A nice new Salt & Straw. Looks like this is the biggest store they have ever built. It will be interesting to see if they can keep up with the summer tourist rush. If you've never had Salt & Straw, I am sorry for you. You should.

New location near Pike Place! It was the only ice cream spot open late since we were craving ice cream in the area. I liked the seasonal strawberry tres leches I sampled a lot, but I always end up sticking with one of their chocolate flavors if available haha. There's a lot of space inside this one which is nice - the tables are standing though, not sitting.

I was able to try their Tacolate and it was good! It came in a waffle cone shaped as a taco shell and covered with hard chocolate shell. The ice cream flavor was cinnamon like. You also get a sauce packet or jam like flavor and mango jalepano. This was definitely a unique experience. I liked the jam sauce, as it gave it a nicer and sweeter taste. The service was good! Staff was helpful, friendly and efficient. The ambiance was good. The place was clean. But there was only one seated table.

Yum!!! Love how it smells like waffle cones right when you walk in. The staff are so friendly and so happy to give samples of the ice cream. I like how they have special flavors every month. Fresh and tasty ice cream. Great stop if you're in the area!

Super friendly staff! You can have as many samples as you'd like but highly recommend their monthly flavors! This place used to be a Starbucks so it's relatively new! Visited during non-peak hours but might get really busy as it is in a high traffic tourist area! 5/5 - Pots of Gold and Rainbows / Snap n' Crackle Marshmallow Treats - These flavors will be super nostalgic if you grew up eating cereal! Sweet and a perfect fix for your ice cream dessert needs.

The ice cream was expensive, but that's to be expected with the location and economy. The folks here were nice and service was prompt. No lines though. We listened to the violinist play right outside, so that was a nice plus. There is only one table to sit at. Some standing area though.

Huge fan of salt and straw, and this was my first time trying their freckled mint chocolate chip flavor, which had a coconut and mint cream with chocolate chips. It was very refreshing, mildly sweet, and had a strong coconut flavor. Definitely my favorite flavor from Salt and Straw.

Craving ice cream in Seattle near Pike Place? Then stop by Salt & Straw on the corner of 1st & Pike. IYKYK. Recommendation: Sample several of their Monthly Menu flavors. We tried the Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache, Peppermint Cocoa with Crushed Candy Canes, and the Chewy Molasses Cookies with Rum Caramel. So good!

Awesome employee Katrina

Salt is straw is alway amazing, but our experience at this location was ever better thanks to the wonderful employee Katrina! She was patient , helpful and great with suggesting flavors. Her personality added with the amazing ambiance of the restaurant created a fun and tasty experience. I can't wait to visit again!

How amazing is the new Salt &Straw, very if you ask me. I love having more ice cream options around Pike place. I can't wait for summer. We happened upon the new Salt and Straw this weekend are were pleasantly surprised with no line. It is located in the old Starbucks. It's clean and presented just as the rest of their stores. I love the vibe. The employees are helpful friendly and encouraging to try the crazy flavors. We of course tried all the seasonal and came home with two pints and the chocotaco. The taco was my favorite item this time. I loved the sauce that came with it. We will be back many times.

Salt and Straw isn't just an ice cream shop--it's a tailored ice cream experience that demands your full attention and palate! From the moment I walked in, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Not knowing where to start, the staff recommend some based on their personal favorites. We ended up tasting ALL of the flavors and the staff's patience was nothing short of miraculous . Tasting all of their flavors might sound like a sugar-fueled marathon, but these folks were absolute champions, guiding me through each unique creation with the precision of a sommelier and the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store. All the flavors were all very good, so I won't recommend any specific flavor since everyone's preference will be different, but if it's not too crowded maybe try them all . I will say come with tim and come with curiosity, and get ready for an experience! Verdict: A must-visit for anyone who believes ice cream is an art form, not just a dessert.

On a recent trip to Seattle I was thrilled over my task of comparing creameries and Salt & Straw at Pike Place Market took the win. Don't let the winding line of people outside the building deter you, it moves faster than I would have thought possible. The S&S staff are serious when they say they don't mind if you want to sample every single flavor. If they did mind, I couldn't tell. Can I also try?...... Sure! With happy smiles and a non rushed pace. And with a real spoon with some weight on it. I think it's all part of a strategic seduction to the big dessert. Mystified me how that line moved like fire yet I was able to take my sweet time when it was my turn. These people are magicians! I chose one scoop Freckled Mint Chocolate Chip and one scoop Chocolate Gooey Brownie and both were delicious though I did wish I had more of the Freckled Mint. I can't say any amount of scoops would have been enough of that goodness! Yum!

I went to Salt & Straw with a couple of friends on a Saturday evening. There was a bit of a line when we arrived, but we didn't wait too long to be helped. The employees were so friendly--they kindly let us sample the options & answered our questions regarding their flavors. I ended up ordering a small cup of their strawwberry honey balsamic with black pepper & the cake batter chocolate fudge. I appreciate their eccentric flavors that are unique compared to the flavors in other ice cream shops. Would visit again!

We came here mid-week after dinner for dessert…read more This is a small window with a few tables outside. They make amazing soft serve. They also have these adorable, beautiful fruit sandwiches on display. I also saw they have savoury bento items on the menu. We tried the hojicha soft serve ($6) and it was amazing. It's really just vanilla soft serve with a syrup of a flavor of your choosing - sesame, matcha, hojicha, etc. We were way too full to get the full sundae but we definitely want to get that next. You can have mochi topping too.

The key word here is…read moresyrup, the ice cream itself is vanilla flavored, and the additional flavors come from the syrup options. They currently offer Matcha, Hoji-Tea, Kuro-Goma (black sesame), and Yuzu (Japanese citrus). The shop itself is very small since it's basically a window shop, either renting space from or connected to Tamari Bar. It's more like a little dessert stand located on the restaurant's patio area, with only a few outdoor tables available. The soft serve was okay, but not as creamy as I was hoping for, and it melted pretty quickly. If you decide to add a syrup flavor, I'd recommend asking for only a small amount. Mine came absolutely drowning in syrup, and honestly, the flavor tasted pretty artificial and overpowering.

She had wanted to visit for a long time after hearing so many good things about it, so this was the perfect opportunity. The café itself is bright, modern, and absolutely adorable. It has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax over dessert with family or friends. The menu is a dream for matcha and hojicha lovers. They offer an impressive variety of parfaits, floats, frappes, and lattes, with optional additions like mochi and red beans. It took us a while to decide because everything looked tempting. My daughter and I shared the Hojicha Mochi Parfait, while my son ordered the Hojicha Float with mochi. The parfait had a rich, authentic hojicha flavor and was generously layered with chewy mochi, crunchy cereal flakes, and creamy soft serve, giving it a wonderful mix of textures. The float was equally enjoyable, with a bold roasted hojicha flavor that wasn't overly sweet, and the mochi was a fun addition. The quality of the desserts was excellent, and while the prices are on the higher side, they reflect the quality of the ingredients and presentation. If you're a fan of matcha or hojicha, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

They open later, 4pm during the week and 3pm on the weekends and open until midnight. Great place to get dessert and a drink. We were there at opening, and ordere the grilled cheese which comes with tomato soup, crème brûlée and I had th hot chocolate. The sandwich was good, although I would have liked a slice more cheese. The soup was really amazing. I don't often like tomato soup but this was the exception. Chunks of tomato and a full flavor without a lot of spices. The crème brûlée was warmed and freshly caramelized on top. This is not made in advance and just refrigerated which seems to be more common these days. The hot chocolate hit the spot! Options for no -dairy alternatives were offered which I almost forgot to ask. Liked the atmosphere, spacious and high ceilings. The staff was very friendly and nice. They had a rush when they opened and didn't seem unusual for them. The candied orange was a nice touch.

Ambiance: pretty chill service, we were the only ones there, gossiping late at night. He pretty much left us alone since we entertained us and gave us the check just when we were ready. Food: Im normally a chocolate dessert person, but the chocolate pie was a light chocolate. If you want a rich chocolate pie, this is not your pie. Honestly, the star of the show was deserted island. I don't normally like fruit pies but that's what I'll be ordering again. It's not too sour nor is it too sweet, everyone at the table agreed. It is the goldilocks of sweet and tartness for a fruit pie. Oh and definitely goes well with ice cream!

They lean into forward thinking flavors, and present it without pretension. The vibes are laid back, but when it's busy you are reminded that you live in a city. There's plenty of outdoor seating, but it will get busy out of nowhere. My biggest complaint is that people don't respect the outdoor space. We live in such a beautiful place and people just throw their trash on the ground or leave the area they ate at outside messy. This slows down seating for the next person amongst other things. I'll save the cultural critiques embedded into my "food" reviews in our city for restaurants that aren't doing well. They keep things fun by rotating seasonal soft serve flavors. A lot of the sandwiches are fully loaded and you'll have to use both hands to keep the spillage in check. This place is proof that you can spend still $40-50 for two people to eat in Seattle and enjoy it. The perfect place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon in the city.

I got the original chicken sandwich. The slaw dressing seemed a little runny and made the whole thing a little soggy.

The leaves were cut way too big (or maybe not even cut at all) which made it difficult to eat as well.
