This place is the absolute best cafe i have ever been to. they have such fluffy and delicious croissant. 200/10

Cute cafe shop in the heart of La Jolla. We tried their salad and bowl which are pretty filling yet delicious. Mint matcha latte was great as well. The staffs were truly the one that make our visit special. Thank you Monica and Kayla who make us feel welcomed and the chefs who made these delicious foods. We'll be back!! read more

Parakeet Cafe - La Jolla - Crunchy Chinese Salad (gf, v) Grains & Greens Bowl (gf, v) Iced Mint Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Jolla, California

Parakeet is one of those standout local business that truly cannot be praised enough. I am a long-time loyal customer who continues to be surprised and impressed by the quality of the food, the skill and ingenuity of the kitchen, and the warmth and kindness of every single person who works there. What makes Parakeet so special is how everyone that works there truly cares about your experience and treats you like family. They are genuinely proud of their business and want you to be proud of it too. Lots of places in Southern California can make a show of offering healthier spins on favorites, but Parakeet stands alone in coming up with new things that quickly become your favorites. They are constantly tweaking and updating their menu while keeping beloved classics. Come for the green scrambled eggs but try out the new euphoria inducing protein waffle. This place even makes its own bread. A huge shoutout to Regina, Janelle, Maya, Neda, Calvin, Kayla, Mishell, Jaymie, Hailey, and everyone else for making Parakeet the foundation of our weekends. read more

Great tasting drinks, clean ingredients with minimal artificial flavoring! The baristas are friendly. My regular weekend spot to grab cacao chai latte. read more

Really cute cafe that was perfect for my little brunch date! It's pinky, cute, modern and trendy - perfect for instagram if that's what you're looking for. Warning, there's not a lot of seating so I wouldn't rely on staying here to work - I went during the day on a Friday and almost every table was full. You order up at the counter and get a number where they'll bring you your food/drink. I ordered a greek yogurt bowl and a green juice - this was definitely pricey coming in at $30. The bowl wasn't large, but it was fresh and filling. The perfect start to your day or snack inbetween meals. The green juice was also delicious, and I loved that it came in a glass bottle so I could take any leftovers home. If I lived close by, I would definitely frequent here for fresh and healthy food and juice! read more

I go to parakeet at least once a week. The staff is excellent‼shout out to Alec, Sidney and Mia. They're part of the reason I keep going there. They are Very friendly and are wonderful at giving suggestions of what to try. Plus the view of the cove from the patio.makes it an enjoyable experience read more

It's also so cute!! Love all locations! read more

After many years of coming here, my favorites are the eggs + salmon bowl and grains + grains bowl. The sauce is always so yummy. Everything from here feels so nourishing and doesn't weigh you down. I always leave feeling really good about myself. The staff always helps me decided on their big menu and is really patient (I get indecisive because everything is so good). The ambiance is young and very cutesy! read more

Toasts, delish. Bowls, delish. Baked goods, delish. The service is pretty good, but there can be a line sometimes. Seating can also be a challenge so I take food to go! read more

The one star is for the delicious Mexican latte which was perfectly sweet and spicy. The food though I can't even begin to tell you the disappointment in our meals. It wasn't just one meal but my husband and I were really shocked at how awful the food was. The presentation and the look of the place overall is so cute. Don't let that cuteness fool you. I'm vegan and eat vegan everywhere I go and this food would completely turn me off of trying Vegan for the first time. We had to ask for salt to try and muster up some type of flavor. That didn't do much. The other thing I noted was that not one person asked how it was or anything even when requesting salt. My Brussels sprouts in my bowl were also not cooked although they were supposed to be grilled. I literally had to chew one for like two minutes to be able to swallow it. I literally would say this place was the biggest let down as the reviews are so good I felt we couldn't go wrong... I was wrong for sure to go here. If you're into healthy bland food with no flavor I would definitely say here is your spot. read more

Excellent location, what an awesome view the people who work here are able to enjoy! I was going to ask if they were hiring, so nice! I really liked the girl who worked there because she had to put up with me asking to change my drink. I ordered the lemonade but it tasted like water. Really pretty drink and no matter how well she indicated how to mix it...still tasted like nothing to me. So I asked for a cappuccino and it was perfect, so I guess I should stick to my usual drinks. In terms of vibe for me is the terrace. Inside is more plain looking that other coffee shops from this chain. read more

Parakeet Cafe - La Jolla - Enjoying our matcha & zucchini bread at the shores!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Jolla, California

While I like the food at Parakeet, the service is not good. A few months ago I went there later in the evening and ordered latte and pastries. While the girl behind the counter was taking my order, another girl knocked a glass that was hanging above. The glass fell and shattered next to me on the counter. A piece of glass cut my hand. The girl somehow found it funny and literally laughed. I asked for the band aid, they told me they would look for it. Girls did not apologize for the broken glass that cut me, charged me full price, and never brought the bandage. I was honestly shocked at the whole situation. read more

They have the best and most healthiest food at any restaurant I've ever been. They have the sweetest most adorable server their name Michelle. She knows exactly what I like. She's very very kind and knows her menu very well. Their price is pricey, but the quality is supreme. I wouldn't expect the prices to be any lower. You know you're getting very very quality food with High nutrient content. Very very delicious food! I can't pick one thing over the other. read more

Came here for a quick bite to eat over the weekend. I enjoyed the Shakshuka that came with a very tasty charred bread. The Green Scrambled Eggs were good, not a ton of flavor, but it had a side of some type of house made cream sauce which was good. I ordered a fresh pressed juice which didn't have a ton of flavor, likely would not order again but I did enjoy my iced latte. The workers on the restaurant side were super friendly and attentive. The workers on the smoothie side were increasingly unhelpful and solely relied on customers using their automated ordering kiosk. read more

Good coffee, nice selection of baked and breakfast items, I am docking a star for being too pricey but you do get what you pay for.

My favorite place to have a bite. I have been a fan since Juice Crafters! I have a unique diet and it's very hard to find a place that hits all my don'ts, Parakeet is the one place I can go to and not worry about seed oils, dairy free options, and good to organic ingredients. This is how I eat and cook at home except at parakeet they have a pro chef that makes everything extra, well cooked and what you would expect from a Restaurant. Service is always great! Only thing is this location is super small, but it's also what makes it cozy. read more

Parakeet Cafe - La Jolla - All I AVO Wanted (gf, veg) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Jolla, California

The drinks were good and they give you a cute sippy cup. I had a vanilla cold brew. It was yummy

The Mayan Mocha was basic af, I hope if I order something else next time it's better. The avocado toast was pretty good, they should cut it in half though as it's quite big to be shoveling into your mouth. The Belgian waffle, which wasn't cheap, was super tasty with fresh fruit, different sauces, and even flowers which yea I did eat. 2 avocado toast, 1 waffle, and 2 lattes was $75...a bit overpriced I think. Ordered at the counter and they brought it out, service wasn't bad. The place overall was pretty busy with a good amount of seating but not enough for a large group unless you split up tables I guess. read more

it's a really cute location and the cups are adorable ! however i ordered a lavender matcha latte and.. i don't know what they made me... i asked if it was mine and they said yes. i was running late and didn't have time to ask them to fix it but one small miscommunication error won't prevent me from seeing how nice the staff was and the view while waiting is amazing !!! small little waiting area outside. can't wait to go back and actually try their lavender matcha latte read more

I've been here twice - first time trying a lemonade and second time their iced mint matcha latte. I requested extra matcha and the matcha flavor wasn't super strong but still good. They have a little patio that gives you an amazing view of La Jolla Cove! If you're looking to study here, they don't have any wifi, but it's a great place to read a book :) Definitely recommend Parakeet Cafe if you're strolling around La Jolla and want to stop by somewhere for a bev or a pastry! read more

For me, Parakeet is pretty much a guaranteed great coffee and food experience. I've been there many times. All of their drinks and food is top notch. The ambiance is also great, with its parakeet theme. There are several locations in San Diego, all of which are great. read more

My brother and I got absolutely skunked at blacks and needed a bite to eat to ease our pain. Found this little gem in a corporate plaza and Rod the barista is a legend. Great coffee and good bites. I wish they had more meat options tho. Cheers Rod thanks for the great service and better coffee. -Alexander read more

Found this cute place in La Jolla but I was disappointed with their matcha unfortunately. It taste like water down matcha. Not a hint of sweetener nor vanilla. The cup was also really small for a $10 matcha read more

This cafe and Juice bar STOLE our hearts! A MUST when in San Diego and La Jolla. I mean, WOOOOWWW! We were able to sneak in a quick breakfast before our whale tour at the Little Italy location, and thank goodness we did! My only regret is not visiting every single day for their exceptional breakfast and high-quality juices! I ordered the All I Avo Wanted - Blue corn, waffle, smashed avocado, feta, shaved radish, over easy egg, chili flakes, hemp seeds, salsa macha. I mean, holy moly. The delivery was beautifully executed and built perfectly. The blue corn waffle was moist yet firm. My mother ordered the Shakshuka - another favorite dish of mine that WOWed. You can not go wrong with Parakeet. Thank you to the divine chefs and baristas - you made Parakeet the most beloved restaurant during our time in California!!! read more

So happy to find this cafe serving delicious and healthy breakfast & lunch! Will go back asap read more

I love the whole concept. Super cute. My favorite is the lavender lemon mimosa. I'd love to work for this Company as I support eating clean and healthy! read more

Needed a very light snack and ended up here. I tried their Overnight Oats for $12 and it came out in a pretty presentation. It had plenty of oats and chia pudding which was filling and a lot of strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, bananas and even some mint leaves. Walnuts added nice crunchy texture. Tasted fresh... but everything ended up bitter after awhile and was very filling so I couldn't finish it. The cafe itself is small with some tables inside and more outside. I suggest outdoor seating. Service was good read more

Came here around 11:30 am, it was pretty empty. It's a pretty small restaurant, so we chose to sit outside. The lavender matcha latte was probably one of my favorite matchas ever. The blue corn waffle was also really good--I was skeptical at first but I'm glad I took the server's recommendation. The chicken sandwich was also good, although the chicken was a little too dry. Service was on point! read more

Visited the Parakeet Cafe for the fist time. It's such a cute spot for a meetup with friends, but most importantly very clean. I was indecisive on what to order and the Barista Neda and Andrea were super nice and answered all my questions. I ordered the Avocado toast and the vanilla macha uff let me tell you it was great. Lots of pictures prop opportunities too Andrea came over to check on my order and if I had liked the food. I had to write a review because this is one of the best customer service I have gotten in an long time. Everything was so delicious that I forgot to take pictures, I guess I'm going to have to come back read more

Parakeet is a nice little cafe in La Jolla that is a good visit for some coffee and tasty breakfast. They have all the coffee options with some cool latte and specialty coffee twists. They also have a pretty decent menu, all their breakfast options are pretty creative and definitely healthy. The location is awesome as it's right in the center of La Jolla so great for a morning stop before walking around. The only downside I've experienced is when there is rainy days, the inside seating is super limited. They have tons of outside seating so that's really the only case it feels cramped. Overall though definitely worth a visit and would totally recommend! read more

The cups are out of Legally Blonde. Love it! There seems to be another Parakeet Cafe nearby, which does serve food (this establishment is drinks only). We ordered the Ceremonial Matcha Tea, which is a higher grade than regular matcha tea. It's very similar to authentic matcha, with the iconic bitterness taste. read more

Got the berry cacao waffle, It looked very pretty and was no doubt very healthy, with coconut yogurt, homemade blueberry compote, fresh berries and chia seeds. The waffle wasn't crispy and i guess not as sweet as a normal waffle so i didn't enjoy it as much as a regular waffle with syrup. I guess parakeet cafe is more for the heathy minded, it was by no means bad just not my thing. If you're health conscious and want something thats good for you this is your place. I'd maybe come back to try something else, but the prices were kinda high so i probably wouldn't. If you're looking for something healthy and fresh then you're probably used to paying these prices. Im guessing the same clientele as Whole Foods. read more
