Kristen AdamApril 10, 2016If 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.
Natasja GiezenDecember 26, 2013Great 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- AnnAugust 6, 2014"Sidecar Nights" Now open 'til 9 PM on Fridays & Saturdays. If you visit during regular morning hours on Fridays and Saturdays, keep your receipt and come back the same day after 4 PM to get $2 off!
Abdulrahman✅September 19, 2016First 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 🌹
LAMIANovember 23, 2018I was really impressed by the overall atmosphere of this little donuts shop.They’ve the freshest donuts you’ll ever have,with great flavors. Salty caramel 10/10😋cinnamon crumb&vanilla glazed are good
Sara AlShakerFebruary 9, 2015My favorites in order: 1. Butter and salt; 2. Cinnamon crumble; 3. The twist (glazed long twisted doughnut); 4. Huckleberry; 5. Double choco; 6. Coconut custard filled; 7. Lavender
Kyle OtaAugust 7, 2014Warm and fresh doughnuts (they have gluten-free too!). The GF flavors rotate weekly (check their website for flavors). They also serve Stumptown coffee!
Bryce RobertsOctober 18, 2014everything here is solid but... after a thorough sampling the real winners are green eggs & ham, salt + butter and the creme fraiche w/ seasonal fruit.
Terri HodgesAugust 13, 2014Simply 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!
Jenny NewFebruary 5, 2019Small 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.
Robert A.March 28, 2016Amazingly good cake = fantastic doughnut, no matter the flavor you choose. But the flavors... !!! Also, stump town nitro cold brew coffee. Yum!
JohnJune 21, 2013Holy 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.
Jase LaudadioFebruary 26, 2016Amazing! 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.
Niki GOctober 13, 2017Came 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
Justin ShepOctober 28, 2016There Thai Iced Coffee is honestly fantastic! Their seasonal Pumpkin donut was the perfect amount of pumpkin-y and sweetness. ☕ 🎃 🍩
Can't go wrong with any donut here. Everything is full of flavor and fresh. The Huckleberry and the butter & salt were amazing!
Obaid Al NuaimiOctober 4, 2022They really stand by the “Worlds freshest donut”. Huckleberry and Salted Caramel flavors are a must !
Serious EatsApril 22, 2014This doughnut shop makes flavors ranging from Huckleberry to Green Eggs & Ham, and almost all are winners.
Peter AnargirouSeptember 20, 2014Cinnamon 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!- You have to try the huckleberry and butter & salt donuts. You won't regret it!
Lucia AvilaMarch 11, 2016Peanut butter donut with banana in the middle and more peanuts on top! 10/10
Sam HendricksAugust 17, 2015Huckleberry and blackberry doughnuts were my favorite! And you can't ever really go wrong with maple bacon.
Jeanette GonzalezDecember 6, 2018Everything they create is amazing, highly recommend to anyone who wants an extra special treat
El DoostyApril 13, 2013The 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.
Andrew PalaciosJuly 28, 2013Got there 8:45am Sunday morning soldout of almost everything. Guy walks in after me three orders of to-go boxes... Guess to-go is where its at
Jake FarisDecember 19, 2014I don't really consider myself a doughnut person but I'll make an exception for this place, every time. Absolutely delicious.
Felix SalmonJune 11, 2013Green eggs and ham doughnut. Oh yes. (Holding out hope that they will start offering coffee in china cups rather than just in paper.)- Lisa HartmanDecember 26, 2015Fabulous melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. Excellent coffee. Possibly habit forming.
The blueberry donut is killer. Slight crunch, moist center and not too sweet.
Jef StarMarch 16, 2016The donuts are insane awesome, maybe best ever. Prices are crazy though. Prepare to send alot of $.
Travel Costa MesaAugust 7, 2013Not that you need a reason to visit Sidecar, the CMRW offer is a chef's special doughnut and a cup of Stumptown Coffee for just $5. Read more
Stan HartleyDecember 6, 2015Everything is really good, the only thing is I wasn't expecting the price for a doughnut.. I thought it was a little bit pricey
Great quality people and great quality doughnuts! You can't go wrong!
Sidecar Doughnuts & CoffeeDecember 19, 2012We're working hard to get our shop open at 270 E. 17th Street by mid-January. Thanks for your patience & support!
I never leave without a vanilla bean twist, they're delicious.
Kim CookMarch 11, 2015Donuts made fresh every hour nice and hot, coffee and donuts what could be better
Brian SchraderJanuary 19, 2016Donuts are extra special not normal. Also get pumped for the day with a nitro cold brew
TeresaAugust 11, 2013Maple bacon doughnut + Stumptown coffee = perfect Sunday morning snack...or everyday morning
