Salt & Straw's ice cream is a cut above! Both the ice cream and the mix-ins are made from scratch, and the texture is extra creamy. Flavors are balanced perfectly. The menu consists of permanent items as well as a rotating monthly menu with unusual and sometimes adventurous flavors (e.g. the Halloween-time offering "Bon Bugito's Creep Crawly Critters," which contains chocolate-covered crickets). I tend to mix it up, but the standard "Coffee & Love Nuts" is a frequent go-to, and it makes a great milkshake. For a departure from typical flavors, try "Honey Lavender" or "Pear and Blue Cheese." Some flavors are gluten-free, and if your allergy is severe, the staff will happily scoop from special inventory in the back, to ensure no cross-contamination. The Lake Oswego location is in Lake View Village, so you can sit at the tables outdoors, or enjoy walking around in the adjacent Millennium Park. Fun fact: Salt & Straw had a cart at the Lake Oswego Farmers' Market for a few years before opening the shop in 2018. read more

Aside from the great tasting ice cream, Salt & Straw has the most eclectic flavors of ice cream that include pear & blue cheese as well as honey lavender however they have most of the classic flavors as well. The staff are very willing to let you try whatever flavors you want and encourage you to try everything. I settled on a waffle cone with chocolate gooey brownie and it was fabulous! I tried the pear & blue cheese and the hazelnut cookies and cream. The flavor of blue cheese dominated and lingered. I love blue cheese and it was a nice experience to see how that was made into ice cream. read more

One of the bigger locations I've been! Super friendly staffs. We came in for some treats and they're very helpful and generous in letting us try a bunch of flavors. A great spot to stop by when you're in the area. read more

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

Beautiful ice cream shop with lots of unique flavors! A nice bonus is that they let you do a flavor taste test before commiting. I did a taste test on the pear and blue cheese (good but yes a rare combo so definitely needed to test first). It was good but I needed a pick me up so went with the coffee nut flavor. The ice cream was good, just note that it does melt a little quickly even while walking around in only 60 degree sunny weather. They also have a points program. Street parking is pretty easy outside of rush hours. read more

It's salt and straw. Were you expecting me to be disappointed? Unlimited samples, friendly staff and legit flavors. Indoor seating is limited, and most is outdoors. The lines can get long, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. You can buy a pint to go... if a kids size scoop isn't enough. Love the chocolate gooey brownie!!! And so will you. read more

We have been here a dozen+ times. Love being able to try a few flavors before committing and being able to do the half scoop options. Service has always been great- friendly and accommodating. Wish there was more seating, but appreciate how clean it is in the store. read more

We love coming to salt and straw! They always shock us with the different type of flavors they have, you never know what's in store. I love that you get to taste test some and then you can mix and match if you like multiple flavors. There's so many good choices in the staff is really nice and accommodating. There are no tables to sit inside, so just beware! read more

Love salt and straw. We came after dinner at 6 and it was the emptiest I've ever seen a salt and straw. I wasn't even planning on getting anything since I thought ugh I don't rlly like cereal month but I sampled all the cereal flavors and I had to get a split scoop of the pb brownie and pots of gold. I didn't remember the pots of gold being that good last year. The samples were extremely generous and I rlly appreciated it since it's easier to tell if you like it or not. Workers were rlly nice. Anyways, I luv SS. read more

You really can't go wrong with any Salt & Straw location but I swear the Lake O store is special. The ice cream is always perfectly rich and creamy and the staff encourages you to try every flavor. We loved all of the seasonal flavors! There wasn't a taste we didn't enjoy. Our group decided to get "split scoops" so we could try two of our favorites and we all wished we had ordered more. It was that good! Sure, you're going to pay more for this ice cream but I swear it's worth it. Where else can you get high quality ice cream with wildly original flavor profiles? It's worth the extra buck. read more

Service was fine. Very nice counter help. Disappointed. I was looking forward to my favorite Coffee and Love Nuts. I decided to make it a split scoop....and added Sea Salt and Caramel Ribbons. The quality of the Coffee/Love Nuts was not what I had remembered. The Sea Salt was a bit too salty and almost flavorless. To make it worse the split scoops were no bigger than a ping pong ball (each). Back in my car I told myself well that memory is over. Better get a Talenti the next time. I was such a fan. Now, eh, read more

I dream about this ice cream as if I ate it yesterday. It's so smooth and creamy with the perfect amount of cookie bites in it. It's not too sweet which is what I was afraid of when I first tried it. I literally ate it every single day of my trip, I wish there was a location closer to me, but at the same time I don't as I would gain a lot of weight. The waffle bowl is divine, if you get there at the right time, you can actually see them making them. I love tasting the vanilla in it, it's super crispy and you can tell it's very fresh. If you are nearby a salt and straw location definitely give it a try. I'm glad we did! read more

The staff at this location were so friendly! We got a few cones but were able to try so many flavors before we landed on what we wanted. I'm a bit of an ice cream snob but Salt and Straw always exceeds the standards. Their flavors are sooo delicious and absolutely creative. read more

Salt and straw is a oregon based camp any that has since expanded to several states. They have stable flavors and monthly rotating flavors. On this particular visit they line was out the door, despite this the workers moved quickly to get us our ice cream! I appreciate their vegan flavors as dairy is sensitive on my stomach. They have extremely limited seating, almost non-existent. They also have almost no toppings. I'm sad they got rid of the hot fudge, it was delicious. read more

It still good not so sweet ice cream! The coffee and love nuts was very enjoyable and hit the spot on a Monday evening. The staff has always been very friendly and pleasant to me.

Being from the east coast, I hadn't heard of this place until my visit. The goat cheese strawberry icecream with savory sauce really intrigued me. I definitely wasn't brave enough to order such an adventurous flavor, but I wanted the sentiment. This icecream joint is an absolute must visit. Coming from the Midwest, Jenis has my heart, but if I'm feeling a little wild, Salt n straw is the way to go. read more

All the staff is super friendly. This location is popular and crowded but tables open up fast. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Not enough for the crowd but most people take cones or cups to go. I typically order a pint for the house. As Frasier would say, "nirvana ain't cheap". LOL Now that's funny! The ice cream is not only delicious, but also has crazy flavors. I"m a vanilla man, so I purchased the Double Fold Vanilla. If you want to try some exotic flavors this is the spot. Great place for a change of the ordinary! read more

Back for more ice cream!!! While I love to order an ice cream cone or cup, we more recently have been picking up pints, typically two, to go and take home. That was true for last night as well. The staff, as they always are, was friendly and welcoming. In fact, the woman who assisted us allowed me to try three different flavors before landing on a pint of one of my favorites; gooey chocolate. This location is great because later in the evening it is relatively easy to find parking, the line wasn't too long, the store is clean and the crew working are friendly. Will I be back? Um, yes, absolutely. I am an ice cream fan and a big fan of Salt & Straw. YUM!!! read more

It'd be tough to imagine a better ice cream shop. This place had a line 20 people at the door so we knew it would be worth trying. We were able to get in pretty quickly, and were instantly met with you recognizable aroma of hot, fresh waffle cones. The ambience makes it feel a little bit more upscale, but the staff is so friendly and makes it a fun and casual place to get some delicious ice cream. They let me sample almost every flavor and seemed excited that I wanted to keep trying. They serve a wide variety of classic and more non-traditional flavors. I ended up getting a scoop of olive oil and a scoop of their special cookie dough, but would have been delighted with all of the options. They were all lusciously creamy, and the flavors were excellent! read more

Had a horrible experience here all because of one rude employee!! The guy with the curly brown hair was so unkind and made me incredibly uncomfortable. He made comments about how much I was ordering clearly insinuating I am fat, he also refused to clean the scoop after telling him I had a severe peanut allergy. He needs to be reprimanded for his behavior, I am never coming back to this establishment. Zero stars! read more

I've wanted to try salt and straw ever since I saw them featured on The Chew years ago. Omg it was sooo good! I appreciate unique flavor combinations and the strawberry balsamic peppercorn was one of the best ice creams I've ever had. The salted caramel ribbon was also a standout. other fun options to sample, which we did not purchase, were blue cheese pear and lavender. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Portland area!! read more

Good ice cream, just a little bit expensive. I had the olive oil ice cream as well as the pear and blue cheese, and both were good, but the pear and blue cheese was actually phenomenal. I was not expecting that. This is a nice little location in the center of Lake Oswego, and it's very easy to walk there if you park on the street. Overall a good time, just a bit pricy is all. read more

When we are in Portland we have to get ice cream at Salt & Straw. Our first time at this location, they had a long queue out the door and around the corner. It was moving quickly, and we had to wait about 10 mins only to get ice cream. The new Harvest flavors were available and I got the Plum and Chocolate Hazelnut Shortbread and loved it. read more

Great wild flavors, usually something new every couple months, polite staff, prices are high so pick flavors carefully. This location is in a beautiful part of town and very clean inside. Smells amazing. Long lines in good weather so be prepared. Decent parking around town and then everything is walking distance. Behind the store is a beautiful park and view of the lake. read more

This is a great spot to grab a cool treat during the summer. It is your typical tasty salt and straw. They have all of their normal flavors and it's a wide open space inside which never feels cramped no matter how many people are in line. And there normally is a line on Friday and Saturday nights. That line will wrap around the building. Do not expect to get in and out quickly unless you order ahead. That is the secret. Order online, and then enter the store through the other entrance and simply wait for them to bring you your order. That is much faster than waiting in line. I do wish they would offer more seating outside. There is so much space on the inside which is not utilized that it seems they could install some kind of rolling like garage door on the front of the store to open up on nice days and really expand the seating. read more

Love, love, love this location! I come 1-2 times a week and the staff always goes above and beyond to be helpful and kind. Even if the line is long, they make sure it goes quickly without making you feel rushed while you choose your flavors. For sure my favorite Salt and Straw location! read more

Always a fun time trying new flavors of ice cream here! You can always expect a line, but it moves pretty quickly. It gives you just enough time to decide which flavors to sample! I'm happy they have samples again because that is the best way to decide which flavor you'll get a scoop of. I got a kids size scoop of the Marionberry Coconut Sherbet. Here's a tip for those who aren't the biggest ice cream lovers, get a kids scoop. It's the right portion for me. I appreciate the several vegan options that they have here, it's the right amount of choices for a lactose intolerant person like me. read more

I just love Salt & Straw no matter the location, but the Lake Oswego one is in a neat area. There a lot of good places to choose from if you want some lunch/dinner before your dessert and weather permitting, down the way is a nice place to sit and enjoy the view of the water. On my last visit, I had to get some peppermint cocoa while it was in the shop this month & grabbed a pint to go. It wasn't busy though so I was in & out real fast, but parking does get difficult here on the weekend. read more

Amazing ice cream and (somehow) even better customer service!! My friend and I visited on a Wednesday in the late afternoon and we were the only ones in the store. The worker let us sample as many flavors as we wanted to, explaining the different ingredients in each one and making very friendly conversation. A+ for her service! Ice cream wise, the salted caramel is tough to beat, but some of the limited-time Halloween flavors are worthy a try. Candycopia is a sugar-coma in a cone; it's a mix of about 5 different candy bars in an already sweet ice cream, and it's incredible. Definitely recommend Salt & Straw to anyone in the area! read more

Salt & Straw - Single Scoop of Salted Caramel and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

During CoViD-19 times, no samples and no eating inside. Always, new monthly specials, local vendors for their ingredients, delicious ice cream and increasingly great vegan options. This location is easier to park at since there's a parking garage. It can be very busy depending on what time of year, weather, and time of day. I prefer to go when it's not busy. I highly recommend their vegan ice cream as vegan ice cream is not made equally everywhere. S&S does it well. I also like regular (as in, they have them every month) omni flavors too like the chocolate gooey brownie and double fold vanilla. They are not your average ice creams. Much better than any grocery store frozen dairy stuffs. read more
