One of my favorite go-to spots for donuts in LA! I particularly enjoy their cake donuts which…read moreconsistently have good flavor and textures. I got my free birthday donut here (sign-up and add your birthday in the app) and I got the Celebration Cake donut. The donut was sweet with a crispy glazed exterior and a soft and fluffy interior. It was also still slightly warm which I liked since it gave me the impression that this was freshly made. It did get a bit too sweet for me towards finishing the donut, so eating half at a time is honestly good enough. This is more of a grab-n-go type of spot, but I think they have some outdoor seating in front of the store. There's also parking which Sidecar can validate. I would highly recommend this chain and it's one of my spots I take visitors to. Also, if you download the app you can get a free drink and donut for your first time :)

Sidecar is supposed to be very special donuts and they do have a unique selection of donuts, but…read moreit not for me. I found their donuts to be stale and no fancy type is going to correct that. The place is super cute and very clean. The staff is fine, nothing to write home about. They really don't see too interested in the customers. But they are okay. Parking is pretty easy. What they do make well is coffee. I love dark black coffee and they have that and more and it is very good. Their prices are high-- I think too high. They do have a decent selection on hand. I would go there for coffee, but I won't bother with their donuts anymore. I really hope they work on making sure all donuts are fresh. Their cornbread is good. I have a friend who wanted to try them so we went back and I still found them stale tasting, but great coffee.

This Santa Monica location is located in the hippest part of Santa Monica. [Parking]: There's a small parking lot behind the cafe, but it was completely packed and I just ended up finding a metered parking spot a block away from the cafe. [Atmosphere]: The cafe has one of the sleekest modern looks out of all the cafes I have visited and honestly this cafe is the epitome of LA cafe culture. The indoor tables were all occupied, but there were plenty of outdoor tables to sit at and watch people walking their dogs. [Ordering]: There was a waiting line, but our party only waited about 5 minutes. While our drink was ready in 10 minutes, I didn't hear my name called for the avocado toast. Apparently, the avocado toast was ready and it was sitting at the counter right next to the drink counter. Since our party sat outside, I simply didn't hear my name called. [Menu]: The top highlighted items to order here are Avocado Toast, Banana Cloud, Matcha Squared, and Strawberry Fields Matcha. *** Medium Banana Cloud Latte (creamy, nutty, spiced - made with fresh bananas, vanilla bean and banana cloud top, secret sauce, espresso or ceremonial matcha, cinnamon - ceremonial matcha $7.30): I couldn't taste the matcha at all, but the drink somewhat lived up to expectations as it had a strong banana taste. Personally the drink was just a tad sweet for me, but if you wait until all the ice melts then the sweetness should be about right. La La Classic Avocado Toast (avocado mash, chili flakes, lemon zest, cilantro garnish - cut in half $12.50): It was one of the nicest-looking avocado toasts. Generous with the avocado, but the toast was cold. I actually liked the chili flakes as they gave the toast an extra spicy kick. *** Overall, this is a really nice spot to have a first date or just sit on the outdoor patio and relax, but there are better spots in LA for drinks. A solid 3.5-star and the avocado toast was memorable, but bumping down to 3-star due to inconvenient parking and mediocre service and drinks.

My wife and I were having a party for my little girl's birthday and looking for a dessert to hand out and we came across Beach Town Pops. We spoke to Ashley over the phone who was extremely helpful. She was amazing in helping decide which style of popsicles and how many we needed. At our event the pops were catered in a cool retro cart/ freezer and arrived on time, everyone loved them! We loved how well organized and professional the whole catering process was from start to finish. Couldn't have had a better experience! read more

We hired Beach Town Pops for a summer party and the ice cream flavors were out of this world. The flavors are so unique and unlike others you would find going to an ice cream shop. Everyone at the event kept coming back for more. The staff were super friendly and enjoyable to work with as well. We also had boozy popsicles at our event and we really haven't seen anyone doing something like that before. Overall the product is very well made and you can tell the time and care put into this artisan ice cream. Thanks again! read more
