"Sidecar is a fancy donut mini-chain that started in Costa Mesa and has since grown to seven locations around LA. If you’re looking for the upscale donut trend's patient zero, you'll find it here: Sidebar started putting things like salted malt cookie dough and huckleberry jam on dough rings back in 2013, and they’re still the best at it. We’re not sure their signature claim of making fresh donuts every hour is true at all locations these days, but regardless, eating one of their Butter & Salt donuts while warm remains a religious experience. Go with the cake donuts over the yeast ones." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"Sidecar has multiple locations in Southern California, but Luu calls out the Santa Monica shop for “very fresh, hot donuts with unique recipes.” The shop fries donuts in small batches all day long, and the seasonal menu includes flavors like rainbow berry pop tart and salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough. “Our favorite is their butter-and-salt cake donut—we journey out there often for this one,” Luu says." - jean trinh 1
