Best. Doughnuts. Ever.

Ham and Egg Doughnut
This is going to be the best year ever. I can just feel it. Goals will be met, miracles will happen, and dreams will come true. But if none of that turns out to be the case, there’s always doughnuts.

A couple years ago, I ranked the best doughnut shops in LA. If that list was written today, there would be a new #1 pick. Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee opened right before the holidays with doughnuts so incredibly good, I can legitimately say that this place is a complete and total game-changer. Utilizing the finest ingredients and a secret other-wordly recipe, the talented artisans at Sidecar craft their mouth-watering creations with amazing flavor and a perfect texture which is crisp on the outside and supermoist on the inside.

The menu consists of permanent offerings, as well as several seasonal monthly specials. My favorite off the list of regulars is the simple yet perfect Butter & Salt Doughnut, but the Huckleberry one is not far behind. If you’re looking for something more nutritious, there’s a doughnut offered in the morning that is filled with sliced country ham and a poached egg, and topped with fresh basil (pictured above). It’s the breakfast of champions.

Happy New Year, food lovers!

Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee is located at 631 Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica.

    I picked up a box over the holidays and could not agree with you more. Move over Blue Star — Sidecar is everything!

  2. Butter and salt doughnut? (singing) “… these are a few of my favorite things!”
    Thanks for the tips. CAN’T WAIT TO GET DOUGHNUTS!! (It’s really bad that I live mere blocks from here. Maybe I can run there and back…)

    I completely agree with you. Game changers indeed. No doughnut compares to these…for flavors, for freshness, for quality of ingredients. Good call!

  4. That apple fritter looks amazing. Sidecar is now on my list!!
