    On our last morning in OB, we walked our friend's pup down to OB Donuts. This is a classic donut shop, nothing fancy, just good. The employees at the counter were helpful and smiley. The bagel sandwiches were had were again, nothing fancy, but fresh, hot, and tasty. We grabbed a couple donuts for good measure and they were tasty, too. And the friendly employee tossed in a few donuts holes as a bonus!

    OB Donuts is the OG, that's the way it should be, do ya feel me!?! The Lox bagel is such a solid way to start the day. The first bite of the glazed donut made me remember why people love donuts. The bagel BLT left us wanting more! The family staff is super kind and gracious. I will always rep OB Donuts.

    Very fresh donuts, large variety, many choices. Great service and friendly people too.

    dozen donuts, couldn't keep people away fast enough!

    Got a dozen of these, everyone at work loved them. They are not the fancy type donuts with specialty flavors and what not, but for your standard donuts shop they are one of the best. Very soft yet a little dense, they are moist inside and have a little crisp outside. For standard donuts they are the one of the best, tied for first I think. Friendly staff, they even threw in a few doughnut holes when I got a dozen!

    This place has been a favorite since living in the OB/Point Loma area. Now that we've moved we make a point to come back and partake of a local business. Although donuts are in the name, it's the bagel sandwiches you want. The #4 double sided breakfast bagel is so good. If you're wanting something lighter, the #6 is a modest tomato on bagel with seasoning. The people are always friendly and nice- sometime we would roll in at 11am and there are still donuts to choose from. It's quaint and small- they accept credit cards now and have iced coffee! The "OB Special" is Vietnamese coffee soooo good.

    MUST TRY!! Unassuming spot that sells the BEST donuts. I lived in the neighborhood for two months and had a donut almost everyday. All the donuts are so fluffy! The place is cash only.

    Best breakfast ever! The service was genuinely so sweet! I am very happy with my experience!

    This place is a gem! The guy working who I'm guessing is the owner is so nice and threw in a couple of donut holes for free. We had the #3 breakfast sandwich and grabbed a few donuts. They were so fresh and light and absolutely delicious. It's cash only and dog friendly.

    Consistent quality in really fresh soft and chewy donuts. We typically get a glazed twist, which is our favorite as well as a chocolate twist, which I wish I had glazed on it as well. The blueberry scone is always amazing because it has tons of blueberries, a nice crust, and not too sweet. This morning, for the first time since I've been going here for years, there were no donut holes given with our order, which they usually have. Not sure if OB donuts stopped giving to 3 free donut holes with every order or if it ran out this morning.

    Standard little unassuming donut shop with a myriad of fresh pastries. The gentleman working the counter (which he may have been the only one there, it's a small place, so I can't imagine there being a whole crew) was SO sweet & friendly. It was hard to pick what I wanted.. so naturally I just got a little bit of everything, and just like others Yelpers mentioned, he threw in some free donut holes. The blueberry scone was equally as good and blueberry-packed as everyone else has said, so I won't spend much time on it, but you should absolutely get one if you like blueberries. Perfect light texture. Not too sweet. Just delicious. Not picture - strawberry cream cheese danish. Wow. This is thing so flaky and delicate but doesn't crumble ON you? Don't know how they pulled that off because that's a feat in and of itself. The ham and cheese croissant -- mother of god that thing is a beast! It should be its own unit of measurement. It's SO good. I got mine warmed, and ate some of it out front of the shop, and honestly I think my day is better because of it. The flakiness & butteriness, yet somehow still light, is pure magic. Whatever cheese they put in it (definitely not Swiss, maybe white American?) is super creamy. 12/10, definitely stop in!

If you walk past The Melt, which is right down the street from Sidecar, there are plenty of shopping options, grocery stores, and other places to explore. I've always been around this plaza and have wanted to try Sidecar, but unfortunately my experience wasn't the best. The staff wasn't the friendliest, and I felt like you had to know exactly what you wanted right away. It was also a little confusing figuring out where the line started because there were so many people gathered around the donut display, and there wasn't really a clear line. They do have samples available, but it's somewhat hidden on the far left side near the kitchen counter. I'm not sure why they don't have it more visible for guests, but I was able to try their blueberry donut, which I thought was really good. The texture was amazing and the donut itself was super soft, but I did feel like it was a little too sweet with the amount of sugar and icing. Overall, I think the donuts are good, but I'm not sure I would come back. At around $5 to $6 per donut, it's definitely on the pricier side. It's a nice treat if you're already in the area and want to stop by, but I would hope that my next experience would be better with the staff and that the layout of the shop would feel a little more organized.

    What a cute boba spot. So happy they finally have one in San Diego and so close to my house…read more I love the ambiance of the place. It's super cute, pink and clean. There is no customer service as everything you order is through the kiosk, which is fine. The drinks come out quick which is a plus. I did pay extra for the cute surprise toy. I can't wait to come back and try other drinks and their mochi dough. Thanks Mochi Dough for a fun first time.

    FOR THE WIN!!! (4.75 stars)…read more I love donuts. And I tend to stick to basic classical donuts. And therefore I am late to the trend with the mochi donuts! This location is inside Bober Tea and Coffee. There is a glass casing with several flavors to choose from and they sell at $3 a piece. The one that stood out to me was the chocolate with sprinkles. Upon receiving it in a paper pocket bag, the icing was rubbing off on the bag. That immediately told me this is super fresh! I could already feel the softness of the donut. The little sectioned off ball looking segments of the donut are also a game changer when it comes to eating - easier to eat without making a mess! The texture was bouncy, soft, lightly chewy and a little stretchy... the texture was fun and I found myself wanting another afterwards. I do wish they had offer other flavors that don't sounds too sweet because the other flavors didn't really catch me. Until the next review...

The bacon maple still had an amazing texture and we loved how fluffy and satisfying the dough is made but I wasn't a fan of the bacon fat taste with the maple even though I usually like a sweet+savory combo.

The fluffiness reminded me more of a beignet and brioche. Will be back to try more flavors! 5/13- We returned for more. These were made to order and topping to dough ratio was too much. Maybe they were being generous, but they were overly sweet today. Bourbon Caramel, Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon, Blueberry Hill, Mango Margarita and Turtle Cheesecake. All great flavors, just too much of it.
