"The Salty is a small, cozy café in 12th South. They offer a good range of baked goods, some of which are seasonal. The mixed berry cheesecake donut was exactly what it sounds like and delicious! The donut was fresh, with a generous cheesecake filling, berry icing, and cookie crumble. The salted caramel latte is a must-try! It was perfectly balanced in sweetness and full of flavor. The cold brew lemonade was another excellent, refreshing choice. Seating can be a little tight, but the staff are always warm and welcoming, which I really appreciate."

"I went to check out The Salty (Donut) in 12 south today as I'm so excited we had a location open in Nashville this summer! I used to live in Miami and would visit their location in Wynwood at least once a month, so I am super excited to have these amazing donuts nearby now! The store front is super cute and in a great area of 12 South. I loved that the staff was so sweet and that there was both indoor and outdoor seating available. I tried to vanilla iced latte and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't overly sweet! I also got 2 donuts, the chocolate cake (to die for!) and the brown butter & salt cake (also good, but not as good as the chocolate). I love this style of donut more than those that are branded as "multi-layers" because these donuts had a perfect kind of consistency and weight to them. I also ordered the ham & cheese croissant, which was my favorite food item! The ham and cheese were so delicious in a perfectly flakey croissant crust. I can't wait to go back and get another one!"

"The donuts were amazing across the board. Sadly, the coffee was pretty nasty and ruined the experience a bit. I ordered it with half-and-half because I prefer my coffee extra creamy, but it tasted like plain, watered-down coffee with no dairy at all. I even double-checked with the barista to make sure half-and-half was used, because I genuinely couldn’t taste any creaminess. If you’re used to coffee with half and half, the difference is very obvious."

"My pistachio cannoli looked phenomenal but was just okay. It lacked flavor and freshness. Granted I purchased and consumed it at 7pm when I am sure that it was made at 7 AM, but nonetheless customers expect and deserve fresh food always. Prices are reasonable compared to similar options in Nashville. Friendly staff, but I’m not sure that I will return."

"I was fortunate to be apart of their soft opening and wow! First of all - the coffee is unreal. Tastes very close to Blue Bottle (if you're familiar)! The donuts were delicious, breakfast sandwich was , and the avocado toast was phenomenal. Perfect grab and go spot made of high quality fresh ingredients. Fun atmosphere and very friendly staff. Thank you so much!! We will definitely be back."
