"I have been here a couple of times and the experience was better each time! The workers are very welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu. I was greeted and offered samples, which were very helpful in picking out my donut flavors. I really enjoy how they change the menu based on the season. I got the french toast donut which was phenomenal, as well as the cinnamon donut. Their donuts are the perfect balance of sweetness and are not overwhelming. The banana bread latte was great too! They also give coupons and rewards everytime I go, so I definitely will be back!"

"Donuts have been a passion (my wife would probably say obsession) of mine since early childhood. So when in Rome…..well in this case California. Sidecar have locations throughout California (and probably beyond but I’m here for the donuts not a geography lesson) but we stopped at the one in Rolling hills, Torrance. The selection is good but not mind numbingly enormous so making your choice doesn’t take 2 weeks. The prices are reasonable compared to the U.K. (£5-6 in the U.K. for an “artisan” donut compared to £2.50-3 here). The Huckleberry was delicious and the chocolate donut was crispy on the outside but moist and almost gooey on the inside. For me the standout was the maple and bacon. I’m not a big fan of savoury/sweet combinations but this works so well. Maple bacon is weakness of mine anyway so sticking it on a donut seems the next step in evolution. Check Sidecar out for delicious donuts and coffee. Definitely in my top 5 donut shops worldwide (but I haven’t visited them all yet so that may change over time!)"

"I used to go to Sidecar Donut in Santa Monica every month! What an amazing donut, nowhere I have tasted better donuts. In 2020 I’ve moved out California and eveyday I missed this place. Last month I went back to California, after 5 years od moving away, and I HAD to have Sidecar Donuts. You can’t go wrong with any flavor you order, but my favorite still the cinnamon one. Basic but delicious!!! I hope they grow more and more and spread out all over the USA, so I can have a chance to have them again one day. If you are in California, just go get some, any of their locations the donuts will be worthy!"

"Finally got to try these donuts. Located in a nice plaza with plenty of free self parking. Staff is very welcoming. There's some indoor seating and there's also a couple of outside patio seating. There's lots of donut options including two gluten free in case if that's what you need. It's a bit pricey imo. It feels similar to Crumbl cookies in the sense that they change their menu to keep you returning for new and limited time flavors."

"Made it a point to visit here on our trip to the LA area. Absolutely delicious donuts and excelente coffee options. My husband still talks about their drinks."
