    I have been going to the Salty doughnut on the other side of Orlando for years and always love it, but today at the regency village location it was a bit of a miss. Though my coffee was fine (a bit too sweet) the service really lacked. This is my first time going to this location and although they had at least 3 employees working and no other customers in line the staff ignored me for a few minutes before ordering then as soon as they put in my order walked away to chat with other employees before scanning my app. Then after waiting 5 mins to scan they just walked away to chat again. The location was nice but the restrooms were not clean. I just think the staff can pay a bit more attention to detail. I'll continue going to the other Orlando location but probably not this one.

    We had an awesome first time experience at this Salty Donuts location. It opened last September and this was our first visit. I happen to jump in and join the fun (although I'm not typically a donut enthusiast). By the way, my brown sugar donut (as was recommended as it's one of their most popular) was absolutely one of the best I've ever had. Really fresh and mouthwatering. We definitely plan a return. Also, since this is near the Marshalls, we went 'Marshalling' after our visit.

    Looks like The Salty Donut has moved up to Orlando from the South Florida area. They opened a location by the hotel we were staying at off I-Drive. Went in to get coffee and a few donuts for the kids. This location is super clean, simple decor, and organized. They usually have the donuts laid out right next to the register along with the labels for each item. But they also have a glass case for viewing with trays of each donut flavor. EVERYTHING WE GOT: * Brown butter & salt cake donut $4.50 * Butterbeer donut * Traditional glazed donut $3.95 * Pistachio butter latte iced coffee $7.50 I wanted the hot coffee, but this pistachio butter latte only came in an iced coffee option. So opted to try this instead. I also have a Salty Donuts account so they were able to pull up my number and apply it towards my account so I can get points for free items in the future. Rack up those points! The lovely cashier gave us our donuts and we waited for my coffee. We cut each donut in half and I took a bite of each one to test it out. I have to say the glazed donut was my favorite out of the three we got. The glaze was still a little too sweet for me so I took off most of the glaze and the doughnut itself was actually light and fluffy and quite perfect. I would be happy with just a plain donut and no glaze. I wonder if that's something that they can offer? The butterbeer donut was way too sweet and the brown butter & salt cake donut was too dense for my liking. Got the pistachio butter latte and it did a great job on the presentation. Coffee was good but a little bit sweeter than I'd like. Still good. Overall, a very nice space, good quality donuts but also expensive and a little too sweet for my liking. Coffee was good but more like a dessert too. Ha. Still, I really loved the flavor combo of the pistachio butter with the crumbled bits on top and pistachio paste lined around the cup. Nice touch and just a beautiful presentation. I wish they would lighten up on the sugar and sweetness level on these donuts as it can be too much!

    Sad that I have to drive all the way across town to Dr. PHILLIPS to get a donut from The Salty Donut. The space is huge and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The only downfall is that there was only one employee holding down the whole store. She was taking orders, making drinks, and still baking and cleaning in the back. They definitely need to hire and train more people. And pay her more for being the only employee holding down the fort. I got the guava and cheese donut and pistachio butter latter and both were delicious.

    Simple, hip packaging.

    If you're into donuts that give off a more gourmet dessert vibe than your local Krispy Kreme or Dunkin', The Salty Donut is one of those spots worth checking out while you're in Orlando. These are inventive, creative, chef-driven donuts that combine unique flavors like brown butter with sea salt and guava with cream cheese. You can get something a little more classic or a bit out there, depending on your mood. Inside, the donut shop is cute and relaxed. They also have a coffee menu with lattes and the like, which is a no-brainer to incorporate into a donut store. I have never tried the coffee here, but it does usually smell quite good. I stopped in for the donuts and couldn't resist sampling their signature offering: a brown butter with sea salt flavor sweet treat. My donut was good but not great, which was a letdown considering the price. These donuts definitely skew on the pricier side, which is kind of nuts when you consider the ingredients are mostly yeast and oil. The yeastiness of the donut was appealing, but it did taste like the dough was fried a little too long in oil that wasn't hot enough. It wasn't greasy, but it wasn't as light and fluffy as I was expecting either. The oil at least tasted fresh and not old, which is a big turnoff when it comes to most other donut shops. Here, the hype doesn't live up to the cost. Service was professional but not exactly friendly and warm, but I guess it doesn't matter that much when you're just grabbing a donut to go. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back to The Salty Donut, but I would still give them another try if I'm craving a dessert while visiting the area.

    I'm so glad The Salty Donut opened a location closer to me--it's quickly become my go-to spot. Whether I'm stopping in for a morning coffee, grabbing one of their delicious breakfast sandwiches, or treating myself to a donut (which is honestly a must every time), everything is consistently top-notch. Must orders: the pistachio cannoli donut or the butter beer donut and any of their breakfast sandwiches! Their menu changes seasonally, which is awesome for people like me who like trying new flavors and concoctions. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the experience. The employees are always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely personable--it never feels rushed or transactional. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in both the quality of the food and the atmosphere. It's rare to find a place that nails both great food and great service, but The Salty Donut does it effortlessly.

    I've had the salty in Atlanta several times but never in a Florida and the change in flavor profiles reflects that. A toasted coquito donut?! I knew I had to get it and it did not disappoint. My son love the mango glazed donut as well and my coffee was just what I needed to get my vacation day started. The line was a little long and we had a short wait but it was a prime tourist location area and lots of people are on the area. Super glad I got to taste the flavors and I'm sure I won't get the opportunity to have the same choices when I return home.

    An amazing donut and coffee shop, the Salty Donut serves a variety of delicious donut flavors. Due to its proximity to Universal they serve a yummy butterbeer flavored donut in addition to their other flavors like toasted coquito. I recently tried the yuzu matcha and pistachio cannoli which were both very good. They also do a lot of seasonal flavors and collabs! We actually went recently for their limited caviar event where they sold a brioche and caviar bundle. So definitely keep an eye on their socials or sign up for their newsletter. This location is within a bustling shopping center so there's plenty of parking. The interior is very welcoming with a decent amount of seating. I could definitely see myself hanging out here with some coffee. The staff here are always very nice! Like some others mentioned they do sell out later in the day so something to keep in mind if you're planning a visit.

    Small location inside of shopping center. A good spot for a little break when doing some shopping. We got the mini donuts and the butter beer donut. Both were super good. The cashiers were nice and service was quick We took our food to go Would go back if craving a sweet treat.

    This is a new local restaurant that opened in the area about two months ago. They offer a variety of year-round donuts, seasonal flavors, sandwiches, and other artisan-style breads that all look delicious. The staff member who took our order and prepared our coffee was very informative and friendly, taking the time to explain their most popular donuts and the different types of specialty coffees they offer. The coffee selection is excellent. I tried the Coquito Latte and it's sweet and flavorful, perfect if you enjoy sweeter drinks. For donuts, I had the Brown Butter & Sea Salt cake donut, which quickly became my favorite. I highly recommend it and $$.

    Who can resist a fresh delicious cake donut? We got the salted caramel and decadent chocolate. 10/10

    They had a commercial shoot underway when I arrived, so they gave me donut holes to accommodate for the inconvenience (and it was totally fine, but a great gesture). The butterbeer donut was perfect. Nostalgic because of the movie, but the taste was great. The cream inside was crazy good. Also had an apple butter graham cracker latte that was 10/10. Great Friday coffee break!

    I loved this place! I have to start coming here more often! They had so many fun donuts, and so many food options to choose from! I only tried the hashbrown bites from the food menu, and then the gluten free chocolate chip donut and the brown butter donut. The apple butter latte was my drink of choice. NOTHING FAILED ME! I was surprised by every single item that I tried, and now I am excited to go back and try more! The employees were so friendly and helped me choose which donuts I should try, and they did a great job! Might I add, the gluten free donut was only $.30 more than a regular donut price that's huge for gluten free eaters!

Please get rid of the liquor license you only need beer. Get rid of the DJ. Make your cornbread in a pan or a skillet and make it big enough that one hand eating is challenging.

The ones we wanted came with gravy and the staff let us know they were behind on making it. So we pivoted and tried their prime rib smash burger but unfortunately that felt a little disappointing. For the price that it was, you'd think that you'd get a decently portioned burger or some sides with it but it was super tiny. And the bun felt like grocery bread, the type you can get for a home bbq. It was still delicious but rather disappointing at the same time. We ended up having to order a third dish just to feel satisfied and at least it was very good. The bowls are worth it, maybe not the burger but the bowls for sure! I also snagged up a donut and truthfully that is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Another downside to this spot and why I didn't give it a 4 star is because how slow the service was. We watched a whole family get up and leave because it was taking so long, I actually felt bad for the staff and owner. The place has great tasting food, just needs a little shaping up. Maybe someone who can run the kitchen as a head chef. Overall, I still recommend the place but just know that you'll be waiting a while and some things may not be available.
