    2 scoop
    Con C.

    Tried the berries and birthday cake and raspberry marzipan. So creamy and delicious. Ordered to go online and fast easy pick up. Cute store, has goods to buy too. Street parking only. Gets busy in the afternoon

    This is the third Salt & Straw location I've visited here in SoCal (Pasadena and Anaheim being the other two I've visited so far) It's an excellent location. I had a waffle cone with two flavors (you can do half and half or two full portions. I went with the two full portions: double folded vanilla and hazelnut cookies & cream). The vanilla is the winner in the taste test but the hazelnut cookies and creme was also good. They also have limited edition flavors, take-home pints, cute souvenirs, and they even let you taste test flavors with a small metal spoon that they give you with your flavor of chocie,choice, committing to buying said flavor. 10/10 system and 10/10 ice cream shop.

    Double Scoop
    Karen T.

    Awesome ice cream spot with a wide variety of flavors. They always have rotating limited edition flavors (seasonal) in addition to the classic flavors. Some of these flavors are very interesting and unique, like the Pear and Blue Cheese flavor. I tend to stick with my favorites, which are Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Hazelnut Cookies and Cream. Their ice cream is very rich, creamy, and high quality. The staff are very friendly and patient here. They let you taste samples of as many flavors as you would like. I always end up getting the double scoop to share with my husband because it is a way better value than just getting a single scoop. Also, you might be craving for more if you only get one ice cream scoop. I always see this location looking busy with a line of people. Luckily the line moves quickly. It is pretty cool that they even sell pints of ice cream, which you can grab from their fridge. The only thing I dislike about this place is that it is difficult to find parking. There is street parking that is usually already full, but unfortunately no designated parking lot. If parking was easier to find, I would definitely be visiting more often.

    I have been wanting to come here for quite some time now since they have such unique flavors and ice cream is my favorite. If we lived in the area, I believe this would be a place I would visit frequently. The only issue was the parking. Unless the locals wanna share where a better parking place would be... then you'll end up driving round and round til a spot frees up or you have to walk a small distance. The place is pretty popular because there's tons of people visiting. The lines are long, but I wouldn't be intimidated because it does go by fast. They have a few flavors that change out, but from my understanding they have their regular flavors too. I wouldn't trust the pictures since their flavors change.

    Tried Salt & Straw in the L.A. Arts Dist. Place is clean and they offer many cool & unique flavors as well as some favorites. I tried a few samples. My nephew had the Cookies and Cream. Price is a bit high. Parking: Street Rating: 31/2 Stars

    Salted Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Scoop - Double & Hazelnut Cookies & Cream
    Kevin T.

    Visited here on a Friday evening & it was moderately busy. This specific spot is very spacious compared to other Salt & Straws, clean interior is always a plus. Love that they have a little merchandise store with some benches inside & some open tables outside. Parking here can be a bit tough though. Either parking on the curb which can be hard due to how packed the Art District can get. The alternate is to park in paid lots that can range from $4 - $15+ Staff here is great, my wife and I wanted to try plenty of ice cream flavors and they were really accommodating & friendly. We decided on a double scoop on a cup. Our two flavors combined were Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Hazelnut Cookies & Cream. Scoop sizes are pretty big and pretty overflowing for the cups. It would be perfect if the cups were just a bit bigger to hold the scoops. Although it's a bit sweet, it was the perfect dessert after a meal. Overall, great spot for ice cream, can't go wrong with any flavors as all the flavors are delicious. Love the vibes here because of the staff, will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area.

    Two scoops!   Chocolate Gooey Brownie Scoop - Single Honey Lavender Scoop - Single
    Ale S.

    I love Salt & Straw! It was delicious. We tried a scoop of the lavender and the brownie chocolate, and they were definitely shareable. We had a hard time finding parking, and we were there on Friday night, so it was busier than usual. However, it was really fun to be there on a Friday night. It's a great store with plenty of space to enjoy your ice cream, and there are so many flavors to choose from. The team there is really nice and happy to help out if you need to try more flavors or if you need an extra cup for your ice cream. We plan to return!

    Anhvy T.

    Been here 3x now and love their flavors! It's not necessarily a place I seek out since their ice cream is on the heavy side but if I'm in the area I will be tempted to go. I love their chocolate brownie flavor, coffee and the monthly rotations they have!

    Salt & Straw is good ice cream for those that are looking to be a little adventurous, As for me, i like my classics without devianting to fair from the norm. The line was quick and typically busy. The smell of the place is wonderful and the taste of the ice cream matches the scent. Parking is not so great imo, so be prepared to walk if you're looking to stop by.

    Wildflower Honey and Lemon Chess Pie and Coconut Cherry Pie with Almond Crust
    Cris I.

    I'd been to different S&S locations but this was the first time I've been to this one which was in DTLA Arts District. After dining in nearby Afuri, I decided to have ice cream for dessert. This location was a lot bigger than others. There were two people helping customers so line went fast. There was a bench inside and a lot more seats outside. Every time I go to S&S, I always go for their seasonal items. I tried two of these seasonal items and knew I wanted them right away. I got a scoop each of these two flavors: Wildflower Honey and Lemon Chess Pie. Lemon chess pie pieces folded into cultured frozen yogurt, sweetened with wildflower honey and topped with lemon curd. Coconut Cherry Pie with Almond Crust. A rich coconut cream base blended with sour cherry filling and bits of almond shortbread crust. I really loved both of them and I'm planning to get them before they get replaced by new seasonal items. Most likely, I'll get pints to keep them on stock in my freezer.

    Coffee Chamomile Sherbet
    Harmonie T.

    My friend and I wanted to celebrate with ice cream and we ended up at this Salt & Straw location in the Arts District. It's been a while since I've treated myself to Salt & Straw and I've been mindful about doing more activities that connect with my inner child. Walking in, my senses were activated by the smell of sweet happiness. The Coffee Chamomile Sherbet caught my attention because I was curious how a sherbet is marked vegan. I was also curious about the juxtaposition of caffeine and calm from the two flavors. Flavor-wise, OMG YUMMY!!! The kids scoop is the perfect size for me too. https://yelp.to/VIUjWouDG8 Staff here is nice. The store is clean. We sat outside in front of the store for people watching. Parking can be quite difficult because it's Art District. But if I'm already in the area, this is an absolute stop.

    Cowboy Coffee Grinds & Bourbon Scoop - Single
    Sera G.

    The service is amazing, there is a good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating with a cute vibe, & the ice cream.. do we need to even say it.. PHENOMENAL! They have very unique favors of ice cream like pear & blue cheese?! Surprisingly & oddly good. Highly recommend!

    Gerico S.

    Salt & Straw just launched their new flavors that are inspired by their second ice cream cookbook! Flavors we tried: --Vanilla Custard with Butterscotch Swirls (vanilla custard drizzle with house made butterscotch) --Strawberry Tres Leches (strawberry ice cream with a cinnamon-spiked vanilla tres leches cake swirl and strawberry jam) --Chocolate Chili Crisp Peanut Butter Crisps (chocolate ice cream with house made chili crisp peanut butter cups and peanut butter marshmallow fluff) --Matcha Matcha Man (ceremonial grade matcha with tangerine juice) Highlights include the chocolate chili crisp and the vanilla custard mixed with the strawberry tres leches

    Do they have a keto icecream?

    I did not see anything that would lend itself to being identified as "keto-friendly".

    When is the Roasted Strawberry and toasted white chocolate available again?

    Do they have pistachio ice cream?

    The last couple of times that I've visited they did not have pistachio ice cream. They have their standard flavors and also have feature flavors, which change monthly.

    How is the parking?

    It's the arts district so Sunday - Wednesday it's not that hard to find street parking especially in the early evening and late night.

Mochi Twist ($5)-- Nice and dense mochi texture? I guess it's hard to describe but it's not hollow and airy like a typical donut. There's some chew to it. And it's not too sweet! Blueberry Roti ($4)-- Flaky crumble on top and blueberry jam?? YES YESSSS. I liked this so much I'd definitely go back for it. Blueberry jam is so underrated and it's rare to find it in a pastry! Makes for a good sweet lil treat. Hot latte ($5)-- Perfect!! No complaints. Not too milky, not too light. Good ratio. I was actually kind of worried ordering a latte because not every place does it right but it's good here! Iced blueberry matcha ($6?)-- I see lots of good things about this drink on here but ooooooof... it missed the mark and by a LOOOT too. It was green sweet cereal milk. Where's the matcha? Where's the blueberry? It was so confusing because I see the green and I know I ordered matcha... but it's just sweet milk! And it's not even blueberry flavored milk. Did they forget the blueberry jam? Syrup? Whatever they use? Because it just tastes like the milk after a bowl of Frosted Flakes or something like that. Very sad, very disappointing. Ended up tossing after a couple sips. ANDDD for those matcha purists this is NOOOT the place for you! They have it pre mixed in a milk gallon. So we just saw green milk coming out of a gallon into this cup like yeppppp ok expectations immediately lowered. Anyways, hot latte is good and the 2 pastries I got were good! Steer clear of the matcha!!!

Personally, I don't like that style, I was hoping the original would change that for me! Long story short, I didn't like the Walnut Chocolate Chip. I personally just don't like that style still, so I'll chalk it up as a "me" problem. The cooked part was good. The Rocky Road was cooked through. It was an amazing baked good with good flavor and add-ins. Between the roasted almond slices and fudgey chocolate chips, I was enjoying it immensely. A highlight of my day for sure. If you love underbaked cookies, Levain is your cookie shop! I don't and they had something for me too!

    The Venice outlet used to be my go-to, but since I moved the Larchmont one was more accessible…read more Parking's always tricky and might require bit of extra walk when not available. It's relatively busy but the line moved swiftly. The Larchmont store was pretty lively with the crowded and colorful wall deco! It's pretty fun to see that they came up with more seasonal items lately and most of them nailed it well when they came to cookies. Previously the lemon one and the most recent was the Raspberry Pistachio which I was impressed by as I just fancied sweet and refreshing combo of white chocolate and raspberry. The pistachio added more texture to it for sure. Same as any Levain cookies, best enjoyed warm and fresh out of oven. The Cookie Milk Latte was actually the main reason bringing me here, yet I was bit let down by it as I was expecting more malty cookie flavor in the drink. I felt it tasted not much different to regular cream top latte with some cookie crumbles in it.

    First time here! We'd heard so much about this place and really wanted to try these desserts for…read moreourselves. We came right around opening and there were already quite a few people, but thankfully no line. Everything was still available, so we got the strawberry, mango, and lemon desserts, plus a box of ice cream. We tried the lemon one there - and it was really good! The center is super runny, though, so be careful because it can get messy fast The strawberry was definitely my favorite - such an interesting combination with a really bright strawberry flavor. The mango was good too, but I probably should have gone with a different fruit. The ice cream was honestly a 5/10 for me. You can find similar, or even better, ice cream at a dollar store, so I'd skip that The strawberry lemonade, on the other hand, was SO good! Not too sweet, with a nice tart flavor. Definitely recommend it! The café itself was clean, cute, and welcoming, and the staff was friendly. Would I come back? Probably not. I think these desserts are more of a trendy experience that everyone should try at least once. I'm glad we did, and the quality here is definitely great - I just don't think I'm going to become a fan of this type of dessert.

    Incredibly expensive for the lack of proper technique. I think perhaps the wave of social media…read morehype may have temporarily overwhelmed the team, or maybe the new hires weren't trained long enough to put out consistent work. They seemed kind of confused. My Man Go: 2/10. A trompe l'œil pastry designed to look like a mango, filled with fresh mango, mango mousse, and sitting atop a hazelnut praline cookie. For starters, the chocolate shell was soft and lacked the crispness of properly tempered chocolate. Either that, or it had started melting due to improper temperature regulation in the case. The fresh mango was overripe and had no texture; the mousse was similarly made of overripe mango and was room temperature. The praline was not made properly, and had zero structure. I don't really understand how all of these things can be true when it appears as though the pastries are sitting in a refrigerated case. What a waste of mango. Interior was standard, no decorations. TVs playing Tik Tok reviews. Tables were all dirty, probably because of the lack of structural integrity of the pastries.
