Decent, probably more like 3.5 stars. Price was fine for me since I know LaMars sells a basic (sad) long john for $5. - Cheddar jalapeño cragel. I liked that the cream cheese was baked in. But personally I would not buy again since the dough was too sweet for me considering it's a savory pastry. - Strawberry shortcake doughnut. Too sweet, more like a dessert. Husband found a long dark hair tucked in the frosting, which is not ours since we have short hair. Not sure if they use hair nets in the back.. - Pistachio seasonal doughnut was my favorite. Just right sweetness. - Raised doughnuts were not really light and airy. Husband described them as dense. Not my preference but he enjoyed it. - Busy on a Sunday but the line went fast enough. Seating looked nice but was all full, so I would be prepared to take it to go. - Very cool to see a vegan option and a gluten free option that looked decent. read more

The Salty - Strawberry shortcake, pistachio, jalapeño cheddar cragel (croissant dough) - Donuts Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I was very excited to try The Salty. I saw a lot of praise online and decided to stop by on an early Saturday morning around 7:30. The building itself is in a beautiful location surrounded by many local small businesses and shops! The staff was friendly and quick to get my order out. The coffee was good, not watery very and a smooth flavor and over all a very nice latte. The brown butter and salt donut was my favorite of the two, but unfortunately the chocolate cake donut was a little too greasy for my liking. I understand donuts are literally fried dough, but there is a line. I'll have to come back to try another selection but overall, it was okay. read more

Incredible donuts! I popped in here one day as I was passing by and I got donuts for me and my husband because donuts are his favorite treat. I wasn't planning to get anything for myself, but when I saw the donuts, they looked so amazing that I couldn't pass them up! For him, I got an apple crisp cinnamon roll and for myself I got one of their Halloween donuts. It was called the Boo Berry and it was in the shape of a ghost. It had a berry glazed and berry filling with a hint of lemony flavor. Absolutely delicious! Not just the flavor of the donut, but the actually dough. It was perfectly pillowy! Husband loved his cinnamon roll, and that's saying a lot because he can be pretty picky! The customer service was also excellent. Very quick and since I hadn't been there before, the gal that helped me explained many of the different options and made suggestions for me. Highly highly recommend this spot for a tasty sweet treat that's not sickly sweet, but just right. Plus, a variety of flavors and donut types (cake donuts, filled, glazed, seasonal, etc.) at a decent price to choose from! read more

We walked in here on a Saturday morning around 10 AM. We had been here once before and the donut we had was amazing. We anticipated it would be busy on a Saturday and it was. The line was about five people deep and there were two employees. We were in the back of the line and the person in the front of the line did not have her order taken for about 10 minutes (or that's at least how long we waited, I never knew if she got her order taken or when ) I understand weekends are busy and I don't mind waiting, but the issue was that nobody was actively taking orders. We decided to leave and go to call her mother instead, where yes there was a line, but at least there was somebody taking orders. Not sure if somebody called out at the salty donut or if they normally only staff 2 employees who were both pretty busy on Saturday. Manager needs to come in and help out if that's the case and not leave 2 employees to struggle. These two young gentlemen were clearly busy and running around getting other peoples orders together who had already ordered read more

Visiting from Los Angeles I had to try some of the more hyped up dessert spots. Luckily The Salty didn't disappoint despite some of the online hoopla! Service was quick and friendly. The interior is well designed and with a nice view of the baking process. We ordered the brown butter and salt, candied pistachio, and the everything cragel with a maple/brown sugar cold brew. The brown sugar donuts is cake donut with a deep and rich nutty flavor you can only get using brown butter 4/5! The pistachio is airy but still has a medium dense chew to it and the icing gives it a nice sweet crunchy texture 4.5/5! The cragel is awesome for you savory lovers! Crispy, salty, great texture and with the cream cheese inside it's just convenient 4.7/5! I'm not a coffee guy but the cold brew was tasty and my wife loved it! Is it expensive? Yes. Do I think it's worth it? Yes! Once or twice a month is enough for me if I was local so I definitely recommend visiting! read more

The moment I took my first bite of the everything cragel my jaw dropped. The food is phenomenal and I love the diversity in donuts from different cake densities to flavors. My favorite was the white chocolate pistachio and the everything cragel but really can't go wrong. Went on a Sunday morning at 10:30am and the line moved quick and my order was also ready very quick! read more

This place is great! Anytime we're on Tennyson we end up finding ourselves here. So many varieties but have to get the brown butter & salt donut every time. read more

went in to order 5 donuts in an empty store and somehow it ended up taking 15 minuets. horrible customer service. donuts are fine.

How can I live a full life without my daily everything Cragel? Light, perfectly seasoned, crispy, flaky, and with a dunk of jalapeño cream cheese...OMG. Don't walk, run -- supersonic -- to The Salty. You'll thank me as I thanked those who recommended I visit. Approved! :) read more

Ik this place is literally called the salty donut-but my donut was WAY too salty. I got the brown butter donut -which I've had before when it first opened- and this time I could not finish it. Even my husband who eats everything wouldn't finish it. Hopefully it was a bad batch read more

The donuts here are absolutely crazy! The strawberry shortcake one is my favorite along with the pistachio. Their flavors are unique and fun. Will be back! read more

The texture and flavor of the Brown Butter & Salt donut is amazing. I also enjoyed their version of Cookies and Cream, with the added salt. The Strawberry Toaster Pastry was also great, nice and flaky crust with a rich, sweet and tart filling. But man, the Brown Butter & Salt, so decadent. read more

Very busy but the absolutely best donuts hands down! Long line but great/quick service. Delicious coffee!

Outstanding donuts and staff! Extremely clean and welcoming atmosphere. You can tell their products are crafted with care.

Great donuts at a decent price. Good coffee & service. Friendly staff. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Denver. read more

Saw this place all over Instagram and as someone who loved eating donuts in Chicago, I was very disappointed. The actual place was very cute. The worker didn't really greet us. Just got us our order and that was it, which was fine. The presentation of the donuts was incredible leaving us with high hopes. However, the actual donuts themselves were stale. I'm not sure if it was because we went so early in the morning but the flavor was not there and the donuts were hard. For 5 donuts we spent $24 not including tip. Very expensive and we did not eat the donuts. As of right now, I would not recommend this place or go back. read more

I wat in Denver over the weekend and craving donuts the last day we were in town. Everyone I was staying with was hungover, and I didn't feel like driving alone, so I had a delivery of donuts once I was up and moving. Upon receiving the delivery, the one savory item was missing. I called up after we cleaned the air bnb and was met with the kindest voice, immediately ready to help me. I decided the best option was to go in and grab my one item. When I got there, the building was gorgeous, the interior was a bakers dream, and the staff, including the person I talked to, were so sweet and efficient. They ended up giving me two of the savory item I was missing, and a box of 4 more donuts! It made the ride home even that much more enjoyable. These donuts are so good! I cannot complain about a single thing. From the way their made to displayed is absolute perfection. They nabbed a lifetime fan with me! I may not be in Denver often, but anyone I know traveling from St. Louis to there, will get the recommendation, and when I DO return, l be buying every donut in that case! read more

I've never been disappointed in a donut from The Salty! The white chocolate pistachio was my favorite but recently I had a banana cream pie-esque situation that might be even better. The texture of their donuts is unmatched, and NEVER greasy- I don't know how they do it. I always have to get an egg and potato croissant too- so flaky and tasty. The best part of a trip to The Salty is their staff! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, even when they're slammed. The general manager (I think? Def in a managerial position, should be their GM if they aren't already!) is a delight and clearly takes a lot of pride in their work, product, and employees. read more

5X the price and 1/5 the flavor. Most of the doughnuts were more like a frosted dinner roll. The fried maple doughnut was soggy with oil. Service was extremely slow, I'm not sure why the doughnuts are already made and sitting in the glass case. read more

Isaac is a donut connoisseur, trust that man with my life. When he makes a recommendation, the world listens. Dropping flavor profiles n charm like a bad habit. Pull up n pig out read more

A cinnamon roll and a french toast donut thing. $10. Not as enjoyable as Krispy Kremes. Plastic free packaging does not make up for the just-about-as-good-as-Safeway-donuts flavor. This place is walking distance and KK is at 104th Street, but I don't think these are worth the walk. read more

The donuts just honestly weren't very good. The regular glaze had a good flavor but not the best consistency. A little bit over priced but a cute shop! read more

Ambiance is good and food is better, has gender neutral restrooms and a chill area to hang out in the bakery to enjoy your food

Fun flavors and nice staff, try a latte made with the house made syrups. Cinnamon cereal milk syrup is a favorite.

As we entered the shop, my friends and I were greeted with welcoming eye contact and friendly smiles! The doughnuts were absolutely delicious, our favorite was the cragel with everything seasoning. To give a specific kudos, Nick went above and beyond for us! He hand delivered our food right to our table, had friendly conversation, and was very personable, thank you Nick you're the best !! read more

Excellent service and soft brioche donuts. The vibes are unmatched and the pastries are fresh whenever you go in

OMG! Such a yummy splurge! I had 1/2 doz delivered, so I can't comment on the service or ambiance, but the donuts are amazing! The Salty will definitely be a go-to for special occasions. read more

Tasty tasty pastries. Savory and sweet options. One of the better lattes I've had in the area as well.

Super disappointed. We've been seeing all the hype on instagram about these donuts. Came in around 2pm today and got 6 donuts. Not sure if it was the time we came in but our donuts were stale the coffees were amazing though. read more

Awesome donuts, friendly staff. I can't wait to come back for a cragel! Pumpkin pie cake donut is the best.

Love Love Love The Salty!! My new favorite coffee shop. Consistent, fresh, and their cutomer service is the best on Tennyson St.

If you like lots of glaze on a heavy donut, you'll love The Salty. Croissants were heavy, not light and flaky.

Incredible donuts!!! The store was super clean, and the service was EXCELLENT and smooth. Very busy when I visited, but the staff was doing a great job. Can't wait to come back and try more of their baked goods. The Cragel - holy moly. So good! read more
