Man, these are some messy and delicious donuts. I had the February monthly special passion fruit donut and the always on menu huckleberry donut (also comes in gluten free).

David MazzaNovember 1, 2015The huckleberry doughnut is purple and filled with berries. 🍩🍩👍 Also the only coffee shop I've ever seen with an outlet close-ish to the outdoor seating. Can't wait for them to open on 11/17/15
- Maple bacon is amazing, as is basically every flavor. Come with a group so you can sample them all without feeling intense donut shame when you eat 8 of them by yourself.Upvoted Apr 4
The donuts are so good here, probably in my top 3 anywhere. Ask for anything that's hot but make sure to try the Butter & Salt and wash it down with a Stumptown Vietnamese iced coffee.
Joseph CJanuary 3, 2016Maddy is a Very Beautiful, Friendly, Sweet, Sweet Girl! Makes one feel right at Home here! They're all Cool here & The Food is Top Notch Quality & In Taste! Everything is New & Clean! Hi Maddy!!🙋💘😘
Caitlin TaylorSeptember 21, 2017Had no idea most of their donuts had nuts in them (which I'm allergic to) but I still loved the nut free options. Friendly staff, pretty store, and great donuts
- Mario MFebruary 20, 2017the fresh, crisp and best donuts in la! invite all your friends and order every single one available, you wont be disappointed if you enjoy donuts and coffee. huckleberry, salt and butter are amaze
- Kassi NopratvarakornAugust 13, 2018Absolutely fresh and fantastic – get the huckleberry or a glazed for a sweet treat but make sure you get there in time to try their savory eggs benedict donut too. You won't be disappointed!
jennifer hanMay 31, 2016may's flavor of the month is strawberry elderflower. EFF THAT'S DELICIOUS. i love mostly anything with strawberries but still think my assessment is quite objective. please make it a menu regular!
Get the butter and salt donut! The huckleberry donut is also quite good.
Rick NijhuisOctober 8, 2016I don't care much for donuts but these are delicious: crispy, light and especially good when glazed and filled with huckleberry
Yvette CruzMarch 14, 2017Huckleberry was out of this world! Best donut Iv ever had!! (So much so I devoured it before taking a picture! 🙈) Banana peanut butter, was also a win! 🍩👍🏼
Liz KongApril 28, 2019The donuts are amazing and the staff are so friendly! Old fashioned and cinnamon crumb are my favorites but the newer flavors are also worth trying!
Julia ParkJune 2, 2019Expensive but good doughnut. Lot of them are cake batter, with a couple glazed / vegan / gluten free options :)
Nadyne RichmondJune 24, 2022Huckleberry donut and malasada (Monday only) were so good: perfectly fresh, not too sweet, nicely chewy. They went well with the cold brew.
Jacquelin HoAugust 15, 2018Mmmm normally not a fan of berry flavor donuts but their signature huckleberry was delicious (banana split and choco pretzel also were very good)
michael deveroAugust 22, 2016Best donuts I've EVER had!! The butter and salt is so amazing and the huckleberry is a must. Every other donut is pretty much just as great
Their donuts are amazeballs! They have great monthly specials & apple fritters on Fridays!
المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيالOctober 24, 2016Causal coffee shop with lovely doughnuts and coffees. Loved the berry and the chocolate ones 😍
Their girl scout cookie donuts are all delicious upscaled versions of the classics
Lisa SosaMay 25, 2018Butter and salt, birthday cake, churros and Mexican hot chocolate donuts were all delicious!!
TammyinAZJune 4, 2017Wow! Fresh and delicious. We had the lemon curd, maple bacon and German chocolate. It was fun to watch them make them.
Paige CMarch 25, 2017BEWARE! Their donuts are made with almond flour and almond extract. They don't tell you, so if you have a tree nut allergy, STAY AWAY!
My recommendation: get more than one! It is always so hard to decide – get the one that looks the best and whatever one is the freshest in the case
Meg FarmerAugust 22, 2016Huckleberry was unique and delish. Salty caramel was average. Def fun to try the different flavors, but I can't help feeling I should be eating healthy next door at Mendocino Farms.
Staff PicksJanuary 14, 2016There are doughnuts, and then there are Sidecar Doughnuts. Made from scratch, we can never choose between the Maple Bacon, salty caramel or the green eggs and ham. Read more
Fritter Friday. Get there early, they sell out quickly. Because they are amazing.
Fave: huckleberry, vanilla bean twist, Buche de Noel, any raised donuts
Alex PyatetskyApril 2, 2017Didn't have doughnuts. Coffee was good. Nice place to spend time. Next door to Mendocino farms if you want to put some real food in your system.
Landon RobertsJune 15, 2019Their huckleberry doughnut tastes like cake. Unless that texture is preferred, it definitely does not come close to the bluestar doughnuts.
- SallyOctober 29, 2016The huckleberry donut is delicious and so are the other donuts! Cakey and flavorful.
Favorite donut place in LA. Always interesting seasonal flavors.
- AmberSeptember 12, 2017Good almond milk latte. Donuts are more cakey and dense if that's what you prefer!
sefika cFebruary 18, 2022Cinnamon dougnut was perfect! Ambiance is also modern and europian❣️ Love it
Max BrautigamFebruary 22, 2019The strawberry cream cheese mousse doughnut was maybe the best doughnut I’ve ever had.
Jovana KovacevicJanuary 12, 2020There is actually only one type of doughnut, plain one(3,5/5) everything else I wouldn’t call a doughnut because the dough is different. I am not saying it’s not tasty but it’s just not doughnut :)
chris changMay 9, 2017Watch them when they pick your donut. Make sure they don't try to give you an older donut when you know there's fresh.
𓁹August 8, 2019This place has warm, fresh donuts basically all day long. Its a serious must if you are in the area✨- The butter and salt donut is a perfect starting point
Evelina ProdanovaOctober 4, 2017The staff was nice explaining about the doughnuts, didn't find them any special though. I am not a huge doughnut person too anyway, but expected something more taste-catchy.
Kartik SathappanJanuary 2, 2018Do yourself a favor and get whatever is coming out fresh - they’re good cold, but they’re 2x better warm.
