The Gilded Bellini's Brunch Break at Sidecar Doughnuts + Coffee

Where do Angelenos go when they want to trade their usual boozy brunch ritual for a quick morning pick me up that's a little more on the sweeter side? It's no question they head to Sidecar Doughnuts + Coffee! 

Some weekends, it's all about sleeping in a little past brunch time, rolling out of bed and quickly satisfying that sweet tooth of yours. Sidecar is the place to do it. Known for their inventive seasonal flavors, Sidecar is also notorious for its carefully sourced ingredients and every donut’s unique artistic design. Sidecar is committed to making “The World’s Freshest Doughnut!” 

I got to check out the Santa Monica location a few weeks ago for the perfect mid-morning indulgence and learned more about what makes the experience at this donut shop far from ordinary. Be sure to check out my video above for the full run down of this super popular donut haven, including information about seasonal flavors, what I thought about its Eggs Benedict donut (yes, for all you fellow brunch lovers!) and Sidecar's charity partnership program called Side Cares.
