Love that their sample spoons are not single-use plastic ones, but rather metal spoons. And what a cool mechanism to have a slot on the customer side of the counter to deposit used spoons. It's been a while since my last Salt & Straw visit, and I was pleasantly surprised there was a location not too far from me. Pasadena parking nearby consists of parking structures ($1, no longer free, for 90 minutes), metered street parking, or free street parking if you don't mind a walk. We decided to split two scoops ($8.95) on a waffle cone ($1.75), choosing a limited time flavor (peanut butter and jelly pound cake) and a permanent flavor (salted, malted, chocolate chip cookie dough) after some sampling. In hindsight, we should had the jelly scoop at the bottom of the cone and the cookie dough scoop at the top, so that our last bites would be more sweet. I did find I liked the peanut butter and jelly pound cake more than the salted, malted, chocolate chip cookie dough. Two scoops split between two people was more than enough for our sweet tooth! If we had more room, we would've attempted to try to the tacolate (choco taco as we call it lol). There are four-ish seats inside if you want to stay and eat your ice cream. Mainly the space inside is for queuing up and most people walk out with their ice cream. Service is excellent, the employees there are very helpful and will not hesitate to help to try and find the right flavor of ice cream for you. read more

As other reviews have said, the flavors here are truly unique (and incredible). Don't be afraid to ask for samples; the employees are friendly and used to curious customers. The honey lavender is my favorite, and the selection of creative flavors is special enough that I've brought plenty of out-of-town friends here. Only criticism is the price. A single scoop starts at $7, so you've got to really love ice cream or be in it for the experience! read more

Salt & Straw - Single Scoop - Honey Lavender - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pasadena, California

Every time I come to Pasadena my friend shows me some new place that I love. Salt and Straw is another one! They have a somewhat limited menu but it rotates to keep things fresh and exciting. The line can be long, but moves quickly. You can try any flavor you like and you really should. I tried Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper thinking it sounded odd. I immediately added it to my "Flight". The other flavors were equally surprising at how good they were. The Chocolate Malted Potato Chip Cupcake flavor was chocolatey and rich and there was a party in every bite it each of the 4 flavors I got. Their model is great. Make great stuff and do a great job of serving and taking care of the guests. 100% fat guy approved and definitely get you some of this! read more

Salt and Straw has the flavors that will leave you in awe once it goes in your jaw and make you so happy like a dog wanting you to shake its paw. But that's not all, y'all! Milkshakes are in full effect here and that's what I started off with but first it had to thaw out a little. While I waited for that to be made I ordered a scoop of the Strawberry Honey Balsamic with black pepper and after my first lick I was doing the Hotstepper! Word Up! So now that my shake was to consume, my first sip was like a pour over in full bloom! Ohhh Yeah! What I had in my milkshake was a scoop of the chocolate brownie and salted malted cookie dough. So good mixed together but that's just what my tastebuds enjoy. The service is good and it's a grab and go with a few seats only. And that's my take on this ice cream adventure, Peace... read more

Love the rotating seasonal flavors, massive scoops and many samples. + Concord grape nut crumble which wasn't overly sweet (frozen yogurt!), liked the grape tanginess w the crunchy bits and soft pudding (7.8/10) Pots of gold and rainbows was fun to try, tasted like marshmallow and vanilla but too sweet. Captains Berried treasure like grape nut but sweeter, sharper berry flavors in the bits. read more

Salt & Straw is one of my favorite ice cream chains and unfortunately, it's only available on the West Coast! While exploring Old Pasadena, we walked by a Salt & Straw, and I immediately rubbernecked. Before I knew what was happening, my feet swerved towards to the store, and my arm reached to pull the door open. Suddenly I was inside, waiting in line to order. The server was nice and friendly. Knowing that my cousin and I were going to share a single scoop (6.95), she gave us a bit extra. We sampled a couple flavors before deciding on one. STRAWBERRY HONEY BALSAMIC W/ BLACK PEPPER I've had this flavor before, and I used to think it was a bit too tangy/sour. Maybe with age, I actually enjoy how tart it is, much more reminiscent of what strawberry actually taste like. I didn't taste much of the black pepper this time. Still, we both really enjoyed this signature flavor. read more

This Salt & Straw location is just as good as the one in Anaheim (Downtown Disney District). I came here with a group on a Monday evening (like 9:30pm). The guy that took care of us was 10/10, I think his name was Moussa. Overall a solid dude. I had a wafer cone with two flavors: double-folded vanilla and another flavor that tasted just like cereal milk. The portion was also big. The ambiance is great and it's also helped by the fact that it's in a prime location in Old Town Pasadena. Highly recommended place for your ice cream cravings! read more

Always a solid place to stop. They had their cereal series and I got the rice crispy one. I don't remember what the name was, but it was sweet and salty. Perfect combination! read more

I love every Salt and Straw I've been to, this one included. I love that they let you sample whatever you want to try and that they are constantly rotating in new seasonal flavors. I love how adventurous they are with their flavors. I usually still end up getting my favorite flavor though which is the olive oil. This time I split my single scoop with the olive oil and pear and blue cheese. The pear and blue cheese was just a smidge icy, but the olive oil was super smooth as usual. I also took a couple of limited edition flavors to go. Service was helpful and friendly as usual. There was no line since it was a weekday, but I'be been there when there is a long line. Seating is limited. There are literally three stools. So, it's not a place to hang out, but many take their ice cream to go. Parking is street, but it's easy enough to park in a nearby structure and walk over. read more

My girlfriend and I were out and about with two of her friends after catching up with lunch nearby and was looking for dessert nearby. We found that there was a Salt & Straw just around the corner so we decided to check it out! I haven't been to S&S for years but in the past I always loved that they have the most interesting flavors that actually work really well. I sampled two flavors: Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper and Pear & Blue Cheese. The P&BC was damn amazing and it was one of the best scoops of ice cream I have ever had in my life. It was in between a sorbet and ice cream texture so it didn't melt away which was great! I got this with their Salted Brownie Waffle Cone which was also amazing. Will definitely return if we're in the area again! read more

This place is located right on Colorado Boulevard in downtown Pasadena. It is a busy place on a Saturday evening. Services is good as can be considering the amount of people flowing through this place. We got a decadent blueberry cheesecake straw. 80 bucks! Tasty AND decedant. read more

Haven't had a bad Salt & Straw experience yet. I love that they let you taste anything you want and they have the most unique flavors. Right now the Halloween flavors are awesome, I especially like the pumpkin bread. Soooo good. Can't wait to go back for the thanksgiving flavors. I also highly recommend their non seasonal flavor of pear and blue cheese. Super good. read more

This Salt & Straw is located in old town Pasadena, specifically next door to Nike. My husband and I came to this location with our little girl dog (yes Salt & Straw is dog friendly) a few Sundays ago. We arrived just right at 2 pm. There was a small like but the wait wasn't too long. After looking over the menu board, we ended up getting: Ice Cream Flight, $16: For a flight, you get 4 flavors, in which we ordered Huckleberry Cornbread, Oishii Strawberry Pretzel Salad, Banana Bread w/ Strawberry Jam, Birthday Cakes & Blackberries. Part of their berries series, which was available for the month of July. If you are not familiar with Salt & Straw, they are on a monthly rotating menu. Of the 4 flavors we had, I loved the birthday cakes & blackberries the best. But I also really liked the 3 flavors as well. But I did find most of the flavors to be pretty sweet and think the Oishii strawberry pretzel salad to be the least sweet, which had a nice balance. All of these ice cream flavors were creamy and had an excellent mouth feel. Pint of Honey Lavender, $12.50- Just wanted to pick up a pint to take home, a favorite flavor of ours. The honey lavender just has this delicious creamy flavor that is well balanced with the sweetness and lavender. The lavender does not taste like it is artificial, which is really nice. ------------------------------- (Total= $28.50, tax included) For the flight, typically it is supposed to come in a plastic plate that you can hold 4 scoops. But unfortunately on our visit, this location ran out of them so the girl who helped me had asked if it would be okay to have each of the scoops in separate ice cream cups. She also place lids on each of the cups as well. The employee helping us was so sweet and very nice. She was very patient. She was also very helpful in suggesting to keep my pint of honey lavender in the freezer by the entrance until I am ready to leave, since I was planning on enjoying our ice cream in store (there is only 2 small stool seating by the window. My husband waited to get those seats for us while I was in line). Overall, we had a great experience and definitely see ourselves back here again in the near future. Please note that you can purchase dog friendly (non dairy) ice cream. You can find their Apple and Carrot w/ Sweet Potato Ribbon flavored pup cups ($3.75) in the freezer by the entrance. read more

What We Ordered: -2 Kid Scoop $11.50 -3 Single Scoop $20.85 -2 Split Scoop $1.00 -1 Strawberry Shortcake Waffle Bowl $1.65 -1 Waffle Cone $1.65 The experience at Salt & Straw never disappoints! The service is always impeccable, and they're happy to let you sample flavors until you find the perfect one. I treated visiting family to ice cream, and I opted for a split scoop of Strawberry Salad and Goat Cheese Marion berry Habanero. Be careful with the Habanero - it can pack a heat! I'm glad I tried it, though. I really liked the pretzel bits in the Strawberry Salad. Both scoops were surprisingly cheesy, in the best way possible! Props to the ice cream chefs for their creative concoctions. I'm already looking forward to the next series! read more

We tried salt & Straw for the first time and it was pretty solid. We found this place while walking after dinner and decided to order a couple scoops. Their ice cream flavors are different compared to other shops. The ice cream is rich and creamy but not too sweet. The staff is friendly and let you try different flavors. Can be bit of a line but worth it if not too crazy. One scoop costs around $7 No seating inside read more

My friends and I love Salt and Straw ice cream and make it a point to come by a few times a year. Service is friendly and efficient.

I visited this location for their cookie recipe promo, granting me and my partner a free kids scoop each.

First time visiting Salt & Straw in Pasadena and wow what a treat! The ice cream here is next-level. I had the Honey Lavender, and it was absolutely divine floral, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. My husband went with the Coffee Love Nut and couldn't stop raving about it, and our friend tried both the Vanilla and Chocolate classic flavors done to perfection. Everything was so rich, smooth, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. You can really taste the care they put into their flavors. The staff was friendly, the vibe was great, and we're already planning to come back to try more! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special ice cream experience. read more

Stopped by Salt & Straw in Pasadena after dinner the other night. Love that they let you sample everything, so I tried a few new flavors before going with a single split--Chocolate Almond Gold Bar and my go-to, Olive Oil. The Gold Bar was definitely on the sweeter side, but the Olive Oil balanced it out nicely. Left feeling super satisfied for the night! Always a solid spot for ice cream, and I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I love that you can try all of the flavors if you want! The only bad part is that there is a long line sometimes but it does go pretty fast. I really love the different ice creams. It's so good but in all honesty sometimes I wish they just had the traditional classics lol I liked it, but I would've preferred to have something more familiar. The ice cream was high-quality cream to air to sugar ratio, definitely quality ice cream but again a little too sweet for my liking. I tried the blue cheese and pear ice cream just to get something less sweet and it was good but nothing crazy. read more

I had really high expectations for Salt & Straw, but my experience was honestly disappointing. I ordered the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough, which sounded amazing on paper, but it just didn't deliver. The flavor was oddly unbalanced. I fully blame Tyler. The salt completely overpowered everything else, and instead of enhancing the chocolate, it made the whole thing taste harsh and kind of artificial. I can't stand Tyler it's his terrible creation. I fully believe he deserves to be stoned. The texture wasn't great either. The cookie dough pieces were sparse and felt dry, not soft or rich like you'd expect. For something that's supposed to be a premium ice cream, it tasted more like a weird experiment than a well-crafted dessert. On top of that, it's pretty expensive for what you get Tyler is tweaking with his pricing, which makes the letdown even worse. If I'm paying that much, I expect something that actually tastes good--not something I struggle to finish. Overall, it felt overhyped and not worth the price. I hate you Tyler. read more

Had a big variety of flavors and was pretty affordable for it being absolutely amazing. They say that it's homemade and I'm not gonna lie. The difference from this and Baskin-Robbins is literally out of this world. You can literally taste the quality and the difference between what is homemade and what comes in a plastic package this place is definitely a must for ice cream fanatics like me. I will never view ice cream the same way after coming here absolutely amazing keep doing what you're doing and never change salt & straw. Also, there is a weekly rotation of full exotic flavors from here and there is also salsa packets to put on your ice cream which is kind of crazy. I chickened out for trying it so I can't speak on behalf of that but I'd imagine it'd be really good. They also have taco shell ice cream dipped in chocolate. They let you sample as many flavors as you want. 10/10! read more

This location was clean, has friendly staff, and we got to try some of the limited edition flavors such as the banana bread with strawberry jam. read more

Very creative ice creams, but I found the ones I sampled to all be a bit mild on their intensity of flavor. It's still a fun experience to pick out an unusual flavor (such as their turkey cranberry holiday option), but I'd prefer a Van Leeuwen (especially for honey or lavender ice cream flavors) or Italian gelato if I had the choice. I'd rate Salt & Straw a 3.0-3.5, but the great service puts it at a 4. read more

My favorites are Pear & Blue Cheese, Arbequina Olive Oil, Coffee and Love Nuts, and Honey Lavender. But I always end up getting the Pear & Blue Cheese and Arbequina Olive Oil. The only reason why I have four star was because there is no seatings or a public bathroom. But I will still return for my ice cream craving. read more
