Double scoop
Lisa T.

Their vegan flavors are so good! I love that you can sample as many flavors as you want before purchasing. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. Definitely always worth it coming here.

Enjoyed our delicious Salt & Straw ice cream on a Sunday afternoon with the family. Excellent customer service at this Salt & Straw location. As usual the employees are very friendly and convince you to try all the samples. During this visit we indulged on Chocolate Gooey Brownie and Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream on cups and a Chocolate Gooey Brownie on a cone. Looking forward to trying out all the different flavors of ice cream Salt & Straw carries especially during this time of the year.

This place has very interesting mix of flavors. This was my second time and my co worker encouraged me to try their unique ones and my mind was blown. I usually pick the classic boring ones but after I try their strawberry/black pepper and pear/blue cheese, I was amazed. I decided to pick pear with blue cheese. The flavor was very original and blend very well. I can't wait to try other flavors. Service was great the server was patient with my tasting and explained each flavors. Ambiance was casual and no seating tables indoor but there were plenty of tables outside available.

Came here after dinner because I'm a huge fan of Salt & Straw. We stopped by around 10pm and there were still tons of people lined up for ice cream. One thing that disappointed me a little was the seasonal flavor selection. Compared to some other Salt & Straw locations I've visited, this one only had one seasonal flavor available that night. I was hoping to try something new, so that was a bit of a letdown. One thing I do appreciate is that they let you sample as many flavors as you want. Unfortunately, I've already worked my way through most of the regular menu over the years, so there weren't many surprises left for me. I ended up getting the Olive Oil ice cream on a cone. It was delicious as always. Rich, creamy, and one of my favorite flavors they offer. Overall, it's still Salt & Straw, which means the ice cream is excellent. I just wish there had been more seasonal options available during my visit. I'll definitely be back, but hopefully next time there are a few more new flavors to try.

I love Salt and straw! I love trying their different and unique flavors! We tried the taco ice cream and it was great! I love the taste to it and the chocolate outside. Get the app to get points!

I had trouble figuring out my 70th birthday free double scoop Salt and Straw app. When I arrived in Culver City to pick up my cone, cashier Leslie said there was no record of my order. She very graciously and sweetly helped me figure out the app. Young people nowadays! I offered to tip her for her help, but she declined. I'll always remember her sweet personality and kindness!

I love Salt & Straw. We are fortunate enough to have a few locations back home in Arizona. I stumbled upon this location while driving through Culver City. Salt & Straw is a Portland based ice cream company that has really made a name for itself since its inception in 2011. Salt & Straw is known for their exotic ice cream flavors like Pear & Blue Cheese, Arbequina Olive Oil and Strawberry Honey Balsamic w/ Black Pepper. They are partially owned by film star and wrestler The Rock. Salt & Straw has their regular menu flavors, but also feature rotating ones throughout the year. I enjoyed coming here because Salt & Straw has flavors that are found only on the West Coast. I got to sample a couple new flavors while here. One thing that I have always enjoyed about Salt & Straw is that their stores are always clean and the customer service is great. They let you sample flavors if you can't decide on what to get. You can also grab a pint to go if you want to enjoy an evening on the couch with some Salt & Straw ice cream. I have tried a number of flavors now and have enjoyed each one of them. You can't go wrong with their signature Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons. I grabbed a drink over at Philz Coffee next door to this store. Their coffee and my Wild-Foraged Berry Slab Pie Salt & Straw ice cream were the perfect combo.

I do think that Salt & Straw is the superior LA ice cream vendor. Especially in July when they have the birthday cake and blackberries flavor ( my favorite of all time). Service is quick, they encourage sampling, and the flavors taste so pure. There is no seating inside, but plenty outside in the promenade.

Making a comeback to this favorite place as they came up with seasonal chocolate theme flavors. I went for the recommended top two by the attendant, Chocolate Gold Almond Bar and Cake Batter Chocolate Fudge. Both were so good in their own way, the first one was more caramelly while the later while certainly let the cake batter flavor shined. So creamy and delectable, as how Salt and Straw always has been! Thanks to the patient attendant, dealing with my dilemma and letting me trying different flavors before making up my mind. PS, they now offer brownie waffle, which honestly smelled so so so good and I would come back for.

First time at Salt & Straw. Not the last time at Salt & Straw! Was having drinks after dinner and saw someone walking down the street with a cone. Decided that was the next stop in the night. I loved that S&S was open until 11p. Having a sweet treat spot that you can go to that late was awesome. Usually when I see this place the one is always long and now I know that's because the product is so good. Admittedly I didn't know the wide range of flavor options because I am pretty much a four flavor ice cream guy. I loved being able to sample all of the ice cream. The workers were very helpful and patient making suggestions based on what I usually like. I needed up going with the double vanilla and salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough double scoop in a cup. DELICIOUS. What a cool spot that I will be coming back to when it is actually hot outside next time.

I love visiting salt and straw at this location because the employees are always so accommodating with providing samples and they are so patient while I make up my mind about what I want. This location is very clean and the service is very quick. The ice cream is always delicious at salt and straw. Some of the flavors sound wild and out of the ordinary, but I'm never disappointed by my ice cream flavor choices. They know how to meld the flavors well to make delicious and unique flavors. The single scoop is generous and very filling, but my favorite is a split scoop because you get a generous portion of two flavors if you can't decide on just one.

Stopped by and tried the seasonal flavor Chocolate malted potato chip cupcake. Pretty sweet but really good if you're craving a sweet treat. Staff was nice and helpful with our samples thank you!

Split flavored Cinnamon Snickerdoodle Apple and Cheddar Cinnamon Rolls really good!!
Michael A.

Thanks to Giovanni at salt and straw for recommending. Tried the Apple Cinnamon Snickerdoodle and Apples & Cheddar Cinnamon Roll flavors--both were incredibly creamy and full of fall flavor. The Apple Cinnamon Snickerdoodle had warm spice notes and chewy cookie bits that balanced perfectly with the rich ice cream base. The Apples & Cheddar Cinnamon Roll was surprisingly delicious--sweet, savory, and buttery with real chunks of cinnamon roll and a hint of sharp cheddar that actually worked! Salt & Straw always nails those creative combos. Definitely a must-try for the season!

Did this place close down ?v Culver City spot closed on a Friday at 7pm, looked pretty empty inside

They should still be open. It could be a temporary adjustment for store hours. I just visited last week

Every time I come here the workers are nice and patient when taking my order because sometimes I try new flavors and take a little longer to decide. But my favorite is definitely the Honeycomb! I love the combination of all its flavors. The creamy ice cream paired with the rich peanut butter, delicious brownie pieces, and sweet honeycomb creates the perfect bite. The peanut butter adds such a rich, smooth flavor, while the brownie gives you those decadent chocolatey bites, and the honeycomb adds a fun sweetness and texture. It's seriously so good that I usually take some to go. The Culver City location is small, but I actually like that it feels more like a quick, casual stop. They have a little seating area outside where you can sit down and enjoy your ice cream. I usually sit there with my doggie Lola. Afterward, you can walk around and do some shopping at the really cool stores surrounding the shop, which makes it a fun little outing rather than just grabbing ice cream and leaving. Parking is also pretty convenient. There's a parking structure right across the street, and it's usually around $2 to park, which is a nice bonus for the area

My mother got Pistachio, and she enjoyed her ice-cream as well (if you prefer something not-so sweet). It was so good, we went to our local Sprouts to buy a pint! So rich and creamy. You wouldn't have to wait long for it to thraw from the freezer. As other yelpers mentioned, there's little to no street parking. So it's highly suggested you park in the structure across the street, or use valet that will lead you immediately to the place on your right-hand side.

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.

I walked up to the window and the worker was hunched over the cooler on his phone, took one glance at me and went back to his phone. No greeting, no acknowledgment, not a single word. I took a moment to check the menu and waited a few more moments in the hopes that he looked up at me - he didn't. I should've just walked away at this point. But I didn't. I said I was ready and asked what flavors he recommends since it's my first time. "Well you can sample the flavors" . . . Me: "oh I know but I'm curious what YOU recommend" So finally he offered the birthday cake and I asked for a sample of the milk moon too. I went with the split scoop for $10 but an extra charge for the seasonal flavor so it came out to $11. I will say - the portion is generous and the presentation is nice. The worker was a little bit more talkative upon bringing my cup and the card reader to pay. But it didn't make up for the initial interaction, or lack thereof. The flavors are pretty mild but the moon milk definitely had the floral and "spiced" flavor to it. It was interesting and different than most ice cream around LA but nothing that made me go "wow" and want to get it again. The vanilla was very mild and tasted more like a milk flavor. Both scoops were creamy and smooth without being too sweet. The birthday cake I sampled was very sweet so I'm glad I didn't choose that. Overall it just wasn't impressive for me to return and the service aspect doesn't help the situation

We've become big fans of Bacio di Latte after visiting their locations in Brentwood, Topanga…read moreVillage, and Calabasas. One thing we really appreciate is that they make their gelato fresh on-site every day, and you can definitely taste the difference. The texture is incredibly smooth and creamy, and the flavors are rich (sometimes overly sweet for me). They have a great selection, so there's always something new to try, including seasonal flavors that keep things interesting. Our favorites so far are the Giandujotto, which has that amazing combination of hazelnut and chocolate, and the Tiramisu, which tastes just like the classic Italian dessert in gelato form. Both are absolutely delicious, and we keep coming back to them even though there are so many other tempting options. Their affogato is also fantastic. There's something about pouring espresso over that creamy gelato that makes for such a great treat, especially if you're a coffee lover. Another thing that stands out is how consistently good the experience has been at all three locations. The shops are always spotless, the staff is friendly and attentive, and service is surprisingly quick even when there's a line, which seems to happen quite often given how popular these places are. Each location has a nice, welcoming atmosphere, and it's always a pleasure stopping by. Bacio di Latte has easily become one of our favorite spots for gelato.

If you're looking for authentic, high-quality gelato with excellent customer service, Bacio di Latte is definitely worth a visit!
