Pastry Chef Ramon has put The Dodo on the map with his rotating selection of mouth-watering pies, cakes, and cheesecakes — all baked in-house daily in The Dodo Bakery.

Pay us a visit and see why The Dodo has been a staple of the Salt Lake experience for over 40 years. Always fresh. Always friendly.
"The Dodo was a large, flightless dove which primarily because of its gentle dove-like qualities, became extinct in 1680. The Dodo (Raphus Cucullatus) was without doubt the largest, strangest dove ever to have lived."
