There are plenty of other specialty ice cream shops out there, but in my opinion, there is no other like Salt & Straw. Their thoughtfully creative flavors, often drawing inspiration from chefs, notables, and locally made products are created with the intention to taste curiously delicious and not just to shock your palate. Their Classic flavors (like Arbequina Olive Oil and Blue Cheese & Pear) are worth the visit, but the monthly changing Seasonal line-up always steals the show. I recommend having the helpful cheery staff guide you through tasting every seasonal flavor. They encourage it! Then order a split scoop of two because you will have a hard time narrowing down your choices.
