Salty Donut’s Hyde Park Village location will reside at 1519 W Swann Ave., adjacent to popular eateries like On Swann, Timpaño Hyde Park and bartaco, while the Seminole Heights brick and mortar will open at 5808 N Florida Ave. near restaurants such as 3 Dot Dash, Ichicoro Ramen and King of the Coop.
Seminole Heights’ location is a cozy, historic bungalow painted light pink, while its sibling location a few miles south will be a sleek and modern storefront, fitting with the surrounding retail area of Hyde Park Village. According to a representative for The Salty Donut, its Seminole Heights location will serve as the production space for both of its Tampa storefronts, even giving customers a chance to see the production process and artistry behind their popular doughnuts.
The Salty Donut is known for its rotating menu of both sweet and savory doughnuts, with popular flavors like chocolate cookie crunch, traditional glazed, strawberry milk cake and caramel toffee crumb. Exclusive Florida flavors (that we can probably expect in Tampa, too) include doughnuts like guava and cheese, toasted coquito and Key lime meringue. All Salty Donut locations also offer various vegan and gluten-free flavors as well.And in addition to its constantly-changing doughnuts, The Salty Donut also offers a full coffee and espresso menu of speciality lattes, maple brown sugar cold brews, cortados, cappuccinos and more.
“Being Florida-founded and based, Amanda and I have been traveling all over the state since we were little kids! As we made our way to expand throughout the state, we knew as soon as we went further north, we had to do Orlando and Tampa/St. Pete,” Andy Rodriguez, CEO of The Salty Donut, states in a press release.The Salty Donut has come a long way since its 2015 debut, when it started hosting pop-up events throughout Miami, originally serving its donuts out of a refurbished 1950s camper. Now the family-owned company has over seven locations throughout the country, in states like Texas, North Carolina and Florida. Miami and Orlando are the homes to the only other Florida-based Salty Donut locations.
