Here you can find lots of unique ice cream flavors. It is something I look forward to when I am in Seattle and recommend to all my friends to try. So smooth and creamy and packed full of flavor every time. read more

I know I've already reviewed this place but have found myself going quite frequently (or ordering delivery). Honestly I love to go, it's such a good vibe. Everyone is always so friendly. I see Ethan a lot, he's our favorite! And honestly part of the reason we like coming back. It's weirdly nice to be remembered and also always having such amazing service. For this month, I tried the carrot cake batter (mixed it with the salted caramel. It's pretty much straight happiness read more

Went a few weeks ago on a summer Wednesday (right around the heatwave) a bit before 18h00. Parking is street parking and we parked about a five minute walk away. There was no line when we came, but a long one formed soon after. The staff is very kind, friendly, and helpful. They have pretty unique flavors so make sure to read the descriptions! What We Ordered: 1 Double Scoop w/ Waffle Bowl: Salted, Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Chocolate Gooey Brownie 1 Double Scoop: (i forgot this one sorry) 1 Single Scoop w/ Waffle Bowl: Chocolate Gooey Brownie read more

So glad to find out that they do delivery!!! This time instead of the regular delicious flavors, we got one pint of each special flavor - the Goosebumps: Monster Blood is Back! and the Amulet: Fruit of the Gadoba Tree. The Amulet tasted very much like the regular vanilla flavor initially. As we dug deeper, the subtle mango and cocoa aroma starting emerging, quite interesting combo! The Goosebumps wasn't as attractive to me at first. However, as the sweetness built up on my tastebuds, I desperately needed some balance. The sourness of the fruit punch and the strawberry chocolate came in handy! Always loved this place! Hoping to sample their other flavors soon! read more

The menu has a lot of vegan options and I love this because I can't handle dairy. I ordered the cherry almond pie crust flavor off the seasonal menu, and it was a bummer. It didn't taste like cherry, and not much like almond either. It was buttery and creamy, but with that tangy undertone like yogurt. That wasn't for me and I didn't finish it. I should have tried samples but the line was so backed up I tried to be considerate. The wait is inexplicably long--the line was short but it still took a very long time, so plan ahead. The service was very friendly. read more

Great service and even better ice cream. They let you sample items before you commit and super friendly staff. Loved the environment!

Salt & Straw is one of my absolute favorite ice cream spots -- I was obsessed when I lived in LA and love that there's a Seattle location so close to my house! I love all the unique and inventive seasonal flavors, all which are updated monthly. The staff here are always so friendly and you can sample all the flavors before deciding, which I appreciate -- they keep the long lines moving. The permanent fixture flavors are also delicious -- Salted, Malted Cookie Dough and Gooey Chocolate Brownie are my favorites. I keep coming back to try the new flavors and can't wait to see this month's Harvest Collection! read more

Oh, I've been wanting to go to a Salt & Straw for a while and I am very excited to hit mostly ice cream shops this summer that are new to me but of course I'm not complaining about going to old favorites either. Capital Hill is always a busy neighborhood and the restaurants and boutiques are often busy as well. Salt & Straw was no exception and there was a small line in order to get your ice cream selections. But the staff seemed to treat this as normal and got people on their way in a very efficient manner. When it was my turn I got their Double Fold Vanilla. A vanilla ice cream with extra vanilla beans which gave it an enhanced and an actual vanilla flavor instead of some bland old thing. Definitely excellent ice cream and well worth paying a visit to! read more

Staff is friendly and fun. Very humble and nice to customers and tourists alike. Fun flavors of ice creams. You can sit inside and enjoy the ice cream. Usually there is a queue at this place but quick moving one. It's in the Capitol Hill, so enjoy taking to people and people watching while in the line. read more

Long wait but pretty great ice cream. I actually order pints to the east coast sometimes given how unique some of the flavors are. I tried the limited edition "birthday cakes and blackberries" in a waffle cone. Very solid - only thing I wish they offered were more toppings. read more

Took a morning walk to Capitol Hill on a Saturday morning to pick up some doughnuts and happened to walk past Salt & Straw 15 minutes before opening on my way back. I saw that The Flower Power Series was happening and was excited because I've been meaning to try their seasonal Jasmine Milk Tea & Chocolate Almond Stracciatella for a while now. I decided to sit at their benches and wait until they open. At 11 AM after they propped their entrance door open, I came inside to order a scoop of the Jasmine Milk Tea & Chocolate Almond Stracciatella in a sugar cone. I was careful to say "sugar cone" because I did not want a waffle cone, but they handed it over in a waffle cone already. I decided not to make the correction because the waffle cone they had already scooped me would just go to waste, so I reluctantly paid the extra $1.25. To top of this poor experience, there were 3 employees inside when I stepped in and they all were visibly bothered by the fact that I was doorbusting at 11 AM for ice cream. The first thing one of them said when I walked through the door was "already?!" followed by a "It's only 11 AM!" and another said directly to me "real early, huh?" Why are you open at 11 AM if people shouldn't be getting ice cream at that time? Although this isn't something anyone should have to be trained on, it does make me think Salt & Straw could take the time to train their employees to at least wait for a customer to leave before talking shit. The ice cream was great though. I'm so glad I finally got to try the Jasmine Milk Tea flavor and absolutely loved it. The floral flavor wasn't too strong which is perfect for my preference, and the chocolate pieces complimented the flavor quite well. I'll definitely be back, maybe even at 11 AM, and hopefully the same people will be there to serve me again. read more

This is the place that you want to go if you have an airline ticket to Seattle from anywhere in the world, and you don't know what to do once you get there. I'm partial to fruit ice cream's and I gravitated naturally to the olive oil and pear selection. I really enjoyed it. Others in my party got a number of varieties and everyone was pleased with their dessert. I have to tell you the truth, I was jealous of those that got the sea salt caramel, next time I go that is what I'm going to get. read more

The pear and blue cheese flavor was so fun to try! I expected it to be just flavoring but there were actual, large blue cheese chunks throughout the cup! I don't like my deserts to be too sweet so I loved the salty blue cheese flavor with the fresh pear tones. Giving it 4 stars, however, because the blue cheese chunks quickly overpowered the pear. I got the smallest size and couldn't finish it because I kept spooning blue cheese. Felt a bit of a waste since it's not the cheapest ice cream place but it was definitely a fun try! read more

Salt & Straw - Left: Pear and blue cheese - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Salt and straw is more than just an ice cream store. It is definitely an experience. Upon entry you'll be greeted (unless there is a huge line) by a story employees that will invite you to try as many flavors you want. I love this because it makes it more of an ice cream journey and then just getting one flavor of ice cream. They're eco-friendly by giving you tasting spoons that are actual spoons made out of metal and you ditch them in these cute little holes in the counter. What draws salt and straw apart from other ice cream is their daringness to try different flavors that may seemingly not work together. I have definitely tried some Thai inspired chili ice cream is here in the past, and I have tried iconic flavor, such as tomato basil, which actually worked ! Recently, I have been trying the seasonal Thanksgiving menu, which includes basically a five course Thanksgiving dinner with rolls with butter turkey with cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie to name a few !! I invite you whether it's scorching hot or freezing cold to go check out salt and straw because they have flavors all year around that wow you! Even if you've been a local like me who lived in the city for many many years, they're always switching up the flavors which every time you visit the store makes it exciting ! read more

Salt & Straw - The roll and butter flavor from seasonal menu - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place has a very unique icecream menu. I ordered the Sea Salt and Caramel Ribbons on a waffle cone because it sounded like the safest choice. Anywho, took a lick of the icecream and didnt expect it to be that salty. I mean, maybe it should be because of its name? I shouldve asked for a sample before ordering but I didnt so please dont be like me, ask to sample them all before choosing. Their sample spoons are real spoons too! The star rating is only because of my tastebuds. read more

A friend of mine was ranting and raving about S&S, so we decided to stop in after lunch the other day. The woman at the counter was super friendly, and invited us to try any (and all!) of the ice cream flavors. I settled on classic fudge brownie. My friend had a scoop of almost all the vegan selections. Each and every flavor was delightful! We even grab some pints to take home. Highly recommend, especially if you are searching for a good vegan ice cream option! read more

Line wasn't too bad. Had to wait a few minutes and then got right in and ordered. Kids had chocolate brownie, husband had chocolate chip cookie dough and I hade chocolate cherry pie. It was all decadent, rich and filling like it was a meal. All of our ice creams had chunks of pie or brownie or cookie in them. Waffle cone was good. A little too filling for my taste but definitely had to try it. Maybe if I had a different flavor it would all go down easier. I had a taste of it first but when you get the whole scoop it has "more stuff" in it versus a small spoon taste. read more

As a self-proclaimed ice cream lover, this place was the bomb!! The smell of freshly baked waffle cones literally goes down the street. Had a ton of delicious samples and settled on a cone of cookie dough and snickerdoodle. Will definitely be back when i have the chance so I can try different flavors and the seasonal options. read more

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very interesting flavors. Definitely not the norm. I had the Chocolate Gooey Brownie and the Peanut Butter Cheer Yo Clusters. Very enjoyable. Tasted my daughter's Cornflake Cookies w/ Marionberry Jam. The cornflakes give a nice chew and the marionberry ribbon adds a nice complement to the flavor. I don't know if I could make this a regular ice cream treat. While the flavors were good, it wasn't popping good. While I enjoyed the Chocolate Gooey Brownie, there are other chocolate ice cream variations from other ice cream artisans and chains that I have enjoyed more. I've had ice creams with more fat/cream content and find those to be more enjoyable. I think if they increased the fat content of their ice creams, it would truly be five stars for me. Very intriguing flavor combinations, though. Pear and blue cheese? I would like to try it just to try it. Roasted Strawberry & Toasted White Chocolate sounds yummy. There are others. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

The ice cream flavor is very true to its name. Ice cream consistency is on a denser side. Tried the olive oil flavor as well as strawberry balsalmic with black pepper flavor. You can taste the olive oil at first bite and going down the throat in an interesting way. Goes well with a separate strawberry balsalmic with black pepper flavor with is tangy and sweet. Don't worry - no lettuce flavor to make it a salad in an ice cream form. Wouldn't personally get the olive oil flavor as a standalone as it felt a bit greasy (?). Single split scoop is a generous portion (when considering price, it's reasonable). My companion got the salted malted cookie dough flavor which again tasted true to its name. Sweet. Creamy. Limited seating. Relatively quick service and turnover. Able to try two flavors upon request. read more

Very tasty ice cream place on Capitol Hill. Very friendly and helpful staff, its all hands on deck to get everyone tasty ice cream they're enjoy! Try some samples first! The line looks long sometimes but its worth it and it moves pretty quick. The milkshake is a lotttt of ice cream so only get that if you're super hungry. The Sea Salt Caramel Ribbons flavor was to die for. There's some seating inside and lots of benches right outside to sit and enjoy your treat. read more

Salt & Straw consistently delivers no matter which city I am stopping by to enjoy their artisan ice cream. This last time in Seattle is no different and it's clear why there's always a long line for this spot when you're wanting a good dessert treat on your night out. Plant-based goers will be happy to know that Salt & Straw offers vegan friendly options. In fact, they usually offer two seasonal vegan options which is amazing, as I'm not a huge fan of their standard Mint or Strawberry & Coconut Water Sherbet. This time around they offered a Pumpkin Spice type of ice cream which was SO yummy. Great consistency and flavors that you'd come to find in this basic ice cream, and it being vegan means I could enjoy it with all my meat-eating friends. One standard scoop was enough for me. At $6 it can seem a bit steep, but it's definitely enough for one sitting. If you like, they often will offer a waffle chip on top of your ice cream if they have it available and you order a cup. Sorry vegan fam, it is not something we can enjoy. Despite there being areas to sit inside, the long line will result in you taking your ice cream out to enjoy in the outdoors. Be prepared for the weather! read more

I tried the Cherry pie & cookie dough! Both were absolutely delicious. I really like the tartness of the cherry pie flavor and it tasted so fresh. read more

This ice cream shop hosts a lot of bold, unique flavors! I was intrigued by the strawberry honey balsamic ice cream. Each element contributed a different type of sweetness. There was some tartness from the strawberry and some richness from the balsamic. Definitely recommend this flavor if you check this place out! read more

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The flavors that are available for this period are so delicious! The service was also really attentive and great. Maybe the one time I went, since it was so busy, it didn't feel like I could ask as many samples as I could today. The worker also took the time to talk about the ice cream and how they were made to make sure their flavors are shining. I thought I was going to order their more fruity flavors, but boy, I was taken a whole different route after trying their Beecher's Cheese with Peppercorn Toffee. I love cheese was hesitant with it being an ice cream. It tasted really good, creamy with cheese flavors! It wasn't super potent but it had great flavors with nice crunch from the peppercorn toffee. It is very hard to explain but I really worked! I encourage people to try it! read more

Salt & Straw - Beecher's Cheese with Peppercorn Toffee Ice cream kid scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I didn't know this was a popular ice cream chain with unique flavors, but my roommate and I decided to pop in after seeing the menu while wandering the streets of Capitol Hill :D Some notes: - Huge portions that make the price point worth it - Friendly cashier who gave pretty good recs on the flavors - Nice variety of flavors including GF and DF ones for those with dietary restrictions - Did I mention how huge the portions were? We struggled to finish two scoops on a cone - lesson learned for sure Last note: I still think Jeni's - my favorite ice cream chain - is better. Sometimes experimental flavors =/= good. The blue cheese flavor traumatized my roommate - she didn't know it would have actual chunks of blue cheese, which was jarring. I personally didn't mind! My flavors were a hit. Some of their flavors sound like someone randomly strung words together (ex: strawberry mojito cilantro cheesecake - huh??) but overall a fun stop. Also the olive oil flavor tasted like straight up butter. read more

Must try! They have AMAZING AND COOL flavors. Staff is super cool chill and patient. You can try whatever you want! My personal favorite was the honey lavender. The line is long and it's crowded but it goes quick and it's well worth the wait! read more

Living in Las Vegas, the FOMO is VERY STRONG with Salt and Straw not having a location in the 702...YET!!! (fingers crossed!) During our time in Seattle, we went three nights in a row because that's what you do when you don't have Salt and Straw in your area. This is the gold standard of ice cream shops down to the taste, quality, and service. I loved every flavor I tried, but while I think Beecher's Macaroni and Cheese is overrated AF, I love Salt and Straw's Beecher's Cheese and Black Peppercorn ice cream...SO BOMB!!! Hopefully one day, Las Vegas will have the privilege of having a location here, but then again, maybe not, because Vegas just can't seem to keep good shops around (Gelato Messina, Amorino, CREAM are all gone) ALOHA!!! SHAKA METER: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ 5 read more

PACKED. Friendly service. Honey lavender was GREAT. Olive oil needed more salt. Cherry pie and cookie dough flavors both needed more chunks. Asked for a sugar cone, got charged for a waffle cone (it was amazing though). read more

Can't go wrong with this ice cream shop. They have fresh and unique flavors that never disappoint. Their ice cream is made is small batches and is crafted to perfection each time. I use to drive to Portland just to enjoy this ice cream and I am so happy we have a location here in Seattle now. They have the BEST customer service. Every time I visit this shop they are always very welcoming. They always start the conversation by asking if anyone in the party has any allergies they should be aware of. The staff is trained well and you can tell they enjoy their job which makes all the difference from a customers perspective. My favorite flavors are the double fold vanilla and honey lavender. They even have vegan options! This time around I tried the Freckled Mint Chocolate Chip vegan ice cream. It was light and super satisfying. The shop is welcoming and very clean. They are following COVID safety protocols. read more

Great ice cream store with lots of fun flavors. I tried Arbequina Olive Oil (tastes like vanilla) and Pear/blue cheese. I paid $8.76 (after tax) for a double scoop portion. The pear/blue cheese ice cream was interesting, it tasted like vanilla but it had chunks of pear mixed with blue cheese in it, so if you scoop them out, you wouldn't even taste blue cheese. Also, they have culinary perfumes which is super unique but it cost extra $0.50 for a spritz. read more

Came here on the way back from dinner and the Capitol Hill area. I really love Salt and Straw. My first introduction to them was when I was living in the bay area. Back then, it was like a 25 minute walk from my apartment. Thankfully, this location is only a 10 minute walk from my friends' Place in Seattle. One thing to know, there is almost always a line at salt and straw. It is that good. Their flavors are not standard. PROS: - The line moves fast, as long as you don't have patrons who haven't been before and want to try every single flavor on the board. - You can actually look at the menu in advance, and decide also in advance, what flavor do you want to try. - They also sell these flavors by the pint. It is a little bit more expensive, but if you know, a flavor is good after trying it, it helps save you a trip. - cones made fresh daily, but they also have bowls option, of course. CONS: - none minus the line but you know it's good! This is definitely worth it for people who live in the Capitol Hill area. I don't know if I myself would specifically make a trek out there if I lived in any other neighborhood outside of Capitol Hill. However, I do believe that if you eat something, it should be good, if not good for your body and your soul. That being said, if I was eating at a restaurant nearby, and it was within the vicinity, I would definitely stop by for dessert. read more

Yvonne is literally my favorite human here. But.... Everyone is always so nice and helpful!

Delicious and amazing. I cannot believe I enjoyed vegan ice cream so much. Not sure I would've even noticed if I hadn't seen it marked vegan on the menu. Let me back up a sec before I got back to extolling the virtues of cloudforest chocolate hazelnut cookies and cream. Visiting Seattle for the first time and was getting a little walking tour in Capitol Hill from a friend. It was after a great dinner, but he repeatedly brought up at the table the need to save room for the BEST ice cream. The long line didn't discourage us. We queued up and patiently waited our turn. I'm usually a peanut butter cup or birthday cake batter basic kinda gal, but I can't resist hazelnut AND cookies and cream. The coconut cream is what makes it so creamy without the dairy, but it doesn't taste overpoweringly like coconut. Ate all of my generous serving. You can smell them making the fresh waffle cones...please open a store in DC! read more

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Overall: Wow...seriously good ice cream. Addiction at its finest The good: Arguably some of the best ice cream I've had, ever. It's hard to go wrong with any of the massive list of options to choose from, and we went back 4 times in 4 nights. It's that good. Creamy base with generous portions of mix-ins, whether it was the chocolate gooey brownie or the sea salt with caramel ribbons - every bite is packed with flavor. Pair it with hot waffle cones and you're bound for glory. Even the vegan options were divine. And, the service was friendly every time. The not-so-good: Lines get a bit long during rush hour, so you may have to wait 10 minutes or so, but that just gives you time to ponder between all the flavors Food: 10/10 Atmosphere: 9.5/10 Service: 10/10 read more

Salt & Straw is always a classic for dessert. They have seasonal flavors that rotate every month and you can also try samples before deciding what you want. Service at this location is great, but it does get pretty crowded and line can move slow depending on the number of workers as well as number of samples people want to try. I also like how there's some (limited) indoor seating. This location of Salt & Straw is located in a busy part of Capitol Hill, so it can be difficult to find parking. read more

Oh my! I was thrilled when I saw Salt & Straw in Seattle!! I had Salt & Straw for the first time while I was in SF; I could not stop talking about it. When we arrived, the line was out the door. However, the line moved quickly -- about 10 minutes. As we approached the counter, the employees were extremely friendly and more than happy to assist. I was between two flavors and the employee suggested I sample both. I still couldn't decide, so I got both flavors. I got the sea salt with caramel ribbons and chocolate gooey brownie. read more

Love this place - both in-person and via shipment. I've tried several flavors and my faves are the marionberry, coffee, and pear and blue cheese. I thought the coffee was so delightful with the crunch. The service was friendly and fast. The biggest downside is there was no place to sit inside and we had to find a bench nearby. read more

Living too close to salt & straw is so dangerous to my wallet! I can't help wanting to go in every time that amazing smell wafts through the air when I walk by. And then the deal is sealed when I look at the seasonal flavors. There's always something so different and so interesting I can't help but need to try it. Today in particular it was the brie and fig jam cheesecake. SO GOOD. And I always get a split scoop so I got the deviled egg custard with smoked black tea with it. What other place would have flavors like this?? (There was also a fried chicken one!) read more

Great ice cream! Love that they've got a good blend of classic and unique combinations of flavors, personally my favorite is the honey lavender. They've always got lovely staff and casual samples in which I was able to get a taste of some interesting flavors. They also got homemade cones, which I don't usually get due to messiness, but it's definitely appealing to the ice cream crowd. I can't say I love all their flavors, though that's expected. I would say their ice cream is good, but not ambrosia for me. :) Still, it's definitely a treat every once in a while. read more
