I love Parakeet cafe. Today I tried Baja bowl (which is new) . It was amazing, I hope they keep it on the menu. I added seared salmon to elevate it. It was delicious! I also got a mango smoothie but it was way too sweet for my liking. The kind waiter offered to change it, so I got a green fix smoothie instead (no agave) and it was perfect , tasty and so healthy! I will get it again for sure. My client got power rancheros and he loved them. Side note; Is very hard to find a spot that uses avocado oil for cooking, organic flours and no artificial junk added to the food. For dessert we got a a zucchini loaf and peanut butter chocolate shortbread cookie. Both GF. No other cookie compares to that one. Is my favorite! read more

I love love love love this place! They have delicious baked goods, muffins, croissants, bowls, and so much more! I loved the mushroom toast. It was lemony, filled with aragula and truffle oil. It is a must try. I pulled one star out giving this place a 4 star because the front door staff to me is of the utmost importance and I had to deal with the most unpleasant, unfriendly, miserable staff with not one smile- Come on owners- put a welcoming and pleasant staff at the front while ordering. Put the grouch in the back AWAY from all humans and let sourpuss stay away from anyone having to order from. Love the food, but customer service for all of us is of importance so we are definitely not going back. read more

Love this place! My husband and I ordered the Parakeet Bowl, Verde Chicken Wrap, Protein Bomb Smoothie, and the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, and everything was absolutely delicious. What really brought us in was how much care they put into the quality of their ingredients, and you can tell that thoughtfulness carries through to the food. Kim was also incredibly friendly and helpful and made our experience even better. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

First time trying this place and I can't wait to go back! I genuinely loved everything. I got the teriyaki bowl, which tasted amazing all mixed together, and the honey cinnamon latte, the flavor was so smooth! The staff were super sweet, and it's such a cute cafe with a great vibe. I parked on the street, so I'm actually not sure if they have a dedicated parking lot, but I'll definitely be back. read more

I absolutely loved the drinks at my Parakeet coffee stop this morning; but the service was what truly made an impression on me! I was greeted and served by the lovely Dana this morning. I had let her know it was my first time, and I was curious about the healthy drink options available. Dana was so kind, knowledgeable, and friendly- even in the early morning hours!! Coffee was delicious and rich, which is hard to find these days with all the coffee shop chains around LA. I will definitely be back, and hopefully greeted by her once again. read more

First time here, and Kim was extremely welcoming and helped me navigate the menu. Truly knew the ins and outs of everything and gave me really great recs. Definitely won't be my last time coming and will 100% tell my friends about this place!

Welcoming staff! Especially Kim was very helpful she told me to try the Baja salad and I added a salmon to it and it was fantastic I will make sure to come back for that salad every time I'm in Brentwood. Absolutely delicious! read more

This place is solid! Came here for with a run club (shoutout carb loaders!) and ordered the strawberry matcha (on special, not regularly on the standard menu) which was very refreshing post 5k. My order of power rancheros came out next, which had 3 over easy eggs and a lot of red sauce. 44 grams of protein alone, but I added the roasted chicken for even more. We were a 30+ person group so they laid out a special spot outside in the back, which was covered but was very pleasant. Drink and food came out pretty quick too, so that helped since I was ravenous and thirsty following my run! Would definitely come back because their menu is very diverse! read more

Not as good as it used to be, unfortunately. The blue corn waffle and egg is one of my favorites, but the waffle wasn't as crispy this time. The surfer burrito was gone, replaced with a basic veggie burrito that was just meh. Very sad to see them take this off the menu. The chilaquiles were ok, definitely not healthy, and the order could use an extra egg. Latte prices are up to 10 dollars with alternative milks, which is exorbitant. This used to be a place I was excited to share with others, but now, I'm reluctant to go back. read more

I live in Laguna so my family usually goes to the Newport location. We have family that lives more local so despite normally going to Beverly Hills we opted for Brentwood. What a mistake. They had 4 staff members working and a decent line of people. The reason for the line is because two of the staff members, a man and girl with red/black hair were engaged in conversation about her being hungover and at work while the other two girls were tending to coffee and cleaning the restaurant. I do not want to hear about your personal businesses when I am trying to spend a nice afternoon with my family let alone have my little nephew hear about how it's ok to be drunk and party. This is supposed to be a family establishment, or so I thought. I had to ask for the code to the restroom at one point and again had to interrupt those same two people who were now still having inappropriate conversations but doing so showing each other things on their cell phones. The food was medocre. I did not like my salad and the one short girl noticed I didn't eat it and after asking if I wanted a box and my telling her I wasn't pleased with it, she immediately asked what they could make me to rectify being dissatisfied. That's proper customer service. I opted for a Baja bowl for my husband. The latte the other girl made was very good and she was sweet. The pastry case had flies in it which deterred us, obivously, but we did buy a packaged banana cake as we always enjoy that in Newport. Point being, we will return to Beverly Hills when up north but never Brentwood. Two decent employees do not make up for the lack of ethics and morals of the rest. We did not spend over $100 to feel like we were an inconvience and to have to be exposed to inappropriate talk and behavior. Maybe I am old fashioned but I certainly do not want my young nephew hearing curse words and party talk. Whoever is in charge here needs to be fired and they need to re-staff or re-train poeple as to what's appropriate work behavior otherwise they will just continue to lose customers. read more

I personally don't normally love kale so perhaps this was my own fault, but I was very underwhelmed and the kale was quite overpowering. If you're looking for ggiata this isn't it. The avocado toast and the soup were great though according to my friends! We visited right after our barre class and it's such a cute spot! I look forward to coming back and trying something else on the menu!

Cute location! First found this spot in SD so I was excited to learn they have an LA location. Decor and vibes were similar to the OG SD location with the staple decor and drinks. I ordered the season pumpkin spice latte with cold foam which was as expected, just a little too sweet for me but still overall, a good drink if that's what you like! Loved the indoor and outdoor seating with WiFi. My friend and I ordered drinks (listed and a matcha drink not pictured) and stuck around to do work. Be aware parking may be tough on street and there's parking lots in the back but I believe they are only vallet. I didn't drive around to explore that area much but I did walk around before returning to my car. read more

The tofu teriyaki bowl with quinoa is so favourful, Spicey and delicious! This wasn't on the menu so you'll have to ask for it because it's on the menu with chicken but I eat plant based so the tofu substitution was perfect for me. Also, everyone here is very friendly. read more

Guy behind the counter was SO nice. I got a smoothie and cold brew. Love me some syrups made in house. Delicious. Very cute spot to hang. I got there very early in the morning so it was quiet. Not sure if it would be loud if full but really loved the quiet calm open ambience. read more

This is always our favorite place to go for healthy good food. Today we experienced something that don't often and that was they forgot to deliver a drink we ordered. When brought to their attention Kim was so apologetic even though it wasn't her that took the order. She took charge of the situation and brought us a pastry just to apologize. And apologized she did!!! And she wasn't even the one involved. We were so impressed with her one team mentality and how nice she was about it. It was that extra step that makes the customers feel so good. Thank you Kim!!! Please recognize her!!!!! read more

Parakeet is one of my favorite local coffee spots! They have top tier coffee and their food menu is clean, filling and comforting, all at the same time. Breakfast Burrito and Truffle Scramble Toast are a couple of my favorites! The staff is always working so hard, and always remembers my name and order, always a welcoming vibe! Very vegetarian and gluten free friendly too! read more

This place is so good, I always get the All I Avo Wanted which is a corn waffle with avocado, feta, egg, and salsa macha on the side and it all goes together SO well. I was so full at the end and it feels healthy and good quality. My boyfriend got the chicken Caesar wrap and really liked it, he even added some of my leftover salsa macha and said it worked so well. There's always seats available and the staff are kind. Love how close it is to Brentwood Country Mart too for a nice stroll afterwards. read more

The food here is excellent! I especially love the All I Avo Wanted with the blue corn waffle. It's got protein from the avo and the chewy carbs from the waffle and delicious garnishes. It's my fave when I want something filling and delicious when I'm doing some work or reading at the cafe. Staff are also extremely friendly and helpful esp Kim (who is possibly a store manager?). I come here all the time for the combo of good food and a nice upbeat vibe for getting some work done. read more

Delicious food, great vibe. Kim took great care of us. A beautiful morning with great friends.

Adorable location with quick service. A really cute spot to have a drink, alone or with a friend. The coffee was absolutely the highlight, flavorful and exactly what we needed! We ordered a squash soup as well, it just wasn't necessarily my favorite. The flavor profile was a little strange, as well as consistency. I would definitely go back for the coffee and ambiance alone (just not the biggest fan of the food). read more

Although i am a foodie, i tend to avoid driving out to LA because the traffic is trash. But i would drive here again to bring my husband. After visiting a friend in Westwood, i figured Brentwood would be the best area to fit my dietary needs and bomb found this spot on Yelp. My friend and I stopped here for brunch, parking was super easy. They have a UG structure to park and they validate! We decided to get the Cesar wrap and the smash burger and split between us. I got the pink lemonade and she got the Arnold Palmer. They were both perfect and not sweet at all! The wrap was so refreshing and not soggy at all (that was my main concern) i liked that they opted for kale instead of the normal lettuce. The smashed burger was heaven. The bread was fluffy and the patty was great, i will say it was a little sweet for me, but i believe that's from the caramelized onions in it. It was kinda oily, but that's what you expect from a hamburger so def don't eat it if you're trying to cut lol The service was great, they were quick to bring the food and made great recommendations. Before we left we got a drink to go; i got the cold foam matcha and my friend the protein smoothie they had. Both were really good and not sweet (I'm not a huge sweet fan lol ) i also got a pear tart! It was really good, i found i like the crust more than the filling but im like that with most tarts. Overall would come again, def the perfect picture spot or place to get a good tiktok video for! They decorations were nice and it wasn't loud at all. 10/10 ! read more

I went to parakeet cafe today, and besides how cute and yummy the place was, the employees really made my whole experience! Specifically, a sweet young lady named Charlie. I came in, I was hesitant about what to purchase, and she thoroughly explained the menu to me, and even threw in some of her own recommendations in. We even got to talking about the area itself (as I'm from La) and she was so welcoming and helpful. Parakeet cafe, you did a good one with hiring her! read more

Hello Everyone, we live just a few blocks from the Parakeet Cafe (26th and San Vicente) which use to be Le Pain- we loved Le Pain for it's tasty healthy menu. Since they left several places have occupied the space with no success until now. PARAKEET CAFE gets it!! They offer healthy, tasty options! If you are tired of getting healthy foods from Erewhon give this place a try. And Kim who served us was a sweetheart making it all the more enjoyable. Bring your pups as we did, they can even make a healthy dish for them. There is seating inside with an nice peaceful upbeat atmosphere and seating outside in the front or behind the shop if you want a more peaceful experience. And after breakfast you can wander over to the Brentwood Country Mart to shop! read more

Not enough star, soo good. My son had the Acai bowl, I wanted to steal his to go with my breakfast. I selected the Shakshuka and it was tomato heaven. The bread was just right, light and sturdy at the same time, perfect to get every last drop of the Shakshuka sopped up. Had the coffee beverages of necessity for vacation wake up. A vanilla breve and a cold creme vanilla brew, perfect flavor, no need for added anything, and dessert for our late breakfast was a brown butter chocolate chip cookie, a nice treat post meal to finish our coffees with...additionally to the first review, decor is spot on, not too much, not too little, great esthetic, good vibe that does not distract, well done. read more

TOO LOUD! WHY? Since the Palisades burned down, we have been going to The Parakeet. The service is great. The food is good. BUT the ambiance is not for one reason: The music is so loud it's beyond an environment where people can gather and actually have a conversation without speaking very loudly. Over the last two years, the music playing inside seems to have gotten louder and louder. It's to the point now where you can hardly have a conversation with someone across the table from you. When I've asked for the music to be turned down, I have been told that they have a certain level that they have to keep the music. But it's very, very loud. At first, I was happy to have found this little gem. But each time I attempted to bring a friend or have a business meeting there we could hardly carry on a conversation without speaking very loudly, at times almost to the level of yelling, for the other person to hear. What is the problem? This issue has been raised over and over again. There is not one other restaurant anywhere that keeps its music that loud, blaring out of speakers everywhere. It's causing you to lose business. The other day I asked a friend of mine if she wanted to meet at The Parakeet or The Great White and she said, "Not the Parakeet. It's way too chaotic in there with the music blasting." So we went to The Great White. With this said, we are all 60s kids, so we know about loud music. We are definitely not old folks just complaining about cool music. But this is a cafe where the purpose is to join friends, eat, and share. So while mentioning this to others I was told that it is the owners who insist on the music being at the level it is. The staff there seem literally afraid to turn the music down. To wit: There is a review here where another person wrote about the music. Although she received a nice response thanking her for her feedback, you will notice one of the owners did absolutely nothing about it. What is going on? I've never been able to understand this utter resistance by the owners to keep the music pumping and churning so loudly that it's hard to enjoy your meal or your time with another person. And another thing. The Palisades Village is reopening August 15 with many lovely places to hang out, have a nice coffee, tea, snack and meal without having to beg for the music to be lower so people can at least talk. IF you have the combination of great food and a great ambiance, you have a winner. Without both you will consistently keep losing your loyal, returning customers. read more
