Salt & Straw - Vancouver WA You absolutely need to hit up this spot on the waterfront if you want ice cream that actually tastes different—we're talking inventive seasonal flavors that change constantly, so there's always something new to try. The vibe is super chill and the line moves fast, plus it's right by the river so you can walk around with your cone and enjoy the view.

Arrive during off-peak hours (weekday afternoons) to skip the line and chat with staff about which seasonal flavors are worth trying. The Waterfront location gets busy on weekends but moves efficiently even when packed.
