Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee

A fun and unique donut shop. Extremely fresh. They make them in small batches so they are always fresh. The latte coffees were great too.

I drove 45 minutes to try Sidecar Donuts, and it turned out to be the biggest disappointment ever. The donuts were bitter, doughy, and completely flavorless.honestly the worst donuts I’ve ever had. They tasted like they were made with old oil or overcooked, which probably explains the bitterness. On top of that, the staff looked unprofessional their aprons were filthy, and no one even smiled or seemed to know what was inside the donuts they were selling. For a place that’s supposed to be premium this was unacceptable. I did get a refund after calling, but that doesn’t make up for the wasted time and effort. I genuinely regret trying their donuts. If you want real flavor and freshness, try JD Flannel Donuts same price or less, and so much better

Amazing donuts, the cake style is perfectly fluffy with a slight crisp. They have samples which is an added perk. The service is great but the store is a bit cramped. Definitely a grab and go situation!

What can I say — a solid experience. Good selection, fresh products, and definitely a doughnut shop worth keeping in mind. Some flavors stand out more than others, but overall it’s a place I would return to when I’m in the mood for something sweet and well-made.

the absolute best donut/coffee spot in all of socal. Sidecar puts LOVE into their coffee & you can absolutely tell the difference. They also make all of their syrups in house! They have a seasonal banana latte that i’m hoping becomes permanent, because it’s literally the best coffee i’ve ever had. Their donuts on the other hand, are just as good as the coffee. The butter & salt will always be #1b- as they use quality ingredients for every item they sell. Additionally, they come out with seasonal flavors which are all to-die-for —like the strawberry glaze, dubai chocolate, and more!!! Definitely stop by to try them out if you’re visiting or if you live nearby 🙂

VERDICT: Excellent donuts with impeccable style and flavor. A must-try. FOOD: There are no gimmicks here with the unique styles of donuts, but rather excellent execution. The balance of gentle sweetness, richness, and saltiness of the butter & salt donut squarely demonstrates this shop's expertise in the art of the pastry. It can't be overstated that this shop dodges the pitfall of overwhelming sweetness, best displayed in the salted caramel donut and the passion fruit donut, which temper sweetness in favor of full-bodied flavor. DRINK: Their coffee serves as a perfect companion to the donuts. While not stellar, it is still quite enjoyable and may have been a killer coffee, but who's-to-know when the donuts are guaranteed to steal the show. SERVICE: The team was kind, prompt, and a joy to work with. Perhaps my child-like excitement helped my cause, but if you don't have child-like excitement being taken into the audience of a royal donut spread like this, your soul may be dead. ATMOSPHERE: Americana-meets-French. A poignant memory of Paris for me will always be the bustle of a cramped patisserie. This place hits those notes but with a refreshingly American twist by offering a coffee and slowing the vibe a couple notches while still maintaining the excitement of imminent indulgence.

The best doughnuts you'll ever have are right here. And I've been to portland. I highly recommend the butter and salt. My favorite is the strawberry buttermilk, but it's not available year round. They also have weekly new flavors, there's always a gluten free option, and the coffee is pretty great too. I recommend ordering ahead on the app and just picking up since there can be a line on weekend mornings.
