Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee

I expected more from their donuts. They’re over priced and cakey. Their original glazed is okay.

I used to go to Sidecar Donut in Santa Monica every month! What an amazing donut, nowhere I have tasted better donuts. In 2020 I’ve moved out California and eveyday I missed this place. Last month I went back to California, after 5 years od moving away, and I HAD to have Sidecar Donuts. You can’t go wrong with any flavor you order, but my favorite still the cinnamon one. Basic but delicious!!! I hope they grow more and more and spread out all over the USA, so I can have a chance to have them again one day. If you are in California, just go get some, any of their locations the donuts will be worthy!

Get the monthly Vegan donut option. June 2025 is chocolate cake with shredded coconut on top.

Donuts are always soft and fresh

Finally got to try these donuts.
Located in a nice plaza with plenty of free self parking.
Staff is very welcoming.
There's some indoor seating and there's also a couple of outside patio seating.

There's lots of donut options including two gluten free in case if that's what you need.
It's a bit pricey imo.
It feels similar to Crumbl cookies in the sense that they change their menu to keep you returning for new and limited time flavors.

I love this donuts so much! Especially the salt and butter donut never disappoint. On the other hand, the customer service from the woman behind the counter absolute let down. She met all the mark for lack of customer service. If you are having a bad day leave at the door and put a happy face on like the rest of us at our occupation.

My guilty pleasure is their butter salt donut. Amazing lattes.

Best manager/staff! Know exactly how to resolve an issue! Placed a mobile order and one donut was unavailable. Manager not only apologized but went above what I would expect to make it right. This is how you properly take care of your customers - model example for other businesses.
Totally made my day! Thank you very much!

Amazing Service at Sidecar Donuts in Torrance!

I can't say enough great things.They made it so easy for me to buy donuts and deliver them to our local police departments, daycares teachers, cars and cops others anyone else who deserves a special treat.
The staff is always friendly, and they happily let me wrap up the donuts with a smile before I head to my next stop. The donuts I delivered to the police and community were a huge hit! Thank you so much, Sidecar team, for helping make it all a success. I’ll definitely be back for more!
And many thank you to too good to go to make these little extras possible.
