Crema's Take

Water & Salt is a wonderfully quirky West Sacramento spot that defies easy categorization—it's part premium water bar, part shaved ice destination, and part neighborhood hangout that's been quietly perfecting its craft since 2011. Beyond the specialty drinks and Gunther's ice cream, what really sets this place apart is the genuine care they put into their products, from naturally-syruped shaved ice done the right way to health-conscious water purification that regulars swear by. The welcoming staff, ample parking, and covered outdoor seating make it feel like the kind of place where you'll want to become a weekly regular too.

Fantastic place to get your water, all kinds of water you can think of. But first, I'll review on the ice-cream, shaved iced, fruit freeze. They are amazing and even the 'small' is a large in most other dessert places. The ice-cream is Gunthers, and their shaved ice are massive! The quality is amazing as you can imagine at the place the takes water seriously. If you are the area and want some cold dessert, this is definitely the spot to be. Now in terms of the water, I spoke with Juan the owner, and his is 100% passionate about water. He talked about alkaline water, hydrogen infused water, and how Japan is at the forefront of medical-used waters. Very interesting and it's cool to meet someone so passionate about his work. I've never seen a water store so popular before, so definitely check out the place, and have a chat with Juan and learn the benefits of hydrogen infused water! Enjoy.

I had been recommended by a friend and they use this equipment to purify their water and it has helped me with my health problems. All the products they use their is for good gut health. It's my good to place, it's my home away from home spot. It's a great place from liquid shakes, ice creams and so forth.

I’ve been a weekly customer here, regularly refilling my water bottles, and I’ve always had a great experience. Parking is convenient, and I’ve never had any issues. Everyone who works here is helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. I always feel welcomed the moment I walk in. Sometimes I leave with more than I came for — and I’ve never regretted it. Whether it’s a product recommendation or just a great conversation, this place adds real value to my day. I’m so thankful to have a business like this in my community!

Even though Water and Salt has been around since 2011, this place is still a hidden gem. I am from Southern California and coming across an establishment that actually does shave ice the right way and has the correct consistency, and flavor is super rare. So when I tell you that Water and Salt make a phenomenal shave ice, i'm not saying that lightly. I felt right at home on the Islands of Hawaii.

Super kind workers, delicious shaved iced. Nice they have "natural" syrups and Gunther's ice cream. Plenty of parking and some covered outdoor seating.
