The burgeoning Miami-based bakery chain, The Salty Donut, is gearing up to sweeten the lives of Domain Northside shoppers with its latest Austin outpost. Nestled between Velvet Taco and Lotus Chinese, The Salty is known for its dizzying array of decadent doughnuts, weaving cake and brioche bases into its offerings. According to Eater Austin, the brand has set its sights on 11501 Rock Rose Avenue, Suite 158, plotting to hurl open its doors at an as-of-yet undisclosed date.
Flavors set to tantalize taste buds include the Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake Donut and Strawberry Shortcake, complete with a nod to alternative diets through options like the Vegan Ultimate Oreo Cookie. Despite no confirmation on the exact opening date, Community Impact has gleaned from a filed permit with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation that the construction might wrap up by August 1, indicating that indulgence could soon be on the menu for Austinites.
With The Salty's first Austin branch having taken root in the Bouldin Creek neighborhood on South Congress in August 2021, the Domain Northside location will mark the company's second venture into the city. This expansion echoes the sweet success of their current offer of combined baked goods and coffee, which has resonated well with the local community.
Forging ahead, The Salty Donut seems poised to sprinkle its gourmet magic across Austin's evolving culinary scene. Texas residents and visitors alike, craving both new experiences and flavors, can look forward to the treat in the not-too-distant future. After all, with a menu boasting mouthwatering morsels, The Salty's second act in Austin at Domain Northside promises to continue the tradition of craft and quality they're swiftly becoming synonymous with.
