    This isn't birdies anymore, it's called "Duchess." Looks like it's the same concept of chicken, donuts, and coffee. Instead of the dark aesthetics, everything is white. I think the derive is good. The person who took my order spoke really low.. had no idea what he was saying. lol

    Breakfast Sandwich w/ Chicken & Bacon
    Phillip W.

    I ordered the breakfast chicken and bacon sandwich. The scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy. The chicken was very juicy. Bacon was a perfect amount of crispiness. The portions were big too which I appreciate a lot. The staff members there were extremely friendly! Even with a lot of orders coming in, they still made the time and effort for each customer.

    Breakfast Sandwich with Egg and Chicken

    Ordered takeout through DoorDash. While the restaurant name is Birdies, the signage at the restaurant is Duchess. Food was ready for pickup by specified time. I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich with Egg and Chicken. IT WAS MASSIVE. I only ate half but the chicken tender in the sandwich was hot and crispy. Will definitely come back again!

    We tried the Nashville Chicken and the Spicy Chicken Sandwich--both were fantastic! The Spicy Chicken Sandwich had the best-ever crunch with just the right level of heat. Absolutely addicting. We also sampled a variety of donuts--Lemon Thyme, Nutella, Boston Cream, and Horchata Twist--and each one was amazing. Unique flavors, great balance, and super fresh. The staff were incredibly friendly and even offered us free donuts--such a thoughtful touch! It's a small spot, but there's enough seating for a casual early dinner. All around, a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

    I walked by this place to pick up lunch I already ordered. I was mesmerized by the fresh , delicious smelling donuts! I walked in and had to get some. Ended up ordering their check sandwich was delicious as well. Small and cozy place to have a coffee and donut or have the lunch. Their hours are amazing extended for anytime of day or night. Only con: parking is horrible. No street parking and you have to pay $12 just to park for five minutes to get your food. It's not their fault though that's downtown for you lol.

    Since we were sort of the in the area for Anime Expo, we grabbed some Birdies for a brunch before heading to the con. We got the: 1) Birdie Bites: -Scrumptious pieces of boneless wings? Popcorn chicken? It's bite sized breaded chicken. -Nice and delicately crispy on the outside and moist chicken meat on the inside. Good for a snack. 2) Horchata Twist: -This just tastes like a cinnamon glazed donut. It's in a long braid shape and there's a bit of caramel drizzled on top. -Not bad but it's just a standard donut. 3) Potato Salad: -Decently sized container of potato salad. -Less mayo-y and more peppery than other potato salads and came with a decent amount of celery bits inside as well. 4) BYO Burrito: -We got this with scrambled eggs, tater tots, bacon, and caramelized onions. -It's a medium sized burrito lengthwise and is stuffed to the brim. A bit greasy from the tots and caramelized onions but they helped to moisten up the scrambled eggs. -Solid breakfast burrito. For the sauce we got the chipotle mayo which had a nice initial kick, smoky taste, and nice lasting heat. Went great with the Birdie Bites and the BYO burrito. Knowing it was this good, I probably should have ordered more. Overall, not bad!

    Horchata Twist

    tl;dr the well-executed donuts are moderately priced and sport a more approachable flavor than their ambitious ingredients might lead you to believe Recently, both The Donut King documentary and a New York Times article highlighted Los Angeles as a donut destination. Between countless mom-and-pop shops and local chains, the Southern California donut market is as competitive as it is saturated. And from this competition, donut-eries have adapted and specialized. Enter Birdies, a sophisticated fast-casual venture developed to free-range fried chicken and premium donuts. The brick walls outside the DTLA shop are painted with a creative Albert Einstein mural. The interior opts for an industrial-chic aesthetic. The exposed HVAC system and warm, filamentous globe lights hang from the tall ceilings. Black-and-white hexagon tile decorates the floors. The unadorned menu lays against the slate gray wall on the left, above a colorful pastry display with classic and adventurous donuts alike. Noncontiguous wooden counters and iron barstools run along the exposed brick wall to the right. Uptempo contemporary R&B mixes with chatter among the staff. I arrived during the late weekday lunch service, and there was only one other patron. I opted for a Horchata Twist. The donut itself was simultaneously fluffy and chewy, reminiscent of the best traditional corner store imaginable. The frosting was interesting and enjoyable but admittedly safe, more of a cinnamon-forward maple flavor than unabashedly horchata. My donut ran $3, while more expensive offerings ran as high as $4.25. Between the price and execution, Birdies was a high-end spin on the classic donut shop, rather than a pretentious and overly ambitious artisanal store. If I wasn't already full after my Horchata Twist (and my preceding lunch), I definitely would have been game to try another variety -- the Pistachio Lemon Thyme will sadly have to wait until next time.

    Blueberry Glazed Donut
    Eileen M.

    Customer service here is great! As I looked around a bit confused, they helped me pick a combination of a spicy and original jr chicken sandwich. For some reason I have a sweet tooth today... so it is chicken with a side of donuts for me. They were very helpful and informative the whole time we were here. Cute shop with limited seating. We were lucky enough to get parking right in front, but since this is downtown, parking would be hit or miss. This is a good place for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacky time. Order---- Jr chicken sandwich: one original, one spicy: Wow, so I only ate half of each to save room for a little bit of donut. The spicy one has a lot more flavor, I would probably stick to this one next time. The chicken was plump and moist. The pickles and slaw made the bite complete Blueberry Glaze donut: This donut is what I needed. Needed a little sweet after the savory spice, but still not too sweet. Since the donut is a little thicker, it was proportioned great with the blueberry topping. Lemonade: This is delicious and not too sweet either. Great on a warm day like today 83 degrees. And we got a refill since we ate in! Very picky on lemonades and this is a great one.

    Walking around at 10:30 AM looking for an open food place that's already serving lunch items and came across Birdie's, and we were reminded that we meant to come back to try their Chicken Sandwich. And we did. The Birdies Classic was delicious. That was a real whole piece of chicken bread, battered and fried to perfection. The bun was soft and warm. The coleslaw dressing was excellent. The Spicy Birdies Sandwich was also very good. The heat wasn't just coming from the sauce or batter: it was in the meat itself. At least that's what it felt like. There was no line to order. There was a bit of a wait before we got our food because they made it only after we ordered it. The Iced Tea was unsweetened and tasted awesome! There is a small bar seating area inside and a couple of small tables outside.

    Delicious when fresh! Crunchy, meaty and flavored well. Ordered delivery. Good portion per order.

    Every time I eat here, the food is divine. I bought a sandwich, lavender matcha, two donuts and some chicken bites this week. I recommend the chipotle mayo. The flavors are out of this world and the chicken is fresh, delectable and always breaded and fried to perfection. I love a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and slaw. This sandwich is at the top of my list.

If I were a being of greed, I would have eaten more of their donuts, but since this was a special occasion and people genuinely wanted to eat the donuts (since sometimes I know that food is left in the breakroom for awhile if people aren't interested in consuming it), I only tried one donut. I got to try their Yo La Mango. Love the bright yellow, slightly tart mango glaze and the dash of Tajin on top. It's sweet, tart, and has a slight kick wherever the Tajin was sprinkled on. Never had a donut like this before. Would love to come in person to try out more of their donuts one day if I ever make the trek out.

My mouth is watering just thinking about the black sesame donut. It was perfect! This spot is located in a small plaza with very limited parking.

They have a variety of flavor like black sesame, dubai chocolate, creme brulée, etc. The place is clean, visually organized and appealing. When we were there, it was a one man show. He was the one taking the orders and preparing the orders. Even when it got a little busy, he was super nice and patient with everyone, specially us who kept asking questions about their products. We ordered the following: * Black sesame - this was my fave. It has black sesame with mochi and red bean paste and they all complemented so well. * Creme Brulée - very tasty with a little crunch from the creme brulée. Not overly sweet and with a generous amount of filling as well. * Coffee Creme Brulée - this was like the creme brulée with a hint of coffee. Almost like a mocha flavor. It was also good! * Pistachio - this was also really good. It was not overly sweet either, perfect filling ratio and complemented well with the bread. Overall, their donuts are definitely one for the books. It was soft and delicious. Amazing customer + amazing food = highly recommend it!
