Crema's Take
“Sidecar makes genuinely excellent donuts—particularly their butter and salt cake variety, which people rave about warm—but the shop's popularity has created a operational mess that consistently frustrates visitors. Reviews repeatedly cite poor communication, disorganization, and inefficient service despite strong product quality, and at $25 for six donuts, you're paying premium prices for the privilege of dealing with a chaotic experience. Worth trying if you're in the area and can grab during a quiet moment, but don't expect the hype to match the reality of getting in and out smoothly.”
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…
