I tried this place for the first time and the flavors were amazing! The store setup is super cute. The entire staff was great but the star today was Zoey. Went above and beyond with her service and recommended amazing flavors i was scared to try. I also love their " tacolate" item in the freezer. 10/10 and i loved zoeys vibe tonight read more

I've been enjoying Salt & Straw since my then girlfriend (now wife) visited their Oregon location. From their high quality ingredients to their unique flavors, it's always a treat to sample flavors before choosing scoops to purchase. This last time I opted for the split scoop waffle cone. For the top I chose the Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge and the bottom, the Bananas Foster with Candied Pecans. It was delicious! Such intense flavors! The favorite of the two was definitely the Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge. If you're a peanut butter lover, this is the one for you! They also have some pretty awesome merch to purchase as well and the Tacolate collaboration with Taco Bell is a must the next time I go. They also had Tacolate sauce pack keychains to purchase too! Service was also great as the person was extremely patient as the family was sampling their wide array of options. The kids were loving every moment too! Will be heading back soon for another treat! Tacolate if it's still available! read more

Tried Salt & Straw in the L.A. Arts Dist. Place is clean and they offer many cool & unique flavors as well as some favorites. I tried a few samples. My nephew had the Cookies and Cream. Price is a bit high. Parking: Street Rating: 31/2 Stars read more

This is the third Salt & Straw location I've visited here in SoCal (Pasadena and Anaheim being the other two I've visited so far) It's an excellent location. I had a waffle cone with two flavors (you can do half and half or two full portions. I went with the two full portions: double folded vanilla and hazelnut cookies & cream). The vanilla is the winner in the taste test but the hazelnut cookies and creme was also good. They also have limited edition flavors, take-home pints, cute souvenirs, and they even let you taste test flavors with a small metal spoon that they give you with your flavor of chocie,choice, committing to buying said flavor. 10/10 system and 10/10 ice cream shop. read more

Awesome ice cream spot with a wide variety of flavors. They always have rotating limited edition flavors (seasonal) in addition to the classic flavors. Some of these flavors are very interesting and unique, like the Pear and Blue Cheese flavor. I tend to stick with my favorites, which are Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Hazelnut Cookies and Cream. Their ice cream is very rich, creamy, and high quality. The staff are very friendly and patient here. They let you taste samples of as many flavors as you would like. I always end up getting the double scoop to share with my husband because it is a way better value than just getting a single scoop. Also, you might be craving for more if you only get one ice cream scoop. I always see this location looking busy with a line of people. Luckily the line moves quickly. It is pretty cool that they even sell pints of ice cream, which you can grab from their fridge. The only thing I dislike about this place is that it is difficult to find parking. There is street parking that is usually already full, but unfortunately no designated parking lot. If parking was easier to find, I would definitely be visiting more often. read more

Been here 3x now and love their flavors! It's not necessarily a place I seek out since their ice cream is on the heavy side but if I'm in the area I will be tempted to go. I love their chocolate brownie flavor, coffee and the monthly rotations they have! read more

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been wanting to come here for quite some time now since they have such unique flavors and ice cream is my favorite. If we lived in the area, I believe this would be a place I would visit frequently. The only issue was the parking. Unless the locals wanna share where a better parking place would be... then you'll end up driving round and round til a spot frees up or you have to walk a small distance. The place is pretty popular because there's tons of people visiting. The lines are long, but I wouldn't be intimidated because it does go by fast. They have a few flavors that change out, but from my understanding they have their regular flavors too. I wouldn't trust the pictures since their flavors change. read more

One of my favorite ice cream spots! I love that you can sample any of the flavors. My favorite is the ooey gooey brownie and also coffee love nuts! I always get a split scoop with both flavors. read more

Visited here on a Friday evening & it was moderately busy. This specific spot is very spacious compared to other Salt & Straws, clean interior is always a plus. Love that they have a little merchandise store with some benches inside & some open tables outside. Parking here can be a bit tough though. Either parking on the curb which can be hard due to how packed the Art District can get. The alternate is to park in paid lots that can range from $4 - $15+ Staff here is great, my wife and I wanted to try plenty of ice cream flavors and they were really accommodating & friendly. We decided on a double scoop on a cup. Our two flavors combined were Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Hazelnut Cookies & Cream. Scoop sizes are pretty big and pretty overflowing for the cups. It would be perfect if the cups were just a bit bigger to hold the scoops. Although it's a bit sweet, it was the perfect dessert after a meal. Overall, great spot for ice cream, can't go wrong with any flavors as all the flavors are delicious. Love the vibes here because of the staff, will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

I love Salt & Straw! It was delicious. We tried a scoop of the lavender and the brownie chocolate, and they were definitely shareable. We had a hard time finding parking, and we were there on Friday night, so it was busier than usual. However, it was really fun to be there on a Friday night. It's a great store with plenty of space to enjoy your ice cream, and there are so many flavors to choose from. The team there is really nice and happy to help out if you need to try more flavors or if you need an extra cup for your ice cream. We plan to return! read more

Salt & Straw is good ice cream for those that are looking to be a little adventurous, As for me, i like my classics without devianting to fair from the norm. The line was quick and typically busy. The smell of the place is wonderful and the taste of the ice cream matches the scent. Parking is not so great imo, so be prepared to walk if you're looking to stop by. read more

I'd been to different S&S locations but this was the first time I've been to this one which was in DTLA Arts District. After dining in nearby Afuri, I decided to have ice cream for dessert. This location was a lot bigger than others. There were two people helping customers so line went fast. There was a bench inside and a lot more seats outside. Every time I go to S&S, I always go for their seasonal items. I tried two of these seasonal items and knew I wanted them right away. I got a scoop each of these two flavors: Wildflower Honey and Lemon Chess Pie. Lemon chess pie pieces folded into cultured frozen yogurt, sweetened with wildflower honey and topped with lemon curd. Coconut Cherry Pie with Almond Crust. A rich coconut cream base blended with sour cherry filling and bits of almond shortbread crust. I really loved both of them and I'm planning to get them before they get replaced by new seasonal items. Most likely, I'll get pints to keep them on stock in my freezer. read more

My friend and I wanted to celebrate with ice cream and we ended up at this Salt & Straw location in the Arts District. It's been a while since I've treated myself to Salt & Straw and I've been mindful about doing more activities that connect with my inner child. Walking in, my senses were activated by the smell of sweet happiness. The Coffee Chamomile Sherbet caught my attention because I was curious how a sherbet is marked vegan. I was also curious about the juxtaposition of caffeine and calm from the two flavors. Flavor-wise, OMG YUMMY!!! The kids scoop is the perfect size for me too. https://yelp.to/VIUjWouDG8 Staff here is nice. The store is clean. We sat outside in front of the store for people watching. Parking can be quite difficult because it's Art District. But if I'm already in the area, this is an absolute stop. read more

What We Ordered: -Baseball Scoop -Chocolate Brownie Waffle Cone with one scoop split in half -One Scoop of Ice cream in a Cup Salt and Straw is probably my favorite ice cream joint in LA. I love Ice Cream and try to have it as much as I can. This is my second time at this location! I love how they have a great selection of seasonal options. I came here around Halloween, and they have some great flavors. I came here near the beginning of February, and they have some great Valentine's Day-inspired flavors where they incorporated chocolatiers into their Ice Cream. I really wish I could come in November for Thanksgiving and in December for Christmas. I will have to circle back later this year. I really need to make a concerted effort to come here around each holiday to see what innovative flavors they have come up with next! I came here so I could share this spot with my family, as they've never been to Salt and Straw before. We'll definitely be back! I love the vibe here. Everyone is super nice and friendly! They let you try several samples until you find the right flavor of ice cream for you. read more

Very tasty ice cream. They have a variety of delicious flavors. When you walk in the place smells like fresh pancakes or waffles being made. It's the fresh cones that they prepare daily. They allow you to test taste the different flavors until you decide what flavor you want. They have a few vegan options available also. This location is very clean. The staff are always very helpful. read more

I have been a huge salt and straw fan for years. The one in the arts district definitely gets busy on hot days but the flavors are so worth it. I love the rotating monthly flavors, they're always interesting but usually so delicious. It's nice that the super popular flavors sometimes get added to the long time flavors. There is something here for everyone. They have vegan and dairy flavors so most people with dietary restrictions can find something that they can enjoy. parking around this location can be tough during the busiest times, so just keep that in mind. there is a decent amount of street parking, but can be hard to find. read more

We were in the area and I noticed there was a Salt & Straw, so we made sure to add that as our next stop. It's located in Arts District of Downtown LA so you know what that means - hard to find parking in an industrial area. I loved the look, more industrial that the other locations, but it was modern. You get in line to the right and they call you by group to the counter, similar to the other locations. They have rotating flavor so there's always something new to try, so make sure to try samples! Coffee & Love Nuts - I love this signature flavor. The nuts are candied so there's a lot of texture. I like to drop this in a coke to make a float! Service was ok, not the best. Parking can be a hassle, street parking or paid parking in the lots. Recommended if already within walking distance. read more

After grabbing a slice at Prince Street Pizza, I wandered into Salt & Straw right next door, and I'm so glad I did. There was only one person ahead of me, so I got to order pretty quickly, which was a big plus. The staff was super friendly, patient, and even let me sample a couple of flavors before deciding. I ended up going with a kid size scoop of their Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons in a waffle cone. OMG, it was so good! The balance of salty and sweet was perfect, and honestly, the kid size felt like the perfect amount. We also tried the Cinnamon Snickerdoodle, which was just as delicious. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any flavor here. The ice cream is amazing, the service is friendly, and the whole vibe makes it such a fun little stop. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area! read more

I love their ice cream so much, even just a regular old vanilla doesn't taste regular or old here. Tastes amazing and so light and creamy and yummy. Also their brownie chocolate is so good. Sometimes I add chocolate sprinkles too which makes it even more mouthwatering for me. I absolutely LOVE the smell of the store, not only the inside but you can smell the vanilla bean ice cream when you walk past the store, and it always draws me in. The servers never fail to deliver samples when requested, and they're so patient about it too. I also love that they have seasonal/monthly flavors and they're ones you'd never expect to be combined, but always taste great. read more

Salt & Straw - Chocolate Gooey Brownie Scoop - Double - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Salt & Straw had been on my watchlist for years at this point, so I took advantage of a lunch sesh with my buddies in DTLA to grab a sweet treat here. The Arts District is a notably industrial area, so parking was a bit tough around here. Luckily, I found a spot around the corner from the shop real quickly and we strolled on over. As a product of its environment, the interior of the shop also had an industrial and minimal vibe to it; very well kempt and clean, nothing else to say about it. It was a weekday afternoon, so there wasn't really a line present. The employees were also nice enough; guess I was lucky that George wasn't there, according to the other reviews After a couple samples, I decided to go with their "Coffee & Love Nuts" and their "Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough" flavors. $8.95 felt fair for a double scoop, given the quality and taste of the ice cream. From their website: Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - "House-made cookie dough with thick malted fudge in a salted ice cream." I'm not actually a big fan of cookie dough flavored ice creams, but the slight saltiness added a level of depth and nuance to the richness of the scoop that I deeply appreciated. It was still extremely rich given the fudge in the middle, but that saltiness was absolutely necessary. Coffee and Love Nuts - "Smooth, caramel-y coffee ice cream studded with pecans caramelized in Tahitian vanilla, sprinkled with sea salt, then coated in 14 layers of chocolate." My personal favorite flavor as of yet. Although I hate coffee, I'm huge on coffee-flavored desserts and this was no exception. Again, the sea salt was a game changer to contrast the creaminess of the ice cream. I'm also a fan of a spectrum of textures in my food, so I felt like the bold and crunchy pecans were the MVP here. All in all, it was a phenomenal first experience for me personally. DTLA parking is lowkey buns unfortunately, but aside from that, making the pilgrimage out for S&S was completely worth it. read more

Always a solid choice for ice cream. I've had this multiple times in Oregon, SF and in SoCal. Love how they have a regular set of flavors but also a monthly menu series as well. Got the Strawberry Tres Leches flavor for the first time yesterday and it was so good! One of my friends informed me that this use to be on their regular menu but it was removed. Guess I have to go back again this week before they rotate the monthly flavors again. read more

Tried a scoop of Coffee&Love Nuts. They brew a smooth, caramel-y medium roast coffee from Colombia, blend it with cream, and stud it with "love nuts"--pecans caramelized in Tahitian vanilla, sprinkled with sea salt then coated in 14 layers of chocolate. Nothing more to be said except.... You're welcome. read more

I love the place The quality of the ice cream is top notch I got their cinnamon snickerdoodle and their cookie dough as a split scoop in a waffle cone and it was divine! The girl who scooped my icecream was so patient and sweet to me. I couldnt decide on which ice cream I wanted and like she gave me no attitude and just was rolling with it which I appreciate. I get the whole artisanal vibe but sometimes I want like an old fashioned cookies and cream or strawberry cheesecake and they don't have stuff like that there but it's alright I like the creativity... it maybe too creative for what I'm craving but it's alright it's worth a try . Didnt get to take a picture of my cone cuz it was that good. read more

Fun Salt & Straw location in DTLA's Arts District! It's S&S so there will always be a line, but it moves fast depending how many samples people are indulging in, lol~! That being said, everyone is always in good spirits and that includes the employees. The person who took care of me last night was very friendly, patient and informative. Truly great experience with ordering. I love S&S's treasured flavors like pear & bleu cheese, sea salt w/caramel, mint chocolate chip, chocolate brownie and honey lavender. Nomz all around. But when I went in and saw the current seasonal flavors - Beer Geek Activated! I've had so many of their rotations over the years but as an ale aficionado, I was ecstatic with the current "Brewer Series". Swoon. I had the delish & rich Breakside's Barrel-Aged Chocolate Stout but other options were: ~La Tropical's La Original Lager w/ Guava ~Métier's Black Stripe Porter & Bread Pudding ~Monkish's Space Cookies & Cream Hazy IPA ~Russian River's Supplication Ale w/ Manchego ~Wynwood Brewing Mango Habanero IPA Sorbet All sound pretty bomb, ngl. After sitting on the bench for awhile eating, a fella asked for the rest of my ice cream. My heart melted as I humbly handed over the equally melted ice cream. read more

This place didn't disappoint at all! Their flavors are a bit random but they totally work and are delicious! I love how you can sample if you want to try and they have this cool little slot to drop off the little spoons. After grabbing a bite to eat we were craving a late night ice cream run and absolutely fell in love with this place. Love that they have Vegan options and their Strawberry & Coconut water sherbet was to die for I got the kids scoop but should have gotten a full scoop it was perfection! Parking isn't the best due to many restaurants in the area but you make it work for ice cream. They have a cool wall with some gear if you wish to purchase. Cooler bags and other merchandise. They have ice cream to go as well that you can grab and take on the side. They have a small area where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream as well. The staff were very helpful and patient as there were a lot of people in line so I appreciate that! Left them a good tip cause you guys deserve it and for serving delicious ice cream! read more

Salt & Straw (Arts District) I love the idea of monthly rotating flavors, but their mainstay flavors could use a revamp--they feel a bit outdated. Visited for the March cereal-themed specials, and Pot of Gold was amazing. It had an oaty taste like Lucky Charms cereal, and the marshmallow pieces were perfectly softened. Captain Berries Treasure (vegan) was surprisingly great--fruity, creamy, and didn't taste vegan at all. Snack n' Crackle was also a winner with marshmallow treats, cornflake cookies, and marionberry jam. Also, they have pup cups! Not free, but my dog loved it. read more

I've come here with my friends many times and we've always received great service. Last night was the first time we encountered a rude employee named George. My friend asked for a strawberry shortcake cone and was given a regular cone when she told him he rolled his eyes even though it was HIS mistake. I worked in customer service many years and mistakes do happen but you should always apologize right away and correct it. That made the experience very unpleasant and will not return to this location. read more

Love the ice cream but the customer service is terrible at this location will go the distance for better service

We were in the area and looking for an ice cream spot on this really hot day.  The majority of the places nearby were vegan ice cream spots.  We needed something that kind of catered to both.  This place is a little hard to find but when we went there was plenty of street parking nearby and parking garages.        From the outside, it didn't look like much, but when walking in this place was huge.   It didn't really have much seating area on the inside but had seating areas outside that it shared with neighboring stores.  They had random stuff for sale, but in its own way, it was warm and inviting.  It was minimally decorated.  You walk further in, and you'll see the menu.  I was greeted right away and he was really nice.   I felt that at times, we weren't understanding each other, but it's whatever.   The ice cream hit the spot.   We ordered: 1.  Chocolate Gooey Brownie - This is for the chocolate lover in you.  The gooey chunks of brownie just has you smackin' 2.  Coffee & Love Nuts - I was churros to see if this would be similar to a jamoca almond fudge, but this was way better.  The chocolate covered pecans were a nice twist.  It was nice pick me up with the fresh waffle cone. 3.  Peanut butter brittle caramel fudge - This was super peanut buttery. You can't taste the coconut water, which I was scared of. It tasted like a regular ice cream with bits of brittle.      This was a great location, and I'll definitely be back soon.   The guy working there told me they are definitely busier at night.  I'm glad I came and beat the crowd. read more
