No, we really don't have to talk about that. If you don't like anything about the place, don't go there.
And here's more of the same incredibly judgmental, arrogant attitude many people love to have about their own tastes vis-a-vis anyone doing anything different:
"I didn't like the taste of this ice cream; therefore, people who do like it are just mindless idiots. No one could sincerely have tastes of their own that are different from mine; they must be trend followers or doing it just to get attention! Aaaah, why can't everyone just be like me?"

"Doing anything different"... You mean like getting some sleep before getting up at the crack of dawn to go to work?

Or that dumbass planned parenthood chick weakly strumming a ukulele at the Mississippi food carts. Can people just show some respect and quit thinking its ok to bother every fucking person who walks by?

And as a side note to adult ladies- quit standing with your tappy shoed toes pointed inward like a young child, it's fucking creepy. Its not cute to try to look like a child porn star and whimpy helpless victim of some sort. For the sake of all women, step up and present yourself as an adult.

Salt & Straw is weak ice cream and the prices are embarrassingly symbolic of gentrified consumer culture. A pint of Haagen Dazs is 1/3rd the price and 10 times tastier. Sure, you don't get the "experience" of sweating it out with all the other pear-shaped Beaverton tourists who think a toothless gutter punk butchering [enter folk hero song here] is worth your pocket change, but the upside is you won't be a brainless tool who just lost 10 bucks on flavorless (and virtually sugar free) ice cream just to contribute to the hype of a place that's enjoying its 16th minute of fame.

Salt and Straw is pretty OK ice cream in my book. I prefer gelato though, so I don't get too excited.

I agree with Anon on their ludicrous, moronic, brainless, daft, nonsensical, and--dare I say--absurd set up. It looks like they designed the space with the intention of creating a line outside the door. In other words, they built a hype machine, rather than an ice cream parlor.

ahahaha Funny!

Are these new ice cream parlors anything like the rice pudding in a cup stores opening up around town? Whenever I see the rice pudding in a cup shops, I think to myself, all those people are ordering and eating sperm in a cup.

The ice cream at Salt & Straw tastes like roast beef sandwiches. Of course, I could have been having a stroke at the time. I liked Farrells back in the day.

@5 Por Que No has a similar set up that puts the third person in line out the door (or it seems that way). Good for Salt & Straw starting up a successful business and good luck in the winter time. I only went there once and got the lemon basil sorbet, it contained whole basil leaves in it. That was not so good. But they seem to being just fine without my business.

This is the first I've heard of Salt & Straw. It looks like I won't be going.

IA, you aren't about to throw rotten tomatoes at ANYONE. You're going to continue to SHUT UP, act like things are normal, then take your scared ass home and whine and bitch about stuff online, is what you're gonna do.
11
lololololol damosa it's like you're always talking to yourself
12
Good thing i've got jerks like YOU to keep me company.
13
what's with the random capitalized words btw? I MEAN if it's for EMPHASIS then it really JUST distracts from THE message.
14
I guess ironic ice cream is the new ironic doughnuts.
15
Yes it IS for emphasis, DUH! It's not at random. If the Merc. had a set-up that allowed for bold or italicized words, perhaps you'd understand my point better.
16
IS DUH
