Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee
631 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA
Crema's Take
“Sidecar is a beloved Santa Monica institution where exceptional donuts truly steal the show, with customers raving about their crispy-edged, pillowy centers that keep them coming back multiple times during their visits. While their coffee is solid and their banana bread latte hits the mark, it's really the rotating selection of creative donuts—think banana bread lattes and seasonal flavors—that makes this spot a must-stop before heading to the beach, even if the menu rotation means you might miss a former favorite.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Love this place, fresh, warm doughnuts with that crisp edge and soft center, exactly what you want. Coffee was good too. Easy stop before the beach, parking can be tricky during rush hours, staff was upbeat and the shop seems clean, will happily come back
OK, so I always get sidecar donuts. However, I had to write a review about this particular donut because it was so disgusting. I almost puked. I am not exaggerating. I got the apple pie caramel doughnut. That’s a special and the apple pie feeling part of it taste like someone…
Best donuts so far! We found this place just thinking of having some sweet in the morning and we love it so badly that return twice before leaving Santa Monica. What have in this donuts? We try six options and we love it all (and this never happen)! They are simply so good,…
