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!

They are able to accommodate a few different diets and there is signage indicating what has dairy and what's plant-based. They also offer gluten free sourdough bread for an extra $2 if you want that option for your toast. Their toasts are thicc! And they cut really easily with a fork and knife.

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.

Croissants were always warm right when you order it, and I enjoyed my slushy iced coffee.

I'd written you off years ago after having some horrible donuts but you must have refined your deliciousness and YOU ARE BACK! My kids picked me one up on my birthday and it was wonderful.

So I decided to order delivery of a dozen of the glazed AND a dozen of the "mixed" iced rounds. The mixed iced rounds come in 4 icing flavors and he doesn't like one of the flavors but I wasn't sure if they were able to make exceptions however, I made a special request in my online order not just to remove that flavor but to replace it evenly amongst the other 3 if available. I needed to leave this positive review because of the following: *They obliged my request in every way :) *The text communication about the delivery was fantastic *The delivery was extremely faster than expected *They were warm & fresh *They were neatly placed in the box along with a couple of the regular sized donuts that I "accidentally" ordered as well. :) It was just very professional and beyond what I would expect from a chain donut shop. Way to go Randy's!!!

Stopped at the drive-through right before heading to the OC Marathon finish line, and it went…read moresideways pretty quickly. Pulled up and sat there for a few minutes with no acknowledgment... no "be right with you," nothing. That alone has you second guessing whether anyone is there, whether you should just go inside, whether you should leave. Not a great way to start. We placed our order and as we were wrapping up asked if we could swap out a donut. Silence. Got to the window, workers were just moving at their own pace and didn't acknowledge us for about 5 minutes. When someone finally came over we asked again about swapping the donut and she said "oh I heard you before." So she heard us at the speaker and just... didn't respond. That's not a small thing. Donuts were ok, nothing special. The small black coffee kept leaking out the side... lid was on tight, coffee wasn't filled to the top, so something is off with the lids. Overall the service made it hard to enjoy anything about the visit.

I'm in love! Never had sourdough donuts, tried them here, and it's my favorite kind of donuts now!…read moreThe dough definitely doesn't taste sour at all, in fact it's super airy and fluffy. The actual donuts came out double times bigger than display too haha Blueberry glazed donut: fruity and not too tart, very balanced. Can never go wrong with this one if it's your first time Passion fruit fool: their seasonal, I love the tropical flavor! The jam and fresh passion fruit is super yummy Banoffe: I was scared the banana nuttiness will be too overpowering, it's actually not. Cream is light and not too concentrated. Ham and cheese: absolutely my favorite. Had a great cheese pull, comes with a mustard sauce that pairs well with the savory flavor. It breaks my traditional view on donuts. There are so many kinds I want to try still, so I will be back. Plenty seats inside and they do get busy and has a line. Signed up for their reward program and marketing so I can catch all their seasonal flavors. I think they refresh every month.

I would love to give this place a 3.5 or 3.75 but that isn't an option. I love love love their…read moredonuts. They are fresh and warm. I've tried the peach glaze, passion fruit, sprinkle, lemon, etc. all very good. The service is usually not too great as of lately. I'm not usually greeted and the vibe from the employees is very nonchalant. Almost like you're an inconvenience but not quite, as they aren't rude just aloof maybe. I also have come in once or twice when Worship music was playing, and that's not quite my vibe, but to each their own. It's their business, just thought I'd mention it. Lastly, I almost tried their coffee today until I saw alternative milk was $1.25 extra !! Their base prices for coffee and matcha are a little on the pricier side, I would compare it to a specialty coffee shop for pricing. I know that specialty coffee shops charge that much due to the grade of beans being higher and more expensive, so I'm wondering if they use higher quality beans as well to justify their price? Either $1.25 for oat milk was a total turn off for me, it seems a little greedy. Most places charge $.75-$1. The rewards system is not very rewarding as it is one free donut for every $100 you spend. Not sure I'll be coming back. Maybe occasionally when I'm craving a donut.

No matter what time I'm in the area, I can count on Seaside to satisfy a sweet tooth or coffee needs. The prices are hard to beat, too! One of my favorite items is the jalapeño, ham, and cheese croissant. They warm it up nicely when you order it, so it's flaky, and the cheese is warm inside. You can't go wrong with any of the classic or specialty donuts as well. They always taste fresh and pair well with hot coffee or hot chocolate. What a way to start a morning. They also offer blended coffees, smoothies, a few bagels, Thai and flavored teas, milk teas, and bottled beverages. They don't, however, offer breakfast sandwiches or other sandwiches. The staff is kind and attentive. This place gets busy in the morning and surprisingly late at night. There's parking in front of the sidewalk and a few lots around. Paid/metered parking begins at 8 am.

I was walking home from CVS on Baker and Fairview in the morning, and decided to stop in DK's…read moreDonuts to inquire if they made ham & cheese croissants. From past experience, the best ham & cheese croissants came from good ol' mom-&-pop donut shops and it had been quite a long time since I'd had one. To my surprise and excitement I realized this place is not just a donut shop but a hidden gem for savory breakfast "pastries" and sandwiches as well. Their ham and cheese croissants are quite large pillows-of-buttery heavy (yet delicate if that makes sense) dough soft on the inside, and beautifully crisp on the outside. It has that unmistakable, old-school donut shop magic--warmed gooey melted cheese, savory deli ham in a buttery & flaky croissant that sheds flakes into the bottom of the old school bag, and satisfying enough to carry you for hours. I ate half on the way home and was excited to eat the 2nd half the next morning. My advice...SKIP THE COMMERCIAL CHAINS AND SUPPORT THIS LOCAL SPOT if you desire a nostalgic legendary ham & cheese croissant - Perfection!

Honestly, I was hoping this place would not be good as the service was borderline unpleasant. I am sure if you become a regular they'd warm up to you. The doughnuts were pretty good. The bread was light and fluffy and not dry. They held up for throughout the day. The glaze and maple on the doughnuts were just right. Not too sweet, but enough to cure your sweet tooth. They didn't just taste like sugar. I appreciate this. This is definitely a spot I will go to again! Doughnuts 7.5/10 Service 6/10 Overall 7/10
