    Cool place, donuts were different and coffee pretty good. Nice step out of the ordinary.

    I heard about The Salty while traveling through Texas and was glad that it happened to be within walking distance from the last AirBnB on my trip. I'm a fan of fancy donuts and this spot didn't disappoint. I got the Horchata, Brown Butter & Salt and the Cookie Monster. The Horchata and Cookie Monster were a brioche or yeast type of donut and the Brown Butter & Salt was a cake type. The Horchata was my favorite with a thick cinnamon cream flamed topping that captured the essence of the famous drink. It sat on top of a donut that had a soft inside that was soaked in horchata although I found most of the flavor to come from the cream. The bottom was coated with Valrhona Caramelia chocolate which added a delightful caramel element to the mix. The Cookie Monster donut was filled with whipped edible cookie dough that resembled a smooth cream. The flavor was accurate but I did find myself missing the grittiness of normal cookie dough. Interestingly the blue in the vanilla glaze was from a spirulina called blue majik so I guess you could claim this is a healthier donut. It gave the donut a great color and didn't alter the flavor of the vanilla glaze. The brown butter & salt donut was one of the better cake type donuts I've tried. It was lighter than others and had a great vanilla flavor that complimented the rich butter glaze and salty accents. This one I tried a bite of when it was fresh, but did not get to the rest of it until a few days later. It held up well and the taste was very similar to when it was fresh. Besides the donuts the atmosphere of the shop was excellent too. There were several seating options both inside and outside. Ceramic plates were available to use which you don't see very often in donut shops. I was able to use them to get some food photography done at the shop. Outside there was a shaded patio area complete with string lights and a fire pit. I definitely will be returning the next time I'm nearby!

    The place easily could have been 5 stars. I loved the texture of the brioche donut and the strawberry flavor. The mascarpone whipped cream was a surprising savory flavor against the sweetness of the rest of the donut. My husband and I also really enjoyed our lattes, it had a wonderful coffee flavor without being bitter. It also had just the perfect amount of sweetness. The indoor space was beautiful and I loved all of the additional seating outdoors. The reason I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 stars was our interaction with their staff. The employee was just annoyed during our entire interaction. She also made me feel like I should have known what I wanted as soon as I walked in even though we had let her know right away we needed some extra time so she wasn't just standing at the register waiting.

    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.
