    My Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
    Phil H.

    Arrived in the middle of the afternoon to be greeted by Isabella. After scouring the menu I chose the Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Being the piggy I am, I got 2 scoops. Well, yup 2 scoops was the way to go! Smooth and delicious was how I could best describe the creamy sensation. Limited sitting on 2 benches outside. But well worth the trip. Place is clean. Definitely will be back!

    One of my favorite spots for ice cream! They have such creative flavors and somehow every combination works. I visited on a Saturday night and there was a line but it moved quickly. Our server was super friendly! I sampled one of their monthly flavors and it was good! I went with one scoop with two flavors: chocolate gooey brownie and lavender. It was such a yummy combination! The space is small and they have a few tables outside where you can enjoy your ice cream!

    We got a scoop of their summer peach gallete flavor which is NOT supposed to have blue cheese in it, but when we got our scoop there was a very strong blue cheese flavor. They must've accidentally put blue cheese in the peach gallete ice cream or they didn't clean their equipment after making the blue cheese flavor, leading to extreme cross contamination. Blue cheese is infamous for causing migraines, and it triggered a migraine after I tried the peach ice cream

    Unique flavors, high-quality ingredients and so indulgent! My favorite flavor is the malted cookie dough. They also have mocha and fudgy flavors. Others have lavender, poppyseed and other fun flavors. The service was very nice, they offered my samples. The ladies behind the counter were very polite and informative. The ambience is pretty modern and a little bit hipsterish! I do have to say that price wise it is a bit pricey, you're paying almost 8 dollars for a scoop of ice cream about the same price as a pint you would buy at the grocery store. Portions are decent, a scoop is about the size of your fist. This is a fun place to get a tasty treat occasionally! Be adventurous and try all the flavors!

    Excellent ice cream!! Loved our ice cream! Their seasonal flavors are delicious. I went with a waffle cone and it was so good. Line went by quick. I wish they had more tables outside to sit bc it's a cute spot on Ventura!

    My favorite ice cream chain. Wonderful staff who patiently let you sample a couple of flavor and give you good commentary to help you choose. They have now added toppings to their menu and everything tastes better with chocolate sauce. My fave and go to are the Strawberry and the Brownie Chocolate ice cream...with chocolate sauce.

    This Salt & Straw location is so small on the exterior you might actually miss it while driving by on Ventura Blvd. There is no indoor seating and just a single bench outside and only sometimes. If you come here for a sweet treat, expect to eat it standing or walking around on Ventura. There is metered street parking right by Salt & Straw as well as free street parking the next side street over, though you will have to search around for a bit and walk a little for this option. Salt & Straw is famous for their more eccentric ice cream flavors and there really hasn't been any that I've ever hated. My mom and I recently came by to try out their Berries series, she like the Habanero berry mix and I got the birthday cake / blackberry combo. Mine was the less unique of the two and I think as a result, less exciting / interesting to eat. If you swing by, you must try out the weirder flavors, they really end up being surprise hits!

    12/10 Salt & Straw is hands down my favorite ice cream shop in LA No matter how many flavors I try, I always find myself coming back to the Snickerdoodle--pure comfort in a cone. Their Coffee & Love Nuts is my #1 andall the different coffee variations are incredible, and every seasonal or limited batch flavor they roll out is worth a try. Even the combinations you wouldn't normally think to order end up being unforgettable. What makes this place even better is the service The staff are so generous with their samples and actually encourage you to take your time until you land on the one that feels perfect. Every scoop is rich, creamy, and bursting with taste It feels indulgent in the best possible way. Salt & Straw isn't just ice cream, it's an experience From the creativity of their flavors to the kindness of their team, it's a spot I'll always recommend and keep in my regular dessert rotation.

    The staff here never fail to leave me feeling extra excited about my ice cream!!! We always come across a wonderful staff member who's never afraid to offer more than the basic necessities in customer service. They are upbeat and great at keeping engaged with customers. I'm so glad this branch is here and it's always something I look forward to when I need a sweet treat for myself and my girlfriend. We love to come here and are always excited to try the many new flavors that appear inside of these doors. Five stars once again!!!

    I eat alot of ice cream. Traveling to CA for work, I needed something sweet! Found this place on Yelp. It..did..not..disappoint!! I got in right before the big rush, but thankfully I did. When I was walking out, there was a line of 30 people. Inside is small, but moves quick. I ordered the double, 2 scoops. The cinnamon snickersdoodle is top 2 flavors I've ever had. Absolutely amazing. The caramel peanut brittle was also great, but that Snickerdoodle! You need to get a scoop or 5!

    Just drove across this ice cream shop, on the way to a different one and saw a few people in line. So said why not! Vanilla so good! Must try ice cream if you are near by.

    We came to Salt & Straw right after our engagement and it made an already special day even sweeter! The cashier congratulated us--he was incredibly kind and thoughtful--and even gave us our ice cream on the house It was such a touching gesture that we'll never forget. All the staff were super helpful while we sampled the different flavors (which are always so unique and fun to try!) Thank you for making the experience even more memorable :)

    Ask the Community - Salt & Straw

    Do they make date shakes?

    I don't know, I usually get a chocolate one with them -- and he's the most delicious of all the chocolate ones.

    Do they have any non dairy sorbets?

    They have new flavors every month, and one or two of them will usually be a dairy-free option. Of their "classic" flavors (which don't change every month) there is always a royalty-free option.

    Saw this place near my hotel in DTLA and heard a lot of good things about it. After eating ramen, I…read morewent to grab some ice cream from here. The place is super small and no line, but the flavors were plentiful. I forget what they do, but you can get a combo of flavors in a single scoop. Cookies n cream and cookie dough are my two favorites, so I got that combo. It was super yummy. No wonder the place has so many positive reviews on Yelp!!

    So an absolute eternity ago, like a decade ago, there was a Paradis in Belmont Shore in Long Beach…read more(which felt like almost as much of a trek from downtown Long Beach as DTLA is, but by bike rather than by train, so we felt a bit more of an excuse to go there and eat ice cream.) 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.

But I wanted to leave a review because the girl (I forgot to ask her name, sadly) who helped me today was really lovely! I bought 30g of their matcha and admittedly thought when they didn't give it to me at the counter that they forgot, but I sat down at a table to eat my ice cream and decided to just ask for it after I finished. Thank goodness I did, because the cashier came up to my table about 10 minutes later and handed me a little bag of fresh-ground matcha. She took a second to explain to me how to store it and keep it fresh, and I just really appreciated the extra bit of customer service, even if it's something they're maybe expected to do. When I have the money, I'll definitely come back and get their 100g pack! Highly recommend this place for any matcha lovers, whether you're looking for a drink, a sweet soft serve treat, or matcha for home use.

    If you haven't tried Salt & Straw, my only question is do you live under a rock? It's literally the…read morebest place to try unique ice cream in LA. 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.

There's always a pretty long wait, but it moves pretty quickly. The employees are efficient with taking orders and scooping ice cream. I absolutely love how Salt & Straw has a changing seasonal menu. It's so fun to see what unique flavors/themes they have for every month. I vividly remember their cereal theme, which featured different delicious cereal flavors. They have a kid's scoop, which is a smaller (and cheaper) singular scoop if you're feeling less hungry. Excited to visit again!
