    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 :)

    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.

    Absolutely love this Parakeet cafe location! Their food and drinks are so delicious. Roderick and Zinna are the best baristas! Their personalities and amazing customer service has me coming back day after day. They've become an essential part of my week. They make an effort to remember your "usual" order and the quality of product they put forth is always 10/10. I bring colleagues and clients to this location because the ambiance is cute, intimate, and a true coffee house feel. Can't recommend this place enough.

    Lavender matcha latte

    Couldn't make it through my day without stopping in for a coffee or matcha here! Roderick and Zinna always are a delight and make some of the best coffee I've had, even while the café is crowded and bustling. Definitely recommend for good service, good coffee, and for the cute garden area outside!

    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.

    I found this wonderful Café ftom Google Maps, I wanted to find somewhere to wait for my friend's Appointment... Menú has a large selection of Breakfast, Lunch items as well as healthy items. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl with an Americano

    in office building. easy parking. got the breakfast burrito and it wasn't that good. everything was just mushy. nice space though.

    Love a seed-oil free, organic spot. My not so crunchy fiancé was skeptical about my decision to go here at first, but absolutely loved the burger. He ate the entire thing and said he would come back in a heartbeat. The Chinese chicken salad was insane and loved the dressing. The matcha was also great as well as ceremonial grade and organic! Loved this spot and will definitely make it a go to spot when down in La Jolla!

    Salted Maple Latte

    I love coming to this parakeet cafe! Roderick and the team are always super friendly and welcoming and the drinks and food are always delish! Love to come here for my caffeine fix!

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

    As a visitor, we heard such great things from locals about this place. The place totally lives…read moreup-to its hype. Spicy Basil Fried Rice was the best of the lot we ordered. Pumpkin curry was delicious as well. The fake meat was well done too. Generous amounts of veggies that have been very well cooked in all of the dishes. We ordered high spicy levels and it was just perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Appetizers were decent. Desserts were a disappointment. Mango sticky rice was not up-to the mark and another dessert we ordered was just milk with floating tapioca balls.

    ***USP: vegetarian Thai food where "medium spicy " is a 3/10! Most if not all dishes are terrific…read more My kind of place where the food is amazing and the prices don't burn a hole in the pocket. We went to 4 restaurants during our trip to San Diego and all places were picked after a lot of research and this was easily the best among the lot. In addition to our research, this place was recommended by our sailboat captain as well. ***AMBIANCE AND SERVICE: as with most Asian restaurants, the servers were in a hurry to take the order and get it going asap. Our orders came out at lighting quick speed as well. Ambiance is decent enough for a date night. ***FOOD: First the tom yum soup, it was bland to look at it, veggies floating in a clear broth. But the taste was on the other end of the spectrum, it was spicy, sour and deliciously addictive. The veggies had a wonderful crunch as well. Easily the best version of this soup I had in recent memory. What didn't work: We got a whole bunch of dishes to share. Most of the dishes were floating in a lot of oil. The eggplant had a lot of deep fried oil taste as well. The two desserts we ordered- mango sticky rice and tapioca pudding are worth skipping. The sticky rice was a sweet and salty flavor profile and the mangoes weren't sweet. The tapioca pudding was a bowl of hot milk with small chewy balls. The flower cup appetizer somehow failed to harmonize, worth skipping this as well. Finally the other appetizer- fresh rolls had a tough rice paper wrapper. Why still the 5 stars you ask? Cos rest of the dishes were amazing and delicious. I can see myself going back often if I live in that city. The fake chicken wasn't anything like chicken but delicious nonetheless without tasing like tofu.

Additionally, I redeemed my bday treat today for the strawberry muffin, and he surprised us by putting an extra one in our bag. Great customer service and looking forward to returning! What we tried - the new green coconut curry. Delicious! If you like a creamy curry, you'll enjoy their version. Only things I wish was for more veggies and maybe the option to have brown rice instead of white. I think you can add a protein, so if you get this, I'd recommend adding tofu! Would be delicious with this plant based protein.

I was hoping to see abundant lettuces, some avocado, healthy pieces of roasted turkey, punchy gorgonzola vinaigrette. I got what seemed like not a lot of lettuces, watery diced up sliced turkey spread throughout, some fresh avocado, and a mild but tasty vinaigrette, and some good pickled onions. So it wasn't what I was expecting for a Cobb Salad, but rather felt like a watered down and small version. Chicken Kabob had only small diced up chicken, no chunks of chicken like you might expect and no smoky flavors. Tuna poke had some good raw tuna, rice, greens etc. But what I really felt like was going on here is that instead of price inflation we have portion reduction. All our bowls were on the smaller side, though the prices are still decent for what you can get nowadays. Lunch for four almost $100. Just not deeply satisfying. Service was quick and prompt and there is plenty of great outdoor seating. Looking for an ok healthy bite you can go here, but reality did not meet my expectations here.

I was dreading parking but somehow, only went around the block once and found parking less than half a football field away. I can only guess at how bad it would be during the lunch and dinner rushes. It was metered parking but it was Sunday and IYKYK. Otherewise, read the sigs and be ready to feed the meter. Service was patient and warm. Wondered if it was a one man crew as our server, host and cashier was one person. He would be there and then he wouldn't. Left me wondering if he was also cooking or at least helping in the back of the house. It wasn't busy - my friend and I were one of three parties/tables. Not that we needed much but there was a moment when we wanted more injera ... which leads me to the food. The injera was nice and spongy - great since it's all hands on deck, no utensils. If you've never had this cuisine, know that the injera is like your plate and your utensil. Use it to soak up and grab the veggie and meat dishes but just be aware, you eat too much of it too fast, and it'll fill you up just as fast. The dishes are on the mild side as far as being spicy. I would have loved it spicier however my friend doesn't handle heat but the flavors made up for compromise of not ordering fire. We weren't able to finish it all and couldn't bring it to go as we were on the road from LA but would have gladly taken it for leftovers for another time. I would have added more seasoning and some heat to tickle my taste buds. Don't read into that - that it wasn't good - I do also appreciate when places favor less which allows me to add because if it's too heavily seasoned, diluting certain dishes is tricky and in some cases not worth it IMO. Note: if you've had this cuisine before, know that Muzita does Entrees - not combo's. One or two orders and you should be good.
