Adrian R.

Was on a morning walk through the domain looking for coffee and stumbled upon this place . I know my daughters love donuts so I decided to get a few and take them to them . Very nice place on the inside and courteous employees. I purchased the Horchata, Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake, Cafe Con Leche, brown butter and salt , and the Maple Blue Berry. They packed all together in a box where they are not touching. I took them back yo the hotel for all to try. My oldest ate the Horchata and was in love with it. Very light with a horchata filling and a semi sweet and light frosting on top. My youngest went for the Brown Butter and Salt , she said it was very salty ( more than sweet and salty), so I tested it to assess and she was right. I know the place is called salt but they should reassess the portion on this one . I tried the Cafe Con leche: this donut is delicious. Has sprinkles on the top that give a cafe smell and light sugar coating then a somewhat coffee with milk center. More like milk with a splash of coffee but still delicious. I have the rest to my youngest and she was dancing while eating it. My wife ate the Chocolate Sheet cake : she loves cake donuts and enjoyed this one . It wasn't overly sweet and not too dense as some cake donuts are. My little one and I shared the Blueberry donut later that night and was pleasantly surprised by the blueberry taste with a subtle sweetness. Overall we enjoyed the experience and I should say I forgot to get coffee. But would go back .

Have been to salty couple of times, service is good, donuts are good too, have good coffee/espresso options, and a nice addition to domain northside.

This was a complimentary meal, but as always, my review reflects my honest experience. I started with the Hash Brown Tots--five hand-cut russet potato bites that were perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and absolutely delicious. I paired them with the Hibiscus Lemonade, which was refreshing and the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I originally came in excited to try the Terry Black's BBQ Brisket & Cheddar Croissant, but they had unfortunately sold out of both the brisket and the croissants. Instead, I had the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on an onion brioche bun. It was good, just not as memorable as what I had hoped to order. A special shout-out to my server, Jayna! She was friendly, welcoming, patient, and happily answered all of my questions about the donuts and menu. Great service can elevate an experience, and Jayna definitely did that. I'll definitely be back to try that brisket croissant--and a few of those beautiful donuts.

we went here to try their coffee and it was very good! we got the seasonal lattes and the workers were very friendly and helpful :)

Okay yum! This place has been amazing consistently. Bree is super sweet, and always has such a kind energy. I've been there several times now and each time I get a different flavor donut. Mind you I've never really been a donut person, but this place has made me a donut person for THIS place. So far I've gotten the Horchata donut, the mango donut, the café con Leche donut, and the Keylime donut. So far I will say my favorite one is the mango one followed by the café con Leche, their flavor, profile, as well as the cream, and glazing that is used on top, especially the topping that they put on top of most of the donuts all of it is just phenomenal and so good. I'm currently on a mission to try all the flavors and so far none have disappointed. I've also gotten two flavored Matcha so far the regular one in the banana one and they're a perfect blend of not too sweet, which is a good pair with the donut. There's seating inside and outside if you just can't wait to dig in, and is fairly spacious.

My weakness is donuts and this place definitely hits the spot for me. They recently expanded their menu to include breakfast sandwiches and those are good too! I love their chocolate donuts and whether you like cakey or doughy donuts this place is for you! They change flavors often so don't miss out if you like a limited edition flavor!

Very cute keychain

This donut place is so good!!! I went to eat two donuts with my sisters and we split them and LOVED them. We decided to do a little shopping in the area before going back and taking some donuts Togo. Well, they will run out of donuts. It is busy during certain times and other times it is empty. They don't have a ton of seating inside or outside. The staff was very nice and friendly and was helpful to me for picking my donuts.

Brown butter and salt cake donut

I tried their brown butter and salt cake donut and it was pretty good. Kind of a cake donut style, and not super sweet. I'll have to come back to try their coffee donut, as they had ran out by the time I got here. It was pretty quiet around 5-6pm on a weekday, but they're still pretty new. Nice and friendly crew, and cool concept.

After Haywire, we made a pit stop at The Salty Donut - a chocolate Sheet Cake donut for me and churros donut for my friend. Once we injected with a sugar rush we were prepared to explore Rock Rose a bit. We were the sole customers sitting in the restaurant while we ate our donuts...so super chill.

I found out through instagram that they got started in Miami, Florida! There is a cute nod to it on their food packaging. Look for the hidden details! I got the Mini Key Lime, Peach Cobbler, Brown Butter and Salt Cake (what they are known for) & Churro & Dulce de Leche.

cappucino, savory croissant with egg, cheese, Terry Black brisket, plus a horchata donut for takeaway

First off, this is no ordinary donut place. And it's in the Domain, so expect a premium product and a bit of a premium price (their Brown Butter and Salt Donut will set you back $5) in a Domain-ish ambience. It's a very short walk from the Red Parking garage. We went there for a Tuesday mid-morning excursion, and I got literally the last croissant to make an egg, cheese and Terry Black brisket sandwich. It was fabulous, the egg baked like a frittata. My partner had the churro donut stuff with dulce de leche creme, and said it was wonderful. I've also had their hearty flagship brown butter and salt cake donut, and I took home (nice box) a horchata donut for later. The cappuccino was great, but small. Seating was more than fine for a weekday mid-morning, though I bet it's packed between 7am and 9am and on weekends. Service was friendly and helpful.

Andi B.

Amazing environment & and greet with enthusiasm. Obviously the staff is friendly and you walk into the door. The food is amazing.! if you wake up early, this is the place you should be at!

Deric L.

It seems like everyone loves these and maybe if they were really fresh, I would've enjoyed them more; however, three stars until I can try them again. I ordered through Uber Eats pretty late in the day. They just weren't all that good for me. I'm not into the salty sweet thing so maybe that's why. It just seems to me that there so many other places around for really good cheap donuts. Why settle for more expensive and mediocre. Again, I'll update this after a second try

Brisket breakfast sandwich, hash tots w chili sauce, Dulce churro star donut, latte, salted hazelnut marshmallow latte w oat milk

Ask the Community - The Salty Donut

Can you just order 1 Donut hole? if so how much before tax will it be?

Donuts are sold by the half dozen (6 each) @ $3.95, and you can mix the flavors that they offer. Traditional glaze, Chocolate, and my favorite Oreo.

The iced coffee tasted extremely bland, even after I added some creamer and sugar. It just didn't have much flavor and wasn't hitting the way I'd hoped. The cinnamon roll was also extremely dry. Usually, if something is just a little below par, I'm pretty easygoing about it, but this one was legitimately not very good. Great location, nice staff, and a cool atmosphere for working or hanging out, but unfortunately the food and drinks just weren't there for me. I probably wouldn't go back.

When we arrived, there was not an open table in the main lobby. I kind of expected the cafe to be empty or just slightly busy. I did not expect it to be slammed. On top of it, there was only one barista working behind the counter, and she was absolutely burning through those espresso shots. As we waited in line, she would alternate between getting a few orders out and taking a few orders. She was honestly a star for that. I ordered the signature Honey Lavender Latte while my girlfriend got the Blueberry Ube Matcha. As we waited for our drinks, I made a craft pinwheel they had laying around and couldn't help but notice all the Capital One branding around me. It felt like the Taco Bells in Demolition Man. Everything is Capital One now. Around the cafe, like the commercials you can't help but see with your favorite celebrity icons during any sporting event, are Capital One employees there to help you open credit cards and other things. That wasn't my purpose inside the cafe, but they're there. Once we got our coffees, I stepped outside and drank the entire thing in mere seconds. I was hot, I was thirsty, and I drank my coffee. It wasn't anything special, but it was not a bad coffee. Maybe just a little sweeter than I expected. Overall, as a Capital One cardholder, I don't hate the perk of $3.50 lattes in our current financial state, and I'll definitely make more stops when I'm back at The Domain as long as I can ignore the propaganda.

The coffee was actually really good, and the gift shop side of the coffee shop is SO cute, with tumblers, espresso cups, mugs and fun little gifts, plus pricier finds like $75 hats and Coach sweaters. Plenty of indoor seating, cute cups and straws, and even vegan pastries? Love that. My cold brew with soy milk was great, and my daughter's strawberry matcha was good once they remade it with oat milk. Now for the not-so-cute part. The service was cold. No hello, no smiles, just very much giving "I do not want to be here." We specifically asked for non-dairy milk, yet my daughter's matcha came loaded with dairy cream and had to be remade. The reaction? Annoyance, no apology, just grabbed the drink and tossed it. Yikes. Also, the soy and oat milk options aren't listed on the menu, and the matcha comes with dairy toppings you'll need to specifically ask them to leave off. For a brand like Coach, I expected a little more polish and attention to detail. I'd come back for the cold brew and the adorable gifts, not the service. Cute cups, good coffee, questionable vibes. A 3.5-star experience for me.
