The customer service here is amazing, and I really appreciated being offered water while I waited. Oreo and Nutella donuts has filling on the inside. Blueberry donut was sadly not my favorite. Chicken with lemon and pepper was okay, they were on the smaller sides. Furthermore, it was hot when I went in the morning! read more

Duchess takes coffee & (mochi) doughnuts to an entirely new level! I could have eaten a dozen (so pretty), but the horchata twist was abs delish. Warm service, too. Anyone visiting the LA Convention Center and/or staying north or west of LACC should check them out (instead of Starbucks); you're in LA, live a little! read more

This replaced Birdie's, which was right next door. Pretty much the same menu. Even on the donut side. I was just going to get donuts, but then I changed my mind and went with a breakfast chicken sandwich. Everything is made to order, so it may take a minute or 2 or 10. The sandwich was the perfect size. I got it with an over hard egg. Chicken was tender. Bread was soft and the sauce added a nice touch. Then, as I was about to leave, I decided to order 2 donuts. I went with the Nutella (which is not filled, it's just a nutella icing) and the Blueberry. I can't give my reviews on these, yet, because they are the following day's breakfast. But, im sure they are as good as the last time I had some of their donuts. 2 or 3 ladies were working the establishment. All were very nice and helpful with all the customers while I was there. read more

First time trying this place out and we'll definitely be back! It's cute little spot to grab a quick bite, we had the spicy breakfast burrito and it was delicious. It also came with a salsa that complimented the burrito perfectly. They have limited seating but we were able to grab a seat where we were able to enjoy our meal. The cashier was very friendly and they got our food out pretty quickly. They also had some doughnuts that looked amazing, we didn't try them but look forward to trying them next time read more

Love this spot! Customer service !!! Breakfast burritos... wow!!!! So glad they are so close to us!!

My food was made fresh! I ordered the 8pc wings & fries. It took a little longer so the manager offered me a free drink while I waited. Both him & the cashier were very nice & addressed me by name after I told it to them. They were also sweet to my pup. read more

Love the breakfast burrito and salsa. Honestly a top tier service and patience of the staff to deal with the people in the city constantly!

Everything was killer! We got two donuts, spicy breakfast burrito, tater tots and latte. Everything was great!! The tater tot has such a good crisp to them and the fried chicken on the breakfast burrito sets it apart from any of its kind. Highly recommend!! read more

This place used to be Birdies, but like most rhino in LA, it's gone through a rebrand and I'd like to believe it's been a successful one. Come for the breakfast burrito and have a what I can only describe as the "fanciest doughnuts around" ( I wrote that in a snooty British accent ). The staff is super friendly, if you're like me, call ahead and order To Go. They do sell sandwiches and lunch, but I'm here for the grilled chicken burrito!! Craziest thing is you ask for a donut sample the kind ladies behind the counter may just give a little. I would post a picture but the food never last that long. They also sell coffee but I'm not a coffee drinker so I'm not gonna comment on that. This place never disappoints. read more

Absolutely one of the best wings spots ordered on Christmas because I didn't want traditional holiday food, honestly thought I would get rushed fast food, food was cooked with love wings fried to perfection chicken wrap was delicious I'm really surprised thank you guys read more

Best breakfast sandwich I've ever had in my life. I hate eggs but the flavor was so hidden in this sandwich it was amazing! I ordered the jr breakfast sandwich and it was big imagine the full size lol!!! I got a lemonade to drink. There's a beautiful mural to the side for photo op. I dined in. Open air concept. The name of the staff Nicole is AMAZING! She made the difference in this visit! Highly recommend! Would come again read more

Cute little shop on olympic, staff members are always nice and friendly. I have tried the original chicken sandwich, glazed donut, and cookie butter latte. The chicken sandwhich and donuts are super delicious. The latte on the order hand...i would not get again. I will definitely be back though! read more

Excellent service from Nina. She always embraces customers with the nicest smile, and even pretends to care about my day, as well! She even gave us a free donut after going back and forth about which one of two that I'd like more! Thanks Nina! :) read more

Duchess absolutely deserves the good rating it has. Duchess is run by the beautiful miss Danielle. She is very bubbly with a nice smile, and i can tell, she puts a lot of thought and effort into her interactions with her customers. She seems to make it a point to remember each customer and their orders. I had a flight to pack for and was tight on time but i would have loved to eat there and talk to her more. And the food... It may be because we dont have too many fried chicken places in Hawaii but this was hands down the best chicken sandwich, or even breakfast sandwich i ever had. I got mine with a sunny side up egg inside. The combo of the cheese, ranch, with the slight hint of fruity sweetness from the bacon is unreal. Latte was also really great, not too sweet, just how i like it. 10/10 will be coming back read more

Duchess - Chicken and bacon breakfast sandwich, tots on the side, hazelnut oat latte - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

While it's not my favorite fried chicken sandwich place, I am giving 5 stars because of the service, portion size, quality, and cost where it hit all the marks! This used to be called Birdies but it's rebranded now with a new owner, but same menu from what I can tell. I was hesitant with the new ownership but glad I gave it a try. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and it was the thickest cut of chicken I have seen on a sandwich yet where I had to unhinge my jaw just to bit through this delicious monstrosity. To add, they used legit Thai chili peppers that added a real heat to the sandwich I loved! The coleslaw was subtle where it added a nice crunch and refreshing bite without overpowering the sandwich in what usually ends up a saucy mess. I would definitely come back and recommend others to give it a try! The guy working was also nice enough to hook it up with a complimentary donut which was delicious! Parking always sucks because it's downtown so I recommend that you pre-order ahead of time, park in the alley way, and grab your food quickly! read more

I just started working in the area and came across this place on my Saturday morning by luck, the 2 ladies working there were super sweet and friendly, thank you for being so kind. Ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and it's a 10/10, will definitely return. read more

It took me a while to try out Dutchess, but I have been back multiple times since. I really enjoyed the breakfast burrito, donuts and coffee. The vibe, due to the staff, is exceptional. I sat, ate and observed the coming and going of customers. Everyone was treated like they had been coming in for years (maybe they have). Simply - being there makes me smile read more

Well, I got back to my loft and checked my order and it was incomplete when I came back. I got attitude I tipped 20% for this. No offer to comp donuts or nothing so this might be my last trip to Duchess, which used to be birdies. It sure changed since it changed hands sorry. read more

The chicken sandwhiches are excellent. The bun has a mild sweet taste and the chicken's got a good crisp. The hospitality and service was awesome. The girl at the counter even played the music from the band we had just seen at the nearby Belasco Theater. Thank you, Duchess, for the good eats and warm reception. read more

Duchess - Spicy chicken sandwhich - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been driving by this place on my way to work for awhile now, so I finally decided to drop in! Ordered an apple crisp donut. The server was so kind and helped me with ordering a Build Your Own Burrito. She suggested the fried chicken, and I took her up on her offer. I also ordered a chai with oat milk. The place is cozy, and unlike some places where people are rushing in and out, the patrons who come here were friendly and everyone interacted with each other awesomely (yes, I believe this is a word). Will definitely come back on a different day when I'm not rushing. This is definitely a slow down and chill place. read more

We stopped by Duchees around 7pm and were blown away by how fresh everything tasted, even the donuts, which you'd expect to get a little stale by the evening, were soft and flavorful! I ordered the 9-piece chicken with fries, and wow, the fries were perfectly crunchy and the chicken was juicy, crispy, and full of flavor. You can tell they don't cut corners here. For donuts, I tried the Boston cream and the blueberry. The Boston cream had a delicious custard that wasn't overly sweet and even had a subtle banana flavor, so good. The blueberry donut really stood out too, it tasted like real blueberries, not the usual artificial flavor you get elsewhere. I also tried two drinks: the matcha latte, which was very matcha-forward (a bit strong for my taste since I usually like sweeter drinks, but still good quality), and the horchata latte, which could've used more horchata flavor, but was overall solid. To top it all off, the customer service was amazing. The guy who helped us was super friendly and took the time to explain what was in each donut, he even convinced me to try two instead of just one. Great vibe, great food, and great people. I'll definitely be back! read more

So good! My coworkers rave about this place and finally copped their original breakfast burrito for lunch today -- so big, wish I got earlier to munch throughout the day haha I got the fried chicken inside and the caramelized onions were divine. The gal at the front was also very pleasant and cherry which I appreciate! Ambiance was chill; I like the open air vibes. Def will be back. read more

Best Breakfast Burrito ever. Server was also very nice. It was pretty hot though, and there didn't seem to be an air con. Other than that, would definitely recommend. read more

Came here for lunch with my colleague upon his suggestion to eat here and it was a great choice. I did not get to eat at their former location but feels like this place is a great spiritual successor. I tried the Duchess Bites combo and the portion was huge, each chicken bite was really big and I was expecting chicken nugget size, also comes with fries. I also tried the horchata donut per suggestion and it was delicious, I want to try other flavors on my next visit. You also get a free iced horchata latte upon checking in. I actually saw the offer after I came back from lunch, and decided to go back after work and latte was delicious. Definitely coming back next time. read more

Duchess is very unassuming from the outside but the food is out of this world. I've had the Jr Chicken Slider, fries, blueberry donut, Oreo cream donut and the best don't I've ever tasted: pistachio lemon. Go between 3-6pm and you'll be tempted to take part in Happy Hour where donuts are buy one get one free!! Ugh the prices, service and taste can't be beat. I live across the street and lowkey wish I never found out about this place lol it's a problem. read more

It was my first time trying this spot out! Service was great and the food even better! This spot is highly recommended! Will be back

Me and my wife were adventuring around Los Angeles and we found Duchess. We were dangerously close to being hangry and we needed a delicious treat asap. Like a sign from God, we noticed Duchess and took a peek at the menu. We ordered the strawberry Matcha latte, the Oreo doughnut and the breakfast sandwich (bacon and eggs.) The service was very nice and prompt... The food was delicious. A relaxing place for a quick snack and a sit down. Please visit and give it a try if you're close by! read more

Duchess - Original Breakfast Burrito & Honey Lavender Latte - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After a concert at the United Artists Theater, we were looking for a place opened to get good coffee (not a 7/11 quality coffee...) and saw that place... Ended up ordering a chicken sandwich (the original) a glazed donut and two americanos Everything was very good, Chicken sandwich had nice ingredients (not just lettuce or tomato), the chicken was crispy but not dry, good bun also Glazed donut was fresh with a good smell and a good texture and importantly not too sweet (not like these krispy kreme or dunkin donuts that are way way way too sweet) Americano was also very nice, good favor Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice place to get good food or coffee after hours! read more

Big plus being in DTLA is opening early to avoid the crowds or so I thought. Went just after opening on Saturday on a mini walk and there was one person waiting for their order. Plunked down a respectable $14 for a chicken sandwich which is probably the cheapest price you're going to find anywhere for a substantial portion and immediately about 10 people flocked right behind me aka the golden foot. One day someone's going to hire me to just stand in their shop for this reason. Already a very small area and loud music which not really to my liking I changed the order to go it took almost 25 minutes to make a chicken sandwich I think if you come for lunch you will probably have dinner here unless more staff is rolling out food, but anyways cute small place had no idea it's really tucked away on a side street and would have never known unless Yelp suggested it. Anyways after making it to go and ordering a regular fried chicken sandwich took it to the office a mile away and started wolfing it down. The bread leaves a lot to be desired it wasn't as fresh as should be, and prefer a nice toasted brioche. Besides that could not find flaws in the sandwich the chicken is a nice juicy breast not dried out and has a nice batter that doesn't separate from the meat which is rare. Not much flavoring in the batter but definitely a solid sandwich that I will probably come back and eat once in a while. Still the fried chick championship belt goes thru Fixins near the Lakers Stadium but they open at 10:30 I'm having none of that. For the price and portion it was quite solid I would give it a B+... if the bread was better it would be an A-. Friendly cashier greeting everyone in the morning and I like the variety they have you can have breakfast burritos with/without chicken but it just takes too long, even when they don't have any customers before you waiting... they need to speed up the process. So, more seasoning on the batter and better bread would make pretty much a flawless sandwich. Did the job though and served as a nice brunch very filling. There's some street parking right out front which you will have no problem finding if you're a Early Bird like me but besides that good luck I'm fortunate that I can walk here. read more

The original burrito was really good. Nice size serving!
