Amy MatsunoSeptember 2, 2014It just doesn't get better than Salt & Straw and I'm an ice cream snob. Try the Strawberry Honey Balsamic, the Oregon Rocky Road, or the Sea Salt with Caramel. You can't go wrong with anything!
Natalia YugrinovaSeptember 22, 2017The best ice cream with very authentic flavors. You can ask a sample of each and every of them. Few, but very delicious options for vegans (peach cobbler is a must try) are available as well

Janine DuffySeptember 17, 2014The best I've cream I have ever had. There are always weird and somehow delicious flavors like Bone Marrow & Smoked Cherry. My favorite is the Coffee & Bourbon. Honey Lavender is a very close second.
IsaacMarch 24, 2015Amazing ice cream. I had the one with lucky charms and it was fantastic. Line was out the door and down the street on a rainy, cold Monday night, so plan for a big wait.
While I don't recommend you abuse the power, they'll let you try every flavor on the menu. They deserve a big tip for that. Live on the edge and get something new. My go to is olive oil.
Brook ShelleyJune 29, 2015Try the vegan ice cream. It rules. I can't do milk, but I'm also amused by the very stoner-centric special flavors of ice cream they have too - like breakfast cereal.- Fodor's TravelJanuary 9, 2018Limited-edition ice cream flavors from “rescued food,” drawing attention to how 40% of our food supply in the United States goes into the trash. Try the spent brewer’s malts and candied bacon s’mores. Read more
Roniel TesslerSeptember 16, 2016surprisingly, as good as I expected. The White Toast Apple Butter and Cinnamon Snickerdoodle were perfect. Plus our incredible server treated us as a welcome to Portland 👍- Dave HendrixJune 9, 2023Unique & awesome ice cream flavors and fresh waffle cones. You'll probably spend more time finding parking than you will waiting in line. The queue can be long, but moves quickly and staff are fast.
New limited edition flavors each month. Feel free to try them all before you order & drop your spoon down the chute in the counter! 17% butterfat is where it's at!
Erin GJuly 23, 2015AMAZING ice cream. Worth waiting in line (which goes fast). I chose with the Goat Cheese w/ Marionberry Habaneo and Snickerdoodle. YUM.
Justin JacksonOctober 19, 2015The best ice cream I've had in my life. Be sure to ask for 2-3 samples so you can pick your favorite before you buy.
Travel + LeisureOctober 14, 2014For the perfect treat, get their cinnamon snickerdoodle ice cream, made with Red Ape Cinnamon from Eugene and homemade snickerdoodle cookies. Read more
John KhuuJune 21, 2016Expect insane lines just for ice cream at any given time of day/weather. Definitely worth the wait since it's extremely delicious.
Ebrahim BandookwalaMarch 17, 2015The rose and pistachio (seasonal) and the strawberry balsamic and black pepper , look out for the seasonal menu in the right door.
Julia AsakawaSeptember 7, 2015Worth the wait in the queue! Unusual flavours and very big ice cream! Definitely need to try in the home made waffle cone
May Flowers! If looking for something refreshing from the heat, try the Wasabi Flowers & Green Apple Sorbet It uses wasabi FLOWERS, not the actual wasabi, so it is not spicy, but amazingly refreshing.
Maya DJune 16, 2018First time here - extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. We tried a number of flavors and weren’t hurried in the least. Ended up getting the almond brittle - yum!- Brook ShelleyJune 20, 2016There's usually a couple pretty solid vegan/dairy-free flavors but the waffle cone has a little dairy (they usually warn you too :D )
Jeff WeinsteinAugust 9, 2014A scene at night, prepare to wait but it was pretty tasty. The meat flavors aren't as good as they sound but the coffee and vanilla based ones were off the hook.
Hillary BurkhardtFebruary 20, 2015Sea salt with caramel and chocolate gooey brownie ice creams on a homemade waffle cone, you won't be disappointed
Mahesh AsolkarApril 17, 2016If you are just buying pints, you don't have to wait in the line. Grab your pints from the freezer and take them to the cashier.
Rachel GrahnAugust 26, 2015Honey lavender is as delicious as it is beautiful. Split scoop with strawberry rhubarb pie is perfection.- drew tarvinNovember 14, 2015Creative ice cream flavors with seasonal options. Feel free try as many flavors as you want.
Jassim AhmadAugust 6, 2016The best ice cream I have ever had. That's coming from someone who eats ice cream daily!
Matthew KlinkovskyAugust 26, 2013Strange taste combos but really tasty! Don't let your fear of "odd" taste combos in your ice cream scare you off.... Go go the gusto!
Dennis PangJune 22, 2014Go after 11pm once the lines die down. Stumptown Coffee and Burnside Bourbon ice cream FTW
mary pinsonAugust 30, 2014go during the day when there's no line so you can take your time and taste all the flavors freely.
Roz ThomasJune 25, 2016Creamy, loveliness with unique flavour combos. Try the strawberry balsamic one.
Probably the least crowded Salt & Straw in Portland. Trying out new season's flavored are always fun!
Hob NockerJuly 27, 2016Upbeat atmosphere, friendly staff, and the store is efficient at managing the large number of customers
Olivia BlackDecember 30, 2015My fav is the Strawberry Balsamic. Unique flavors with monthly rotating menus.
Mike BodgeDecember 28, 2015ICE CREAM. Try a taste of anything weird they have on the menu but get a cone of something more straight forward.
Jay ThomasJune 8, 2018Everything is great here. The strawberry, balsamic vinegar & black pepper is amazing and the one with olive oil is a standout.
Margherita B.November 13, 2016Yeah, this place is good. Amongst the several flavours they have, I really liked olive oil and honey&lavender
Ulysses .June 19, 2019June flavors pretty good, esp. the mushroom one. But they’re trying a little too hard with the wacky combinations, to the point where you can’t distinguish what’s what. Also, music is way too loud.
Gnat BrainSeptember 4, 2017Funky rotating flavors that has a cult following in PDX and attracts out-of-towners from around the universe.
Make sure you check in regularly for seasonal and limited release ice cream flavors
- C MongMay 29, 2018Always try all the flavors of the month. You can’t go wrong though best ice cream around.
graceface killaJuly 14, 2013Pretty much NO LINES. Don't go to the location in SW- come to the SE, eat Pok Pok, and wash it down with salt & straw.
- S TAugust 15, 2014Pro tip: you can grab a carton from the freezer and walk to the front of the line.
