Event set up

I love hosting with The Salty Donut! The staff is so lovely, kind, and are always prepared for us. I typically host 10-12 people in their back room. They even give us music control to set the mood! The food and drinks are great and they often run promotions. This is a lovely business that deserves all the love.

Churro & dulce de leche donut Brown butter salt & cake Candied pistachios white chocolate  Mixed berry cheesecake Horchata Traditional glaze

To start - I like this location in the spring/fall because of the outdoors seating. The way the sun shimmers through the leaves creates a gorgeous afternoon vibe. The bathroom is clean and the self serving water is aplenty. Now for the food - Brisket kolache is great, I will always get this again. Horchata donut has a layer of cream inside which I like. It's more yeast like, which I prefer in a donut. New banana coffee donut was interesting, I really liked the crumby part outside but wish the coffee flavor stood out more. Vanilla drink with whole milk - the vanilla shots were strong and should've done oat milk instead. That would make it taste much better Overall, great experience and love the new flavors they experiment with! My thoughts - in the more yeasty-donuts, add a layer of filling inside!

I came in the middle of the day so it was pretty empty and the donuts weren't super fresh, but that's on me for the time I came. The pistachio butter latte is one of the best pistachio latte's that I've tried, wow 12/10 so good! As for the donuts, the churro was super good and I really like the cream cheese filling 8/10. The horchata donut was pretty mid, the topping overpowered the donut and is really messy to eat 5/10. I would come back for the latte alone!

The Salty is hands down one of my favorite donut spots. The vibe is always on point, the service is friendly, and the donuts? Absolutely delicious. Every time I stop by, I leave happy--it's just that kind of place. I love the variety and how fresh everything tastes, and it feels like they put real care into what they do. This is definitely a spot I'll always come back to.

We stopped by here late one evening after hearing so much hype about the Salty Donut. Although we only tried one donut (classic glazed), we were blown away by how good it was. The flavor and density were perfect and it is for sure one of the best donuts in the area. I would absolutely come back here and would love to try more of their offerings.

Light brown curly Hair found on horchata donut

I came to this place on my birthday to kick the day off with a sweet treat. The premise behind this place sounds so promising. I really appreciate novelty and creativity when it comes to something as simple as donuts. There was a lot of excitement in coming to check out this place. Upon entry, I was pleasantly surprised by the clean industrial new space I proceeded to make my way to the counter to pick up an order. I sat down with my Horchata donut and Boston cream donut. I tried the Boston cream doughnut first. It was OK. I didn't quite care for their Bavarian or their chocolate frosting. Bavarian was missing vanilla and sweetness. Chocolate flavor was muted. Because they made their Horchata donut with meringue, the sulfur smell of the egg whites was stinky. They should've gone with whipped cream, which is less stable, but more delicious with no sulfur compounds. If something doesn't smell good it won't taste good either. No Horchata flavor and not enough sweetness. It was dry too despite having meringue. It seems like they were trying to mimic a Tres leches with using meringue. What made the experience come to an abrupt unpleasant end was that there was a light brown curly hair in the Horchata donut that I had only discovered after taking one bite from the horchata donut. Of course it was gross. I'm attaching a photo of the donut with the hair in it. I reported it to the staff, and they said that they would issue a refund for the donut that had the hair in it. To think how many people handled that donut before it made its way to the dining area also feels like a lack of checks and balances. No staff member saw the donut with a hair on it -- even while boxing it in their hand --on a to go order? Not the baker. Not retail staff. No one. This is one of those things that should be preventable -- which shows there is gaps in how employees handle their hair control in the context of preparing the donuts. It absolutely sucked that their collective carelessness leaked through to the customer experience and product.

My boyfriend and I asked the front cashier about how fresh their donuts get made and she replied that they get made at 7 AM. My boyfriend loves fresh donuts (like coming out of the fryer fresh) and it was probably in the afternoon when we got there. She wasn't the nicest to us honestly after we asked that question and the interaction felt very off so we left. As we left, we heard her complain about us to her coworker and for it being unreasonable to make them fresh... I don't know it left a bad taste in my mouth, so we will likely just go try at a different location earlier in the morning. I will say it's located in a really nice part in Bishop Arts and somewhat tucked away in an alley. Super prettily decorated and clean location. I've heard lots of nice things about this local chain, but it's just the vibes from her reply and her gossiping before we even left the establishment that really got to me.

Peach cobbler and Mixed Berry Cheesecake waiting in these cute lil boxes
Miranda S.

Very good donuts! I was impressed. My friend first tried the Salty Donut in Miami and has been a big fan ever since. My only regret is not trying the traditional glazed to get the experience of how their classic donut is. I got the peach cobbler donut and the mixed berry cheesecake donut. Both were great. Will be back!

The donuts are always great. Especially warmed up. The staff is always a combination and super nice and friendly to talk to. Love the experience every time and it's my kids most requested favorite donut shop in Dallas.

Jalapeno Sausage & Cheese Kolache
Dalia D.

Such a cute place! I was on my way for a hair cut and had time to spare. I thought "oh a doughnut and a coffee would hold me over!" Then I was like "???" I thought "this is pretty pricey for a doughnut." I got to the counter and I realize one doughnut could probably feed about 4 people LOL these are CAKES made to look like a doughnut!!! Each one is topped with something amazing. Such care into one doughnut. I decided against the calories (this time) but their jalapeño sausage brioche thing was AMAZING. Not too heavy and the sausage wasn't overly salty/greasy I'll keep the size of the doughnuts in mind next time x

Cookie donut
Hannah S.

I had such a great experience here! The cashier/barista was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better. The patio is really nice with a breeze and a relaxing vibe that makes it perfect for hanging out. I tried the cookie donut, and it was amazing. I also ordered a hojicha latte, which is similar to matcha but lighter and more earthy, and it was absolutely delicious. Overall, I'm a big fan and will definitely be back!

Simon W.

Amazing donuts as always. Great location in bishop arts and worth a stop if you are nearby. The location has a lot of seats and highly recommend the donuts. The cheesecake one was delicious and they change their menu seasonally.

Michelle S.

The donuts were good, but dare a say a little too thick? You'll need to have a pretty big mouth to bite into their donuts, and don't get me wrong they're good but just enough to satisfy a donut craving. I did like that they were overpoweringly sweet like some donuts can be. The chocolate cake donut was a little dry, the horchata was good, but not anything too special and didn't make sense to me because it lacked cinnamon, and the glazed donut was good for what it was... a simple glazed donut.

During our reservation we were the only table for tea. The staff were preparing for a private event later in the day. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Everyone we talked to was absolutely lovely. The restaurant itself was very cute and elegantly decorated. I have zero complaints about either of those things. The service and atmosphere were top notch. The problem was the food and the tea. For the tea, the loose tea was steeped in the tea strainers set over the cups and did not arrive brewed in the pot. Our server poured hot water over the tea at the table and set a timer, then when time was up we lifted the steeped tea leaves ourselves. I do not prefer this method of making tea, it means each cup needs to be individually steeped which is annoying and time consuming, and each cup is weaker than the one before it. You also do not get to select your tea - they offer two teas - one for each part of the experience and each had sweet fruity element that might not be to everyone's taste. As for the food, I was excited to try the chef driven offerings, but I was left very disappointed. To start we got a cup of autumn broth and what they called a scone. It was two very thin layers of somewhat biscuit like bread filled with apple butter and apple slices and was topped with torched cheddar. This was OK, but not what I would consider as a scone course, and it arrived first, not after the savory course. Next, we were served a kale and pumpkin puree salad with quinoa and feta with a granola on top. This was tasty, but an odd paring with the sweeter flavors of the tea they paired with it. From here, things took a left turn. I can't be sure, but many of the items we were served felt a bit stale or dry as if they were prepared the day before. One item - a foccacia with pumpkin hummus - was so dry I couldn't finish it. Other items - the pear and gruyere tart and a small pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting - were very tough and unpleasant to eat. There was no actual sandwiches, just the foccacia with hummus, a dry cornbread wedge with butter, and the pear and cheese tart on the tea stand. To finish, we were served a creme brulee that was overcooked and grainy. The flavor was delicious, but the split texture of the custard made it unpleasant to eat. Overall, I saw the chefs vision for the fall themed tea, but the execution was poorly done. Perhaps it was a bad day, considering they were preparing for the private event, but for the price paid I won't return.
