I went to Salt & Straw expecting "just ice cream" and instead got a full-blown personality…read moreexperience in a cone. First of all, the flavors read like someone dared a chef to turn a farmer's market, a cocktail bar, and a childhood memory into dessert--and somehow it works. I sampled things I cannot pronounce, things I would normally avoid, and at least one flavor that sounded like it belonged in a Thanksgiving side dish. Every single one made me pause mid-bite like, "Wait... why is this actually amazing?" The staff? Unreasonably patient. I asked for so many samples I started to feel like I was conducting a scientific study. Not once did they judge me. If anything, they enabled me. What I appreciate most is that it's not just gimmicky weirdness--there's actual thought behind every flavor. You can taste the intention, the creativity, and possibly a little chaos. Final verdict: Salt & Straw is what happens when ice cream stops playing it safe, goes to art school, and comes back with bold ideas and great taste. Come curious, leave slightly confused but very happy.

FOOD We tried: - Sea…read moresalt with caramel ribbons: creamy, the perfect ratio of sweet and salty - Cinnamon snickerdoodle: well-spiced, not too sweet - Olive oil: surprising favorite; not too sweet, deep flavor - Tres leches: not too sweet, espresso wasn't overpowering Every flavor we taste tested and had was incredible. I only wish there was a location closer to me to visit more often and try other flavors, but maybe that is a good thing. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! We took a bit to sample some flavors, and they were very patient. AMBIANCE No seating is available inside the store, but seating is available throughout Disney Springs and many guests ate ice cream as they walked around.

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop at Disney Springs offers a Non-Dairy Hot Fudge Sundae…read moremade with coconut ice cream, hot fudge dairy free whipped cream, diced nuts, a cherry, and a dark chocolate Ghirardelli square. Service was fairly quick considering the number of people placing and waiting for orders. I was so excited to try one of Disney's many vegan options that I didn't even mind the steep price of $23. I do have to stay though, for the price, it definitely filled me up and certainly satisfied my sweet tooth! Amazing plant based option!

While walking around Disney Springs I came across Ghirardelli and my sweet tooth kicked in. When we…read morewalked in it was pretty loud and packed with customers. Surprisingly the line went by pretty fast. Our cashier wasn't friendly and had the attitude that she hates her job but she got our order placed. We ordered a Peppermint Hot Fudge Sundae and a Peppermint Hot Cocoa. The sundae was sooooo good! The fudge was thick and tasted of quality, I loved that they had tiny little chocolate chips with crushed peppermint pieces. All the little pieces added perfect texture to the sundae. The hot cocoa was smooth and rich and even with adding my peppermint bark square into the cup. The only negative is that these two items cost $32. Were they delicious? Absolutely but I'll probably only go to splurge once in a while.

We stopped in…read moreafter dinner and, although it was chilly, the line was out the door of customers who were equally as eager to end their night with a sweet treat. The line moved at a steady pace and CMs did their best to fill orders as quickly as possible. Overall, a good first experience at Boardwalk Ice Cream. Boardwalk Ice Cream is located along the boardwalk of Crescent Lake at the Boardwalk Inn and Villas resort. The menu boasts many different types of sundaes, milkshakes, and more. The establishment itself doesn't have tables and chairs to eat inside, however, there are several places to sit down outside, on the actual boardwalk. Our order consisted of three sundaes * Surf's Up Sundae * Strawberry Splash Shortcake Sundae * Bayside Brownie A La Mode Sundae All three sundaes were crafted well with tasty ice cream and toppings that lived up their names. The Strawberry Splash Shortcake was my favorite. The large chunks of strawberry shortcake left this sundae unparalleled. Pricing was also fair and the CM building our order did so with care, precision, a smile. Our first visit to Boardwalk Ice Cream was a success. We would definitely return in the future and would highly recommend this spot to anyone frequenting the Boardwalk.

I ordered a one-scoop Birthday Cake ice cream in a cake cup (birthday week calls for Birthday Cake!), and the ordering process was pretty simple since everything is done on an iPad. You don't really interact much with the staff since there's a curtain separating the counter, but the iPad system was easy and straightforward. The ice cream itself was really good -- I enjoyed every bite. The indoor dining area had plenty of tables, chairs, and lots of napkins, but I do wish the atmosphere was a bit livelier.
