Ice cream
Alex G.

The ice cream is so good here. Workers are nice and will offer samples. Location is nice and clean.

Came here to try savory ice cream for the first time in my life! Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the staff behind the counter were very patient and helpful as I tried a couple of flavors before deciding on a combo. I really like how they offer the option for a split scoop here so you can squeeze in two flavors into one small cup. I went with the arbequina olive paired with the gruyere and tomato tart (which I think had some bacon bits in it as well?) Absolutely delicious combo and I can't wait to try whatever savory flavor specials pop up on the menu next month! Hopefully they'll do some Gilroy Garlic-style ice cream one of these months just for fun :)

Matcha Matcha Man & Vanilla Custard with Butterscotch Swirls

I kind of have an obsession with Salt & Straw--and honestly, I'm not mad about it. I love trying out funky flavor combos (people always look at me weird when I say Salt & Straw's olive oil is my favorite), and their limited monthly menus never disappoint. May's lineup was especially fun. The Los Gatos location was the best experience I've had with Salt & Straw. The staff was super friendly and patient and let us sample all five of the May flavors, including chocolate peanut butter chili crisp and coffee chamomile. I ended up getting the matcha matcha man, and it totally surprised me. The matcha isn't super strong, but it's perfectly balanced with sea salt and a bit of orange citrus. My boyfriend got the vanilla custard with butterscotch swirls, which tasted like real custard--creamy and eggy in a good way. Salt & Straw never stops coming up with creative, unique flavors, and I'll keep coming back for more.

I don't think I've ever had anything but a good experience at a Salt & Straw, and this LG location isn't any different! Friendly staff, incredible & innovative ice cream flavors, vegan selection, non-plastic sample spoons, and generous scoops! My husband and I popped in recently to grab a pint of our favorite flavor, Freckled Mint Chocolate Chip (vegan), which by the way won over everyone at my mother-in-law's birthday dinner a couple of months ago (even the non-vegan adults & kiddos)! We also came in last month for their Valentine's Day BOGO special, which was a treat to say the least! Shout out to Brie who was very friendly and enthusiastic about new flavors we asked about, as well as the girl at the register was also super friendly (didn't get her name, but they both were working in the early evening on 2/14/25 and she's in one of the photos I added to this review). The only thing that's sometimes a bummer is their late hours of operation: 1pm-10pm Mon-Thu, and 12pm-11pm Fri-Sun. The first time we came here, it was before noon on a weekday and we didn't realize at the time it wasn't open until 1pm. It would be great if they opened at least by noon, and maybe close a tad bit earlier, because who's really getting ice cream at 10 or 11pm, right? Maybe people in Los Gatos like late night ice cream runs, who knows! ;)

Our fave place to get ice cream. There's plenty of parking, they're open late, and the staff is great. We're a huge fan of their rotating flavors, so if you're looking for something new to try Salt & Straw always has something different each month.

First time at this location, I usually go to the Valley Fair location. I came here with a family and we had fun trying the interesting flavors they had for summer. I tried a pickle sorbet and it was not for me. I ended up being so basic and got vanilla and a cherry topping. I know these cherries are good and expensive but it was a little sad only getting one small cherry. Maybe have two options and offer the cheap cherries too. Either way, it was delicious and I'll come back for their fall series soon.

It's always fun to venture into Salt & Straw and see what unique flavors they have in rotation. I've been to a couple other locations either in Portland or California at different times of the year and it seems to be pretty consistent that they always have their regular staple flavors, and then some more seasonal flavors. I visited this location in the fall, and sure enough they had their Halloween flavors ready to go! The service here was great! The young guy working was eager to talk about any and all of the flavors that people had questions about, and offer samples galore. After trying a few, I ended up getting a pint of one of their staple flavors to bring home. The shop is located in downtown Los Gatos' Old Town. The shop is spacious, though parking here can be limited if you come by on a weekend or evening. Good thing there's two other parking lots and some small garages nearby.

Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie dough
Amie N.

salty, crumbly, creamy, THICK. they do not play with their quality here. finally an ice cream that doesn't melt within 5 minutes of receiving. they have way more interesting flavors too. there was a matcha one i tried with chocolate covered cricket a while back for halloween. VERY GOOD

Nice Salt and Straw location in a pretty part of downtown. I would have liked to have a water station (especially for the summer), but overall this was a standard, good experience with friendly employees. The plaza outdoors is picturesque and has some benches, but I would have like the option of having some indoor seating. As is always the case with Salt and Straw, their ice cream is on the pricier and more "foodie" side of the spectrum. Would recommend checking out their monthly flavor series of rotating ice cream flavors (you can also find it on their website)!

I absolutely love this place! The ice cream flavors are delicious, and the service remains excellent even during busy times with long lines. The corner location is perfect and convenient.

Goat Cheese Marionberry Habanero, single scoop.  Very very good!
Shanna K.

I wandered by one hot afternoon and decided to stop in as, believe it or not, I had never tried Salt & Straw before. Their regular offerings are a bit on the sweet side for me, but I ended up getting a kids size scoop of the goat cheese-marionberry-habanero and it was perfection. Highly recommend. Fairly easy parking too. There's a few restaurants in the area so it can get busy but not bad if you go during off-hours.

Jack O'Lantern Pumpkin Bread
Eunice C.

Friendly and prompt service on a Sunday afternoon. The lot in front makes it easy to find parking even on a weekend afternoon and the service here is great. We tried a handful of samples, but ended up going with the chocolate chip and pumpkin bread flavors.

Delicious flavors to beat the heat this summer! My friend and I came here after watching Jazz in the Plazz, and it was a walkable distance from the park. I saw plenty of parking, so it wouldn't have been an issue if we drove there. Plus, there's a lot of free parking in the garages after 6 pm. I don't have to speak for Salt and Straw because it's a well-known chain that originated from Portland. They sometimes have unique, sometimes unconventional, flavors, as well as seasonal and limited edition flavors. The shop was set up similarly to other Salt and Straws, where you queue up to be served. The server will ask which flavors you want to try and you could probably try them all if you're bold and unabashed. The guy who helped us was really patient and even gave us recommendations, since there were a lot of cool flavors. One of the fun limited edition flavors I chose was spinach cake with chocolate tahini fudge. This was a part of their "Veggies You Crave" line, which they no longer have. If my parents had introduced this "healthier" ice cream to hide veggies back then, I would've been all in as a kid. Overall, nice experience here in the Los Gatos location!

There's a number of tables outside for you to enjoy your ice cream. We got the Dole whip and black raspberry. The Dole whip tastes like the real thing! Really refreshing and enriched with pineapple flavor, super airy, light, and easy to go down. And the height of the swirl is perfect. The black raspberry is tangy, making the ice cream less sweet than usual, which I enjoyed. It was creamy and rich, good contrast to the airiness of the Dole whip. Will 100% be back!

**2.75 stars**…read more Campbell Creamery has a large menu, which is cool, but the line can get pretty long and the menu can be hard to understand (ie, we walked in based on a drink featured on a sign, but could not find it on any signage or menu inside the store). Then when it came time to get "tastes", the woman helping us wasn't friendly so we only got one taste and rushed to make a decision. After ordering an ice cream shake, we waited for such a long time that we watched at least 5 groups of customers order, pay and leave. When our staffer returned with our shake, we understood why she took so long: she over-blended the ice cream! I don't know if she was distracted or this is the usual way Campbell Creamery blends their shakes?!! All the flavors of the ice cream became completely cremated that it tasted thinned and watered down, even though I don't think any water was added to it. We could have tasted the same thing if we ordered 3 scoops and let them melt... that's what it tasted like. Sigh. It was expensive thin watery shake. Suggestion to the owner/manager: - Train the employees to not over-blend shakes because that diminishes the quality and flavor of the shake. - Also remind them to keep up their attitude, even when the store is busy because they represent the brand. It does make a difference!

This review is a two parter: First the ice cream is absolutely delicious! I went in Thursday March…read more26, 2026, it was warm, busy night! Now, the second part: I wasn't able to get the young lady's name, she had thirty people in line and she was all by herself!! Being formally in retail myself, on a busy Thursday night, being able to serve a long line of people with no second employee to take up some of the slack deserves a raise in my book! She waiting on everyone with a smile and not missing a beat!! The store has a great atmosphere, well lit, and clean! It takes a special person to stay organized, and still get a bunch of orders out! Management team, you have a rose jewel of an employee here! Please cherish her always! The five stars are for her!

They weren't too busy, so we took our time trying to decide what flavor of ice cream to get. They have a lot of unique flavors. They also have a designated counter where you can stand and enjoy your ice cream inside. The young lady helping us was very nice and let us know that we could sample anything we'd like. We tasted a sample of the SF Fog. It's an Earl Grey ice cream with marshmallow fluff. It really did look like the fog in San Francisco. It was delicious. We both liked it. So we decided to get a scoop of that and a scoop of the Black Out. The Black Out ice cream is a chocolate ice cream mixed with brownies and Oreo cookies. We decided to eat it inside. The Black Out ice cream was so rich and delicious. The flavor of the SF Fog was perfect. It had a strong Earl Grey flavor. It's a perfect treat to end our evening out.

The yogurt flavor was pretty good, and my absolute favorite topping was the melted chocolate with rice crispies -- it honestly reminded me of a warm Nutella flavor. So good! Everything is self-serve and you pay by weight. The toppings area could've used a little more attention since some items weren't refilled or cleaned up often, but it also seemed like they had a steady flow of customers when I went, so that may have been why. Overall, still a tasty stop and I'd definitely go back for that chocolate topping alone!
