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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

If a walking talking donut existed, you likely would not find it at Gourdough's food trailer…read more However, they do have some mutant large and incredibly creative sweet and savory donuts. The hubs and I decided to split the Big Elvis donut with house made peanut butter icing, fresh grilled bananas, grilled bacon and honey). What is not to like about this combination of ingredients? This savory donut's base was Gourdough's (play on words) signature sourdough donut and then layered with each of the ingredients. The layering of ingredients and flavors created a 5-alarm palate explosion. The donut was delicious...better and better with each bite. Wow, wow, wow! Crunch...flavor...smokiness...crunch...flavor...smokiness! We have not had a donut quite like this one. Maria, our donut chef, boldly told us that it was going to be best donut we had ever eaten. Such a bold claim...however, Maria came with "receipts". Total donut nirvana... Gourdough's is in a food truck park with ample seating outside and a few of cushioned love seats. Superb experience...

Crazy novelty donuts!!…read more This place has over the top donuts that still taste good! Unlike some of the other Austin donut locations like VooDoo or The Salty, I feel like Gourdoughs is at the intersection between unique style and good taste. I enjoyed both, but def preferred the Naughty or Nice! I will say the Gummy snake on the baby rattler was a little dry. It is a food trailer, but they do have seating outside. They have Christmas lights which are very pretty, but I went at night in mid October so I wasn't facing the brutal Texas heat. They have really good hours, perfect for a late night snack. The workers were quick with our food. They call it out and you go pick it up from the trailer. I will say it looked mostly like paid parking, but we risked it & didn't pay as we were probably there for less than 30 minutes.

One of our favorite post-pool summer treats! The kids especially enjoy the Violet Crown and Brown…read moreSugar Milk Tea soft serve, which they wish were a full time menu item. But perhaps best of all in their eyes--the icy cold patio self-serve water. "No one else gets their water so cold! " Will be back often and recommend to friends!

First time checking this place out last weekend. A couple things that immediately put us off had to…read moredo with sanitation. Their patio area was FILTHY: tables with dirt and crumbs, napkins on the floor, grime. It was just gross. Then, in the very small space inside where you order, somebody brought in a massive slobbering dog (NOT a service dog) and the staff were completely blasé about it. So not so much into health codes here apparently. We each ordered a taiyaki, and also got 3 macarons and 2 donuts. The ube macaron had great flavor but was completely stale, so it sucks that they are serving old food. The vanilla-passionfruit and yuzu were much better (and fresher). As for the chocolate donut, we liked the flavor but we're not the biggest fans of mochi because something the texture makes it feel like you're eating something raw. Same issue with the pumpkin donut. We do have to say that the taiyakis were awesome. We had recently tried SomiSomi and these ones were definitely better. The "fish" has a great balance of chew and crisp, and we loved the consistency of the soft serve. One of us got the pumpkin and it had such a pleasant light flavor to it that wasn't cloying or artificial. So good. One of us had to get ube and black sesame in a cup because you couldn't swirl them and both flavors were delicious, as was the unique red bean paste (which we fell for when we were in Japan this past summer). If not for the sanitary conditions and semi-catatonic workers, this would be four stars. We can see ourselves coming back again at some point, and hopefully they can train their staff to clean up, smile, and not let customers bring filthy animals into a confined space. Three stars for now.
