    I love salt and straw!! Their unique seasonal flavors always pull me in. This time I had the Raspberry Princess Cake flavor and it was so good. If you like pistachios and raspberry, I highly recommend it. I couldn't even take a photo without a bite missing from my scoop as I had to enjoy it right away. There is no seating or anything inside, but there are some benches right outside that you can use. Seating is limited though so this location is best if you want to walk around while enjoying your ice cream.

    New shop opened in Redmond in a very convenient location near the new train station! I dropped by after lunch for some dessert and was greeted with very friendly and helpful staff. I was able to try all the monthly flavors and our server was very outgoing and helpful. As usual, the shop is very well maintain and has the same vibes as your typical Salt and Straw. Very clean and organized with places for you to stand and eat your ice cream!

    Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake, Coffee & Love Nuts

    I stopped by Salt & Straw recently and it did not disappoint! The service was super fast, and the staff kept the line moving while still being friendly and helpful. The raspberry white chocolate cheesecake flavor was amazing. It had actual cheesecake chunks mixed in, which gave it this soft, chewy texture that made every bite interesting. The sourness of the raspberry was perfectly refreshing and balanced out the sweetness of the white chocolate so well. The coffee ice cream was incredibly creamy and smooth with a rich, bold flavor -- not too sweet, just the right amount of coffee kick. It tasted like a really good latte turned into dessert.

    Salt & Straw has opened up right across from the light rail station in Redmond, and offers an array of delightful flavors for your next ice cream stop. The shop is pretty small, just enough room for a small line and a small bench to one side. There are some benches and seating outside on the adjoining plaza, where you can enjoy ice cream on a nice day. If you don't know what flavor to get, the staff have great recommendations and know all about each flavor; they have a detailed description of each flavor and how it is created which they can recite on demand. My favorite is the strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper! I was a bit skeptical of the inclusion of black pepper, but was surprised that it wasn't too overpowering, instead, the strawberry flavor is very prominent and the ice cream is rich and creamy.

    Finally it's in Redmond. Line wasn't long and the staff is supper friendly and knowledgeable with all the flavors and we tried so many flavors before making our decision. Clean and nice interior .

    After enjoying a lovely lunch at Mendocino Farms, we headed across the street to Salt & Straw for a scoop of ice cream. Even though I had just been to this lovely place there the week before with my family, I love it so much that I was excited to go back with a friend. I ordered my usual--the vegan hazelnut cookies and cream. The portion was just right and absolutely hit the spot. I also admired how slowly my friend savored her scoop, enjoying every spoonful. The location couldn't be better: it's right across from Redmond Town Center and the light rail, with easy parking and a brand-new, premium feel. I'm thrilled to see this area expanding and becoming more walkable. We were greeted by two friendly staff members who offered us samples of different flavors. My friend tried one of the more unique seasonal options. One thing that caught my eye was a bottle that looked like perfume, which turned out to be a flavor spray meant to be misted onto the ice cream. I was intrigued but didn't try it this time--maybe I'll be brave enough on my next visit!

    Oregon brand in Redmond! Cute store is clean and friendly. The flavors are all very unique but on the sweet side for me. The scoops were smaller than I remember them but could have just been the server this time. Lots of cute merch to purchase! What a great location near the light rail station! Good outdoor seating area!

    Excellent location in downtown Redmond. Convenient parking lot in the adjacent building. But also a very short walk from the big Redmond parking garage. The staff is amazing & very friendly. They didn't rush us & allowed us to sample anything we wanted to try. What I thought was a nice touch to their etiquette was how they handed us our sample spoons. End of the spoon facing us. Just something I noticed and was a great way to pass to us. Our ice cream was super delicious. I went with a seasonal strawberry flavor which had a cheesecake base. It was creamy and flavorful and the perfect combo in the strawberry waffle cone. My husband got the vegan peanut butter ice cream and i almost loved his more than mine. The peanut butter was very flavorful and his cream just as creamy for being vegan. Definitely recommend and cannot wait to to come back.

    Now you can get Salt & Straw in Redmond! Salt & Straw is solid ice cream with inventive flavors and monthly specials that has a following, including The Rock! It's always a tasty experience when I've visited a Salt & Straw. The Salt & Straw in Redmond is conveniently located right by the Downtown Redmond station, which makes it easy to get to on the 2 Line. Located in a new apartment building, surrounded by other new eateries and businesses, it's a win for the area. I visited during the weekday during my lunch break, and it wasn't too crowded with patrons. The line moved quickly, and I was able to taste some samples before choosing the birthday cake berry flavor, which is just here for July. The store is small, yet clean, organized and there's seating outside the shop. It's worth checking out if you're in the area, especially if you've never had Salt & Straw before.

    Strawberry Pretzel Salad
    Celina T.

    Service is top notch, and I got a scoop of my favorite limited edition flavor. I'm actually impressed this time: cone is crispy and they have it in strawberry flavor! This is more spacious than the one in Ballard, I love this new build (tall ceilings, merch wall and a dedicated fridge for ice cream/pup cups to go) - makes it easy to manage long lines. No lines when I went though, so was a quick in/out for me.

    Banana Bread with Strawberry Jam

    I have never been to this location before and I was super excited to get some delicious ice cream with my family. When the four of us walked in together at 9pm the store was fairly clean and empty. The two stars are for the ice cream because it's amazing. I ordered my go-to which is the salted caramel, and my sister ordered the banana bread with strawberry jam. Both of us loved how creamy and flavourful our ice cream was. The way we were treated, is the reason this is a negative review. When we first entered the store, the scooper (a shorter woman 5'3-ish wearing a blue hat with brown hair working at 9pm on 7/18) waved us over. After confirming with the couple in front of us that they were still deciding, the four of us approached the scooper. My sister and I knew what we wanted so we both requested our samples and our scoops. When my mom politely asked for a sample for her and my dad, the scooper despite making direct eye contact with my mom, ignored her and began pretending to be busy before trying to call up the next group. At that point my mom advocated for herself and explained that we were together as a group but the scooper didn't once apologise for blatantly ignoring my mom. This behaviour was just rude and disrespectful and does not align with customer service values. If she thought my mom was cutting the line, she should have explained that to her instead of just ignoring her. I was so appalled to witness my mom being treated this way, especially since we literally walked by our go-to Molly Moon's to come here (I guess that's why they had a line out the door and this place didn't.). We were so excited about our ice cream and this ruined our experience. The worst part is, the scooper didn't apologise or even seem remorseful about how she had treated my mom. We definitely will not be returning.

    Went here this past weekend and it was a perfect hot day to get some ice cream. I've always been a fan of this place especially when they do their cereal series inspired ice cream flavors. This time around, I got the huckleberry cornbread pudding split scoop with the other split scoop being the sea salt caramel ribbon flavor in a waffle cone in cup. I found that the sea salt caramel was too salty and indulgently sweet. Probably due to the salt intensifying the sweetness. Luckily I had the huckleberry flavor to help round it out or offset the other flavor. I think it would've enjoyed it more if I got a single scoop of the hbcp flavor. Even though I enjoyed the hbcp, I eventually got tired of it and was consuming just to finish vs consuming to enjoy it all throughout. One interesting thing I found out about this encounter is their aromatics that you can spray over the top to infuse a scent to your ice cream. I thought it was cool but you have to be cognizant of what scents would go well with which flavors or else it could be weird The reason I rated my review higher was mainly for the service. The individual that was helping me was accommodating and let us sample a good amount of different flavors. They kept a cheerful mood and was actually suggesting that we sample a few other things. Definitely didn't feel like I was being too troublesome as a customer.

    We love a new salt and straw location. I came to their soft opening which was pretty crowded, as expected. There's a convenient parking garage connected to the building which is a plus. The workers were all super friendly. Even though there was such a long line, we didn't feel rushed trying to figure out what flavor to get. I was honestly surprised with how smooth their whole operation was, given this was all their first day. The place itself is pretty small, nowhere to sit inside. but there's a shared outdoor area where you can enjoy your sweet treat. Flavors are always bomb. I got a flight with the chocolate chili crisp, huckleberry corn bread, wild berry slab pie, and the strawberry pretzel salad. All the flavors I got were so yummy. 10/10 a welcomed new addition to the Seattle area salt and straw locations!!

    Free smells.

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #80…read more After a poor boba experience at the Capitol Hill location, I wasn't expecting much out of Meetea Cafe in Redmond. Still, since this is the only non-chain boba shop in Redmond, and I was in the area for an event, I decided to give it a chance. The menu at this location is a bit different, since it doesn't allow tea selection for the milk tea at the kiosk. There are two kiosks even though I doubt this place gets too busy, given that it was just after lunch at 1PM on a Sunday, and there was only one other party inside. Boba Milk Tea, 30% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($6.75) - The milk tea is a very pleasing almost orangish color that's actually quite a fragrant, tasting more similar to a Ceylon than an Assam that most other boba shops use. There's a caramelized milky sweetness to the drink, like they use pure condensed milk as a sweetener. It all combines together to give vaguely Hong Kong-style milk tea notes. At 30% sweet, it's pleasingly only slightly sweet, much better than the harsh sweetness at 50% from the other location. Note this drink comes with boba by default, but I wasn't paying attention and ended up adding additional boba (adds 75 cents). At least, I think there was an additional order in the cup, given that it seemed to be a larger amount of boba than is usual. The boba is surprisingly pretty good. While the pearls are smooth, not that sweet, and are a bit inconsistent in size, they have a surprisingly good bounce and the chew is quite good, albeit a tiny bit on the firm side. Overall much better than what I received on Capitol Hill. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 I was really surprised at the quality of the drink I received at this Meetea location. I would happily return for boba any time I'm in Redmond. Bathrooms - One unisex room

Perhaps this is why she was really stingy with my toppings, but I don't think I was in the wrong...
