Came in to grab some afternoon ice cream with a friend and our littles. They had so many flavors. We ended up getting lavender honey and rhubarb which was sooo good. Jessie was great. She was super friendly was down to let you try any flavor! The space is very bright and open. Not much seating where you can spend a lot of time in there but a lot of room to chat while standing

Heard about this place for a while, so we stoped in one Friday evening. We figured around 6pm, we'd find the place empty. But we were wrong. There was a pretty good crowd, and most everyone was sampling numerous flavors. Before acting like Larry David, I saw the sign encouraging such behavior. When in Rome.... I tried Pistachio Ricotta Canoli, (which was incredible), but went with the Chocolate Babka w/Hazelnut Fudge. It was ok. My wife had the Freckled Mint Chocolate Chip; (V) for Vegan. It was absolutely scrumptious. Way better than mine, and tasted like it was made with fresh heavy cream. The staff were very friendly, and happily giving out samples. We found a bench outside, and noticed how crowded the place had become. Definitely going back, to try more flavors, and maybe even take something home.

Today was the perfect day for ice cream! This flavor was so peanut butter forward in the best way. Hit the spot!

This place just hits every-time! The flavors are always so tasty and fun no matter what time of the year I go. May is a floral theme and has so great options. I went with my tried and true the sea salt and caramel! The staff is always very helpful and you can sample many options!

Hazelnut Cookies and Cream (v)

A wonderful place to go to specially as the weather is getting hot. I had the haze but cookies and cream and it was beyond delicious and soft. My friend got the saffron and she raved about wanting to come back.

Super cute, super fun store with some awesome ice cream! We happened upon this shop one night after a night out. Great that it's open late (open until midnight). We passed by in the taxi on our way to the hotel and walked back for a late night treat. The guy that helped us (really wish I had gotten his name!) was very nice and told us we could try all the flavors we wanted. It was so fun to try different flavors with real spoons and then dropping the spoons in the little drop boxes. Each flavor was delicious and fresh. We walked away with delicious shakes for our late night snack. They were so good we returned again a few days later with our granddaughter for more good fun. Looking forward to checking out local Salt & Straw stores.

Salt and straw has very rich flavours. We tried their chocolate babka with hazelnut fudge and chocolate gooey brownie. It was very indulgent, and we loved it. Super yum! Also love their portion options.

My favorite ice cream stop in the Upper West Side! Still so glad that salt and straw made its way to the east coast. Every evening here the line can often get quite long during peak hours so that's something to keep in mind. There is also no seating in the store, it's solely a take out location. Every month Salt and Straw rolls out a new set of seasonal flavors, some that are very hit or miss but something I do appreciate is their willingness to try new things. This visit I had pumpkin spice zucchini bread which made a fantastic ice cream, and tomato gelato. They also have standard flavors, a big fan of the honey lavender, the olive oil and the sea salt. But in general great ice cream choices, even for those that are GF or Vegan. Highly recommend this spot in UWS. Something I also appreciate is that they do not put any limit or restrictions on your ability to sample new ice cream flavors. I love being able to just ask to try all the seasonal flavors and with no hesitation i am able to try 6-10 flavors. Shoutout to the staff here for being so kind and patient with my sampling request. This location has become a must visit every month. Highly recommend.

Arbequina Olive Oil

WOWWW this ice-cream was so creamy and delicious. The staff were so kind and helpful. I got the olive oil scoop and genuinely one of the best scoops of ice-cream I've ever had.

Dessert trends come and go, but Salt & Straw is no fad. I've been to a few of their locations in Portland, and one in San Diego, so when they announced an expansion to NYC, I knew the city was in for a real treat. Salt & Straw pulls together really unique, interesting flavors like their strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper, and their Arbequina olive oil. Between their interesting menu and the quality of their ice cream, they really do stand out from every other ice cream shop. They have some staples (noted above), and seasonal flavors on rotation. There are also vegan options that go toe to toe with the rest of their menu, rather than feeling like an afterthought. This UWS location usually has a line, but the wait is well worth it. Not a lot of seating aside from some standing areas and a few tables out front when the weather is nice. But definitely worth a shop, figure out where to eat it after you order!

Birthday Cakes and Blackberries, Strawberry Pretzel Salad
Sally Z.

Service: 4.5/5 Food: 4/5 Price: $$ ($5-10, if you split or not) Pretty similar to their other NYC location. The long-haired dude who helped us had the passion- went so in-depth explaining the flavors, 5/5. What I Ordered: - Birthday Cakes and Blackberries: kinda a classic flavor - Strawberry Pretzel Salad: good balance, fresh fruity-ness

Amazing and unique ice cream? Helpful staff? A block away from Central Park? If you are in the area, you need to come and try their ice cream. Not in the area? Grab an Uber. We were in town and decided we needed to get some ice cream and walk through the park. We were a bit intimidated by the menu, which was very creative. Luckily the staff encouraged us to sample as many flavors as we wanted until we could make our choice - although I had to stop because everything was so good it was making my decision more difficult! I ended up going with a scoop of the Oishii Strawberry Pretzel Salad and a scoop of the Salted, Malted Chocolate chip cookie dough. Amazing.

NYC has many great things... but west coast wins on ice cream So glad to see this California staple finally make its way to the city! Always a great spot for amazingly executed, unique flavors.

It's a classic

Stopped by Grace Street while looking for something sweet and a little different, and this…read moredefinitely fit the bill. We saw the milk tea boba toast on the menu and had to try it. It came out as a thick piece of deep-fried toast topped with ice cream, boba, caramel popcorn, and strawberries on the side. Not healthy at all, but really good. It's one of those desserts you probably wouldn't get every day, but worth trying at least once. Fun to share and definitely something different from the usual desserts.

This is my go-to bathroom + sweet treat spot in KTown! There's typically a line, but it usually…read moremoves quickly and there's usually free seating as well. They have a water dispenser, two locking bathrooms, and plenty of outlets, so I already have a very positive view of Grace Street as a good place to rest. The food is alright. It's a bit overpriced and the teas are not good quality. However, the desserts are delicious. I usually split a slice of basque cheesecake with my friends. The regular and matcha have both been good in my experience. I don't like chocolate cake, so I haven't tried that variety. I wish the pumpkin was available in the smaller size too! I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!
