Dodo Bird Donuts
Nestled in the coastal neighborhood of La Jolla in the iconic “Piano Building” sits Dodo Bird Donuts, a daytime café boasting tropical interior design while serving an ever-evolving menu of premium espresso drinks, rare teas, bone broth, glazed and fancy seasonal donuts made fresh each morning, soft serve, breakfast sandwiches, vegan dishes and more. World-class architecture and interior design firm, Georgis & Mirgorodsky, created the spirited café who, in partnership with local husband-wife owners, elevated the bird behind the logo — incorporating colorful tones throughout the entire space including banana-leaf wallpaper, brass and rattan accents, all the way down to the Hawaiian Anthuriums that decorate the café tables, for a vibrant setting by which any dining guest is struck as soon as they enter the space. With thoughtful, locally sourced ingredients to pair with every menu item, this café is perfect for the San Diego local as well as the seasoned traveler.
