Food: The smoked salmon egg and toast was the best smoked salmon toast I have ever eaten. It was beautifully plated and looked very aesthetic. The flavor combination was so good and balanced, with nothing overpowering the other. The toast itself was perfectly toasted. The salads are okay but pretty and the teriyaki chicken bowl was pretty good in flavor. Everything is on the healthier end yet enjoyable. Service: The service was super kind, patient, and helpful which made the experience even better. Ambiance: The cafe is very open, bright, and spacious with a really aesthetic feel. It has such cute decor. It is located within a business area inside one of the buildings. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibes are really chill and it is not a super loud or busy type of place. read more

I absolutely love coming here for my daily caffeine fix! The space is definitely a little hidden inside of a corporate biotech building but the advantage is that there's this beautiful community garden that gets monarch butterflies right outside and a bunch of outdoor seating always available. Super cute! The food is really solid and there's plenty of options with a menu that changes every so often (bring back the chicken noodle soup!!). The almond croissant is one of my favorite snacks to get. Other recommendations would be the breakfast croissant sandwich, the shakshuka, and the breakfast burrito (level it up by adding turkey bacon!) I think that what really keeps me coming back though is the amazing staff that runs this place. Roderick always makes sure that everything is absolutely perfect. You can tell that he really cares about making sure your order is exactly the way you want it and that you leave completely satisfied. I just really appreciate the level of attention and good vibes that Roderick and the team always give out. read more

I've been to the the other Parakeet location in Del Mar and I had to say this is better in my opinion, mostly because it's more of a co-working space so you it's not extremely busy and noisy, making it a perfect place. It's also bigger than the Del Mar location and it has a loooot of couches, tables and high tables inside as well as some outdoor tables. I believe it's in a shared office space and there are a lot of offices in the area. I ordered a latte and it was great! The staff was also very friendly. Il definitely come back next time when I'm around this area :) read more

One of my favorite places to have lunch as well as grab a chai or cappuccino on the way to work. The breakfast and lunch options are healthy and delicious, from the toasts and special bowls (the Parakeet Bowl with salmon is one of my favorites) and tempting desserts. The staff is exceptional and Roderick always goes above and beyond and makes everyone feel welcome. I especially like the atmosphere and the beautiful garden. I can't recommend it enough and it is my favorite place to take people for a birthday lunch or for a meeting. In regard to parking there is both a free lot (it can be a little tough to find the first time). There are 15 minute spots in front of Parakeet which makes it super easy to grab tea or coffee in the morning. read more

Wow. Drinks: Amazing tonic selection. Or champs in a bottle, or cold pressed coconut water... or a super fresh and yummy Latte! What's not to love? Food: Delicious, fresh (and nutrient dense!!). So many options whether you want sweet or savory. I've tried so many dishes at a few different locations and I'm never disappointed. Service: always cheery and helpful. Decor: bright and uplifting. Love this place. This particular location is in an office park and can be a little tricky to spot. Just head inside of the "office building" for a nice surprise. read more

Parakeet Cafe offers delicious healthy food with a cute outdoor patio to enjoy the meal. Charcoal Waffle (5/5) - the coconut cream and date syrup were fantastic with the Belgian waffle. This dish was perfect to share with friends. Power Bowl (4/5) - filling bowl with well-cooked vegetables which paired great with the spicy labneh Chicken sausage (2/5) - although homemade, I wish there was more flavor and spices to bring a more breakfast sausage flavor read more

Parakeet is such a great place to get your daily coffee, tea, and pastry fix! The beans they use for their espresso are really flavorful and balanced. They also have a fairly extensive food menu with options that sometimes get changed out, which helps keep lunches interesting. Plenty of tables and seating with a super cute garden in the patio area outside. Roderick and Zinna always go above and beyond to provide great service and great conversation! read more

Parakeet Cafe - Lavender matcha latte - Vegetarian Near Me - San Diego, California

The first thing that stood out to me is the service. Roderick the manager was super attentive, kind and gracious when handling our order. He was very detail oriented with our order making sure there was nothing that we were allergic to in our meal. Taking that time and care is something that we have found to be super rare. The food was fresh and prepped made to order. Everything was really yummy. The coffee was also super delicious. I also appreciated how many options there were that were vegan and gluten free both savory and sweet. I almost always get the salmon, and it's fresh and perfectly cooked every time! The space is big and clean and outside there is a beautiful and much loved veggie and flower garden. My girlfriend and I spent a good 20 minutes just in awe of it and all the happy plants, butterflies and bees. A hidden gem for sure! Will be back! read more

It was ok, just come for the atmosphere not the coffee! The food was also not worth it in my opinion.

Parakeet is awesome! I work nearby and go almost everyday for coffee and food. The poke bowl, chicken teriyaki bowl, and the Best Burger Ever are my favorites. Shoutout to Roderick and Zinna for always making me feel welcome. Highly recommend you stop by! read more

Amazing place!! Love everyone who works here, they are super friendly and kind. Plus amazing matcha too!

Parakeet Cafe - Vegetarian Near Me - San Diego, California

I really love coming here to parakeet. I work nearby and have been coming for about 3 years now for lunch. Food and drinks are pretty pretty good! With some of my favorites being the ceasar wrap, shakshuka, eggs Benedict, and lavender matcha late. Sadly, they discontinued some of my favorite dishes (surfer burrito and power bowl), but they are always looking to add new items that have been great. Really appreciate the staff! They are usually pretty quick with my order and always transparent with how long an order will take if they are slammed with people. Rodrick and Zina are super attentive and always welcome feedback. read more

This place rocks your socks off. If you are an employee in the alexandria business buildings, you get a discount. This is a really nice and relaxed eatery in the business park. It is almost offensively pink, but I dig the vibe. Everything I have tried here is phenomenal, but with the prices, it is a treat to eat here. There is a lush organic garden right outside, and if you need any tips for your own garden, the gardeners are there every afternoon. Come check this place out and enjoy some good food and good coffee! read more

Super cute cafe tucked in the middle of a small campus of office buildings. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, and the decor is so cute! I love all the pink! I ordered the Thai bowl with tofu and a London fog. The London fog was delicious! Definitely hit the spot. It was the right temperature and not overly sweet at all. I did like the flavors of the Thai bowl but felt that it was oversaturated in sauce. If I didn't add on the tofu, I don't think that I would have liked it as much. The tofu was very tasty and had a great consistency. I did like the different textures within the bowl and it was fairly filling. For $8 add-on price, I wish there was at least 1 more piece of tofu. read more

Phenomenal! Healthy food with a beautiful atmosphere, can sit out on the patio or indoors and both are comfortable, spacious, clean seating. Food options are endless and they are easily willing to accommodate on modifications. Prices are reasonable for the portion and high quality ingredients. Got the power bowl with a side of chicken sausage and fresh greens. This was AMAZING. The potatoes, roasted mushrooms and cauliflower with heirloom tomatoes were to die for, with the hummus/zatar sauce it was so flavorful and the side salad was a great addition. The chicken sausage patty was a little overpriced for just one piece but delicious nonetheless! Would go back again for sure. Service was great, order at the counter and they deliver your food to the table. I'll read more

This is a newer location tucked in a building, but easily recognizable by the ample outdoor area and cute decor. The inside and outside are both spacious, and offer a variety of seating, including a large table perfect for a casual business meeting. The food here was 10/10. I had the avocado toast which was perfectly crunchy and an awesome flavor. The beets really make this plate. The salmon I added and was perfectly crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. This is a cute breakfast/lunch spot. Service is 10/10 and extremely helpful as well. There is a good variety of food and drinks even for the pickiest of people. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area :) read more

I've been working my way through a variety of Parakeet's locations. Their coffee and coffee drinks are absolutely fantastic. So far my favorites are the Avocado Toast (a little spicier than some but the Harvest Toast is less so), and the Surfr Burrito. I was a little skeptical at the idea of a their cauliflower Chorizo but it was absolutely fantastic. Mad respect for not taking the easy way out and using a prefab soyrizo. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Really friendly and attentive customer service. Interior feels slightly all over the place because it's in a corporate building but I appreciate that it's clean and very open. We ordered quite a few things, and while we all had different favorites since our tastes vary, we all enjoyed the food and want to come back before our trip ends read more

I found Nirvana! I was so happy yesterday when I found another cute Parakeep coffee shop-eatery so close to my work place! Soooo cute, comfortable to work from there and across one of those amazing corporate farms, so everything you get is farm-to-fork (well, except the coffee, I hope it comes from Colombia:). This is going to be my secret place, but I cannot keep secrets and I love to socialize. So hopefully more people who work in the companies nearby can be as fascinated as me with the parakeets in the wall papers! It is very spacious and that communal table in real wood is super. The whole atmosphere is girlie-letstakeaselfie and post on Insta vibe that I love. The music they put is also very cool and even attending work calls was not very disrupting. Can't wait to try all the various breakfast items in the next few days! read more

This used to be Green Acres but now it is Parakeet. Came here the other week for lunch to try it out since our office is next door! SERVICE - The staff here are great! The two we interacted with were very friendly. FOOD Cacao Waffle - The waffle is beautiful! The presentation was so good but the taste did not match it. The waffle itself was very mushy. It did not hold well. It almost seemed undercooked. The coconut yogurt on top was very sour which was really odd. Belgian Waffle - Same presentation. Such a pretty waffle. This was better than the cacao but it was slightly dry. Breakfast Burrito w Chicken - I am a huge breakfast burrito girl so I wanted to try this. For the most part, the flavor was good. It was definitely "healthier". Some of the potatoes were undercooked and hard though so the inconsistency of the food was a bit disappointing. Overall, some food improvements to be made. Hopefully they can work out these kinks! read more

After one bite we (family of five) said we are coming back. The was nothing left (and the portions are solid) of our salads, breakfast sandwich, fresh juices and desserts! While counter service, Roderick was personable and timely, taking this experience to 10 stars out of 10! So glad my son will most likely choose UCSD (after today's tour) so we get to come back here over and over again! read more

We had a delightful lunch here. The food is so healthy and fresh but be prepared to pay for the high quality. I ordered salmon salad and an iced lavender matcha.

Had brunch with a friend. They must be busy at lunch as the tables are crowded so close that it is difficult to navigate. ( I am a thin guy) This is further an issue as this it the type of place that you stand in line to make an order like a fast food restaurant and then given a number. (they do not take cash) The poor delivery person had to contort. Which may explain why my $7 decaf coffee with almond milk in a 6 oz cup was only 1/2 full ( no refills) I had a tasty $19 dollar waffle and my friend had $23 burger with a 2 inch meat patty that he said was overcooked. (like a hockey puck) He added some of his salad to make the burger edible. We got the general impression the food is made offsite and reheated. The credit card screen expects you to tip for them to take your order. read more
