Big mistake....I wish I had stayed here. Sometimes you just want classic flavors done right, and that's exactly what they offer (no over-the-top combinations, just really good ice cream). The ambience is clean, there was a bit of a line but it moves quickly, and they have lots of flavors to choose from. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and they happily let us sample before deciding. The Cookie Monster flavor was unforgettable. Definitely coming back next time.

Oh. My. God. When I first tasted the ice cream, I almost sweet creamed in my cone. (Did that come…read moreoff gross? It was supposed to be cheeky). Anyway- I came because a friend was raving about Salt and Straw and swore by it. Said it was the best ice cream in the world and I had to try. He said I had to have the salted caramel. I am not a huge ice cream person but I do enjoy some once in a while. I've tried Brusters and Handel's and I think they're overhyped. Of course I've had Baskin Robbin's, Thrifty's, Dreyers, Haagen-Dazs and so far HD is my favorite - until today. I had the salted caramel ribbon and I was totally blown away. I LOVED the vanilla ice cream and texture. I thought the caramel was incredible. I had never had ice cream as delicious as this. I called my boyfriend right away because he IS a big ice cream person and I had him choose a couple flavor pints I could take to him. He chose rum raisin and hazelnut cookie. I brought home a salted caramel pint for him to try too. Oh my gosh. We're going to try those together later and I will follow up with another review. So excited. They also have the best waffle cone I've ever had.

Salt & Straw is definitely a fun stop if you're into trying new and unusual ice cream flavors. The…read moreshop has a cool vibe and the staff is really friendly and let you sample a bunch before deciding. Some of the flavors are honestly really good and creative, but a few feel a bit over the top or just not something you'd want in ice cream. It's more of an experience place than somewhere I'd go when I just want a simple scoop. It's also on the pricier side, but that's expected for the type of shop it is. Overall, I'd say it's worth trying at least once, especially if you like adventurous desserts...but it might not be everyone's everyday ice cream spot.

Enjoyed my gelato from here!…read more The worker was sweet and was patient as I tried a few samples. THERE WERE SOOO MANY OPTIONS! I ended up opting for a split scoop of La Brea Tarpits and Cold Brew Crunch. It was such a great combo! I am a chocolate girly so I naturally gravitated towards the chocolate brownie flavor and I am always happy to add coffee flavor to that. I actually really appreciated the serving size for a split scoop as it was a good serving for a person of one! The one thing I noticed was that the La Brea Tarpits flavor was a bit icy and had an ever so slight taste of freezer burn. Overall, I enjoyed my sweet treat from here :)

Delicious gelato in Manhattan Beach!…read more This place has a huge selection of flavors. Samples are welcome! We tried a ton of different options before deciding. The staff is very friendly and super helpful. We had a large group come in, and they were so patient with us! The gelato tastes so good! Everyone in our group loved it and their flavors. You get a waffle cone wafer with your gelato, which is a nice touch. Definitely recommend stopping in. Not often you find a good gelato spot - you won't regret coming here!

They really just seem to wake up and freestyle the whole thing. So, don't get attached to anything ever there. There is a 90% likelihood you won't be able to order it on your next visit. The assortment is also always consistently underwhelming. Finally, the sandwiches. These are a joke for the prices. They make the same basic sandwich you make at home with grocery store ingredients. Not worth it.

Inside is quite cramped and there is only 2 tables outside for seating so keep that in mind if you plan to stay here to enjoy your doughnuts. Apple Fritter was great! Not as crispy as I normally like but the inside was very fluffy and warm, not too sweet. 9/10 Vietnamese Iced Coffee was okay, stronger than I personally like but it's still good. 7/10 Would happily come back to try other donuts and drinks :)
