A Sweet Start: Southern New Hampshire Chamber Welcomes Salt & Straw Ice Cream To Salem

SALEM, NH — The Southern New Hampshire Chamber of Commerce had a scoop-tacular time celebrating the grand opening of Salt & Straw Ice Cream — marking the beloved brand’s first-ever New England location, right in the heart of Tuscan Village in Salem.

The celebration was nothing short of delicious. From $1 scoops (with proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem) to a one-of-a-kind tasting experience featuring ice cream topped with culinary perfume (yes, it’s edible and wearable!), guests were treated to bold flavors, big smiles, and sweet community spirit.

Salt & Straw co-founder and head ice cream maker Tyler Malek joined the festivities, sharing his passion for storytelling through ice cream. Crowd favorites included the unforgettable Chocolate Gooey Brownie — just ask Chamber board member Kerianne Pereira, who declared it “life-changing!”

Now open at 9 Via Toscana, Suite 620, nestled between The Capital Grille and the Artisan Hotel, Salt & Straw offers small-batch, chef-driven ice cream with rotating monthly menus and locally inspired ingredients. Whether you're visiting in person or ordering nationwide, every scoop tells a story. Visit in Salem or explore the menu online at saltandstraw.com. Don’t miss their new seasonal flavors dropping each month.
