I don't live close by but if I could I'd probably be here every day! Can't go wrong with a little sweet treat! I enjoy the different options they have when they update the menu but also the inclusion of vegan or gluten-free items. I ordered the half-dozen to share with my family, and added the Strawberry Frosted Pop Tart for my little one. My favorite is the Brown Butter & Salt so far but that Vegan Coconut & Ube really took me by surprise! I'm not vegan but taste was amazing! I need a location in Central Park please! read more

The Salty Donut - Traditional Glazed Brown Butter & Salt Mini Key Lime Pie Caf Con Leche Boston Cream Vegan Coconut & Ube - Donuts Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I come usually on the weekday mornings. The guy who works there is on it and knows what he's doing. I love taking my kids and visitors coming into town here because the food is good - or was good. Unfortunately, just within weeks, things seem to have gone a bit downhill. Not sure what happened, and it makes me sad because I love The Salty Donut. The one thing I have noticed - weekdays or weekends - is that there is not enough staff. This morning, the poor girl working the register said she was only on her 2nd day. She was definitely not set up for success, having to figure out the register during the morning rush. And there was only 1 other person working with her out front who was very, very condescending. They should not be working with customers. Makes for a very bad impression. Did you know that donut holes are considered donuts? Well, apparently, I didn't know; but that person told me they are! How lucky am I to have learned something new? A bunch of us customers today were standing around, lamenting about the terrible service. One lady was just waiting for 6 donut holes (which are already made and out in the display case), and she was there at least 5 minutes before me. My kids love the donut holes, and it seems they removed the 3rd option. So now there are only the glazed and Oreo flavors. What I love - or loved - were the hash browns. They were big, tasty, and in cube shapes. This is the only place I know that served them this way. And then today, I order them and what's changed? They are 1/3 of the size of the ones we just got a few weeks ago and they were very burnt and super greasy (see pictures). I couldn't even finish them, they were so awful. While the hashbrowns got smaller and more burnt, you know what didn't shrink? The price! It saddens me. I'm hoping the food and service quality goes back up. I really do like taking family/visitors here, but I won't be for a while. read more

The first time I had gone to the salty was with a Yelp event and I was really excited to go back with my mom and my brother for breakfast. What happened? There was kind of a series of unfortunate events that were pretty avoidable in my view. We arrived at 9:30 in the morning there were two people working and nobody else in the business. We were given menus and sat down and looked at them for a while. Decided that we wanted to start with breakfast sandwiches and coffee and went up and ordered. we were then told that they were out of all of the breakfast sandwiches except for one so it would've been really easy to tell us that when we took our menus rather than waiting for us to decide and then telling us. However, because we have all spent substantial amounts of time working in the service industry, we said whatever and switched and picked out donuts and drip coffees we paid, and then we were told that the drip coffees were going to be about 10 minutes cause they had to brew a new pot now Stella customer service at that point would have been for them to say hey really sorry we're out of drip coffee can I make you an Americano instead cause usually when you're having a doughnut you're not trying to wait for a new pot of coffee to be built oh and we were also visiting with a young toddler so that puts you on their time. So we sat down and waited 10 minutes while they brewed a new coffee and picked up our donuts. When the coffees did come out even though my mom and I ordered ours exactly the same hers was scolding hot and she wasn't able to drink it for a while, but mine was the perfect temperature so not really sure how that happened. A little bit of a Goldilocks situation my brother took a drink of his coffee, and the lid wasn't put on and so he ended up with coffee all over his shirt. He at this point went and said something to the staff about our experience and they ended up giving us a gift card for part of our order which was very nice but avoidable. I was hoping that we would all be like yay the salty was awesome. Let's go there all the time. I don't know that this is gonna be the case at the end of the day. As I said all three of us have spent substantial amounts of time working in the service industry and understand that sometimes things go wrong was unfortunate here it was that the things that did go wrong could've been easily mitigated with some basic customer service. read more

I've been here twice now and each time I think maybe it's the last time. TLDR: too expensive for what it is. The employees are lovely and I like how all the options are displayed in front of you to make an easy choice. However, each item is incredibly pricey for what it is. Both times I have gone have been on days that Bakery Four has been closed. If both are open, my choice is, unfortunately, not here. A tiny croissant sandwich and 2 little donuts was $30. Everything is premade, so you can't make any substitutions or changes of any kind. Just not worth it for me, although I've heard from others that the donuts are good (I'm not a fan of donuts). Hopefully those make this place a little more redeemable! I will say that the interior is really well done. Visually, the place is great. You can also order through a little window to the left of the doors, which is convenient, particularly for those with dogs or strollers. read more

LOVE this place!! Donuts were amazing- I tried the peach cobbler donut which was filled with peach pie filling and had this marvelous maple spice icing. Also tried the glazed which was really sweet and soft and delicious. The ambiance inside is great and would be great for a work from home spot or a quick sweet treat on a date. Staff was really helpful in picking flavors. Would return! read more

Went at noon and unfortunately almost everything was sold out- which clearly it's very popular and loved but it would've been nice having more options to pick from. Went with the hibiscus tea and the Boston cream- the Boston cream wasn't anything special and the hibiscus was refreshing. I recommend stopping by when exploring Tennyson street but wouldn't say this is a place to go out of your way to stop by. Hopefully next time they have more options! They have a nice patio to hangout and people watch read more

Do wish for a bit more donut variety. Obviously this isn't Winchell's or Dunkin' but freshness? You really cannot beat The Salty. My Texas friends have been raving about The Salty for ages. Unfortunately never tried it with them but now we have one here in Denver. Score. They have a handful of standard staples and then they do donuts for holidays, special events, the Super Bowl for instance. That being said this isn't a donut you grab and eat later that day or even the next morning. FRESH. Please eat these within twelve hours. Really just speaks to their quality but it's not a break room donut that hangs around for a day or two and the chemicals nuclear apocalypse preserve them like a Twinkie. Hot and cold drinks are available. Water. Juice boxes for the kids. Beloved Coke a cola. Standard cold brew, cortado, americano, lattes, and matcha. But they also do special seasonal drinks and drinks that pair exceptionally well with their donuts. Inside you have a handful of seats but for this area of Tennyson/Berkley it's more of a grab and go. You have the nearby park and obviously all the shops up and down the street. Plus what cute cups and boxes for donuts. It's a statement piece for sure. What a cute little donut logo. I somehow feel that the Call Your Mother bagel and Salty Donut are cousins at best. Seriously, check their fun logos! You can order to go online via their app/website/ or the wonderful InKind app. They even have a to go window so you can stay outside with your furry friend and get your caffeine and sugar fix to go. Staff is quick and friendly. Lines can take a bit on the weekends but during the weekday it's a quick in and out. They open early too so anytime before nine you can pretty much order and go. Welcome addition to the neighborhood. Will certainly seek them out on trips to other cities. Love their vibe and look. Very curious to see all the other stores and get their individual flavor or neighborhood vibe. read more

I am here for this donut shop! Firstly, the ambiance is perfection. It's relaxing and inviting and clean- which is more than I can say for most donut shops. I also love that they have a take out window in case you're on the move. The staff is so kind. Everyone seemed genuinely happy and helpful. Their mood truly dictates the vibe of an establishment, and I just felt happy in here. We got the chocolate donut, and the plain glazed, a regular latte, and a brown sugar chai. Everything was great! The donuts were soft, not dense which I appreciated. Neither donut was too sweet, but the chocolate one was obviously rich because my choco loving child didn't finish hers. Pro tip- don't leave them on the counter overnight in the box. Stale in the morning. Oops. 5 stars! If you're looking for something super sweet you may not rate this as high (for what I got) but I prefer this level. I didn't have a headache from the sugar afterwards which is a huge win! read more

It was great to visit the The Salty Donut, I've been following them online for a few years and finally got to enjoy their treats. I picked up the GF blueberry and maple as well as the brown butter and salt cake donut in addition to a lemonade. The staff was so nice, confirming if I was taking anything to go and offering to sweeten the lemonade as it could be tart (considering it's homemade and fresh). The lemonade was not overly sweet, thanks! And the GF donut was surprisingly moist which can be hard with GF item at times. I'm a big fan of a blueberry cake donut so this was a great nod to the original. The brown butter donut will have to wait! Wish I had enough space to try all the items but that just means I have to come back. I'd like to also shout out the staff was so nice and inviting which made the experience even better. read more

Easy to find this cute shop on Tennyson Street which I always enjoy the shops on this street. We were greeted by a smiling friendly order taker/cashier at the counter who patiently answered our questions on the unique flavors of the donuts and drinks. I ate the fresh cafe con leche donut filled with cream and drank a refreshing hibiscus-lemonade cold tea. My partner chose a warm ham and cheese croissant and drank a hot black coffee. Loved the tasteful bright decor and despite plenty of customers, it was quiet. Several tables to sit and relax.There's 2 hour street parking which is always packed due to lots of other cute shops and restaurants. Did I mention I love this street? Thanks to Matt for the flavorful treat! read more

The coffee tastes great and I always take it black. The croissant was warm with ham and Asiago cheese filling. The Cafe con Leche was constructed from a light buttery pastry dough with a sweet creamy filling and sugar coating. Sweet, but not overly so. The order taker/cashier was pleasant, welcoming and offered suggestions based on his tastes which proved to be spot-on. Overall a pleasant experience. The atmosphere is simple, clean and trendy. The furniture is is simple and plain. The decor is equally trendy and creative. read more

So excited to try this place and it did not disappoint! Nice clean shop and very friendly folks at the counter. The donuts all looked really tasty and sizable, although I was a little surprised that the amount of selection available at the time (around 1pm) was a bit limited. Not sure if that was a staffing/supply issue or if they simply sold out because the ones we did get were super tasty! We did the Pistachio Cannoli, Cafe con Leche, and the Original Glazed! All of them were perfectly sweet and flavorful without being overpowering, fantastic texture, avoided that over-oily/greasy feel, and paired super well with the drinks! We did the Pistachio Butter Latte and the Blueberry Matcha. Both were excellent, well-balanced, and delicious! Special shoutout for the Pistachio Latte, it actually tasted like a latte first with hints and bits of pistachio second! I feel like too many places go too far down pistachio lane, but Salty Donut does it well here. They have nice merch too and the shirts felt like a nice thick quality! read more

First few visits were great! So great that this became a destination for us. The last couple visits, however, it looks like something has changed with the dough. Either the recipe has changed or they're making the donuts and donut holes (especially the chocolate cake ones) smaller. They didn't look as appealing and the flavor is just... missing something. Because of this and the fact that we don't live right near by, we'll be giving this place a rest for the time being. read more

The donuts are fantastic. I liked the old style stuffed bagels, they don't seem to have bagels any longer. I've previously ordered coffee and enjoyed it, however today I ordered ahead and when picking up my coffee, it had been sitting in the fridge for at least an hour. The way they prepare the coffee with a paper "seal" made the coffee leak alllll over my shirt! It was a mess. When I pay $7 for a coffee, I expect it to be made freshly. read more

Came on a Sunday night, they only had a few donuts left and most were sold out but what we tried did not disappoint at all. The service was amazing, super friendly and took the time to give wonderful recommendations. We ordered the pumpkin roll, pistachio cannoli, vegan apple crumbs and the gluten-free chocolate cup with sea salt. Every single one was delicious and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. The pistachio cannoli was hands down my favorite!! Definitely satisfied my sweet tooth and I am already looking forward to coming back during the day to try the flavors that were sold out! read more

I'd love to come back again soon and try some other goodies. Parking is rough but worth it! read more

OK, I love donuts and walking up to this little shop off of 39th and Tennyson smelled so wonderful of fresh donuts and fresh coffee. They have a walk up window for orders that were placed online, which is very cool. They actually had an open window where you could actually watch them doing their magic making donuts other other specialties. I was greeted immediately when I walked in the door, which I love stood in line a little bit longer than anticipated but that's OK it was worth the wait! So I ended up with one of the glazed donuts and then I purchased the French toast sticks as well. Both were super marvelous. I really enjoyed them. I will go back because it was a cute little spot very well designed and comfortable as far as seating is inside what I'd liked about this little spot also is that they sell shirts and bags with logo on it! If you're ever in the area, stop by and check them out you won't be disappointed. I wasn't.! Thanks For The Read Until Next Time.... read more

Delicious donuts with vegan and gluten free options, along with regular and specialty coffee. Located in the heart of Tennyson, the service was friendly and perfectly located in the walkable part of town. I've been to the salty donut down in Miami in a Wynwood, so this was a nice reminder of the delicious varieties the offer. The location was clear, modern, and love their cute illustrative packaging. read more

We came very late in the day and got basically whatever donuts were left, which included a Boston creme and one other flavor I can't remember. My hubs and I agreed that the glazed portion of the other one, was the best we've ever had and I would love to go back just for a plain glazed. Staff was nice. The space was rather sizable, light, and airy. Definitely recommend. read more

I was surprise this place has been open for a year and a half already--I never noticed it until I googled a desert spot near me and this spot is open late! Walked in on a Tuesday night around 7pm they only had a few options left for desert---nice place, great seating, would love to come back to try their other deserts since they were low in the evening time. read more

I first ate at the Salty Donut in Dallas and it was one of the only donuts I liked with filling (I am a glaze donut type of girl). When I found out they were opening one in Denver, I was so excited for it. I need to go to the physical location one of these days to see if the space is as cute as Bishop Arts location but sadly, I only their donuts through DoorDash. The donuts are very pretty. I had a normal glaze donut and the banana cream. I believe their flavors rotate but the banana was actually quite good and tasted like a banana pie. The cheese savory donuts would've been better had I thrown it in air fryer so the cheese melted a little. The matcha was pretty weak for me so I would suggest getting a different drink or coffee. Or get the donut here and get a matcha elsewhere. read more

We stopped in and tried a tiramisu donut and three donut hole varieties. The tiramisu donut was disappointing. It sounded like it was supposed to be filled with something, but was totally dry on the inside and lacked flavor - we did not feel it was a great value for the price.

Salty donuts? Whaaaat? I was not sure what to expect from a place called The Salty Donut but I'm glad I went against my initial reaction and tried it out. I had their traditional glazed donut and man it was delicious. The breading (not sure if that's the correct terminology) has a much nicer and chewier consistency than regular donuts. It turns out it is brioche. Very tasty. The donut was also not too sweet and was overall very good. I would be interested to check out their other donuts as well but at a minimum of $5/donut when factoring tax and tip, it does make me a bit hesitant. Last thing I would like to mention is that the store is absolutely beautiful so it would be a nice place to avoid any extreme temperatures and/or have a donut and a nice talk with company. I look forward to checking this place out again when I'm in the Tennyson area! read more

I've found my new favorite donut shop!! This place is small and has a limited menu as far as donut flavors- but there's a reason for that!! They're sooooo good. I met a friend and tried their maple and brown sugar cold brew. I don't usually opt for iced coffee or cold brew, but this just sounded good! And it really was! Perfect balance of strong coffee & sweetness. As for my donut, I got the classic the brown butter and salt cake donut. It's made with a slight vanilla flavor, and ohhhhh my gosh it was perfect. Sweet, salty, and hard to stop eating. Check this place out when you're on Tennyson! read more

It all started with Yelp Elite Week and quickly became my obsession. I have not loved a donut the way I love these donuts. I don't know what make them different other then they are just quality. I am completely ruined on others now. The Brown Butter + Salt will have you dreaming about it when you don't have one nearby. I also love that their menu changes and every single time they knock it out of the park. The added touch of a walk up window on Farmer's Market days is also lovely. read more

The Salty is the ultimate spot for a sweet treat and a coffee. Their website states they have "artesian donuts". I found the donuts to be thick, cake-like treats with unique fillings and frosting. I am not usually a donut gal, but I love these tasty treats! The Cookie Monster donut is a staple - you gotta try it this masterpiece filled with cookie dough frosting. In addition to donuts, they have sweet and savory pastries. I tried a strawberry frosted pop tart, and I'd imagine this exactly what a pop tart wants to be. The crust was superbly flaky and the icing tasted of real strawberries. I have had the egg and potato croissant roll and it is a nice savory way to start the day. They use intelligentsia coffee for coffee drinks, which is good quality. The flavored lattes are pretty sweet, but I find them to be balanced and drinkable. I love the large interior with lots of seating nooks. You could absolutely come here to work remote or to catch up with a friend. There are gluten free and vegan donuts but not both vegan AND gluten free. They offer alternative milk for non-dairy coffee drinks. You can order ahead online. They also have a walk up window if you want to order and not go inside, for example, if you are walking your dog on Tennyson, you can order without entering. Service is lovely - shoutout to Manda who helped us get exactly what we wanted! Overall, I love this place and I can't really find many negatives - except that I wish I lived closer! read more

Fantastic! The doughnuts are the perfect level of sweetness and crafted beautifully. Coffee was made well and super happy they had ceramic mugs versus places that give paper/plastic even if you are dining in.

If you liked more cake donut and different varieties than thìs place is for you. Thought it was an okay experience for me. Right in the heart of Tennyson so parking can be tricky. But the store is warm clean spacious and welcoming. A+ traditional glazed donuts. Unfortunately they don't have chocolate glazed brioche bun donuts. Only cake based. A. Banana cream donuts C. Cannoli pistachio. Too sweet for me. Overall I would go here for their traditional glazed and once in awhile brioche bun flavor but cake donut is just not my jam. They have a lot of varieties for cake donut though! read more

For being not the biggest sweets guy, I can get down with The Salty! The Florida-founded brand recently opened in Denver and they are taking the Tennyson area by storm. These are fancy donuts, I'd go as far to even call them artisan. They are sweet, filled and topped with unique ingredients, and made with lots of TLC. I'm sure some people will scoff at the sticker price and compare them to the big corporate names. But if you want to compare, these are works of art so don't be surprised when you order a dozen and it's more than $9.99. The store itself is beautiful. You can tell they put good money into the build out. They use Intelligentsia Coffee, which I used to drink a ton of back in the day. Full coffee bar/espresso machine is a nice touch, even though there are a ton of options within a stone's throw. Donut highlights for me include, in no particular order: Candied Pistachio & White Chocolate (#MindBlown), Pumpkin Pie Cake, and Apple Crisp. For the classics, the Traditional Glazed and Brown Butter & Salt are magical. If I'm gonna have a donut, I'm not going to places like Dunkin' or Krispy Kreme. I'd much prefer to give my business to a place like this. They should crush it on Tennyson and be a staple for a long time. Kudos, Salty! read more

I've been wanting to try The Salty for a while, and it did not disappoint! It definitely is more of a luxury/boutique donut shop, but the donuts live up to the hype. I tried the salted brown butter cake donut and it melted in my mouth.
