Sidecar Donuts

Sidecar is basically my kryptonite. Walk in and boom — you’re in donut heaven, and suddenly self-control is just a rumor. These beauties are made from scratch, fresh every single hour (yes, you read that right—hourly donuts like some kind of Willy Wonka dream).

The Box of the Best 6-pack is my go-to starter kit: Butter & Salt (salty-sweet perfection that I’d trade secrets for), Old Fashion (classy and timeless), Vanilla Bean Glazed (the Beyoncé of donuts—flawless), Choc-A-Lot (self-explanatory, and yes please), Huckleberry (tart, sweet, dreamy), and Passion Fruit Pavlova (basically dessert poetry).

Daily flavors rotate in like VIP guests—Cookies & Cream, Strawberry Buttermilk, Maple Bacon (my heart belongs here), and Celebration Cake (aka instant party). Bonus points: they’ve got gluten-free and vegan options that taste just as indulgent, so no one misses out.

Pro tip: don’t skip the drinks. The Vanilla Latte and Sidecar Cold Brew are dangerously smooth—aka the “donut enablers.” Add in a squeaky-clean shop and the kind of staff who make you feel like family, and you’ll understand why my diet cries every time I drive by.

Come hungry, leave happy, and accept that you’ll already be planning your next visit before you even finish the last bite.
