    Option of donuts
    Michelle A.

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a nice patio to hangout and people watch[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Pro move.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside you have a handful of seats but for this area of Tennyson/Berkley it's more of a grab and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You have the nearby park and obviously all the shops up and down the street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus what cute cups and boxes for donuts. It's a statement piece for sure. What a cute little donut logo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Merch!

    I am here for this donut shop! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Firstly, the ambiance is perfection. It's relaxing and inviting and clean- which is more than I can say for most donut shops.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their mood truly dictates the vibe of an establishment, and I just felt happy in here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    GF blueberry and maple
    Veronica B.

    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.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the tasteful bright decor and despite plenty of customers, it was quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Several tables to sit and relax.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]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!

    cafe con leche
    Robert D.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is simple, clean and trendy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The furniture is is simple and plain. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is equally trendy and creative.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Caf Con Leche, Pistachio Cannoli, Original Glazed!
    Zachary C.

    So excited to try this place and it did not disappoint! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice clean shop and very friendly folks at the counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    GF Chocolate Chip & Sea Salt, Pistachio Cannoli Donut, Pumpkin Roll, Vegan Apple Crumb
    Sammy T.

    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!

    Hibiscus & Lemonade
    Camille H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped in to this cute place to try out a treat and drink after work![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super busy location on Tennyson.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This area has such great vibes, and I'm sure I'd stop by much more if I lived in the area![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This donut shop is great, the staff here super friendly. I tried the hibiscus lemonade and it was so so good and refreshing! The salted brown butter cake donut so tasty! I'd love to come back again soon and try some other goodies. Parking is rough but worth it!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a walk up window for orders that were placed online, which is very cool. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They actually had an open window where you could actually watch them doing their magic making donuts other other specialties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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....

    Delicious donuts with vegan and gluten free options, along with regular and specialty coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in the heart of Tennyson, the service was friendly and perfectly located in the walkable part of town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location was clear, modern, and love their cute illustrative packaging.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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---[[HIGHLIGHT]]nice place, great seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], would love to come back to try their other deserts since they were low in the evening time.

    Matcha latte, Everything 'Cragel', Boston Cream
    Christine Y.

    I'm not a sweet tooth so I was excited to try their cragel. Next time I'll probably get it untoasted though. It comes with whipped cream cheese which is a chefs kiss. The matcha latte was refreshing with oat milk. And the Boston cream won me over even as a savory gal.

    After seeing this place on either the food network channel or travel channel at least a decade ago,…read moreI was beyond excited to give this place a try! I had my sights set on a voodoo doughnut! The building was absolutely gorgeous! It had chandeliers and was very pink! I'm not sure if that's how it has always been, but with a name like voodoo, I was picturing something more dark and mysterious! This gave off cumbl cookie vibes... don't get me wrong, it was clean and pretty, just not what I was expecting. The service was subpar at best. There was no one in here, so when we walked in, it seemed like an inconvenience to serve us. We wanted to looked at their rotating doughnuts to make a choice about a second doughnut but felt very rushed by the man behind the counter. We got the voodoo doughnut and dirt. The voodoo arms were a bit fried out but the icing and raspberry insides were very good! My boyfriend said his doughnut was pretty average. Overall this was a pretty average experience and I really wish they would have a less Barbie vibe and more dark mysterious vibe!

    Finding a cult classic like Voodoo Doughnut right in the middle of a layover is a game-changer for…read moreairport dining. Known for their irreverent style and neon-pink boxes, the Denver Airport location manages to keep the "Keep Weird" spirit alive. The Flavor Lineup: We dived into a curated selection of their signature yeast and cake doughnuts. Here is the breakdown: * The Voodoo Doll: The iconic signature. Beyond the playful aesthetics, the chocolate frosting is rich, and the raspberry jelly filling provides a sharp, tart contrast that cuts through the sweetness perfectly. * Banana Cream Pie: This was a standout. The filling is smooth without being overly synthetic, mimicking the comfort of a classic diner pie. It's a heavy hitter, so come hungry. * Mango Cream: A refreshing tropical twist. The mango flavor is bright and punchy--a nice departure from the more traditional chocolate-heavy options. * Strawberry Pop-Tart: This is pure nostalgia. The crunch of the crumbled pastry on top adds a fantastic textural element to the soft, pillowy dough. The Experience: The staff handles the high-volume airport rush with impressive speed, and the doughnuts tasted remarkably fresh--not "reheated" or stale, which can be a risk in transit hubs. While the line can look intimidating, it moves quickly, and the pink box is basically the ultimate status symbol at the gate.

The variety of toppings makes it fun to mix and match. The Thai Peanut was unique and surprisingly good, but the Mexican Chocolate was the clear favorite at the table. I had the avocado toast. The side salad was a standout -- spinach, small orange slices, and a berry vinaigrette. Super fresh, light, and refreshing. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and said it had great flavor with a nice kick of spice. Vegetarian options were clearly labeled, with a note to ask about vegan swaps. The service, unfortunately, didn't match the food. We waited at the door for at least 10 minutes without being acknowledged. After we were seated, our server started taking our order but stopped midway to run someone else's food. We also never got water refills, and with just one napkin each for donuts and a full meal, I found myself folding and refolding mine a million different ways. Overall, service felt slow and a bit disjointed, like we weren't a priority. If the service improved, this would easily be a go-to brunch spot.
