So yum! Love all the flavors, and the staff have been helpful to let us try different ones before ordering. Their waffle cones are delicious, and we love Salt and Straw!! The downside is that it's on a busy corner, so not a lot of seating immediately there, but it is a short walk to the downtown park across the street. read more

Salt & Straw is always a crowd favorite! We dropped by to try out The Chef Series! For the month of June, their limited flavors are curated by chefs from all over the country. Super fun! We got a split scoop of the Cheesecake with Salted Yuzu Curd and the Jasmine Milk Tea Stracciatella which was a last chance scoop. Soooo delish! We were told that the Cheesecake with Salted Yuzu Curd was inspired by Japanese souffle cheesecakes. We could also really taste the milk tea flavor in the Jasmine Milk Tea Stracciatella. Truly top tier picks this time! read more

had higher hopes for the latest flavors but nothing has been WOW for me. flavors were subtle, but the combos are interesting and unique. overall tho, i liked the yuzu cheesecake the most from the new monthly rotation. if u like citrus-y stuff, this one is a no brainer. there's also chunks of cheesecake in it mmmm. had higher expectations for the hk milk tea tho, which was what i was gonna get, but maybe it was just a bad sample, but it tasted like 99% white choc to me (and i love my tea BREWED). service was quick & people were patient with sampling. small corner store and right by the mall so it's super convenient for a pitstop sweet treat. :) read more

Yay we have yet another Salt & Straw to enjoy, this time in downtown Bellevue! One of my foodie friends was craving ice cream after eating in Factoria so we got here around 8pm to a decently long line that thankfully didn't stretch outside on this slightly cold day. As with other locations, there's only bench and wall seating near the front entrance, and standing tables that denote where the line begins and ends. Staff at the front let you try samples of any flavor that is on their menu. I already got to eat all their limited flavors at least once (for the May 2026 season) so I had samples of the cinnamon snickerdoodle, strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper, and the honey lavender flavors. I eventually settled for the last of the three. Their take on honey lavender reminds me of a London fog. No, lavender is not always associated with London fogs but this ice cream somehow reminded me of one anyway! Lavender taste is powerful in this single scoop, and the ice cream itself has a smooth consistency that has been consistently throughout other locations of this chain I have tried. My foodie friends telepathically both got the coffee and love nuts, probably because I recommended it from a past visit here through a Yelp Elite event. It's just ice cream but honestly I'm always down for sweets! I would come back again once they have their new flavors rolling out. read more

I got to check out this Salt & Straw on opening week and really enjoyed my visit here. The store is located across from Bellevue Park and is visible from the street. I got scoops of a few of their limited edition flavors as well as grabbed The Tacolate - an homage to the chocotaco, which was SO good. The staff were also very friendly and helpful with explaining the flavors and I was appreciative that they were patient and generous with samples too. read more

Stopped by while staying nearby, and it was an easy walk from my hotel. The line moved quickly, and the staff was happy to let me sample a few flavors before ordering. They have a fun mix of classic and creative flavors, with plenty of options that are definitely outside the box. I ended up choosing the Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons. It was rich and flavorful, but sweeter than I expected, and I couldn't quite finish my cup. Still, it's worth a visit if you're looking for unique ice cream flavors. read more

What a perfect spot to grab ice cream after shopping at the mall or enjoying the park across the way! The freckled mint chip was delicious! I didn't even realize until writing this that it's vegan. Fooled me! Perfectly creamy and the perfect balance of mint and chocolate. The staff were some of the best I've seen! We saw one server helping a group of 8+ with a smile on her face as if it was no sweat. Shout out to Cas! She was crushing it. Everyone was just so friendly and welcoming. Miraz helped us checkout and was a delight. The space has limited space and no seating, so best to get your ice cream to-go in a waffle cone! read more

Yay!!! Finally open in Bellevue. Parking: you can park in the Safeway parking area or diagonal from it, Macy parking lot. When I got there, it was pretty quiet. Restroom: one gender neutral restroom, code required. They have their new May Monthly Flavour, woohoo. So I got these for my flight: Jasmine milk tea almond (monthly special) Strawberry tree lesches (monthly special) Chocolate Bakba (last chances scoop) Hazelnut cookie & Cream (V) Also sampe other ones too. Wish they have the Guava one , saw it online. Apparently they only have it in Florida. The gal that served me was super sweet, very knowledgeable of the ice creams flavours. Definitely will be back. read more

Salt & Straw just opened in downtown Bellevue, taking over the former Starbucks pickup-only location across from South Lincoln Square and Bellevue Downtown Park. Parking: No dedicated parking--use South Lincoln Square or Safeway nearby. It is walkable from various nearby attractions. I attended the pre-grand opening event, and as expected, there was a long line (about 1.5 hours). That said, the staff kept things moving once you reached the front. Everyone was cheerful, welcoming, and efficient. I ordered a flight: Jasmine Milk Tea Stracciatella, Strawberry Tres Leches, Saffron Milk w/ Wildflower Honey, and Pistachio Ricotta Cannoli. The first three were creamy and flavorful--my favorites. The saffron flavor wasn't for me personally, but still worth trying if you like more floral notes. Bonus: My flight was prepared by Tyler Malek The vibe was lively throughout--lots of excitement, friendly staff, and plenty of happy faces (especially kids getting their ice cream). Overall: Great addition to downtown Bellevue. Expect crowds, but worth checking out--especially for unique flavors. TL;DR: Long wait (~1.5 hrs) during the pre-opening event, but friendly staff and unique flavors made it worth it. Great new downtown Bellevue spot--just plan for crowds and finding nearby parking. Walkable from various attractions. read more

We almost didn't go in because of how long the lines were BUT glad we did because we didn't even stand in line very long. Very organized which makes it faster and efficient. Places like this with long lines i don't mind standing in line because they are quick and of course the ice cream was yummmmy! I had the Chocolate Brownie ice cream. Loved it. read more

Salt & Straw - Couldn't wait, she had to just go in on her ice cream! lol - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Ashton provided the best part of the evening for us! Not only were we greeted with a smile, but Ashton also helped us find the right flavors for our preferences. We loved learning all the latest flavor nuances and combos. Truly enjoyed the service and this location. The line here is worth it! Ashton ensured the line was moving along efficiently while treating each customer with care. Such a fun time and delicious ice cream. Thank you, Ashton, your customer experience skills are top-notch! read more

I love Salt & Straw, and usually go to the one in Kirkland. I'm glad they opened this location, because it's closer to me. I've came twice at night, and it's nice that they close at 11pm, but still pretty busy at nighttime. I love all the variety of unique flavors they offer. All their ice cream is so yummy. My favorite is still the Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. And I just decided on my first visit here that my second favorite is the Strawberry Honey Balsamic w/ Black Pepper. Staff is super friendly, and service is excellent. read more

Glad to see another ice cream option around Bellevue Downtown Park! This is at the northeast intersection near Safeway, which appears to be best place to park. Tons of options to satisfy any taste, I had a flight to try out their limited edition flavors. My favorite was the Strawberry Tres Leches and the Rhubarb Crumble. At other locations I've had their classic flavors, and while good some of the flavors are not as strong as I would have liked. But service is always great no matter the location, they happily let you try as many samples as you want! read more

I've been to many Mariners games where they feature Salt & Straw ice cream and my good friend gets one that I think has beer in it? I was so intrigued by their assortment so I thought I would try it after dinner the other night. Sorry I don't have a pic but I got chocolate brownie which wouldn't have done the pic justice anyway. Oh my gosh I've tasted so many other brands where the chocolate ice cream is so much richer and the brownie pieces don't taste like non-script chunks of nothing. I paid $7 for one scoop and I will not go back. That said, I can't talk for all the other avant-garde choices that were on the board and maybe that's where they shine but definitely not in a basic flavor as chocolate brownie. Very disappointed! read more

Loving the new location! The store is bright is within walking distance from the park and the mall. The staff are friendly and quick despite how busy it can get. No tables inside and they got rid of the benches they had set up right outside the store during opening week so you'll have to take your ice cream to go. read more

Horrible customer service, a female blonde hair and a male with long black hair finished helping others and went back to kitchen and looked at me at me stated laughing, clearly they didn't want to help me - I took my money elsewhere! Rude rude rude service; this was on June 1st. read more

Usually I love this place, but this is the first time I've been at the bellevue location. This time the scoops were so tiny. I paid over $8 for a split scoop and both scoops were way smaller than usual. The ice cream is still good, but the portion definitely didn't match the price I'm really disappointed. read more

I LOVE Salt & Straw, HOWEVER, this location has TERRIBLE line management and time management! I feel like I would rather drive allllll the way to Kirkland than stand at the one in Bellevue while there are two people working and one person making waffle cones as they have 9700 of them already on the counter. read more

Salt & Straw is one of those places that actually lives up to the hype, at least if you're into creative, sometimes borderline weird ice cream flavors. The first thing you notice walking in is the line, which can get long, but they move it pretty efficiently and the staff is generous with samples, so the wait doesn't feel like a chore. This location is a new one, but the staff was very helpful and I got the gooey brownie and it was amazing. First time trying this and will be returning whenever my family and I are in the city. read more
