On a busy street with paid parking. May need to park further away by a block or 2. Not really any options for free parking in this area but easy to walk to with lots of cross walks.
The area has lots of cute little shops around that are in walking distance. Easy to spot sign for the Salt Cellar, it is a round sigh on a brick building. It is located in a basement but is so cozy and welcoming.
They got salts you can buy to cook with, along with cook books to buy too. They have shampoo, moisturizers, mud masks, carved salt candle holders, salt lamps, salt cutting boards and a few more things.
The salt room is very relaxing as it clears your air ways subtly and has a beautiful warm glow to help you meditate and relax. They have enough space in the room for a maximum of 5 people. The room is great to help people with respiratory issues, Asthma, if you're a recovering smoker or someone with allergies. Sessions are only 45 minutes long and they don't mind if you browse on your phone or chat while in the room. Cute experience I went once alone and the second time with a friend.
At the moment since they're slow you can just walk in, but in the spring and fall they are busier so I would recommend booking...

Total bargain) Would recommend checking this place out to anyone in the area. Reasonable prices, good service, and...
Read moreA few weeks ago our cruise ship stopped for the day in Portland. I am a big sea salt fan and found the Salt Cellar in my tour research. I honestly can say this was my favorite shop we visited that day. We enjoyed the salt room but really loved sampling the various salts. My favorites were the hot while my wife enjoyed ones like vanilla. We came away with several containers and plan to do some online holiday shopping The nice lady running the shop that Sunday was such a treat. She answered all my silly questions and made us feel welcome and appreciated. Very nice experience, I hope to visit there again the next time I make it...
