Almond latte
Jannet C.

This place has such unique and amazing coffee and donuts that we came here twice during our short trip to Orlando! I got the Coconut Cloud Coffee, made with their house-made blue coconut syrup, coconut cold foam, and espresso. It was such a creamy, refreshing treat! We also tried the Coquito Donut, which was soft and light with crunchy cinnamon icing on the bottom and topped with fluffy, torched coconut meringue. We also got the Creamsicle Donut and a savory ham and cheese croissant -- everything tasted amazing! We enjoyed a hot almond milk latte as well, and it was delicious. The place itself is clean, cozy, and inviting, with plenty of seating to sit down and enjoy your coffee and donuts. I even saw people working on their laptops while enjoying their treats. The counter staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I just wish I lived closer so I could enjoy their unique coffee and donut creations more often! Definitely a spot I'd visit again whenever I'm in Orlando.

The donuts are delicate and dessert like. I got the cookies and cream. Good for choc lovers and very soft smooth in the inside. Frosting wasn't too much which I liked. I got the vanilla bean latte with it and didn't get to finish. They make it on the sweeter side imo so I asked if they could remake it w half the sweetness. Nice spot to come w a friend.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 This is our 2nd time here and the donuts were fresh and tasty both times! We got the key lime, peach cobbler, and butterbeer donuts with an iced coconut and vanilla cloud latte. The donuts are not too sweet despite the meringue and cream they have and the donut parts were soft. Loved the key lime but they were each rich in flavor. The service was great both times, the employees at the cash register are patient with everyone and offer great recommendations. The barista followed up to make sure the drinks were satisfactory. The coffee packs a punch! Ambiance is modern with ample seating. Highly recommend Salty Donut, it's one of the better donut spots in the area!

One of my favorite morning spots , this cute donut shop off Corrine is perfect for a quick bite , remote work space or social gathering. I ordered a Brown sugar oatmilk cold brew , bacon,egg and cheese croissant and a cafe con leche donut for later to enjoy. I love the outdoor seating space as it's covered with a beautiful outdoor ambiance to relax the mind.

I come here rarely, the doughnuts are really good but too indulgent in my opinion. They are overly sweet, but have very unique and expressive flavor profiles. The prices are really high as well, but these are artisan desserts. Service is really nice, everyone is friendly and I love having my chit chats as I wait. And it's kindve a vibe in there, it's also a coffee shop so the seating is really nice and they host events at times. The doughnuts 6/10 The vibe 8/10

Guava & Cheese

The food here is always great and the guava cheese donut is to die for! Everyone is always helpful when it comes to questions about the menu. I got a match I wasn't fully happy with and they gladly switched it out for a coffee!

This location needs help. I placed an online order for pickup the next morning, knowing that I will have a busy work day. When I arrived at the pick up window, I was told my order wasn't ready and to come in and they will make it. No problem. When I got on I thought she would make my order, but she ended up forgetting and making a slew of orders. I could see they were having a lot of issues. A lot of people didnt get their full orders and the staff seemed untrained. I decided to just have them cancel my order and return my money. But it seems like the person up front didn't know how to do that. It was all just a hot mess and knew they would just forget. I ended up leaving and reaching out to the main office/email and they were able to refund my money. Came here a second time and it was still.chaotix so we just ended up leaving.

A Award Winning Neighborhood Staple That Continues to Evolve The Salty Donut in Audubon Park remains a reliable favorite, balancing indulgence with thoughtful execution in a neighborhood that appreciates both creativity and consistency. One of the most notable evolutions is their limited, but available, vegan and gluten free offering. Years ago, this wasn't part of the menu, and it's refreshing to see how intentionally it's been developed. I ordered the vegan Neapolitan, and the texture and flavor were indistinguishable from their classic donuts; soft, balanced, and satisfyingly rich without being cloying. It doesn't feel like a compromise or an afterthought, which says a lot. On a cooler day, their hot Brown Sugar Chai Latte with oat milk was a standout. Warm, well-spiced, and comforting, with a surprisingly good foam for oat milk; something that's harder to pull off than it looks. It paired beautifully with the donut and felt thoughtfully crafted rather than rushed. The Audubon Park location has a casual, neighborhood energy. It's the kind of place locals stop into mid-morning or midday, whether for a quick treat or a relaxed coffee break. Parking on Corrine Drive can be tight, but that's part of the area's charm and worth planning for. Overall, The Salty Donut continues to deliver on quality while adapting to changing tastes and dietary needs. Whether you're a longtime fan or visiting for the first time, it's a spot that consistently earns its reputation and keeps everyone coming back.

I had to stop by The Salty Donut while I was in the area. The last time I visited was during the holidays, and I remember loving their seasonal selection. This visit, though, I think I found my new favorite, the Brown Butter + Salt cake donut. It literally melted in my mouth, and the flavor combination was so good that I was thinking about it long after I left. They also have a great coffee selection if you're looking to pair your donut with a drink. One thing I really enjoy about this location is the laid-back atmosphere. The outdoor seating area is such a nice place to sit and enjoy your coffee and donut, especially once the Florida fall weather starts to cool down. I'll definitely be back to see what seasonal flavors they come up with next, I just wish I lived closer! Another amazing thing they have is their order pick-up window.

Donuts are always fresh. Nice vibe, especially on a Sunday. They have great selection of donuts. My favorite is the butter beer. Melts in your mouth and very tasty. Servers are always friendly

One dozen amazing premium donuts
Rachel E.

I cannot express enough how wonderful this shop is. The donuts are amazing. Each one is a little carefully curated flavor adventure. The banoffee is my favorite by miles, but who could resist a banana cream, toffee drizzle and graham cracker crumble enrobing a truly luscious donut?!?! Besides the amazing baked goods and coffee it is worth noting that this space has its own parking lot, has outdoor seating on Corrine, a rarity, and is incredibly clean and organized always. They are kid friendly and super efficient. All of that is great, what really sets them apart (besides banoffee) is the staff. I am blown away every time I go in here by how kind, well informed, and gracious the staff is. They make time to talk to my kids, make sure we are happy with our order, and are all around a pleasure to interact with.

Guava and Cheese
Angel C.

This is such a welcoming establishment well lit and clean and all the employees seemed to be in a good mood and happy to help. The lady out on the register who's name I forgot :( sounded proud to work there and was very knowledgeable. We had The Coquito donut and the guava and cheese donut. They were sweet art, beautiful looking and delicious. The coquito one was creamy and smooth and had a slight crunch that contrasted with the soft sweet swirl at the top. The guava and cheese was one of the best donuts I have had in a long time! The inside was a perfect mix of guava and cheese with a sweet tangy aromatic accent but with the saltines of the cheese the glaze on the outside was very silky and it had this little pastry squares on top that added a nice crunch to it. The cold coquito late was sweet and refreshing with a nice cinnamon finish. The mocha late was ok not bad but nothing to write home about. Next time will try something different. They have really cool merch for sale and some new offerings for breakfast that I look forward to trying in the future. All in all a great experience a new place to go for a sweet treat and an early start. i must admit when we were getting ready to leave we ended up walking bad and getting some donuts for the fam at home. ごちそうさまでした

What kind of oil are the donuts fried in?

Hi Mike! Thanks for reaching out here! We fry our donuts using Palm Oil. Please let me know if you have any other questions and we'd be happy to help.

We ordered the Smoked Belly Banh Mi, pit sampler (brisket, pulled pork, pork belly), and a side of brussel sprouts and fries. All the meats were tender and flavorful, I enjoyed the pork belly the most while my husband enjoyed the brisket.

A formidable display of deliciousness that will make your day better from the very start. Service is equally as formidable. There are always a ton of people in line, but they serve their way through them very quickly and efficiently. Very nice folks, and they always seem to have everything in stock. The donuts themselves are the best part. Soft, airy, topped with the perfect amount of toppings, filled with the perfect amount of fillings, and there are a few truly unique offerings that are very intriguing. You just can't go wrong. Overall, other gourmet offerings are out there, and they're pretty good, too, but Donut King is my original, and quite frankly, if I'm driving out to the coast for a long day of birding, I would pick the King over any of those other places anyway,

Some of the other cafed I've been to with a similar concept are clumsy, bad at fulfilling orders, and overly pushy with tips and up selling. Bakery 1908 gave me what I wanted, how I wanted it, as I wanted one. Actually, the missing star is because of the actual quality of the bakery. It may be because of the time of the day (they had a buy two get one free offer), but their desserts lacked some filling/flavor. Nothing that accompanying them with a good drink wouldn't solve. I will give them many more tries, as they became my favorite of the bunch.

Parking wasn't an issue either. As I walked in, I was greeted by who seemed to be the owner and a young woman. Very nice, lovely staff. Everyone was so sweet. My only issue was that they didn't have a good portion of their menu ready and it's mostly because they didn't have the gravy for their dishes. The ones we wanted came with gravy and the staff let us know they were behind on making it. So we pivoted and tried their prime rib smash burger but unfortunately that felt a little disappointing. For the price that it was, you'd think that you'd get a decently portioned burger or some sides with it but it was super tiny. And the bun felt like grocery bread, the type you can get for a home bbq. It was still delicious but rather disappointing at the same time. We ended up having to order a third dish just to feel satisfied and at least it was very good. The bowls are worth it, maybe not the burger but the bowls for sure! I also snagged up a donut and truthfully that is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Another downside to this spot and why I didn't give it a 4 star is because how slow the service was. We watched a whole family get up and leave because it was taking so long, I actually felt bad for the staff and owner. The place has great tasting food, just needs a little shaping up. Maybe someone who can run the kitchen as a head chef. Overall, I still recommend the place but just know that you'll be waiting a while and some things may not be available.
