I heard about The Salty while traveling through Texas and was glad that it happened to be within walking distance from the last AirBnB on my trip. I'm a fan of fancy donuts and this spot didn't disappoint. I got the Horchata, Brown Butter & Salt and the Cookie Monster. The Horchata and Cookie Monster were a brioche or yeast type of donut and the Brown Butter & Salt was a cake type. The Horchata was my favorite with a thick cinnamon cream flamed topping that captured the essence of the famous drink. It sat on top of a donut that had a soft inside that was soaked in horchata although I found most of the flavor to come from the cream. The bottom was coated with Valrhona Caramelia chocolate which added a delightful caramel element to the mix. The Cookie Monster donut was filled with whipped edible cookie dough that resembled a smooth cream. The flavor was accurate but I did find myself missing the grittiness of normal cookie dough. Interestingly the blue in the vanilla glaze was from a spirulina called blue majik so I guess you could claim this is a healthier donut. It gave the donut a great color and didn't alter the flavor of the vanilla glaze. The brown butter & salt donut was one of the better cake type donuts I've tried. It was lighter than others and had a great vanilla flavor that complimented the rich butter glaze and salty accents. This one I tried a bite of when it was fresh, but did not get to the rest of it until a few days later. It held up well and the taste was very similar to when it was fresh. Besides the donuts the atmosphere of the shop was excellent too. There were several seating options both inside and outside. Ceramic plates were available to use which you don't see very often in donut shops. I was able to use them to get some food photography done at the shop. Outside there was a shaded patio area complete with string lights and a fire pit. I definitely will be returning the next time I'm nearby!

The place easily could have been 5 stars. I loved the texture of the brioche donut and the strawberry flavor. The mascarpone whipped cream was a surprising savory flavor against the sweetness of the rest of the donut. My husband and I also really enjoyed our lattes, it had a wonderful coffee flavor without being bitter. It also had just the perfect amount of sweetness. The indoor space was beautiful and I loved all of the additional seating outdoors. The reason I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 stars was our interaction with their staff. The employee was just annoyed during our entire interaction. She also made me feel like I should have known what I wanted as soon as I walked in even though we had let her know right away we needed some extra time so she wasn't just standing at the register waiting.

We came back here in 2021 but I never reviewed it so I'll review today's visit in 2024. This is one fancy donut shop. Donuts are about $5 each. 2 of our kids got the chocolate glazed donuts and one got 6 assorted donut holes. One comment was, "Their donuts are too big." And another was, "The donuts are WAAAAAY too messy." My 2-cents, "The donuts are waaaaay too expensive for our taste. (I'm used to $1.50 Tim Horton's donuts.)" Nonetheless, the vibe is super chill. Love the laid back look. Not a ton of seating but options both inside and out. The service was fast and friendly.

So MANY fun flavors here. I got the Horchata doughnut. Big and messy, very sweet, but isn't that is kinda "doughnuts 101"? If I lived in the neighborhood, I would try one per week, until I got through most of the flavors, it was seriously hard to choose a flavor. The bathrooms were nice and clean.

The Salty These are the donuts that you dream about when you're sleeping. "Homer Simpson" could not refrain from eating here every morning, afternoon and evening It's good look through the window to see people inside making these beautiful treats. You know they are made with love and caring vibes Every time I go here I like to try a new one and also get my old favorites. If you are in the Bishops Arts District area or inside the Great State of Texas you owe it to yourself to locate this place and try them out.

Lovely shop with lots of natural lighting if you need to get some studying done. They have indoor and outdoor seating so you can bring a small group to share donuts and coffee together. I loved all of the donuts we got, but my fave is the salty cake donut. I'm not a big cake donut fan, but this was divine! Loved the sweet and savory balance and how delicious the donut still was the following day! Highly recommend coming! Kid friendly as well! There is a changing table in the bathroom. Parking is a little difficult. Street parking or parking in the back lot (but rarely available).

This place came highly recommended and I can see why! We came here in the middle of the day and had a hard time deciding on which donuts to get, so we got a few and had a couple of small bites each! We opted to get four, in order of our preference: *Horchata - I loved this, as I love anything with meringue! *Cinnamon Pear Crumble - this was basically like a warm apple pie, but with pear! Delicious! *Churro Dulce de leche - this was my friend's favorite. I really liked it too, and just love the texture and flavor! *Texas chocolate sheet cake - I don't like cake donuts, so that's probably why I didn't like this. Also, I got the cold brew and lemonade drink, and that was delicious! Such a weird, but great combination! I wish I could have tried more of their donuts, but what I did have was so good!

Oh my goodness. If I could rate this more stars I WOULD! The best munchkins I've ever had. The brioche glazed munchkins absolutely Melt in your mouth. They are beyond delicious. We got there around 3:30/4PM so hardly any donuts were left- so go early! (Even tho they close at 7PM) That being said we also got the chocolate dinosaur crumble donut. Hint of saltiness to balance out the sweetness. But an absolute treasure. Their donuts are so doughy and soft/chewy and fresh. Cannot wait to go back & this time go earlier to snag more flavors!!! Highly recommend & love that they are open past noon!
