The salty is definitely one of the best donut places in Austin. I enjoy the tiramisu flavor. It’s not too sweet and you can taste the chocolate. Service is great. Restroom is clean. I like the table here. Stable internet and nice chairs. You can enjoy a great time using laptop here.Parking: There are around 10 parking spaces in total. It’s easy to park in the weekday, but sometimes you will have a hard time looking for a parking lot during the weekend.
Loved the vegan doughnut. It's decedent!! The chai latte was sooo good!! Had a meeting here and it was the perfect spot, and again, love the drink and food. Keep up the amazing work, and pls support the beautiful spotDietary restrictions: They have a gluten free and vegan doughnut

Love the churro star donut. Cold brew is really bitter though. (UT truck)

If you’re looking for a sweet treat, this is the place to be. At my last visit, I picked up a 1/2 dozen donuts for my clients who bought their 1st home. These donuts are definitely shareable. The churro was their favorite!Parking: There’s very limited parking at the S. Congress location, but it’s worth the trouble.

Embark on a gastronomic adventure to The Salty, an extraordinary donut shop nestled in the heart of Austin, that dares to challenge the very essence of French patisseries with its innovative approach to the humble donut. Not just your average bakery, The Salty elevates the donut to an art form, offering a symphony of flavors that could easily command a standing ovation in the most prestigious of Parisian cafes.With each donut priced at a premium of $5, it's tempting to balk at the cost until you realize these aren't mere donuts; they're meticulously crafted pastries that deserve to be savored like the finest of desserts. This realization transforms the experience, making each bite a luxurious indulgence that justifies every penny.Our journey to The Salty was so spellbinding that we were compelled to return not once, but twice in less than 24 hours. It's a testament not only to the irresistible allure of their creations but also to the culinary excellence that The Salty represents. Each visit unveils a new layer of flavor, a new twist on tradition, and a fresh opportunity to fall in love with their confections all over again.On the dawn of our second pilgrimage, anticipation filled the air as we ventured forth, eager to discover what morning delights awaited us. This time, our adventure led us to the enchanting realm of their kolaches, a testament to The Salty's culinary versatility and creativity. I chose the jalapeno and sausage kolache, a masterpiece encased in a delicate yeast dough that whispered tales of tradition with every bite. Brushed with an egg wash, it boasted a crispy shell that gracefully surrendered to a slight pull, revealing a soft, airy interior. The dance of the jalapeno's subtle heat with the well-flavored sausage created a harmony of flavors, culminating in what can only be described as the perfect bite.My husband, ever the culinary adventurer, opted for the Terry's Black Brisket and Queso Kolache, which shared the same exquisite dough and egg wash as my selection. The brisket, smoked to perfection, nestled within the dough, was a revelation in every sense. Its rich, savory flavors melded beautifully with the creamy queso, creating a symphony of taste that was hearty yet not overpowering, leaving us satisfied but not overly full.The Salty isn't just a donut shop; it's a destination for those seeking to transcend the ordinary and experience the extraordinary. With food that undoubtedly ranks as top tier and well above average, it's an adventure for the taste buds that promises to leave you enchanted, satisfied, and perhaps a little more in love with Austin than you were before. It's a vivid reminder that sometimes, the most memorable journeys are those that take place on a plate, one exquisite donut or kolache at a time.Note: we went back again to bring a box of churro star, cinnamon, dolce de Leche donuts home with us
