Sidecar Doughnuts, LLC was established in 2012 by longtime friends Chi-Lin Pendergrast & Brooke DesPrez as is a chain of gourmet bakery shops that bakes and sells a wide variety of unique specialty doughnuts, coffee, and drinks. Sidecar bakes their doughnuts daily, from scratch, using only the freshest and finest ingredients possible, even their fruit purees, fresh creams, and custards are all made from scratch in-house. Sidecar fries in small batches all day long, guaranteeing each customer a fresh-out-of-the-fryer treat. From the moment you step into one of their shops and bite into their hand-crafted doughnuts, you’ll surely agree that Sidecar is not your ordinary doughnut experience. Sidecar is well known in Southern California and has been featured by numerous “Best of” lists and TV shows like “Unique Sweets” and Food Network’s “Best Thing I ever ate.”
