Our ice cream series continues with crowd favorite, Salt & Straw! Founded by two cousins in Portland, Salt & Straw began with a push cart and quickly became one of the West Coast's most beloved ice creams, expanding to three shops in their flagship city and one in LA.

Why we love Salt & Straw:

Their "farm-to-cone" ice cream, using fresh, local ingredients, is out of this world delicious. They have some of the best flavor combinations out there and have been hailed by The Wall Street Journal as "the new standard to beat."

And for you die-hard fans, you can join their "Pints Club" and for $65/month have five seasonal pints delivered to your door.

Charming exterior in LA's Larchmont Village.

If you would like to think of Salt & Straw at all times, you can purchase a mug for your morning coffee.

I'd be more than happy to take some of these babies home.

Now that Summer is officially here, it's time to eat lots of ice cream! All season long we'll be scooping up at our favorite ice cream shops. First up, is one of our perennial favorites - Sweet Rose Creamery. We frequent the Brentwood location the most, but we hear that their Santa Monica and Mid-City locations have soft serve!

Why we love Sweet Rose Creamery: They make only small-batch homemade ice cream using organic milk and eggs. They purchase produce from their local Santa Monica Farmer's Market. They don't use any stabilizers and their ice cream, sorbets and dairy-free ice creams are made from scratch on the premises every day.
