    I'm so happy that they finally opened one in Montgomery Village because I've only had them at downtown Disney before. There is no space to eat inside, but there's plenty of seating outdoors. The staff are super helpful in letting you try all the flavors as well. I love their ice creams because there is so much flavors to choose from. The consistency of the ice cream is perfect , not too creamy and not too icey, and the waffle cones are so fresh that I have to get it every time!! The only downside is the price:(( but, once a while or twice a month, it's worth it as a treat !:)

    wow this salt and straw is the real deal! I've had it in both san Jose and socal and this location tastes the exact same! from each season salt and straw has consistently made flavor combos that are not only unique but delicious. the ice cream is creamy and I love that is not too stweet. to many ice cream places are so sweet after 3 bites I can't handle it anymore. the servers are all so nice and helpful about picking flavors.

    Another Fabulous stop for ice cream. Scooped up lavender Spring flavors . Came here after dinner at Sea Thai bistro. Love how Montgomery Village is hustling and bustling with savory dishes and ice cream sweets. See you again soon salt and straw.

    I'm a fan of Salt & Straw. Get the app, you can earn rewards. I usually like their unique monthly feature series but the June chef series didn't hit for me, but there is always their regular standard flavors. Last month's flower series was really good. Something different is they offer flights, 4 scoops of your choice in a sectioned to go container. That was fun to pick out flavors and enjoy later at home. This visit they also had strawberry waffle cones. The taste testing is always a good experience and staff is really helpful.

    Very unique flavors and very good ice cream. and they let you sample everything. Small indoor space, but lots of seating outside on a nice night

    Came here after a cooking class across the way because we were in desperate need of dessert! My best friend has never had Salt & Straw before, so I was super excited for her to try some unique ice cream flavors! Happy to report that her mind was blown! I've always loved S&S for their seasonal flavors, and you can never go wrong with their base flavors either! Of course we sampled multiple. They had a farmer's market theme when we went, and all the flavors we tried were superb! I ended up getting the Tomato Gelato with Olive Brittle. This was soooo yummy! Subtle tomato flavor with a nice, salty brittle. I also tried their melon and prosciutto (the other flavor I was torn between) and their pickled cucumber sorbet (which wasn't my fave). My friend got the cucumber sorbet, and my husband ended up getting sea salt with caramel ribbons (one of their year round flavors). They also had a deal going on for their pints when we went. We were able to purchase and leave the pints in the freezer while we went outside to enjoy our ice cream. Employees were super nice and patient with us while we were trying out their flavors! I'm sure they're used to it, but it can't be easy having indecisive customers! Can't wait to come back and see what rotating flavors they have next!

    I have tried salt & straw in other places and was hyped when they opened one here locally. I absolutely love the fact that they let you try as many ice cream flavors as you want and they do not make a big deal out of it. I wish this place was around when I was a kid as when I was a kid and we would go to a different ice cream shops. The workers were never this friendly about letting you try different flavors. Service here is spectacular. The employees are always very well-versed in what they are serving as well as in the flavors. I enjoy the fact that they let you try unlimited flavors and don't make you feel bad for it. I think the actual inside of the shop is really cute. I love the fact that they also offer treats for dogs that you can purchase as well as pints. I got the gooey brownie and it was so good! I also enjoyed the coffee and nuts ice ice cream as well. I felt it was very refreshing. The only thing I will say and it's not necessarily a bad thing is that I have learned my lesson about ordering a small scoop here. This place does serve you a lot for the small so today I ended up getting a kid scoop and for me that was just more than enough. Anyways, I come here periodically because I love how they switch the flavors and there's always something new as well as the staff. 10 out of 10 .

    It's nice that Montgomery Village now has an ice cream spot and there is lots of seating area outside Salt and Straw. There was a short line out the door when I arrived and it moved pretty quickly. It was nothing like the line on opening night which extended down past the stores across Monti's. All the workers are so nice and helpful. Some of their regular flavors are interesting like the olive oil. Honey lavender and chocolate gooey brownie are two of my faves. Their limited edition and last scoop flavors are always so fun. They had a goat cheese marionberry and habanero flavor this week that was interesting, but I wouldn't have been able to eat a whole scoop of it. A scoop is $6.75, double is $8.50. Split single scoop is $7.25. I like getting split scoops but realized a double is only about $1 more so I started getting that whenever I'm going with my fiancé since we usually share. Adding a waffle cone is an extra $1.65 so things can add up quick here. The scoops here have been huge when I've gone but from other reviews some have said theirs was on the smaller end. Seems like it is worker dependent. Overall on the pricier end but if I want to treat myself once in a while, it's worth it to try interesting flavors plus the scoops are pretty big. They also sell pints and an ice cream cake. Enjoy!

    Two summers ago, I tried Salt & Straw on Hayes in the city for the first time and the lavender honey stood out to me like no other! Fast forward to opening day of Salt & Straw in Santa Rosa, now I can have it a lot more often! I had a coupon for BOGO on a free scoop. Despite being opening day with a long line out the door, the line moved quickly. I ordered a cone with lavender honey/freckled mint chocolate chip and my hubby got a cone with coffee & love nuts/freckled mint chocolate chip. The scoops are pricy at $6.75 each, it needs to be larger for sure. One thing I noticed is the inconsistency of the scoops, it's already pretty small but depending on the person scooping, it could be even smaller! Look at the attached photo of my hubby's cone versus my cone. That was 2 small scoops and doesn't even reach the top of the cone! Next time I come back, I will get the pints! At least then the amount of ice cream you are getting is consistent. Welcome to town, Salt & Straw!

    We were in the area for a late lunch and my hubby couldn't resist as we were walking to our car. This was our second visit to this new spot. They are now offering the Berry series for their limited edition flavors. Their flavors are incredibly unique. They also offer already pre-packaged pints and a couple ice cream cakes in a freezer off to the side if you'd like to stop in and bring some home. They have a few gift items on the opposite wall too. Our server was super friendly, helpful and patient and told us about some of their flavors. She offered to give us tastes on a mini silver spoon of whatever we wanted to try. My husband's favorite is the coffee love nuts in a big waffle cone. We came at a good time because there weren't customers lined up out the door like the last time. There are plenty of seats outside. I was too full to get one this time but we will surely be back. Hubby absolutely loved his special treat.

    Oiishi Strawberry Pretzel Salad

    I love Salt & Straw so much. I've never been so excited for a chain to open in Santa Rosa! The atmosphere in here is great. The workers are THE BEST. Insanely friendly and so helpful; not to mention patient! Love their unique monthly flavors but you can't go wrong with their classics. We got their Oiishi Strawberry Pretzel Salad, which is their current month flavor. It's SO GOOD. The combination of the salty pretzel and sweetness of the strawberry works so well together. Get it while you still can! Personal favorites from the classic flavors are: Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons, Arbequina Olive Oil, and Honey Lavender! Note that it is on the pricer side for ice cream but I think it's a nice once in a while treat! Especially for the unique flavors.

    Originally signed up here for the yelp event but realizing that I am Leaving one day early made me go to the store and grab a cone for me and hubby! We have always loved salt and straw so we were so excited when we found out about SR location. I got the pear and blue cheese which is surprisingly good and my husband got the salted malted cookie dough. Both were great! Service is great! Staff is friendly and the vibe of the place is cool! I love the mural on the wall outside for Instagram photos! /) Will definitely go back!

    My kryptonite! I have no defense when I am withing a mile radius of a Salt and Straw and have to make a stop. Love the patient service as I tried a couple of flavors before settling on my usual strawberry balsamic.

    Nimble & Finn's, what have you done? Your ice cream was so good I'm craving it from San Francisco!…read more We were visiting Santa Rosa and we wanted to treat ourselves to some ice cream after lunch. I searched Yelp for a good ice cream spot and found Nimble & Finn's. Upon entering, we were surprised by the really cute decor and ambiance of the place. They had unique and creative ice cream flavors and I really liked that they combined two of my favorites - Lavender and Honeycomb. They also had Creme Brûlée, which I also liked, so I convinced my husband to get it. I'm glad he got that coz I got to try both and was very satisfied. Even my husband who is not really into sweets actually enjoyed his ice cream and finished it! Oh how I wish they had a location here in SF so I can just have it any time and try their other flavors. But if you're ever in Santa Rosa, you got to give Nimble & Finn's a try. It's totally worth it. Also bring a cooler with you so you can bring home this ice cream goodness!

The lavender flavor paired very nicely with the honeycomb candy regardless! If I'm ever in Santa Rosa, I will definitely be back!!

The mango had chunks of fresh mango and the lemon lime swirl you could taste the distinct flavors. My husband had a couple scoops of jamoca almond fudge and agrees on the taste. They make the ice cream by scratch. They also have a coffee bar inside too. Again not a lot of choices but I had the London Fog tea and it was good. I wish they had sleeves for the cups.

Ordered at 1:04 PM, order cookie dough ice cream, with cookie dough chunks and kit kats. Arrived at 1:14 or so, saw three staff members standing around talking in the back room. Waited in the lobby for a while for them to finish their conversation before one came out to get me my order from their fridge/freezer beneath the counter. It was already inside a plastic bag, which was a little strange to me, and prompted me to ask if a spoon had been put inside. Seemed it would make sense for that to be standard practice for to go ice cream orders, but I'm glad I checked! Lady behind the counter said no and retrieved one. Opened the bag in the car to find the ice cream had been melted (perhaps left out on the counter?) to a soupy consistency, tipped on its side when put in the freezer, and refrozen partially in the lid. When I got to work at 1:20, it had completely melted back into a liquid, soup-like consistency again. At least it was no longer in the lid, I guess? When I opened it to try to eat it, I found I'd been given the wrong flavor (seemed to be cake batter flavor). The add ins hadn't been cut up very well, and were either smashed flakes or giant chunks the size of my finger. Ended up just throwing the whole thing out, which was really disappointing for something I'd just spent $10-something on (and tipped 15%). Grew up with coldstone as a special occasions treat, but will not be back again.

The crust is delectable and the ribbons are just sweet enough for me. I nibbled my way through that thing over a couple of weeks. The fruit adorning the pastries always had a great flavor to them. The coup de cour with blueberries was the most interesting I'd say. I really liked the balance between the fruit and the chocolate in the center. It wasn't too sweet which was great. The one thing I haven't tried are the actual loaves of bread. I grab too many pastries when I've gone, but I'll make sure not to get distracted the next time.
