Reviews for Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee in Manhattan Beach, CA

Really good donuts. The cinnamon roll is delicious, the cinnamon crumble is really good but a cakey donut which I didn't... realize. And the choc o lot was really soft and fluffy and nice too. I understand know why sidecar is so popular staff was superfirendly and engaging. Read more

Update - Caveat - I still love the doughnuts here, but they must?ve had an off day or something because our group order pick up... which was placed online was not in good order. They forgot our maple bacon and instead put the butter & salt doughnut instead.In fact, they replaced three doughnuts we originally by old fashioned doughnuts. To be clear, the old fashioned doughnuts aretasty options, but either a heads up on the replacement doughnuts OR just getting the order correct would have beenappreciated. __________________ Local outpost of popular specialty doughnut spot. Credit cards accepted. Free parking isavailable in the large parking lot. No indoor seats; it?s primarily a takeout spot. You pick your doughnuts (with every dozen,you get the 13th free), order any drinks you want (they do have oat milk available for an extra charge), and then pay. Note thatif you check in on Yelp, you can get a free butter & salt or huckleberry doughnut. Came here on a Wednesday recently to trytheir cinnamon roll, which they serve only on Wednesday. On Mondays, they have malasadas, and on Fridays, they have Applefritters. Unfortunately they only had two cinnamon rolls left when I arrived (it was around lunch time), and it was going totake another hour for fresh ones to come out, so I wasn?t able to get enough for my coworkers. Nevertheless, I think thedoughnuts are the better option (I liked how soft the cinnamon roll dough was, but more icing would?ve elevated it). They dohave a savory option with the Benedict doughnut, which can be a whole meal (there?s a poached egg and ham inside). They haveseasonal as well as standard flavors. Tip: Note that on Wednesdays, they say cinnamon rolls are available but the worker notedit?s only available ?early Wednesdays? Read more

This is my favorite donut shop hands down! And, I've tried quite a few specialty places such as Voodoo donuts, Bluestar and... Bob's donuts in the original Farmer's Market on Fairfax. I could wax poetic about their offerings such as their special donut ofthe month such as apple cream sage, fresh strawberry cream, or this month, passion fruit cream. They also offer wonderful churrodonuts, Saigon cinnamon, rich chocolate, and many more! The coffee and drink selection are also excellent including a passionfruit special drink this month. Read more

Basil Eggs Benedict is my perfect sweet & savory pasty! People are friendly & prompt! Onyx coffee is delicious!

A 5 star! 10 star if I was allowed to! :D The doughnuts are super fresh. The passion fruit pavlova and huckleberry are highly... recommended. The yeast doughnuts are light but cake doughnuts are great if you have the appetite. The coffee was great! Theblack onyx mocha is a dark mocha coffee if you can do a sweet coffee! I liked the service, the staff is very patient whenyou're going crazy over choosing from the range of doughnuts ;) Read more

The coffee is horrible , burnt and nasty , maybe it would be the best to adjust the coffee machines or choose another brand... because burned coffee taste sour and nasty. The doughnuts are over baked the crust is dark but the inside is gummy and raw,heavy, what a doughnut disappointment, and the price is outrageous!!!!!!!!!!! We couldn?t finish the doughnuts and thecoffee. Donut waste your money! Read more

Unique, delicious donuts. I had the basil, poached egg donut and each level of flavor complimented the others. And the poached... egg was perfection. Read more

Oh my goodness! These are some of the best donuts in LA and LA knows donuts. Definitely recommend the butter & salt and... churro! The pumpkin needs a bit more pumpkin flavor and cinnamon but was still delicious. Read more
