Delicious ice cream awaits you. Not only is Salt & Straw's ice cream yummy, they have unique flavors too. I tried a chocolate brownie flavored ice cream. Perfection. Go for the waffle cones--so good. Staff were helpful. The store was spotless. read more

On a Friday night, it was perfect to stop by for ice cream with our tiny 5 year and 3 year olds after dinner. Line was out the door, and we were a bit intimidated, but it moved quickly! The chocolate brownie was very decadent the way we like it with bits of chocolate chunks for texture and more yum! 4 1/2 stars Vanilla was silky and not too sweet. The flavor was delicious, but our group voted and it was a tie with vanilla and chocolate. two Hence you cannot go wrong with any of these flavors! TWO WINNERS! read more

Every time I pass by this corner, I could smell the ice cream. This time, my daughter went in and grabbed a chocolate gooey brownie scoop in a cup. No line upon arrival with quick service. Few high tops to sit by the window or sit on a bench outside. read more

Good vegan ice cream is hard to find as most places offer only fruit sorbets. But not this place. Very interesting vegan options that combine nuts with standard flavors like vanilla and chocolate. read more

If you're anywhere near Fillmore, run , don't walk to Salt & Straw - 2201 Fillmore St The salted malted chocolate chips, cookie dough, and hazelnut cream combo is absolutely unreal. The chocolate is rich and perfectly salted (that sweet-salty balance? chef's kiss), the cookie dough is soft and indulgent, and the hazelnut cream ties everything together with this smooth, nutty depth that makes every bite better than the last. It's creamy, decadent, and somehow still perfectly balanced , not overly sweet, just pure flavor. You can actually taste the quality in every spoonful. Hands down an excellent choice and an amazing taste experience. Definitely coming back for this one again read more

Everything on the street is so darling, and this small, but mighty location churns out lots of ice cream and happy customers. I finally (after multiple rounds of sold-out online pre-orders) had a chance to try the Taco Bell collab return of the Chocotaco, the Tacolate ($7.95). Delicious! Half the size of the original, with elevated ingredients and execution, this ice cream, novelty packs a nostalgic punch in an updated way. It comes with two Taco Bell sauce packets, berry and mango jalapeño, both fun but unnecessary. The limited edition aspect makes me miss the original ice cream truck version even more, but thanks for the throwback! read more

The Tacolate is back and here to stay!!! We had to come in the day it was finally rereleased, and enjoy this delicacy. The Tacolate is a collab with Taco Bell and Salt & Straw. While the taco is on the smaller size, it packs a punch! The ice cream is well flavored, cinnamon and ancho chili, covered in a crispy shell with puffed quinoa. The shell is super crunchy!! I also got to try out the two sauces, the mango jalapeño and wild berry. The mango one was my favorite, and had a little kick! Because we ordered early, it was quite literally a grab and go. The staff was very quick and helpful. We also enjoyed our tacos sitting in the shop, in front of the windows... do not recommend if you don't want onlookers to lust over your messy eating! read more

You know, I still remember when Salt & Straw first opened this location almost a decade ago. Between how justifiably beloved their ice cream is and the hype around them finally expanding into the Bay Area, it wasn't at all surprising that the lines to come here were so long. Yet, what is even more impressive is that after all of these years, they continue to draw a crowd! Although, with their consistently creative lineup of flavors that always taste so good, it also makes perfect sense! In pretty much every way, this Salt & Straw looks just like every other location I've been to (though, it's notably larger than the one I visited in Sacramento). However, more significantly, their offerings looked even more interesting than usual. For those that aren't familiar, the menu has two parts - a big portion that's devoted to their classic staples that they'll consistently have available and a featured set of limited edition flavors. Sometimes, they're related to the season (chocolatier flavors for Valentine's Day, holiday related, etc.), other times they're based on a certain theme (farmers market, pies, cereals, etc.). Plus, they always have multiple vegan options as well! -- FRECKLED MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP I don't usually go for vegan ice creams, but this one is definitely one of the best I've had, as it has a nice balance of mint and chocolate. I just wish there was also a non-vegan version available, as it'd be nice if this had a milky creaminess to it. -- CHOCOLATE CHIP ZUCCHINI BREAD Of all of the flavors in their Famers Market series, I was most excited to try this one and IT WAS FANTASTIC. The chunks of zucchini bread were fantastic and, with the chocolate chip ice cream, genuinely carried the flavor throughout the ice cream. -- COFFEE & LOVE NUTS Honestly, I must be an idiot for not trying this one before because it is SO GOOD! The taste of the coffee isn't overpowering, but it's strong enough and well balanced with the chunks of chocolate coated pecans, which were delicious! Beyond the ice cream, the other thing that I really like about this Salt & Straw is the location itself. Not only is the neighborhood really nice to walk around and/or mingle at while you're enjoying your cold treat, but parking is relatively easy to find after dinner (a little harder during the day). Given that, as well as how there aren't many similar alternatives in the area, this is a perfect spot for a something sweet to cap your night Can't wait to try the next monthly series, but I hope to see the Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread circle back again one day! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded up! read more

I normally go to the hayes valley location but it was randomly closed on a thursday evening so we came here instead - luckily it was only 10 minutes away! We were really surprised how empty it was as the hayes location is always so packed, so we were able to try samples and order immediately. We ordered a double scoop of the holiday flavors (pineapple upside down cake and almond brittle with salted ganache) in a cup. The almond brittle was great but the pineapple was a bit too tart for my preference and tasted kinda artificial, but my husband really liked it! There was unfortunately nowhere to sit inside as there's very limited seating which were all taken by other customers, but there was still enough standing room for us to finish our ice cream before heading back out in the rain! read more

I don't know how many reviews I've written about Salt & Straw, but I never run out of good things to say. June was probably my favorite monthly menu series ever - pies! I had to try a sample of the Gruyère and Tomato Custard Tart, and honestly it wasn't bad. The cheesy taste was way stronger than the tomato. It was hard to choose a flavor but I ended up getting a split-scoop of the Rhubarb Crumble with Toasted Anise and the Wildflower Honey and Lemon Chess Pie. Both were phenomenal! I loved the pieces of pie crust/crumble mixed in. My friend said the Wild-Foraged Berry Slab Pie was also amazing. Overall, Salt & Straw never misses for me! Will happily return for more. read more

Sea Salt Caramel ICE CREAM is my favorite and especially at Salt and Straw! My daughters and I came here after the seeing the lights at the Gingerbread house at the Fairmont in SF!

We got to taste quite a few of their new flavors and they had a fun Christmas one too. Mine was so good! I absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back ! Service was impeccable and there's seating indoors ! Look forward to coming back . read more

They are so generous with their "Make it a Double" days, where all you have to do is order a single scoop, say "make it a double", and receive two scoops for the price of one. I highly recommend following their social media accounts and/or subscribing to their emails to learn about pop-up deals like this. read more

Salt & Straw - Strawberry and Coconut Water Sherbet - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Francisco, California

Such a classic, I'm so glad I live in walking distance to a Salt n Straw. From college memories to early adulthood, Salt n Straw has been a consistent staple. I love the samples, the staff's always friendly, and this location is centrally located right off the 22 and 1 bus stops. Inside is small so there's often a line (especially later at night and after dinner times) but it moves fast. There's a little bench on the outside of this one too if you need a little stretch break, and very close to Alta Plaza park if you want to munch on your ice cream with a view. I come way too often, but my favorite months are usually March (for the lucky charms flavor), summer July (berries flavors - I'm loving the strawberry pretzel salad and goat cheese habanero ones currently), and Thanksgiving in November. My all year favorites are coffee and love nuts (horrible name, great taste, strawberry pepper balsamic, salted caramel, and olive oil (controversial I know but it's soo smooth), Also this one of the few businesses open past 9pm in Pac Heights and I'm so here for it. read more

Happy summer! Great location and efficient staff. Delicious ice cream and texture as usual 5/5 Berry Slab Pie: tasty with a very fruity flavor. Not too sweet and definitely creamy. 5/5 Honey Lavender: a classic and has floral and creamy balance. Went very well with the berry pie. Samples: Rhubarb Anise: light flavor mostly was vanilla ice cream and not sweet jam Gruyère Tomato: interesting and savory for sure. cheese flavor is present plus the pepper ice cream makes it taste a little spicy Thanks for the first day of summer BOGO scoop!

On a Friday night, my friend and I stopped by this specific Salt & Straw after dinner. There were several people in line, which moved swiftly. Not too different from the setting of other Salt & Straws, there was limited seating indoor and outdoors. My friend and I got a double scoop, ordering the Chocolate Malted Potato Chip Cupcake and the Cookie Dough flavor. We were able to sample these flavors before buying our ice cream, and the potato chip flavor is a seasonal one. We both enjoyed both of the flavors, and I would say that their current seasonal flavors are a hit. This Salt & Straw location is one of the good ones, and I would love to try one of their new flavors during another season! read more

I needed a sugar boost, so I thought this would be the perfect time to finally try the famous Salt & Straw. As expected, the place was packed, with a long line stretching out the door. The energy inside was lively, and the staff was friendly, offering samples like any good ice cream shop. I appreciate that you can taste the flavors before committing, but I wanted to put their basics to the test, so I went in blind and ordered the Double Folded Vanilla--a flavor they proudly advertise as using "twice as many vanilla beans in their extract to pack an incredible punch." Unfortunately, that "punch" never landed. From the first bite, I knew I had made a mistake. The ice cream had a strangely muted, almost bland taste, lacking the deep, rich vanilla flavor I was expecting. Instead of the warm, aromatic notes that great vanilla ice cream should have, it tasted more like a generic frozen dessert--something you'd get from a big-box grocery store under a store-brand label. It didn't have the complexity or depth of real vanilla bean ice cream, and after a few spoonfuls, I found myself just going through the motions, trying to finish it rather than enjoy it. Then, halfway through my scoop, something unexpected happened. I took a bite and suddenly tasted something delicious--a bright, sweet-tart strawberry flavor that was nothing like the bland vanilla I had been eating. Turns out, the scoop they used for my order must have still had some strawberry ice cream residue on it, and that tiny accidental taste was the best part of my entire experience. It was fresh, fruity, and full of flavor, making me instantly regret my choice even more. The only real saving grace of the visit was the freshly made waffle cone. It was perfectly crisp, lightly sweet, and had that delicate, golden-brown crunch that elevated the entire experience. It was easily one of the best waffle cones I've had--if only the ice cream inside had lived up to it. Next time, I'll definitely be ordering something else. The strawberry coconut flavor has my attention now, but one thing is certain: vanilla is just not their thing. read more

Whether you're looking for simple classic flavor profiles or wanting to discover new exotic tastes that dance on your tongue, salt and straw has something for you. Their classic flavors include everything from a simple caramel ribbon to a a balsamic strawberry. These people know how to put together an elegant flavor profile, swirling together herbaceous delights that will tantalize your palate. I tried olive oil ice cream for the first time and it had me going dumb. It was the creamiest ice cream I've ever had, incredibly rich with a wee bit of salt to balance it all. Lina's seasonal apple ice cream was also a delight to the senses, featuring fresh apple and cinnamon swirls. The staff was patient as I tried a variety of flavors (I also spilled some sowwy) so I could feel confident in the cream I chose. Go! Now! Get you some of that sweet delicious cream and let your troubles melt away in their tantalizing oasis of dairy delights read more

This was my first experience at Salt & Straw and it did not disappoint! Michael was very friendly and open to new suggestions that I should try. They had their limited edition Apple series line and I tried a couple flavors but I'm a chocolate chip mint gal. The apple series were delicious though! I originally wanted a second flavor and I picked cinnamon snickerdoodle but I tried the honey lavender and I went with that. It paired nicely with my freckled mint chocolate chip. My mouth is still watering as I write this review! Get a waffle cone it was great to the very last bite! The shop itself is super cute and quaint too. I'll be running into the entrance for my next visit! I sat outside and enjoyed every lick! read more

I stop in here pretty frequently, I make sure to come every month to try out the new flavors. This location can get a crazy line going sometimes but the people working turn it out.

This was my first time trying the iconic Salt & Straw. This location is in a very cute neighborhood with lots of restaurants and shops. I went on a Saturday night and the line was almost out the door. Their menu is super diverse with so many options to choose from. I love that they also have seasonal items and an almost gone menu. They even had a mac n cheese flavored ice cream and it was definitely as described. I ended up getting the cinnamon snickerdoodle and it was perfect! Super creamy and flavorful. My boyfriend got the limited edition apple pie vs pumpkin pie flavor, and it was actually very salty. We were expecting it to be sweet and fruity but we didn't really taste that. Overall, it was super cool to see what they have to offer and I'm very curious about their other flavors! read more

I finally tried Salt & Straw thanks to my friend from Texas, who insisted we go. It's a cute little ice cream shop with some really unique flavors. She had me sample the strawberry balsamic, but the balsamic aftertaste wasn't for me. So, I went with the chocolate brownie, and it was absolutely delicious; rich, fudgy, and creamy. Portions here are huge! I almost ordered a large but realized the small was more than enough. My friend got the March special, which she said tasted just like Lucky Charms. Overall, I'm glad I tried this spot and will definitely be back for the chocolate brownie. Highly recommend! read more

I totally get the hype now that I've been here. I love the little spoon chute that you can return your spoon after you've asked for a sample, and I love the fast service. The server was more than happy to let me try samples of the different flavors! Watch out though because one of the current limited edition flavors is not vegetarian friendly! The fried chicken ice cream is made with croissants fried in chicken fat. The flavors are a total joy and unique, a total taste bud explosion. The fried chicken tasted surprisingly like chicken waffles, despite not having any actual meat in it, and the fried croissant bits were crunchy. There's not much seating inside, but we managed to snag two stools. We split a double scoop and asked to dunk the cone in a cup - the scoops are huuge, so it's definitely worth considering if you want to share a single scoop, but heck, we wanted two try more flavors. Their strawberry honey balsalmic with black pepper is a real treat, the tart of the balsalmic comes out really well, not too overpowering, and blends well with the strawberry and creaminess of the ice cream. read more

I have become a weekly patron of the Salt & Straw. People are amazed because San Francisco is going through the coldest stretch of weather in the last twenty years. I was born here and I remember it being even colder. I mentioned to one of my regular bus drivers that if people in San Francisco waited on warm weather to eat ice cream, that they are waiting for a pipe dream. Old. Old and old fashioned. I only do vanilla ice cream. In my youth I have experienced various flavors; but, I have settled into a pattern. Although, this is the first time since the birth of my grandchildren that I have frequented an establishment that didn't have half-gallon sizes. I even do the ice cream cones for the first time since high school. Service is great. Ambiance is kool. read more

I've always loved coming to Salt & Straws before, can't believe I never wrote a review! Came here in a Tuesday night and it was absolutely packed with a line snaking through the inside of the shop, out the door, and around the corner of the shop. Although the line was long, it went decently fast, which kept everyone in line happy. They gave a menu with the flavors on a sign outside in line so you could read the descriptions before you got to the front. There's limited seated outside (i.e. a single bench) and a couple of stools to sit inside. I did not see a bathroom for public/customer use inside. I was super excited to try their new Halloween flavors. I tried most of their monthly flavors, and the employee helping me was very cordial even though I'm sure they were tired from serving all these customers. They had so many employees serving at once just to keep up with the customers, and they worked so efficiently and kindly that I didn't feel rushed. I ended up getting a single scoop of the Jack o' Lantern Pumpkin Bread flavor. They always pack in so much ice cream into a single that it is definitely at least 2 scoops. I love how this place doesn't shot away from untraditional flavors and challenges your taste palette with interesting combinations. They were quick to get me my ice cream and checked out. The Jack o' Lantern Pumpkin Bread flavor was great! Similar to the Cinnamon Snickerdoodle flavor but with chunks of pumpkin bread, which were so yummy and interesting texturally. Salt & Straw never disappoints! read more

I finally tried Salt & Straw for the first time - and they did not disappoint! After walking by the shop twice, I could no longer resist the aroma of freshly-baked waffle cones. There wasn't a line, so I stepped right up and decided to sample a couple of flavors. I immediately was drawn to blackberry birthday cake, but I also sampled the mac n'cheese flavor for fun (I think it would actually pair well with a tart, fruit flavor). I ended up ordering a waffle cone of the blackberry birthday cake, which tastes like the very best funfetti cake with tart blackberries mixed in. The cone was fresh, sturdy, and subtly sweet. The menu of flavors was shorter than I was expecting - I visited during that strange time in between seasons - but I had a good first Salt & Straw experience nevertheless. I'm looking forward to trying their flavors next season! read more
