Located in the heart of Little Italy, this ice cream spot is worth the wait. Despite the line being long, the service was impeccable and the wait was brief. The flavors were exceptional, served in generous portions at affordable prices. The cozy interior adds to the charm of this little gem. A must-visit recommendation without hesitation!

The gelato is fantastic! I love that they are always friendly and don’t judge if you want multiple samples! They give you big scoops! The waffle cone that they make onsite is really good! The smell of fresh waffle cones is intoxicating! Enjoy!
We lucked out with the line! The line for salt & straw is usually really long but when we got there (on a cold, windy night), there were only 2-3 groups in front of us. We were served within 5 min. They have rotating flavors as well as permanent ones and you'll definitely have a hard time choosing which ones you want (pear and blue cheese, chocolate caramel potato chip banana bread, strawberry honey balsamic w/black pepper etc). Thankfully they give samples so you can try them before you commit to your scoop(s) of the day or if you really can't decide, they have a flight too! The service is efficient, friendly and the ice cream is innovative, creamy and worth braving the cold for. No wonder everyone loves this place.

Experience here was just lovely. They are super accommodating of our nut allergy. Gooey brownie is my #1 flavor but I always enjoy sampling the other seasonal flavors too. There are just a couple of tables inside the place but several small tables and benches outside. This area is quite lively with a bunch of restaurants and food halls around. We found metered parking just a couple blocks away.

The smell draws you in before you reach the location. This is always a way to lure in ice cream enthusiasts! I previewed the menu before arriving to get an idea of the flavors and I was sold when I saw Cinnamon Snickerdoodle and Pear Blue Cheese. They have lots of unique flavors to choose from. Another random feature that I like is that you can sample the flavors on a real metal spoon! Haha...it's the little things and then drop it in the cute spoon chute. The pear blue cheese ebbs and flows into this is delicious and this is really weird but for flavor adventure....it's worth the ride. The cinnamon snickerdoodle was slap yo momma delicious! Full of cinnamon flavor and huge chucks of cookie rolled in. I would get this again and again. Friendly staff and prices that make sense for the portion. Don't skip the waffle cone either!

They let us try every flavor we wanted! Best pear with cheese and berries with coconut!
We stopped in on a Friday night and really enjoyed the unique flavors here! Tasted a few of them and had lovely customer service from Taylor. A fun and busy place! :)

I had an ice cream flavor that changed my life. Some berry thing with balsamic and black pepper! It was crazy amazing! It was with my flight(!) of ice creams. With this beings said there were some flavors that were ok, but none that were bad.

Y'all, I'm about to tell you something that will make you wish you were living in the 1800s. Do you know what kind of fun ice cream flavors we're missing out on? Move aside cookie dough and salted caramel, 19th-century chefs made ice cream in all kinds of flavors... like asparagus! Oysters, asparagus, and parmesan cheese were all flavors of ice cream extant in the early 1800s. Bet you'll be submitting these flavors to your nearest craft ice cream batch store now, right? I was full. I had just had an amazing seafood lunch because, hey, we're in San Diego. But because the Salt & Straw isn't open yet in Gilbert, AZ, I forced myself to walk a shop or two down and get me some ice cream. A single scoop of Pear & Blue Cheese and a single scoop of Coffee & Love Nuts were ordered between the two of us and wow. I had been the one to get the pear and blue cheese since I didn't want to stick to the vanilla flavors they had, and I won't lie, I kinda regret it. It didn't taste gross, and the blue cheese wasn't strong, but I definitely should have stuck to the sweet profile after a full meal. The cheese wasn't warranted. But that Coffee & Love Nuts though! Amazing and oh so perfect after a good meal. I was definitely jealous. I can't wait for Salt & Straw to be opening up here in Arizona. Until then, I'll be reliving my cheesy ice cream moment here. I think I must have had a past life in the 1800s to be wanting cheese in my ice cream that sunny afternoon in San Diego.

Amazing flavors of ice cream. Super friendly staff. They have pup cups as well. Online ordering available. This place usually has a long line out the door so give yourself some time.
Pretty good, but not my favorite.
