Was recommended this place and finally came on a rainy afternoon! Despite the cold and rain, there was still a line for icecream inside. The interior is well-decorated, bright, and clean. When you walk in, there's a spot at the side of the store where you can buy some cute merch. The guy at the counter was very patient with us while we sampled a couple of their unique flavors. The menu can be a little overwhelming on your first visit since there are so many unusual flavor combos to try. We ended up deciding on a split scoop of lavender and honey with bleu cheese and pear (surprisingly so good!!), and a split scoop of strawberry balsamic black pepper with snickerdoodle. The honey lavender is smooth and didn't taste perfume-y at all. The bleu cheese and pear has a great pear flavor mixed with some small chunks bleu cheese - doesn't sound like it'd work well, but we loved it. The snickerdoodle flavor is strong and has soft chunks of snickerdoodle cookie in it, so the lavender and honey balanced it perfectly. The guy did get part of our order wrong, we had originally asked for a split scoop of snickerdoodle/strawberry balsamic and got snickerdoodle/honey lavender. But, it wasn't a big deal since honey lavender was a flavor we liked anyways. We ended up just buying a pint of the strawberry balsamic to go and finished it within a few days. Really yummy! A good place to satisfy your sweet-tooth cravings and more unique than your typical ice cream shop.
Oh, you're just not gonna believe me when I tell you one of the two scoops I had was... Wait for it... Pear and blue cheese ice cream. That to be honest, it wasn't a very pungent blue cheese, but it was a very good very unusual scoop of ice cream and I back that up with a chocolate something or other. That was also really good. They have got some wild flavors in here. My first time, but probably not my last. Give them a try if you like New World trippy different flavored ice creams.
WOW. Salt & Straw has the best ice cream I've ever had. I remember hearing about this place before it opened--my mom must have sent me a story about it coming to Eugene year or two ago, and it's been on my list of places to stop when I next went home. Which was last week, and thank goodness I went to Oakway and saw them there because I may have forgotten and that would have been so sad for me. When you enter you're invited to try as many flavors as you want. That's great, because in my mom's words, "They have weird flavors." They're unusual for sure--their vanilla is probably the only one that would sound like something folks would be familiar with. As you'll see, I took them up on their offer and tasted most of them; they include: - Arbequina Olive Oil: not bad, tastes a little savory toward the finish - Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons: so good; not overly salty, and the caramel is buttery and smooth -Cinnamon Snickerdoodle: The cinnamon is definitely detected! -Honey Lavender: A well balanced flavor where the lavender does not overpower the taste profile -Pear and Blue Cheese: Probably the most "out there" flavor, but it's delicious--the pear is sweet and strong and is wonderful with the chunks of blue cheese you'll encounter -Chocolate Gooey Brownie: Surprisingly good, and probably the second most "normal" flavor they had. I don't like chunks of stuff in ice cream but this was actually a brownie with a consistency of something that just came out of the oven and was indeed soft and gooey. -Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper: This was my favorite flavor of theirs. There's ltos of strawberry in this, and the balsamic is strong and gives it some bite. My sister didn't like this one for that reason, but I thought the balsamic and strawberry combo was delicious. I had this ice cream three times in the two weeks I was home, and I will evangelize. The staff are super friendly. The ambiance is nice with a couple fire pits and a bit of outdoor seating, which is really great in this climate. We went one day when it was raining but it wasn't uncomfortable sitting here by the fire. They ship their ice cream nationwide, and I think I'll order a few pints for my daughter's first birthday so her first ice cream can be the best ice cream.
I know it's been here in Eugene for a while now, but I finally got around to trying Salt & Straw this past weekend. My overall thoughts? .......Meh. Everyone is out here with there 5 stars and big statements like "most amazing ice cream in the whole world ever!!!!" And then me: "huh?" It's good ice cream and I can applaud S&S for creating more inventive, savory culinary flavors (but also, honestly, who wants a smoked Mac and cheese ice cream?!). The person who helped my daughter and me that day was friendly and patient with our samples/questions. The store itself was clean but barren, not inviting anyone to stay inside beyond getting your ice cream and getting out. I'm sure they get quite busy at times. I got a single scoop in a waffle cone and my daughter a kids scoop in a waffle cone. Total before tip was just over $14. They sell pre packed pints for...wait for it...$12! I guess my issue is thinking on quality vs. price. Again, it's not bad ice cream, it's good! But that good? Nah. Or maybe this is an expectation issue because after hearing from what feels like literally anyone who has ever lived or visited Eugene or PDX saying it's sooooo amazing, I wanted it to be just that. And it wasn't.
Amazing service, happy employees greeting us throughout our entire experience and very knowledgeable of all of the ice cream. We came on a busy Friday night, staff has it down to a T on how to get people served and the line move efficiently. Ice cream was delicious, flavors are interesting and creative!
We first tried salt and straw on our Alaskan Airline flight and decided to stop by to try it as soon as we landed. The staff there are really nice, they let us try everything. I had tried the sea salt and caramel ribbon on the plane and chose to get the peanut butter brittle and my husband got the pistachio with rose water. Mine was vegan and you could not tell. Definitely highly recommend their ice cream!
Love their fire place and the amazing service from a young man, Acey i think he said his name was. Best service ever. He was so kind and helpful. Very good worker and customer service. I gave him a 35% tip. Great work and love the ice cream too. Very clean store and very good quality.
They have a lot of unique flavors here and while the concept sounds interesting and enticing, the flavors themselves are only okay. Most are incredibly sweet and not something I would want more than a taster of. The staff knows that customers will want to try a bunch of flavors and they're very patient and helpful throughout the process. I ended up getting the Pink Rose and Watermelon Sorbet after having tried a few of the others. It was the only flavor that I knew wasn't going to be overwhelming after a few bites. Not somewhere worth waiting when there's a big line.
Salt and Straw is by far the best ice cream chain! It's one of my go to's. Their ice cream tastes very high quality, you can tell they use good ingredients. They are known for some crazy flavor combinations like pear and goat cheese and olive oil. My favorite flavors are the salted malted cookie dough and ooey gooey brownie. They have rotating new flavors and some classics that are always available. The store is cute with a fireplace outside, so nice for hanging out and enjoying your treat. Employees are super friendly and they let you try any flavor you want before making a decision. Come here next time you are craving dessert!
Salt & Straw is possibly the best ice cream I've ever had. I have frequented the Portland locations so I was so happy when this one opened here in Eugene! Their sea salt caramel flavor is the best combination of tastes/flavors and is my go-to choice- the caramel tastes like real, quality caramel (not the fake stuff you see in grocery store ice cream). The workers have all been friendly every time we have visited too and are always ready to offer you samples of any flavor. The line out the door can seem daunting but honestly it moves pretty fast and we've never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes.
I am visiting Eugene and went here because it was recommended as a must-visit before I leave. I see why!! The ice cream is AMAZING. One has to eat something from here before leaving Oregon. I tasted their Strawberry with Black Pepper, olive oil and the pear with blue cheese flavors. They were all REALLY good. The strawberry one felt a little too strong for me because of the strawberry (I'd thought it might be the pepper but that was perfect!). The olive oil was pretty much like vanilla but a lot more creamy and buttery. The pear and blue cheese tasted exactly like what I'd wanted - not too sweet and definitely cheesy, fairly subtle and creamy. Definitely the perfect choice for what I wanted today! P.S. also liked the fact that they give you steel spoons that are reused and not the wooden tasting sticks.
Came here years ago and never made a review but recently found myself here twice in 2 days! The first day I had the freckled mint (V) as a milkshake. As a non-dairy person, it's sometimes hard to find good ice cream (especially milkshakes) that isn't sherbet or coconut based. But the mint chip at Salt & Straw was great! Everything a milkshake should be and more. The next day, I had the same flavor as a kids scoop in a cup because "don't fix what ain't broken!" Definetly delicious! I interacted with different people on both occasions and both people were very nice! They kept a smile and were glad to give samples to the family members that were with me. They also answered tons of questions about different flavors. I wasn't sure about standing by an outdoor fire pit to eat ice cream when its in the low 40s, but I was pleasantly surprised! The fire surprisingly kept us quite warm while we ate. Very much enjoyed the ambiance it brought. Even though we were next to a busy street, it didn't feel like it. I work in a nearby restaurant and send people here all the time, but I was glad to keep myself informed that its just as delicious as when I first tried it years ago! read more
The ice cream at Salt & Straw is beyond delicious. The flavors often surprising but delightful. I love so many of them especially Honey Lavender and the powerfully cinnamon Cinnamon Snickerdoodle. I want to acknowledge Dillon for his excellent customer service with a smile. That service is really what makes Salt & Straw standout among all other ice cream shops! read more

These vegan options were elite !!!!!! Samples r back btw I ended up choosing 2 scoops of Chocolate Pistachio Milk I'll be getting the pints to always have some at home. Even though the line was out the door, it went by quick and the workers were patient while I tried all the flavors! read more

VERY UNIQUE Everyone talks about this place so I decided to give it a try. Once you walk in the menu seems a bit strange as for most of the flavors you have probably never seen before. You should try as much as you are willing to try. The staff was friendly, helpful and let me try everything I wanted to. After trying most flavors, I ended up getting the Chocolate Gooey Brownie and Strawberry Banana Bread. Overall, you should try these unique ice cream creations. read more
Honestly the ice cream is good, not great. This place gets incredible hype and it's probably three stars from me in regards to ice cream quality. They do have pretty cool seasonal flavorsand some vegan options, though there were chunks of ice in mine. Extra star for this location especially because they have such great and friendly employees who really care. read more

The monthly offerings are almost always worth a stop in for. The "weird" offerings like bug ice cream and turkey stuffing ice cream are definitely unusual, and are not for everyone. We got the pumpkin pie tiramisu ice cream tonight and it was pretty solid. Not my favorite of their monthly flavors, that goes to the candycopia ice cream from October, but it is a good choice. I try to make it out here at least once a month just to try one of the monthly flavors! read more
if you've been to a salt and straw before, i'd say this one ranks as a nicer size and is certainly well located at the oak way (if you find the sephora close to coburg road you're there!) because come duck athletic seasons when people come in from out of town, i would surmise it can accommodate longer lines than the nonexistent one i just experienced on a hot, smokey tuesday summer afternoon. i knew what i wanted when i walked in but that didn't dissuade me from sampling two of the other flavors in the case. sample away and slide the used spoons into the slot at waist level. i find ice cream in general is an antidote to a lot that could be ailing you. more specifically, salt and straw never disappoints! read more

The ice cream tasted very good, and it was a place that I had wanted to try for some time. Service was good, and it was a good place with nice ambiance! Finally, a staple of Portland has arrived in Eugene. read more
This place is amazing! Best ice cream in Eugene HANDS DOWN. Salt & Straw offers a standard menu of about 15 flavors as well as a special menu of roughly five flavors that changes each month. The employees are super friendly and let you sample as many flavors as you want (which you should take advantage of if the line isn't long, because there are so many good, unique options to choose from). There isn't much room to eat inside, but there is a nice covered seating area outside with a fire pit. I'll be back as soon as I can; I can't wait to try new flavors at this place! read more

Hi Mike,…
What makes Salt & Straw Special? To start, the cream used by Salt & Straw comes from the Scott Family Dairy which never uses growth hormones or antibiotics. They also have a truly unique offering of flavors to choose from. While there are some consistent menu "classics" to choose from, there are also limited time flavors like the current "Veggies you crave" series featuring flavors like "Charred Corn Curd, Cotija & Tajin," "Red Chili Curry & Makrut Lime Crispy Rice (v)" and "Spinach Cake w/ Chocolate Tahini Fudge." Once you're at the counter (and trust me, the wait is well worth it), you're welcome to sample any flavor you like before you commit to the full serving sizes. Be adventurous and try something that sounds unusual...you might just be surprised how delicious the unusual can be! I tried several, and they were all good, but in the end I stuck to the classic flavors of Sea salt with caramel ribbon...it was smooth, creamy ice cream heaven! Fun Fact: Did you know that Salt & Straw is located in both Downtown Disney (Disneyland) and Disney Springs (Walt Disney World)? Yup, get some of that magic right here in Eugene! read more
If you are a fellow ice cream lover than you have to check out salt and straw. They have a few locations in Portland as well as Eugene. Don't let the unique flavors scare you. I was shocked at how good their Turkey and cranberry sauce ice cream was. They currently have Thanksgiving seasonal flavors. I got the Parker House Roll flavor and it was delicious. This ice cream literally has chunks of rolls in it, which you can never go wrong with! I also got the classic salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough and I was blown away. This takes classic cookie dough ice cream to the next level. Make sure to sample their flavors before you decide! read more

There is a reason why this is a very popular ice cream chain, they are freaking delicious. I love how that sweet smell of waffle cone smacks you across the face as soon as you walk in. I also appreciate how creamy and sweet their vegan ice cream is. Its texture and flavor is so convincing for an alternative. I also love all the fun and experimental flavors they offer seasonally. It's never a dull moment at Salt & Straw. read more

Totally special. This is what ice cream was meant to be. Be daring try the special monthly flavors. They are fabulous and more than rather unique. Add a waffle cone. The waffle cones are the best cones I've ever tasted. I'm especially a fan of the flavors that include fresh berries and cake. When we want a treat that's one step well above special we stop by Salt & Straw. Eugene has made it to the big time. And the servers here are great too! read more
Delicious yummy and WAY big portions! The let you taste any flavor you want and I tasted several before deciding. The Lavender-Honey (half a scoop) and the Strawberry-balsamic-black pepper (half a scoop) did it for me. So glad they could do half scoops so I could still have just one scoop total, because their scoops are BIG. All in a beautiful waffle cone. Delicious! And what a nice people behind the counter!!!! read more
