This post is more breakfast than brunch, but I thought to post anyway. Sidecar hasn’t opened yet, but it is going through a pretty strong launch.
Before it officially opens, this shop is slowly building a following and testing out their products on the public by giving out free doughnuts and coffee every Saturday morning, 8-10:30 a.m., in November.
I went this morning and while there was a significant number of people, it wasn’t so much that it was overwhelming and everyone could get a doughnut. I was able to snag an apple fritter, but a lot of people were waiting for the Samoa doughnut. Sorry, no pictures, one hand held the doughnut and the other held my coffee… so I couldn’t do anything else. Thus, all the photos seen in in this post are stolen from the Facebook page.
While I like fritters, they’re not my favorite, so it was kind of heavy for me. I did like that the taste of apple and cinnamon was pretty distinct. It was soft and how a fritter should be though. I definitely want to go back and try the Samoa (heard so many people talk about it in line)!
For coffee lovers, they’ll be serving Stumptown Coffee! I had Stumptown when I was in Portland and it was good!
Other flavors that will be serviced include: Huckleberry, Birthday Cake, Rosemary-Honey, Lemon Poppy, among others.
Having trouble finding a pic of the apple fritter, but here’s a pic of the sought-after Samoa (courtesy of the Sidebar Facebook page).
Thank you to my friend Kambria for the “scoop” on this place!
