    Salt & Straw is one of those places that's actually worth the line. The flavors are creative and fun. And Five stars to any place that lets my dog participate in dessert too.

    I tried one of Salt and Straws limited edition flavors. I tasted the Tomato Gelato, but it tasted odd so I had the Melon and Prosciutto. It only had bits of prosciutto in it so it really had no prosciutto flavor. It just tasted like melon. lt's about $7 for one scoop. Wow Pricey! Could buy a whole quart of ice cream at the grocery for that.

    I can't believe I've never written a review for this place! I've gone to this location probably 20 times in the last few years. The staff is always super friendly and helpful! My favorite regular flavor is the salted and malted one, but this time around I tried the pots of gold and rainbows seasonal flavor! They always have very interesting monthly flavors and this one was delicious. Not too sweet and I think they have the best waffle cones anywhere! It's of course a super cute spot with a good amount of seating if you want to eat there, indoor and outdoor. It can get really busy, but they have really worked out their line system and I've never waited more than like 20 mins.

    It was a nice day on Pike and decided to treat myself to some ice cream. I'm lactose intolerant so I checked on line to see if they had either non dairy options. They had two. Hazelnut Cookies & Cream or Strawberry Coconut Water Sorbet. Choices, choices. I went with Strawberry Coconut Water Sorbet. You wouldn't think it but the Strawberry Coconut Water Sorbet had less of a coconut flavor than the Hazelnut Cookies & Cream on the back end. I'm not a fan of a heavy coconut flavor for non dairy ice creams. It was so good the container was my dinner.

    I love going in and getting to try the different flavors they offer. My go to is the chocolate gooey brownie.

    I've lived above salt & straw for 4 years and recommend it as a place to stop by every month or two. The rotating menu is best during the Christmas menu (the Thanksgiving menu often falls short). Big fan of the creative flavors--always fun to stop in and try some of the more unusual ones (pickles???). Staff is always very patient and friendly, and interior is quaint but clean.

    Came here during the opening week of this location, and I left pretty disappointed. There was one staff member who spent most of his time flirting with customers and only offering samples to these two girls that he found attractive. I am not saying that I am owed special treatment, but at least acknowledge my presence -- Adam and I waited almost 15 minutes just to sample the limited-edition Thanksgiving flavors. I eventually had to reach out to a different staff member to help me... Another issue was the lack of transparency with charges. I ordered a milkshake and chose pistachio milk with whipped cream because they asked if I wanted it. I normally do not like whipped cream, but I figured, "Why not?"...I was not told it cost extra, only to find it added $0.75. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to know beforehand so customers could make an informed decision. Aside from the sampler guy, the rest of the staff were actually very kind and did not make me feel bad for customizing my order. The shop was also very clean, which I appreciated. However, I was surprised there was no bathroom on-site -- you have to go to Pike Place Market instead. Since this is downtown, I feel like they should put up a sign so customers do not come in with the assumption that there is a restroom available. Now, on the bright side! The chocolate milkshake with pistachio milk was incredible. It reminded me of a Dubai-style chocolate drink -- rich, layered, and super duper smooth!!! chose three ice cream flavors (coffee, hazelnut, and chocolate chip cookie dough), and the combo was too good for my own good. I finished it in three minutes, which is wild because I am usually the type who holds and sips on their drink throughout the entire day.

    Such a festive red store front, perfect for the holiday. It is so eye catching. NEW LOCATION: pike place. Actually right across from pike place entrance. Seating: indoor and outdoor. Parking: well, it is in downtown Seattle and by pike place. There's a bunch of pay parking lots surrounding the area. It is always a challenge in downtown Seattle. They just opened a week ago, so it is still kinda empty. But they have their holiday Thanksgiving flavour are out. Yay. The girl that helped us was super duper nice. Thank you whoever you are. Can't wait for their Christmas flavours.

    Salt & Straw in Seattle never disappoints :) They let you taste flavors before you pick, which is awesome, and they always come up with unique, new options. Some of my favorites are Chocolate Gooey Brownie, Honey Lavender, Birthday Cake and Blackberries - so good every time. Definitely a must for ice cream lovers!

    Came for their free birthday scoop today and wow was it good! Size and taste certainly exceed expectations. Black berry birthday cake was quite good! There's a good reason why the line is so long. Place did seem understaffed though. One person to scoop and ring up for most of the 20 minutes we were there was definitely not enough imo. Good service though and somewhat limited seating space but ya don't really need to sit to eat ice cream so there's that.

    I tried Salt & Straw for the first time in LA a few years ago so was excited when I found one in Seattle so I had to go and see if it was as good as I remembered. Spoiler alert- it was. They have such fun flavors that we got to try but ultimately I went with the strawberry tres leches and YUM! HIGHLY recommend trying it out before it rotates out. When we arrived, the line was out the door but luckily it was a nice night and it moved fairly quickly. Inside, there is not much seating so you should plan on taking your ice cream to go.

    Maple koginut, a delicious November seasonal flavor
    Angela W.

    This is a bustling Salt & Straw with crowds even late on a freezing night, which is when my friend and I stopped by to try their November seasonal flavors. This location is larger than my local Salt & Straw and had three stations going at once. Each tasting station would work with a group of people at a time, and overall the line moved pretty smoothly. There was also seating inside, which is appreciated given how cold it was. I sampled most of the November specials, thoughts below: Parker house rolls with salted buttercream: This was blander and less bready than I expected. It mostly tasted like a sweet cream ice cream. I would have loved more bread in the ice cream. Maple Koginut squash with pomegranate: this was the clear winner for both me and my friend, and the flavor we ended up getting. It was slightly savory, sweet and tart from the pomegranate, and the ritz crackers added a nice crunch. I liked it so much I ended up getting a pint, which I have never done at Salt & Straw before. Turkey stuffing with cranberry sauce: This was such a strange flavor, it definitely tasted strongly of turkey sausage. The person helping us confirmed that we were ok with meat products before giving us a sample, which I appreciated. Cranberry Orange sorbet: This was very refreshing and fruity. Definitely tasted like a thanksgiving fruit treat. I love trying the monthly specials and am glad I found a hit with the maple koginut flavor.

    I absolutely love going to Salt & Straw! You'll probably catch me there almost every month trying out their new seasonal flavors. When I'm not feeling adventurous, I always go back to my classic favorite, the Chocolate Gooey Brownie. Their ice cream definitely leans on the sweeter side, so I usually share a split single scoop with my husband, just enough to hit the spot. The unlimited samples are such a nice perk, the staff is always friendly, and even if there's a line, it moves quickly. Definitely one of my go-to dessert spots after dinner if I'm around Capitol Hill!

    How large is the single scoop and split scoop? Are both 4 oz? or 8oz?

    Do they still offering the black ice cream? I heard it's caramel flavored but never saw nor tried it before!!! When will it be out again?

    They didn’t have it when I was there Sept 28th, but that sounds delicious.

    Where is the best place to park on Saturdays?

    There's street parking around the area, but I would suggest taking the bus so that you can also explore Capitol Hill as well

    Wow I can't believe I haven't written a review yet…read more Been in the city for several years and it has been consistently good! I'm not a salt and straw fan because I prefer the thicker textures that Molly moon has and prefer their monthly flavors too. It's less eccentric. I'm always looking forward to June for Blueberry Pie flavor. I will say, the take home pints taste worse than in-store. So I've stopped getting them and would just come inside. I do very much appreciate the service, no matter what time of day I come. And the tip-free policy just makes it so much more stress-free when an ice cream scoop is already $8 these days.

When I mentioned that I had asked for vanilla, she rolled her eyes and went back to chatting while I stood there waiting. Another employee eventually stepped in and remade it, but the sundae was missing the nuts. At that point I didn't feel like asking again, so I just left. The sundae itself was also pretty underwhelming compared with what I remember from when they first opened. Overall, the place feels like it has gone downhill a lot. It makes sense now why it was empty on a warm weekend evening, when this same spot used to have lines out the door.
