^That looks great. Never tried plant based though. Maybe give it shot.

It all comes down the base... if you see the So Delicious Cashew Milk options in stores, those are actually very good. The Salted Caramel Cluster is very nice...

Almond Milk ice cream like Ben and Jerry's non-dairy tend to have texture issues, but the Ben & Jerry's Coconut Seven Layer Bar is solid.

^Nice! Have not tried the Ben & Jerry Bar but have heard good things. I'll look out for those suggestions.

Other good options if you ever get curious about them:

So Delicious Cashew Milk - Snickerdoodle
Ben & Jerry's PB&Cookies (Decent, 7-10 or so but an interesting change)
Haagen Dazs Chocolate Salted Fudge Truffle
Haagen Dazs Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

Caramel was just off though, in a weird way.. Too sweet!! Especially with all of the sweet mixins. It definitely would have been much much better with a salted caramel base.

Cupcake Royale - Washington Hazelnut Brittle w/Salted Ganache

Another great flavor here from what has (for now) become my favorite Seattle ice creamery.

A vanilla base with chunks of Salted Chocolate Ganache and Chunks of Hazelnut Brittle

Pretty simple vanilla base here, in fact it's actually on the lighter side with a pretty mild vanilla intensity. It's good, but I would have preferred a little more vanilla bean or extract in there to liven it up.

The chunks of ganache are perfectly chewy, dense, and go great with that base.

The Hazelnut Brittle has a very, very potent honey/burnt honey note to it, but still nice and sweet and adds a great kick to the milk vanilla. Altogether, it's a salty, chocolaty, honey-laced combination that really pairs up well.

I would like a little more mix-in density, but this is a good one for sure. Not their best, but definitely worth a shot if you're in town./

Score: 8/10

Decided to go to salt and straw after today's gym session and stop by grocery store over there too. Lots of cardio today with 3 classes in a row, so got 2 scoops at the shop.



I tried the Caramel Corn and the Carrot Cake. The corn one ended being not quite what I expected because the scoop had little to no caramel but it did have pieces of corn. Base was a form of sweet cream and it might have been better if caramel swirls had been present. The bits of corn were a little weird cause it was really frozen little bits of corn in a scoop of ice cream.



Wouldn't call that one worth getting shipped or really in store unless you get more caramel. The carrot cake ice cream on the other hand was much better in flavor. It has the spices, enough nuts for the mix in and the bits of carrot are easy to see. I wouldn't pay for shipping on the ice cream but it was a decent scoop. Made me want to eat actual carrot cake though. Almost bought a slice at the store. While it was a decent flavor, not quite sure it's worth the cost for the pint or the calories.

Hopefully next month will be better if not, plenty of other places for ice cream.

Pretty quiet on the national front. If S&S comes through with the Student Series that seems like the only thing really getting my interest to order.

I might have to take Lazy's suggestions and hit a few local places.

Picked up a pint of this on a whim...




Highly recommend for you peanut butter brahs...best pb pint I've tried srs

The swirl and peanut topping were awesome...gave the pint that saltiness to contrast the sweet base...Reminded me of a Payday...for sure going to rescoop.
