with chocolate caramel fudge, hunks of chocolate cake and chocolate ganache - This ice cream tasted like dark chocolate. I didn't really taste any caramel. I didn't find any textural differences for the chocolate cake and chocolate ganache. The primary flavor was a dark chocolate. This one is good for trying at least once. Chocolate Pistachio Milk and Cookies Nutty pistachio-cashew ice cream flecked with TCHO chocolate stracciatella and crumbles or housemade vegan shortbread. - I didn't have any pistachio or cashew nuts in the sample that were really large pieces. I think that the pistachio and cashews must have been ground into smaller pieces and that the ice cream made them more soft and tender. I thought most of the texture of the ice cream was made up of the shortbread crumbles. I think most of the flavor of this for me was shortbread. Didn't sample - Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge Creamy coconut vanilla ice cream streaked with peanut butter, a coconut caramel fudge swirl, and flecked with shards of housemade peanut butter brittle. Didn't sample - Bananas Foster w/ Candied Pecans Show-stopping banana-infused coconut cream drizzled with Bananas Foster caramel and studded with candied pecans. Blood Orange Froyo Creamsicle Tart and silky blood orange olive oil sorbet swirled together with creamy Coconut frozen yogurt. - This has a strong orange flavor that was quite tart. Classic flavors: Double fold vanilla Made with Singing Dog Vanilla, which uses twice as many vanilla beans for their extract. - This had a strong vanilla flavor. I almost thought it tasted like sweet cream. It actually has more of a vanilla flavor than a sweet cream flavor. It's good for trying at least once. Chocolate Gooey Brownie Housemade marshmallow fluff in chocolate-y brownie batter. - I think I liked the chocolate gooey brownie flavor more than any of the other chocolate flavors. The marshmallow fluff gave the ice cream a good chewy texture. I don't think that I could actually taste the marshmallow in the ice cream. It's good for trying at least once. Some of the other flavors are more unique and exciting. read more

Nothing better than ice cream from this craft ice cream store on a hot day. I've been a huge fan for a very long time as they have the most exquisite combinations and flavors. Love that they actually encourage customers to sample as much as they want. I had a couple samples of their limited edition flavors- oiishi strawberry pretzel salad, and goat cheese marion berry habanero (really pleasant spice). Ended up choosing peanut butter brittle caramel fudge (vegan) in a waffle cup and it was delish. I absolutely love their light and slightly sweet homemade waffle cones. Hubby got a waffle cup of chocolate gooey brownie and he loved it as well. They also have merchandise for sale and you can also buy pints of ice cream. There are a few tables outside to enjoy your treats but we decided to eat our ice cream in our air conditioned car:) read more

It's a new month, new limited editions flavors, so I had to stop by to try the Farmers Market series. It includes two vegan options - Peach Jam Miso Blondie and Pickled Cucumber Sorbet. I asked to try all of the new flavors, but forgot to say not the pickled one because I do not like pickles. When the server handed me the sample, I tried it anyway - bad idea. Definitely not for me! Melon & Prosciutto was okay until I bit into a piece of chewy prosciutto. I like prosciutto but not in this ice cream. I was surprised with the Tomato Gelato with Olive Brittle. It was not bad, though I wouldn't order it. It's creamy and I liked the added crunch! Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread was decadent as described, and the server said it's the most popular limited edition flavor right now. I ended up getting a kids scoop of the Peach Jam Miso Blondie. Aside from the monthly series, they released a new permanent flavor - Hazelnut Cookies & Cream - and it's vegan! The taste gave me like Ferrero Rocher vibes but not as decadent. I want to go back and get a scoop of this! Tip: Download the Salt & Straw app, sign up for their rewards program, and get a free waffle cone!

Have literally been to every location in California. When someone told me there was one in AZ, I dropped what I was doing, grabbed a cooler, and drove an hour to get here! How did I not know?! Great location in a trendy plaza. Arrived at 8pm on a Saturday and it was BUSY (just like other locations). Line was out the door. Drooled while I was admiring their menu and specialty flavors. Ended up picking Strawberry Rhubarb with Toasted Anise. Absolutely loved the flavor. For the long haul, I bought every carton of Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons they had left in the freezer lol. Great service, great ice cream. Do yourself a favor and reward yourself with this place! read more

We love salt and straw. We love samples. We love the vegan options and veganuary! The downside is the employees tonight were not very friendly. They seemed bothered by us. It was 845 pm and they close at 11. There was one other party in line and 3 employees I could see. We wish they had more seating available. We usually have to eat in our car. Overall we enjoy it but the place could improve. read more

We come here every month to try their new flavors! This month's theme is Farmer's Market, and I couldn't resist trying all five new options. The peach miso blondie was my pick for the night--it had the perfect balance of sweetness. I was surprised to learn it's vegan! It was so creamy, I would have sworn it had dairy. I ordered the kid-size scoop in a regular waffle cone (yes, adults can order the kid's size, too!). The server was incredibly patient with our group and went above and beyond to ensure there was no cross-contamination for my daughter, who has a peanut allergy. They grabbed a fresh pint of salted, malted, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and used a clean scooper just for her. When we arrived around 9:45 p.m., there was no line, but by the time we sat down, the line was nearly out the door. Outside, there are three round, picnic-style tables and plenty of benches nearby. We love strolling around the area while enjoying our ice cream. Tip: Download the Salt & Straw app and sign up to get a free waffle cone ($1.65 value). I redeemed mine last night! read more

I stopped by on a blazing hot AZ day to have a taste. I wasn't disappointed. I'm absolutely silly for anything Salted caramel. Theirs was the best I've had. Paired with a waffle cup...Nom...nom...nom... I sampled the Goat Cheese Marionberry Habanero too. It was fantastic! Pretty hot on the back end, delicious cheesy flavor blends well with the spiciness. Def next on my list. Friendly knowledgeable staff, super clean store, nice vibe. SRO (standing room only) but outdoor seating. read more

Salt & Straw - Salted, malted chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We've been regulars since this location opened in Gilbert, and it's one of our favorite spots for a sweet treat. We usually go for their classic flavors always delicious and consistent while the seasonal ones can sometimes be a hit or miss. There's usually a line, and though the space is a bit small with no indoor seating, it still works for a quick stop. The service is always friendly; they happily offer samples, which makes the experience even better. Their flavors are truly unique, and the ice creams are creamy, flavorful, and perfectly textured. Our go-to flavors are Pear & Blue Cheese, Chocolate, Honey Lavender, and Coffee. The kids especially loved the recent Halloween specials! The prices are on the higher side a family of four can expect to spend around $30 for single scoops with tip but it's a once-in-a-while indulgence that's absolutely worth it. read more

Thanks to fellow Elite Travis T. for telling me that this Salt & Straw exists! I thought it was a CA thing, but apparently not. The location is in a good spot and it can get pretty busy in here, so be patient! The interior looks similar to the Little Italy location in San Diego. However, the layout here is wider than it is long. They let you sample the ice cream with tiny golden spoons. I decided on the Blue Corn Chocolate w/Chiltepin Caramel on top & Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons underneath. I was not at all disappointed with my choice! I try to be adventurous whenever I come here. My top fave is the Arbequina Olive Oil. It's weird to say it tastes buttery and creamy, but it is, and it absolutely makes me drool just thinking about it! Now that the weather is warming up, be patient if you arrive and spot the long line from a mile away. The parking lot can get very congested during peak times, so be mindful of that. Although their prices are a bit high in my opinion, they offer unique flavors you will not find elsewhere. It's just a matter of time before I return!! read more

We are fortunate here in Arizona to have a Salt & Straw location. This Portland based ice cream company has really made a name for itself since its inception in 2011. Salt & Straw is known for their exotic ice cream flavors like Pear & Blue Cheese, Arbequina Olive Oil and Strawberry Honey Balsamic w/ Black Pepper. They are partially owned by film star and wrestler The Rock. Salt & Straw has their regular menu flavors, but also feature rotating ones throughout the year. They even have flavors found only on the West Coast and the East Coast. This Salt & Straw is located at Epicenter at Agritopia in Gilbert. I have been to the location at Downtown Disney in the past. The store is really clean and the customer service has always been great every time that I have been here. They let you sample flavors if you can't decide on what to get. You can also grab a pint to-go if you want to enjoy an evening on the couch with some Salt & Straw ice cream. I have tried a number of flavors now and have enjoyed each one of them. You can't go wrong with their signature Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons. Walking around Agritopia during early evenings and a stop at the Salt & Straw always makes for a relaxing night out. read more

We came here right before we went to the airport and my group had such a good time. We tried like 60 percent of the flavors because it was so intriguing.

I wish the olive oil was more prominent, but still it was so good. read more

We tried several flavors ranging from that's odd to that's tasty. Great texture and a generous single scoop. Their waffle cone is very good and fresh. It's not an inexpensive endeavor, and the service was excellent. Sadly like every other ice cream place in Arizona, there is no where to sit and enjoy the 2 single scoops for which we paid nearly $20. I'd happily pay this price weekly for ice cream if it was in an old McDonalds type building. But I won't be going here this summer when I'm dying for ice cream as I don't enjoy beat the clock eating. read more

Easy to find, hip location with other great restaurants are located. So thrilled they opened a location in Gilbert!! Loved it when I lived in OR.

The service is always great, albeit a bit of a line, but totally used to that for fantastic ice cream! read more

There was so much buzz about this ice cream place, I was excited to try it out! We came at an off time (Tuesday at Noon-ish) to avoid the lines I have seen. The place smells like a dessert dream. I loved checking out all of the unique flavors and the monthly specials. The space was clean and the workers friendly. There were a few tables outside, and they were super sticky. I don't know what the answer is for keeping an ice cream place seating area clean all day long! The quality is so good, I would try it again. read more

This place is a couple doors eastward of Undertow, so after having yummy salty snacks, I had a craving for the sweet! So I waltzed my way into this cute little place. The service here is great & the employees are super nice, very helpful, & have full knowledge of all the varieties of ice cream flavors. So many interesting ones to choose from. I've included menu board pictures so you can see exactly what I mean. TIP: You can sample flavors before you order too...& can sample as many as you want! The employees are very accommodating & encourage sampling! After perusing the boards while customers ahead of me were being helped & served, my go to was the Sea Salt & Caramel Ribbons in a waffle cup. Wow, is it ever good! It is very tasty & just the perfect combination of flavors! Soooooo yummy!!! The shop is cute, very clean, & well stocked with products you can buy plus pints of ice cream to take home or enjoy on the go. It's a little pricey but it's gourmet ice cream & they also offer non-dairy flavors for those who are lactose intolerant. There are a few outdoor tables for your dining enjoyment. This place is the perfect dessert after a meal at Buck & Rider a few doors to the west, after a cocktail & snacks at Undertow, or a meal at any of the other fine dining establishments in the complex. You can tell them a Yelp Elite member recommended you to this place too. Enjoy! read more

While not every flavor is gluten-free, the staff is very well-informed on which flavors are... and I love that they partner with a local bakery to include some flavors that include gluten-free banana bread and other baked goods!
