This place makes the best sandwiches I've ever had!
Nicky P.

This place makes the best sandwiches I've ever had! Every bite is packed with fresh ingredients and amazing flavor. You can tell they really care about quality -- the bread is always perfectly soft or toasty (depending on what you order), and the fillings are super generous.

My favorite breakfast stop in Orange County. Always a must have when in the area

Always a must have when in Orange County, always stop when I'm in the area & need a quick breakfast bite. Great service.

Large iced coffee

Iced coffee is really good! At an affordable price. It gets pretty busy in the morning. People from all over come here. I got the iced coffee and jalapeño ham and cheese and that thing had a lot of jalapeños! Came out to $6.50 my 2nd time here and will return.

#13 bacon, egg, & cheese.

For a GREAT hidden gem . This is your new go to spot! Always friendly and cheerful staff. This one time I taught the old lady and gentleman behind the counter to use the apple pay and samsung pay feature lol. I come here for the flakey crispy, croissants. They are next level. This place was stumbled upon while looking for donuts. Miraculously being as I am, experimental. I wanted a ham and cheese. However, it was dawn. So, I opted for the choice with egg. Now when I mean mind blown... I SERIOUSLY MEAN MIND BLOWN!.... I used to have another spot for breakfast croissants as I'm sure you do. That can all be dismissed now having a hand full of delicious fluffy eggs, that complements the store bought ham, and gooey cheese and mayo. I recommend asking for "easy" or "light" mayo. If your a first timer. Then bumb it up a notch. Your taste buds will thank me. If all else fails, there's a huge variety of donuts, breakfast sandwiches, croissants, bagels, and specialty drinks if your not interested in the breakfast .

They cut the sandwich in half! How nice!

Walked by this cute little shop after dropping my car off at local shop for some maintenance. One of the owners (the wife) was there and she was so sweet. A real joy to talk with. Sam's has a variety of items available. I got 2 donuts and the turkey, ham, & egg croissant with cheese and jalapeños. All of it was less than $8, for great sized portions. The sandwich was delicious, and the egg looked fairly thick, and the cheese was deliciously melted and gooey! The donuts were fairly above your average. The vibe, atmosphere, and food definitely worth 5-stars!! I still have leftovers too!

Small little shop with friendly workers. The doughnuts were fresh, and the coffee was good. They also have sandwiches and bagels too.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Oliboli Donuts, but I was pleasantly surprised. Their…read moreyeast-raised, fermented dough creates a soft, fluffy, and airy donut that doesn't leave you feeling weighed down afterward. Every donut is fried to order so they come out fresh, warm, and so delicious! The donuts range from about $5.50 to $7 each - pricier than your average donut shop but the quality is evident in every bite. We waited about 8-10 minutes after ordering since there were a few people ahead of us, but the fresh-to-order experience made the wait worthwhile. My favorite was the Butter Pecan (not a flavor I'd normally choose). It had great flavor/texture and even had a hint of saltiness at the end of each bite . The Strawberry Glaze made with Harry's strawberries was another standout; fresh-tasting and flavorful without any artificial sweetness. Parking is shared with neighboring businesses. We visited on a Friday afternoon and had no trouble finding a spot, but the lot is fairly small and will likely get crowded during peak hours and weekends.

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!!

Stopped here to grab some ice cream from chocolate shoppe ice cream and while the ice cream tasted…read moregreat the experience was pretty horrible. When I searched on Google for ice cream near me- chocolate shoppe ice cream popped up then upon looking further I realized it was sold within duck donuts. Still ventured to try it Two guys working, one said he was new, and didn't know where all the flavors were / allowed us to try some b4 we ordered but was a pain bc the flavors were spread between two freezers in front of store and whatever was in the back. Placed an order for 3 double scoop cups (all they had) and took a really long time to make them having to figure out where the flavors were between the front and back of store. Then. They didn't have lids to cover them or a bag to put them in - so we literally covered each cup with another cup and put in a box I had from Costco in my trunk to get them home without dripping everywhere in my car. And I say dripping everywhere bc by the time he finished the last cup/. The others were melted from taking so long. They should probably just stick to donuts if they can't fully support the ice cream products. If I knew now/ I wouldn't have chosen to try there for ice cream. Very unfortunate, bc we probably would have loved the ice cream - but the experience clearly trumped the product.

I usually love coming to sidecar because of their delicious donuts but I was very disappointed…read morewith the service I received today. It was 10 min before closing & idk if the girls were just rushing to close down but one girl in particular had an attitude. There was a miscommunication / misunderstanding with the girl who took my coffee order (I had assumed the seasonal banana latte came with the foam as pictured & because she didn't ask if I wanted the foam, I didn't ask for it more-so bc she asked if I wanted the brittle on top). When they handed me my drink it was a plain banana latte with no foam or brittle. I was ignored when I tried calling for the barista until another girl followed up - however this girl had an attitude. She told me that I must not have ordered it since they ask at the register if I want foam with brittle. Explained they didn't ask. Instead she just said "sorry I'll let them know for next time". And walked away leaving me with my drink as is. Didn't offer any sort of resolution. I walked in and asked they could charge me extra for the foam. The same girl with the attitude remade my drink and handed it to me. No thank you, no sorry, nothing. First time experiencing this kind of service. Not sure if the girl is new but saw someone else share a similar experience couple days ago. Wish I would have asked for her name!

Really good! I've been here many times but I realized I've never reviewed this place. Of all times…read moreI've been here, it's no question a 5 star. The donuts were really fresh and hot when we got them. My wife loves the butter and salt one and it's absolutely perfect! The saltiness balances out with the richness and sweetness. I also ordered the golden hour grey, which was the seasonal flavor, and it was really unique. It was citrusy and light. Sidecar is definitely in it's own league and its tough to find other donuts to really compete with them. The store was pretty small with very limited seating at this location so it's more of a grab and go type of location. It's not too far from the beach though. Service was really efficient. Even if there was a line, it goes by quite quickly. It's worth it anyways!
