Accidentally came during their happy hour. Got their chicken jr sando ($3.50), banana cream donut ($4.25), and horchata donut ($3). Everything was pretty average. The chicken sando was like a mini Chick-fil-A and Popeyes sando combined. Their donuts were light and fluffy and not dry but very light in flavor. Mostly just tasted like sugar. Workers were very nice tho.

The bacon breakfast jr sandwich was incredible and the horchata twist donut was delicious. A very simple, chill vibe inside, but I took my stuff to go. The service was great and I’ll definitely be back.

Google maps is a little confusing because of the name change (which is Duchess). It’s a very cute shop that offers everything you want at breakfast: doughnuts, coffee, breakfast sandwiches and burritos. They have an “early bird” special that lets you get a breakfast sandwich with tots & coffee. We ordered two of those in addition to a breakfast burrito and a chocolate doughnut for a toddler. The coffee was a little burnt, but the tots and sandwich were (the good kind of) fire. The original breakfast sandwich was awesome, as was the chicken sandwich. In fact, the chicken sandwich was easily one of the best I’ve had – even though it was a chicken breast, it was very juicy and freshly fried! The burrito was also fantastic: well flavored and prepared.
The hospitality was also great – the employees were very friendly and kind: creating a very welcoming environment. The only drawback here was the wait time: since the food was being freshly prepared, it took much longer than expected for food, but it was worth the wait. Something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a quick stop!

Let me just say the staff here is AMAZING!!! They’re friendly and talkative and make it a point to remember your name. Ugh I love that! It makes you WANT to come back because of how welcoming the atmosphere is! Also I loved my strawberry matcha latte and pistachio lemon donut! I took a really bad picture since I was already eating/drinking. But that should just contest to how much I enjoyed it!

This place felt like a little league concession being run by junior high kids who have never worked in a restaurant in their life. Birdies may have been a good place (I never went) but it seems to have shut down and is “reopened” as Duchess. Duchess was a horrible experience and the food was terrible to mid at best. The staff, while very polite, did not seem like they knew how to run a restaurant. We had to repeat our order several times and they still forgot something. The chicken breading was inconsistently fried and flavorless. The cheese on my sandwich had cooled & hardened by the time it got to me. We basically only ate the fries, and they were just okay. The donut was also mid. Definitely nothing like pictures of it I’m seeing in reviews from a while back. The hot chocolate was just a gigantic cup of steamed milk with a tiny splash of syrup added at the end. It wasn’t even mixed in.
Basically, it seems like someone has tried to revamp this recently closed restaurant and they’re doing a terrible job of it so far. Oh, and we couldn’t see a health inspection rating anywhere.

The place is under new management or changes its name. Look for Duchess
Service was good and no issues with taking my order or the food received.
Food was great. The quality of the chicken was amazing and the sandwich was massive. Lots of options for donut flavors – recommend the pistachio lemon

Loved everything I tried here. First, and foremost, as you walk into the shop, the first thing you will see are these beautiful donuts, waiting for a kind heart to take them home
I tried their breakfast burrito and it was spectacular. Their heat level did not disappoint, the quality of ingredients used was fresh and delicious! Also, tater tots are life and Birdies knows how to meet expectations on this front.
Their donuts were exquisite and I thoroughly enjoyed their variety, which includes horchata and bacon-maple flavoured donuts.
Their coffee offers are solid and, the most important thing is that everyone I interacted with was friendly, welcoming and very proactive. I loved my experience here and can’t recommend it enough.
Lastly, this place, like many places in LA, is pet-friendly

Superb, friendly customer service plus they offer samples to try the donut flavors.
Small minimalist black & white interior, regular fresh hand made donuts with inventive toppings. I didn’t try the free-range chicken sandwich but it looked delicious. I had the maple bacon and the cinnamon toast donut, both were delicious.
