Great breakfast, just wish there are more choices so I can visit more often. I like the cool, airy and relaxing place. read more

Solid and reasonably-priced breakfast and brunch. Generous servings, and food came out fast! We were there with a large group and managed to find seating inside. Although it was fairly loud and echoey inside, there was also plenty of outdoor space alongside the sidewalk and front. We weren't rushed to finish and we took our time catching up. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was the yummiest breakfast sandwich that I've had in a while (the sauce was tasty). The latte was fairly standard. Overall, I quite enjoyed our visit and would go again. read more

Lost Parrot Cafe - Breakfast sandwich on regular bun! And a latte with almond milk - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Pasadena, California

My first time at Lost Parrot Cafe! It was a wonderful experience. A cafe where you order + pay first & then sit down. I liked the environment. A little bar area, plenty of seating inside & outdoor with tons of parking. Friendly people that casually talk to each other even if strangers. A bunch of regulars that knew the staff. I ordered the 6 oz steak & eggs as well as the smash burger with cilantro lime fries. The burger is an ordinary burger. Nothing special, but still good -- 7/10! The cilantro lime fries are like steak frites & you can definitely taste the lime -- 10/10. The steak & eggs was nothing special either, but it was soft. Cooked it a medium rare & over easy eggs perfectly -- 9/10! Great service as well! Friendly people. They even offered the leftover muffins so they weren't tossed at the end of the day. Overall, a lovely experience. A bit on the pricier end for the quality. Would come back again! read more

this place is meh. we came on a Tuesday and it was crowded, ordered and had to wait for a table to open when they handed us our drinks. Food was not good whatsoever, this was the most basic burger I've ever had for $17 dollars, wow! Latte was $7 and it tasted just like water with a bit of coffee, not good at all. I do like the decorations and how the tables are set up. Service was good, nothing to write home about. read more

Order before you sit on a table. Water, utensils are self service. Got the orange grove and dusty dena. I was not a fan of dusty dena, i couldnt really taste tge chai but irange grove was good. Very orangey. The coffee is really strong. It made my heart race like crazy. I liked the avocado toast with the crispy arugula and the tater tots. Tater tots were nice and crispy but soft on the inside. I would pass on the french toast sticks though. They were overly sweet for me but the fruits it came with were good. Surprisingly cooler than expected with the fan on and no ac on a hot day. Small parking in the back but you park on the streets. Decors are cute. There are random parrots everywhere read more

Lost Parrot Cafe is a cutesy cafe in Pasadena serving up breakfast, lunch and dinner! They offer coffee and alcohol which is always a plus in my book! The cafe is very cozy with big windows bringing in the natural light. You can sit indoors or outdoors. I didn't see a parking lot. But there were lots of street options. The staff were welcoming and very nice. I went with a Cobb salad and hubby got a burger & fries along with some drinky drinks. The salad was delicious! I had to remind them to bring the dressing, but no big deal. Unfortunately, hubbys food was cold. He's very particular with the temperature of his food but he's also not a complainer. The fries were good, they had this lime flavor seasoning. They would be amazing if they were hot. Nonetheless, I would give them another shot. Will most definitely come back to try their coffee. read more

Lost Parrot Cafe - Cobb salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Food/Drinks 9/10 Went with my siblings and we got the: -Breakfast Burrito -Breakfast Sandwich -French Toast sticks -Chai latte The breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich were two versions of the same idea, but both brought their own unique take and textures. Truly had a hard time deciding which I liked better and I think it would just come down to what mood I'm in because both were so yummy. The French toast sticks were delicious as well. They were sweet with a nice crisp and came with a side of fruit. I didn't have high expectations for this dish and thought it would just be small pieces of French toast, but they had such a nice crisp to them. All three dishes I would order again. Chai latte was unfortunately watery--would not order again. Service 10/10 Friendly, fast service. It sounds like the staff get a lot of regulars. Service is fast-casual service where you order at the counter, take a number, food is brought to you, and you bus your own table. Atmosphere 9/10 The decor was very warm and vibey, cute and modern a lot of plants. A fun summer aesthetic and would be a good place to study or bring a book. Would definitely love to do brunch here with friends. Looking forward to returning! read more

We enjoy the Lost Parrot so much we keep returning for more! Latin Cobb salad is well done, pepitas sprinkled on spring mix with choice of protein, a nice refreshing dressing that adds a tangy flavor to the dish. We also get the BLAT - bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato on toasty white flaky bread. Order a Lavender Lemonade on ice for a renewed sense of being! Enjoy this cozy family friendly spot. Order at the counter, get a number and self-serve coffee and water, condiments are nearby so you can help yourself to some hot sauce and to go containers. read more

Local small town favorite must try restaurant. Locals love the hip and relaxing ambiance here. I enjoy dining in here and ordering breakfast. There is indoor and outdoor dining areas. Free street parking and lot behind as well. Breakfast burrito is my favorite because it tastes good and has clean ingredients. It comes with meat of your choice, organic eggs, cheese, beans and I skip the cream. Will not feel too guilty after consuming this food. I do like their tots and fries which comes with your burritos (not oily). Taco Tuesdays during day and night is fun. Evenings alcohol is served. Omelettes and chilaquiles I love as well. I appreciate a tasty breakfast goodie. I normally dine in on weekdays which is easy seating but weekends can get crowded. I would like to finally try their coffees and lattes one day. Seems to be a favorite. Chai lattes are my fav. It is a hidden gem here. They sell local artist portraits, hand sewn goodies and even mochi baked goods. Thank you for taking care of our small but mighty town. read more

Lost Parrot Cafe - Taco Tuesday - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Pasadena, California

This place is a 5 across the board. Great food, amazing service, cool aesthetic, and the music playlist was A-1! Chilaquiles were so good. Crispy chips with a perfectly cooked egg on top served with just the right amount of salsa. The presentation was spot on too. Looked just as good as it tastes. The breakfast burrito was loaded with flavor. Every bite was better than the last. It will definitely fill you up. The coffee was amazing. They really put a lot of intention behind each ingredient used for their latte's. One of, if not, the best coffee + breakfast in Pasadena. read more

Cute little spot with decent tacos, good guacamole and chips, and tasty margaritas. I mostly come for Taco Tuesdays, which can get pretty busy, and the experience can be a bit hit or miss depending on the day. They have a convenient salsa and water station, which is a nice touch. Orders come out fairly quickly, and parking is available on the street or in the back. Keep in mind, there is only one bathroom, so there may be a wait during busier times. read more

Fantastic coffee and breakfast! Vibes here are really cute. There's an outdoor area with ample seating that's great for a nice warm summer morning. Indoor is cute too. Food was delicious, portions were generous and prices were, too. Coffee was 10/10 (they use Jones Coffee Roasters). Definitely a great place to check out. read more

Lost Parrot Cafe - Veggie Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Cozy, little cafe with a wide menu of various breakfast, brunch, and lunch dishes. My partner and I stopped by for some avocado toast and tater tots. I really liked the bread used for the avocado toast. It was toasted to the perfect crispiness and wasn't super thick, making it easy to slice through and eat. The avocado spread was creamy and flavorful, while the soft boiled egg added a nice touch of protein. As for the tater tots, they were very crispy, served as a generous portion, and came with a side of ranch sauce. This ended up feeling like a nice, fulfilling meal. I am not sure if this restaurant is always super packed, but it felt very crowded on the day that we visited. The vibes did feel a bit strange, like the employee was trying to rush us when placing our order. The interior felt pretty cramped without much space to walk around, and there is a bar in the back. Luckily, there are some outdoor benches and tables, where we decided to sit. Our order was ready within 10 minutes, which is a reasonable wait time. There is some free street parking available around the cafe, as well as a small parking lot located behind the restaurant. read more

Lost Parrot Cafe - Avocado Toast and Tater Tots - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Cute little cafe in SouthPas right off Huntington. Easy to find and has a full bar for all those brunch drinks. I ordered pancakes with a side of eggs and bacon for a total of $30 - pretty steep for a casual breakfast spot so I was expecting some pretty great pancakes. They were really REALLY dry and besides the blueberries, flavorless. The eggs were bland and the bacon was the only thing had a little flavor but then it's kinda hard to mess up bacon. Oddly enough the pancakes don't come with butter - you have to ask for the butter and slather it on the syrup to make the pancakes edible. If you're looking for just ambiance and cute charm, this is the place. But if you want actual good food, go elsewhere. read more

Now this was a find! During my walks, I walked next to this charming place. I'd see people enjoying themselves with the food and drinks they were partaking in. I told the husb we have to try it. I'm glad we did! Although it was lunch time, we opted for breakfast like items. The husb had the breakfast burrito, he said there was lots inside of it and it felt plentiful. The burrito had bacon, tater tots, eggs beans and cheese. He also enjoyed his tasty Bloody Mary. He highly recommends it! I had the classic breakfast, which included eggs, sausage, toast and potatoes. Very plentiful and tasty. Coffee was delicious as well. The ambiance is very relaxing, there's inside and outside seating. People with cute dogs usually sit outside, it's an old charming building. Employees are friendly, ready to strike a conversation if not too busy. We'll make it a regular on our brunch rotation! read more

Quaint neighborhood cafe- free street parking- indoor and outdoor pet friendly seating. Order at register- food brought to table. Friendly staff. Good variety of menu options. Enjoyed the yummy bacon avocado toast- was able to request how egg was cooked and asked for a couple items omitted and was cooked perfectly as requested. Bread for toast was fresh and all elements together made a delicious meal. Serve your own coffee and water. Coffee was fresh and smooth. read more

I came on a Saturday morning and found parking easily right in front of the the restaurant. I am a creature of habit and ordered the Breakfast Burrito without the turkey sausage and got extra bacon instead. It is so delicious with the eggs, onions, beans, cheese and potatoes. I love that the tater tots stay crunchy. It comes with tortilla chips and salsa. So yummy! Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is bright and airy and we were fortunate to get a table by the window. read more

Lost Parrot Cafe was good and I'd definitely come back to try other items and drinks. My husband and I tried their chilaquiles and breakfast burrito. Both were good, but definitely nothing super great or delicious (which is okay, not a bad thing). We've just had better so it may be worth us trying out different items from the cafe instead. We didn't get any drinks but some of their coffee menu did really interest us, so we will have to come back to try. We came on a Sunday morning where it was busy but not too much. We found seats immediately after ordering and it seems to move pretty quickly. The service was also great! read more

My wife found this brunch spot and we decided to take a gander at the restaurant over the weekend and we weren't disappointed. Unfortunately, we visited on a day where they were holding a private event. Thus, dining in wasn't an option so we ordered to go as they were going to close earlier on that day. My wife and I ordered the Avocado Toast & the Tater Tots to share. Food took about 5-10 minutes to come out and was delivered via the back bar area. Service is pretty fast & were pretty friendly, semi-professional vibe as well which is a plus. Avocado Toast Very different from the avocado toasts I've had in the past. Very easy to cut, portions are big, and it comes with a half egg. I could tell that the toast was freshly made and it provides a "healthier" side of the dish. Love everything about the dish and will always be a recommendation for anyone who wants to visit this cafe. Tater Tots This dish surprised me in a good way. Portions are once again, massive. Each tater tot is bite size which is nice, very crunchy & savory. Best part of it is that it's not too salty and compliments well with a drink. Sauce that was provided with the tater tots is highly recommended to use. I absolutely love the interior, very tropical forest type style, outdoor and indoor seating, and definitely the next time I visit again, I would like to dine inside the restaurant to taste their amazing quality of food in a more non rushed way. Perfect brunch spot for dates. read more

Lost Parrot Cafe is becoming a favorite for our breakfast/coffee dates. The food is great, service is super friendly, and I love being surrounded by the lush, green plants. Don't tell my husband, but sometimes I'm daydreaming about owning the plants for sale instead of listening to him talk haha. Shhh! Food today: - Breakfast burrito (a yummy classic. we split it today. served with perfectly salted chips and salsa. love the microgreens. - Side of bacon (would have preferred it not so crunchy but still good) - Cheese danish (have them warm it up..so much yummier than it already was as is) - Vanilla latte with almond milk (strong espresso, a go to of mine) Can't wait to go back. Will definitely be bringing home a healthy, fluffy hanging pothos. read more

This was my third time at Lost Parrot Café, and I'm so glad I came back again! I tried the chilaquiles rojos with carne asada and they were absolutely delicious. I finished every bite! I also had a matcha latte with no sugar, and it was perfect smooth, earthy, and refreshing. My friend had the burrito bowl and a latte, and she loved her meal too. The service was great friendly and welcoming and the ambiance is beautiful. I'm a nature lover, so seeing all the green plants around the café made me so happy.

Was in the area with a friend and Lost Parrot looked so cute, so we decided to try it. I loved all the plants everywhere. It felt very cozy and jungle-y. You order at the counter, get a number, and then pick a table. Plenty of spots available when we came around 1:30. Ordered the Cilantro Lime fries but added soy chorizo and guac on top. They were very well done, almost shoestring style fries. I liked them, but I didn't taste any lime. There wasn't much cilantro either. The soy chorizo was good but it had more potatoes mixed in which was weird. Guac was excellent though. My friend had the farro bowl and that looked much better. Super fresh and healthy. I'll probably try that or one of the salads next time. Service was relatively quick, which was nice. Parking was a little tricky, but I found a spot on the street. Overall it was pretty good! Ambiance was definitely a big factor. read more

Our first Taco Tuesday at Lost Parrot Cafe and it was a pretty solid choice! The vibe and ambiance is so warm with the greenery, warm lighting and friendly service. The cafe is typically open until 4 pm but on Tuesdays they have tacos from 4pm - 8 pm. The place was busy but not crowded and the dips and chips were decent sized portions! They recommended the Chicken Tinga tacos which were so flavorful, and we also ordered carne asada tacos. What makes this really great are the handmade tortillas and the condiment bar which allows you to customize your tacos to your liking. They had picked onions, carrots & radishes, diced white onion, cilantro, salsa verde, salsa rojo, lime, etc. Will definitely be back! read more

Decided to stop by this place for a coffee and some food to go. I ordered a latte which came out quick, unfortunately my food order was lost and I was left waiting 30 minutes before being told their system had crashed and my order had been lost.

Lost Parrot has become one of hubby & I's favorite brunch places and we're always happy to see any pups as well since they're dog friendly. Our go-to's are: -The Orange Grove Latte, my favorite! A bit of orange aroma with chocolate + coffee. Yum! -The Dusty Dena Latte, hubby's favorite! Chai Tea mixed w/ Coffee. A little spicy and very aromatic. -Latin Cobb Salad (add carne asada or grilled chicken), a filling salad! Probably my favorite thing to order most. -Chilaquiles (add carne asada), usually comes with 2 over-easy eggs. Love the pickled veggies that are included for the perfect *chef's kiss* bite with a little bit of everything. -Ham & Cheese Omelette, a filling dish too! Come w/ potatoes and toast. -SmashBurger, a fave for the hubby when he's craving a burger and not brunch. -Cilantro Lime Fries, I know I said I probably wouldn't order these again in my original review...but these grew on me! Especially with their garlic aioli. We'll also occasionally order a pastry they have on display (like coffee cake) or some sweets like their pancakes. Their service is generally fair. It does get busy during peak brunch/lunch hours most weekends. You order & pay first, then grab your number and a table. Indoor and outdoor seating available. They have one unisex bathroom available, that's generally fairly clean. Parking is either street parking or they have a small lot in the back. They also have signs around that you can ask to book an event here, and I just feel like their decor and aesthetics and charm already make it a good venue. read more

We parked on a nearby side street and walked over--easy enough. There was a short line, but it moved quickly. We ordered a vanilla latte, white mocha latte, ham and cheese omelette, and a farro bowl at the front counter. Service was quick and polite. We ended up sitting outside at a small table since all the indoor seats (surrounded by a bunch of cool-looking plants) were taken. Definitely a nice space--would've been great to sit inside if it had been an option. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I really liked the omelette--simple but well done. My wife wasn't thrilled with the farro bowl. It looked good but felt a little incomplete. Some chicken or other protein would've made it more satisfying. Lattes were solid across the board. All in all, a pleasant spot with good service and a relaxing atmosphere. I'd come back, especially for that omelette. read more

My family and I came here for breakfast. I had never been here before. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant and it is a pretty tight fit. We came here Sunday morning and there weren't too many people. The place did start to fill out later into the morning. There is some seating outside as well. You order first at the cashier then find your seats. Breakfast burrito (4/5): The burrito had bacon, turkey sausage, beans, eggs, cheese, tator tots, and cilantro cream. It was your standard breakfast burrito. Portion was decent. Not enough sauce though. It came with a side of chips and green salsa. The menu has a good variety of items. Classic breakfast choices. I would probably come back again. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the coffee was a huge letdown... multiple times. I ordered a latte and it was obvious that it wasn't prepared properly. The espresso and milk didn't come together like a real latte, It honestly felt like they were serving a coffee drink without knowing what actually goes into making one. I'm not expecting perfection, but when you're paying cafe prices, you should at least get a properly made latte. Definitely not worth coming back for the coffee! read more

One of my go-to brunch and lunch spots in the area! Cute little tropical themed restaurant with both brunch and lunch options. This time I ordered the Latin Cobb salad with chicken; the salad had lots of toppings: pumpkin seeds, feta cheese, carrots, radishes, and a full egg. The chicken was a tad dry, but the salad overall was pretty filling and tasted fresh and healthy. I also ordered the seasonal "parrot spice latte" which is their version of a pumpkin spice latte. I do think their food is better than their drinks; their iced coffee often tastes a little watered down. Great pace to enjoy some Sunday brunch and enjoy some outdoor seating! read more
