This is my second visit to the NYC salt and straw locations, not too many flavors at the moment that really piqued my interest compared to the autumn season. 4.5/5 Rhubarb + Star Anise 4.2/5 Salted Malted Cookie Dough 4/5 Pistachio

Salt and straw is my absolute favorite ice cream. I am more of a cookies and cake person but this is the place I go out of my way to get to when I want ice cream. The service is always friendly, and the flavors are always creative. My favorite is the chocolate babka. I tried the chocolate malted potato chip cupcake but it was much sweeter than the babka. I love the creativity of their flavors and they never disappoint. The staff was very kind and asked me about my dietary restrictions and told me I can't have the pistachio due to pork gelatin. Don't be discouraged by the line...it moves fast. If you want to eat there you can sit on the ledge along the window.

Monthly Ice Cream Date #14 Nothing that special about this month's Cereal Series, just well-executed classics. The only one I didn't like was the Concord Grape. It's very strong + just not my vibe. Tried the Salted Brownie Waffle bowl--a freebie in their rewards program. Not that sweet, more rich + my friend said slightly salty, which balanced our extremely sweet ice cream. Idk if it was because of the bowl or our server was generous, but we got HUGE scoops.

Ok so to start this was a yelp event and I'm so glad it was bc to be honest I never heard of them before! I'm always looking for good ice cream spots to bring my kids & this one was soooo good!! I love the set up. The shop is on a corner and I loved that. Very west village. The staff was soo kind and sweet. Kaylee - I could be wrong I'm so sorry my but she was awesome. My son had a lucky charms style ice cream and I had the salted caramel....freakin amazing. Now summer is around the corner after the park def going to be back.

Gets pretty crowded and there was a line the night we dropped by. This Seattle based ice cream serves up an eclectic variety of delicious flavors. Counter staff let us try two flavors. I had a double scoop cup of Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper. Wow - so good and both very different. They label themselves "as a small-batch, chef-driven ice cream, handmade using local ingredients. Curiously Delicious Ice Cream." Yes, for sure!

First time trying Salt & Straw Ice Cream, the customer service was exception, they were very patient and welcoming and helped us try as many flavors as we wanted. I ended up ordering the waffle cone with a split scoop flavor the Chocolate brownie & Hazelnut Cookies and cream. I found the ice cream to be just the right level of creamy and sweet and the waffle cone was really great. I think they had unique flavors and it was good ice cream, but what really set the experience apart was the friendly customer service and overall vibe of the location. I would definitely go back!

The Pistachio and Ricotta Cannoli in the house-made waffle cone was so bomb. The flavors blended nicely and the chunks of frozen ricotta added a nice texture. The waffle cone tasted incredibly fresh which made it even better. I recommend using a spoon if you order a cone. My daughter also very much enjoyed her cup of Chocolate Gooey Brownie. Both flavors were not overly sweet--tasted fresh and high quality.

You can never go wrong with ice cream. I had their vegan hazelnut cookies and cream. It was delicious. Almost every bite had cookies in it. It wasn't overly sweet so you can taste the flavors of the hazelnut and cookies. The service was fast and friendly. The space is wide and spacious. It's a prime location.

Please continue expanding on the East Coast! Fantastic ice cream, warm and friendly staff. Fun, inventive, and delicious flavors, I genuinely wanted/needed to try about 10 but grudgingly settled on just 4 in a flight. A tad pricy at ~$16, and my one minor complaint is that the waffle chip accouterments were pretty stale.

Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie dough
Kate N.

Far too expensive and not worth it. The ice cream is very overhyped and honestly nothing impressive. It's mostly unusual or "fancy" flavors you don't typically find at other shops. I tried the Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (yes, that's the full name) and immediately regretted it. The flavor combination was gross and I've never had oily ice cream before, it felt like a waste of money. I will give them full credit for their efficient and polite customer service. Despite the place being extremely crowded with a long line, the staff kept everything moving quickly and handled everyone with patience and grace. Regardless of how great the service was, the ice cream itself just didn't justify the price or the hype for me.

My favorite Salt & Straw in New York. Unique ingredients, great quality ice cream, new flavors every month so you don't get bored. 10/10 no notes. Staff here is so nice and patient. They truly let you try every flavor. Best monthly flavors are their Berry series in April and Apple series in September. They have great mix-ins in their ice cream and are known for their OG olive oil flavor. Try it!

While visiting New York for work and then staying a few extra days for fun, I had heard Salt & Straw as a recommendation multiple times so we had to stop when we walked by it. The location was great, it looked nice / clean and the staff were fantastic! I appreciated their patience as I decided on my flavor as well as their suggestions. In the end, I went with Vanilla Custard w/ Butterscotch Swirl and Strawberry Honey Balsamic w/ Black Pepper and my boyfriend got the Honey Lavender and the Cinnamon Swirls. All of the flavors were unique, very creamy and worth trying but also aren't ones I'd be craving/ eager to try again. If back in NYC, I'll be back for sure but mostly because of the fantastic servers.

I had this ice cream years ago on the West Coast and have not stopped thinking about it since... and the fact they've opened up a NYC location means that miracles can happen. This ice cream place has combos that are more wacky (ex. Blue cheese with pear) but they don't put out flavors that aren't quality (like I'd legit trust any flavor from them). Tried a bunch of flavors from their NYC location and enjoyed them all. They had a limited time oishii strawberry with pretzel and I'm not sure how they did it but they captured the freshness and sweetness of the Oishii strawberry but also had it cut yet complimented by the pretzels in it. Their pistachio flavor, I'm not a pistachio guy, but was creamy and heavenly.

Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
