    Pup ice cream
    Dee H.

    Came here because I heard they had ice cream for pups. Yes they do and it's less than $4. It was a special occasion for my dog so he was really happy to try. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Parking can be tough in the area but if you time it right, it's great and free.

    Popped in for a scoop of their small batch, homemade ice cream - the honey lavender was tasty! My son enjoyed his chocolate ice cream. Shop was big and clean on a corner spot with friendly, efficient service and a bench to sit on with some counter space to lean on if enjoying the treats in house.

    Can never go wrong with salt & straw. Love this Abbot Kinney location to bring guests visiting to. Staff is always super friendly, patient and gives so many samples. Chocolate gooey brownie is SUPERIOR

    Was my first time trying Salt and Straw and we wanted some premium good quality ice cream and this place hit the spot. I really like ice cream shops that have unique flavors and high quality flavors and this place delivered on both fronts. I sampled a bunch of flavors and the coffee and nuts flavor was pretty good, but ended up getting the strawberry with black pepper and the chocolate brownie on a waffle cone. Both of those flavors were pretty solid, I liked the chocolate brownie a lot more than the strawberry, the strawberry had portions where it tasted straight like strawberry syrup that was a bit too sweet for my liking (even though I have a sweet tooth) The worker was nice even though we had like 4-5 samples before deciding what to buy without any pressure so that was nice. I like that they give napkins and a spoon as well if you ask. The only negatives were the price and I wish the waffle cone was made fresh right on the spot. But otherwise, would come back again!

    I'm so happy that I'm able to eat diary again specially ice cream. I have missed eating ice cream so bad. I came to salt and straw by myself after finishing shopping. I ordered the sea salt caramel and strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper. It was simply delicious. It a must try. And of course, the best part was that had a lot of samples!!! Great service.

    Not your average ice cream shop. This ice cream shop truly understands the joy of choosing the perfect scoop!! They believe that an ice cream lover should sample as many flavors as they like. No rushed decisions, no attitude just pure enthusiast for helping you find your favorite. The flavor selections is where this place really shines. Instead of sticking to the classics, they offer unique and unexpected combinations that make every visit an adventure for your taste buds. From bold, exotic ingredients like lavender to inventive twists on traditional favorites. Some of the most popular ones are Honey Lavender, Sea Salt Caramel ribbons, and my personal favorite Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dought. They also offer rotating seasonal flavors that change regularly. Perfect for adventurous dessert lovers and anyone who believes that ice cream should never be boring! Cheers

    I love salt and straw so much. One of the best parts of it is that they seem to expect people to ask for samples and I love how they have the spoon dispenser easily accessible. They always have good service as well and are friendly. The salted malted cookie dough is usually my go to however every year I get SO excited when March 1 hits because pots o gold & rainbows aka the lucky charms ice cream is in season. Probably one of my favorite ice creams I've ever had - I highly recommend! The best bites are the ones with the lucky charms marshmallow chunks and it pairs perfectly with the ice cream - truly tastes like lucky charms idk how they do it!! The cereal series is definitely superior in my opinion. I also recently tried the peanut butter brownie one which was still really good but I of course had to stay loyal to the lucky charms. I've told all my friends and coworkers about this I am the lucky charms ice cream biggest advocate

    I can't imagine giving anything less than 5 stars to this location, or really Salt & Straw in general! They are consistently generous with their portions and my favorite is the single split scoop combo (just $0.50 extra for a split scoop)! Every month they usually have a new series and it really makes getting ice cream that much more exciting every time. I appreciate that the workers are so patient and they are generous with all the samples I ask for. I don't get angry or annoyed when the line is long because they truly take their time with each customer. And this location, this evening was no exception. They were friendly, moved the line right along, and I was able to get my samples and order in, in a jiffy! One of my favorite parts of this location is that there's some seating and area to eat inside. Not a ton of space, probably just for like 4 people to sit and a few people to stand on the opposite wall, but it's still something! It was nice to take advantage of the seating area and little stand for ice cream cups! They have pints available for purchase and at this location, they had some merchandise for sale too. Pretty cool. I'll definitely be back!

    Salt & Straw located in the heart of Venice Abbot Kinney Blvd. Their salt ice cream flavors are all delicious but I love that they have the seasonal ones and the pint take home options. The free samples add it easier for us to decide. The kids had the chocolate brownie and the peppermint kids scoop. Each scoop is generous so I was totally happy with just one scoop. The gorgeous stained glass art outside is gorgeous. I realize they have another location closer to us so we may visit them there too. Spacious interior made it easy for us to finish eating inside as it would get too messy if the kids would try to eat and walk.

    Very delicious creative ice cream flavors. We got salted caramel, cookie dough, and jasmine milk tea. Pretty quick service and they let you try as many flavor as you want!

    Was strolling around Venice Beach and was excited to see Salt & Straw nearby. The employees were friendly and let me sample a few flavors before ordering. I ended up getting a scoop of the honey lavender ice cream, and it was delicious!! I'd definitely come back for more

    Solid 4.5 stars but I'll round up because it wasn't that crowded so I got to sample a number of flavors. I liked a bunch of them -- so many unique combinations. I ended up getting the caramel ribbon and the coffee with pecan in a cone. It was pricey but I wanted two kinds. Ultimately I should've just gotten the coffee one -- I liked it better. The caramel in that quantity was just a bit too much sweetness. Glad I visited and would definitely go back to it or another location in the future.

I got the Daisy Chains limited edition flavor, as well as the apple cider donuts flavor from the September apple series. They both complemented each other fabulously since the Daisy Chains flavor has pink frosting and sugar cookies in a vanilla base, whereas the apple cider donuts flavor has a lot of cinnamon and some caramel adorned inside. I also have routinely skipped out on their waffle cones -- a crime because they taste superb and smell even better. It holds a surprisingly generous amount of ice cream and doesn't melt so long as you stay inside or are not in hot weather.

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!

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. They even have cool swag if you become a huge fan like me. If you like a little savory and sweetness in your ice cream this is the place to be.
