    The coffee was good and I liked the donut but I would say that the atmosphere is somewhat lackluster. It's definitely a place where you get your donut and go. In my opinion- It's not an inviting space. Nonetheless- the service is friendly and parking is validated.

    I come here so many times and the ambiance and service are always great. My go to is salted caramel latte w oat milk. Nobody does it better than them. The donuts are incredible too. Highly recommend.

    Finally got to try The Salty Donut. They do validate parking if you park in the parking garage. Beautiful, clean cafe and convenient if you want to get some work done while enjoying a treat. The lady was in the back when I walked in but that gave me time to look at their donut selection. When she came out from the back, I was immediately greeted. I chose the brown butter and salt donut, the strawberry shortcake donut and a cinnamon cereal milk latte. The strawberry shortcake was my fav! It was soo good and creamy! I love that they have a variety of donuts and even donut holes. I enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back.

    It's safe to say my tastes buds were more than satisfied at the Salty Donut. The young man behind the counter was very kind and patient, since it took awhile for us to order...they were so many delicious options it was so hard to choose! We finally landed on the tiramisu, mixed berry cheesecake, chocolate cake, and the brown sugar peach cobbler. I mean...it was all just so good and so fresh. I love tiramisu, but the chocolate cake is definitely a flavor I will order again. It was just the right amount of chocolate and glaze combined. It was super cute in there too, and they have outlets (always a plus for me) if you want to bring your laptop. We also ordered the vanilla bean latte with oat milk, which was tasty, I didn't have to add too much to it.

    The barista Austin was very inviting & warm when I came in. Space: Bright & airy with plenty of chargers. Quiet when I came in. People bring in non service dogs which isn't on the business but one of my eatery pet peeves I got : Oat milk vanilla bean iced latte, parmesan garlic roll, strawberry shortcake donut, and lemon ricotta donut. 3 pastries, coffee and tip came out to $26.83. The Strawberry Shortcake was dense, filled with a yummy strawberry cream. Lemon ricotta was filled with cream as well. Bright flavor. The parmesan garlic roll was by far my favorite. It reminded me of a cheesy pizza stick and was sooooo good warmed up. A mini verson of these would be fire. Parking next door is validated.

    Been wanting to try Salty for awhile. There was a girl working by herself on a slow Monday afternoon & she didn't really acknowledge my friend and I for awhile. I think she may have been new. She made drinks for awhile before helping us and also packaged a to go order. Not sure the order of service there, but it seems a little backwards. I went with a Cherry pie pop tart and a white chocolate chai donut. To drink I got the cinnamon cereal milk latte. The pop tart was delicious! Sweet outside, tart inside, and buttery crust. The donut was heavenly but a little too sweet with the additional chai cream on the inside. The cereal milk latte had good flavor but it was a little too thick for me in texture. I would go to another location to try more for sure!

    Amazing service , donuts delicious! I came all the way from Los Angeles for these yummy treats !

    Brown Butter Salt Donut
    Barrington F.

    Wow. This donut was super good. Don't be worried about the name, perfect combo of salt and sweet with a little extra salt. Everything seems so good but Bria (cashier) helped me make my decision. She was so sweet and personable and didn't make me feel bad about my cheat treat. It's a nice date first spot, pretty quiet, very clean, outside and inside seating with a view of the street. Definitely recommend, Definitely will be back.

    Strawberry & Cream with Cookie Monster

    I'm so happy that they brought The Salty Donut to West Midtown! Usually when I come in, it's pretty quiet. I would say there is consistent foot traffic that orders and takes out, but never a long line. I'm sure that will change eventually. I've been to the location in Buckhead a few times, but I really like this store better. Staff is always nice and attentive. During my most recent visit, I ordered the Vanilla Bean latte iced and shared two donuts with my hubby: Cookie Monster and Strawberries & Cream. The Strawberries & Cream is my favorite! It's light, fluffy, not too sweet, and full of flavor! I really hope they don't take this one off the menu anytime soon. The Cookie Monster wasn't bad, just not my cup of tea. I think for people who love cookie dough would like this one. Their drinks are ALWAYS on point. I may argue that at times, they outshine the donuts.

    Grand Opening Feb 2024

    Incredible donuts!! Came on opening weekend and was one of the first 50 people and received a cute tote bag. The entrance is at the bottom of the Star Metals apartment complex on the Brady Ave side. If you utilize the parking garage right next to the entrance, take your ticket and Salty Donut will validate parking for 1 hour. They have a ton of donut and coffee options to choose from. I have tried the brown butter salt and the chocolate glazed chocolate brioche donuts, and both are delicious! This is a great addition to West Midtown.

    Their grand opening is this coming Friday. All the staff was super nice. Street parking out from but they also validate the lot for an hour. There are a few tables inside. Their donuts are so good always! Excited for the opening.

    Deliciously imaginative and beautiful doughnuts. Limited indoor seating, mostly at a long bar facing the outside window.

    I love this place a lot. They have a very tasty menu. My favorite donut is the Maple Sea Salt but…read morethe bread pudding donut is dense and delicious. This location is in the Summerville area which is heavily changing. There's a new Publix across the street and many new things withing walking distance. They have an outdoor patio behind Pete's Hotdogs but also some cozy inside seating if you like the old hamburger shop with countertop service. Their burgers are worth noting as well as their breakfast sandwiches. They add a bit of their own flare with a pepper jam on their breakfast sandwiches, which if you're into putting jam on your breakfast biscuits, that might interest you a bit. I'm not big into that, and I still enjoy it. The burgers and chicken sandwiches are also using fresh buns with fresh ingredients which you can't really find a lot of places in the city making their own buns. Most will use Martins, which i'm not complaining about those, but to find a fresh made bun hamburger in these times is amazing. As I'm finishing up this review, I'm reminding myself I need to go here more often.

    They make HANDS DOWN the BEST sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich that I have EVER had the…read morepleasure of having! The sesame seed bun seems to be made from scratch, and is crusty on the outside and chewy and fluffy on the inside. The pork sausage patty is moist, tasty, and juicy without falling apart, and very well seasoned. The egg was fried to perfection, and although there was a bit of runny yolk, it was not so much that it soaked the bun or made the sandwich needlessly messy. The sweet and tangy Hero Pepper Jelly is the perfect foil to the fried egg, cheese, and sausage, and for lovers of all things sweet and salty (such as myself), it amplifies the flavors of this sandwich to the next level. AND I had this delivered by Uber Eats, and it arrived late, but it still tasted ridiculously yummy, so I can't even imagine how good their food is in person!
