Salt & Straw Ice Cream announced the grand opening of their new Oregon scoop shop in Bridgeport Village on May 9th at 11am with free beverages from local partner Roseline Coffee for the first 100 people in line. The Portland-based company has been making ice cream that tells the story of artisans, farmers and meaningful food moments for 13 years. Co-founder and Head Ice Cream Maker, Tyler Malek, creates a menu of classic flavors, alongside monthly rotating menus that reflect culinary trends, seasonality of ingredients and relevant cultural moments.
They have consistently partnered with Oregon-based businesses for their signature menu of classic flavors, including Jacobsen Sea Salt for their Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough; Red Ape Cinnamon for their Cinnamon Snickerdoodle; Singing Dog Vanilla for their renowned Double Fold Vanilla; Durant Olive Oil for their Arbequina Olive Oil flavor, and Rogue Creamery for their Pear & Blue Cheese. Other local partnerships over the years include Cloudforest, Imaginary Authors, Oregon Hill Farms, Coava Coffee, Bitterman Salt Co., Freddy Guy Hazelnuts, and Steven Smith Tea.
Roseline Coffee is the partner for the new Coffee Chamomile Sherbet (v) flavor, featured in Salt & Straw’s chef and co-founder Tyler Malek’s recently released cookbook, America’s Most Iconic Ice Creams: A Salt & Straw Cookbook. The flavor will be available at the shop as part of The Cookbook Series, which highlights flavors from the book.
The new shop is located at 7367 SW Bridgeport Rd, Tigard, OR 97224 and will be open daily from 11am – 11pm. Salt & Straw will be hiring approximately 20 people from the area. Salt & Straw believes in a diverse and safe workplace, investing in development, and providing career opportunities. They are especially focused on creating job opportunities for people with barriers to employment (BIPOC, LGTBQIA+, disabilities, criminal justice system background). Salt & Straw wants to be the happiest part of people’s day and this starts with their team.
