Salt & Straw's handmade ice cream is made with all-natural dairy and local ingredients, as well as some imported ingredients from handpicked farms and producers worldwide.
The result - ice cream so delicious (they use 17% butterfat, for a nice, rich and creamy base) that people from around the world visit to get a taste of their ice cream, sometimes even waiting in very long lines!
The first time we went was on a Friday evening around 6pm. There was no line and we walked right in. The second time we went on a Monday night at about 8pm, and the line was about 30 people deep! We were not about to let a long line discourage us from indulging in some delicious ice cream.

On our first visit I had the Salted Caramel Cupcake - a "Blast from the Past" flavor that one of the employees said was the most popular from the "Blast from the Past" list. It was a bit on the sweeter side because of the cupcake, but it was still very delicious. My husband chose the Double Bock Bacon Ale, which he enjoyed, but I didn't really care for it since I could taste the beer. My kids loved the Chocolate with Gooey Brownies (I gave it a taste and it was indeed very yummy!).
On the second visit, my kids got the Chocolate with Gooey Brownies again, and my husband got the Salted Caramel Cupcake. I got the Sea Salt Ice Cream with Caramel Ribbon, which I LOVED! I'm actually not a very big caramel fan, but after reading about the flavor, and overhearing people in line talk about the flavor, I had to try it.
It was such a magnificent combination of sweet and salty, and it is now my favorite ice cream.
There are many other different flavors that Salt & Straw offers, but I know I'd just get this flavor again and again.
Don't be discouraged if you see a long line.
The ice cream is totally worth the wait.
