Uptown Plaza just welcomed a highly anticipated addition. Salt & Straw has officially opened its newest Phoenix scoop shop at 100 E Camelback Road, bringing its signature small batch ice cream to the heart of North Central Phoenix. The opening marks another milestone for the nationally known brand and adds a fresh dessert destination to one of the city’s most established shopping centers.
A Sweet Addition to the Neighborhood
Salt & Straw built its reputation on chef driven recipes, thoughtful sourcing and flavors that push beyond the expected.

Guests can expect staples like Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons and Double Fold Vanilla alongside limited time flavors inspired by local ingredients, culinary trends and creative collaborations.
The new shop fits naturally into Uptown Plaza’s neighborhood energy. The area already draws locals for coffee, dining and errands, and Salt & Straw adds a casual stop that works for an afternoon treat or an after dinner scoop. The space encourages lingering, whether guests choose to sample flavors at the counter or enjoy their cones outside in the plaza.
Monthly menu drops remain a key part of the Salt & Straw experience. Each new collection highlights a specific theme and often includes unexpected ingredients that still feel approachable. This rotating structure gives regular visitors a reason to return often while keeping the menu fresh and engaging.
The Uptown opening also reflects continued growth in North Central Phoenix as a destination for both national brands and local favorites. Salt & Straw joins a mix of long standing neighborhood staples and newer concepts, strengthening Uptown Plaza’s role as a gathering place.
