If you want to sample the wares at Sugar House's newly opened Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee, plan to show up early and wait in line.
The intrigue: Crowds queued up at 2100 South and 700 East before the California-based chain's official grand opening at 6:30am Friday.
- An hour later, the line wrapped around the corner.
What's inside: A selection of specialty yeast and cake-style donuts, with flavors like cookies and créme, huckleberry and strawberry buttermilk.
- The shop bakes its donuts fresh each hour.
Zoom in: My family's favorites were the salt & butter, vanilla bean glazed and Saigon cinnamon crumb.
By the numbers: A half-dozen costs $25, with a dozen for $50.
