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. read more

I already loved Salt & Straw but it's even better when the service is great too, thanks to I believe Heyley? (that's the name on the receipt so I am not sure if she signed into her own when ringing me up) But she was wearing a bandana and was super kind and had a great vibe! I couldn't decide what to order so I asked what she recommended and she chose her favorite the salted malted cookie dough which I had not ordered before! It was rich, full of cookie dough, slightly salty, and creamy like all the S&S ice creams are! Great place for great ice cream with great service read more

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! read more

You can't walk past a Salt & Straw without smelling the sweet flavors wafting out. I decided to try the strawberry balsamic and black pepper and my husband ordered his usual, salted caramel. I only wanted a small portion so I ordered a kids size while he got a double scoop; price came to $14. So definitely on the pricier end when it comes to ice cream but it is delicious and they hand out free samples. Lots of employees working, friendly. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The service here is excellent. Interesting flavors and you can try as many as you want. I got a split scoop of Cinnamon Snickerdoodle and Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie dough. It was so good! Can't wait to come back. read more

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! read more

Salt & Straw is a popular ice cream chain that offers unique and seasonal ice cream flavors. I have visited other locations in the past, but this was my first time visiting the downtown Culver City one. Came here on a Friday evening with a friend and there were people but no line. We were not greeted upon entering, but a staff member helped us pretty quickly. We were able to sample several flavors (mostly the seasonal ones) before we ordered. I ordered a small split scoop in a cup with Jack O' Lantern Pumpkin Bread and Cinnamon Snickerdoodle. The Pumpkin Bread had a good pumpkin flavor with chunks of pumpkin bread it in. It is a good choice if looking for a fall flavor. The Cinnamon Snickerdoodle tasted like the cookie in ice cream form. It was pretty sweet, but there was a good cinnamon flavor. Texture of both ice creams were smooth and creamy. Overall, giving Salt & Straw a 4/5. It's a good spot for getting some unique ice cream flavors, but it is on the pricey side. There aren't any tables inside, so it is a grab-and-go situation. However, it is located in a plaza with several seating options. Would come back to try other flavors in the future. read more

Nice staff and no line Wednesday night. I really like how unique their seasonal menu is and supposedly it'll be apple themed in September. Pickled cucumber was my favorite where it was a perfect balance of pickle juice but fresh cucumbers too. The tomato gelato was a little too mild as the olive brittle overpowered. Chocolate chip zucchini bread was exactly what it sounds like. Melon & Prosciutto was solid and well balanced as well. Sweet and salty. No seating inside but plenty of outdoor seating on the steps. read more

DONT GET THE TACOLATE ICE CREAM ... it doesn't taste great. But everything else is yummy! service is great & ambiance

Love the variety of ice cream flavors that they have. I sampled a few before the server that we had got annoyed and started assuming the next flavor we asked the sample was the one we wanted to buy scoops of. The other server was so much nicer when interacting with customers so I guess we got someone who didn't like their job or customers. The olive oil ice cream with tomato brittle was a unique flavor that I didn't think would work but it does! 5 stars for the ice cream 3 stars for the service read more

Best ice cream ever ever. They are always switching up flavors every month. Super creative flavors. Staff are always so kind

I love coming to this Salt and Straw in downtown Culver for a sweet treat. I usually always get their: Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (5/5) which is their house-made cookie dough with thick malted fudge that tastes like fudgy brownies imo in a salted ice cream base. I love the saltiness of the ice cream with the malt flavor and their cookie dough is the best since it's freshly made and not out of a frozen package. My favorite monthly menu series item is their: Oishii Strawberry Pretzel Salad (5/5): This comes with a cream cheese ice cream base with crunchy, salty pretzel crumble mixed inside with swirls of strawberry jam that has strawberry chunks inside. I loved this combo since it tasted like a strawberry cheesecake ice cream but with pretzels instead that worked very well as it gave it texture. The strawberry jam with Oishii strawberries was to die for. It tasted so fresh and sweet, with the perfect jam consistency. read more

Stopped by for a quick dessert after dinner on Sunday. There was a line inside but it moved very quickly. My partner and I both tried a couple flavors, and we landed on the peanut butter brownie cereal puffs (monthly special) and the hazelnut cookies and cream. We kept swapping our cups back and forth because we couldn't tell which one we liked more! read more

This was my first time at a salt and straw location, and I could tell why it gets so much hype! When my friend and I arrived in the afternoon, there was a bit of a wait. I would recommend maybe eyeing the line and trying to time it when less people are there. I ended up getting the strawberry honey balsamic with pepper, and the honey lavender, after sampling many flavors. A lot of the flavor combinations were so unique and good! I like how my two flavors compliment each other, and it was so refreshing on a relatively warm day. I love ice cream, and this was one of my favorite "unique" flavors I tried-I loved the sweetness of the strawberry combined with the balsamic and pepper taste! I definitely recommend trying out different flavors. My friend got a slightly boozy chocolate flavor and she loved it as well. I want to come back to try the pear and blue cheese (which was surprisingly very good as a sample), olive oil, and other limited edition flavors! I would say the prices were slightly high but honestly the standard for these days. read more

As an ice cream lover, I have pretty high standards, and while Salt & Straw wouldn't be my number one or two, it definitely earns a solid third place for me. The flavors are creative and well balanced, not just sweet for the sake of it, and you can tell the ingredients are quality. The texture was smooth, portions were satisfying, and the staff was friendly and patient despite the crowd. It's a great stop when you want something a little different from classic ice cream. Would I come back? Yes, especially when I'm in the mood to try new flavors. read more

I love their mixture of flavors! I went in ready to order the Honey Lavender scoop (my favorite!) - but curiosity sparked and decided to taste the Blue Cheese Pear, not expecting to like it, I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors really work well together - great ice cream. Good customer service. This location is particularly busy as it sits in the heart of the Culver City stairs- plenty of parking within the neighboring lots. Great vibes and plenty of seating space outdoors to enjoy your treat! read more

This Salt and Straw location is in a good spot. Localized right in one of the best places in culver city, you can grab yourself some ice cream and go hang around. Parking was tricky, I just parked down the street next to the trader joes. There is good list of items to pick here as far as flavors and you can sample of course. I went with the cone. One scoop is enough on either cone or cup. For two people I paid about fifteen dollars. Was the quality of Salt and Straw worth the price? I would say so. Not my first pick for ice cream but still a good spot if you're in the mood for it. read more

Okay this review is for MICHAEL!!!! Seriously the best service, this guy KNOWS his flavors better than anyone I've ever met despite being lactose intolerant?!?! And is SO friendly and chill even with a line of 30 people out the door, definitely will be coming back! read more

I love love love love love everything about this place. It smells heavenly when you walk in! Service is phenomenal. The lines are outrageous so that tells you something... Because if there is nobody in here that would be a problem right...rent ain't cheap on the culver steps. Whatever they're doing, they're doing it and doing it and doing it well... I love to try it all the very interesting variations...it's like...what? On ice cream?!!! Yes. it's always so good, things that sound like they might not go well together do...I'm talking like goat cheese, and blue cheese and like berries and just all kinds of yummy flavors I wish I would've taken a picture of our ice cream but we just dug in so quickly... The only reason for having four not five stars I would've given it 4.75 is the fact that it's pricey two scoops is 15 bucks... I mean it's good and I treat myself to it but it's not like I can do that every day... It is I don't know what would you call it an acquired test for those with a big enough wallet to afford that acquired taste!!! lol! Seriously, I mean it is pricey, but it is worth every dollar! read more

One of the great Salt & Straw locations. Service is friendly and efficient, and you can sample as many flavors as you'd like before deciding. The ice cream is delicious -- I always recommend getting the waffle cone, it really elevates the experience. I'd skip the whipped cream though; I expected it to be freshly made, but it came from a spray can. Parking in the area is quite convenient -- there are public parking garages nearby where the first 90 minutes are free, and it's only a few dollars per hour after that. Street parking is available too, though a bit trickier and metered depending on the time of day. read more

WHY do I happen to live near here and always cross by on my runs?! Why do I even exercise when I just eat it back!? I CAN'T STOP MYSELF FROM THE ICE CREAM!!! 10/10 experience, from the ambience by the Culver City steps, to the music choice, to the excellent customer service. I have always felt loved and well taken care of here by staff like Arely and her team. If in doubt, get the sea salt caramel with ribbons 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Their seasonal flavors are bold and they are not afraid to bust out CRAZY flavors that somehow work?! Great alone. Great with friends. It is greatness in of itself. YES read more

This is in a great spot right on Main Street with lots of shops and restaurants around. It's right by the Culver Steps. It's small with not much seating, but it's clean and the line moved fast. I tried two of their summer flavors, rhubarb with anise and lemon chess pie. Both were super creamy and packed with flavor. The rhubarb one was tangy in a really good way, and the lemon chess pie was rich and sweet with bits of pie crust mixed in. The staff was friendly and let us try a bunch of samples. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. read more

I don't come here often but it's always a delicious experience when I do. The service is friendly and I appreciate that they use metal spoons to sample flavors because that means less plastic waste. I seriously applaud the innovation of whoever creates the flavors at S&S. Wonderfully unique. Make sure to try their seasonal flavors. The portion size is generous here. A kids size is enough for one person easily but because I wanted to try two flavors, I got a single split and it was wayyyy more than I thought. Don't forget to ask them to validate your parking if you parked at The Culver Steps parking garage. read more

Treated ourselves to some ice cream before the movies. Staff was great it wasn't busy so they tooo their time answering questions we had and offering samples. They had two Halloween themed flavors and i tried the one that had licorice not my fave but definitely something someone that likes black licorice would like. I went with a kids scoop of chocolate malty chocolate chip cookie dough and it was 10/10 would get again. The size of the kids scoop was pretty decent at least for me as im not big on ice cream. The bf went with a regular scoop on a waffle cone of peanut and something (forgot the name) he said it wasn't his favorite and he actually wanted to get the blue cheese and pair flavor that he sampled! Weird combo but he liked it. Would return if I'm ever feeling for something sweet read more

Went to get our parking validated, stayed for ice cream. Some of the flavors combinations they had were completely insane. I kept it simple with double fold vanilla. The mini tester spoons were the cutest things ever. No inside seating. Friendly staff/ pet friendly (dog). read more

We love Salt & Straw! Their flavors are always interesting. We've been to many of their scoop shops on the Westside, and the Culver City one is definitely one of the best locations. The ice cream, of course, is consistent across stores, but the Culver City shop is nice and spacious and adequately staffed to handle the amount of traffic they get, and I feel like their scoops might be a little more generous than some of the other locations. There's also outdoor seating, and it's a nice part of town by The Culver Steps. Parking is neither too difficult nor too expensive. Lots of great restaurants nearby if you want to get a meal first. read more

Salt and Straw ice cream always hits the spot! I've been to this location a lot, especially in the summer. I've tried so many different flavors, both classic and seasonal. Trust me, they're all good at S&S and even if you don't, the servers will let you try the flavors before you commit to one (or two, or three) of them. And once you get your ice cream, I highly recommend sitting on the Culver steps patio. Super nice and peaceful place to enjoy your dessert. read more

My friend had a Salt & Straw ice cream cake for his bday over the weekend (highly recommend) so I gave into my growing appetite for dessert. The Culver location is convenient with a downstairs parking lot that offers 1 hr free parking. This side of downtown culver feels very new and the store feels inviting while in a good, visible location. There's a sign that encourages you to try as many samples so I asked the staff to try a few seasonal flavors. Ended up getting my usual - honey lavender which is pretty consistent among locations. They had a seasonal pumpkin spice waffle cone which wasn't too sweet. Overall, it hit the spot. The kid scoop was pretty generous as well. read more

Good ice cream, very stretchy creamy high quality. Pretty overpriced for ice cream though - definitely a special occasion ice cream only.
