Gourmet cake doughnuts, sandwiches, and coffee with vegan options

























"Coming to Little Italy, Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee—launched in Costa Mesa in 2012 and now operating several Southern California locations from Santa Monica to Manhattan Beach—will open a 1,100-square-foot shop at 2100 Kettner (the six-story mixed-use development on Kettner Boulevard) by Spring 2024. The brand is known for hand-making its doughnuts in small batches throughout the day and is most famous for its cake-style doughnuts, regularly offered in core flavors including butter and salt, huckleberry, Saigon cinnamon crumb, and maple-bacon; vegan and gluten-free options are also available, along with seasonal flavors like bourbon pecan pie. Other popular items include the basil eggs Benedict, a savory yeasted doughnut filled with a poached egg, ham, and basil hollandaise, and the Little Italy shop will feature a coffee and tea menu that includes Vietnamese iced coffee and chai lattes." - Candice Woo
