    Best ice cream I've ever had and I barely eat ice cream! So many weird and different flavors that actually work! The ice cream tastes fresh and refreshing. They give you samples of any of the flavors before you make a purchase.

    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

    I've been enjoying Salt & Straw since my then girlfriend (now wife) visited their Oregon location. From their high quality ingredients to their unique flavors, it's always a treat to sample flavors before choosing scoops to purchase. This last time I opted for the split scoop waffle cone. For the top I chose the Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge and the bottom, the Bananas Foster with Candied Pecans. It was delicious! Such intense flavors! The favorite of the two was definitely the Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge. If you're a peanut butter lover, this is the one for you! They also have some pretty awesome merch to purchase as well and the Tacolate collaboration with Taco Bell is a must the next time I go. They also had Tacolate sauce pack keychains to purchase too! Service was also great as the person was extremely patient as the family was sampling their wide array of options. The kids were loving every moment too! Will be heading back soon for another treat! Tacolate if it's still available!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Came here today august 31 2026 at 6pm. Although the ice cream was amazing the customer service was awful the man with a bandana and nose and lip piercing was incredibly rude. Also I love dogs but they allow dogs inside that isnt a service dog. This is unsanitary. Please keep ur pets away from food

    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!

    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.

    Ask the Community - Salt & Straw

    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.

My Mom ordered a single cone, which came with two scoops. She chose vanilla and another flavor that had a delicious coconut taste to it. I ordered a single cup and, after trying a few flavors, I ended up choosing the coconut-flavored one and strawberry. I don't remember the exact name of the coconut flavor, but it was really delicious! The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and the service was also excellent. We were very happy with our visit. I've also heard that McConnell's uses high-quality ingredients, and I really hope that's true because you can definitely taste the quality in the ice cream. I would definitely come back again! A little while ago, I heard that McConnell's ice cream is made with high-quality ingredients, so I bought a bunch of it from Whole Foods Market and stocked up at home.

Then, an eternity ago, it closed and we were sad. Then Long Beach Creamery opened and we weren't that sad for that long, but still, I absolutely still thought about them every once in a while, sad that they'd left. Then, a much closer eternity ago (about a year ago - I've been super burned-out and not finishing my reviews), I was on my way from an event back to the blue line and walked by and noticed that they had, in fact, just moved. So obviously we had to get some. Verdict - yes, it absolutely was as good as I remembered. I wouldn't go back to DTLA just for ice cream, Long Beach Creamery being walking distance and wonderful, but I would absolutely stop here if I were back in DTLA and wanted ice cream. It's a bit pricey, but all craft ice cream is going to be, and it is definitely craft. And you can save a lot by getting a 3-scoop, which is very much enough to share for two people, if not slightly too much.

They have so many locations and only wish they had more. The closest to me is about 20mins away but it's worth the drive every time. I love this location especially. Always such friendly staff and never have to wait in a long line. Basically, if you're a newbie, you go in and ALWAYS as for the "seasonal flavors" for tasting. They give you tasters on silver spoons and you drop it down this hole when you're done. It's literally their culture to give you a taste of everything on their seasonal menu so don't skip out on this experience. It's the best way to try their ice cream. FUN FACT: they also have 1-2 flavors that are considered "last chance" flavors which means they are about to run out so get it before it's gone. Each month I go in to try another tasty flavor and it never disappoints but I am sometimes that girl who tries the new stuff but ends up getting her usual order (chocolate brownie) and am always happy. Just the smell of sugar cone alone when you walk in gets you hooked. The atmosphere is just so welcoming. Don't be intimidated by the many flavors to choose from because there are a lot. I like to get their double scoop in a waffle cone, but they also have awesome split scoop options for those more adventurous and want to try multiple flavors in one scoop. Saves you for when you're keeping your sugar levels down. There are usually always places to sit inside or outside so you can enjoy your goodies right away.
