Family-run ice cream company Salt & Straw has opened its newest scoop shop at Disney Springs at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Known for its innovative, taste-provoking flavors that take fans on a never-ending flavor adventure, Salt & Straw is bringing its treats to Disney Springs West Side, following the successful opening at Downtown Disney District in Anaheim, California in 2018.
Salt & Straw’s Disney Springs scoop shop will offer the company’s rotating monthly menu featuring culinary innovations inspired by community and fearless flavor exploration, as well as all-time favorites like Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons, Honey Lavender and Chocolate Gooey Brownie. Alongside these classics, Salt & Straw will also be scooping unique flavor collaborations specific to its Florida locations.
“It;s a dream come true for our little Portland, Oregon ice cream company to have the opportunity to expand our relationship with Disney and open at Disney Springs,” said CEO and Co-Founder Kim Malek. “We love to use ice cream to remix flavors you already know while exploring food trends, social issues and small, local makers. It’s so exciting to bring our unique combination of comfort and adventure to the big stage at Disney World.”
Founded in 2011 by cousins Kim and Tyler Malek, the Portland-based ice cream company has scoop shops in Anaheim, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, San Diego, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon. For its newest location, Salt & Straw worked closely with long-term and award-winning partner, Osmose Design, to create a one-of-a-kind shop including custom details and hand-touches that reflect the intentionality of the company’s ice cream. The scoop shop will also feature a three-dimensional mural to further enhance the location.
Salt & Straw’s Disney Springs opening marks the company’s 27th scoop shop nationwide.
