Happy to have Salt N Straw in the area....it is definitely a vibe of its own and when the vibe hits it HITS!!!

Just like in WeHo. Great vibes. Good tastes. Special flavors for May Flowers series. Tasted Strawberry Tres leches, rhubarb crumble and Hazelnut cookies & cream. All were good. Taste before you buy! How fun! read more

Salt & Straw - Classic Flavors Menu. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

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. read more

Salt & Straw - Honey lavender, bleu cheese and pear, snickerdoodle - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

The service was great! The guy serving us was very knowledgeable about their ice cream and allowed us to sample various flavors. The ice cream itself was rich and creamy. The only letdown was how small the menu is. It is a lot of odd (yummy) flavors you won't find anywhere else, but none of the classic regular flavors. Definitely give this place a try! read more

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. read more

It was a pleasant surprise to see a salt & straw in Eugene! The server was nice. We were the only ones there since it was a random Tuesday night. Got to try the new flavors without feeling rushed or holding up the line. It was good but I tend to always go with the OG flavors 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

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

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. read more

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. read more

Yummy ice- cream! Some of my favorite flavors: pear and blue cheese, coffee love and nuts, salted, malted, chocolate cookie dough. Must have when in Portland! This location has a nice fire pit outside perfect for cold and rainy day or night. It's never too cold for ice cream! read more

Their seemingly bizarre combinations can be stellar, and they're patient as you sample them. You'll find something you like, although those looking for low carb menu items will have to look elsewhere. We tried several combos and were amazed, truly amazed. We settled on different cups and dipped into each other's selections to get the smorgasbord effect. It's not cheap, but the quality of the offerings was stellar. Who knew that balsamic could make berry flavors pop? There can be lines. Be patient. The reward(s) are worth it. I warn you that they can be really addictive. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! 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

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

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. 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

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

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. read more

Wonderful artisan ice cream! The flavors were amazing, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I wish I could give five stars, but the ambiance wasn't very inviting and the prices were ridiculous! When I say ridiculous, I mean you could go just about anywhere else and get twice as much for half the cost, literally. I don't know, maybe they charged me an extra $15 for the fork? read more

What a cool vibe this place is! Wackiest flavors ever and a must try! Every ice cream tastes exactly like the name. Friendliest, fun people serving it up! 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

Salt & Straw - a cup of ice cream with a spoon in it - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

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

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

We have been here quite a few times! Great location! Close to our home, and also right off the freeway. Easy access and parking. Welcoming ambiance. Friendly, attentive, and accommodating staff. My daughter and I like different kinds of food/desserts, so it's always nice to be able to taste before we order. And they don't make me feel bad when I can't make up my mind, or when I ask to try something else. Their menu is very creative! Never disappoints! 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

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

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

Salt & Straw - Located at Oakway - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

My husband had been wanting to try Salt and Straw since they opened, but every time we tried to go, the line was insane. I wasn't willing to line up half way across the parking lot and stand in the sun for an hour just for an ice cream cone. Last night, however, the line was much shorter and we made it a point to stop in. I must admit that I was not expecting to like it after reading the menu. They have weird flavors like olive oil and a pear and blue cheese one. There were no real "common" ice cream flavors. I fully intended on letting my husband order whatever and just trying his. That idea was before we were greeted by the staff. They have staff members come out into the line to greet you, offer samples (serious props for not using single-use plastic spoons for samples), and actually provide really legit customer service. After sampling several, I had settled on the lavender and honey flavor, and my husband picked the snickerdoodle one. We both loved them and were super happy with our choices. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed our ice cream. The waffle cones are the best I've ever had. My husband called them fragile, meaning soft, because they broke apart in just the right places, and never more than you wanted. It wasn't a messy waffle cone, if that makes sense. Now back to the customer service. Most ice cream shops have one or two employees who stand there and stare at you as you figure out what you want, and don't offer anything useful past, "what do you want?" The old get your shit and get out vibe. But not here. The staff here are with you through the entire thing, almost feeling like a full restaurant waiter level service. Whoever comes out to greet you in line is literally there helping you and only you until you've officially decided on what you want and they hand you your order before moving on to the cashier. They answer questions, give recommendations and samples, whatever you need. There was never a rush. It really felt like that one employee helping us had all the time in the world to cater to what we asked for, and I appreciate that. The level of customer service here is actually quite impressive to me, and was something my husband noticed as well. Now if my husband notices something like that, I know it's impressive! Because he rarely pays attention to things like that. Would I return? Oh my, yes! I want to go back tomorrow. Lol. It really was just that good. My husband and I both really enjoyed it. Comparing other ice cream shops around town, this is the one we both agreed that we want to come back to often to try out other items on the menu and enjoy their wonderful customer service. read more
