GILBERT, AZ — We're getting our first look at Salt and Straw’s new restaurant in Arizona! The first location in our state is located in the ‘Epicenter at Agritopia’ in Gilbert.

The popular Pacific Northwest ice cream shop from Portland, Oregon is known for crafting unique ice cream flavors such as their Honey Lavender, Pear & Blue Cheese, Huckleberry Cornbread Pudding, Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper, and others.

“We pride ourselves on bringing those moments of ‘wonder’ into our communities and bringing our nationwide -spread known company- into these smaller communities to very much be a part of it. We want to be inclusive in there and just kind of become one with Arizona,” said Matthew Eisenbeisz, general manager of Salt & Straw Agritopia, to ABC15.

There are also seasonal flavors to look forward to; don’t worry, there are dairy and gluten free options too.

[With] this opening when through the month of July we will be opening with our BERRIES BERRIES BERRIES series.”
