    Warm inside

    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

    Vegan Lemon Blueberry scone & Herbal hibiscus tea
    L L.

    Vegan options, healthy smoothies and bowls. In the pastry case several vegan options are clearly listed on signs, some gluten-free others nut free, which is good because the other side of the restaurant where the smoothie bar is, there's a lot of walnuts which are allergenic. Tried a vegan lemon blueberry scone, more moist than it looks, good but a bit heavy, grainy, not sweet, light on lemon flavor. The vegan blueberry muffin described by nearby diners as good moist a little sweeter than the scone. A cup of Hibiscus to complete my quest for a tropical paradise morning after dropping off a few people at the airport on the way to Hawaii. It's San Diego's version: healthy, colorful, bright, and lively. Definitely has a good energy vibe. Busy on a Thursday morning but plenty of seating to choose from inside outside and upstairs. No wait to order, short wait for my hot cup. Service was friendly. Difficulties: only 1 occupied bathroom, wait for pre-consumption handwashing and available parking! On a hot Summer day, enjoy the walk you'll likely have getting to this and nearby places.

    Breakfast Burrito (veg) Eggs Benedict On Toast (veg) Sushi Wrap
    Mingfei C.

    Food was incredible, and served quickly. We ordered a breakfast burrito, sushi wrap, and an eggs benedict with a side of smoked salmon. The place itself is stunning, but seating can be hard to find, which is fair because it was a weekend brunch. Street parking is available.

    Parakeet Bowl (gf, v)
    Catalina G.

    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.

    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.

    Avocado Toast
    Alejandra L.

    SUPER Very delicious ! Highly recommend 5 BIG BOOMS !!!! Many different dishes to choose from.

    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.

    Ahí tuna Poke Bowl (gf)
    Mary H.

    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!

    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.

    Cute wall

    The is place is super cute! Just your average coffee shop but it also serves brunch and lunch items such as sandwiches. I got the seasonal (summer) strawberry lemonade and one of the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. Food and drinks came fast and staff was nice, great place to grab a quick bite.

    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

The honey on the fries settled at the bottom and it was a little too sweet but overall it was a great starter. I got the poke tacos and absolutely delicious. I loved the taco shell that was so crunchy and the ahi tuna was so well seasoned. My husband got the pineapple fried rice and it's such a big portion. There was so many meat pieces that it's well worth your money!

But nonetheless the dark interior and laid back environment was pleasant. Even with the laid back environment, the service was attentive and helpful. You can check out my 2 menu pics for the thematic food and drinks that are available. We started with the Volcano Fries. This dish starts with your basic fries, and goes up from there. As you can see from my pic, there are plenty of seasonings on the fries. But it's ALL about their sauces: Sriracha Aioli and Hot Honey. (BTW, the heat wasn't overly hot and didn't distract from the flavors.). Between the garlic, the sweet/heat action, the creaminess of the Aioli, these fries were very hard to stop munching on. While not a super-phenomenal appetizer, it was incredibly irresistible. We then finished with the Pineapple Fried Rice with Spam & Portuguese Sausage, see my pic. We liked the combination of the fried rice with the rich meats (yes, I classified Spam as a meat. This reminded me of some of the Hawaiian Spam dishes.) The seasoning was rather weak. But it still was a hearty and robust meal.
