Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee

I am giving three stars because their donuts are tastier than most shops. But unfortunately, they got rid of all the donuts I like to eat, including the cookies & cream donut that was my favorite. They also had a vegan chocolate silk pie donut that was amazing, but only seasonal. I deleted my app and will not be returning until they bring the cookies & cream back.

Donut mind me… just eating some delicious donuts. This place is something else. We are @sidecardoughnuts in Santa Monica. We tried the following: Banana Bread Latte- Our Banana Bread Latte starts with our rich, smooth premium espresso, swirled with our house-made banana bread syrup, topped with your choice of milk (hot or iced) and a sprinkle of candied walnuts. Basil Eggs Benedict- Our Malasada-style doughnut filled with poached egg, Benton’s Country Ham, and a house made basil hollandaise sauce. Maple Bacon- Raised doughnut topped with pure Vermont Maple Syrup glaze and crispy, all-natural bacon. Butter & Salt- Vanilla bean cake doughnut with brown butter glaze and fleur de sel. The latte taste just like banana bread!! I love it. The eggs benedict donut is so different than anything I have ever had in a very good way. It was salty, eggy, savory, and eggcelent. I have a picture of it cut in half for you to see! The bacon on the maple bacon was really good quality. It had great maple flavor as well. We got the butter and salt to get a fairly basic donut to really taste the dough itself. It is great. They were all fresh and the shop has such an intoxicating aroma.

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 poured bleach in it. It is so nasty. It just tasted like chemicals.

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, that you want to get more and more. I believe the secret is on the freshness, they made a few minutes before we eat. They have two in special that we thought so crazy and different that we had to try: basil eggs Benedict and passion fruit pavlova… OMG! Just try it!
