strawberry and coconut water sherbet
Wendy C.

This ice cream shop is located in downtown disney. The lines may be super long at times but it moves quick. They let you try out different flavors before ordering. I ordered the strawberry and coconut water sherbet. It was perfectly sweet and refreshing. I love how they give big scoops as well. Great spot for dessert!

Birthday Cakes and Blackberries + Chocolate Caramel Smoked Budino

I can't stress how much I love this place without sounding insane. Every time I'm at Disney I have to stop by & check out the new monthly flavors - was lucky to come during their summer berry series! The birthday cakes + blackberries flavor is sooo good. The tartness of the blackberry really cuts through the sweetness of the vanilla & cookie. Everything is also so creamy and rich. Salt & Straw is the best, they always keep things interesting with their rotating flavors, and it's great that they have a standard set menu as well :)

Hours that aren't accurate

So we had a birthday girl who was so looking forward to a birthday ice cream taco all day. We arrive at 11:15p and contrary to the Salt and Straw website, Yelp and Google that say that their hours were until midnight -- they were cleaning up and doors closed. It was a super disappointing moment to a 9th birthday celebration. It would be great to update hours so people can plan accordingly and avoid the bummer.

I took my Disney buddy with me and have her try this ice cream place. I've had Salt and Straw several times now even in Portland, OR and even though it's on the pricey side, I do love the play on flavors. What's great about this place is you can sample any flavor and they use an actual spoon. Plus, they give you a good amount on the sample. My friend was impressed and we got one scoop each on a waffle cone. The cashier also validated our Downtown Disney parking ticket since it was at least $20 purchase. I do agree with the other comments that it does melt a little faster which I didn't remember that from before. Anyway, will still come back when we are back at the parks or Downtown Disney!

Not my first time at Salt & Straw, but my first time at this location. I have walked past Salt & Straw more times than I can count, and finally decided to stop in for an ice cream. While many of the flavors sounded delish, I got a chocolate brownie scoop, and my husband got a salted caramel scoop. Both were good despite being a little melty. The biggest reason for my 3 star review was for the service. OMG is the service at this location of Salt & Straw lackluster though. No hi. No hello. Just what flavor do you want... No, it was not busy when we went in. Maybe about 2 people ahead of us in line around 3pm. There are better ice cream selections within the Disneyland resort. Go to one of them instead. Clarabelle's is the yummiest!

Seasonal flavors always changing! We dropped by after dinner from the brewery and our Disney date. Perfect end to our night. Magic key holders aka Disney season pass holders get a waffle cone for free! Decided to get 2 scoops in a waffle cone. Couldn't resist the fresh waffle aroma! Went with a seasonal and a classic. Peanut butter and jelly and the sea salt ribbon caramel. Definitely could have done a spilt scoop. Great treat to end the night. One day I'll get their cake! The carrot ice cream cake looks amazing!

Located in the Downtown Disney District and a wonderful place for dessert when walking in the area. Lots of UNIQUE FLAVORS and all of them are pretty delicious - I always enjoy a salted caramel ice cream and this one was very enjoyable. You can try SAMPLES of the ice cream flavors before ordering, which is helpful. No indoor seating provided by the restaurant BUT seating can be found across the way nearby. Quick service. Yummy waffle cones. Just a little bit on the pricey side but worth it.

This was my second time at salton straw. Bottom line, it's a fancy ice cream place. This one is located in downtown Disney. The sun was blazing, and it was hot. I went with a strawberry survey that was light and delicious. Super refreshing on a hot day. Last time I did go more exotic, with my flavor choices.And sampling, but because it was so hot, I stuck to basic. Pro tip: since this is a busy location, order online. True score: 3.75

Flavors change often

Our family loves salt n straw. I love their olive oil and pear flavor and I really love their vegan options. For hella long, I think this was just a so cal thing, bc I remember only getting it when I'd be in SD or in the LA area. However, we have a few in the city now. There's one in hayes valley and one in pac heights. I went once to each here in the city, but realized we have better, old school, local options here for vegan ice cream (or reg ice cream lol)- but for some reason, whenever we're at Disneyland we hit this spot up almost every day. I'll be honest, we valet the car and then stay on property the whole 2 weeks, so our food standards drop a lot and our options become extremely limited. We like to not break the magic of Disneyland by leaving the property. However, my cousin, who lives in the OC, stopped by and he had never had salt n straw before and he thought it was hella good. Like, he was thoroughly impressed lol. I'll give it 5 stars, but I'd like to give it 4.5 lol the prices are amazing and the free samples are (expected) and appreciated, the line moves quickly- however, the service at the cash register is really hit or miss.

This was my first visit to this salt and straw location here in downtown Disney. I remember seeing that they had the tacolate which is the interpretation of Choco taco. So I had to stop in and sell that line wasn't too long so I decided to stop in. I also tried a couple of the seasonal flavors and everything is so delicious in a unique here. Some of the flavors are a little too unique, but it's also creative of what they have done The queue does rub around inside, but that's just how in Disney is. All the team members are here and the line goes by fairly quick, which is great. They'll let you try some of the samples, which is great so you know for sure what you want And then the very end is where you make your purchase. This is the place to go for unique and delicious tasting ice cream treats Overall, they have a lot of interesting and creative flavors. It's worth it trying and you might find a new favorite of yours. Everything is amazing and darn those waffle bowls - they smell so good.

Duuuuuude!!! Mobile order! After a long day at Disney my kids wanted ice cream, but the line was so long,maybe 45 mins of a wait, and I chose to mobile order and see if it would make a difference. IT DID! After placing a mobile order, I received a text maybe 5 to 7 mins later that my order was ready. Got two chocolate ice creams for my kids in less than 10! thanks to mobile order. Man, what a great invention!

The "standing" flavors....all worth a scoop or two!
Jenny C.

Visited Salt & Straw in the Downtown Disney area and it was such a nice ice cream shop. The flavors are definitely unique--this summer month was focus on "farmers market" so sounds a little bizarre at first--but they're surprisingly complex and really well done like the dill + cucumber flavor, you could ask for samples. I tried several on the "limited edition" menu board. Even the ones I wasn't sure about ended up tasting good and intentional. The ice cream ingredients are certainly above average and creamy. This year, they have strawberry waffles cones, in addition to the standard cones. Soooooo tasty! The staff, of course, is nice and efficient. Perfect spot if you're feeling adventurous with ice cream. The downside there's no inside sitting so you grab your ice cream, continue walking and browsing the decorative areas that Downtown Disney got to offer.

Caroline P.

Yes, I fell for the hype. I came here after our Din Tai dinner to get some ice cream for the girls and I. I enjoy how you are able to taste test the flavors (without abusing of course), before committing. It is definitely an adult version of baskin Robbin's. I do mean it as a compliment. The flavors were unique but definitely higher priced. Must consider the location for rent and any Disney associated property will have a higher price tag. Was the ice cream good? Yes. Would I come back, my e wallet says no. lol

Ask the Community - Salt & Straw

Are there any sugar free options or no sugar added options? TIA.

Unfortunately no.

Is this in the Disneyland park?

This is outside the parks located at downtown Disney.

Dairy free options?

Hi Kylee! Yes, we do have several vegan and dairy free flavors! Check out saltandstraw.com to find our current flavors. All vegan flavors are labeled with a (v).

Is pots of gold and rainbows flavor available all the time?

Do they sell ice cream cakes?

no, they do not

Does this location always have an oat milk ice cream option?

Nope. It's annoying that they advertise as having vegan options but it's really hit or miss.

Please find a way to have curbside pickup at the parking lot next to Disneyland Hotel?

that's never going to happen

Is the $10 flat rate parking fee even with validation?

They don't validate anymore as far as I know. It's a flat $10 fee that gets your car admission to park & you into downtown Disney area and parts of California adventure.

Can you go without Disney pass?

Yes you can.

Are the cones vegan as well?

Yes, the standard sugar cone. Not the waffle cones

Do they validate parking for Downtown Disney visitors only?

Yes they validate parking if it's over a $20 purchase.

Is there a Disney Annual Passholder discount? Yup. Thanks Lynda. I just asked too. Got 10% off but…

They've now changed it to a $1 off pints and no 10% discount

Came for Filipino-American History Month (October) and had a great experience! They did great with…read morethe flavors of the month. As a Filipino, I HAD to try the October flavors. I ended up sampling every single flavor, but ended up getting a scoop of Thai Tea After Dark (I know it's not a Filipino flavor per se but it was so good!) I tried the Sans Rival and it really tasted like the dessert! The cashew really came through. The Guava Sampaguita was really fruity and flavorful! It was also a bit floral, which isn't always my favorite flavor, but it was well balanced here. The Taho tasted EXACTLY like Taho! I could actually taste the tofu. Wild! The arnibal was really sweet, just like it is in real taho. I didn't think I could eat an entire scoop of it cuz it was pretty sweet and the texture wasn't as creamy/smooth since it's a sherbet and not an ice cream. Sapin Sapin was great and I could taste all three flavors! And the Iskrambol really surprised me. I didn't think I would like it but the milky banana flavor really came through. I liked that the banana flavor was real and not artificial. I actually considered getting this as a scoop cuz it was so yummy. Ultimately, I got a scoop of Thai Tea After Dark and it was my favorite of the bunch. The thai tea flavor was strong and punchy and was balanced well with the dark chocolate. I LOVED tasting the subtle black tea flavor (lapsang souchong) in the chocolate ice cream. A really good flavor! Thanks Wanderlust for celebrating FAHM!

Located in a nondescript strip mall, the interior is just large enough for a small line to form. You'll likely take your sweet treat home or you'll find a seat at one of the few outside tables. There are about 4 window seats inside but that's it. For my first visit here, I ordered their Vietnamese Rocky Road(contains brownie bites, marshmallows, and walnuts, combined with Vietnamese coffee and sweetened condensed milk). This combination tasted like it sounds and it was solid, but not spectacular. They do have some other interesting, non-traditional flavors here you wouldn't see at Baskin-Robbins. Staff looks to be mostly college students and they did the job well enough.

We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

At first I thought we had definitely come way too early, but by around 8:15 pm, cars were already starting to line up behind us. By 8:30, there were at least eight cars waiting, so showing up early ended up being worth it. They actually opened a little ahead of schedule around 8:45 and came out to take our order. We ordered a dozen donuts with 10 Blueberry and 2 Oreo. They make the donuts fresh to order, so the process does take some time, but WOW, it is worth the wait. The Blueberry Donuts were amazing. They came out incredibly fresh and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The Oreo was really good too, but definitely more dessert-like and a great option if you want something richer and sweeter. I've seen quite a few reviews complain about the wait, and I completely understand that it won't be worth it for everyone. Personally, though, I appreciate that they're making the donuts fresh to order and aren't sacrificing that freshness just to move the line faster. The wait is part of what you should expect when coming here, so I'd just plan accordingly. Overall, M&M Donuts absolutely lived up to the hype and is easily one of the best donut spots I've tried in OC. Be prepared to wait, but for me, the freshness and quality of the donuts make it completely worth it.
