I love hosting with The Salty Donut! The staff is so lovely, kind, and are always prepared for us. I typically host 10-12 people in their back room. They even give us music control to set the mood! The food and drinks are great and they often run promotions. This is a lovely business that deserves all the love. read more

I visited yesterday and ordered a matcha and a donut. Shortly after placing my order, I realized I wanted to change the drink. I communicated this change very quickly to the staff member before she had begun preparing the beverage. Moreover, the new drink I requested actually cost the same as the one I originally purchased. Although she agreed to make the new drink, her body language and facial expression made it clear that she was annoyed by the request. When the drink was finished, it was noticeably underfilled, leaving a surprisingly large gap between the liquid and the lid. Unfortunately, the taste of the drink itself was also disappointing, as it mostly just tasted like milk rather than matcha. Finally, I was disappointed with the value for the price. The donut I ordered was quite small, yet it cost around five dollars. I understand that people have hard days, and I typically do not write reviews, but I wanted to share this feedback so these issues can be addressed internally. read more

I may need to do some research on parking. So hard to find it! Managed a spot close by. Very nice covered outdoor area with tables. Nice variety of donuts and some savory options too. Cafe con leche was moist and just sweet enough. Brown butter &salt cake was very good! Key lime was good. Not tart. Texas sheet cake was dry. Maybe just a bad day? Cappuccino was great! Employee was knowledgeable and helpful. read more

The Salty Donut - Options of the day. - Donuts Near Me - Dallas, Texas

HARD NO!! I planned a trip to this location today hoping to re-experience the donut bliss I remember when a coworker brought Salty Donut into the office one day. No bliss! Instead, I walked into white plastic buckets on the floor catching water dripping from the ceiling and an INFESTATION of KNATS comfortably enjoying their own donut bliss all over the donuts in the (uncovered) purchase case display. When I grimaced and pointed the gnats out to the store cashier (who had just greeted me as if nothing was wrong), she smiled (?) and responded "Oh ya, it's only temporary, we have a pipe issue." Stunned by her words, I asked for clarification, "The gnats are only temporary?" With a smile on her face again, she answered, "Yes." I then asserted with ultimate confusion, "So I'm supposed to buy donuts with 'temporary' gnats on them?" She smiled again. When I immediately asked if there were any donuts in the back that did not have gnats on them, she said no. I looked at her with a confused look and told her, "Well no thank you, I don't want to buy any donuts with gnats on them," and began to walk out of the store. As I left, she said, "Ok, have a nice day!" Ummmmm what the heck?!?!? I called my husband and he was appalled!! This is completely unsafe and unacceptable for this restaurant to be selling gnat-infested donuts to consumers. We immediately made the decision to alert the Health Department. When we called, we were told someone else had already called in with our very complaint and that we could not duplicate the complaint but I sure wish we could have! I hope Salty Donut immediately ceases with their decision to sell their gnat-infested donuts at this location and stop putting the public at risk just because they have a pipe issue. Please be better than that, have integrity. read more

To start - I like this location in the spring/fall because of the outdoors seating. The way the sun shimmers through the leaves creates a gorgeous afternoon vibe. The bathroom is clean and the self serving water is aplenty. Now for the food - Brisket kolache is great, I will always get this again. Horchata donut has a layer of cream inside which I like. It's more yeast like, which I prefer in a donut. New banana coffee donut was interesting, I really liked the crumby part outside but wish the coffee flavor stood out more. Vanilla drink with whole milk - the vanilla shots were strong and should've done oat milk instead. That would make it taste much better Overall, great experience and love the new flavors they experiment with! My thoughts - in the more yeasty-donuts, add a layer of filling inside! read more

I came in the middle of the day so it was pretty empty and the donuts weren't super fresh, but that's on me for the time I came. The pistachio butter latte is one of the best pistachio latte's that I've tried, wow 12/10 so good! As for the donuts, the churro was super good and I really like the cream cheese filling 8/10. The horchata donut was pretty mid, the topping overpowered the donut and is really messy to eat 5/10. I would come back for the latte alone! read more

We stopped by here late one evening after hearing so much hype about the Salty Donut. Although we only tried one donut (classic glazed), we were blown away by how good it was. The flavor and density were perfect and it is for sure one of the best donuts in the area. I would absolutely come back here and would love to try more of their offerings. read more

The Salty is hands down one of my favorite donut spots. The vibe is always on point, the service is friendly, and the donuts? Absolutely delicious. Every time I stop by, I leave happy--it's just that kind of place. I love the variety and how fresh everything tastes, and it feels like they put real care into what they do. This is definitely a spot I'll always come back to. read more

I came to this place on my birthday to kick the day off with a sweet treat. The premise behind this place sounds so promising. I really appreciate novelty and creativity when it comes to something as simple as donuts. There was a lot of excitement in coming to check out this place. Upon entry, I was pleasantly surprised by the clean industrial new space I proceeded to make my way to the counter to pick up an order. I sat down with my Horchata donut and Boston cream donut. I tried the Boston cream doughnut first. It was OK. I didn't quite care for their Bavarian or their chocolate frosting. Bavarian was missing vanilla and sweetness. Chocolate flavor was muted. Because they made their Horchata donut with meringue, the sulfur smell of the egg whites was stinky. They should've gone with whipped cream, which is less stable, but more delicious with no sulfur compounds. If something doesn't smell good it won't taste good either. No Horchata flavor and not enough sweetness. It was dry too despite having meringue. It seems like they were trying to mimic a Tres leches with using meringue. What made the experience come to an abrupt unpleasant end was that there was a light brown curly hair in the Horchata donut that I had only discovered after taking one bite from the horchata donut. Of course it was gross. I'm attaching a photo of the donut with the hair in it. I reported it to the staff, and they said that they would issue a refund for the donut that had the hair in it. To think how many people handled that donut before it made its way to the dining area also feels like a lack of checks and balances. No staff member saw the donut with a hair on it -- even while boxing it in their hand --on a to go order? Not the baker. Not retail staff. No one. This is one of those things that should be preventable -- which shows there is gaps in how employees handle their hair control in the context of preparing the donuts. It absolutely sucked that their collective carelessness leaked through to the customer experience and product. read more

My boyfriend and I asked the front cashier about how fresh their donuts get made and she replied that they get made at 7 AM. My boyfriend loves fresh donuts (like coming out of the fryer fresh) and it was probably in the afternoon when we got there. She wasn't the nicest to us honestly after we asked that question and the interaction felt very off so we left. As we left, we heard her complain about us to her coworker and for it being unreasonable to make them fresh... I don't know it left a bad taste in my mouth, so we will likely just go try at a different location earlier in the morning. I will say it's located in a really nice part in Bishop Arts and somewhat tucked away in an alley. Super prettily decorated and clean location. I've heard lots of nice things about this local chain, but it's just the vibes from her reply and her gossiping before we even left the establishment that really got to me. read more

Came here and ordered a matcha but they were out of low fat milk. I tried to order the elote chicken salad and they said the menu changed today's before and they didn't have. The only items they had were donut and coffee drinks. Better way of updating the menu and communicating sold out items. Donuts were dry. read more

Very good donuts! I was impressed. My friend first tried the Salty Donut in Miami and has been a big fan ever since. My only regret is not trying the traditional glazed to get the experience of how their classic donut is. I got the peach cobbler donut and the mixed berry cheesecake donut. Both were great. Will be back! read more

The Salty Donut is hands down one of my favorite donut places to go to in Dallas. You can't tell me otherwise! Located in the Bishop Arts District, this donut shop provides a modern look with some of the best delicious one-of-a-kind donuts that you will ever try. Let's break down the food that I had there shall we? Horchata Donut - probably one of the best I've ever had, very flavorful and delicious! Traditional Glazed - can't go wrong with a classic, moist and wonderful to eat! Terry Blacks BBQ Brisket and Cheddar Kolache - wowee what a partnership and it was so delicious! Vanilla Bean Latte - great flavor, lover of lattes, gotta grab a coffee, what a great choice to complement! Main things to be aware of: the parking, gotta find it somewhere else close by and you'll be good to go. read more

Such a cute place! I was on my way for a hair cut and had time to spare. I thought "oh a doughnut and a coffee would hold me over!" Then I was like "???" I thought "this is pretty pricey for a doughnut." I got to the counter and I realize one doughnut could probably feed about 4 people LOL these are CAKES made to look like a doughnut!!! Each one is topped with something amazing. Such care into one doughnut. I decided against the calories (this time) but their jalapeño sausage brioche thing was AMAZING. Not too heavy and the sausage wasn't overly salty/greasy I'll keep the size of the doughnuts in mind next time x read more

I had such a great experience here! The cashier/barista was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better. The patio is really nice with a breeze and a relaxing vibe that makes it perfect for hanging out. I tried the cookie donut, and it was amazing. I also ordered a hojicha latte, which is similar to matcha but lighter and more earthy, and it was absolutely delicious. Overall, I'm a big fan and will definitely be back! read more

The donuts were good, but dare a say a little too thick? You'll need to have a pretty big mouth to bite into their donuts, and don't get me wrong they're good but just enough to satisfy a donut craving. I did like that they were overpoweringly sweet like some donuts can be. The chocolate cake donut was a little dry, the horchata was good, but not anything too special and didn't make sense to me because it lacked cinnamon, and the glazed donut was good for what it was... a simple glazed donut. read more

Strolling through Bishop Arts and wanted some coffee. I found this on my Apple Maps and decided to give it a try for my first time. I didn't end up getting coffee, got chai instead and it was decent. The donuts were def looks though, apple flavor was tarty and the dulce wasn't too sweet. Service was great, very patient with us for our first time. Plenty of seatings indoor and outdoor, I love their outdoor space. read more

Worse service ever. Came in on the new year day... Ordered what was in the window and idk what they were doing.. and they said it was unavailable. Basically the two donuts that was in the window and last one left .. was gone when I was the one ordering. Then they didn't scan my loyalty card after I asked and said it was too late. Will not be coming back again even though I like this place. read more

While waiting for our reservation time at another spot we walked around Bishop Arts for a bit and ended up at this place. The customer service was great. I wish I could remember the name of the person who helped us. They were friendly and answered all of our questions. I was trying to decide between the Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake Donut and the Brown Butter & Salt Cake Donut. Tough choices for a person who loves chocolate and brown butter. I decided on the Brown Butter & Salt Cake Donut, and I'm still thinking about it a week later. read more

I don't usually like donuts, but I love(d) The Salty. Their doughnuts were always the exception, especially the original glazed donut. However, since the recent recipe changes, the glazed donuts have been less fluffy and light and at times the glaze is tacky vs the smooth flaky coating of yesteryear. This review is NOT a reflection of the team. They are always so kind and understanding whenever I ask "are the glazed donuts soft today?" With Salty's menu expansion, I was hesitant to show excitement; how can a restaurant be good at "everything" on their menu after adding more items. I never expected the classic menu items to be included in the "everything" that missed the mark. Needless to say, I'm a little more than salty that I can no longer enjoy the classic glazed donut as a treat. read more

Cute little specialty donut shop. Service was good and lines moved very quickly. The 3 star review is because the donuts are way way too sweet I we couldn't eat but a third of each one. Also 4 donuts and 3 coffee's $75 that seems a bit steep and our coffee was barely warm when I asked for extra hot and asked them to already to make them hotter they were still just warm a second time around not to mention didn't taste very well. read more

I ordered: Chocolate cake donut - So pillowy soft and fluffy for a cake donut, melts in your mouth, super chocolaty but not too rich, not an overkill. Probably my favorite donut. Samoa - Very good flavor. Sticky caramel with Coconut and Chocolate. A very good make of a Samoa cookie in donut form. The chocolate on the bottom was a nice surprise. Strawberry Pop Tart - Probably one of my favorite bakery pop tarts I've tried. Super fresh and flaky pie crust with delicious strawberry filling. Cookie Butter Banana Cream Pie - Very heavy and dense donut, pillowy soft with lots of cream filling. This was my least favorite and I thought it would be my favorite because I love anything banana. I didn't taste any banana flavor at all. It's a very fall tasting donut - it almost tasted like pumpkin pie. Very warm flavors with spice. The Salty is one of my favorite donut shops. Their donuts are always fresh and the flavors are always something fun. It definitely feels like a luxury picking up a box of Salty. The staff was friendly and the store was really clean. read more

Mmm..I'll try the other location next time. What I got: Candied pistachio white chocolate, gingerbread French toast, and cinnamon cereal milk latte. The latte was solid, nothing to rave about. The candied pistachio was pretty damn good - no complaints for this one. I wish there was a stronger gingerbread flavor for the french toast donut, but it was still delicious. Atmosphere: I'm not a fan of the heart of Dallas; streets have more craters than the moon and parking is practically non existent. Having that said; it's the location I'm not a fan of - not the establishment. My car is slightly lowered, but even driving 1mph at an angle nearly took off my bumper when I was turning into their parking lot. The shop itself is clean, has plenty of tables and even has quite the patio. Service: Only one guy was working the front. Though it wasn't an issue cause I needed a sec to figure out what I was getting, I waited about 5-8 minutes to order. read more

What a cute little donut shop with so many different flavors! They do have vegan and gluten free options. I went with the vegan option which was a cinnamon crunch. They do change their options pretty frequently and seem to sell out quickly! Luckily we got there early in the morning where plenty of options were still available. I also got the everything bagel cream cheese puff. The donut was absolutely delicious and not overly sweet! I also enjoyed my cream cheese puff which was a nice salty option for lunch. Overall I'm impressed and recommend it! read more

Went to The Salty Donut with a couple of tweens after a sleepover. And, after ordering all the things they stood in front of the register talking-oblivious to the other customers waiting to order and with no money. The very nice lady at the register was so kind and patient with us-we commiserated on kids and she did the SWEETEST thing ever (our little secret). Thank you for your kindness. You made our day. We hope you enjoy your day too!!! Oh and by the way, the donuts and ham and cheese croissant were delicious read more

We came back here in 2021 but I never reviewed it so I'll review today's visit in 2024. This is one fancy donut shop. Donuts are about $5 each. 2 of our kids got the chocolate glazed donuts and one got 6 assorted donut holes. One comment was, "Their donuts are too big." And another was, "The donuts are WAAAAAY too messy." My 2-cents, "The donuts are waaaaay too expensive for our taste. (I'm used to $1.50 Tim Horton's donuts.)" Nonetheless, the vibe is super chill. Love the laid back look. Not a ton of seating but options both inside and out. The service was fast and friendly. read more

We went to The Salty Donut on a whim and the Yelp recommendations. The service was great - everyone was very nice and accommodating. The atmosphere is cute - and fits right into the neighborhood. However the limited selection of donuts and the fact that they were stale leaves a lot to be desired. We had chocolate, dulce de leche and glazed. All were stale but the flavor on the dulce de leche was by far the most interesting. The matcha was very good. read more

Lovely shop with lots of natural lighting if you need to get some studying done. They have indoor and outdoor seating so you can bring a small group to share donuts and coffee together. I loved all of the donuts we got, but my fave is the salty cake donut. I'm not a big cake donut fan, but this was divine! Loved the sweet and savory balance and how delicious the donut still was the following day! Highly recommend coming! Kid friendly as well! There is a changing table in the bathroom. Parking is a little difficult. Street parking or parking in the back lot (but rarely available). read more

This place came highly recommended and I can see why! We came here in the middle of the day and had a hard time deciding on which donuts to get, so we got a few and had a couple of small bites each! We opted to get four, in order of our preference: *Horchata - I loved this, as I love anything with meringue! *Cinnamon Pear Crumble - this was basically like a warm apple pie, but with pear! Delicious! *Churro Dulce de leche - this was my friend's favorite. I really liked it too, and just love the texture and flavor! *Texas chocolate sheet cake - I don't like cake donuts, so that's probably why I didn't like this. Also, I got the cold brew and lemonade drink, and that was delicious! Such a weird, but great combination! I wish I could have tried more of their donuts, but what I did have was so good! read more

I'm a big fan of the salty donut! I've been to this and the downtown location multiple times. I love trying all the new and seasonal items! Today i couldn't help myself and didn't $40 on donuts. Oops (don't tell my husband). Today i got the horchata, pear crumble, tiramisu, texas sheet cake, sweet potato pie pop tart and cornflake chocolate chip cookie. First of all, i can't help myself bc everything looks amazing. I want to shout them out on their vegan and gf donuts. They look beautiful and taste amazing too! I didn't buy any of those this time but since my mom is gf I'm always looking for those things- especially in bakeries. I ate the poptart first- it was really too pretty to eat. So delish. I wish the layers of pastry were a touch thinner but so yummy and beautifully decorated! The merengue on the horchata donut is nice, not overly sweet. I haven't had much merengue so it's a fun treat. Also looks cool to have the little torch marks on top. (I need to get myself a kitchen torch!) I've had the pear crumble before so i knew it was epic already- got it bc my son wanted to try it. Texas sheet cake is a delish chocolate cake donut. I've tried this one before too. It's solid and basic. Can't go wrong. The tiramisu one was my least fave but that's on me not them bc i don't like coffee. Before you come for me...i know that tiramisu is coffee flavored but i wanted to try it and hope for the best. It was so pretty!! The cookie is ok but i like mine softer, also needs more chocolate. Fun idea. We also got an eggnog latte with oatmilk that my son enjoyed and i got a hibiscus tea lemonade (iced) that I've gotten several times and really enjoy. Yes- even in 15 degree weather. read more
