    This was the perfect nightcap to end our Seattle trip. The customer service is great and they let us try many of the fun flavors. We tried a balsamic strawberry, cheddar apple biscuit, and more! I loved the creativity in the flavors. We set on a choco taco that came with a mango, jalapeño chutney to enjoy with it and a salted malted cookie dough. Both were delish! I would absolutely come back here to try more fun flavors!

    No matter how excellent a meal or how much one has eaten, life is incomplete without ice cream. Founded by cousins Kim and Tyler Malek in 2011, Salt & Straw has grown from humble beginnings as a single pushcart in Oregon. During our visit to Seattle last month, some of us decided on ice cream and went to this establishment located by Pike Public Market. My partner, his family, our friends, and I knew this was the right place as the line stretched outside their door to the sidewalk. There had to be around 30 customers waiting, and at first I thought we would be standing there for a while inside that was clean, modern, and had a fun vibe. Surprisingly, the service moved extremely fast. Their menu is quite interesting and rotates regularly, with five of the 20 or so flavors swapping out each month, and they even provided samples. Various flavors were ordered, and my partner and I settled on a plain Vanilla in a cup and Chocolate Gooey Fudge in a cone. It's a bit pricier than an average cone or cup, but the ingredient quality and unique flavor profiles justified them. The staff were super friendly and helpful. It absolutely lived up to the hype.

    My milkshake for the evening....oh so good!

    Recently I was in Seattle to work a conference and I was looking for a place for a late night ice cream treat. Earlier in the week I had walked down to Pike Market and discovered this place where I had gone back in February. I knew I had to get back here.... So on the last night I was in town, I walked here again and got myself a treat...a Sea Salt/Caramel Ribbon milkshake. It was heavenly. Yes the lines were a bit long and yes there was a wait but it was worth it. The creaminess of the milkshake combined with the salty/sweet taste of the caramel...oh so good. Prices were a tad high but it was worth it. If you like ice cream this is definitely a place to check out. The vibe is reminiscent of an ice cream/soda shoppe from our parents and grandparents time when these were quite popular.

    We love Salt & Straw. We were in Pike Place market recently and had to have ice cream before heading back. I got a Strawberry pretzel salad and my hubby got Chocolate gooey brownie. The Chocolate gooey brownie was good as usual. I like trying their seasonal favors and enjoyed Strawberry pretzel salad.

    This place is highly recommended on Seattle TikTok, so had to come during my visit. Their flavors are unique, I've never seen an ice cream place that has an ice cream with porcini. This may not be the spot for you if you're seeking basic flavors, if doing the most was a contest, this place wins. The flavors I sampled were good, the ice cream is rich & flavorful but I found myself wanting to omit some of the extra ingredients. I settled on their cookie dough and chocolate brownie in a waffle and it was great! The waffle cone was fresh and crispy just how I like it. There was a line and probably took us 20 minutes to get through. The young lady that served us was patient and kind. Would go back for that cookie dough!

    Came here after another ice cream spot had a huge line outside. There was a line here too--but we stayed. Interesting ice cream flavors for sure, but you can sample them before choosing. Not much room to enjoy your ice cream inside, but plenty of space out front. Will come back to try other flavors.

    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.

    Passing by this place I was like ohh ice cream, and my family and I cannot resist some sweets. So it is a corner store on Pike St so it did have a bit of a line, inside the line snakes but it moves at a decent speed. Several employees are there to call you up and they ask if you want to sample anything. I like that they give you a sample on an actual little spoon and they have the little holes to drop the empty spoon. My husband and I tried the Huckleberry Oat Crisp with Foraged Porcini. I thought it was pretty good and had very little Porcini but he on the other hand said he had too much. So then I sampled some more and settled on Raspberry Marzipan Princess Cake and oh my goodness it was so fresh and thick and delicious. He ended up with Strawberry Pretzel Salad and it has a rich cream cheese feel with burst of strawberries. My youngest(4yo) got a Hazulnet cookies and Cream- he was a little surprised about the random hazelnut piece but after he wanted more of them. And my 8yo got a Chocolate Gooey Brownie- he doesn't normally like chocolate ice cream but I have never seen him devour something so fast. Pricing was a little steep for ice cream but I think it was worth the price for the creativity and quality of the ice cream. I did join the rewards program but since I don't have one near me I may never reap the benefits. All I took a picture of mine.

    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.

    i have been meaning to try salt & straw ice cream shop for quite a while. they have really unique ice cream flavors. the one that stood out to me the most was the berry pie. i also tried the chocolate brownie which tasted more so as a good standard chocolate brownie. the berry pie had a sweet cream base, tasty bites of pie crust and berries, and i loved all the toppings. i got the smallest cone which was the perfect size, especially on a warm summer evening. overall, a little bit on the pricier side. for the quality of ice cream, def worth it. there was a very long line it did move fast. i would recommend checking out salt & straw!

    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.

    The ice cream was very delicious and the line moved quickly! The servers were helpful and friendly! I would highly recommend this place if you are 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.

It's basically cultured gelato so it's perfect for people who like the texture of gelato and the creaminess of yogurt. I'm a big fan of Ellenos yogurt and wanted to check out this place as well. I went on a summer afternoon so the line was pretty long, but moved quickly so I didn't stand in line for longer than 15 minutes. There were so many interesting flavors and the staff working there said I could sample as many as I wanted before deciding. I really appreciated that as they're pretty busy but still gave me a chance to try some before choosing one I liked. I ended up selecting the Lemon Curd as it was so tart and creamy and the yogurt paired with the lemon made it taste like the yoplait key lime pie yogurt I loved as a kid. I also really liked the Mango, Marionberry, and Seattle Fog so I'll come back for those next time. Ube was highly recommended to me as well but the coconut flavor felt overpowering to me. Regular sized single scoop is called a "walk around the park". If you want two flavors, you have to pay an additional amount for a split scoop. Really enjoyed the gelato and it was the perfect summer afternoon treat!

About a minute after getting my drink, I took a sip and was surprised that it was cold--not even lukewarm, but actually cold. I didn't go back to ask for a remake because there were several people in line behind me and I didn't want to wait. Instead, I ended up microwaving it when I got back to my Airbnb. The latte itself was decent and had a strong espresso flavor, but the mocha syrup was way too sweet for my taste. I think it would have been much better if it had been about half as sweet. The price was also pretty high for a 12 oz latte. The customer service was disappointing. The young woman who helped me came across as rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. That's especially unfortunate for a business located in the middle of a major tourist area. As for the drink, I'm not sure how a hot latte ends up being served cold, but it definitely shouldn't happen. I also sampled the tiramisu gelato, which was overly sweet and didn't taste very authentic. Overall, I regret spending the time, money, and calories here. There are too many great coffee shops in Seattle to settle for an experience like this.

So funny. The staff is kind and is more than happy to let you sample to your heart's desire. There is seating both inside and out. I am sure on summer evenings this place is insanely busy, but on a Monday at approximately 2PM, I didn't wait in a line at all. They had fun summer flavors such as apricot crisp, blueberry cheesecake, cherry chunk, and strawberry sorbet. I tried two different flavors, and both were delicious. Both flavors were extremely creamy, even the fruity flavored ones. I started with the strawberry sorbet. It was refreshing. The strawberry really shined through and was extremely fresh tasting. I feel like strawberry flavoring can sometimes come off as artificial, but I did not have that experience with this ice cream. The second flavor I sample, and my favorite one of the day was the honey lavender. It felt like you were walking through an organic lavender field. As always, cities have expensive ice cream, but I am just a girl, so I will get a sweet treat.
