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
Alexandra V.

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.

I absolutely LOVE San Martin and I honestly do not know why I have yet to come back sooner!…read more I recently popped back into San martin after not being there for a while, and OMG! I was instantly reminded why it is such a Dallas GEM! I did not pop in to eat this time, but to find a nice spot to work with a friend on our laptops and yap over a coffee! And while we weren't planning to do much, the experience was still a 10/10! I ended up ordering a White Chocolate latte and it was AMAZING! You can tell they actually put time and effort into their coffee and lattes! Everything is also brewed fresh! Which I love! My friend ordered a artesian hot chocolate and wow! It was probably some of the best hot chocolate I have ever had! It was def made with real cocoa! We did end up splurging on some pastries, because DUH! It's it so hard to ignore the bakery section when it is so stunning and filled with beautiful baked goods! I got a oreo croissant and tortuga concha! I did not eat them (My bf did) but they looked so great! I did try my friends banana custard filled bread and that was great! I would go back for it! Overall, we ended up sitting inside of their beautiful space for hours, just talking and catching up! It was amazing and comfy! We def want to return for some of their dinner and drink specials too! Highly recommend!

We came out for their opening and unfortunately had a pretty disappointing experience…read more We arrived at 4:30 AM and got in line. Based on our count, we were around #40, #41, and #42, so we should have been within the first 50 people to receive the free bag. However, by the time we made it inside, they had already run out. The biggest issue was the lack of organization. There was no ticketing or clear system to keep track of who was actually in line. We also noticed people arriving later and joining friends and family who were already in line, which made the whole process feel unfair. I understand openings can be hectic, but when you're advertising something for the first 50 customers, there should be a system in place to make sure those who actually waited in line are counted. We got there extremely early for a reason, so it was definitely disappointing to miss out because of poor crowd control.

My review is for the pastries at the Mockingbird location…read moreBought 3 of their handmade pastries, averaging about $8-10 per pastry, we tried the mango, the coffee caramel, and the green coconut. 4.5/5 Mango was my favorite! The filling tasted fresh although I wished they added some mango chunks and didn't use that much thickener so the mango filling has a more natural flow and texture. 4/5 The green coconut was 2nd. It's pandan flavor and I always appreciate the more natural green color. Its not too sweet and appeals perfectly to an Asian parent like mine 2.5/5 Coffee caramel was our least favorite. It was too sweet and lacked the depth and caramelized sugar taste. I tasted mostly coffee and there was no texture to prevent it from being so one note aside from the chocolate shell. Personally think this one needs more R&D. I should've tried the other coffee ones. Was expecting a gooey caramel filling and a richer, darker coffee :( I love these kinds of desserts and am very picky but I will be back to try more! They change their offerings seasonally so I can't wait.

I'm really glad I gave this place another chance! I love the neighborhood and love the patio…read moreseating. I met my buddy here last Saturday morning and I purchased the quiche again. This time it was so fresh and flavorful and not too moist, crust wasn't tough - it was delicious!! So sad that I didn't remember to take a photo before I gobbled it up! My bestie ordered a blueberry muffin, then later a croissant sandwich. I didn't try them, but she loved them both. I ordered a latte and it was so good that I returned for another. We enjoyed our visit, people-watching and catching up. The place was very clean although small but most customers seemed regulars and just walked up with their dogs and/or kids and left, so mostly live close-by, it seemed. How nice to take a short stroll to retrieve a delicious treat. Can't wait to visit here again!

There was a huge assortment of danish, butterfly cookies, and a variety of other baked goods. We debated about which ones to buy and picked out our favorites. They were delicious and freshly made. Service was great and they were very patient as we tried to make up our mind on which pastries we were going to buy. Prices were average for what you would expect for a homemade pastry shop. The shop had a comfy feel with cute tables and posters on the wall. We would definitely go back for more baked goods.Yum!
