What a great place to start my day! I ordered a breakfast burrito, it was very yummy! The service was great! Everyone was very friendly and we had a great chat with Cheryl about how we enjoyed our meal! She also recommended the brown butter cookies. what a treat they were! All in all I would definitely recommend this quaint little restaurant. ( tried the snickerdoodle cookie my top 3) read more

First time customer. Food was amazing, staff was helpful and friendly (that means you Cheryl!) parking sucked a little but the service was fast and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant was clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I was told everything was made from scratch and I believe it! Had their breakfast burrito and a slice of zucchini bread and took one of their bomb brown butter cookies to go. Prices were a little higher but you get what you pay for! I will definitely go back and was happy to see there are couple locations closer to my house! read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service was good and food came out timely. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the way the place was decorated and they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (shaded too!).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Arrived about 9:30 on Friday morning. Short line to order, but while we were eating the line lengthened. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It appeared to be graduation day for some schools. Several families with school age kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband ordered the breakfast croissant & I ordered eggs w/ mushrooms on GF sourdough toast. My husband said his sandwich was good. My eggs were fine, but the bread wasn't toasted. I was expecting toast. Our drink order: a latte with oat milk & a decaf vanilla latte were good. Nothing special. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio seating is nice with umbrellas for shade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I don't think Parakeet was anything special. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

I had been here about two years ago, having lunch with a friend... I ordered a beautiful salad yet it was so bland that I didn't want to come back. This time I ordered something different. I had a meeting here on a Thursday morning. Customers came in waves. I ordered a Turmeric Latte (1/2 sweetness) and the savory All I Avo Wanted Waffle. The latte was perfect in sweetness for me. The savory take on the waffle was surprisingly tasty that I look forward to having it again. (The side sauce was a bit too spicy.) The creamy avocado and fluffy egg had the perfect texture. There was a little bit of spice to it but it was tolerable. Overall, I was impressed with the food this time around that I would return. read more

Love Parakeet and I do come frequently. The salmon avocado toast is very good. The eggs were salty and I've noticed that with prior egg dishes.

Activated charcoal? Why, yes, I'd love to buy into the hype! No idea if it actually does anything amazing for my health, but frankly it tastes delicious the way Parakeet prepares it so whatevs! :D My idea of good eats that are also (supposedly) good *for* you: a Flat Black Latte (activated charcoal, homemade lavender honey, milk), a Grains & Greens Bowl (Gf, V) (red quinoa & brown rice, spiced roasted yam, kale & cucumber salad, grilled asparagus, crunchy garbanzo, mustard seeds, sesame seeds, togarashi & morita nut cream) with added Grilled Salmon (Gf), and a Charcoal Waffle (Gf, V) (activated charcoal Belgian waffle, date coconut cream, strawberries, banana, house-made granola, house-made nutella *contains sesame seeds). Split with a friend so you get both savory and sweet in your brunch! Counter service is convenient, but a bit lackluster. I appreciate that there's plenty of indoor as well as outdoor seating at this particular location, but the music could be turned down a notch throughout as the noise level impedes conversation. read more

Love the cute vibe and food at Parakeet Cafe! The cappuccino is one of my favorite cappuccinos in all of San Diego. There are so many vegetarian and gluten free dishes on the menu.

Parakeet is definitely a favorite San Diego coffee chain of mine. Very aesthetic, the coffee is always good, and I love their various toast menu items (especially the heirloom toast).

Okay, so this place has the BEST drinks and wellness latees. My favorite is the Blue Magic latte, but seriously try any and all of them! The Honey Cinnamon & Tumeric Latte are other favorites. The staff is super friendly and kind. Store & patio seem very clean and well attended to, looks as though all health protocols are followed, which is a big deal for me! I usually stick with the Mushroom Toast which is my favorite, that feta spread is insane! (Even if you're not a fan of truffle like I was, you might change your mind after trying this!) The acai bowl is really yummy too. Highly reccomend for breakfast or lunch. read more

Jaymie was very helpful and greeted us with lots of energy. She had lots of knowledge about the items that were offered.

Was craving an iced lavender matcha latte and found this place. It absolutely hit the spot! Perfectly sweet, super refreshing, and exactly what I wanted. Love that it's dog-friendly (huge plus!) and has such a cute, trendy vibe. The menu has so many tempting options, I'm already planning to come back to try their food. Staff at the counter were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Oh also it came in a super cute cup. read more

I've lived across the street from this place for over a year and I've tried quite a few dishes here. The croissant breakfast sandwich is actually really satisfying. I'm pretty picky about how my eggs are cooked and they weren't hammered. Once I was craving the açai bowl here and it really hit the spot too. I'm not normally a sweets person for breakfast. Service is fast, which is great. Sometimes it can get pretty hectic to find a table for your group. This morning, I had to fend off someone else just to have an indoor seat for myself. Very cute decor in here as with all the other cafés. read more

First time trying this place out. We ordered online and had the food delivered. We ordered 2 chilaquiles plates and 2 lattes. The chilaquiles were good! Our lattes however...I'm so sad they weren't good!! I got an iced salted maple latte and it tasted like I was drinking a iced coffee from Dunkin' or McDonald's (no shade lol) but what I mean by that, it tasted like a watered down vanilla iced coffee and that's definitely not what I wanted out of a $9+ latte I barely took a few sips, it's still full in the fridge and I probably won't drink it. So I definitely wouldn't recommend their drinks based on my experience unfortunately. read more

Such great service and delicious coffee. Dog friendly. A great neighborhood gem. Went craving soup and grilled cheese. Unfortunately they took the soup off the menu. Please, bring back the soup. Best butternut squash soup I've ever had. Who cares that it's summer. read more

The chicken caesar wrap changed my life. I'm normally not one to order wraps, but I have not stopped thinking about this one since I had it yesterday. The chicken is so well-seasoned, but really everything about the wrap was just perfect. Everything else was just okay for me, but I appreciate that Parakeet Cafe is seed-oil- and refined-sugar-free so I didn't feel gross after having a meal here. They have the option for unsweetened coconut milk for their beverages, which is something not many places offer. There's also plenty of seating with the outdoor tables shaded by umbrellas, so it'd be a great place to work/study. read more

I still love this please because of the organic, no seed oil, carefully curated menu;however, it seems that they changed some items including their amazing hot chocolate which used to resemble real chocolate.
