So good! It's our 2nd time in a week coming here! My gkids are in town and we got another round of ice cream before they go home in the morning. read more

Salt & Straw - Menu 5/4/26 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Loved that Salt & Straw is expanding everywhere. We loved the one in Kirkland and Bellevue---and of course, the original in Portland. Loved that they're coming up with new inventive flavors, pushing the boundaries with complex . Today I tried the plantain with a hint of jalapeño. It's just a cool combination. I love the simplicity of strawberry and coconut, as well---clean and refreshing. We also had the sea salt with caramel ribbons---an experiment of contrasts that work in the end. Loved that they're offer seasonal flavors. The design of the stores are attractive and consistent. The staff are friendly and offer suggestions. I can see why there are long lines all the time. read more

Another great experience! The person helping us was so friendly and helpful. He knew quite a bit about the different flavors and popularity of each. I love how nice they are when you're sampling. They never seem irritated or impatient. We tried a few of the newest flavors and ended up with a couple kid cones of the Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. The kids cups were pretty expensive at $5.25. I wish I would have paid more attention because the single scoop was $6.25, making the kids cup a rip-off! The restaurant was clean and the line moved quickly. I'll definitely be back, but next time I'll pay more attention to the pricing. Would definitely recommend. read more

Cute ice cream shop with unique but not so unique that they're gross. Ice cream was good but not so good I felt like I couldn't continue to explore the local ice cream scene. I do appreciate their spoon shoot for reusable sample spoons to be returned and their staff for being friendly. Awesome whipped cream. read more

After having dinner on the waterfront, it was time for dessert. Don't let the line scare you, it makes quick. Once you get to the doorway, a worker is there & will direct you to the next open station to order. Once everyone gets theirs, you head over to pay. I went with the strawberry pretzel salad in a waffle bowl. I didnt taste it beforehand, but it seemed promising. It was really good, loved the pieces of strawberries & pretzel in it. They have a good system there, so everything flows well & you arent waiting for very long. We got our ice cream & walked back by the water. Perfect way to end the evening. read more

The ice teams do not SOUND very good, but I PROMISE THEY ARE WONDERFULLY CRAFTED and taste AMAZING! I had the Strawberry Basalmic flavor and I LOVED it! The customer service was friendly. They encourage you to try all the flavors, but this one captured my heart! Please give them a try. read more

Salt & Straw: Better Late Than Never! ​I absolutely love me some Salt & Straw! I feel a bit silly, considering they hail from Portland, that it took me so long to try their amazing ice cream. In fact, I didn't even taste it until I was in California and had a scoop at Downtown Disney! ​I'm thrilled that we now have a location right here in Vancouver, Washington, and we make a point to visit about once a month. Their holiday offerings are fantastic, and I love the creativity and variety they roll out each season. ​The service here is always courteous, and even when the line is long, it consistently moves in a very organized and efficient manner. The overall ambiance isn't of frustration as it is in most busy places with a line. Best of all, they encourage you to taste all the different flavors! Given the wide variety and total uniqueness of their offerings, sampling is a must. If you haven't been, you're truly missing out on a scoop of pure unique joy! read more

The staff is always so nice when I come here. There is something about ice cream that just makes everybody happy. My only suggestion is they bring back Almond brittle salted ganache ice cream back permanently and not just seasonal. read more

What to expect is delicious tasting at the initial visit. The serve is very kind inviting to taste different favorites. The portion of ice cream usually contains a large amount. The taste of ice cream is delightful. I definitely recommend visiting Salt & Straw. read more

This ice cream is absolutely a must have if your in the area! The service is spectacular, the girl working was sweet and patient while helping us sample multiple of their delicious flavors. It's a cute and classy establishment to check out by the waterfront. The ice cream was flavorful with a rich and creamy consistency. I got two scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone: Cinnamon Snickerdoodle and Hazelnut Cookies & Cream (v). The vegan cookies and cream ice cream was impressive. I was shocked that it was so delicious. The snickerdoodle had an horchata taste but not overly sweet. Overall super delicious, must try for yourself! read more

I love that they create such unique flavor combinations. Not all of them should be allowed in public, but the creativity is great nonetheless. The service here was spectacular. It was a HOT day and they were packed, but still everyone had a smile, friendly face and allowed everyone to sample all the fun unique and bizarre flavors. The air conditioning was nice and strong and the line was flowing quickly. I tried a habanero berry goat cheese something or other and it was really really good! read more

I love this ice cream shop. The craft made ice cream is to die for! I was quite skeptical with some of the flavors but I went for it and tried several. I like that they date to infuse the flavor combination but it works. The price was right and the service was amazing. read more

Unique Ice Cream flavor parlor in Vancouver, WA by the waterfront. You can try the flavors with a real tea spoon that is disposed of in a little hole in the counter. Try Lavender & Honey, Biscuits & jam or maybe Olive Oil and ??? flavor. Friendly atmosphere with lines for this place that go outside the door. Be patient they are worth the wait for some the most unique flavors ever. read more

Haven't been to a Salt & Straw for years. This branch is located a few doors down from Grassa. We dropped in on a late Saturday (9:45pm). Service was friendly and they let us sample several flavours. There was 20 flavours, scoops are $5.95 USD (single) to $7.95 USD (double). - Single ($5.95 USD) with split scoop ($0.50 USD) - went with the peanut butter brittle caramel fudge and freckled mint chocolate chip read more

This was my first time visiting this Salt and Straw location. I've been eating Salt and Straw for years and am a big fan of their ice cream. This location is newer and part of the Vancouver waterfront. We stopped by for dessert after dinner. I expect a line with Salt and Straw because they are popular and they let you sample unlimited flavors so it takes some time to sample and order. I appreciate that you can try any of the flavors! Salt and Straw is known for making high quality ice cream and making unique flavors. They have seasonal flavors too. I ended up getting their wild berry forage pie slab flavor and the cinnamon snickerdoodle flavor. The wild berry forage pie was unreal. The sweetness of the ice cream paired with the sweet and tart berries and the pie crust was amazing. The cinnamon snickerdoodle flavor had the strong cinnamon flavor with the sweetness of a snickerdoodle cookie and it was delicious. I would get both of these flavors again! The employee that helped us was friendly and happy. Our experience was great at this Salt and Straw! read more

Salt & Straw - So many great flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

How to tell if they have the best ice cream? By the long line at 10pm on a weekday. This place is amazing, not good for my diet but I'll cheat when it comes to salt and straw. When I asked for lots of samples, they didn't even feel bothered and services us gratefully. Everything is just literally melt in my mouth. Perfect bite for every flavor. Definitely one of my favorite ice cream place! read more

Love having one of these in Vancouver! Conveniently located downtown, an easy walk after a yummy dinner at one of the restaurants in the area. You can smell the waffle cones for blocks. I haven't tried everything because the honey lavender is my favorite and it's hard to not get it every time. Highly recommend! read more

Salt & Straw has been my favorite ice cream chain for years, and having now experienced how allergy-friendly they are, I don't see them leaving that top spot any time soon. Their flavors are fantastic, and I love the changing monthly specials, because they're always so interesting and unique. We visited this location on the Vancouver waterfront last month when they were doing the summer picnic series, and we tried three of them - pink rosé and watermelon sorbet, smoked mac and cheese, and cinnamon and honey fried chicken. While I didn't love the fried chicken one, I thought the smoked mac and cheese was a fascinating flavor. Not your usual ice cream flavor, but it worked. The pink rosé and watermelon was my favorite of the ones we got that day, and I wish that were around permanently. It was a perfect summer flavor. We also got the strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper to round out our two double scoop cups, which is one of my favorite three flavors on the regular menu (the others are strawberry and coconut water sherbet and honey lavender), and it was good as always. If you don't want scoops, they also sell pints, which they'll heat a little on request if you want to eat it immediately. From an allergy/dietary restrictions perspective, their website is great, because it lists all the ingredients and allergens. They also do clean scoops separate from the line to ensure minimal cross-contact for allergens, and the whole process felt routine and not like an inconvenience. The staff at this location was really helpful, completely on top of the allergy needs, very friendly, and so observant that they got us a new spoon when my kid dropped his on the ground before I could even go in to ask. Getting ice cream here was 100% worth waiting in line! read more

Always love the opportunity to enjoy me some salt & straw, and even better now that they have the location on the Vancouver waterfront. They taught me that all salt & straws are dog friendly. They noticed my giant pooch sitting outside with my husband and welcomed us to bring him inside next time. There are a few seasonal flavors I crush on hard - blackberry birthday cake and rhubarb & anise. Otherwise, while I try other flavors, its hard to beat the constant of salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough. Heavenly bliss of heavily malted ice cream with the gooey cookie dough. The flavor is magic and makes me so very happy. The smell inside any salt & straw cannot be replicated as it's the fresh waffle cones being made. Extra bonus at this location is it's along the waterfront and they have benches out front where you can enjoy the view and your yummy ice cream. This location is part of my dog friendly Portland Collection. https://www.yelp.com/collection/FlI9FJslnPD306-vaQf82g?utm_content=Collections&utm_source=ishare read more

Salt & Straw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Love the location. They move people through as efficiently as they can while providing tastes of whatever requested. The flavors are unique and innovative. The ice cream is a bit heavy for my taste. Is it worth the wait and hype? Not for me, but it is fun to have the energy in the area. read more

This is a (very expensive) ice cream place, but it's so, sooo good! You can try any flavor you'd like, and then make your selection of what you'd like to buy. They make their own waffle cones right in house, and seasonally you can even get a pumpkin spice waffle cone! Here's the thing: they also have vegan flavors! While I'm not vegan, I can't do dairy. Their vegan flavors are all delicious, I can't tell that I'm missing the dairy! My favorite is to get a scoop of the freckled mint chocolate chip with a scoop of the peanut butter brittle caramel fudge. They do have seasonal vegan flavors too, but these two are the ones that I always go back to - even to the point where I'll buy a pint sometimes to take home! Even though the line may be out the door, the service is always really quick. At most you'll wait 5-10 minutes from the point you're in line to the point you're out the door. read more

Came in for a scoop after dinner. Wait wasn't long at all. Tried a new ice cream tonight. Had a scoop of Coconut cherry pie w/almond crust and it was define. Great scene for ice cream and smiles. We will be back. read more

So glad Vancouver got a Salt and Straw! It's probably my favorite chain ice cream, for its solid texture, flavors, and innovative seasonal flavors.

Ice Cream I ate at Salt & Straw made a good impression to me. Ice cream I ate is called, "Honey Lavender" with a waffle cone, was very unique and creamy ice cream. I have never tried something like this before. The ice cream doesn't taste too sweet nor chemically flavored. The place inside is clean with modern design and good customer service. Salt & Straw also includes balanced ingredient list with fair nutritional content. On average one scoop is around 200-360 calories. (For all flavors). Single scoop: $5.95. Double scoop: $7.95. Kid scoop: $4.40. Waffle cone: $1.65. Total cost ranges from: $7.60-$9.60. read more

We've pretty much lived in Portland/Vancouver our whole lives and have never had Salt & Straw because the lines are always so long and we don't wanna wait. Stopped in today for the first time at the new location on the waterfront in Vancouver this afternoon because the line wasn't that long, surprisingly. It was a hot day and even in the little ice cream shop was hot. I love that they allow to try as many samples as you want. Customer service was excellent! We had someone in a colorful hat and a yellow shirt that was so friendly and welcoming. I asked the cashier as I was leaving what their name was and I believe he said it was Ryan? Or something similar to that. It was loud inside so it was hard to hear. Love how friendly the staff was but this particular person goes above and beyond and I just wanted them to be recognized. Ice cream was really good, very refreshing! read more

Staff is always kind, and I never feel rushed when I get to try all the flavors. And all the flavors are always amazing!

Tried this twice and still not impressed. Overhyped in my opinion, not super flavorful, and very overpriced. If you're looking for better prices & WAY tastier downtown Vancouver ice cream options where you can also support the local, small business, try TREAT or Ice cream Renaissance read more

Went to this newish location in the Vancouver waterfront this evening. The line was pretty short when we got there around 6:30. I had the Salted, Malted Cookie Dough. Delicious with a good balance of salty, sweet and the umami of the malt. I'll get that one again! My daughter had the brownie and my granddaughter had vanilla. Both give a thumbs up! We appreciated the friendly, helpful staff and the new location is a really beautiful addition to the waterfront. read more

What a great location on the waterfront! It's a small shop, no room to sit down but noworries since there are benches just across the street. Garage, street, or paid parking because it's downtown. They don't have 32 flavors like Baskin Robbins, but their ice cream tastes better. Options are a waffle cone, cup or a waffle bowl. You can try any (or all!) The flavors, AND they have edible scent sprays to add to your ice cream. I had the cinnamon snickerdoodle with whipped cream in a waffle bowl and it was still delicious even on a cold day. Glad there's one downtown now! read more

The new location is in a beautiful area! It was my first time in downtown Vancouver and I plan on visiting here again. The staff here are extremely nice and friendly. I usually go to the Beaverton and I always have amazing service. Although it was super busy when I came here, the workers did not look overwhelmed at all! They looked like they really enjoyed what they do and are very detailed when explaining the flavors. I got the cake batter & choco fudge from the chocolatier series. I think it is one of my favorite flavors, but it's only limited edition! I got my ice cream in a waffle cone and it was a beautiful and perfect warm and cold combo. read more

I picked up a 2 scoop of ice cream for my wife who just had surgery and could not come in to eat it so I had to drive it home to her. They don't have any lids for the ice cream bowls and a quarter the ice cream melted all over my center console. All they gave me was a drinks tray that the cups didn't fit in. My ice cream fell out of the drinks tray and landed on the counter. I love the ice cream but if there is no way to keep the ice cream in for a 5 minute drive then I won't be coming back here again. read more

I'm torn on a rating for this particular location. We absolutely love Salt & Straw, and all their creative flavors. It's especially nice that they have some dairy-free options. But this particular location has no indoor seating, which isn't a problem when the weather is nice and you can just go outside to the beautiful Vancouver Waterfront park to enjoy your ice cream. But if it's cold or rainy out, it's not so great. We unfortunately visited with a group of 6 on a cold & rainy night. Since I'd never been inside this location I didn't know they didn't have indoor seating and we ended up eating our ice cream sitting in the car in the parking garage. Oh well, lesson learned. All the young folks working there were incredibly friendly and upbeat, something that's rare to find in a "fast food" place, so that was a plus. read more

This is the best ice cream I have ever had! They had unique flavors along with the classics! The line was long, but moved so so fast! Our group was able to take our time trying all of the flavors we were eyeing in line and get exactly what we wanted.
