Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee
270 E 17th St #18, Newport Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Newport Beach destination pairs carefully crafted small-batch donuts with quality espresso drinks in an adorable, albeit cozy space that keeps locals and road-trippers returning again and again. Their cake-style donuts hit that elusive sweet spot between fluffy interiors and crisp exteriors, while the coffee holds its own—especially the lattes—making it the kind of place worth planning a stop around. Fair warning: their popularity means flavors can sell out quickly and the shop gets cramped, but the samples they offer and genuinely friendly service make the grab-and-go experience feel special rather than rushed.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

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.
Been wanting to come for at least a decade, but I don’t live in state. I was finally in town and close enough to stop by, and I was a bit disappointed. They were out of many flavors I wanted to try (not their fault), and the huckleberry doughnut had an aftertaste of dirty/tap…
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!
