The Salty Donut | Plaza Midwood

Description: Artisanal donut and coffee shop with chef-made, small-batch donuts and a full coffee menu in a bright, modern grab-a-box-or-hang-for-a-bit setup.

Comments: Small spot, but they use the space well. There are 2 small two-person tables, 1 high-top table, a 6-person table in the middle, and 6 bar-style seats along a high table near the window. Still, I’d say it’s better suited for a quick chat than an extended stay.

That said, the pricing for donuts in bulk is wild. $52 for a dozen. I don’t even know how to process that kind of pricing. Inflation is bad, but is it $52 for a dozen donuts bad?

Parking can be tricky. It’s not obvious, but there’s a paid garage behind the building that belongs to an apartment complex. If you’re feeling bold, you can try the nearby CVS Pharmacy lot, though there’s always a risk of getting towed. Oh, and they have cinnamon rolls. They’re solid.
