    Half donut half bagels
    Monica R.

    Came by to grab some donut and bagels for my team. The employee there was very nice and welcoming. He boxed my donuts and bagels up which was nicer than just walking in to work with a bag. There was a variety of donuts and bagels. The bagels were very soft and light. The donuts were a little dense but not too bad.

    Maple bar
    Celina E.

    Early Riser combo before 7am = Brew + Donut for $4, best deal out there! The maple bar was very good, and I'm always on the hunt for a good MB. Coffee is tasty and strong. Cute display of sweet treats and some tables inside to sip and talk. Glad we have a new donut shop in Gundo!

    A million points for opening at 5am and serving breakfast burritos near LAX. Extremely limited options at that time. Located in a small shopping center in El Segundo, I was thrilled to know that I wouldn't be stuck eating a frozen McDonald's or Starbucks sandwich. The place is clean and service is excellent. First thing that caught my eye was the fresh Apple Fritter & Bear Claw selection at pre-Covid prices. Breakfast burrito was on the smaller scale but it also is 3-4 dollars cheaper than nearby options. Cut in half and easy to eat with little to no bacon grease pouring out. In my opinion for a 5-7am breakfast burrito option in the area, theres no need to go elsewhere.

    Bear Claw. Yes!!

    I am a donut expert and aficionado. As soon as a donut is in my hand, I have a good idea if it's gonna' be good and if it's worth the calories. What you wanna' look for in a donut or any other donut like variation, such as an apple fritter, bear claw, fried cinnamon roll, etc, is the weight. If if feels heavy, that's generally not good, because it's too oily. The next thing you do is take just one bite and and keep it in your mouth for a bit before swallowing it to get a taste of the oil. If it's oily or stale, you are not getting your calorie/enjoyment ratio which equals to, not worth the calories. I can assure you, the donut creations here are worth the calories and there's no oily taste to be found! I had a bear claw, and it was packed to the gills with apple filling. Holy smokes, was it ever good! My friend had a breakfast sandwich that I had a hard time not stealing from her. It was awesome! They also have an espresso bar and plenty of other things to drink. The prices are on par with any donut shop, which was surprising, because this place is more premium. Parking is plentiful and free, and the staff is awesome! I'm writing this review in October 2025, and it's a soft opening. So far so good!

    The lax burrito
    Jason K.

    A great looking assortment of bagels, donuts, croissants, other baked goods, and breakfast items. Got the LAX burrito and was pretty satisfied with it. Not the most tasty or amazing burrito I've ever had, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. $14 seems like a reasonable price. Service inside was friendly and expedient. Lines can back up to the outside during peak times on weekends. Definitely worth a visit.

    Guava Glazed Donut
    Peter L.

    This Guava Glazed Donut was really dam good. The guava was not to sugary it was perfect. Definitely made in house. If you love glaze donuts please give this a try. The workers were attentive and helpful with any questions I had.

    Perfect place for a rainy day! They have a little bit of everything for everyone. Donuts, bagels and burritos. Definitely going back to try a burritos!

    A great new addition to town. This coffee shop offers a wide selection of donuts, bagels, and coffees, so there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with some indoor and outdoor seating available. I tried their croissant, and it was absolutely amazing--perfectly buttery with just the right flaky texture. Friendly service and fresh offerings make this place well worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

    I discovered this place by accident while I was out on a walk and decided to stop in for a coffee. I'm so glad I did. Everyone working there was incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. It instantly felt like one of those neighborhood spots where people genuinely care about their customers. The coffee was excellent, smooth, fresh, and exactly what I needed on my walk. On top of that, the manager, Juan, went out of his way to show genuine hospitality, which truly made my day. Great coffee, great donuts, and even better customer service. I'll definitely be stopping by again and highly recommend checking this place out if you're nearby!

    Great service. They recommended the apple fritter. My husband said it was one of the best he's had and he's had a few! Pumpkin muffin was delicious. Can't wait to try the rest of the donuts tomorrow morning. Will update the review once we do.

    The glossiest frosting ever seen! Apple fritter, maple long John, chocolate old fashioned, Nutella and strawberry stuffed deliciousness!
    Lori T.

    The most charming bakery just opened a few months ago, with the glossiest frosted donuts I've ever had! Great coffee choices with many syrups to try, and can't wait to try the breakfast burritos! Definitely worth a visit.

    Picked up 4 dozens Dodgers-themed donuts to celebrate the World Series Champs!  The croissants and vanilla latte are yummy too!

    Food: good but too expensive 4/5 Service: fast and friendly…read more5/5 Ambiance: no indoor seating 3/5 :(( 4.5/5

    So, this is the new issue with Sidecar in Manhattan Beach this morning…read more... When you can't even get a dozen doughnuts from a doughnut shop to take to work, BEFORE work...there's some major operational failures that need to be remedied. I work at the airport and we're unable to get app based food deliveries. They can't even come into the airport. So, I usually order Sidecar on my way to work and have the driver meet me at the LAX Metro Transit Center, before hopping on the shuttle to my terminal. I placed an order for a DOZEN through Uber Eats at 6:35 a.m. And this is the message I get from Maya. I call the store and ask them to cancel it. 5 minutes later it's still not canceled, so I call back and BEG them "PLEASE CANCEL THE ORDER?!" and the young lady with such a bad attitude replies "We will cancel the order, don't worry about that." and I say "Can you cancel it while I'm on the phone?! I want to know it's been canceled!" Her smart ass reply was that "You're gonna have to wait, becauee there's no manager here, but you'll receive a notification when it's canceled" so I ask "You can't cancel an order without a manager?" and the girl says "No." then I ask "Can I have your name, please?" and with an audible grin on her face, she says "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...."and I said" OK! That's fine!" and hung up. Minutes later, the order was canceled. Sounds like Sidecar has some real superstars working at their Manhattan Beach store. Also, this was a delivery order and the fact that she even thought it was for pickup and casually says to wait an hour and a half before pickup at 7 in the morning incompetence and a total lack of consideration at its finest. It hurts, because I really do like Sidecar and have for about 3 years. I've introduced many to their doughnuts, but spending $60 on a dozen, just to get treated like you're a joke is abhorrent.

    You doughnut know how much I love croissants!…read more King's Donuts of Hawthorne is my home for the flakey, buttery heaven known as a croissant! 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. The front door is left open most mornings, allowing for morning bakery smells & aromas to waft through the air. This also helps those who may have trouble opening a heavy door.

    Today I had a donut that I had many times before from different places but the donut I got from…read morehere was AMAZING! I had their Bear Claw donut...my goodness it was so good!!
