    Wild-Foraged Berry Slab Pie
    Ely J.

    Delicious and unique flavors! Customer service was good and we were served quickly. We samples a few flavors and went with the wild berry pie. Not a ton of seating inside but we went on a cloudy day so sat on the outside benches. We got 2 scoops and a waffle bowl, after tip is was about $13

    service was slow on a sunday afternoon, there was 2 small groups in front of me and only one worker helping them, a second worker came up to help the group after mine, but 15 minutes of waiting despite already knowing what i wanted to try and buy was kind of annoying. the lighting and vibe was great, seemed like a very cute place, i loved the different flavor combinations and how i could get something pretty regular or something more daring, the one i chose was a limited time flavor and it was pretty good my only disappointment is that when i got a sample it had a piece of pie crust which was awesome but my entire scoop didnt have hardly any if any at all of crust so it wad pretty disappointing as i expected there to be at least a tiny bit throughout the amount i got.

    The ice cream was so good! Service was fast and super friendly. They let you sample flavors and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them, I tried a few and they were all delicious. The shop is pretty big inside with lots of space and I'm sure the line can get long. They also have pup cups in the freezer, which is a nice bonus. Will definitely be back!

    Anything is possible at Salt & Straw I recently stopped by Salt & Straws newest location in Tempe after an ASU basketball game. The store is located on Novus Place across the street from North Italia. The store was super clean and the service was great. If you aren't sure which flavor to get, you can get as many samples as you'd like free of charge. I got the bananas foster with candied pecans and it was phenomenal. It was creamy, packed with banana flavor and packed with caramel and pecans. I'm already thinking about going back for seconds!

    The people who work here are super kind and really helpful. It gives off the same vibes as the employees at Trader Joe's in a way with how cherry they are. I mainly go either the cookie dough or snickerdoodle ice cream. I think they both have their own special name but that is the flavors for the most part. I'll sometimes go for some toppings but the ice by itself is good enough. In addition I always recommend getting a waffle cone. They even let you try free samples as well so you really can't go wrong when it's time to make the purchase. Overall a really nice ice cream spot!

    Don't let their old-timey decor and vibe fool you, this ice cream shop is not exactly traditional. It's actually an ice cream shop that pushes the envelope when it comes to flavors. They come up with flavor combos you'd never thought an ice cream shop would do...like Pear and Blue Cheese or Pumpkin Pie Tiramisu. How about Chocolate Pistachio Milk and Cookies? They have the guts to push the envelope on seemingly weird combos. They do have some more traditional type flavors as well. Before entering the place, you can smell the aromas of waffle-cone making and it draws you in. Everyone that works there is relatively friendly and they are very accommodating in letting you sample their creations. There's not a lot of place to sit and enjoy the Ice Cream though so be warned. A single scoop is over $6 so it's not exactly budget friendly. However, if you're looking for a once-in-a-while treat with ice cream flavors you never thought were possible, this is the place.

    Say goodbye to feeling guilty about asking to taste just one more ice cream flavor before you decide. At Salt and Straw the welcoming staff invites you to try as many flavors as you want... yes! All of them if you'd like! And they mean it. And trust me. You'll want to. They feature some of the craziest flavors I have ever seen or tasted and somehow they make them work! I visited around Thanksgiving, so the featured flavors were designed to take you back to grandmas house for a big ole turkey dinner. The Parker House rolls flavor hit nostalgically for me, while my husband was brave enough to try the Turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce flavor! Ultimately I settled on a classic mint chip for my cone, but not until I had enjoyed several great bites of flavors I'd never had before! This is a great place to stop with friends, family or a make it a fun date night and try a bunch of new flavors before walking out with some yummy ice cream in a delish waffle cone.

    The worker that helped us out and let my boyfriend and I try different flavors was amazing. Darker brunette hair. We learned this location just opened up in October. The first time I ever had salt and straw was in Oregon 8 years ago when my boyfriend took me to show around his home town. It was very nostalgic for him. Glad to see a location is open in Arizona. The brownie one and the pineapple upside-down cake are the 2 I tried. I got 1 scoop in a waffle cone. Delicious! Wonderful location and close to where we live. I would come back again!

    Great location with super friendly employees! Stopped by last night with friends and we had a good experience. The employee was super friendly and gave us as many samples as we wanted. I ordered off their seasonal Halloween menu and it was pretty good. Double Bubble Toil and Trouble (v) - Blend of pineapple, banana, and pear in coconut cream, spiced with cinnamon and vanilla.

    I am constantly blown away by the mad scientist energy at Salt & Straw. They have such a knack for taking a unique combination of ingredients that shouldn't work on paper but taste like a dream in a cup. The shop itself was impeccably clean, and what really stood out was the service. My friend had a specific request to have her ice cream served in a milkshake cup; the staff handled it instantly without a big debate or hassle. It's those small wins that make a local spot feel like home. Now the pear and blue cheese ice cream, is a masterpiece. It sounds daring, but the sweetness of the pear perfectly balances the savory from the cheese. Truly delightful. The death by chocolate cake, this one was for the chocolate lover in me. This place is easily 5/5. See you soon Salt & Straw!

    Just checked out one of Salt & Straw's newest valley locations! Located in Tempe Novus Plaza, which is right on ASU Campus, overall great spot, but you do have to pay for parking unless you are able to snag one of the free street/temporary options. I went with my family and though there was a long line, it moved quickly! We loved that they encouraged sampling and even more so that they use real mini spoons and have a little spoon drop ( love a sustainable feature). Salt & Straw doesn't dish out traditional flavors and has a more unique line up, they definitely imitate a classic, but with their own twist! Some of them being more off the wall than others. I opted for th Salted, Malted Cookie Dough and Olive Oil Vanilla, which paired nicely together! I tried the coffee nuts, lavender, as ell as a few of their seasonal ones. It's a very fun spot and greta for a unique sweet treat. You can also get pints to go, as well as pup cups! Prices are around $6 or so for a scoop, though it is a good size and they do have a .50 cent split scoop charge. Overall, delicious and perfect treat!

    Salt and straw was a great try, but not something I would come back to. Personally I'm more of a Oberweis Ice Cream kind of person, so this ice cream didn't quite meet my expectations. The restaurant is nice and the people behind the counter are great. They offered me a sample of a few flavors as well. Overall, not my taste but a great place.

I have been there many times, and it is convenient as I work within walking distance of Sparky's. Whenever I am walking along Mill Avenue and am craving some ice cream, Sparky's is one of my main stops in the area. The ice cream is delicious. Some of my favorite flavors are Batter in Bed and Banana Cream Pie. However, I have had just about every flavor that they serve, and all of them are delicious in their own ways. I like the pleasant atmosphere. Nice and low-key place where you can relax and enjoy your ice cream. The general manager, Connor, is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He is always a pleasure to talk to whenever I have some time for a friendly conversation during my lunch break at work. Every time I stop by, he ensures I feel welcome and right at home. Another bonus is that they have a rewards program, which offers five dollars off once you accumulate enough points. I recommend it to anyone in the Downtown Tempe area who is looking for a delicious ice cream treat.

Italy and the manager, Gracielle, were both very nice. They were patient while we decided what to order and even let us try samples of the ice cream. I got the Cookies and Cream and Butter Crunch, and both were delicious. I'll definitely be coming back. The inside was clean and had a chill vibe, which was nice for sitting down and talking. Thanks for the great customer service and good ice cream! Give this place a try if you're in the area.

She was super friendly and knowledgeable and let us sample multiple flavors before deciding. I also thought it was such a cute touch that they give you real metal spoons to sample the ice cream instead of the little plastic ones. All of their ice cream is homemade, and you can definitely taste the quality. I ordered the Pecan Turtle Sundae, and baby it was phenomenal. They also have purified water available for customers, which was another little detail I appreciated. Parking tip: Since it's in the city area, you'll most likely need to park in a parking garage. Make sure you bring your parking ticket inside because Sweet Republic can validate it and give you 2 hours of free parking. The only reason I'm giving it a 4.5 instead of a full 5 is because the inside is pretty small. There's probably enough indoor seating for only about 4-5 people, so it's definitely more of an outdoor-seating or grab your-lice-cream and go type of spot. That would be perfect during Arizona's fall and winter months, but during the summer heat, I definitely want to sit inside with some AC. Other than that, everything was phenomenal. Great homemade ice cream, amazing customer service, great vibes, and convenient parking validation. I would absolutely come back.
