Salt & Straw offers dairy-free choices that change often. Most of these are fruit sorbets, along with some plant-based flavors.

Fruit sorbets are the most reliable dairy-free option. They often feel lighter than cream-based ice cream, but they can still contain added sugar.

Some vegan flavors use coconut or oat bases. These can be just as rich as dairy ice cream. “Dairy-free” does not always mean fewer calories.

How to Order Dairy-Free Safely

If you have a milk allergy (not just lactose issues), take extra care:

• Ask staff which flavors are fully dairy-free
• Request a clean scoop
• Avoid shared toppings or mix-ins

Menus change often, so it is safest to check in the store each time.
