I've come down to Baja CA for both work and vacation. The first time I tried these donuts, I was…read morein a meeting a few years ago. As soon as we walked into the room, the sweet smell of donuts filled the air and in the box, I saw an Oreo donut, peanut, several sprinkles, glazed, M&M, chocolate, strawberry, lemon, cinnamon - the list goes on. When I bit into it for the first time, I was amazed at how soft the dough was and how it was unlike any donut I had at home. I appreciated how the level of sweetness was not overbearing and I was reminded of the donuts I use to eat when my family lived overseas. When I brought some home, my hubs and sister they gobbled them up and were shocked to find that Hollie Bollen does not have any stores in the states. Now, whenever my friends from Baja come to visit, I beg and beg for them to bring me a box. Please please please please open one in San Diego!

The girls there are so sweet and will make sure your drink is just right. I had the iced cafe de olla, and the white chocolate mocha, I like the fact that it's not saturated with sugar, it still has that smooth coffee taste. I'll be back when I come on vacation!

The coffee was on point, it didn't need too much to make it good. I just ordered a regular hot "Cafe del día" . I enjoyed experiencing this cute little spot. It had a second floor with a lounging area. We didn't stay long but overall, II had an outdoor deck/balcony area to lounge, it had a sort of tropical vibe to it. The music was not overpowering at all, smooth and gentle . I do recommend this spot if you're in the area.

Absolutely loved this local hole in wall strip mall donut shop. So many options!…read more 2 amazing Asian women busting their butts. The line was long but moved quickly! Donuts, pastries, breakfast sandwiches and coffees galore. My favorite was the cinnamon roll and chocolate cake donut. I forgot to grab the massive chocolate chip cookie.

There was only a couple people in line when we got there and we were helped pretty quickly. We ordered 2 country style everything bagel sandwiches, 6 donuts. I enjoyed the bagel sandwich-good crispy bacon, fluffy egg and cheese-but wished I would have asked for some spice! The donuts seemed like donuts to me. Haha. But maybe I didn't try the right one...maybe next time we are in the area I will try Vietnamese iced coffee.

Great service by Aadan!…read more Came with a small kid who he offered some Sidecar stickers to. I know that's not a thing to hand these labels out but every kid loves stickers! I was also debating the size of chocolate milk for my kid and ordered small and got confirmation from Aadan that small would be the ideal choice for kids. Excellent iced Banana Bread Latte. Couldn't detect any banana bread flavor to it but as someone who does not like standard "plain" lattes, it was good coffee! Kid inhaled a Vanilla Bean Glazed and I had the Blueberry Cheesecake doughnut (both yeast doughnuts) for lunch (yes for lunch!) and I usually do not like eating more than a quarter of a doughnut even as dessert. I was hesitant to get the Blueberry Cheesecake because I saw the giant blob of cream on top but it was more like whip cream than actual cheesecake and sweet enough to compliment a doughnut without being heavy and overly sweet like actual cheesecake. I also like the dollop of blueberry preserves on top. The yeast doughnut was plump airy goodness. We didn't need it, but I appreciate that this shop always has free cold water available for guests. This is one of my few Treat Yourself places.

Sidecar Donuts in Del Mar has completely spoiled me. Every time I visit, I'm reminded why it's one…read moreof my favorite dessert spots in North County. The shop is always spotless, the atmosphere is fun and energetic, and the staff is consistently warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable about their menu. What really sets Sidecar apart is the quality. You can tell they use top-tier ingredients, and every donut tastes fresh, handcrafted, and made with attention to detail. I've tried everything from their classic glazed donuts to their rotating seasonal specialties, and I honestly haven't had a bad one yet. Even the simpler menu items stand out because they're executed so well. Their creative flavors keep things interesting, while favorites like the Butter & Salt and Huckleberry showcase how good a donut can be when quality comes first. That said, my hands-down favorite is the Apple Fritter. It's crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, packed with real apple flavor, and finished with just the right amount of sweetness. Every time I visit, I tell myself I'm going to try something new, and somehow I end up ordering the fritter again. If you're in Del Mar and have even a slight sweet tooth, Sidecar is absolutely worth the stop. Great ingredients, incredible donuts, friendly staff, and a fun atmosphere make this one of those places you'll find yourself coming back to again and again.

For years and years, I have heard nothing but amazing things about this donut shop. I thought it…read morewas OK but nothing earth shattering. I decided to stop in at 11:30 AM on a Wednesday morning after a Pilates class nearby. They donuts selection was kind of sparse. I should've taken a picture of the rack because most of the places were empty. There is also a Matcha bar that looks like it's supposed to be set up off to the side, but was not open. We picked out two beautiful donuts, the Chocolate Abuelita and the Cajeta. The Cata looked really nice, but was very plain tasting. The Chocolate Abuelita was definitely better and I liked the Mexican hot chocolate cream in the center. I would give this donut shop one more shot, just because of all the great things I've heard about it from people whose opinions I respect. Honestly, though, there are so many donut shops in town that if I don't find it better the next time I probably wouldn't return.

This is not just a donut shop. This is a legacy…read more My husband grew up riding his bike all the way from Del Mar as a kid, risking life, limb, and probably traffic laws, just for a hot glazed chocolate donut. That kind of dedication tells you everything you need to know about these donuts. Decades later, our cousins drive them 3 hours to Los Angeles like precious cargo for the family to enjoy when they come to visit. A donut. 3 hours in a car. Still incredible. Some things are just built different. Our cousins are hero's! Only one complaint, they are not open late, which is truly a crime against everyone with late night munchies and poor decision making skills. The world needs VG Donuts at midnight. Someone please make this happen. We will be back. My husband's inner 10 year old on a bike absolutely demands it.
