    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

    Great service. Denise and Azalea took care of us! Fresh and colorful ingredients, Chinese salad pickles were yum :)

    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!

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

    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!)

    Dry bran muffin!!
    LInda C.

    This was the worst bran muffin I have ever had. So dense and dry, could not cut with knife and fork. Cup of coffee Luke warm. Bad overall!

    Squash Soup (gf, v)
    Chloe K.

    Came here with my friends to get a healthier bite. The menu has lots of different options. My friend got the charcoal waffle and liked it, but said it basically tasted like a normal waffle but less sweet. The soup was flavorful and filling! I got a matcha which was ok. Food came quickly. Nice spot on orange.

    Apple juice
    Kris P.

    The ambience of this place is super fun & cute. There are seats inside and outside. Juicery is on one side & coffee shop/cafe on the other. You order at the front & have a seat, then someone will bring you your items. The drip coffee was great. They have lattes as well but we didn't try any. My daughter ordered the lemonade and the other one ordered an apple juice. They were good & the girls said they tasted "fresh". Food- we ordered the egg & cheese sandwich, the harvest toast with egg, & breakfast burrito. Everything was AMAZING! Plus, it was a quick and easy breakfast. It wasn't too heavy and was perfect to start our busy day.

    Parakeet Bowl (gf, v)
    Lorraine M.

    Loved dropping by here for a Sunday breakfast. The service was relatively quick and helpful even when the waffle machine stopped working and we had to re order a new meal. Mariana was great, friendly and patient with us as we enjoyed our meal. I loved my parakeet bowl and iced green tea. The perfect meal!

    Sad gluten-free grilled cheese. Nine dollars for something that's not even melted, extremely dry, and taste like cardboard.

Our server was Chris and he was OUTSTANDING...very attentive and very friendly. Both managers visited our table several time to make sure we were good. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that what I had was just a bit underwhelming. We ordered the braised beef potstickers, california roll, and grilled and chilled shrimp for appetizers. The meat in the potstickers was very mushy. The california roll was decent. The grilled and chilled shrimp were fine. My husband had the filet - ordered medium well, served medium...the twice baked potato was very small and seemed to be overcooked. I had the lemon chicken entree - the taste was good, but was just a bit dry...it was served with fries, which was fine. The other couple ordered the skirt steak and the braised short ribs which they seemed to enjoy. My drink was amazing - the Amalfi Spritz. For dessert, we tried the butter cake...again, a bit underwhelming and not really good on flavor...I did taste the toffee and caramel, but the cake itself had no taste.

We shared an epic French toast with magical cinnamon syrup - really recommend the French toast!! Loved it enough to add it to the rotation when visiting San Diego.

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.

Heba was so incredibly kind and professional, and so attentive! She noticed the smallest details like me not finishing my side of sauce (asking if it had tasted good enough), suggesting to my boyfriend when he didn't eat any of his muscles in his seafood dish that she could leave those out next time for him if he doesn't like them, etc. She really is a gem! There was also a black-haired male bus boy who kept coming over and checking on us, and he was so fast when we asked for extra balsamic or Parmesan, and even followed up asking if we were OK. he was so kind and always approached our table with a smile.

We went around 7 pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Service was slightly slow but not horrible. We ordered 2 different pizzas, one with an Italian ham and gorgonzola cheese and carmelized onions. The carmelized onions were good, and the crust is amazing. However, the ham was a little salty and the gorgonzola cheese a little bit overpowering. My friend ordered a vege pizza with some olive oil and fresh garlic on the side and enjoyed it. The atmosphere was very cute with garage doors and old style garage signs. There is also a little Italian market with wine at the entrance. I highly recommend the pizza. I give 5 stars for the quality of the pizza, 4 stars for the service. Eric at the bar was very helpful, though, for ordering 2 pizzas to go for our friends who didn't make it to dine with us, as the takeout area was closed.
