    Bright colorful decor!
    Jason G.

    Parakeet is one of my favorite local coffee spots! They have top tier coffee and their food menu is clean, filling and comforting, all at the same time. Breakfast Burrito and Truffle Scramble Toast are a couple of my favorites! The staff is always working so hard, and always remembers my name and order, always a welcoming vibe! Very vegetarian and gluten free friendly too!

    Such a cute Brentwood spot! Parakeet Cafe nails the healthy-but-delicious balance. Yummy açaí bowls, great coffee, and a really calming atmosphere. Staff is always so helpful and kind too! Perfect for a casual meal or coffee catch-up.

    Squash Soup (gf, v), Artisan Chai Latte, Mayan Mocha
    Ilse S.

    Adorable location with quick service. A really cute spot to have a drink, alone or with a friend. The coffee was absolutely the highlight, flavorful and exactly what we needed! We ordered a squash soup as well, it just wasn't necessarily my favorite. The flavor profile was a little strange, as well as consistency. I would definitely go back for the coffee and ambiance alone (just not the biggest fan of the food).

    Not as good as it used to be, unfortunately. The blue corn waffle and egg is one of my favorites, but the waffle wasn't as crispy this time. The surfer burrito was gone, replaced with a basic veggie burrito that was just meh. Very sad to see them take this off the menu. The chilaquiles were ok, definitely not healthy, and the order could use an extra egg. Latte prices are up to 10 dollars with alternative milks, which is exorbitant. This used to be a place I was excited to share with others, but now, I'm reluctant to go back.

    Food: the best. Service: personalized. Ambiance: fun! Try it and thank me later!!

    I personally don't normally love kale so perhaps this was my own fault, but I was very underwhelmed and the kale was quite overpowering. If you're looking for ggiata this isn't it. The avocado toast and the soup were great though according to my friends! We visited right after our barre class and it's such a cute spot! I look forward to coming back and trying something else on the menu!

    All I AVO Wanted (gf, veg) with Salsa Macha
    Kerry N.

    This place is so good, I always get the All I Avo Wanted which is a corn waffle with avocado, feta, egg, and salsa macha on the side and it all goes together SO well. I was so full at the end and it feels healthy and good quality. My boyfriend got the chicken Caesar wrap and really liked it, he even added some of my leftover salsa macha and said it worked so well. There's always seats available and the staff are kind. Love how close it is to Brentwood Country Mart too for a nice stroll afterwards.

    Pumpkin Spice Chai w/ Cold Foam
    Nichole L.

    Cute location! First found this spot in SD so I was excited to learn they have an LA location. Decor and vibes were similar to the OG SD location with the staple decor and drinks. I ordered the season pumpkin spice latte with cold foam which was as expected, just a little too sweet for me but still overall, a good drink if that's what you like! Loved the indoor and outdoor seating with WiFi. My friend and I ordered drinks (listed and a matcha drink not pictured) and stuck around to do work. Be aware parking may be tough on street and there's parking lots in the back but I believe they are only vallet. I didn't drive around to explore that area much but I did walk around before returning to my car.

    The Protein Waffle (gf) and Eggs & Salmon

    We got the Protein Waffle (gf) and the Eggs & Salmon. They were both soo tasty and satiating! We had great service and all our needs were met. Love this location and the welcoming staff. Definitely come back multiple times if you can, there are so many delicious items on the menu that you'll want to try them all!

    Friendly staff, amazing food, and yummy drinks ! Healthy and real ingredients used! Can't go wrong here :)

Not only do they didn't toss the salad it came like an appetizer portion. I said to them, once again that my dad and I had been coming here for about 15+ years and they flat out refused. I had been getting the Newporter salad ( which in the past was divine) & they in fact delivered what looked like a new limp version of this previously deliciousness. Then they offered me yo bring a side of kale, which they brought, and plunked down on the table, undressed, next to the untossed dressing. Is this place determined to alienate their loyal customers? Clearly. Again a horror show in customer service. Why did I even bother to come back here. There's so many amazing restaurants in Santa Monica. R& D has gone down the drain. Down below you see a $24 salad. It looks like an appetizer. Dressing on the side. With the wilty dry kale besides it. This place is down right rude, horrible. My 92 year old dad was clearly unhappy. I said why don't you bring him some cookies, the young male manager said "Why would I do that"? I strongly suggest trying the divine Wally's in Santa Monica. Or Gjelina in Venice. Don't waste a dime at R&D Kitchen and probably not at the other Hillstone restaurants either. Their staff needs to take a strong lesson in hospitality. Maybe with Danny Meyer who owns Sweet Greens & Shake Shack. He's the king of hospitality.

This location was the perfect halfway point for all of us. We arrived bright and early around 9:30 AM on a Wednesday. I had called ahead to reserve a booth, my absolute favorite kind of seating. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly hostess and immediately seated. Our server (I unfortunately forgot his name!) was fantastic. He brought out fresh coffee right away, took our breakfast orders, and was extremely kind, polite, and attentive throughout our entire meal. The menu has plenty of options, ranging from scratch-made omelettes and burritos to salads and a dedicated kids' menu. The Breakfast Plate Specials ($12-$14) Both my cousin and aunts ordered this. It came loaded with pancakes, hashbrowns, sausage, and toast--an absolute steal for the price~ Turkey Club Sandwich & Fries: I was in the mood for lunch, so I opted for the club. The fries were hot and perfectly crispy. The sandwich itself was wonderful, packed with turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. My only tiny critique is that I wish it came with mayo (I'm a huge mayo fan!). However, I ordered a side of ranch which paired perfectly and really elevated the sandwich. The vibe here is incredibly laid-back, welcoming, and brightly lit. Everything--including the restrooms--was sparkling clean. They had TVs playing a local soccer game and a nice bar area where it looks like they serve up a great selection of beer and wine for happy hour. I didn't grab an alcoholic drink this time, but I already have my eye on a cranberry mimosa for my next visit! Before you leave, make sure to check out the front counter--they have a massive display of freshly baked cookies, pies, and other goodies~ For the price, the food is absolutely worth it and the service is top-notch. Thank you so much, Dinah's Comfort Kitchen--we will definitely be back when we're in the area again!

It's located in the old Clock Tower building, and the Art Deco decor is absolutely stunning--dark enough to hide a bad day but vibrant enough for a girls' night. The Vibe: It's loud, lively, and perfectly "bohemian chic". If you're coming on a weekend, prepare for a crowd, but it's the good kind of crowded where everyone looks like they just came from a gallery opening. The Food: I'm still thinking about the Crispy Chicken Sandwich--it was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and came with a fennel-apple slaw that actually felt fresh. We also shared the Bacon Wrapped Dates (obviously) and the Hand Cut Kennebec Fries, which arrive in a bowl so huge it could basically be its own zip code. The Drinks: Their Happy Hour is arguably the best in the city. I had the Japanese Dream with matcha, and it was expertly crafted--not too sweet, which is my biggest pet peeve. The "Misfit" Moment: The service can be a tiny bit slow when it's "rammed," and there's a 4% kitchen fee that feels a bit unnecessary, but they make up for it with those complimentary sea salt chocolate chip cookies at the end. They are warm, gooey, and life-changing. One major heads-up: I heard a rumor they might be closing their doors on April 18th due to some landlord drama, so get there while you still can.
