Had a great experience at parakeet. Local spot with healthy options and a friendly staff is always a great bonus! Anastasia helped me during my visit and was a breath of fresh air during the busy work week. Took the meal to go but would love to come sit outside on their outside patio sometime soon. read more

DAVINA IS THE BEST!!! she is the best service and the best at making drinks!! I will definitely come back just for her.

Amazing service with a smile and delicious food. I had the breakfast burrito for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Eating outdoors with the sun shining and breeze blowing was peaceful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hailey and Kim were the sweetest cashier and server. 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

Parakeet Cafe - Brentwood - Acai Bowl (gf,v) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were a 30+ person group so they laid out a special spot outside in the back, which was covered but was very pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

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

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

Guy behind the counter was SO nice. I got a smoothie and cold brew. Love me some syrups made in house. Delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute spot to hang.

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

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, [[HIGHLIGHT]]decor is spot on, not too much, not too little, great esthetic, good vibe that does not distract, well done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I love coming here when we visit family! Love that they don't use seed oils or refined sugars, have paleo/gluten free options and you can even add collagen to your coffee. I had the egg and salmon plate which was delicious. My husband likes the breakfast burrito. We also enjoy getting the little chocolate protein bars. I can't wait to come back. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's always seats available and the staff are kind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love how close it is to Brentwood Country Mart too for a nice stroll afterwards. 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: [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music is so loud it's beyond an environment where people can gather and actually have a conversation without speaking very loudly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over the last two years, the music playing inside seems to have gotten louder and louder.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's to the point now where you can hardly have a conversation with someone across the table from you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At first, I was happy to have found this little gem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What is the problem? [[HIGHLIGHT]]This issue has been raised over and over again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is not one other restaurant anywhere that keeps its music that loud, blaring out of speakers everywhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's causing you to lose business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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? [[HIGHLIGHT]]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[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Had a great breakfast, found this place and is a gorgeous cafe we had the waffles, eggs and granola and it was all delicious and beautifully served. Service was great and they accommodated the changes to the food we needed and even had the giant matcha and coffee changed to a to go service as we hadn't finished them. Would recommend this to visit if you are in the area read more

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 asked that pickled onions on avocado toast be switched to plain onions and was told we don't do that. The cashier said the kitchen is strict about this. I have never been told this at any restaurant. First time here and will be the last. Non accommodating and then asks for tip. All she did was punch in order. Not impressed. read more

Davina is amazing!! She was so sweet, and the service was incredible. Such a great experience!

I LOVE parakeet. I've been to every single one of them multiple times. But I've noticed a trend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music volume keeps getting louder and louder. It's to the point where to have a convo you have to almost yell.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has crossed a threshold of where it doesn't feel good sitting inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I asked them if they could turn it down and they checked with the manager and the manager said it's controlled by corporate and not able to be turned down. So I sat there eating my 10am breakfast sipping a latter while club music blasts...all knowing my ears would be ringing when I left. Guys- I love you. Turn the music down. Don't kill the vibe. read more

Didn't have a good experience here for my first time. The woman at the front taking my order was extremely rude, insisting if I'm not ready to help someone else.
