    The regulars and some of the seasonal selections.

    Donuts are always fresh and tasty. Staff is always really nice despite it getting a bit busy and hectic sometimes. Can be a wait if they are still making a donut you want. But small price to pay for the donut coming out warm and fresh. Huckleberry donut is always a must but they have so many other options including vegan options for those looking for that, that you can't really go wrong with anything. Small place with outdoor seating and a counter to sit inside. Can feel a bit crowded and noisy if you eat inside but if you're ok with that then it isn't bad. Have come back multiple times and definitely will be back again soon.

    I have been eyeing the Mango Sticky Rice!!!! It was a hot day and an even better sweet ending. The Mango Sticky Rice was so dayum good!!

    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.

    I love coming to Sidecar donuts when I'm in the area and want a special treat. Their donuts are extremely fresh, come in great flavors, and look great. I've always had pretty quick service at this location and on this particular occasion there were even some samples out, so I got to try some flavors I usually don't get to. I think the most common flavor I get is the huckleberry, but I have also tried the eggs Benedict donut and thought it was excellent. Their malasadas are amazingly fluffy as well, just difficult to get as they're only available on Monday. There's a decent-sized parking lot in the back, as well as some seating in a patio where you can enjoy your donuts and drinks.

    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.

    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.

    Erika N.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    Randy's Donuts made a lot of people happy today for National Donut Day especially with the Texas…read moreDonut Variety. I only knew it as a "Giant Donut". 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 man behind the counter was ready to take our order right away. I am a plain Jane glazed donut kind of gal. There were lots of choices that would likely be exciting for some, like the maple bacon or the pistachio crusted with frosting. My hubby had a chocolate frosted & I went with my tried & true good old glaze & raised. There's no indoor seating but there were plenty of tables and chairs with giant umbrellas for shade outside. The weather was warm but not unbearable so we sat and immediately dove into our donuts. Verdict-didn't blow my mind. It wasn't as moist as other glazed donuts I've had for sure. Really quite mediocre which surprised me. I had heard so much hype about this place for years and it was mind of a let down TBH. Maybe there no way it could live up to the expectations I had. But even my husband who isn't nearly as particular as I am wasn't wildly impressed. So would I go back, can't say I would. I am very selective about my calorie splurge and this was just not the trip to Disneyland my taste buds were hoping for.
