Founded by Andy Rodriguez & Amanda Pizarro out of an Aljoa camper in 2015, The Salty Donut is considered by many to be Miami’s best Donut Shop, recent expansion to Orlando seeing the duo’s 24 Hour Brioche and unique toppings add another chapter to its story built on 100% scratch production and only natural ingredients.
Part of trendy Wynwood ever since turning brick & mortar, the narrow storefront at 50 NW 23rd Street currently take-out only, it was via online pre-order that six Donuts were secured the day after Christmas, service anything but “merry” from a young man whose disdain for work was visible even beneath a facemask.
Undeterred by the frosty interaction, instead excited to unbox and share a $25.52 load, Breakfast began with “Brown Butter + Salt,” the day’s only Cake round toothsome yet light with bright Vanilla notes while “White Chocolate Tres Leches” pulled off an impressive feat by protecting the bottom from sog while leavened Brioche was complex and moist.
Rarely ordering Maple Bacon after hundreds of previous tastes, though The Salty’s version outpaces most thanks to bitter-sweet balance from Imperial Porter, suffice it to say that Rodriguez and Pizarro’s “Cannoli” is as stylish as it is delicious while the “Vegan Brioche” piped with Cookie Butter was virtually indistinguishable from the version housing Guava Cream Cheese beneath bits of Streusel fabricated from Puff Pastry.
