    Mint latte , matcha, cinnamon latte
    Akilah J.

    The service was good, loved the ambiance but the coffee was just okay. If you're a lite coffee drinker then this place is for you. My daughter said the matcha was okay.

    We had some cookies and croissants here. They were very good and they have an in-house bakery, which is pretty yummy. They are an orange Avenue in Coronado

    Even though this place is pricy, I think it's worth it. The parakeet bowl was to die for. So many yummy ingredients. The place is spotless, literally so clean. The service turnover was pretty fast, I'd say I got my bowl after 10 minutes of waiting. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and if you come here might as well try the conjoint juice spot next door. Their mission is healthy, clean ingredients, they definitely accomplished their goal. Staff could've been friendlier but that's okay. Parking might be tough, I walked so I didn't have a hassle.

    I got a brekkie(?)(australian?) sandwich, and it was heavenly. Both the croissant and eggs were some of the fluffiest I've had. The texture of these eggs were like.....like......Japanese level. The croissant was also sinfully light and flaky. It was like eating a cloud. The overall flavor was impressive. It had no actual breakfast meat, but was more savory than most breakfast sandwiches I've had that did have meat. The sauce and even the spinach somehow enhanced the effect. A lot of healthy veggie smoothies, but with just a hint of sweetness.

    This cafe was super quaint and cute. A few tables located both inside and outside cafe. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We ordered an iced mocha latte and an iced salted camel latte. Both were very good and not overly sweet. We loved the cups they came in also!

    Parakeet is good for health conscious eaters who don't mind paying a premium to avoid seed oils, and other inflammatory "junk" ingredients in their amazing selection of lattes and brunch items. So I really value that aspect, however, this location while cute is a warehouse style building and was extremely loud and echo-y! I will say the poke bowl fell flat in the flavor department. I would stick to their brunch items as this was my first time having lunch and it was just ok. The turmeric latte was delish. Service: Order at the counter then they bring it to the table. I will not be going again unless it's for grab and go coffee smoothie/juice.

    The theming, vibe, and overall aesthetic of the location are so cute--but the food was unbelievable. Highly recommend the poke bowl, chicken teriyaki bowl, and the Brazilian smoothie!

    Roasted Potatoes
    Wendy S.

    Absolutely loved this place! Christmas morning, we decided to stroll around Coronado, and came up upon this little café. The food was absolutely amazing, loved the crunch of the croissant sandwich, and the roasted potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The food was visually appetizing as well as the interior had such a cute vibe. The staff was super friendly and even though it was crowded they were really working to make sure everybody wasn't standing in line or waiting off in areas for too long.. a must try!! The only reason I gave it a four versus a five was to add on some of the sides just seemed way overpriced for me. Wouldn't stop me from coming back.

    Salted Maple Latte
    Sylvester R.

    I love the service and food. The Brekki is my favorite along with their salted maple latte. I've only been treated with great respect and kindness when I come here or to any of their locations though the Coronado location is my favorite. Great music and clean bathrooms ...always!

    Nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter and then the food is brought to you. The food is super healthy and some good options for vegan and vegetarian. Nice ambiance and customer sevice

    I go to parakeet all the time in Newport so decided to try it out in Coronado. I'm glad to report that the quality is consistent. Parakeet was quite busy and loud at 10:30 AM on a Sunday. We decided to get a spot in the outdoor back patio to get away from the hustle and bustle. My iced vanilla matcha was perfection and came out quickly. We werent waiting long for our food either. All the staff were friendly and accommodating- you can tell they work hard! I shared the breakfast burrito and avocado toast. The toast had a nice and thick piece of sourdough which was tasty topped with refreshing vegetables. The burrito was the perfect size and great when you order pickled onions on the side (gives it a nice sour and crunch!)

    Food here is fresh baked. Cookies and croissants. Service is go to counter and order. Ambience is outdoors and indoor vibe

This past Sunday, I decided to head over for a morning walk and finally stopped in again. The shop is pretty small with limited seating, so it's not really a place to hang out. It seems more like a grab-and-go coffee spot. There aren't many great coffee shop options in this part of Coronado, so I can definitely see why it's popular with both locals and tourists. I arrived just before the morning rush, so I was able to order and get my drink almost immediately. The cashier was super friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. I also really appreciated that they offer a military discount--it's always nice to see businesses supporting the military community. I ordered a medium cold brew with coconut cold foam and asked for very light ice. I was so happy they actually listened! So many coffee shops still fill the cup with ice even when you ask for light ice, and I hate watered-down coffee. This one was perfect. The coconut cold foam was absolutely delicious and added just the right amount of sweetness to complement the bold flavor of the cold brew without overpowering it. I also love that they serve organic coffee. I'll definitely have to remember to stop by more often whenever I'm in Coronado in the mornings. Next time, I need to try one of their donuts too!

Like several other places on this street, this place gets slammed constantly, especially on weekends. Even so, the customer service is super fast and friendly. They really try to stay on top of my coffee cup. The coffee itself is a really smooth and balanced flavor. The traditional diner appearance is also great. The only reason I would give 4 stars would be the chicken in the chicken and waffles.....which is not even bad. I have high standards for this in particular. Thinking about it again, there's a lot of bad chicken in this country, but I've rarely had bad chicken in chicken and waffles. Maybe it's because a breakfast place wouldn't attempt it in the first place if they couldn't make it well. I found this portion to be a bit light on the actual meat. The breading is excellent, but I can see that the meat starts to become drier in the sections where the meat is thicker. And, of course, still a bit lean. I believe chicken for chicken and waffles should be dark meat, like any self respecting Asian should. Lmao. Grits were good too.

For a cinnamon roll to have a splash of cinnamon in it is bizarre. It felt like Clayton's was cutting corners hoping people didn't notice, while still charging a lot for their shrinkflation. Service was ok, it took forever for the server to just come up to greet us, to the point the hostess went and got waters for us. Again not the normal for this establishment, but still very blah and disappointing. For how expensive things are I would not eat here again. Normally we would visit numerous times in during or time here.

My husband loved his coffee and said the espresso was smooth, flavorful, and let the coffee shine without being overcomplicated. The shop itself is really cool too. There's an art installation inside, an outdoor patio with additional seating, and I noticed quite a few people picking up bags of espresso beans while we were there.

Since we had never tried a European-style café before, we thought we'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Everything from the food to the ambiance and overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The paninis were unbelievably bland -- they really need some kind of sauce or spread because they had almost no flavor at all. On top of that, the prices were surprisingly high for what we received. The desserts were around $11 each, and they didn't even taste fresh. The bread pudding was so hard we could barely get our fork through it. The only redeeming thing about this place is the location. Otherwise, the tables and floors looked unclean, which made the whole experience even more off-putting. This restaurant really needs to revisit its menu and overall upkeep because, as it stands, it's not a place we'd return to.
