Great donuts as always. But the staff here are not as friendly as the team at the Torrance shop..

Becky K.

I want to start off this review by acknowledging the staff. They were some of the friendliest staff members I have seen at any place of service ever. We were greeted by a sample donut, given the tip to download the app for savings, and great recommendations. We took a bunch of donuts home for the weekend. I had the chocolate celebration, traditional glaze, and old fashioned. All delicious. Download the app for a free donut and app on your first visit.

Strawberry Buttermilk Doughnut

Yummy doughnuts with a creative twist! They had me at maple bacon and strawberry buttermilk! They were warm, soft and rich with flavor.

Passionfruit and matcha latte

Hands down the best donuts I ever had!! For years, I thought that I was just not a fan of donuts...it turns out, I just liked high quality gourmet donuts! Sidecar donuts are made from quality ingredients (that you can taste) and their donut bread is no exception and has a nice weight to it that you feel satisfied and even full after just one donut (at least for me). This is pretty important for me as I value high quality bread after living in FR. Their flavors are also fantastic! My favorite is the pavlova passionfruit! The location in manhattan beach is clean and not too busy, although it has limited seating. They have such friendly staff and I was greeted upon coming in and was told to have a nice day upon leaving! I have since back several times and have gone through alot of their flavors. I even signed up to be part of their rewards program. That's a true sign that I love this place! Definitely recommend!!! I even came back after just few days to try their mango sticky rice flavor!

I LOVE SIDECAR!! Its absolutely one of the best donut places ever! Its my go-to sweet treat whenever there is a deal (download the app for coupons occassionally). The flavors are great and really unique which i like. They have a seasonal weekly flavor and the service is always nice. It has plenty of parking and there's seating on the inside. I also really like how there are samples if you go in the morning which has persuaded me to try some new flavors I wouldn't have gotten. Yes its a bit pricey, but definitely worth it as the taste is amazing. My only feedback is on Too Good to Go orders. PLEASE allow there to be a separate non-meat/vegetarian option. Since if you order through the app, sometimes they may have a maple bacon donut which I don't eat meat so anything that donut is touching I also throw out which is a waste.

Fresh hot donuts at 7pm.

Sidecar if I could give you 10 stars I would. Between the cleaniness and customer service . I am overwhelmed. Special mention Sherman his customer service is top notch. The overall vibe cleanliness was top tear . Again service above and beyond. Thanks sidecar.

Butter & Salt-Very unique flavor-Sweet & Salty with light crisp outside-8.9/10.0 item

So after a whirlwind of a day 1 on my 36 hr foodie trip to SoCal with my mother and 2 siblings-we decided to start Day 2 at a donut shop my brother had been telling me for weeks about this spot that was the best donut shop he has ever been-to which I always just rolled my eyes thinking "yeah right".Ive been to places-I've visited some of the best donuts shops in America-I always make it a point to find the best donut shops when I go to various cities within my travels-so yeah I didn't take his claim too seriously but I was definitely open to check it out-we headed to Sidecar Doughnuts in Manhattan Beach as soon as we woke up. This shop is located in a multi tenant shopping mall on N Sepulveda Blvd-so parking is plentiful-a true breeze. When we got in the shop I could tell this was not your everyday small town donut shop-there was a certain elegance to the design,the menu,the presentation and the donuts themselves. I also liked that they had a sampler donut out so a newbie customer like myself could try out their treats before deciding what to go with. These donuts aren't cheap by any means-they are going to cost you anywhere from $4.50 to $6.00 each-but this is one of those occasions where you truly get what you pay for-higher quality donuts come with higher prices and they are worth every penny. After a quick look at their impressive unique offerings we decided to go with the following donuts. Huckleberry-This donut was served warm and had a clean authentic flavor of huckleberry glaze with little bits of huckleberry infused-nothing artificial here-a true standout of a donut-9.3/10.0 item Butter and Salt-This may be their flagship donut,though huckleberry may give it a run for its money-This is a must try-great twist between sweet and salt with a light crisp exterior and super soft inside-this one surprised me-truly addictive with it's simplicity -8.9/10.0 item Magic Charm-This truly was Lucky Charms in donut form-talk about nostalgia in a donut-the glaze offers the milk flavor and the cereal toppings come in hard with the Lucky Charms topping-awesome trip down memory lane with this donut-8.7/10.0 item This trip these were the 3 I tried-others in the family tried others but I didn't get a chance to try em-so will leave rating those for next time. In closing-I hate to admit this,but I think my personal " Donut Wars" are over-in my opinion Sidecar Doughnuts is the best donut shop around and if you ever find yourself in the area and get a chance to try out their treats-Do It-In fact change your plans to get there-it's so worth it. PS-I wonder what they could do if they tried their hand at a maple bar one day.....

We actually came here twice on our two day trip to LA, it was that good! It was our first time trying Sidecar for all of us and we were all sold on the lm, especially my gluten free niece since it's hard to find freshly made GF donuts in our home town. We liked them so much that we made a special trip on the way to the airport to buy 6 packs to bring home.

A 10 out of 10, every time. I can't get enough of Sidecar. The donuts are divine, and worth every penny. I've enjoyed them on the spot or else the next day - keep them in the fridge to ensure freshness. Also, I so appreciate the samples! There's usually a few options left out for nibbling. The one negative is that they close at 7pm, and my craving always hits hardest around 7:15pm. Sigh!! Sidecar is in a popular plaza near BOA, Sushi Roku, a smash burger, and Bank of America. Plenty of free parking available all around.

The donuts here are delicious! They have so many unique options which I love! On Mother's Day, ordered over 2 dozen donuts (about $130). It's more on the expensive side but nice for an occasion if buying a lot. I would come back for a single donut as a sweet treat The service is quick and they helped me check out smoothly

Not busy at all on a Friday afternoon! Was able to find parking, walk, order and receive my order all in about 10 minutes. Got an apple fritter (only available on Fridays) and a Vietnamese iced coffee! The person who helped me was kind and quick. They informed me that if you download their app you get a free donut and coffee on your next visit! Inside is quite cramped and there is only 2 tables outside for seating so keep that in mind if you plan to stay here to enjoy your doughnuts. Apple Fritter was great! Not as crispy as I normally like but the inside was very fluffy and warm, not too sweet. 9/10 Vietnamese Iced Coffee was okay, stronger than I personally like but it's still good. 7/10 Would happily come back to try other donuts and drinks :)

S'mores mocha
Raquel L.

The coffee here is great! I had the iced smores mocha latte and it was the perfect blend of sweetness and delectable coffee. The graham cracker on top of the cold foam really set this drink over the edge. My partner had a vanilla bean glazed doughnut and he said it was really tasty. Soft on the inside and perfectly glazed on the outside. Definitely a place worth trying! Also shoutout to the kind staff and quick service :)

I visited Sidecar Donuts & Coffee in Manhattan Beach and the location felt clean, bright, and aesthetically pleasing. It's situated on a corner in a shopping area that made it easy to spot. I really appreciated the variety of donuts they offered. From classic glaze, fruit-forward flavors and themed varieties (Somoa is inspired by a Girl Scout cookie), the selection was impressive. I also liked that they offered weekly vegan and gluten-free options; very inclusive. You could tell the donuts were being made fresh, as trays were quickly restocked whenever an option started running low. We ordered a half dozen, including the glazed, French toast, huckleberry, strawberry, and classic glazed. The standout for me was the huckleberry and strawberry; both were 10/10. The server also was very helpful tailoring our picks to our needs. The flavors were vibrant without being overpowering sweet. I also ordered a green tea and their featured banana bread latte. I appreciated that they asked about toppings and clearly stated the presence of walnuts, which is important for anyone with allergies. The latte itself was decent (about a 7/10 for me); I was expecting a slightly sweeter, more pronounced banana flavor, but it was still enjoyable. Overall, a solid spot if you're in the Manhattan Beach area and looking for fresh, creative coffee spot with a sweet treat!

Lotsa donuts

Yes! Nearly $8 from Manhattan Beach. But they didn't send all of my order this time. Hmph

SunLife Organics makes some seriously delicious smoothies. They're thick, flavorful, and made with…read morepretty good-quality ingredients, so they definitely feel more elevated than your average smoothie shop. That being said, they are pricey as heck! Also, don't automatically assume you're ordering a low-calorie "diet" drink just because it's a smoothie. Some of these can be surprisingly high in calories, especially with all the nut butters, dates, protein powders, and add-ins. Delicious? Absolutely. Light and innocent? Not necessarily. I still enjoy coming here as a treat, but my wallet and calorie tracker both need a warning beforehand.

The first time I came here, it was busy. They clearly forgot my order. I had to inquire about it…read morewhen I started to notice people who came after me were getting their orders. Then, when the crowd dwindled, I was pretty much the only one still there so, yeah they def forgot it. I usually don't like to say anything, but I also didn't want to be there any longer than I already had been, so I kindly mentioned I hadn't received my drink yet. They were ok about it, I guess (definitely not nice) and I get when an establishment is busy, sometimes orders can sometimes get lost or accidentally not added. Whatever the reason may be, I eventually got my order and it was definitely rushed. I ordered the Tahitian Vanilla Bean Matcha and it was eh. I'm sure it's probably better but literally very low effort was put forth to make it. I decided to give this place a second chance during the week, when it's less busy. I got an acai bowl, I believe the Brazilian and it was good. I got a drink also, but it wasn't very memorable. Overall, it was ok.

If you've got some downtime before picking people up from the LA airport and feel like waiting in a relaxing environment then I strongly suggest coming here. It was an 8 minute drive to the main terminal. Parking was a little tricky although try parking in the backside of the building as there's also a back entrance to the coffee shop. Give it a try, I definitely will.

I'm a regular here most of the time but I also come here prior to work alongside my coworker before…read morewe start at 7am. And it's always a toss up whether we're gonna have a good experience or not. There are times where everything goes smoothly. But days like today seem to be the norm: where the morning crew are too grumpy to engage and rather drink their own coffee before asking if there is a problem. Unlike the afternoon, the workers don't announce the orders are ready and none of the orders have the names of who the order belongs to. Today was the worst experience ever and we won't be coming here before work. The matcha latte my friend order was rushed when the barista realized she never made the order and it tasted so bad. Morning crew: do better. This place is really decent and the vibe is majority of the time great. But yall make it hard to want to come back.
