Crowded spot because it’s delicious! Any time a head boss is coming into the office, we order from here and it quite literally sweetens them up! Works like a charm! 😋😉

I just had to come on here let y’all know about the amazing experience we had on Thursday! It was our first time in, and the customer service was picture perfect. Whoever was working around 11-12pm was SO kind, I’m so sorry I can’t remember their name. They must’ve answered a bazillion questions and were so so amazing. Def will be going back because the donuts were fantastic as well!

The Brown Butter donut is cakey and decadent. 👌🏾 The bits of salt on some of the donuts brought out some great flavour. Everyone enjoyed their drinks, they were all well made. The baristas were also very friendly, and offered some recommendations to us on other coffee in town they like when I asked. I love the selection of donuts. There is a mix of bold and sugary, and more dough forward and subtle cream topping as well. For example I found the Horchata donut way too sugary for me, but the Churros and plain glazed were more to my taste. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable. There's a self serve water tap and glasses to stay hydrated and cleanse the palette from the decadence. The staff is friendly. Good vibes ☀️

The Salty Donut, located near South Congress, is a calm and cozy spot away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip. 🍩 They offer creative, delicious donuts and great coffee. With comfy seating and a peaceful vibe, it’s perfect for relaxing while still being just steps away from the lively South Congress area.

There is parking! Hurrah. There are a few limited spots in front of the store and additional little lot in the back for parking. There is also access to street parking close by. This is a big store location! They have all the donuts. I went here specifically for a limited edition and they still had them available (it was bubble gum) in the evening (around 5PM). Though I didn't love the limited edition flavor the donut itself was amazingly fresh and delicious. I love how creative and flavorful all the donuts are at The Salty and can't wait to try anything new they come up with.

Came for my birthday with my partner for the first time. Got 4 different doughnuts; the key lime mini is delicious—the second your lips hit it you taste lime. I believe the crust on the bottom is graham cracker. Probably my favorite. Then the mixed berry has a lovely cream filling and a crust on the bottom—not too sweet and you get some tartness from the berry. We also had the churro, which is star shaped and (I think) has Dulce de leche cream. And finally the horchata doughnut and that was flavorful and the whipped cream on top is very light and airy. I really loved the texture of all these doughnuts and nothing was overly sweet. Jalapeño and cheese kolaches were really great, the bread is chefs kiss and the sausage isn’t too greasy. Hibiscus/lemonade is pretty yummy and the matcha latte is sooooo good. Staff was friendly, will definitely go back!

No matter where you are staying in the Austin area please make a trip to the salty donut. We were staying at the line hotel and it was about a 30 minute walk down Congress. Even though it was June in Texas heat, it was worth the walk. This is literally the best donut I have ever eaten. My son got two churro donuts for his birthday. My other kid, the picky kid, just got a regular glazed donut. I indulge in a cheesecake donut and it was magnificent. There's also a gourmet coffee stand. Super cute café fun vibe, just on the edge of town. I promise if you have donuts, this will be worth every minute of your trip.

These donuts are really tasty and they have some creative flavors. I've never had a bad experience here. The drinks are also really good. It's on South Congress, so it's a bit of a hassle with the parking, but it's totally worth it. It's a great place to bring your friends and explore the area.

We had a short weekend trip to Austin and I am glad we made a stop at Salty Donut. We tried a pistachio cannoli donut and loved it. So I bought four more to bring back to Chicago with us. The donut is fluffy with just the right about of filling, chocolate, and crushed pistachio. We had a big breakfast prior to stopping by. If we had the capacity, we would have also liked to try the yuzu and matcha donut. I also wanted get the jalapeno and sausage and Terry Black brisket kolaches to go but neither was available for the day.

The salty donut is an cute and chic shop offering a unique variety of donuts, coffees and cafe items. Their traditional glazed donut is the best, in my opinion, but still a little heavy. The other donuts are rather dense but there is not anything that particularly stands out about them. That said, it was great to stop in and try. Customer service is relatively average. I also ordered an iced matcha latte which was rather lack luster in terms of matcha quality. I would go back again to sit and chat or study while grabbing a small treat— but wouldn’t call them the best donuts the area has to offer.

Went around 11am on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded, still a few seats open but it got crowded shortly after. The donut itself was more like a sweet bread than your traditional donut, you can tell by the photos. I would've labeled it as a bun with a nice filling and topping. I got the horchata and the banana cookie butter creme, which is seasonal and it tasted like mashed banana on the inside. Definitely authentic and natural ingredients, but there was nothing special about it. The topping for the horchata donut was very sweet and marshmallowy and looked beautiful with the torched /bruleed top, but I also didn't find anything special about the flavor and it felt overly sweet at the end. They are around $5 per donut, so its a bit pricy. I think the draw is the nice environment and the special and fun flavors. The service was okay. I'm glad I tried it but probably won't be coming back.

I was coming here to have breakfast with my daughter and we were so exited to try this donut place. When we came in and we saw the intricate donuts we got more exited so we waited and ordered a pistacho cannoli, the star churo dulce de leche, and an iced matcha latte after we ordered me and my daughter saw they didn't have much variety they, also they only had 3 salty options which is ironic because they are called the Salty Donut . The service wasn't nothing speacial just your normal hi what would you like and that's it. Upon receiving at the donuts we were impressed but when we tried them they were good but they were just missing something about a good donut, then my daughter and I were disappointed by the quality, flavor and price of the matcha as we are matcha lovers. After this vist my daughter and I will probably not come again when we can go to a place like voodoo donuts or other donut places that taste way better, are more economical, and have better quality.

Was in austin for a quick trip and decided to stop in as the donuts looked good on photo. Man could I have been wrong . Let's start the cashier was not very helpful when asked a question about the menu, she just pointed at the display and this is what we sell. Im like ok ordered 4 items and they were not good. The donuts were hard as a rock and cold . The terry blacks brisket kolachi was terrible , meat looked like paste and had no flavor. Id be embarrassed to have my name associated with that trash. The jalapeño kolachi was ok but after them trash donuts and TB kolachi there was no saving them. Spent 22 bucks on 4 items not the end of the world but , I would rather went else where , will not be back .

My sister had this before so she was so excited because of how delicious it was. But we were both disappointed due to the fact the donuts tasted old and had not much flavor to it. We were extremely disappointed because it was a Saturday evening so it was busy. I would not recommend this !!!!
