>>The look of the shop will be created by Andee Hess of Portland-based Osmose Design with a bit of a nostalgic twist that seems an ideal fit with Disney’s Americana esthetic.
“When I met with Andee I said we want to create great community gathering places, a place you run into your neighbor or the farmer who’s been out harvesting the strawberries you’re going to eat,” Malek said. “She said, ‘Let’s interpret that as a modern day mercantile that’s special to Salt & Straw.’”
Much research on décor and product has already begun: Salt & Straw does not bring a menu of flavors from Portland but creates a whole new set specifically aimed at local tastes.
“When we enter a new city, we work for a year or two in advance to get to know farmers, the yogurt maker or coffee roaster, charcuterie sellers and brewers, and we do flavors that reflect the locals,” she said. “We will definitely have some signature ideas for Orange County and for Downtown Disney, so it’s going to be a really fun, unique menu.”
As for what to expect, Scott Brothers Dairy, a family-owned farm in Southern California, will make the proprietary ice cream base. Then Tyler Malek will create the flavors with local, organic and sustainable ingredients, engineering each one right down to the add-ins. The brittle in the Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache is baked at a lower temperature so that it still retains crunch when frozen. Similarly, the brownies in the Chocolate Gooey Brownie are baked with marshmallow fluff so that they retain a cake-like texture rather than freezing into tooth endangering bits of chocolate brick.<<
>>Prices are not yet available for the Downtown Disney location but Los Angeles scoop shops charge $10.50 for a pint; $3.90 for a kid’s scoop; $4.90 for a single scoop (add 50 cents for two flavors); and $6.90 for a double.<<
