We’re excited to share that Salt & Straw ice cream’s beloved Berries Series has returned, featuring fan-favorite flavors that highlight the season’s ripest fruit alongside two new creations and the limited-time return of the Strawberry Shortcake Waffle Cone. The artisan ice cream brand is also celebrating National Ice Cream Week with the debut of a customizable Pint Sundae. Available now through July 23rd, The Berries Series showcases the best of summer berry harvests and West Coast produce. Returning favorites are joined by two new flavors from Tyler Malek, co-founder, head ice cream maker, and the culinary force behind Salt & Straw: Huckleberry Oat Crisp with Foraged Porcini and Raspberry Marzipan Princess Cake (v). To round out the seasonal lineup, Salt & Straw is also bringing back its Strawberry Shortcake Waffle Cone for a limited time, a fruity pairing perfect for any scoop. If you have the Salt & Straw app, you can take advantage of the “Order Ahead” feature to skip the line! Flavors in The Berries Series include: Birthday Cakes and Blackberries - Mouthfuls of rainbow-flecked ‘confetti’ cake are generously strewn throughout salted vanilla ice cream and wrapped with a ribbon of Oregon Growers jam—made from the plump, juicy blackberries the PNW is famous for. Strawberry Pretzel Salad - An iconic Midwestern “salad” turned scoop is back for another summer! Cream cheese ice cream gets swirled with a crunchy pretzel crumble and finished with ribbons of vibrant housemade strawberry jam. Goat Cheese Marionberry Habanero - A longtime fan favorite! Goat cheese from renowned California cheesemaker Cypress Grove meets a fruity swirl of marionberry-habanero jam in every spoonful. Pioneered in Oregon, they’re a standout in the berry landscape and the ideal counterpoint to the slow-build heat and delightfully funky cheese. *New!* Huckleberry Oat Crisp with Foraged Porcini - Porcini mushrooms are cooked down with maple syrup and a splash of port wine before churned into a silky ice cream base. Huckleberry jam adds bright acidity while hand-broken pieces of oaty rosemary lace cookies bring a savory-sweet crunch. *New!* Raspberry Marzipan Princess Cake (v) - Inspired by Sweden’s beloved green princess cake, pistachio-cashew frozen dessert is brightened with vanilla bean and a touch of salt. Ribbons of tangy seedless raspberry jam streak throughout, alongside toothsome cubes of raspberry marzipan and delicate chunks of vanilla bean cake. Additionally, Salt & Straw is celebrating National Ice Cream Week (7/13-7/20), by offering guests the opportunity to create their own Pint Sundae, featuring three scoops of their choice served in a personalized pint and customized with themed stickers. San Diego Locations include: Little Italy, UTC, Del Mar One Paseo, One Paseo Salt & Straw Ice Cream on Facebook / Instagram

Learn to Make the perfect loaf of Sourdough Bread! Saturday, June 20, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn all about sourdough, and how to make your first loaf of sourdough bread with organic flour and local sourdough starter. Nothing tastes quite like fresh-baked, naturally leavened bread!* We’ll explain fermentation and have a brief discussion about the benefits of making and eating fermenting foods. We’ll show you how easy it is to start making naturally-leavened bread yourself at home! We’ll have a variety of sourdough bread flavors and will bake bread fresh during the workshop. And you’ll do it yourself by rolling up your sleeves and making your very own dough (to be baked the next day!). Includes your own sourdough starter and take-home loaf of sourdough bread! Note: You will also need to turn your dough for about 2 hours after the class to prepare it for baking! * Please note: In the workshop, we will NOT be showing how to make gluten-free dough. In preparation for this workshop, please bring the following items from your kitchen: a heavy mixing bowl; at least 3 quarts size would be best (we will have some if you absolutely don’t have one to bring) a digital kitchen scale (we have some too, but it will make it faster if some people like you bring one) a clean dish towel (to cover your dough in the bowl) a thin spatula or dough whisk, if you have one a pint-size or larger mason jar with a lid to capture your sourdough starter. This is also optional, as we can put them in baggies, but if we can use less plastic, yay us!! Optional: an apron (it won’t be that messy, but if you have a favorite one you like, bring it!) or purchase a Craft Collective apron & support our studio! This workshop is for all ages 12+years with adult, or 16+years. All ingredients and materials included. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschool funds accepted • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified.
