My friend and I came in after boiling outside and this hit the spot! Salt & Straw has fast service, kind employees, and unique flavors that are delicious! I had a wonderful time trying different flavors and combos. The inside didn't have a lot of seating, but was very historic and inviting on the inside. I hopefully come back again before I leave Seattle, otherwise I will be dreaming of this ice cream again and again in Illinois
This place had the most interesting ice cream flavors I've ever seen. We got lots of samples, and some of the best ones were the huckleberry oat crisp with porcini, which sounds super weird, but was very good. Another good one was the strawberry pretzel salad. I didn't get the marionberry goat cheese habanero flavor, but I tried it, and it was actually spicy. I'd give this place a shot.
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 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'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.
A local friend had recommended this ice cream place to us a few times, so we finally decided to give the U Village location a try. We shared one of their hot fudge brownie sundaes--I can't remember the exact name--and the portion was easily big enough for two people. The ice cream and brownie combination was a nice treat, but overall it was way too sweet for our taste, especially with the hot fudge and all the toppings together. Service was friendly and the shop had a fun, casual atmosphere. While we probably wouldn't order the same sundae again, we'd definitely come back to try some of their regular ice cream scoops.
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!
I love going in and getting to try the different flavors they offer. My go to is the chocolate gooey brownie.
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 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.

WHEN: Tue @9:30pm What's interesting about Salt & Straw is they put a lot of thought and process behind their flavors down to the science. Like they know what they are doing when decide on the interesting combinations of flavors. Yes, some sound weird but some are surprisingly good--and to each their own. If you go to their website they will explain what every flavor is, and describe what notes there are. I've tasted some flavors that were either good or not good, but I remember regretting not getting the Pear and Blue Cheese at a previous visit, so I went with: PEAR & BLUE CHEESE - Single - $5.95 They candy Oregon bartletts to bring out their flavor, then fold in cave-aged crumbles of Rogue Creamery blue cheese (voted best in the world) for a bold thwack. Made with Rogue Creamery. The pear was wonderful and sweet but the cheese was quite the blue cheese you'd expect to taste. If you get a bite where it's both it's pretty decent. I'm so full form dinner so it took a lot to finish this extremely rich scoop of ice cream. I'm glad this place opens late. They don't have tables but at least there are benches to sit outside even though it's quite cold. I just wish my friends were down to share an ice cream flight with me. read more
Such fun, delicious, and unique ice cream flavors!! My boyfriend and I ordered different flavors off their seasonal menu and it's no surprise it was fantastic! The servers were very helpful and kind - they were so nice when letting us try all the different samples! The ambiance was very cool and also cozy since the space isn't too huge but very lovely overall! Flavors in photo: Left: a) pistachio w/ saffron & rose water, & b) lemon marigold sherbet Right: a) rhubarb crumble w/ anise, & b) salted, malted, choc chip cookie dough read more

Hi Mikey, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're…
Salt and Straw is a lovely ice cream shop located right in the ever popular Cap Hill neighborhood of Seattle. They feature a variety of ice cream flavors ranging from very unique to the standards. This place is set up like your typical ice cream shop - hop in line and wait for it to be your turn. Then you'll be helped at the front by a server where you are also allowed to sample some flavors before you buy. The ice cream is a bit expensive, albeit normal for Seattle prices, but I'd say this one was well worth it. I ordered a single scoop of cookie dough and I was really impressed. The ice cream was creamy, there was a lot of dough mixed in, and it all tasted so fresh. We went at a pretty normal time and there was a long line, but it moved really fast so I wouldn't worry. I would definitely recommend this place! read more
Many different and unique flavours with some seasonal flavours on rotation. I thoroughly enjoyed the olive oil flavour which was mild and tasted like a richer vanilla. There are a few locations so salt and straw can be your next spot to get your ice cream fix read more

Love the ice cream selection here. They always have exciting new flavors for the season and most of them are great. Gets extremely busy for the weekend but they do a great job at making it quick and seamless for everyone. read more

I feel like Salt and Straw has always just been an okay ice cream shop for me. There's always a line, and they do have some interesting rotating flavors. I typically sample the seasonal ones, but they never seem to be as good as my go-to which is the chocolate gooey brownie. Even then, I feel like I could get better at the grocery store for cheaper. read more
Stop in after dinner for some dessert. Yes I will still eat ice cream in the cold winter rains. Upon entrance the girl greeted us and to ask her if we had any questions. You are able to sample the falvors before choosing. There is a slot for spoons to be thrown in, which was pretty neat. I ended up getting the good ole chocolate chip mint on a waffel cone. I believe they make their own waffel cone. Pretty decent size cone. The flavor of the mint was very tasty and not artificially flavored. They do offers different special flavors. Very nice ice cream shop with seatings and small tables. read more

Hi Christine,…
Love salt and straw. This is first time at downtown Seattle location. Nice and quiet and hardly any line. Loads of seating so was a nice change to sit and enjoy inside on a drizzly day in winter. They have all the classics. Favorite is salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough. Seasonal were all vegan. Appreciate they accommodate food allergies but was a bit odd to have all seasonable vegan. Ah well can't complain to have my favorite standard. Salt and straw is also dog friendly so you don't have to stand outside in the rain with your pooch! read more

I've been to salt & straw in WA & CA and it's consistent! The store smells sweet and yummy even from the outside. Seating inside is limited; many people stand around to eat and chat with their ice cream. The chocolate gooey brownie has been my go-to for years and I either order it in a kid's scoop in a cup or waffle cone. The waffle cone can taste good or ok depending on freshness. read more

Hi Vivien,…
Salt and straw has a lot of unique flavour for gelato. The staff was so friendly and let me tried multiple flavours! They have flavours like olive oil which low key reminds me of butter . I've got honey lavender and a pear blue cheese gelatos . Honey lavender is what I expected and pear blue cheese is very unique. There's candies pear in it which makes the texture good. There is a little bit of blue cheese chunk too. I'm not a big fan of blue cheese so I wouldn't recommend it if you detest blue cheese. It wasn't bad overall though, as the pear flavour made up for it. read more

ICE SCREAM for ICE CREAM! Nobody does ice cream and FUN flavors better than Salt & Straw!!! We've been to most locations from Portland to LA to Downtown Disney to San Diego and it's always consistent. This location doesn't disappoint either! It's October so they've got some very fun flavors. The creepy crawler flavor actually has real crickets in it which is super cool. I went with something more fall-ish and got Jack O'Lantern Pumpkin Bread. It had the right amount of pumpkin and cream cheese frosting and is now my favorite fall flavor! Make sure to get it on their fresh waffle cone and have a sweet scare! read more

This ice cream chain never cease to amaze me! Sooo many different and unique flavors to choose from! With their seasonal rotating flavors, the shop really grabs the attention of many. The location my group and I went to is located on the corner of E Pike St and Boylston Ave in First Hill. This is one of their busiest locations in Seattle as the line always seems to wrap around the block every night. There's only street parking around the area which could be difficult to find especially on the weekends. My boyfriend and I shared a double scoop in a cup. This time around, we chose to try their Cinnamon Snickerdoodle and Cold Brew Cashew Praline. The scoops were HUGE (peep at the double scoop waffle cone pic). The one we got came in a 16oz cup! Did not expect that at all. The snickerdoodle had a strong cinnamon taste which I didn't really care for, but it brought out the distinct flavor. The cold brew didn't really taste like coffee and the cashews threw me off LOL. Both were very creamy and a great combo that complimented each other! I enjoyed our little after dinner treat! My friends got the Honey Lavender (strong lavender, floral flavor; something I would get tired after a while as I'm not a huge fan of floral treats) and Marionberry (unexpectedly very tarty as I recently had a dessert with sweet marionberry). We didn't go for their crazy flavors this time around but definitely will in the future! Can't wait to see their new seasonal fall flavors soon. read more
This location is great!! Always great quality ice cream at Salt & Straw. I came on a SUPER busy Saturday. Waited about 10 minutes. Their staff is very organized and went out of their way to get customers in line samples before they reach the bar. Definitely recommend checking out! read more

TLDR; Exceptional ice cream in a shop with fair prices. Don't let long lines deter you away. As an ice cream lover, Salt & Straw is top tier ice cream! My boyfriend and I came to visit this location as we were craving some late night ice cream during our vacation in Seattle. There is no Salt & Straw locations from we are from, so it was exciting to try! I recommend Salt & Straw to anyone who is a fellow ice cream lover, you'll taste the difference! At first I was intimidated because there was a line out of the door at 10pm while it was 30 degrees out, but they are pretty fast at getting you in and out! The ice cream shop has lots of seats and standing room for you to enjoy your cone! I personally got a double scoop of the chocolate gooey brownie and double fold vanilla in a waffle cone. My boyfriend got a double scoop of honey lavender and double fold vanilla in a waffle cone. The honey lavender is only one of their wacky limited flavors, I would definitely recommend sampling their flavors because they're pretty solid! The actual ice cream itself tasted great. I feel like you can tell it's better quality ice cream because it tasted rich and creamy, their vanilla was the best vanilla ice cream I've had, and so potent! I will miss the Pacific Northwest, they have definitely proved their ice cream is better than some other chains I've tried in the Midwest. read more

Hi Aracely,…
Salt & Straw elevates ice cream with their inventive flavors and creamy textures. Their unique combinations, like local-inspired ingredients, are a treat for adventurous foodies. The strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper was definitely interesting to try. read more
We walked over here after dinner at Biang Biang Noodles. The line was very fast moving. There were benches outside that we were able to enjoy our dessert on. 5/5 - Wild-Foraged Berry Slab Pie: Wild berry pie filling with pie crust in salted vanilla ice cream. Delicious. 4/5 - Snickerdoodle Cookie: really good 4/5 - Strawberry Honey Balsamic w/ Black Pepper: fun mix of flavors The food came out to 4.3 stars. I am bumping it up to 5 because of the unique flavors and the quick and friendly service. read more

Have you ever tasted something and had a Ratatouille moment where your taste buds feel an explosion of flavors? I have, right here at Salt & Straw. It has been my guilty pleasure every time I've visited the west coast. There have been days where I've dreamt of the honey lavender, the strawberry balsamic, or the sea salt caramel. I'm glad I've been able to satisfy my cravings three times during my short stay in Seattle. Salt & Straw - will you ever open on the east coast? read more
Great service and even greater tasting ice cream. The lines do go by quickly here, and I always feel welcomed any time I visit. I do miss when they had different flavors for each state, but now it looks like they have condensed the west coast to all the same flavors. One of my favorite things is seeing which new flavors they have each month, but I will always be fond of the classic Pear and Blue Cheese flavor. read more

Hi Salina,…
A cute little ice cream chain that I was dying to try in Seattle. I wouldn't consider Salt & Straw among some of the best ice cream, but I do like the creativity and outside of the box flavors. They've got some really interesting flavor combinations and I like that they switch up the flavors of the month. Three separate scoops of ice cream set me back about $20. That's not cheap by any means and was actually surprising for the small amount that we got. The sea salt with caramel ribbons tasted a little off and gave off a sour taste. The chocolate gooey brownie was quite good, but a little too chewy for my liking. Overall, I love the creativity that Salt & Straw creates with their ice cream. read more

Hi there,…
Good place for dessert. Place is small with outdoor benches to sit and hang. The ice cream is different than what I'm used too. I think the milk made for the ice cream is different. Overall the ice cream is good and worth the trip . read more
Best ice cream in Seattle, hands down. No place ever does it as good for me!!!! My go to is the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough - if you want the perfect blend of salty and sweet GET THIS. Depending on the time of the year, you might see a line and will have to wait 15 min but so worth the wait and it moves quickly. The staff are so kind and will let you try an endless amount of flavors. Not really much space to sit in the place but I'd recommend taking the ice cream and going to Cal Andersen nearby to enjoy. read more

Wow, I loved this ice cream shop! Their flavors are so unique and definitely strange. I was too scared to go too out of my comfort zone so I just got a cinnamon snickerdoodle, the kid size. Don't be fooled by "kid size" because it was more than enough ice cream for me and I can eat a lot of ice cream! The ice cream was so delicious, I'm a sucker for cinnamon ice cream! I also taste-tested the olive oil ice cream, which I've heard is a thing and have been wanting to try so I'm glad I was able to try it! It was super creamy but the aftertaste was a little too salty for me. Other than that, it's not like it tasted like olive oil at all. So sad that they don't have these where I'm from but if I'm ever on the west coast, I will have to go again! read more
Salt and straw has quickly become my favorite ice cream spot since moving here. The flavors are rivaled only by local ice cream shops, but they are by far the best ice cream chain I've ever been to. I love the seasonal flavors, especially the fall pumpkin bread. The samples are always generous and service is consistently friendly. The only con is the difficult parking - walk if you can! read more

How does the new vegan caramel cupcake compare to the non vegan version? I love and miss the original, and I'm trying to decide whether to include the vegan one in my order. How are they similar/different?
Great Question! These flavors are super similar. Our Renewal Mill's Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcake (v) is made with a vanilla oat milk cream with the same chocolate cupcakes and salted caramel buttercream frosting turned vegan! It might be a touch…
How large is the single scoop and split scoop? Are both 4 oz? or 8oz?
I don't know exactly how many ounces they are. It varies depending on who's scooping your ice cream. In theory the split scoop should be the same size as a single scoop but in my experience you get more when you order a split. I'm a big guy and a…
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
