    Kids size Coffee and Love Nuts ($5.75). It was okay, not enough coffee flavor. 5/30/2026

    It's always fun to see what limited offers Salt & Straw is offering. While they had some interesting flavors like Hong Kong Milk Tea White Chocolate, I went with their regular Coffee with Love Nuts flavor. While the ice cream consistency is good and the love nuts (coated pecans) was tasty, I wasn't a fan of the coffee flavor. The coffee flavor was so mild that it didn't even really taste like coffee to me. A kid's size was $5.75. Overall, a great ice cream shop to stop by if you're looking for a sweet treat while browsing downtown Pasadena.

    I just came in on a Monday night because my roommates were craving ice cream at 9 pm.... Crazy people.... and we ended up getting double scoops that were split because I couldn't decide on all the flavor... THEY were so delicious... and honestly, I was truly amazed that Nadia perfectly paired my double scoops together She asked if I had a certain order and I said no... but I am so glad she arranged it bc she def knew how to layers it I ended up getting honey lavender olive oil ice cream.. a huckleberry and strawberry pretzel... All that for 9 bucks for four scooops IT WAS SO GOOD the seasonal items are disappearing go get them! All the berry flavors were worth it Thank you Nadia for your sweet and kind service

    I have ALWAYS wanted to try Salt & Straw for the longest time because I've heard rave reviews, but there are no nearby locations where I live! However, when I spotted this store as I was walking around the area, I had to go. Inside, there were two employees, and fortunately, it was not crowded on a Monday afternoon, so I was helped immediately. I sampled three flavors: Hong Kong Milk Tea with Toasted White Chocolate, Jasmine Milk Tea Almond Stracciatella, and Honey Lavender. Hong Kong Milk Tea with Toasted White Chocolate: This was a special flavor. I LOVE Hong Kong Milk Tea, so I was really excited to try this one. However, I thought the tea flavor was way too strong, and I usually love a strong tea flavor. I really loved the textural element of the toasted white chocolate though. Jasmine Milk Tea Almond Stracciatella: Another special flavor. I also love Jasmine Milk Tea, LOL, so I had to try this as well. Honestly... this had the opposite problem of the Hong Kong Milk Tea ice cream: I could barely taste the jasmine tea flavor! Maybe the almond stracciatella masked the jasmine flavor? In my opinion, jasmine + chocolate don't go well together. Honey Lavender: This is one of their classic flavors, and it was easily the best flavor out of all of them. Incredible balance of honey and lavender!! Loved how floral the lavender flavor was, as if there is too much lavender, it can taste soapy. Luckily, that was not the case. It was so good as the flavors were on-point, it was creamy, and had a perfect amount of sweetness. It's a classic for a reason! I ended up getting a single scoop of the Honey Lavender which came out to $6.95. Honestly, pricey for a single scoop, but the flavor made up for it at least. Still, I don't think I'd go out of my way to go to Salt & Straw because it is pricey. If I am ever nearby, though, I'd probably visit again. They have really unique flavors during their monthly special, but I just hope that they execute them well the next time I visit. If not, the classics are there for a reason, and I'd be interested in trying them as well.

    Split single scoop w/ jasmine milk tea almond stracciatella & coffee and love nuts

    Came here around 10:15 on a Monday evening and there was no line. The employee who helped us was very kind & allowed us to try quite a few samples before making our decision. This month's (May) seasonal flavors were pretty good, but we ultimately chose the jasmine milk tea almond stracciatella and paired it with the coffee & love nuts. The prices have slowly crept up over the years ($6.95 for a single scoop + $0.50 for a split scoop), but the quality and taste of Salt & Straw keeps me coming back. Highly recommend checking out the monthly flavors if you haven't already!

    Really good stuff here! They should have seating, because it's not very inviting to stay. The portions are somewhat smaller than Handels, but it was still delicious. Staff is very friendly and encouraging to try all the flavors.

    Single Scoop - Honey Lavender
    Cady N.

    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!

    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!

    Went back for a round 2 on the honey lavender ice cream! Happy to find out that this one is always on the menu (: got a 2 scoop which they put in a cup cause I asked for it to go lol Really wanted to try the tacolate but was iffy on the inside being spicy cinnamon ice cream..

    It has been a while since I been to a salt & straw, so I didn't realize how good it is until recently. They have a lot of good limited edition flavors. The olive oil flavor sounds strange, but it actually tastes really good! I can't wait to come back to try their other flavors.

    Delicious all the way JUN2026

    There are now three ice cream shops in Old Town and this one gets busier than the other two. You will definitely find some unique flavors at this shop. The few times I've been here I have seen them rotating flavors and you can test try them before making the final decision. Even if the line is long the service is fast as long as the people in front of you can make up their mind quick enough.

    The service in this place was phenomenal, and the Ice cream was delicious!! Big shout-out to Yusuf, very polite and friendly! Highly recommended!! Great music choices. #BoyzIIMen #FaithEvans

    Strawberry Balsamic Honey with Black Pepper
    Ailun H.

    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.

    Strawberry Coconut Water sherbet I would recommend 10/10!

    Do they sell packs of waffle cones? Like to buy with the pints of ice cream to go?

    I dont think they do. But you may buy them individually

    Are they currently serving cones?

    If you mean waffle cones, yes! You can order scoops in a waffle cone and/or to go to enjoy with your pint at home.

    This "sniffs in" at 4.5 stars…read more.. I "think" I ordered the Halva sesame coconut. I did a couple of tasters and then I line developed so I quick ordered. -- icy and creamy, moderately so on both -- good milkiness -- medium sweet -- the floss was familiar and interesting, but I do not really need it -- single cup is small/medium sized -- $8.00 is fairly typical in this horrible economy RATING = A Baklava walnut tester was pretty good but too sweet for my new health plan and the cinnamon put me off.

    My wife has had Kinrose Creamery in her bookmarks for years, so we took the opportunity to try it…read moresince we were in the area for escape room action! Parking is a bit annoying in this area, so you'll likely need to take a little walk to get to the alley that Kinrose is on. However, when you do enter, you're welcomed with roses, Pac Man, and unique, sweet treats! We sampled most of the menu and found our favourite flavours to be Sheer Moz Brulee and Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss. The Sheer Moz is a perfectly-balanced banana and comes with banana chips. Delicious! Yet, the more we ate the Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss, the more we loved that one. You'll find little crunchy surprises within the ice cream or the fairy floss (not entirely sure), but it all melts smoothly in your mouth. Based on these two flavours alone would we highly rate Kinrose Creamery. The other flavours can be hit or miss based on your preferences. If you're looking for quality ice cream with unique flavours, then come to Kinrose Creamery! Prices are fair, staff is friendly and efficient, and there are a number of seats within. Additionally, you can play some arcade Pac Man!

The food: I got the thai tea soft serve with boba and the boba was squishy but not too soft; The thai tea had the perfect blend of sweetness from the cream + condensed milk mixture (I'm assuming) and the bitterness from the tea. My boyfriend had the milk soft serve and I'm very picky with my milk soft serves but their ice cream is on my top 3 places that do it well. Not too sweet, more milky in taste and no weird artificial aftertaste. This place is for sure going to be my non-negotiable "We have to get something here." whenever I'm in the Pasadena area.

Just a couple tables and chairs outside. They weren't super busy at the time. I was the only person in line. This is my 2nd time trying Bruster's. My first time was at their Rancho Cucamonga location. Nick, the staff member who helped me, was very nice and helpful. I asked for recommendations on their best flavors. He graciously offered them. Thank you Nick! I got to sample a handful of flavors... Boston Cream Pie, Sea Salt Caramel, Death By Chocolate, Caramel Macchiato, and Cinnamon. Thanks for the samples! All the flavors were very good except for the Cinnamon which I thought was very light in taste. Since I was driving, I chose an ice cream shake instead of a cup or cone. Caramel Macchiato was my pick! It had a really nice caramel flavor with coffee bean bits. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't pile up the ice cream to the top of the lid. It stopped at the top of the cup. I felt I was shorted some ice cream unfortunately. Hence, 4 stars! Nevertheless, Nick was amazing. His service was fantastic. Wonderful conversation and experience. Ice cream shake was yummy. It was finished before I arrived home. YES, I will come back to try their other unique flavors! Thank you Bruster's!
