Portland-based ice cream chain Salt & Straw opened a new Seattle location across from Pike Place Market on Friday.
The big picture: This is the chain's fourth location in Seattle, after it opened a spot in Queen Anne in August.
What to expect: The Pike Street shop isn't set up for people to sit and linger; the idea is you take your ice cream to go as you wander the market or downtown.
- The adjacent pedestrianized area has some outdoor seating, or you can stroll over to the Overlook Walk and admire Elliott Bay while you devour your cone.
Dig in: While Salt & Straw is known for its inventive flavors, I find that a split scoop of two more classic flavors — the vegan freckled mint chocolate chip and chocolate gooey brownie — can't be beat.
Stop by: 102 Pike Street; 11am-11pm.
