    With so many options for healthy food in the area, the bf and I settled on Parakeet Cafe. I like the fact that they have so many healthy options available. I ordered the Parakeet Bowl with chicken and the Strawberry Matcha Iced Latte with Oatmilk. The carrot salad was the only thing I liked in this bowl. Chicken was dry and rice was underdone. As for the strawberry matcha, I mainly tasted the strawberry puree with barely any taste of the matcha. The milk kept separating, so you had to keep stirring it to keep the drink incorporated. The bf ordered the Best Burger Ever. Definitely has a cleaner taste than the burger I had at a different spot. This was just okay for me. For dessert, we ordered the salted brown butter chocolate chip. We couldn't taste the brown butter and the chocolate chips were super large chunks that when warmed, it gets all over you. Perhaps smaller chocolate chips so it's not so messy. The ambiance is airy and open, which I liked. A casual but upscale fast casual restaurant that missed the mark for me for this visit. Customer service was good and food came out timely.

    Cute place for breakfast. Came here with a friend and got a latte and breakfast plate. They had tons of pastry options as well as warm breakfast. My friend and I shared a pastry. Was busy, but not too difficult to find a table with a short wait.

    Salted maple latte and Cold Brew

    My friend and I came here on a Sunday around 1 for brunch. There was a little line but it moved quickly and the servers were friendly. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I got the rancheros and my friend got the burrito. The portions aren't huge but it was definitely satisfying and not overly heavy. We loved the way the place was decorated and they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (shaded too!).

    Matcha Latte Refresh Acai Bowl (gf,v) Harvest Toast (v)
    Julie H.

    Cute parakeet themed cafe. Friendly & welcoming staff. Harvest Toast 5/5 heirloom tomatoes were sweet and juicy. The toast was delicious, light and refreshing. I also really enjoyed the "Refresh" cold-pressed juice: apple, pineapple, orange, lemon, strawberry, and mint. Acai Bowl has fresh fruits and the house-made granola is great. I wouldn't get the matcha latte here. You can definitely get better elsewhere.

    No matcha at 9:30am on Tuesday
    Elena D.

    It's 9:30 Tuesday morning and they run out of matcha :( That's why I couldn't order it on the app, but hoped they have it in person... Nope.

    Cafe right in the corner of the mall with plenty of both indoor and patio seating Large drink menu with coffees and other lighter options like spirulina Hot chocolate was absolutely delicious. Their muffins were large and hardy. Plenty of bakery offerings like cookies, croissants, scones, muffins and wafers

    Protein Waffle
    Lianna T.

    If we had more mornings in San Diego, there is no doubt we would have returned. An abundance of healthy and gluten free options, in a fun and colorful space. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. We ordered the protein waffle (GF) and a banana bread loaf. The protein waffle was shockingly delicious with no protein powder or gluten - how do they do it? The loaf was also very tasty. Please come to Austin so we can try more menu options!

    Matcha latte with pumpkin spice fall special
    Diane Y.

    Parakeet Cafe has always been a healthy and tasty higher end quality restaurant with lots of delicious options for various appetites. This is vegan squash soup with sourdough bread. Plus a wonderful pumpkin matcha latte. If you want a nice place for a special lunch or brunch or a coffee date, this will be for you! And the staff are always nice and friendly.

    Hot Chovolate

    Wow! Wow! Wow! An awesome lovely place! My husband wanted coffee but with something different and this place is all pink and soon as I saw I was like I need to date my daughters here so awesome. Our server was young lady so pretty and so helpful she got me her favorite drink and my husband hot chocolate and we tried the danish and vegan chocolate chip.... Must Try!

    One of the most simple, yet amazing Acai bowls I've ever had!
    Ashley H.

    05-Aug-2025 I love a fresh, cold açaí bowl. While consulting in One Paseo I stumbled on Parakeet Cafe' and learned they have açaí bowls. I tried it and was not disappointed. As far as vibe and the inside, I actually visited a few days prior for a meeting and the ambiance and vibe is what made me come back. Also, the fact that a friend had an açaí bowl and I had to try it for myself. If you are in or near One Paseo and want a delicious açaí bowl then stop by Parakeet Cafe'. Thanks, Ashley

    Shakshuka (veg)

    It was my first time having the food here after a recommendation from others! The service was also pretty nice. The food came out quickly and they took our orders quickly. There was a little bit of a line but it went by fast. They had fill your own water, which is definitely a plus for me as I drink a lot of water I enjoyed their chicken pesto sandwich but I thought there was a wee too much bread for the amount of chicken that was on the sandwich. I was a big fan of their potatoes though. The Shakshuka was alright. I wish there was more bread here(we used the extra bread from the sandwich. It was a bit yogurt heavy as well. Parking was also pretty simple as it is in a larger plaza. Overall, this place was alright! If you want some light breakfast/lunch food, I would recommend it!

    This looked amazing
    Jasmine P.

    Delicious but pricey. Prices are in line with other establishments in the area though. We've tried a lot of their selection over time but today I tried the side Wild Caught Tuna with Chips. It was a good snack and not too overly filling. The tuna had a tasty sauce on it and there were chunks of fresh avocado and jalapeño slices mixed in. Delicious! Service was friendly especially as I had questions on the menu. Parking is a bit difficult during lunch.

What really makes this location stand out, though, is the staff. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely personable.

Natalie especially deserves recognition. She's consistently outstanding, friendly, attentive, personable, and always makes you feel welcome rather than like you're simply the next order in line. Great coffee gets you through the door, but employees like Natalie are what keep you coming back.

Caught him rolling his eyes at a customer. When he came to our table with our bagels, he just sat the plates down without acknowledging us or even saying a word. Must be a Gen Z thing idk.

Unfortunately, San Diego still doesn't have a Philz, so La Jolla and Del Mar are the closest options. Between the two, I prefer this location because it's a little more spacious. Inside, they have a large communal table, a handful of smaller tables, and a few comfortable lounge chairs. There are also plenty of outdoor tables if you prefer to sit outside. It definitely gets busy, especially in the mornings, so finding an indoor seat isn't always easy. Even so, it's one of my favorite places to work remotely when I can grab a spot. As for the coffee, it's still my favorite. My go-to order is a half Philtered Soul and half Jacob's Wonder with cream on the side. I love that every cup is brewed fresh to order. There really isn't another coffee shop quite like Philz. The freshly ground beans and pour-over style brewing make such a difference, and it's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. If you're looking for a place to work, catch up with a friend, or simply enjoy a great cup of freshly brewed coffee, this location continues to be one of my favorites.
