    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.

    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

    This fancy Manhattan Beach donut shop never disappoints. They consistently deliver both in quality and service and everything always tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. You can tell they care about what they're putting out. Their pints program is also a great bonus and definitely worth trying. Solid flavors, great consistency, and an easy go-to when you're craving something sweet. Highly recommend.

    Stopped by this location for the first time and was impressed! This donut shop claims to have the world's freshest donuts and they meant just that! This shop is known to have fresh ingredients, unique flavors...with some flavors offered weekly or just once a week. I ordered their coconut cloud donut which was a collab they conducted with Summer Fridays and I also ordered the French toast donut. These donuts were super soft and on the more dense side than airy. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the space doesn't have indoor seating but there are a few tables located outside, but it's limited so it's best to order to go. Plenty of free parking as well. I'll definitely return to try other flavors, and the Vietnamese coffee!

    The Baseline: For a donut shop the flavor of donuts must out-weigh the taste of pure sugar, the yeastiness/cake-ness of the donut must be a good consistency, there must be unique/rare offerings that drive me to go there, and the value of the desert must be balanced with the fact I probably just finished a meal. Food: Sidecar donuts are really sweet delicious donuts that are mostly cake donuts. The flavor profiles are varied and they carry a limited vegan selection. When the cookie dough donuts is available it is my favorite. I also love the Black Onyx Coffee for my go-to coffee. Also you need to try the Eggs Benedict donut for a savory treat. Service: Great service from staff every time I come here. I suggest the app for earning freebies and specials. Ambiance: Very clean store with a well laid out service queue.

    Is there anything better than a cake, I mean donut from Sidecar on a lazy Sunday morning? Definitely not! Came here around 10:30am and was glad to see there wasn't a tremendously long line. The worker that helped me was so kind and patient and helped me with my matcha latte order. I was glad to hear they don't charge extra for oat milk! But, they do charge an extra $1 if you add special sweetener in there (tried something new today with their banana syrup flavoring). Definitely don't need my matcha sweetened next time though because the sweetness from my Biscoff donut did the trick! Yes Biscoff donut - basically cake. It was perfectly crunch at the top and so soft and moist all around! Wow. The location is small but just enough for a line inside and some seats outside as well. They also have a window where you can pick up your drinks outside so that it doesn't get too crowded. The store was clean, the counter with some utensils and napkins was well kept, and it smelled delicious in there (of course!) This is by far my most favorite donut shop and this location did not disappoint. The staff was friendly, kind, and they got my order to me very quickly! Will definitely be back! Oh and parking was not a problem one bit. It's in a shopping center so lots of parking all around. Win in my book! Woohoo!

    Ok got a sweet tooth so went there. Reason for 4 star, clean place, friendly staff, I liked the Saigon Cinnamon donut. Reason not a 5 star, Vietnamese coffee taste water down. The banana latte was way too sweet.

    Huckleberry donut

    I absolutely love their donuts If you haven't been here before, it's a must try. I'm not local but whenever I'm in the area it's a must that I stop by. My favorite is the huckleberry donut

    I had a friend introduce me to Sidecar Doughnuts last summer, so when I saw we were going to be near one, I had to make a point to stop here so my kids could try it! We were in town for the weekend and after a late night out, followed by an early morning call time, Sidecar to the rescue! I got here right before they opened. I was greeted immediately upon entering by Jesse who ended up helping me throughout my visit. He was super personable and we chatted a bit while he completed my order. I bought a box of 6 donuts and got: Cookies n cream, Huckleberry, Choco Lot, Chocolate chunk cookie, Strawberry buttermilk and Saigon cinnamon crumb. To complete my order, I also ordered a hot banana bread latte with the walnut topping. The strawberry buttermilk reminded me of a mild jelly filled doughnut and the cinnamon crumb complimented my latte perfectly. The latte itself was insanely delicious. I didn't try the doughnuts purchased for my kids, but they demolished theirs, so I think it's safe to say they loved their choices as well. It's a very nice location, small inside but laid out perfectly so it flows well. I'd imagine it probably gets a little chaotic when they're extremely busy. The parking lot was laid out kind of odd, so I was glad it was early and there were only 3 other cars there, no added confusion then. Their menu changes daily and they have seasonal offerings as well. Highly recommend giving Sidecar a try! Love this place!

    Matcha, Strawberries, & Creme (exclusive)
    Tammy H.

    First timer at Sidecar and I'm impressed. Now, not all of the doughnuts I tried were amazing, but I love that they were all so fresh and not too sweet. MATCHA, STRAWBERRIES, & CREME (limited time): Matcha whipped cream and chopped strawberries were piled on top of this raised doughnut but unfortunately, matcha flavor was lacking big time. The doughnut was tinted green, but no matcha taste. So basically it was a glazed green donut with a hint of matcha from the dusting on the whipped cream and some glazed strawberry pieces. Darn. SAIGON CINNAMON CRUMB: I figured how different could this doughnut be from a regular cinnamon cake doughnut elsewhere and I was glad to be wrong. The cinnamon was surprisingly much more potent and fragrant than I've had in a doughnut so it was very pleasant. I'm not a big fan of cake doughnuts, but this was soft and palatable. CHOC-A-LOT: Holy smokes this delivered on the chocolate. It's a raised chocolate doughnut with a chocolate glaze. I'm not sure if they used semi-sweet chocolate but it was not cloyingly sweet, which was great. CITRUS OLIVE OIL: Lemony cake doughnut so it was a nice change from the other ones I ordered. A good choice for those who love lemon! MATCHA LATTE: I got a sweetened matcha latte with regular milk and it was fine. I don't think it compares to matcha teahouses, but it'll do. They have savory doughnuts too, but I didn't get a chance to try those. They continue to make doughnuts throughout the day so just inquire with the staff if you want to know when the next batch of a certain type will come out. Hot tip** Download the app to get a free doughnut AND drink with any purchase.

    First time trying Sidecar, and was quite pleased. I wanted to start off simple with my flavors and you can definitely tell they're fresh and in-house made. Love the box, it's so cute!

    Seasonal flavor
    Dannielle C.

    Hands down my favorite donut place in Cali. I moved from La to Miami and have to swing by whenever im in town. I usually go to the location by the grove but this was perfect enroute from lax to PV. We tried the seasonal olive oil with citrus and one of my favorites butter and salt which did not disappoint!

    Erick L.

    The white chocolate banana bread is my favorite so far. I think it was so good that i didn't even make it to the car before I finished it. The apple pan pie is good too. These seasonal doughnuts are pretty good

My Daughter is home for…read moreEaster break and I wanted to get something special for her and use some of my Randy's credits that I had. I was super excited that the app offers delivery - but apparently not my address since (I'm guessing) I live just outside of 3 miles from two different Randy's?! So I went with Grubhub this time. Because like I said, once you have the craving for Randy's, you need to see that through. My daughter wanted the Nutella raised, and I also got her the fruity pebbles raised. Chocolate milk will be a fun surprise to go along with those donuts. I preferred something savory and went with jalapeño ham and cheese croissant, which was just the right size and heat. But I was also intensely curious to try the glazed Crondy - so I got one! All the donuts are beautiful, huge and delicious! They hit the spot! So in the end, I didn't get to use the rewards I had earned or earn any new ones, but I still got donuts! I will point out that I've never had any issues ordering with their website that is always super easy and reliable. I hope that whatever is up with the app can be fixed or updated (I didn't even tell you about trying to order ahead yesterday and just pick up). But it says something that we kept trying. These donuts are worth it!

    I can't decide if the taste and texture of these donuts have dramatically changed over the…read moreyears...or have my preferences become more refined? Absent an answer to that question, I will admit donuts in the morning with a cup if my Peet's Coffee is usually a luxury to which I look forward. I knew I would be dropping my bestie at LAX so it wasn't out of the way to stop at Randy's. Like any self respecting lazy shopper, I ordered online the night before. None of the buttermilk/old fashioned options were available for online ordering but (surprise!) all of the buttermilk/old fashioned varieties were abundant in the glass case this morning. What's up with that? I was in the shop promptly at 929am for my confirmed pick-up at 930am. There was a line. Service wasn't speedy, and the chatter at the front of the line wasn't the right optics when you want to grab and go (especially knowing my order was ready). A five minute wait wasn't horrible, nor will it ruin my day. I grabbed the bright orange box that was handed to me and went on my way. At home I poured a fresh cup of piping hot Peet's Coffee, opened the box, snapped a shot and grabbed my most favorite donut of all. The plain. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I judge all donuts by the plain type. If the plain isn't great, no amount of glaze, icing, filling, or fancy toppings will make a donut great. After the first bite, I did not get any sense that this little guy was made fresh early this morning. It didn't taste bad, it just didn't have that fresh pillowy texture I love plain donuts to have. I dunno. Maybe it's me. Maybe donuts are no longer a favorite. Maybe I've had the best and nothing will ever compare. Maybe aliens are among us. Maybe Moon Pies will come back. Good in a pinch, the office crew will dig 'em and let's face it, the nostalgia alone is worth it. Sort of.

It looks like a convenient store standing alone right off the 405 El Segundo exit. A bit dingy looking from outside with its on parking.

My go-to order is the old-fashioned with white icing paired with an iced vanilla latte, and it never disappoints. The donuts are always freshly made in the morning, and the coffee is smooth and flavorful. What really impressed me is the value -- a 24oz iced coffee is only $6, which is incredible considering most places charge that for just a 12oz drink! Beyond donuts and coffee, they have so many snack options -- every type of chips you can imagine, a fridge stocked with energy drinks, juices, Gatorade, and more. They also make freshly squeezed orange juice which tastes amazing, plus hot and ready croissants and sandwiches for when you need something more filling. One thing I do wish is that they had a little more variety in donut options. They've really nailed the basics/classics, but it would be fun to see some new flavors or unique styles here and there . The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and I love stopping by here when I'm on the go. Great customer service + delicious food + unbeatable prices = highly recommend

Yes, their title does lead one to the shop for their awesome donuts but, for my French pastry loving heart, it's the croissants that bring me back again and again. Both plain AND stuffed croissants are located at this shop, with plain being my go-to favorite. The crescent-shaped, golden-brown pastry has so many delicate layers of bread and butter that I find myself licking my fingers as to not miss a single crumb. They open at 5am which allows me to pick up goodies while they are still warm on my way to run around town. The cost is also lower than several other local spots, making this a double win in my opinion. Staff is kind and dedicated to making your visit an enjoyable one. Greeting customers with a friendly smile seems to always be on the menu! Ambiance is that of a mom & pop bakery which makes me feel welcome at any point in the day. Handicap parking is located just outside the front door, but with a smaller, more limited parking lot.
