Location location location! Walkable to downtown. Comfortable accomodations. Nothing like the sound of crashing waves outside your door :)
We always enjoy coming here. Besides being a great place, the staff is extraordinary.
This has become one of my favorite local spots due to the friendly staff (special shout to Olivia), warm atmosphere, and tasty coffee. I have come to grips with the prices, as this is an extension of a high end restaurant Paradisea and their location is prime. I mainly stick to iced Americanos, the sausage rolls, and donuts, but their Gringo breakfast sandwich is very tasty.

DODO BIRD Donuts is a small, casual spot in Bird Rock that offers a variety of sweet treats, especially donuts. The donuts are soft, fresh, and come in creative flavors, often leaning on the sweet side. They are doughy and dense, resembling cake, and the icing is particularly good. The selection can sometimes be limited, with the shop frequently out of donuts even if pre-ordered. The ambiance inside is cute, making it a nice place for a quick grab-and-go treat, but it is more suited for casual visits rather than a sit-down meal.
The food menu includes items like breakfast sandwiches and a breakfast burrito, with the latter being a highlight. However, the kitchen, shared with Paradisea, sometimes struggles with proper cooking, especially with eggs, and the overall quality does not always match the price paid. Service experiences vary; staff can be quick and friendly or inattentive and disinterested, with some incidents of poor hygiene noted. During holidays, staff was described as amazing, adding to the mixed reviews.
Beverages like coffee and lattes are considered average, with better options available nearby. Some customers find the donuts to be affordable and better than cheaper alternatives, appreciating their doughy texture and icing. Others feel the prices are high for the quality, citing slow service and basic pastries. Parking is mostly street parking in residential areas, making access easy but limited during busy times. Overall, DODO BIRD Donuts is a fun, sweet spot with good donuts and a casual vibe, though inconsistency in service and quality can be a drawback.
