Salt & Straw Ice Cream
Salt & Straw Ice Cream is Portland's farm-to-cone ice cream company that offers unique and gourmet flavors. Their ice cream is handmade in small batches using only all natural dairy from Lochmead Dairy in Eugene--where all of the happy, grass fed cows were born right on the farm to ensure the freshest cream possible. They use the best local, organic and sustainable ingredients from Oregon farmers and artisans, such as Rogue Creamery, Stumptown Coffee Roasters and Olympic Provisions charcuterie, as well as imported flavors from small hand-picked farms from around the world. The menu of flavors always features traditional favorites as well as unconventional options that will change regularly, based on the availability of seasonal ingredients. Serious Eats said the flavors are "a good mix of both approachable and challenging flavors, all worth trying" while The Wall Street Journal said "These scoops are so blissful." Salt & Straw Ice Cream was also featured in the Associated Press article, "Ice cream scene heats up with hot new flavors."
Their mercantile style scoop shop opened on Aug. 12, 2011 at 2035 NE Alberta St. and uses 100 percent renewable energy as well as fully compostable serveware for all to go items. The shop serves up scoops of ice cream by the cup, hand rolled ice cream cones, to-go pints, unique sundaes, inventive milkshakes and floats along with goods from local artisans, all served with impeccable service. Seasonal gift packs are available for online purchase and can be shipped anywhere in the United States. Salt & Straw's ice cream cart is available for catering parties and events.
