Its mission has always been simple yet powerful—make people feel good. In 2014, Amanda Pizarro and Andy Rodriguez set out on this journey from a charming 1950s vintage camper. What began as a small pop-up in Miami quickly grew into something much larger, and now, it’s right here in our backyard.
Enter The Salty on Tennyson Street, where every visit is an experience. Its team believes in the magic of a truly exceptional donut, mouthwatering baked goods, and a perfectly crafted coffee—because, as The Salty puts it, “There’s something transformative about a really freakin’ good donut.” From the moment you walk through the doors, you’ll find exactly that.
Its menu is thoughtfully curated with the finest locally sourced ingredients, ensuring exceptional freshness and flavor in every bite and sip.
The donut menu is undeniably the star of the show. From rich brown butter and sea salt creations to indulgent 24-hour brioche-filled treats, seasonal specialties, and even gluten-free and vegan options, there’s something for everyone.
Right now, the lineup includes classics and creative twists alike—traditional glazed, cookie butter banana cream pie, Samoa cookie, cookie monster, brown butter and salt, mixed berry cheesecake, cinnamon sugar crumble (V), chocolate whoopie pie (GF) and an assortment of donut holes.
For those craving something savory, The Salty offers an exceptional selection of baked goods. From an egg and potato croissant roll, to its unique spin on a strawberry Pop-Tart and the ingenious Cragel—a delicious fusion of a croissant and a bagel—every bite is a perfect balance of comfort and creativity.
Don’t worry, we didn’t forget the coffee—and neither did The Salty. They know there’s no better pairing than a donut and a perfectly brewed cup, which is why its coffee creations are anything but an afterthought. Sip on inventive flavors like a cinnamon cereal milk latte or a mocha latte with cherry cold foam, or stick to the classics with a cappuccino, americano and more—your caffeine fix is covered.
Not a coffee drinker? They’ve got you too. Enjoy a matcha latte, refreshing hibiscus lemonade or a soothing cup of organic jasmine green tea.
