the salty

I love donuts! Lani knew this and went to The Salty right after they opened and stood in line and brought back donuts. We enjoy them and I’ve been eating at The Salty once or twice a week ever since. They have an excellent delivery service through their app or via DoorDash and I have been partaking in that. We finally took a trip up to The Salty on Saturday afternoon. We drove up in my electric wheelchair, I wanted to drive, so Lani sat on my lap and we cruised up together. The Salty is located on South Congress just across the road from Magnolia Cafe and on the same block as C-Boy’s. We rolled up to The Salty and the first thing I noticed was the accessible parking spot right by the double doors, where there is also an access loading area and a ramp to the front doors. The double doors open wide, so rolling in was not a problem. There is a lot of space inside. At the counter you can order donuts / savory items, such as Terry Black’s brisket and cheese stuffed kolaches and coffee. There is a display of donuts next to the ordering counter and you pick out what you want. Then you roll down the aisle  & pick up your coffee and pastries. Around the corner there are tables inside that are all great to roll up and sit. I am a fan of the cake donut called The Salty Donut. It's a brown butter iced cake donut with sea salt flakes on top. We have tried most of the other donuts and they are all good. They also have really good coffee. The bathroom is super accessible. It is a private accessible all gender bathroom. The space was kind of tight with my big electric chair, we backed in & then had to move the trash can, but it all worked out great. I was able to get in and close and lock the door. The bars are all set up in the right spots. Particularly the horizontal bar on the left side is actually in the perfect place. Most places do not put it in such a good spot. They also have a porch area with a pickup window where you can sit outside, but that area is not accessible. This is a highly recommended place to have donuts, it’s open from 7 to 7, so it fits most schedules.
