    If you like creative and original you have to try Sidecar! They are a little expensive for donuts but they are so worth it. If it has rosemary or elderflower, trust me, get it.

    Great donuts and great coffee. Throw in some outdoor seating and friendly staff and this is one of the best donut places I've ever been to. Keep an eye out for special flavours that change seasonally

    First time for me to be here, like some of the doughnuts, but for me, I'll never comeback again. For people who want to come here, I advised the to take those 2 doughnuts in pictures. Have fun 🌹

    Warm and fresh doughnuts (they have gluten-free too!). The GF flavors rotate weekly (check their website for flavors). They also serve Stumptown coffee!

    everything here is solid but... after a thorough sampling the real winners are green eggs & ham, salt + butter and the creme fraiche w/ seasonal fruit.

    Simply the best donuts in OC. Well worth the extra money you'll spend on them. My favorite is Green Eggs and Ham...a savory doughnut with a perfectly cooked egg in the middle. Genius!

    Small and cute shop in the Highlands upper plaza. Tried huckleberry, butter & salt, and basil benedict. The benedict was unique and savory. Huckleberry was too almond-extracty for my taste.

    Amazingly good cake = fantastic doughnut, no matter the flavor you choose. But the flavors... !!! Also, stump town nitro cold brew coffee. Yum!

    Holy hell, their doughnuts are perfect. Light and airy on the yeast risen, dense and sweet on the cake doughnuts. Pair one with Stumptown coffee or house-made soda.

    Amazing! I loved the lemon cream one and the cinnamon sugar one was good cause it was a spiced cake and not just plain with cinnamon coating.

    There are no better donuts on the planet. Can't go wrong with the huckleberry, maple bacon, and butter & salt.

    Came here for the pumpkin donut. I honestly probably liked the whipped cream more than the donut itself, but I’d definitely recommend this place. Very cute also

    There Thai Iced Coffee is honestly fantastic! Their seasonal Pumpkin donut was the perfect amount of pumpkin-y and sweetness. ☕ 🎃 🍩

    Cinnamon crumb and huckleberry are delicious. Maple bacon is tasty but a tad too rich for me. Maybe eat half and save the other half for later!

    The doughnuts definitely warrant a visit for the skeptic & doughnut lover alike. You'll have to go to Europe for a great cup of coffee tho.

    Green eggs and ham doughnut. Oh yes. (Holding out hope that they will start offering coffee in china cups rather than just in paper.)
