    Super friendly and love the samples they have sometimes. Donuts keep coming out fresh and the texture is just soooo delicious. They also have solid drinks. Parking is what can be a pain since both businesses are popular that share the lot. They have oat, almond, coconut for milk substitutes!

    I came on a Thursday around 6 after work and the parking was PACKED! It shares a small parking lot with Howlin Rays so take into account busy hours. I had to circle the lot a couple of times waiting for someone to leave. When I got in I was greeted warmly by the workers and the sweet smell of donuts. I came just for the mango sticky rice donut and was glad they still had them later in the day. The donut was good light and surprisingly not too sweet.

    Mango sticky rice donut. Seasonal.

    I only come here for one thing--their chocolate donut. It's not your average donut shop donut either. It has a light chew and pillowy texture, more like a chocolate bread than a donut. The best part about it is that its not too sweet. For almost $6 a donut, it is pricey but you can tell they use quality ingredients. If you are a chocolate lover, you need to try this at least once. I did and now I'm hooked! They were doing a BOGO free for their seasonal mango sticky rice donut. No comments on this as someone else ate this. Service here is always pleasant and friendly. The staff are always so warm and welcoming. There is a parking lot with free parking, but they share a lot with Howlin Rays so finding a spot can be nearly impossible during peak lunch hours and on the weekends. Parking is easiest in the mornings. Otherwise, there is street parking available. Minimal indoor seating and a handful of patio tables if you want to hang out with your pups outside.

    Iced matcha latte, butter & salt doughnut, maple bacon doughnut

    Visited Sidecar on national doughnut day. I ordered two doughnuts: salt & buttter and maple bacon. The butter & salt was a heavier cake doughnut vs the light and airy maple bacon doughnut. Both were delicious - depends on what type of doughnut you like. I also ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk, unsweetened. This helped balance out the sweetness of the doughnuts. The best part is new app members get a free doughnut and drink. If you're craving a sweet treat, drop by Sidecar next to Howlin Rays.

    So good! I tried three donuts first (mango sticky rice, cinnamon crumb, & glazed), and while I waited for my order, I tried the samples on the counter and just had to go back to get the butter and salt donut. I see why it's a favorite and I can't wait to go back for more!

    Oh snap I'm glad this place isn't that close to me. If it were I'd be 400lbs because I'd be here on the daily....it's that good! They are super friendly and the place is very clean. The app has a lot of fun perks too. I got a bitter and salt donut and it was so fluffy and fresh.

    This is a day after National Donut Day and seems like the Donuts were already bought up from yesterday. Although there was not much selection, I chose the six-pack at $29. Although it's more than I usually pay for donuts, I wanted to try these donuts just for the experience. Later in the day, I tried the old tashioned, which was super heavy in weight and seemed to fill me up on my first bite. I would say these donuts are the opposite of Krispy Cream and have worth their weight in dough. Service was just average, but the line flowed fairly quickly. There is patio dining and a Howling Ray's right next door. If you plan your day just right, you can have breakfast and lunch, back to back!

    Stopped by Sidecar for a quick break before another hour of driving, and it was a nice place to recharge. Aliyah, my server, was genuinely friendly and had such great vibes from the moment I walked in. I went with the Old Fashion doughnut (a classic buttermilk cake doughnut with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, finished with a light vanilla bean glaze) and paired it with an iced vanilla latte made with oat milk. It was a simple combo that hit the spot. The doughnut was moist with just the right amount of spice, and the latte was smooth without being overly sweet. Bonus points for the outdoor seating area. It's clean and tucked beneath a canopy of greenery. It's the perfect place to slow down, enjoy a coffee break, and mentally prepare for getting back on the road and staring at concrete for the next 60 miles.

    Ok, my favorite doughnut store making its debut in the 626! Was so excited to see Sidecar pop up in Pasadena - I used to drive to Costa Mesa and Fairfax just to get my hands on these doughnuts!! Although the location isn't the best, you can easily find street parking and walk over - or you can park in the tiny lot shared with Howlin' Rays if you are lucky. Doughnuts are always baked fresh, love that they are constantly changing, pairing up with other places, and having new cream top doughnuts for me to try. Overall, workers have been relatively friendly. Love my staples - but also a huge fan of their blueberry, lemon, celebration. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I will be back soon for sure! A few spots inside but you are more likely to find a table in the outdoor patio area.

    Dangerously delicious, proceed with caution. Cute aesthetic spot with some indoor and outdoor seating for a casual and quick treat/coffee. We arrived 10 minutes before closing and still had all of the options. Service is decent. The Apple Pan 10/10 (I believe it was seasonal, but OMG it was the perfect amount of sweetness, creamy, flaky, all the textures, and all the goodness you could ever want) Banana Bread Latte 9/10 My husband had the "old-fashion" and enjoyed it, my kids ate "the cookies and crème". Nothing went to waste :)

    A building that should say Doughnuts and NO Coffee

    The name of the place is doughnuts and coffee and time and time again i go in for a doughnut and a coffee and they are OUT OF COFFEE!!!! The employees are used to just selling espresso so they don't bother brewing. There are doughnuts i would want to come back for but not worth having doughnuts without coffee. They should change the name to DOUGHNUTS and NO COFFEE I would say start making some darn coffee, but forget about it. I'm not coming here anymore.

    (+) huckleberry (+) maple bacon Yay sidecar is in Pasadena! My favorite is the huckleberry donut because of the sweetness and how it has a tang but sweet from the berry taste. These doughnuts are more on the cakey side than light and fluffy. I prefer both but these are the best cakey doughnuts. They share parking lot with howlin rays, which means when Howlin rays is open, the parking is limited. There is parking on arroyo parkway. These are the best doughnuts in the area. There are other locations in Santa Monica and Costa Mesa to name a few

    Maple Pecan, one of their best sweet limiteds

I wanted something special that couldnt be found anywhere else which is also very picture-worthy. Luckily other reviews and pictures of donuts from this shop led me to going in person to check out the goods and placing a huge order. I was firstly looking at the online menu, and I couldnt find that giant donut, so i called to ask for help and clarify which one it was so i can get them. The person who answered the phone at the time was super helpful and even saved me a texas donut when i mentioned i was coming by in the next few minutes. When i arrived, i knew it was going to be special for the people im sharing this with. When ordering online, the one i wanted was actually marked as "Out of Stock" (Texas Chocolate), so i made a note that i wanted a different donut using another donut that was still available to order (Texas Glzed). When I received my 14 boxes, it was the correct one that I wanted substituted. They were nicely organized and it presented well. Theyre not stingy with the toppings either. You really get a good value out of it. The staff was really friendly too (why not? it smells wonderful inside). Definitely two thumbs up for me especially with large orders.

The donut itself was a bit dry but the glaze on top overall saved the donut. I know gluten free treats are often drier than normal so my expectations weren't too high. This is a cute little spot to sit down and chat with friends. The inside is super clean and the silverware gave a nice afternoon tea feel. I would definitely come back to try more of the goodies they have here! Hopefully next time I can try their breakfast items. They must be so good since they sell out quickly haha.
