BommyFebruary 18, 2018Very rich and indulgent ice cream. Staff is nice and patient as you sample through the entire menu. Avoid the line by going on weekdays or by just buying a pint. New flavors every month.Upvoted Mar 13- Taylor LeeJuly 10, 2018Salt & Straw has very original flavors that change seasonally. The Roasted Strawberry Coconut is one of my favorites.
best ice cream shop in San Francisco. Wide variety of unusual flavors. Must get the intoxicating waffle cone as the smell is what lures you in.
Hanna VysochinMay 4, 2019Tried blue cheese and pear and really loved it! You can sample any flavor and all of them are the best! It was hard to choose. Definitely the best ice cream I ever had!
ElifApril 18, 2022They let you try all the tastes and I highly recommend everything! Even the weird sounding combinations might end up the best taste in your mouth! Extraordinary! Salted Caramel, pear&blue cheese ❤️
Banana town flavors and super delicious. Salted caramel ribbons plus weird seasonal flavors FTW.
Lisa RaphaelMay 27, 2019Go back monthly to try the limited edition menu (tho the reg menu is pretty spectacular - try the acme bread + cheese flavor you will be happily surprised)- Beakira LeaMarch 14, 2018The ice creams are so creamy! Lovely taste and some of the best ice creams ever tasted. Highly recommended as the weekly sweet treat.
- J JohnMarch 2One of those regional chains you’re glad to have in your hometown. The Marionberry varieties are always a hit. Simply mouth watering vegan options, the fresh waffle cones are a must try.
Polina ChristopoulouJanuary 6, 2020I think this is THE best icecream place I've ever been to. There a re so many different ice cream tastes it is mind blowing. Make sure you try them all before deciding!- Takes the cake on innovative flavors - loved the melon & capicola with the salted caramel ribbons. Be adventurous!
Vegan and dairy free ice cream = my personal heaven. Love the seasonal flavors as well.
Readiness KFebruary 19, 2019Any ice cream you get is going to be amazing. Split scope is the way to go
Great ice cream with both traditional (vanilla, cookie dough, etc.) and more interesting (roasted strawberry tres leches, olive oil, etc.) flavors.
Nathan JSeptember 20, 2019The best ice cream in the Bay. Salted caramel is my go to but they always have something new that’s out of this world.
H KJuly 29, 2018Try one of many local flavors and get a scoop in a waffle cone. They actually make waffle cones on site!
Josh FerraraApril 8, 2021Everything is great, but if you’re at a loss try the sea salt with caramel ribbons. Whatever you do, make sure you get a fresh cone!- Shalin MantriOctober 1, 2019Strawberry Tres Leches is one of the best ice cream flavors I’ve had in my life. Definitely beats Bi-rite!
Honey Lavender is delicious and not too sweet (rare for Salt & Straw). Skip the line by picking up a pint
Antonis StathisNovember 21, 2018Outstanding customer service by the short young man!I was really impressed!!!Thank you!- Chad HornerMarch 19, 2018you will be overwhelmed by all of the options and you probably can’t go wrong
Gnat BrainJuly 10, 2018Maybe the best place for ice cream in the City. Flavors you won’t find elsewhere.
So many delicious flavors, incl. seasonal ones. Friendly and quick service. SPLIT scoop FTW! 😋
Kian LaviJanuary 11, 2021Skip the vegan stuff and go straight to cookie dough or coffee. It’s worth the lactose intolerance
Sea salt and caramel ribbons ... and basically everything.
Grab a pint to-go. You skip the line, and you save some money!
Go vegan, dandelion chocolate hazelnut cookies and cream
Shawn CalhounJuly 9, 2023Absolutely trash service. 7 people “working“, no one in line, and we had to ask for help.
