Salt & Straw

Our bright, spacious Arts District scoop shop is located in the creative epicenter of Downtown Los Angeles. Once a grid of auto-part factories, furniture warehouses, and industrial blocks, the Arts District has been sculpted by painters, punks, and other passionate personalities into a haven of studios, galleries, artist hangouts, soaring murals, and great coffee—all grounded in a spirit of visionary imagination and craft since the neighborhood’s first artists and activists sparked a truly Californian renaissance in the '70s.
