Hands down, the best donuts ever. No contest…read more I've been a customer since this shop opened in 2013 (I believe around this time). My cousin (who briefly worked there) brought my brother and I when we were 13 (me) and 15 (my brother). We got to eat donuts all day. One of my fondest memories with my cousin. Anyways, I've gone many times over the years and always recommend Sidecar to everyone I come across (if donuts come up in conversation). I went yesterday as well and my gosh, the quality has not changed! Sidecar always amazes me and whoever I bring. They live up to the "hype." In my book, they make the best product, period. Their huckleberry donut and choc-o-lot are absolute classics. Their seasonal pumpkin cinnamon roll donut was great as well. Their staff is always friendly and attentive. 10/10 recommend.

Visited this location for the first time a few weekends ago! It's such a cute little shop, and they…read moreeven had a free sample of the Chocolate Celebration Ring (a chocolate doughnut with sprinkles) to try while deciding what to order. I usually prefer yeast doughnuts over cake doughnuts, but these doughnuts were not dry or heavy at all. I ended up ordering the Butter & Salt doughnut and an Americano with brown sugar sweetener and huckleberry cold foam, while my husband ordered a plain cold brew. We waited outside by the pick-up window after ordering. Service was fast for the doughnut and my coffee, but they seemed to forget about my husband's cold brew, so I had to ask about it after a few minutes of waiting. Not a big deal, just was surprised it took so long when it was such an easy order! We both enjoyed the buttery/salty doughnut, and my coffee was delightful! However, my husband said the cold brew was just okay and it was packed with ice to the point you couldn't stick the straw in the lid. Overall, our first experience at this location was good, and we'll definitely be back to try more of Sidecar's delicious doughnuts! Might pass on the cold brew though!

I make 3 AM runs from Fullerton down to Newport just for their Thai Tea with my boyfriend or by myself when I get stressed from school. Because they are located right by the beach, I can get pastries and just sit by the shore for hours listening to music and watching the sun rise. It's such a vibe! Please support them and tip whenever you can! 10/10 Vietnamese nostalgia approved!

I had the raspberry jelly-filled doughnut and green thai tea, but I found both to be just barely too sweet-- but then again, that's coming from the person whose ideal dessert is "not too sweet." Overall love this place!!

The owner was SO sweet -- genuinely one of the nicest people ever. She had the warmest energy and made us feel so welcome, even though we were clearly in goofy late-night mode. The worker there was just as kind and patient. They were both super generous and didn't rush us at all. You can tell they really care about their customers and take pride in what they do. The food was amazing. The ham and cheese was warm, creamy, and perfectly balanced, exactly what we needed. And the old fashioned donuts were so good; crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not overly sweet. Everything tasted fresh. The ambiance was so cute and nice, made me feel like home with the lighting and cleanliness. Honestly, the service is what makes this place special. The kindness alone would make me come back, but the donuts being that good just seals it. If you want great donuts and even better people, this is the spot.

I've been coming here for about four years because it's close to home, and I've brought my son here…read moremany times as well as purchased dozens of donuts for birthdays and my team members at work. Unfortunately, after my last two experiences, I will not be returning. On my previous visit, we ordered bagels with cream cheese and received barely any cream cheese. When I politely asked for more and offered to pay for it, the interaction was uncomfortable, but I decided to give the shop another chance. Today, my son specifically asked to come back for a donut and bagel. We were the only customers eating inside. Shortly after receiving our food, an employee began mopping the very small dining area with a strong Pine Sol solution. The door were open, there was no air conditioning, and the chemical smell became so overwhelming that I told him I was having difficulty breathing and asked about it. Rather than simply waiting until we finished eating, he argued that other customers like the smell and that no one else complains. Eventually he said he would stop while I was there, but by that point the entire interaction had become unnecessarily uncomfortable. Other employees were also speaking loudly from the back, and the overall atmosphere made my son and me feel extremely unwelcome. I don't expect perfection, and I'm usually very understanding about service issues. But customers should be able to sit down and finish their food without strong cleaning chemicals being mopped around their table, and a reasonable concern should be met with courtesy rather than an argument. After supporting this neighborhood business for four years, including larger purchases for my workplace, it's disappointing to say I won't be returning or recommending it. There are simply too many other places where customers are made to feel welcome. Please note: this is a VERY polite version of what happened. This was an awful experience. I will never recommend this business and definitely will not return.

On my last visit, I got the zucchini bread. I really like their zucchini bread because it's really moist and not too sweet. Each order comes with 2 slices for $5.75 plus tax. The zucchini bread tasted good, but it fell apart pretty quickly, so I think I may have gotten a batch that wasn't baked properly. When I do get donuts, I usually go for the chocolate Long Johns or the custard malasadas. Both are tasty!

So I stopped in to get an iced coffee, a strawberry smoothie, and a variety of donuts. I'm a little bummed that the donut holes didn't taste as fresh as I would like.

So that stole the show and made it pretty good.

There are benches across the window so you can kind of hang out there or walk up/down the fun little street while enjoying your treats which are served in separate paper boats for easy handling. Service was great. You can either order from the window or order inside but that's probably more for ice cream. Service was quick. I ordered from the window and they made your banana right in front of you. Then you pay. Easy peasy. Although both places I tried were excellent, I prefer Dad's because: 1. Banana came in different sizes. 2. The banana was more ripe and sweet. 3. They had a better variety of toppings/coatings like almond, granola, and coconut. But the butter brickle topping that was so yummy! We don't have anything like this in the SF Bay Area so I was in heaven! I would come back here next time!

Shoutout to Gary and the Duck Donuts team!…read more I usually order Duck Donuts for team meetings on EZ Cater, maybe 3 dozen max at a time with 1-2 coffee buckets. I recently had a very large order and did 45 dozen (540 pieces!!) directly with the store. Gary was very quick to respond and helpful with the flavor reccs/modifications. We did: glazed, french toast, chocolate with chocolate sprinkles, chocolate covered strawberry, strawberry w rainbow sprinkles, and vanilla chocolate swirl. Day of, Gary was on time with the delivery (even with my last minute time change due to another delivery). Everything was accurate, fresh and carefully packaged. Duck donuts was such a hit! My favorite flavor is the French toast. Highly recommend!!

The donuts are all so beautifully made, colorful, and fun. I chose one of the seasonal flavors, Lime Pistachio. It's nutty, a little crunchy, tart, and sweet with a good balance of flavors. The donut is soft, chewy, and fluffy in the best way. I had no idea the donuts were vegan and I'm not vegan myself but they were so decadent. A very kind Japanese family owns the place. Service is very welcoming and friendly. The shop is a little hidden away by Red & blue vintage and Seabirds. Definitely treat yourself to one of their gourmet donuts next time you're out shopping here.
