I had a wonderful experience at this shop! The ice cream here is absolutely top-notch. I ordered…read morethe Belgian chocolate ice cream on a cone with Nutella, and it was super good--the Nutella was a brilliant touch that made it even better. The service was great from start to finish, and the store itself has a very nice, welcoming ambiance. I also have to give a shoutout to their restrooms, which were super clean and well-maintained! My only minor suggestion for the team would be to hand out a few more napkins when giving customers their cones. That delicious Nutella can get a little messy! Other than that tiny detail, this place is perfect. I will definitely be coming back.

Great gelato and love the Nutella filled cups…read more Definitely worth the price. Made the mistake of heading on a weekend when it was crowded, so the workers were a little bit frazzled, but it was understandable given how many people were walking around like they'd never had ice cream before.

I heard they're taking some desserts over to 401K, their gluten free sister restaurant, but we're still soooo sad to hear about their closure. Everyone was always so kind there, and their selection was fantastic. I will be following along to hear of any news; a few of us have asked for a gluten free cookbook to recreate those incredible treats and the owner said it's in the works! My gluten free partner and I will miss their tiramisu terribly. Here's hoping that one day circumstances might be different. So sad to hear.

Since it's quite loud inside it was difficult to communicate about our selections, but service was friendly. Cheesecake was good, lemon bar too sweet for my liking, pumpkin bread ...simply AMAZING, worth a trip just for it. Definitely appreciative for the availability of gluten free treats, even with a limited selection.

Fluffy and moist sponge cake with decently sweet layers of buttercream. The cake design is mostly simple yet still looking gorgeous. My top 3 so far are probably their Vanilla Celebration Cake, Red Velvet, and Carrot Cake. Their various cupcakes are great options too for easier bites! Have been ordering online and only recently paying a visit to their store and am in love with the color palette for sure as it's giving that Tiffany's vibe.

The hubs wanted the fall spice cookie since he's a big fan of pumpkin spice type things. It was a good cookie with warm flavors of fall. I really loved the peanut butter and chocolate cookie. I like cookies that are large with lots of texture, and not too crispy, so this was perfect. Street parking. It did look like it would be a cute place to sit down to enjoy your cookie.

And it's not like they didn't have enough workers the last time I went. There were at least 3 people at the counter but 2 people walking around doing who knows what. There doesn't seem to be a process. Levain is a love it or hate it kind of place, but you're better off going to Erewhon around the corner for a cookie cause they're slower than In N out and in n out has massive lines while Levain has like 3 people in line. Would suggest going to another levain or just go to a smaller cookie shop cause you'll have much better service

I ordered an iced oat milk latte, and my husband also picked up a banana bread loaf for me since it was vegan. The latte was just okay--not the best I've had, but not terrible either. Unfortunately, the banana bread was a bit dry, so I didn't end up finishing it. My husband, however, really enjoyed his gelato flight. I'd definitely go back and try a different drink, mostly because I loved the relaxed, chill vibe inside. Also, surprisingly, the temperature in the shop was super comfortable--I didn't feel like I needed to layer up, which is always a plus. There's a small parking lot in the back, and street parking nearby also seemed pretty easy to find. Overall, a nice spot for dessert with a cozy atmosphere.

We had heard of KINNEY BLVD from the FRIDAY Food Truck Cookout. I learned that that's where they filmed the last scenes in the movie CHEF!!!

We both liked our ice creams!!!

They have interesting flavors and have expanded quite a bit from their start in Oregon. The Abbot Kinney location was packed and service was a bit slow since their was only one person who was scooping the ice cream and serving as cashier. Honey lavender: Steeped lavender petals in local honey, bringing out more complex and herbaceous flavors. Has a distinct light purple color and did not taste like soap like some places that attempt lavender flavors. Hazelnut cookies and cream: Okay, if you think you've had Cookies & Cream, you haven't tried Salt & Straw's Oregon version. Apparently, Oregon grows like 99% of the country's hazelnuts, and they actually use nuts from their own farm for this. It's a coconut cream base with bourbon vanilla, packed with crushed sandwich cookies and this insane hazelnut butter fudge ripple.
