Happy employee serves fresh maple bacon donuts at Sidecar Donuts in Del MarSan Diego is known for craft food and drink – from beers to brunch, tacos, vegan fare, farm-to-table, and fried fluffy doughnuts – the abundance of delicious and unique options are plentiful around town.

When it comes to doughnuts, there are no shortage of donut shops in San Diego neighborhood big and small. Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee in Del Mar is the self-proclaimed “World’s Freshest Doughnuts.” They make their doughnuts from scratch daily, using the best ingredients possible for the dough and delicious glazes, including simmering pots of fresh fruit purees, crisping up bacon, and crafting from-scratch fillings.  They fry fresh batches of each flavor all day long, every day, ensuring that no matter what time you pop in for a sweet and savory treat, you have a fresh, warm, and oooey gooey experience.

Display at Sidecar Donuts in Del Mar, CAFrom old school favorites like old fashioned glazed and cinnamon crumb, to ingenious flavor combinations like basil eggs benedict, passion fruit pavlova, and huckleberry, Sidecar Doughnut has something for every palette.

The location is very convenient, and has plenty of parking, in the Del Mar Highlands plaza. There are a few tables with umbrellas outside on the front patio with an abundance of succulent plants. Inside is modern, bright, and inviting with shelving that displays goodies from coffee mugs to hats, Sugarfina x Sidecar gummies, coffee beans, and more for purchase. There’s even a cute nook for the perfect photo op!

We recently stopped into the Del Mar location to try a variety of flavors, including their summer seasonal flavors: passion fruit pavlova and salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough. Spoiler alert: everything was delicious, but we narrowed it down to our top four picks that you donut want to miss!

Sidecar Donuts x Sugarfina gummies Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
This seasonal fan favorite did not disappoint! When you hear “salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough” you except the doughnut to taste like a warm salted malted chocolate chip cookie. And boy did this doughnut deliver! The chocolate chip cake donut has a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough in the center, the perfect pairing for each bite.

Susie’s Blueberry Pancake
This fresh take on a summer breakfast staple was everything it should be – sweet, a hint of savory, and glazed to perfection. The blueberries are fresh, juicy, and pop in your mouth – no fake blueberry flavor here. There’s a maple syrup glaze which is also topped off with a pure maple syrup.

Maple Bacon
Fresh Sidecar donuts in the box: maple bacon, salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate, and blueberry pancakeWhy is maple bacon so good? Maybe it’s the sweet maple syrup flavor. Or maybe it’s the crispy, salted bacon. But no doubt, it’s the combination of these flavors and textures that make this donut the perfect (and a little bit naughty) treat. This donut is extra fluffy, loaded with a pure Vermont maple syrup glaze, and the bacon is crisp to perfection. They also don’t over-chop it, so you get quality bites of bacon in nearly every bite.

Choc-a-Lot
A classic, with a twist. This chocolate doughnut is fully loaded with chocolate – from the chocolate cake dough to the house-made chocolate glaze and Valrhona Chocolate cocoa nibs on top. It’s decadent, rich, and pairs really well with your morning espresso.

Want to try these doughnuts out with a fresh cup of coffee or craft latte? Head to Sidecar Doughnuts ASAP – and hurry, because their seasonal summer flavors are only here for a limited time!

I grew up in Oregon before moving to San Diego for college and stayed to pursue my love of journalism. I love meeting new people, voluteering at local animal shelters, and trying all the ramen I can find. San Diego is such a beautiful city, full of diversity and culture, and it's my pleasure to explore and share it with you!
