Review

Walking into Salt & Straw is like stepping into a culinary lab where dessert meets artistry. Every flavor tells a story — and somehow, they all work.

If you’ve ever wished your dessert could slap you in the face with buttery ambition, this is it.

Salted Caramel Delight takes no prisoners. Thick caramel ribbons swirl through a velvety base like a sugar-fueled jazz solo — wild, smooth, and perfectly chaotic. The sea salt is assertive, not shy, punching through sweetness like a linebacker in a boutique shop.

This is not your dainty tea-party scoop. This is for those who believe dessert should feel like a reward for surviving the day.
