This is a great place for a treat once in a while. I'm not a huge donut person, yet the Salt & Butter donut was warm and delicious. The almond milk iced latte was very good as well. The service was super friendly and fast. There's some seating outside, no seating inside. There's a free small parking lot directly adjacent to the store as well as a huge lot behind it. The store was clean and cool to have the open layout to see the kitchen. It's pricey with my donut and coffee coming to $12. I won't be coming regularly, but it's a fun treat or a place to bring an out of town guest. read more

I am disappointed with how my recent situation was handled. As a resident of Culver City, I typically shop within my community, and I visited the Culver City location last Thursday around 6 p.m. I purchased two donuts and a coffee, and I left without any issues. While in my car, I decided to eat the Crispy French Toast Donut. Upon taking a bite, I noticed a long hair inside, which was very upsetting. I returned to the store and was initially offered a replacement, but by that point, I had lost my appetite. The staff member called a manager to process a refund. I originally paid over $16 for the two donuts and coffee, but I was only offered a refund of approximately $10. Unfortunately, I did not receive any follow-up or further assistance, which was quite disappointing. It appeared that the issue was not addressed thoroughly, and I felt that my concerns were dismissed as insignificant. I hope my feedback can be taken into consideration to improve customer service in the future. read more

I've been a fan of Sidecar donuts since they were just in Costa Mesa so I am glad they are expanding. While I typically frequent the Santa Monica location, I like to visit this location for its spacious store and parking, which make popping in and out easier. Although the donuts are somewhat pricey, the quality and size justify the price. I usually opt for a half dozen so I can sample different flavors, though the huckleberry donut remains my favorite. The staff here are friendly and helpful, and the outdoor seating is a plus. read more

The Culver City Sidecar Donuts location is the most convenient for me location wise and it's small and cozy. The staff is friendly and was super helpful as I couldn't make my mind up and had been eyeballing the seasonal offerings. I went with the blueberry cheesecake and it didn't disappoint. The yeast donut was nice and airy and the toppings were well balanced. I do recommend eating this the same day it's purchased. read more

Words like exquisite come to mind. Sidecar's offerings are the Rolls Royce of donuts. They look amazing and taste amazing, too. I had the strawberry buttermilk there and took a French toast to go. The glaze on the strawberry buttermilk and the fry on the donut gave each bite a crisp edge that was really appealing, especially in contrast with the fluffy inside. These are not heavy doughnuts. Yum! The young lady who waited on us was terrific. She boxed my to go donut so it wouldn't get smushed and was really patient while my friend and I figured out what we wanted. They also serve coffee and have outdoor seating. There is also a free parking lot. The only downside to my visit is they were out of the Dubai chocolate option. I really wanted to try that one. Definitely recommended. read more

Sidecar is a small chain. The one we went to is in Culver City. It is never busy it seems and now I know why. The donuts are way overpriced and not very good. We ordered several, I am so glad we did not get a dozen. They just are not every good at all. They have flavors you may not find elsewhere, but that does make me them good. They are not. They are hard and the topping is bland. Parking is free in the mall lot where this place sits at the corner. This location is very clean and it is nice and comfortable. But that does not save their less than good donuts. They really need to start over with new recipes or hire a donut chef. I don't see this place lasting. It could be so good, but it is not and that is sad. The service is very nice and we appreciate that, but we won't be back. read more

Sidecar is a bit on the pricier side ($5-$8) but have fresh cake-like dough do-nuts! I do love their variety and seasonal options though and they always look so pretty! Service is always excellent and friendly and they are pretty quick to pack your order. The inside is usually super clean as well. I tried their millionaires shortbread chocolate donut during national donut day for $7-$8 and didn't really feel it was worth the price. The donut was fresh and had loads of chocolate pieces on top and a good amount of caramel dulce de leche inside, but nothing really stood out that would make me order it again. Although it does make for a pretty gift with the gold sprinklings! Their Vietnamese coffee didn't really give me the condensed milk punch that Lees coffee gives you, IYKYK, but it was decent! The cookies and cream donut was also around $8 and had a cream cheese taste inside, but again not really worth it. I think their classics around $4.75-$5.75 would be a much better choice and they have a great fresh selection! Also, definitely get their app for a free coffee and donut on your first visit and to collect points. Their choc-a-lot is pretty good along with their butter and salt, but again this isn't a Krispy Kreme donut, more of a cakey dough! I came in on Saturday morning to try their Benedict donut which is available daily until 11 am and it was pretty fresh! It had a nice runny egg, pesto seasoning, and prosciutto. The donut was warm, soft baked, wasn't overly sweet, a tad salty, but yummy! It cost $8 so it was pretty pricey but eggs these days are expensive soo I might come back to get this one again :) read more

Stopped here on a weekday afternoon to pick up a sweet treat and I was pleasantly surprised that the donuts that I picked up were still fresh and also service was really fast and friendly. This particular location also has its own parking lot so it's relatively easy to park in front but also a little bit more complicated if you're trying to get back onto Overland Avenue from the store. There are a few places inside to eat your donuts with a standing counter, as well as a few patio tables if you decide to eat in. Typically, it's best to eat a sidecar doughnut same day. They tend to not be as good or as fresh the next day on this particular occasion, I picked up a butter and salt, which is a classic flavor, great texture and moisture in the doughnuts and a really nice balance of sweet and saltiness coming from the donut itself. read more

No complaints here! We must've come on a good day cause the donuts were fresh and my matcha was delicious! Sure the donuts are a bit pricy but it's an experience and I like their menu.

While I was in Culver City, I saw Sidecar Doughnuts and Coffee and decided I needed to have some doughnuts there. Sidecar Doughnuts and Coffee is my first visit, and it appears like there are only a few doughnuts on display, with limited options. Wow! When the employee handed us some samples to try, Doughnuts are really soft, and the flavors fill your mouth immediately. Because I bought four Nothing Bundt Cakes, I only got two kinds of doughnuts here. Good doughnuts, and I will surely try different donuts next time I am in the area. read more

I'm a fan of Sidecar donuts in general because of their quality and unique flavors. My favorite is their OG famous one the berry donut. However all of their donuts are good and made fresh. I've been to this location a few times and employees are efficient and helpful. There are some samples sometimes and a water station. There is some outside seating. Parking is plentiful and free. A solid Sidecar location. The times I went it also wasn't overly crowded. read more

This location is especially convenient for me! It's on the way to work, there's a parking lot, and the donuts are delicious! I often drop by on my way to work to pick up a treat for my team. It has a great variety of flavors and even gluten free and vegan options. The seasonal flavors are always worth a try. The classic ones like huckleberry are consistently popular. The donut holes are sometimes my favorite because one donut is sometimes too big. The only downside is they're pretty expensive for just three holes. Lastly I wish they made more yeast donuts. The cake ones are good but sometimes too heavy! Pretty please! read more

Absolutely worth the price for these artisan donuts! I love when there's a cool collab or a protein donut on the menu, it never disappoints. I ordered my usual today; a butter and salt and a strawberry buttermilk. Because it's the nearing the end of the season for summer, we also ordered the peach filled donut, which was so delicious. It was the perfect amount of brown sugar topping without overdoing it. Both the butter and salt and strawberry buttermilk aren't too sweet and have a dense but buttery cake dough that melts in your mouth. The staff are always so kind and helpful, because there's so many options, and there's always free samples to taste before you make your selection! read more

Going to sidecar donuts as a treat. I don't go often, but whenever I do, I feel excited to get their specialty donuts. This time I had gotten the passionfruit doughnut. And for a drink, I got the mocha espresso. I went around 12 o'clock and it seems that some of their selection was gone. So it is best to go early. There wasn't that much waiting at the time I went though. read more

Sidecar is always a treat when I'm on this side of town. I'm a sucker for seasonal flavors. I recommend trying out their new seasonal flavors when they debut them. They had an apple cranberry sufiganyot this past Hanukkah that was delicious. One area this place shines in is that they offer both gluten free and vegan options, which your typical donut spot usually doesn't. I know these donuts are more expensive than the average spot so lemme share with you some ways to save money and still get your Sidecar fix: -Download the app. Seriously. When you first sign up you get a free drink and donut. Then you keep earning points to get free donuts. As you make purchases they'll load buy one get one free and 2x point offers into you account. -Download the Too Good To Go app. Many Sidecars are on here (including this location) and you can usually get 5-6 donuts for $7, when donuts are typically $5.75 each. Note that with TGTG you won't know what flavors you're getting so this is an option for someone who is open to being surprised. -Take the survey. Near the register there's usually a QR code to take a survey to win a box of 6 donuts for free. Last year, it used to be a free donut upon completing the survey but I'm not in a position to be picky. I haven't won a free box yet but it's worth a try. I just hope someday they open a Sidecar in the Valley because I don't only get my cravings when I'm in Culver City :( read more

I love the consistency of their donuts (more cake-like). Flavors delicious and not overly sweet. The variety is pretty nice too. The service is always friendly and quick. I do wish some of their offerings weren't day-specific because it's hard for me to get there some days. I'm very glad they had samples of their basil eggs benedict donut out because it was WAY too salty. It saved my husband from buying two. read more

Even though it's located at a busy crossing, I knew I had to try their vegan donut once my friend shared they'd have a rotating seasonal option. They only offer one vegan option at a time and this most recent visit was their Vegan Affogato with a light vanilla whip. I got to try a sample before ordering and am so glad I did. I went with this as my donut of choice ($6.50) and even though it's a bit pricey, I really enjoyed this delectable morning treat. The staff here were very friendly and overall was an awesome grab and go spot. read more

We were so looking forward to trying this place. We are donut nuts and we look for new places. Sadly this place is an epic failure. And that is sad. They just don't know how to make donuts. The place is super cute, was empty, it was also very clean. The service was very nice and we love that. They also have coffee. We did not have any so I have no opinion of that, it is just the ever so sad donuts. We bought several and they are way over priced. But they are pretty. We got them home and all went in the trash. They are not at all fluffy or tasty. They tasted stale and like old cake. The icing was lacking, so the donut had little flavor. Nothing could have saved them. There is no way that every donut we tried just happened to be stale, they were just not good. They are close to tough and just so boring. I really wanted to give them a good review. The 3 stars is a gift. We will never be back and again, that is sad. read more

I had one of the chocolate chunk donut, it was delicious! What I like about the donut is that the dough was very cake like. I thought that was unique. The cashier and people there were very nice, service was on point. It's not too crowded in the afternoon so seating wasn't hard to find, but there are a few seats given that it's a small space. Their small parking lot can be a problem since there's only a few space available. Your best bet is to park in the larger parking area next to the shopping areas. They have so many donut options, I wanna go back there and try their other ones! read more

After having been to many Sidecar locations around LA, I hadn't realized this one was here. This location is very spacious, has ample outdoor seating, and has a huge, free parking lot which makes it extra convenient. I ordered my usual Saigon Cinnamon Crumb doughnut (still hoping they bring back the blueberry someday) and tried a cortado. Their coffee isn't stellar, but does the job. Their doughnuts are where it's at, and this location is unsurprisingly up to par with their other locations. Super tasty doughnuts on the slightly pricier side, but very much worth it. read more

If you're looking for a higher-end donut experience, then you've come to the right place at Sidecar. The interior is clean and beautiful and feels more like a high end pastry shop than a donut shop. Service is very friendly and helpful. The donuts are laid out behind glass with little signs in front of them describing the donut and the key ingredients. They offer seasonal flavors that change regularly. On this particular Monday, the seasonal flavors was a Banana Cream Malasada. Yes, please! It was excellent. We also tried the old fashioned, the chocolate and the cinnamon. In all cases, the dough was more dense and less sweet or puffy than a more typical donut. If you don't like that, then it might be better to stick to Randy's (which we do love) Donuts and you'll also save some bucks. The Sidecar donuts are in a different category. The prices reflect that too. read more

Mom and Son day out included stopping in Sidecar to experience this establishment donuts. I'm 50/50. Let's jump right into this review. What did we have: 1. Passionfruit Palova - seasonal, bold flavor, true to the name. The cream on top was light and added a nice texture to doughnut overall. 2. Butter & Salt - daily flavor - son said it was alright - no other comment :( Doughnuts are a good size, and you get that doughy taste about halfway into your donut. Pros 1. Esthetically pleasing - clean lines inside, very modern. I like the display of the doughnuts. 2. Customer service was great. 3. The establishment was clean, including the display window, not a smudge. Cons 1. It's cashless. Any place that is cashless is a con for me. Cash is the simple, basic metric of our financial system outside trade. Not personal against Sidecar. I like options. Don't come for me, readers. 2. The parking lot is ridiculously crowded. Sidecar is in a shared shopping center that is busy. It's not impossible to find parking, but it can be a challenge. Overall, we had a good experience, but doughnuts are subpar. Sidecar is nothing to run and tell momma about, lol. Would we go back, yes! Sidecar supports national initiatives like National Suicide Prevention Week with Doughnuts Grams for Hope. Any business that uses their platform to bring awareness to issues that are problems in society - I support them. Thank you for supporting people. read more

Not sure why the specific location has a lower rating however, every time I go to this location, which is the only one that I've been to because it's near my house. I always have a great experience with the food and the staff. I'm not sure if each location carries different flavors however, this location switches it up seasonally and keeps the same basic flavors as well. My favorite flavor is salted butter donut, I'm not a big sweet person so this is a perfect balance for me. I also really appreciate that overall aren't super like a regular donut shop. I've tried the spiced tiramisu donut, which is their seasonal flavor and it was amazing. I asked the, several times if it was super sweet, and he assured me it wasn't, I was still on the edge about ordering it, especially being that it's about six dollars for a doughnut. I ordered it, and I was super happy with the level of sweetness, Sidecar Doughnuts definitely knows what they're doing. Now let's talk about the coffee! The coffee here is one of the best coffee I've had. I'm a coffee lover, so I've tried a lot of coffee and this is an amazing every day coffee, I'm so grateful it's close enough to my house. If you like coffee that has a type of toffee flavor this is the one for you. They also have Vietnamese coffee there which I've tried, which has less of a toffee flavor , however it's not the best Vietnamese coffee I've tried. I didn't think it would be that it's not a Vietnamese place. I get the caramel iced coffee or the caramel latte hot they both taste amazing. read more
