Salt & Straw — Restaurant in Salem

I had the delicious 😋 Peanut butter brittle caramel fudge on a freshly made waffle cone ( literally being made in front of us ) and it was absolutely amazing, such a wonderful grand opening with free ice cold refreshing mocktail drinks from the neighboring Friendly Toast restaurant while waiting for the doors to open.

The staff was super friendly and very patient with everyone trying flavours and so helpful 🤗.

Make sure to sample any and all the flavours that you may be interested in, it's environmentally friendly too with the samples being given on metal spoons that you drop down a little shute for washing.

I love that they open early ( for an ice-cream shop ) and close late, LOTS of places to sit outside at tables and benches including some indoor space and a restroom available outback ( just ask for the bathroom door code ).

You can also take ready to go pints home from the freezer and they even sell insulated...

We got a flight of ice cream and not having to worry if there was nut in it was amazing. We got honey lavender, chocolate gooey brownie, apple cider donuts, and goat cheese marjonberry habanero. All the flavor of ice cream was really good and so unique. It was nice and creamy and so full of flavor. Definitely recommend. Also for the price of the flight it was...
