Don't fear the line, it moved quickly and is worth the wait. Woodblock Chocolate and Almond Brittle with Chocolate Ganache are two of my favorite combinations when stuffed inside a waffle cone.

Everything is great. Lots of different and unique flavors for the adventurous and also the staples for those that aren't. Excellent staff and consistently great service is the cream and cherry on top.

Everything is good here but my favs are the ooey gooey chocolate brownie, honey lavender, snicker doodle and arbequina olive oil. I only go when there is no line so week nights after work are good!

Some of the most delicious and original ice cream we’ve ever had — go for the blue cheese with pear or honey balsamic with fresh strawberries. Try a scoop in one of their homemade waffle cones.

Almond brittle with salted ganache is delicious, flavorful and heavenly.It's sweet, salty and crunchy. This coupled w/their in-house freshly made waffle cone, was an absolute delight to my taste buds

A milkshake made of cinnamon and salted caramel ice cream was a genius concoction suggested by a server here. Also delicious: the almond brittle with salted ganache, and the pear and blue cheese
Allison AbbottJuly 7, 2015
Try everything! Loved having bite-sized samples of olive oil, strawberry balsamic, pear/cheese, and then loved having a full (waffle) cone of the Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache

I tried the one in LA and the flavors here are so much better! The seasonal carrot cake batter with caramel pralines are fab. Always get your ice cream with a cone.
Dave WhelanSeptember 16, 2013
I've been eating ice cream all my life, and never before have I been asked which flavor I want on top when ordering two scoops. That alone would make this a winner, killer ice cream notwithstanding.

As many free samples as you want? Yes please! Get here early on days when its not sunny or the weekend and you won't have to wait in the insane line.
Joe TaulbeeJuly 26, 2015
The line is long,but moves fast. There's a number of flavors (some odd, but interesting) and they let you try some in line. Ice cream is good. Would recommend if in the nob hill area.

Came here on our honeymoon – everything tastes AMAZING. Salt & caramel swirl is the best. They even gave us free pints! Amazing customer service. You have to go.
Rosanna W.April 4, 2015
I liked the cinnamon snicker doodle, strawberry b. vinegar, and stumptown coffee flavors the most!! Smallest size is size of goofball for $3! Tried almost everything!
Joel GoldmanJuly 8, 2013
Probably the best ice cream I've ver had. Get the chocolate blueberry rice crispy treats and birthday cake & blackberries! All made with fresh and local berries from Oregon!
Andy McMillanSeptember 12, 2012
After extensive research I can indeed confirm, this is the greatest ice cream ever made by anyone in the history of ever. If it's on the board, try the pear with blue cheese. Amazing.
Ben HortenJune 1, 2015
The wildflower honey with ricotta walnut lace cookies is a treat, and the almond brittle with salted ganache is to die for. Get it in a waffle cone!!
Lloyd BagtasAugust 16, 2014
The classic and timeless almond brittle is a must. Their seasonal flavors are always magical. Hands down the best ice cream west of the Mississippi.
MarkAugust 16, 2014
Don't be afraid and try all the flavors. You never know if one of those weird sounding ones (bone marrow and brandied cherry?) is actually really good!
Megan KrummDecember 9, 2014
Waffle cones smelled the whole block up! Try the stumptown coffee in a waffle cone or the coconut one
@NacronJuly 19, 2013
The arbequina Olive oil is rich and sumptuous and is apparently Oprah's favorite ice cream. A wonderful limited flavor is goat cheese, marionberry habanero
Carl FigueiredoAugust 7, 2016
Inventive and well executed flavors. Do not come here for standard ice cream. Had the strawberry with balsamic glaze. So good.
LindsayAugust 24, 2013
as with all the advice, basalmic strawberry with pepper is a winning idea. salted caramel also solid.
Jenn YFebruary 5, 2013
This ice cream shop has quite the cult-following for inventive flavors like Honey Balsamic Strawberry with Cracked Pepper. It's every bit as good as the hype - go.
Myasha BermanMay 6, 2016
They let you try as many flavors as you want and ask you if you have any food allergies first. Oh, and it's delicious? Mmm.
Shirley LiuMay 25, 2015
Try the pear and blue cheese & strawberry balsamic with black pepper, but get the Stumptown coffee and bourbon
Mary XJuly 13, 2014
Try the ice cream flight if you want to get in quite a few flavors! I loved the goat cheese flavor, super unique.
Jennifer SalomonMay 22, 2013
Pear with blue cheese is divine! Chunks of sweet pear with a creamy cheesy aftertaste. Just get it.
Scot OlsenJanuary 19, 2015
A lot of their flavours are trying too hard but sometimes they strike gold. The staff usually knows what's worth your time and what's just to pad out the board.
Danika WheelerSeptember 17, 2017
Don't waste time or flavors.... all you need is arbequina olive oil and sea salt with caramel ribbons. Life changing!!! 🙌🏼
Esther DansbyJune 8, 2014
Sample before you choose! don't skip out on the strawberry and balsamic vinegar with black pepper; it's amazing!
Adam K.September 13, 2016
45 minute wait at 10pm on a Sunday but well worth it if you haven't had their ice cream.
ErinJune 20, 2015
Wait time was around 30mins on a Friday night in June. WORTH IT! Try the coconut with caramel bars.
Jenny ChingJune 1, 2015
Wildflower honey with ricotta walnut lace cookies and the classic almond brittle with salted ganache!
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014
Try as many samples as you want. Our favorite is the Honey Balsamic Strawberry!
Kylie FarmerNovember 22, 2014
Great ice cream. I love the monthly flavors and the classic flavors too, they also have killer waffle cones
Mia DominguezFebruary 3, 2015
Great flavors, artisan ice cream and Alberta Street! It's all very good and I love the cones!

Try the Egg Nog W/ Butter Rum - The new seasonal flavors are in and they're all so yummy! This flavor is light and tasty.
BommyJanuary 12, 2015
Oh my, this is the smoothest ice cream there is. Waffle cone is a must.

Sea Salt & Carmel is definitely the go to ice cream. Their seasonal ice cream are also delicious.
Ushma DesaiJune 27, 2019
Most creative ice cream flavors .. recommend getting flight to split up to 8 different flavors. My third time in a week 😂
Rene PotJuly 7, 2017
All the flavors I've tried so far are awesome. Just ask them to try a flavor! They'll let you taste multiple!

Best ice cream in Portland! Try the olive oil ice cream.
Julia ChoySeptember 7, 2017
Amazing ice cream and you can try as many flavors as you want! Fudge brownie and lavender were amazinggg
Social News NetworkJune 28, 2012
Be prepared to stand in line, but it is worth the wait because the flavors are refreshing and unique!
Charlie CollierOctober 4, 2015
Some of Portland's hip eateries seem to me to be more about hype than anything else. Not so with Salt & Straw. Helped that we went on a weeknight and had less than a 5 minute wait.
Amy Johnson CookSeptember 12, 2014
So many great choices, good thing they are patient with tastings even when it's busy.
Allison YuApril 7, 2015
The waffle cones are delicious. Samples are generous but overall don't really understand the hype
Trina UnzickerAugust 10, 2013
It's the voodoo donuts of ice cream! You've got to try it if you're anywhere nearby. Highly recommended.
Brian Diva CoxDecember 4, 2013
Awesome service.. I order a strawberry shake but didn't know it was strawberry honey balsamic vinegar mix.. Eww. So they are making me a new one..
Ricky EngelbergAugust 16, 2014
The olive oil with vanilla is simple but magic. Skip the line and go buy pints.
