When we got there, it was full. And I mean completely crowded.
An ice cream chain in Portland but with bases in LA and San Francisco, Salt and Straw is rumored to be the best ice cream in the city. With flavors ranging from toasted baguette PB&J to honey lavender, it’s truly delicious. And did I mention really busy?
There were just so many flavors to choose from. I’m sure you’ve all been in this dilemma before. So we got… eight? Hey, do not make fun of me!
So anyways, here’s a picture of the outside of the shop– it was raining outside that day.
The inside of the shop, their flavor list, and busy employees scrambling to serve customers.
Oh, and if you want a full list of their flavors in all cities, here’s the link below on their website!
And drumrollllll……
Our eight flavors. That’s right. Cookies and Cream with Raspberry Swirl, Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper, Cinnamon Snickerdoodle, Honey Lavender. Chocolate Gooey Brownie, Pear and Blue Cheese, Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache, and Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons. That’s a heck of a lot of ice cream, right there.
And truth be told, they had reasonable prices, and each scoop was delicious. The cinnamon snickerdoodle was not as good as I originally thought it would be, so I would not recommend that, but everything else, especially the honey lavender, I would strongly suggest getting. The honey lavender was a surprise ice cream love for me, but I really loved the subtlety and uniqueness of both the honey and the lavender in the ice cream. Strawberry Balsamic and Cookies and Cream with Raspberry Swirls were also delicious, as was, surprisingly, the Pear and Blue Cheese. These are Oregon fruits we’re talking about.
Overall, I would give Salt and Straw 4 3/4 smiley faces, 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 3/4, with 1/4 deducted because of the cinnamon snickerdoodle, which I was really looking forward to, but alas. The other flavors definitely made up for it tho.
Cheers! And see you next time!
Oh, and an addition!
