People routinely line up in January, in the rain, to eat Salt & Straw’s ice cream and yes, it really is that good. They make the most popular ice cream in the city and work with local candy makers and bakers on seasonal flavors that will make you wonder if ingredients like rose petals and molé go together (yes, they definitely do). However, their classic flavors, like pear and blue cheese, are just as interesting and are definitely worth trying too. They have three locations around the city, but we like the original on Alberta since you can walk around the nearby Arts District while you enjoy a scoop or two.
