Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee

A solid location for one of my favorite doughnut shops. Sidecar serves the freshest and most delicious doughnuts as each are made in small batches. Each of the mainstay flavors is tasty and they also have creative rotating seasonal flavors too.

Depending on the time of day you go it can get busy but they help you out quickly. There is no seating area inside but lots of table space outside as well as next door at the neighboring restaurant. Parking wise there is an entire lot attached that has validated parking for free.

If you’re in the area and need a sugar pick me up, definitely visit Sidecar!

I love sidecar, some of the best donuts around in my opinion because they’re always fresh. I didn’t take pictures this time around because I’ve been to some of the other locations but they’re always great, I got the chocolate chip cookie dough one which was good but not hot which I knew beforehand to be fair. Definitely ask what is the hottest and get that flavor it’s a game changer. I also got the vanilla latte and it was good, pretty standard. Parking is free for 1 hour in the lot by Trader Joe’s and sidecar validates so should be no issue.

I’ve had Sidecar many times over the years and moved up from San Diego where I grew up 4 years ago, but when I lived there, I actually was not a fan of them. Since I have moved up, I am now a fan, although I do get it rarely for waistline reasons. The donuts are a bit expensive as many people have already mentioned, but they are seriously yummy and they always have great and unique flavors. Considering this is a rare treat the price point does not bother me at all.

My favorite flavors are the Malasada, Salty Caramel and Huckleberry. I have pretty much tried every flavor except the Basil Benedict although I plan to go in the future to get that flavor specifically. I would recommend to any fan of donuts or anyone looking for a seriously delicious treat.

Their donuts are amazing. Different than a pink box type of place. More consistent with a cake donut. I strongly recommend eating them fresh. They are at their best recently out of the oven. But can't go wrong even if enjoyed hours later. The location has parking but you need to remember to validate. Butter and salt is their most popular option for a reason.

Favorite doughnut place iN LA!! My only complaint is that I wish they were bigger. They’re normal sized but I’m a fan of giant doughnuts - these doughnuts are fluffy and soft inside and melts inside your mouth. I had the strawberries and cream doughnut and my friend had the huckleberry cake doughnut. The strawberries and cream had a sweet creamy filling and overall They’re pretty quality. I also had a matcha iced latte which was good as well. Sidecar is also a bit more on the pricier side, but the doughnuts are tasty. I recommend coming here if you’re visiting LA and looking for doughnut places!!

Amazing doughnuts! They have a good variety of unique flavours. The doughnuts are incredibly fresh and taste incredible. Definitely one of the best doughnuts that I’ve ever tried. Our favourite of the ones we tried was the “Choc A Lot”, but they are all great!

Dare I say that these were the best donuts I’ve ever had in my life? I dare say I do! The next level flavors of the butter and salt donut when it is warm and fresh are out of this world. And do not sleep on the huckleberry because picking my favorite between it and the butter and salt is like picking a favorite child. As like most donuts they are much better hot and fresh which is why I didn’t think the old fashioned was anything special. They are constantly pumping out fresh donuts which is why they don’t always have full inventory so I’d recommend that you ask which donuts just came out and treat yo self!

Fresh, unique flavors that make me go "ughhgmmmmmmm". Favorites were Butter&salt, huckleberry, blueberry. Stayed for 5 days in LA and went twice. The workers are super friendly! Side note, the vietnamese coffee is nothing like the real one (no condensed milk) but still tasty!

I stumbled upon this donut shop in Beverly Grove, and let me tell you, the blueberry pancake donut absolutely knocked my socks off! I decided to visit right at the end of the day, just before closing, and even then, it was still incredibly delicious.

Best doughnuts I’ve ever had. I honestly can’t wait to come back to Cali to eat here again. The cookie dough was probably my favorite if I had to choose but it’s a tough call because they are all amazing! The Girl Scout cookie flavors are all delicious. Lemon curd is mouthwatering. The eggs Benedict doughnut absolutely blew my mind! So much more than a cool concept; it delivers a full brunch experience inside a doughnut. The Vietnamese iced coffee was so strong and tasty. Just the perfect way to start a day

Delicious, freshly made donuts in a variety of unique flavors that aren’t ridiculous. I love getting them for friends/ work bc it levels up the donut game from the ordinary pink-box donuts. The presentation is always impressive and the actual quality and taste doesn’t disappoint.

Gonna take forever if I do individual reviews for each donut so I'm just gonna leave my recommendations. My favorites are still the butter and salt, the original, and old fashioned. The other donuts are still really good but the 3 more plain flavors really bring out the flavor of their fresh ingredients. They didn't have the basil eggs Benedict donut this time which is my personal favorite of theirs for uniqueness, wow factor, and taste. Their coffee is also string if you like strong coffee.

Loved this place! Im from out of town and will definitely be back. Love the rotating menu of donuts. We split a few different flavors and definitely will be back to do it again. Loved the chocolate peanut butter! They have a shared paid parking lot in the back.

Sidecar is a donut lover's dream come true. The variety of flavors is mind-blowing, and the quality is unbeatable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. A must-visit for all donut enthusiasts!

I never imagined ordering bacon donuts, but Sidecar convinced me it would be a good idea and it was! the donuts are perfect and delicious, and the packaging is incredible! It's a great gift!

Very good "fancy" donut shop. The flavors are complex and delicious. A must stop if you are on a donut tasting tour of LA.

Butter and salt doughnut is unlike any I've had before! You have to get it. The glaze is sweet and salty in the best way. The doughnut itself was thick enough to leave me satisfied but not feel too heavy. The huckleberry doughnut was the runner up with a very muffin-like texture.

One of the best doughnut spots in LA. Came here on a Saturday around 1 (tryna celebrate National Doughnut Weekend) and there was a short line that moved quickly. Validated 1 hour parking is available (Sidecar validation machine is right by the register) otherwise it’s $2 for each 15 mins thereafter. Credit cards are accepted. There are a couple of outdoor tables to enjoy your food/drinks around the corner.

You can’t go wrong with any of the doughnuts. There are classic flavors as well as rotating seasonal flavors, so you’ll always have an array of options. For the classic flavors, birthday cake and maple bacon are my faves. This time, we went for some seasonal flavors, which included a strawberry cream (stupendous), a Salt&Straw collaboration cookie dough (amazing), and a Poptart (very yummy). All the doughnuts are made fresh each hour and there aren’t any preservatives. They have drink options as well, and the iced matcha latte with oat milk I had was well made. Shout out to Marissa who still hustled and helped us even with her broken arm (you’re the best!) as well as Chloe who was very helpful and sweet.

My mom still worries about my sugar intake, but I’d say Sidecar is well worth it. Enjoy!

Sidecar doughnuts are the cakey type, a bit on the pricier side, but they’re still really good. I recommend the huckleberry one and the vanilla bean glazed too. The Fairfax location has a very convenient parking lot in the front.

Great selection of doughnuts and vegan option and gluten free options! I liked my butter & salt choice my wife didn’t care too much for her choice!
