    The two ladies that helped me and my family pick out desserts were patient and gave great recommendations. We got the mango, strawberry and the bread pudding. At almost 15$ a piece. I struggle to see the value. However everything was delicious.

    Crookie and crème brûlée latte
    Pauline S.

    Went to the shops for a lazy morning. Parfait Paris gave the perfect experience with a nice crème brûlée latte and chocolate chip crookie. Just the perfect amount of flakey with the croissant and ooey goodness in the center. Can't wait to come back!

    Pecan cinnamon Roll
    Alexandra L.

    Amazing experience here. Especially appreciated Albert, Adrieon, and Erik's service. They were very helpful and patient with my indecisiveness despite coming close to closing time! We ordered a Pecan Cinnamon roll, in which they warmed it up for us. It tasted great! Would definitely come again.

    Parfait is French and means 'Perfect' and may also be a dessert; perfect dessert. There are over 9 locations throughout Southern California, including this newly opened cafe in La Jolla. Occupying the former space held by Beard Papa located on Girard. Limited street parking and some private lots for a fee. The cafe has outdoor and indoor seating. Of the number of times I've visited, it was clean and I was cordially greeted. The staff have always been helpful and super nice. The display case showcases to die for desserts, macarons and gelato. Also offered are coffee, teas drinks, sandwiches and salads. Have only had pastry desserts and coffee drinks here and I must say, the ingredients includes french butter from Normandy and Swiss chocolate is evident in the taste. The owners are of French origin and incorporate their love for France in all their creations and one can tell...fait maison avec amour, which translates as made in house with love. I Like that fact they use stoneware and silverware and bring your order to your table with a genuine smile. My pup Fendi is very picky about everything but she loves the macarons here. I recently tried the Dubai Pain Swiss pastry and latte, both delish. As a loyal Frenchie I prefer the fantastique Almond croissant, always perfect...Parfait Paris! A welcome addition to the La Jolla community. Recommend

    Here is the rude worker in the back.

    My wife and I stopped by to pick up an iced mocha and I asked if I could use the restroom, but it was closed for cleaning. I ordered my mocha and walked out on the patio to give to my wife the mocha. A customer walked in the restroom and closed the door, so I thought it was was ready. My wife walked in and asked if she could use the restroom, and the first thing the worker in the back says is "did you order something" rudely. He could have politely said that it another way, without making my spouse feel that way.

    So cute!!!

    Amazing menu! Everything is so fresh and beautiful, too! Love the indoors but great outside seating too! Super location! We will be back! Astrid went above and beyond to help us!!!! Thank you so much

    Amazing pastries! Not too sweet, but lots of flavors! Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. Special shout out to the Nutella Pasteur. This is a typical cafe, order and take a seat in one of their comfy leather seats. Very clean as well and they have gelato!

    I stopped by Parfait with a close friend when visiting San Diego. The service was on point. I had a ton of questions that were all addressed by their staff in addition to great recommendations. I ended up getting the Nutella Croissant Roll and the French Pudding. The French Pudding was amazing. Their French Pudding is made of croissant dough and filled with cinnamon, pecan and caramel with chocolate on top. It was top 5 pastry I've ever had. I would hope that they would bring this pastry place to the east coast.

    Adorable pastry shop with ice cream, pastries, macaroons, and coffee! They have a Dubai pain Swiss and a Dubai latte! Super flaky and delicious pastries! Fast service by Louison & Charlie! A great place to take a break when traveling along the coast!

    Another one! Bless up! Le Parfait Paris in La Jolla is the ultimate spot for all your pastry dreams. They don't just serve food; they serve excellence. The croissants? Legendary. The macarons? Iconic. Every bite is like winning another one. The ambiance? Chic vibes. The staff? They got the keys to great service. If you want to experience the best, you gotta come here. Trust me, they don't play themselves. They secure the bag every time. We the best, and so is Le Parfait Paris

    pistachio latte and the pistachio Dubai pastry
    Jay C.

    Love the pistachio latte and the pistachio Dubai pastry is so good too! Love the nice and quaint location on La Jolla as I love the other location too. Nice place and friendly customer service by Astrid and Lovison!

    Gelato is rich + flavorful. We ordered the carrot cake + mango bliss cake. Cute date night cafe.

    Macarons
    Charito B.

    Love the place and the variety macarons. I picked California raspberry and Italian espresso.

    Aloha Yelpers,…read more Reviews can be subjective and often just reflect how we felt in the moment--sometimes good, sometimes bad. As a business owner and someone who frequents a lot of establishments around the world, I'm always paying extra attention to how different brands and teams operate. After being a regular at Parakeet for the last 6 years, I felt inclined to finally write a review, based purely on appreciation for the all-star team at this location (Kayla, Janelle, Neda, Hailey, Regina, Michelle, Calvin, and all the cooks crushing it in the kitchen daily) and everything they bring to the community. BIG VIBES & Customer Experience Biggest one on the checklist. The energy is always on point from the second I walk in to the second I leave. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, authentic, and genuinely cares about making the experience top-tier. Also worth noting, they're up at 5 AM to open at 7 AM... which is already heroic. On top of that, this location gets its fair share of entitled, unfriendly, and straight-up rude customers (I've seen it firsthand on the daily). Even then, the ladies and Calvin handle it with patience, professionalism, and still keep the good energy going. That shit is not easy. Attention to Detail Regina and Hailey run a tight operation day to day. Their attention to detail and consistency is honestly unmatched. I've been to plenty of spots around the neighborhood, and no one has it as dialed in as they do. They are also better dressed than other managers in the biz. BIG STYLE POINTS Problem Solving I've watched this team navigate everything--broken equipment, unhappy customers, clogged toilets (lol), bad weather, and difficult delivery drivers yelling at them through Google Translate. And they handle it all without missing a beat and staying composed. Meanwhile, I've seen other places completely implode in similar situations--blaming each other or arguing instead of solving the problem. Not the case here. Always solution-oriented. Extra props to Janelle for unclogging the toilet and Kayla for chasing a grasshopper out the door when it jumped on a table. Yessahhh Consistency Food and drinks are always consistent--fresh, well-seasoned, proper temp, and clean presentation. The cooks are back there working hard but still somehow having a good time while pushing out orders for both dine-in and delivery. The girls and Calvin on bar are always crushing it. Espresso is never burnt, matcha is smooth (no clumpy, low-tier stuff), and the latte art is always on point. Shoutout to Neda, Hailey, Regina, and Calvin for keeping things fast and high quality. Cleanliness Everything is always clean, smells good, and actually put away where it belongs. No shakshuka stains on tables, no scone crumbs everywhere, no sticky coffee floors, no overflowing trash cans--things that, somehow, have become the norm at other nearby spots. All in all, I never leave reviews, so the fact that I'm writing this says something lol. Hopefully whoever reads this--regulars, upper management, or owners--recognizes that this all-star team is what makes this Parakeet location special, and a big reason it continues to bring GREAT VIBES to LJ LET'S GET THEM A PAY RAISE!! Mahalo, Brady

    There's truly something special about Parakeet Cafe, and every visit reminds me why this place has…read morebecome such a meaningful part of our lives. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and intention behind it all, a genuine commitment to clean, high-quality ingredients that's so rare to find. Knowing they use non-seed oils is a huge plus, and it makes Parakeet one of the most refreshing and trustworthy spots in San Diego for a feel-good meal. My wife, my kids, my closest friends, and I have been loyal customers since Jonathan and Carol first opened their original location, and what incredible people they are. Their warmth, vision, and passion shine through in everything Parakeet has become. Since they opened the La Jolla location, it's been our go-to. I bring my family here all the time, along with friends and clients, and every single visit feels just as wonderful as the last. Beyond the food, everything about the experience feels intentional, from the beautiful presentation to the consistently great service and welcoming atmosphere. Whether it's a coffee, a matcha, or one of their thoughtfully prepared dishes, everything tastes fresh, balanced, and made with love. I also want to give a heartfelt shoutout to the incredible team: Janelle, Kayla, Neda (who honestly makes the best flat white I've ever had), Hailey, and especially Regina (and I'm sure I'm missing someone...sorry if I did!). As the manager, Regina sets the tone for the entire space. You can feel her leadership in how smoothly everything runs, she's attentive, genuinely welcoming, and always making sure guests feel taken care of. She truly elevates the entire experience. The whole staff contributes to such a warm, positive energy. Everyone is kind, helpful, and consistently makes you feel welcomed and appreciated as a guest. It's the kind of place that feels like family. Parakeet Cafe is one of those rare spots you leave feeling better than when you walked in. Great food, Great energy, and incredible people. Huge thanks to Jonathan, Carol, Regina, and the entire team for creating something so special, we'll absolutely keep coming back.

Had I'd know it would ruin my morning with my daughter I would have never suggested it. Customer service was atrocious. The pick up was not to anyone's standards. My daughter picked up the food me drinks she ordered for us and the girl at the counter was clearly annoyed she worked there. Ignored her. She should be retrained or put in the back. Nevermind ignoring the customer but didn't even finish giving the order. No drinks. My daughter had to ask a manager for the drinks. Comes to the car as we drive off I open the bag and items are missing. I guess no one checks orders. Had to double park. I called and warned the cafe she was upset. They gave her the one missing item and they ran out of croissants. Mind you it's what I wanted. They gave her an extra Oreo cronut. This was the worst experience. I do not recommend this establishment
