Maybe it was the 8 mile run I was doing before I got distracted by the shop, but the Wild Forage Berry hit the spot. For one scoop, it was fruity and full of flavor. I opted for the waffle cone as well. I fell impressed instantly at first lick and wanted to thank the Asian lady, but it got busy all of a sudden. She also told me they've been opened for a few months now and the Wild Forage is a limited item. Forgot her other recommendation, but I'll definitely be back! It's also a small space with few tables, so I just sat along the restaurant. Though, there are benches out front to sit around. read more

If you want a true ice cream experience then I would recommend that you come here and sample all of their flavors! They are very generous in your tasting their flavors and it's not the small white plastic spoons other ice cream shops use to give you a sample, the spoon is actually a stainless steel silver spoon and once you have sampled what you like then you drop your real spoon in an opening on the side of the counter! IT'S GENIUS!!! Plus if you Scan their Logo, you get a FREE SCOOP! How wonderful is that! The lines were long but it's worth the wait plus you can scan and order for pickup now that's GENIUS! So many flavors I chose Pistachio and Cannoli Cream and Salted Caramel Swirl! Go snd satisfy your ice cream hunger! read more

We've been to salt and straws many times in the west coast and New York and was glad to see a location here in seaport. This time I ordered their double scoop in a waffle cup with honey lavender and salted caramel apple pie ice cream. The honey lavender is my favorite and always my to go flavor. It had a subtle floral note paired with well with honey that gives it an earthy undertone. The flavors are well balanced without being overly sweet. I would always order this along with another seasonal flavor. The salted caramel apple pie was just ok. It tasted pretty good when I tried it but the more I eat it, the sweeter it got. I also thought there were very little apple flavors so I would not recommend it. All of their ice creams are always very rich, smooth and velvety which is why I keep coming back. We came at 9:30pm and there was still a line out the door but the line moved fairly quickly. The staff was extremely friendly and was very patient with us in letting us try all the flavors we want before we decide our order. Overall, they offer many unique flavors and I would recommend to come back over and over again to check out their seasonal menu every now and then. read more

Salt & Straw - Top: Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bottom: Honey Lavender - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Love, Love, love Salt & Straw and this now location in the Seaport area of Boston is excellent! There was a short line when we arrived, and it moved along quickly. The Ice cream flavors at Salt & Straw are always unusual, and I love that they allow you to sample multiple flavors before you make your decision. I went with a two scoop waffle cone with Pistachio Ricotta Cannoli and Honey Lavender (my favorite). It was sooooooo good! My daughter went with a cup of Freckled Mint Chocolate Chip and Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons. This location is large and airy, and there is seating outdoors, but we opted go go a few steps further and eat our ice cream by the water. Salt & Straw is a little more spendy than other ice cream places, but in my opinion, it is worth it for the unusual flavors and the freshly made waffle cones. read more

This location recently opened last week and it's so good! They recommend you to try all the flavors!! I really wanted the cool dog and walked out with that and a two scoop ice cream in a bowl. The scoops are more than decently sized and ideal to share. That staff was so friendly and really looked like she enjoyed what she was doing so we had a fantastic experience while there. It wasn't overly crowded either. I really recommend trying the cool dog. It looks intimidating became it appears big but that's all there is to it. So try it and every flavor!! read more

Our first attempt at Salt & Straw was on a Saturday night, but the line was out the door and down the sidewalk, so we came back another day. We ordered the Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons and Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, both in waffle cones, plus a Tacolate Ice Cream Taco to take home. The Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons was my favorite. Our server was very friendly and even gave us some good tips on the best days and times to return and avoid the crowds. Creative flavors, generous portions and a cool space. Definitely worth a visit, just choose your timing wisely. read more

I loved the quality of the honey lavender ice cream and how unique it was. I thought the waffle cones weren't well executed. People take a really long time to try each flavor as they are not traditional ones. read more

Salt & Straw - Honey Lavender - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

WOW!! Wholeheartedly impressed by this establishment. From the service (generous samples and recs, all with a smile) to the quality of ice cream (seriously boston's best), I've already been 2x within opening week. The ambience is energetic with lines of excited customers, sometimes out the door. With 3 staff scooping, a line to the door is about a 15min wait. Parking in seaport is tough, but this spot is well worth it. There are standing tables within the store, benches right outside, and tables within 50 feet. Price point is as expected for luxury ice cream in Boston - $8/scoop, $11 for a double scoop after tax. Can't wait to keep trying more flavors. read more

Salt & Straw - Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough + Pistachio and Ricotta Cannoli - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

New ice cream spot opened in the seaport is exactly what was missing! The staff was very nice and helped explained the menu. For me, I am a traditional ice cream type of girl so I struggled to find something that didn't make me think twice about ordering but I settled on hazelnut cookies and cream. The ice cream was rich and creamy and definitely could taste the hazelnut. For the price and the exotic favor options, I'm just not sure if it is the right place for me. read more

Unique ice cream flavors. The smell of the waffle cones will draw you inside, even if you didn't want to try. Pretty expensive. One scoop in a bowl was $10. read more

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Super creamy ice cream, good selection of flavors (both novel and classic), and incredible customer service, this is such a good add to the seaport area for a sweet treat! I got to try a bunch of flavors, including the gyuere and tomato (which wasn't as weird as you'd think)! I ended up going with a more classic flavor (Boston cream pie in Boston!!) but highly recommend trying out something new. You'd be surprised! Prices are reasonable for the area, and there's seating right outside. read more

I went and tried their strawberry balsamic and their peach and cream galette. Their ice cream was overall pretty good. I really appreciate their willingness to be creative with flavors. Thats something that is missing in lots of places. However, their flavors could be tweaked a tiny bit in my opinion. The balsamic could have been a touch less due to how acidic it was but it was still very good and a refreshing touch in terms of ice cream. Maybe, the ice cream could have been a bit richer/ creamier or a touch more flavor but that's my own opinion. Overall 8.5/10. Truly awesome that they are courageous enough to bring creative and fun flavors. Very much worth a visit! Cool that they had metal spoons to try out their flavors. The servers were cool too. read more

Waited in line for 40 minutes night of the opening. I like that they have different stations so they can serve different people at once, which is better than the layout of most ice cream shops where it's a one way line. Favorite flavors were berry pie, Boston cream pie, and apple cinnamon. Parking can be pretty tough here though read more

Salt & Straw - Ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I absolutely love their vegan Strawberry and Coconut sherbet! It's so sweet and satisfying, and the flavors are delicious. The employee who scooped all my samples and helped with my order was super sweet and friendly. His manager was definitely keeping him on his toes though lol. The seaside location is excellent, and I also loved the sustainable sampling setup. They use reusable metal sample spoons instead of little plastic ones, which is such a nice touch! Congrats on opening, Salt & Straw! read more

Food: Ice cream was really good, especially the Gruyère flavor! The cone was good too, they make them in house. Service: A little bit rude/not the friendliest. Ambiance: Line moves fast, there is seating outdoors. It was also $10.48 for this cone which is expensive and small portion size. read more

I'm so excited Boston finally has a Salt & Straw, having been a huge fan since I first went to the original in Portland years ago! Instantly joins the ranks of Toscanini's, New City, and others at the top of the local ice cream scene. They have a balance of excellently-done classic flavors and super creative flavors, some of which seem odd at first but are always delicious. The strawberry with balsamic vinegar and pepper is maybe my single favorite scoop of ice cream anywhere... read more

The ice cream was very delicious and had great flavor. However, if you're looking for the highest quality, there are better options available. That said, this place still serves a tasty and enjoyable ice cream. read more

Strawberry Honey Balsamic Black Pepper... may be the best ice cream I've ever had, the depth of flavor in the strawberry was amazing.

Solid B+ for the ice cream and waffle cone. You came for the taste review first, right? In Boston, Toscanini's and J.P. Licks have ice cream that is richer and more transporting. The trappings aren't as fancy, but those are fine ice creams. Salt & Straw offers an experience: good interior design, plenty of staff during Ice Cream Rush Hour, impulse buys (snacks, candles, and even books), and a line of customers. Great staff. The lady who helped me gave me plenty of samples and made good suggestions. If the ice cream were offered at Ice Cream Hut in Anytown, the ice cream would be fine on a hot day, good even, but not great. I've had great ice cream in small towns and in big cities from vendors plain and fancy. For a date or work outing in Seaport, Salt & Straw is a very good choice. If you're just going for ice cream it's still a good choice. YMMV* -*Your Milkage May Vary read more

Hazelnut Cookies and Cream sounds delicious right? Wrong. The coconut cream base just completely overpowers the rest of the ice cream. It's all you can taste. Poor name choice. read more
