    Standard size cold Matcha with very minimal sweetener, almond milk, natural sweetener and vanilla extract for taste

    I wish I would've remembered her name when she first introduced herself when she picked up the phone however their staff especially this woman best staff ever hands-down. Their donuts are awesome although I'm not that much of a donut eater plus I'm pretty plain and boring when it comes to donuts anyway, but they're much let me tell you something if you are a Matcha drinker and there is no Starbucks near you if that is your go to place please try the salty hot and cold matcha is really good it straight to the point it's not overly sweet like some places and it's not superduper grassy however, if you are into that then they can hook you up. However, the way that they put it together is the nice balance between the nutrients from the Matcha and the added sweetness, which is to your discretion. 10 out of 10 HIGHLY recommend.

    I've passed by this place a thousand times and had yet to stop in so since I had the day off, I decided to stop in. There's an open parking lot behind the restaurant to park and if you're a patron of the businesses, you don't have to pay. When I first walked in, I immediately smelled something sour. Not sure if it was the trash that needed to be taken out or what but it was a bit unpleasant. I know they specialize in specialty donuts but some locations do have regular glazed donuts which is what I was looking for. Unfortunately they didn't have any so I opted for a vegan neopolitan flavored donut with a vanilla bean latte. The coffee was better than the donut. It was actual pretty good. They make the syrup in house. But the donut was just tooo sweet for me. The service was good. Not sure if I'd be back though. Too many fruit flies for me.

    They all survived the trip home, shocking~!

    What a great little donut shop! They do have some parking around back and I was there on a weekend, so access wasn't super challenging. During the work week, might be trickier. Friendly staff and a fine selection of donuts. I ordered a half dozen plus some donut holes, and coffees to go. Only issue was the preparation of that order took longer than one might expect given it wasn't very crowded but I appreciate the individual care and attention to my order. I chose a variety of donuts and we enjoyed sampling them all. Don't pass over the brown butter and salt too quickly. Sounds simple but really delivers. The pumpkin swirl was also very nicely done, enough pumpkin to taste but not overdone. Donut holes were a tasty treat, oreo ones were delicious! Great to know about this treasure!~

    Apple crumb and pistachio cannoli

    If donuts could be an everyday food item, I'd come here every single day. The ambience is bright, welcoming, and surprisingly spacious -- there's a ton of seating, so you never feel cramped or rushed. It's the kind of place where you can linger with coffee, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy a quiet moment with something sweet. The food is the real standout. The apple crumb donut had a beautiful cinnamon layer right in the middle that made every bite taste like fall in the best way. And the pistachio cannoli donut? Absolutely incredible. The cannoli filling is so unique and delicious that I could honestly have five more of those right now. Service was great as well -- the staff were friendly, helpful, and patient while I stood there torn between approximately ten different flavors. Pricing felt totally fair for the quality, and the convenient location makes it even easier to justify future visits (and trust me, there would be many if I lived here long term). TLDR -- get the pistachio cannoli!!!

    I stopped by The Salty Donut in Buckhead and ended up being so pleasantly surprised. I got the Pop-Tart and honestly, I don't even like Pop-Tarts because they're usually way too sweet. But this one? SO fresh and perfectly balanced. Not too sweet at all. easily my favorite item there. I also grabbed a classic glazed (can never go wrong there), a maple cinnamon twist, and one of their seasonal pumpkin roll donut, which turned out to be my second favorite. The pumpkin flavor was cozy and not overpowering perfect for fall. Overall, everything tasted super fresh, and you can tell they put a lot of care into their flavors and textures. Definitely worth the hype, and I'll be back for that Pop-Tart for sure.

    Traditional Glazed Donut Vegan PB&J

    I stopped by tonight to grab a couple donuts and I was not disappointed :) I came around 8pm so they were out of a good bit of things but that's to be expected since it was toward the end of the day. I need to stop by in the morning sometime! The workers were very friendly and fun. The vibes were good. They seemed happy to be there. Maybe I should put in a job application! Lol I got the traditional glazed and the vegan PB&J. I really liked both of them. I feel like the PB&J could benefit from a stronger jelly flavor but it was still really good. The creamy peanut butter on the inside was great. The prices here are really good in my opinion! Two super large specialty donuts in the heart of Buckhead for around $10? That's a good deal to me. Parking might be a challenge sometimes but there is free parking around if you look for it (mostly parallel parking spots). Also, the Chops valet across the street is super cheap ($10 when I came by tonight). The shop was clean. I didn't use the bathroom so I can't comment on that. I'd happily come back here :)

    I love The Salty Donut! I've enjoyed it from locations in Georgia as well as Florida. Today, my fiancé and I stopped in to pick up donuts for some friends of his. We got a half dozen and chose: Samoa Cookie, Maple & Cinnamon Twist, Mixed Berry Cheesecake, Strawberry Shortcake, Traditional Glazed, and Chocolate Sheet Cake. Service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance leaned gourmet upscale donut shop. While we didn't eat these since we got them for other people, based on our experience with other flavors of theirs over the years, we are confident they are delicious as always!

    My favorite donut place! I literally love their donuts and it's my favorite cheat meal.

    Limited choices at the end of the day (6:45 on Sunday) but I picked a winner ! Pretty pink icing with peanut butter filling. Had enough self control to wait until I got home but didn't get the before bite pix.

    Salted Caramel Latte
    Jamaya P.

    After my initial experience, I was hesitant on coming back here, but I reached out to customer service and was able to try this place again. I am very happy with my order which was a brown butter salted doughnut and a salted caramel latte with oat milk I was able to get the coffee iced with no eyes which is not very common in a coffee place because they either give you less coffee or the coffee becomes diluted with ice. I was able to taste the donut and I absolutely love it and will be coming back for more. I ordered for pick up and the staff were very quick and friendly. I'm glad I gave this place. Another chance. My only issue was ordering on the app and it glitched and did not give me the option to do Apple Pay and when I was ready to check out, it gave me the option again other than that I will definitely be coming back to The Salty Donut when I want a treat on the way to work. I wish I had time to sit down and enjoy the ambience because it seems like a delight, a little place to eat despite of being a very small space.

    Samoa Cookie Donut
    Kaelyn C.

    Small inside area but large outdoor area to sit down and enjoy your doughnuts/coffee. Parking is available in the back, but is limited to 15 minutes. Barista was quick. Our doughnut was good and met our expectations. Almost $12 for an iced coffee and doughnut so a bit pricy but still what we expected to pay so not bad

    Seating
    Haley S.

    I've been so excited to come here after I tried the minis at a festival! I love the vibe of the restaurant. The seating option with the big table is really cute. They had great options and still had a lot of donuts at 2pm, it is quite pricey at $5 a donut, but that might just be what they are going for nowadays. Deliciousness tho! It is really really really worth a try!

You can gain entry by using the backdoor garage entry or the entry near their patio area. Unfortunately, when I visited it was pouring and I didn't realize that the former was possible, leaving me to fight the rain once I found the patio entry. Foxtail is not a huge space but they offer a number of slim tables, barstools and two different seating areas with big, comfy chairs. It was easy to grab a seat, even with an 11am rush. There only 2-3 team members working, but they were all very nice and so patient as I stared at the menu with indecisiveness. The menu offered a variety of teas and coffees, along with a display of pastries and a number of sandwich options. After seeing that they served banana matcha, I had to see if I could add banana flavor to my latte - I could! So I started with a banana latte with oat milk + a ham, cheese and egg croissant. My latte was so delicious, I went back for a 2nd cup not too long after. My croissant was delicious as well. This is really a great place to do some remote work or to conduct meetings. The wifi was easy to connect to and I was able to get so much work done in the peaceful coffee shop as the rain poured down outside. Definitely a nice cafe to spend a day at!
