I normally don't write reviews but this was such a good experience I had to! I flew into San Diego yesterday morning for the very first time and decided to try out this juicery! The first thing I noticed was how clean and organized the tables were outside which was very much appreciated! When I walked inside, I was immediately greeted & was asked if I had any questions on the menu. I had some trouble deciding what I wanted and I asked Julian what he enjoyed. He gave me a couple options which included the Strawberry Glow, the Mint Chocolate Chip or the Muscle Mender. I finally decided on the strawberry glow and was very interested to see how I would like it & decided to pair with a bee sharp açaí bowl. Julian was super friendly and asked if it was my first time at the juicery. I proceeded to tell him that it was my first time in San Diego, so I was very excited to try a new place. Julian's service was very quick and efficient!! Once my items were done, he handed them off to me and I went outside to finally try my delicious breakfast :) When I tell you....HANDS DOWN the BEST breakfast I've had in a long time! Both items were extremely refreshing and delicious!! I was honestly very surprised at how well I enjoyed the avocado and dates paired in the strawberry glow smoothie. As well as how AMAZING the hazelnut spread is in the bee sharp bowl! I will DEFINITELY be back here & you should to!! Thank you so much Julian for your recommendations, quick & friendly service! read more

Amazing service--will definitely be back! read more

Parakeet Juicery - La Jolla - G4 - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - La Jolla, California

Very cute juice spot! Plenty of options and love that there's a customization option to add other fruits/veggies into the drink The drink itself was great, and we added in pineapple and kale to it, but we did find it very overpriced ($11 before the customization) for a juice. While the ingredients were fresh, we wished the drink was colder instead of room temp and more reasonably priced. read more

I came in here not too long ago, ordered 2 smoothies & 2 juice SHOTS. Paid $50 for 4 items. . Mind you my smoothie didn't even taste fully blended it was chunky & powdery. The service was awful none of the employees smiled. Even when I said "Thank you." I believe the response was "yeah". Anyways, small place. A couple chairs. High prices. Skip it. read more

I had such a fun time trying Parakeet while visiting La Jolla! I found them on seed oil scout for not using seed oils, and tried a G4 and the chili cucumber chips! It was the perfect snack on the way to the beach! I definitely recommend parakeet Juicery if you're looking for a light crisp juice or bite. read more

When I first walked in, there were three people working; Not one person said, "Hello," or, "welcome." Then I walked up waiting for someone to take my order, I was waiting for at least 30 seconds until I realized that you had to do your own order on the screen. Once I realized that, I started ordering. My daughter, who is three, was talking and laughing and she let out an excited little scream because she loves açaí bowls. I noticed one of the girls look up from what she was doing and glared at my daughter, and then she made eye contact and gave a look to the other girl working. I was the only one in the store and they were both clearly bothered by a three year old. I stopped my order, and said, "I am not spending my money here." And left. This is the worst experience I have ever had at this chain. The other location on the street and the Del Mar location are fantastic and have welcomed me and my family. This was so disappointing. read more

We ordered on the app and they never texted us when it was ready and the app didn't tell us either. I'm not sure I see the point in downloading an extra app. The juice was good. The price was not bad, but my point of comparison is NYC. I see other people mention the price isn't good, but this area is very touristy. Also, I got a basic juice. The superfood add ons were a bit ridiculously priced. I would have liked trying them. But I do like that the baseline juice was only $11. read more

I had the most delicious smoothie in my life while visiting La Jolla - the choco crunch. Just get it! read more

Parakeet Juicery - La Jolla - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - La Jolla, California

I didn't realize you had to order off the touch screen at the counter - so eventually one of the workers helped me place my order. There were no prices on the menu and he didn't state my total prior to paying, so upon reviewing my receipt, I was absolutely shocked to see that I paid $16 for a small smoothie. It wasn't even customized! Just chosen right off the menu. Absolute HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Prices are outrageous, I wish I could have returned my smoothie, it definitely wasn't worth $16. Love their Parakeet Cafe next door though! read more

I stopped here last week after a Pilates class and enjoyed their juice so much! It was such a lovely, healthy and tasty experience that I will now continue to treat myself to after my classes in the area! read more

Came back to try again (like an idiot). The owner seemed so convincing in their reply to my previous review ... ... ... Customer service is no better. If not worse. Wasn't even acknowledged (I'm talking didn't bother to look up at me) for more than 2 minutes. Done with this place. read more

Love this place. They have a great selection of delicious smoothies using high quality ingredients. A little weird at first ordering from a screen the first time, but now it's a breeze and the wait time isn't long at all. read more

Stopped by this place while I was walking around la Jolla because I wanted a little pick me up and I had the best smoothie I've ever had. I don't know who thought to put bananas, blueberries, and peanut butter together but it was soo good! They were honestly pretty busy but nothing crazy. Workers were super nice too! The only thing was the smoothie was a little expensive but it was very good. read more

Healthy juice and smoothies. Quick service and wonderful products. I love the fresh juices and shots. The smoothies are pretty tasty too.

Expensive but tasty. They're relatively fast for such complex product. Everything seems to be processed fresh. If you're in the market for top dollar smoothies made with fresh ingredients here's the spot. read more

Workers weren't very friend. Got the dragon bowl. Bowl was kinda pricey like $16-17. They serve it on a more shallow bowl to make it appear larger but it's the same size as a typical bowl, but maybe they just give a bit more banana than the typical place. The granola was the crunchiest granola I've ever had. Me and my friend both thought our jaw was hurting from how hard we were chewing. The granola was stuck everywhere that I didn't end up even finishing the bowl even though I wanted the base. Overall flavor was good but I've had better bowls and better pricing. read more

Parakeet Juicery is the rebranding of the local chain of Juice Crafters. The owners of Parakeet Cafe have opened up this Silverado Street location just a few doors away. Parking is reasonably easy to find as long as you don't mind walking a few blocks around this grid of streets in the village of La Jolla. The menu contained juices, smoothies, and bowls. The first two were available in 16 oz and 20 oz sizes. From the sixteen preset combinations, I chose a large Dragon Fruit Blast smoothie. The ingredients were pitaya, coconut water, pineapple, and banana. Everything seemed fresh, and the service was pretty rapid. From a price and quality standpoint, I gave 3.5 stars as the product was pretty comparable with other juice and smoothie shops I have tried. read more

Went to this juicery, and saw black debrief in my drink. Didn't drink my juice out of suspension and brought it home to inspect. I put the juice through a strainer to separate the black pieces and what I found was unbelievable. In the strainer are little black pieces of PLASTIC that have been shredded in the juicer. I'm pretty sure their juicer is cracked and chipping away in peoples juices. PLEASE DO NOT BUY JUICES WITH PLASTIC IN THEM. These micro plastics are HIGHLY TOXIC to your body and major hormone disrupters. A juice from Parakeet Juicery is going to do more harm than good to your body. So disappointing. Never coming back. read more

Stopped by for a quick smoothie! Typical juice bar with juice, smoothie, and açaí bowl options. They made my smoothie quick which I appreciate. Sometimes I feel like you order a juice or smoothie and wait 20 minutes! This was out in 5. My smoothie was pretty good. I got the Coco crunch. When I left, I walked by the Parakeet cafe which was packed. I looked it up on Yelp and will be going there the next time I am in the area. read more

Delicious açaí and pitaya bowls, really fresh strawberries and bananas and tasty smoothie bases. I liked the customer service and there was a lot of street parking. Fair prices and looked like a clean environment. I'll be back here to try some smoothies. I liked my immunity shot. Great touch adding a strawberry to it as a chaser. read more

Overpriced as all hell and wait for a smoothie can be about 15 minutes when they're busy

Parakeet Juicery has, in my opinion, the perfect açaí bowl. It's called the Brazilian bowl. It is hands down amazing. Quality açaí that is perfect, not too watery not too frozen. I won't tell their secret but they blend it with something that makes it out of this world. I will sometimes add pineapple and almond butter as well. As far as smoothies I love the Fit 4 Life. If you want to get risky order the off menu "Big Bird". Trust me. read more

Wasn't really impressed! The store is really nicely decorated, but it's very loud and crowded because of the lack of waiting area. I ordered the Dragon Fruit Blast, which was incredibly underwhelming and lacked flavor. I think if you're looking for an aesthetic looking smoothie for a picture it's a good choice, but for 9$ I would not recommend ordering. The wheatgrass shot however is very well done and is a generous serving! Would recommend stopping by for this! Overall wouldn't go out of my way to get smoothies again, but would stop by for a shot! read more

Employees weren't friendly and seemed annoyed that people were there. I got a smoothie, requested it without vanilla protein power. Unfortunately they still put vanilla protein powder in, however the smoothie still tasted fine so I kept it as I didn't want to make them remake it. Upon drinking it further I found many small plastic pieces. I found over 7 small pieces in my drink before just throwing the drink away. I would've asked them to remake it but at that point I had already left. I am very disappointed mainly because of how much these smoothies cost. One smoothie and one health shot was 25 dollars. Down below are just a few of the plastic pieces found before I had to throw more than half of the smoothie away. read more

They don't have their prices listed for a reason. I ordered a smoothie and was shocked to realize it was $14. Yikes. Purchased anyways and it basically tasted like water. Huge bummer. read more

This place is delicious however you have to know what you're getting into. I was a little hungry when I came and decided to also get the chia pudding stuff and my friend got the chocolate mouse stuff. Both were very disappointing to us because we expected more flavor but also that is our fault partially because for being a super healthy item I am sure it is good. They are fast and very nice however I really wish they would recycle the mason jars. read more
