Sidecar Doughnuts & CoffeeAt Sidecar, we don't just make doughnuts — we're revolutionizing the way people experience them. Everything is made from scratch, in small batches, with the best ingredients we can find. That standard starts before sunrise, in the hands of our bakers. If you take pride in craft, work clean and fast, and want your work to be the reason someone's day got a little better, read on.Why SidecarOur mission is simple and ambitious: revolutionize the way people experience doughnuts. We pursue that every day through three commitments — bringing people together, creating meaningful experiences, and crafting everything with excellence. For a baker, the third one is personal: the product you make is the product our guests fall in love with. We aim to be "The Happiest Part of Your Day," and that goes for our team, too. Sidecar runs on five values:Warm. Kindness in action — toward guests and the teammates baking beside you.Fun. We're serving doughnuts, not curing cancer. The work is serious; the spirit is joyful.Fresh. Stylish, refined, and original. What we make is distinctly Sidecar — never a copy.Creative. We experiment and refine so we never grow stale, while staying true to our roots.Excellent. High standards, no compromises — in product quality, consistency, and cleanliness.What You'll DoOur bakers work across several stations and grow their craft over time.
