Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee
701 East 2100 S, South Salt Lake, UT
Crema's Take
“This beloved South Salt Lake spot draws crowds for genuinely excellent donuts, particularly their signature butter and salt cake varieties that arrive warm and perfectly balanced. Fair warning: the popularity comes with operational growing pains and potentially long waits, so timing your visit strategically (and perhaps calling ahead) will significantly improve your experience. If you can navigate the chaos, the quality of their donuts—especially their cake and brioche options—justifies the hype, though the premium pricing means you're really committing to the specialty pastry experience.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

Overhyped I was so excited to try and good thing I didn’t stand in line forever because they were not great. Sorry sidecar, I really wanted to love you. Huckleberry and strawberry donut were so bland (not even a little sweet) Maybe I just got a bad batch?? The cinnamon crumb…
The best cake donut I've ever had. It was still a both warm when I got it. The butter and salt is good, but some salt on top might be good. It wasn't that salty. I also ordered the maple and bacon. It was good and had tons of bacon sprinkles. Pricey, 6 for $25. I ordered…
This place is worth the hype! Maybe not worth the money, though ($25 for 6 donuts). The donuts, both their cake and brioche varieties, are unbelievably good. They do a great job of balancing sweetness with actual flavor. Each donut tasted unique, unlike other shops where it…
